Xie Youwei felt like a river of sadness was flowing backwards. Along the way, she kept asking if there was any way to cancel the engagement.
Obviously, a group of people from the Xie family had no idea.
There was no longer a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere in the carriage, and everyone had a bit of irritability on their faces.
General Xie scratched his head.
"Nanny, why don't you just run away from your marriage and go back to your grandfather's house, or I can buy you a house somewhere else."
"But if you escape from marriage, won't you be punished..."
That was the decree given by the Queen Mother.
Who can't see that the person who is really in charge of the government and the public now is the Queen Mother, not the Emperor.
Even Chu Yan didn't dare to disobey the Queen Mother, let alone their general's mansion.
General Xie rubbed his neck, his expression unconcerned.
"What's the big deal? At worst, I'll retire and return home! I'm afraid I won't be able to survive with all the savings I've accumulated over the years, right?"
Speak loudly.
But Xie Youwei also knows that things are not that simple.
If they really run away from their marriage, the Xie family will probably suffer a great loss of vitality.
The Queen Mother will definitely have a grudge against the Xie family, and when the time comes my father's situation in both the government and the public will definitely become particularly difficult.
Xie Lianzhu on the other side was also particularly puzzled by this sudden decision.
"Hasn't the Queen Mother always loved your king the most? I remember your king said before that he didn't want to marry and have children. Why did the Queen Mother suddenly marry my sister to your king?"
Xie Rosary's face was full of confusion.
She didn't want her sister to marry someone she didn't know at all.
Xie Rosary pouted.
"And I heard that His Royal Highness was burned in the fire, and his whole face was..."
Xie Nianzhu raised his eyes and looked at the expression on his mother's face, then closed his mouth in a sullen voice.
Mrs. Xie sighed.
"Weiwei, don't be too anxious. I will go to the palace to see the Queen Mother after a while to see if there is any room for maneuver on this matter."
Even though they say this, everyone actually knows this.
It is probably impossible to get the arrogant Queen Mother to withdraw the imperial edict she issued.
Xie Youwei nodded, but his thoughts still stayed on Xie Rosary's words.
Indeed, Prince Ling is the biological son of the Queen Mother, and his only child.
The Queen Mother devoted almost all her efforts to the king.
However, things didn't go as planned. Wang Ling's face was burned in a fire a few years ago, and he also suffered many injuries. He lay on the hospital bed for a long time.
It happened that the late emperor was critically ill at that time, and Chu Qin's frail appearance at that time was naturally impeached by many ministers.
In the end, the then empress, who is now the empress dowager, finally made a compromise and agreed to abolish Chu Qin's position as crown prince, and instead took Chu Yan, the son of the late Concubine Duan, into her lap to raise.
Then Chu Yan succeeded to the throne smoothly.
Since then, King Ling seems to have shown that he has no intention of ruling the country.
But in the heart of the Queen Mother, she always stubbornly believed that Chu Qin would return to the throne one day.
And after the fire, the Queen Mother almost responded to Chu Qin's requests and obeyed Chu Qin in everything.
Why is this person suddenly getting married today?
Xie Youwei touched his chin along the way, thinking about the reasons and countermeasures.
When she returned to her yard and sat beside the bed, Xie Youwei suddenly opened her eyes and straightened her back.
"Yes!"
Xicui stood aside, holding a basin of water in her hand, and was so frightened by the sound that she froze in place.
"The Queen Mother granted us the marriage because Her Royal Highness saved me in the afternoon, so she mistakenly thought His Royal Highness was interested in me, so she specially granted marriage to us. As long as Her Royal Highness and the Queen Mother reveal that they have no romantic feelings for me, they will
Due to the Queen Mother's love for His Highness, isn't the breakup of the engagement a matter of minutes?"
Xicui blinked her eyes, looking half-comprehensive.
"But...Miss, what if His Highness is really interested in you?"
"No way, no way!"
Xie Youwei waved her hand confidently and rejected Xicui's conjecture with one vote.
"He probably suddenly became kind-hearted, or he was secretly trying to win over the power of the General's Palace."
Xie Youwei felt that the latter was more likely. After all, the King Ling in the original work had been dormant for a long time and severely damaged Chu Yan in the later stage.
After all, in the original work, His Royal Highness showed no interest in facing all kinds of beauties.
How could he be attracted to such a sick person like her?
"As long as I make it clear to him that the General's Office will not participate in any disputes over imperial power, and I make him feel a little disgusted with me, will he not want to break off the engagement? Once the engagement is broken off, the General's Office will be the one who has been let down.
Now, not only can the Emperor and the Queen Mother not be able to target the General's Mansion, they also have to compensate us."
The more Xie Youwei talked, the happier she became.
It seems that he has seen a bright future after breaking off the engagement.
Xicui frowned and subconsciously wanted to refute.
My own lady is so outstanding, why would His Highness look down on her lady?
But seeing her young lady's confident expression, Xicui suppressed these words.
"But if the engagement is annulled, the lady's reputation..."
"What do you want that thing for? You can't eat it." Xie Youwei waved her hand nonchalantly, "It's not like the General's Mansion can't support me."
Xicui was silent.
That makes sense.
But something doesn't feel right.
Xie Youwei is a person who does what he says, so he immediately sent someone to send a greeting card to Prince Ling's Mansion, preparing to make an appointment with His Highness the Prince tomorrow.
Ling Wangfu.
Xiao Jinyan leaned sideways on the beauty's couch.
A mask covered his entire face, leaving only a pair of dark, deep eyes.
At this time, Xiao Jinyan was lowering his eyes, looking at the greeting card that the boy had just sent over in his hand.
It clearly says that his fiancée, the eldest daughter of the Xie family, Xie Youwei, has made an appointment with Chu Qin at Huifeng Lake tomorrow.
After thinking about that magical girl, Xiao Jinyan took off the mask on his face.
Under the mask was not a face that had been burned by fire, but on the contrary, a face with sharp edges and sharp features, deep and beautiful features.
He is not Chu Qin.
Switching between two identities all year round, Xiao Jinyan never thought about getting married.
Getting married will increase the possibility of his identity being exposed and bring many unnecessary risks.
Therefore, he used his identity as Chu Qin to clearly express his unwillingness to marry and have children.
But when he heard the marriage decree this afternoon, Xiao Jinyan strangely did not resist.
Even thinking about it.
This should be pretty good, right?
If Xie Youwei came to this courtyard.
It should make this place lively.
Xiao Jinyan didn't know what he was thinking about, but he just instinctively wanted to bring that different person into his realm.
In this case, let Chu Qin go see Xie Youwei tomorrow.
Xiao Jinyan raised his hand and put the mask back on his face. This chapter has been completed!
