If it weren’t for the fact that they were in the Xue family residence, Xiao Nanye would have killed Xue Ru.
“Huan Er is my future queen. If anyone dares to speak ill of her, don’t blame me for being impolite.”
“But a joke between two sisters, why should Your Highness King Cheng be…” Wang Fengyi could not just watched and intervence. However, when she met Xiao Nanye’s icy gaze, she dared not continue.
“Your Highness, save me…”
Xue Ru tried to resist, but her wrist was firmly gripped by Ye Xiao. No matter how much Xue Ru tried to evade, Ye Xiao’s slaps landed precisely on her face.
Out of respect for the Old Madam Xue, Jiang Peihuan had always refrained from picking fights with Xue Ru.
She couldn’t deny the satisfaction she felt watching Xue Ru now being punished.
Xue Ru looked at Xiao Junhao with pleading eyes.
Xiao Junhao’s expression turned sour. He had not expected Xiao Nanye to act so ruthlessly. He said to Xiao Nanye, “Dear Imperial Uncle, please, I ask for some respect.”
“Since you’ve spoken, I’ll spare her this time.”
“Ye Xiao, stop.”
Ye Xiao ceased her action, leaving Xue Ru’s face red and swollen.
The Old Madam Xue, witnessing the scene, felt a constriction in her chest.
After a long pause, she turned to Xiao Junhao and said, “Your Highness, regarding your intention to marry Ru Er, I’m afraid I cannot agree.” “Grandmother, why…”
“If you say another word, Xue Ru, I’ll have you beaten to death on the spot!” Hearing Old Madam Xue’s words, panic filled Xue Ru’s eyes. She instinctively wanted to respond, but Old Madam Xue cut her off before she could finish. After that threat, Xue Ru didn’t dare utter another word.
“Old Madam Xue, what if I insist on marrying her? After all, Ru Er is already mine.”
“Yes, grandmother, perhaps 1 already carry his child.”
Jiang Peihuan:”…”
Xiao Nanye:”…”
“Huan Er, is she really your uncle’s daughter?”
Upon hearing Xue Ru’s words, Jiang Peihuan was utterly speechless.
Jiang Peihuan turned to face Xiao Nanye, her eyes reflecting her complicated feelings, “I truly hope not.”
The male heirs of the Xue family were all considered top-notch, and Jiang Peihuan couldn’t comprehend why an exception like Xue Ru existed among them.
Perhaps Xue Ru’s words had cooled her anger, for the rage in Old Madam Xue’s eyes seemed to fade.
Upon hearing Xue Ru, Old Madam Xue suddenly spoke, “Are you set on marrying into the Prince Qing’s mansion?”
“Yes.”
After that, Old Madam Xue looked directly at Xiao Junhao.” Does Your Highness have to marry Xue Ru?”
“Yes.”
Hearing Old Madam Xue’s words, Xiao Junhao was silent for a few seconds before nodding.
“In that case, 1 agree to this marriage.”
“Mother?”
When Xue Yan and Xu Yunniang heard this, they were shocked. However, Old
Madam Xue suddenly smiled.” But 1 haven’t finished speaking.”
Old Madam Xue continued,” From now on, Xue Ru is no longer the daughter of the Xue family. She has nothing to do with the Xue family.”
“In the future, whether she lives or dies in the Qing’s mansion has no relation to the Xue family.”
“Grandmother, what are you saying?”
Xue Ru’s eyes filled with panic as she looked at Old Madam Xue.
“Don’t you understand what I’m saying? I’m telling you, from now on, you’re not part of the Xue family.”
“If I’m not part of the Xue family, then who am I?”
“You’re merely a concubine of the Prince Qing Mansion, no ties to the Xue family anymore.”
Having said that, Old Madam Xue turned to Xiao Junhao, “Prince Qing, you can take her away. From here on, her fate is no longer the concern of the Xue family.”
Upon hearing Old Madam Xue’s words, Xiao Junhao’s expression was not too happy.
The reason why he wanted to marry Xue Ru was to use his relationship with the Xue family to get close to the Jiang family.
If Xue Ru wasn’t a member of the Xue family, why would he marry her? “Mother, how can you say that? Ru Er is the daughter of the general and mine. She…”
“This is the eldest Brother’s home. If you say another word, you can leave the
Xue family too.”
Hearing Old Madam Xue’s words, Wang Fengyi remained silence.
“Huan Er, I’m a little tired. I heard that your courtyard is a good place to rest.”
Old Madam Xue didn’t look at anyone else but looked at Jiang Peihuan.
Jiang Peihuan quickly went forward to hold her hand.
Jiang Peihuan brought Old Madam Xue to her courtyard.
Xue Ru, who was kneeling on the ground, watched Old Madam Xue leave.
At this moment, Xiao Nanye and looked at Xiao Junhao.” Prince Qing, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and take your wife home.”
After saying that, Xiao Nanye followed Jiang Peihuan.
“Grandmother, you don’t have to be sad. I believe that if uncle knows, he won’t blame you.”
“Xue Ru, that idiot. She really thinks that the Prince Qing likes her. If she wasn’t from the Xue family, do you think he would talk to her?”
“I can’t let your only two uncles and all your cousins get into trouble because of her.”
Although Old Madam Xue was an intelligent person. She saw through Xiao Junhao’s plan.
When Old Madam Xue spoke, Jiang Peihuan just stayed by her side as her listener.
Jiang Peihuan and Old Madam Xue sat down in the pavilion of the Plum
Garden. Jiang Peihuan said softly,” Grandmother, have some hot ginseng tea.”
“Alright.”
Taking the cup from Jiang Peihuan’s hands, she took two sips.
Then, Jiang Peihuan also handed Xiao Nanye a cup of tea.
When he took the teacup from Jiang Peihuan’s hand, the man’s fingers gently brushed past Jiang Peihuan’s fingertips. Sensing the warmth of her fingertips, Jiang Peihuan glared at the man.
“Huan Er, I have something for you.”
Old Madam Xue put down the teacup in her hand and suddenly handed Jiang Peihuan a black wooden box.
Jiang Peihuan asked softly,” Grandmother, what is this?”
“You’ll know when you open it.”
Jiang Peihuan opened the box. Inside the box was a stack of title deeds. “Grandmother, what are you doing?”
“This is 500 mu of fertile land in the suburbs of the capital. It’s your dowry from your grandmother.”
“Grandmother, I can’t accept this.”
As she spoke, Jiang Peihuan had already pushed the title deed back. However, when Old Madam Xue saw Jiang Peihuan’s actions, she frowned.” Why? Do you think it’s too little?”
“Grandmother, you know that Huan Er didn’t mean it that way..”
