walked step by step towards Fang Tianjing.With every step she took, Fang Tianjing felt a sharp killing intent bearing down on him, suffocating him. He had walked the Jianghu for so many years, seeing...Xiao Yu's words caused the crowd to gasp again, and they began to whisper amongst themselves in hushed tones.
"Divorce This is a serious crime against the emperor! Are you trying to commit suicide!"
If she were to be jilted now, her reputation would probably be ruined for life!
"What a pity, she went from a noble heiress to some random country girl overnight..."
Everyone pointed and watched the tiny red figure standing in the midst of the storm, sighing in unison. Just how dazzling she had been moments ago, now they felt only pity for her.
"No! I won't agree!" Before Xiao Zhan could speak, Qian Si Chen quickly rushed to Xiao Yu Ge's face: "Ge'er, the one who made a betrothal agreement with me is you. Whether you are the legitimate daughter of the Xiao family or not, I will not break off the engagement with you!"
"Your Highness, the imperial decree from that year stated that the eldest daughter of the Xiao family was betrothed to you. However, I am no longer the eldest daughter of the Xiao family, so naturally, our marriage is no longer valid. The person you have affection for is my elder sister, and the one you should marry is my elder sister, the true eldest daughter of the Xiao family, not me!"
"Ge'er, it seems I haven't made myself clear. Let me say this again, no matter if you are the legitimate daughter of the Xiao family or not, I will marry you!" Qian Sichin's eyes were firm, and his tone was resolute.
"You!" Xiao Yuge choked, this scumbag had mistreated her for a lifetime and still wouldn't let her go Did he want to deliver himself into her hands on purpose Humph! If it weren't for the fact that she couldn't kill him now, she would have already decided where to bury him.
Xiao Zhan frowned slightly, this matter was indeed a bit tricky: "Ge'er, the emperor had previously issued an edict to have you two sisters marry into the East Palace together. The prince said..."
"Father, all of this originally belonged to elder sister. I have already taken up my elder sister's life for over a decade. Now, how can I compete with her for a husband Father, please agree!" Xiao Yuge lowered her eyes, her eyelashes like fans concealing all her thoughts: 搶渣男?She wasn't crazy!
Seeing this, Xiao Yu Fu's smug expression couldn't be concealed. She almost wanted to declare to the whole world that she was the legitimate daughter of the Xiao family and the one betrothed to Si Chen. Xiao Yu Ge was just an impostor! She wanted to see how Xiao Yu Ge would keep her face in this capital city after being disengaged by Si Chen.
Xiao Zhan also frowned: "Ge'er, have you thought this through As a woman, if you are jilted like this, your reputation will be ruined. How will you find a good husband in the future"
In that era, a woman who was jilted by her fiancé had only two options: to remain a spinster and live a solitary life, or to become a nun, dedicating her life to the Buddha. Either way, her future wouldn't be bright.
"Father!"
"Uncle Xiao!"
As soon as he spoke, Chu Tianqi and Ning Feng from the side almost simultaneously walked out, kneeling down to Xiao Zhan on one knee each, then looking at each other.
"What are you doing" Xiao Zhan looked bewildered, about to ask for clarification.
"Prime Minister, who said that Ge'er couldn't find a good husband"
Just then, a deep and powerful, magnetic voice suddenly came from the door. Everyone turned their heads in surprise. In fine robes, Qian Tingxuan walked over with his long legs. With his aura fully open, every step he took was filled with power, exuding an inherent majesty. Under the mask, those black eyes had been fixed on that small figure since the moment he entered.
"My Lord, what are you doing here" Xiao Zhan was astonished. Not only him, but everyone present also looked puzzled, wondering why he suddenly appeared here and for what purpose.
“This king is here to deliver the imperial brother’s decree.” Qian Tingxuan stepped forward, his hands clasped behind his back, slowly turned around, and glanced at Chu Tianqi and Ning Feng. His eyes were full of warning, forcefully choking back the words they wanted to say: Hmph! Dare to covet his little wife, are you looking for death!
Everyone immediately knelt down.
Qian Tingxuan cleared his throat and said, "By imperial decree, the betrothal between the prince and the eldest daughter of the Xiao family was annulled. Since Xiao Yuge is not the eldest daughter of the Xiao family, from today onwards, her engagement to the prince is void. From now on, the man marries a woman, and they have nothing to do with each other. This is it!"
"Long live the Emperor! Long live! Long live! Long live!"
"No! Impossible! Father wouldn't give such an order!" Qian Sicheng was shocked, he couldn't believe his father would do such a thing.
“Si Chen, are you saying that this king is falsely conveying the imperial decree” Qian Tingxuan glanced at him, his eyes unconsciously turning cold: You little punk, dare to covet his young wife If he doesn't give you a slap, it would be considered polite.
"No! That's not right, I won't break off my engagement with Ge’er! I must go see the Emperor! Ge’er, wait for me!" Qian Si Chen roared, turning and stumbling out.
"Brother Sichen..." Xiao Yufu saw Qian Sicheng like this, her heart ached. She bit her lip lightly, and the hatred for Xiao Yuge in her heart grew by another point: she snatched away her life, and now she wants to snatch her brother Sichen too, no way!
“Prime Minister, on your birthday, this king said that the seven-colored cup was his dowry. The dowry has been received, and the engagement between Xiao Ge’er and the prince has been annulled. Therefore, from now on, Xiao Ge’er will be this king’s future queen!” Qian Tingxuan walked to Xiao Yuge’s face and domineeringly pulled her into his arms. She was really beautiful today, he couldn't wait to take her home right now. Seeing the way those people looked at her, he felt inexplicably angry.
Upon hearing this, everyone was astonished!
Thinking to himself: This carefree King, who has countless beautiful companions, would actually be interested in Xiao Er Miss, who is so much younger than him Perhaps he just wants a bit of novelty for a while.
Especially Chu Tianqi, he was secretly pleased when he heard that Ge'er and Qian Siqin had broken off their engagement. However, unexpectedly, halfway through his journey, a dashing king appeared, claiming to be Ge'er's fiancé. One fiancé left, and another arrived, which he found unacceptable.
Xiao Yu Ge secretly furrowed her brows, glaring at Qian Ting Xuan with a warning in her eyes. Don't mess things up for her, or she wouldn't let him get away with it!
Qianting Xuan was only looking at her with doting eyes. He guessed that all of this was a trap set by her. He didn't plan to intervene originally, but he couldn't bear to see her standing alone in the midst of this wind and rain, facing everything by herself. His little daughter-in-law, he wouldn't allow her to suffer even the slightest grievance.
"Father, Mother, the imperial decree has been issued, and Ge'er must also depart now." Xiao Yuge once again knelt before Xiao Zhan and his wife: "Ge'er bids farewell to Father and Mother this time. In this life, Ge'er only wishes for Father and Mother's good health, happiness, and peace!"
"Song'er…" Madam Xiao trembled as she reached out with both hands. She wanted to keep Song’er, but she didn't know how to start the conversation. The imperial edict had been issued, Song’er's engagement to the prince was annulled. If she stayed in the manor any longer, what would become of her
"My lady, rest assured, with this king here, I will never allow Little Song to suffer the slightest grievance." Qian Tingxuan even dared to touch Xiao Yuge's head in public.
It's better he doesn't speak. The moment he opens his mouth, Madam Xiao feels even more uneasy. Everyone in the capital knows that Prince Xiaoyao is a notorious playboy with countless mistresses by his side. If Xiaoge goes with him, who knows how much she might suffere and bring them food." Xiao Yufu said with a sincere face. If Xiao Yuge didn't remember her past life, she would really think that she was so kind-hearted.Before Xiao Yu Ge could speak, Ning Hua besi...
