Chapter 527 - 527 What happened?
After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister's Treasure
527 What happened?
Everyone noticed Xiao Yuanshiâs arrival.
Seeing that he was staring at Prince Yi and his mother, Xiao Hanzheng said, âWhatâs the matter, Deputy Governor Xiao?â
Xiao Yuanshiâs expression changed. âI have something to discuss with you.â
Xiao Hanzheng had almost finished his meal, so he put down his bowl and stood up. âLetâs talk inside then? â
Xiao Yuanshi couldnât help but glance at Prince Yi and Kong Yuelan.
Seeing that neither of them was looking at him, he felt very uncomfortable.
Especially Kong Yuelan, who actually ignored him.
He took a deep breath and could not smile.
He nodded to Xiao Hanzheng and said, âOkay!
Then, he followed Xiao Hanzheng into the study room.
He even took the initiative to close the door.
Xiao Hanzheng sat down. âGo on.â
Xiao Yuanshi had already put aside the matter of finding Xiao Hanzheng.
He walked over and sat next to Xiao Hanzheng, asking in a low voice, âWhatâs going on between your mother and Prince Yi?â
Xiao Hanzheng looked at his anxious face and felt it was ironic.
He had never been so nervous before. What had he been doing?
âItâs what you see,â he replied indifferently.
Although Xiao Yuanshi was mentally prepared, his expression still changed. âExplain it clearly.â
âPrince Yi likes my mother, â Xiao Hanzheng replied. âHeâs been pursuing her since they were in Heyang County. He wants to marry her.â
He added meaningfully, âand he promised that in the future, my mother will be the only princess consort, in the whole of Prince Yiâs residence. There will be no other women.â
Xiao Yuanshi didnât believe him. âHeâs a first-ranked prince in Daliang. He can have any woman he wants. Is it achievable for him to have your mother as his only woman?
âAfter your mother marries into his family, what can you do if he takes in a secondary consort or a concubine?â
Which man wouldnât cheat?
Even if he really liked Ge Chunru and promised her that he would only have her, he still took in Liu Ru as his concubine in the end.
Xiao Hanzheng glanced at his scumbag father coldly.
âPrince Yi is different from you. Just because you canât do it doesnât mean that others canât.
âIf Prince Yi is a playboy, his backyard would not be so clean now, without a single woman.â
He still believed Prince Yiâs promise.
After all, Prince Yi didnât meet a woman he liked in his previous life, so he seek refuge from Buddha without shaving his hair away.
He knew this aspect very well.
In his previous life, because he had not met a wife, no matter how beautiful or talented a woman was, they were all the same to him, and he wasnât interested in them.
In this life, he had met his little wife.
He had fallen in love with her, so he would only have her in this life.
Only his scumbag father would use his identity and other reasons to do disgusting things.
Xiao Yuanshi choked.
He thought and realized that there was indeed no woman in Prince Yiâs backyard.
Moreover, it was said that Prince Yi was either served by eunuchs or manservants.
He didnât even have a personal maid.
In the past, some people had speculated that Prince Yi was too weak to be with women.
But the general who had seen Prince Yiâs freestyle didnât seem weak.
On the contrary, he was highly skilled in martial arts.
âDo you really wish to have a stepfather that much?â He couldnât help but ask.
Xiao Hanzheng raised his eyebrows. Why should we object to having one more person to dote on our mother? â
Xiao Yuanshiâs expression was unsightly as he sarcastically said, âYou guys are really big-hearted. Your biological father is still here, and youâre already trying to find a stepfather for your mother.â
He had come to Heyang County this time not only to ask Xiao Hanzheng to help treat its illness, but also to cooperate with him.
In fact, he still had a small intention, which was to make peace with Mdm Kong.
These days in the northern border, he often couldnât help but think of Kong Yuelanâs slaps and her disdainful look at his ugly writing.
She was becoming more and more lively, and it was as if he had returned to the past, when he had fallen in love with her at first sight.
This meant that he had fallen for her again.
In the past, he had only thought that she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.
In addition, her family could be of help to him, so he asked for her hand in marriage because of her appearance and benefits.
This time, he liked her from the bottom of his heart, just like how he liked Ge Chunru in the past.
He believed that Kong Yuelan loved him very much, and she was forced to separate for the sake of his children.
So as long as he treated her well from now on, their family would be able to live together again.
...
The three children valued Kong Yuelan so much that if they mended their relationship, these children would not care about the past unhappiness.
For the sake of his motherâs future happiness, Xiao Hanzheng had to take the initiative to treat him.
That was what he was planning, who knew that Prince Yi would suddenly appear.
Xiao Hanzheng sneered. âLet me correct you. Weâve broken off our relationship, so weâre not related anymore.
âMy mother deserves someone better.â
He sized up his scumbag father and said, âPrince Yi is much better than you in terms of identity, appearance, temperament, character, thoughtfulness, and physical and mental purity.
âWhy should my mother not choose the good ones, and instead chose to eat a fruit like you, a tasteless and disgusting old grass?â
Because he had been with Shi Qingluo for a long time, Xiao Hanzheng was now particularly good at retaliating and shooting his mouth off at people he hated.
Sure enough, Xiao Yuanshiâs face darkened after hearing this.
He said sarcastically, âAt the end of the day, you still valued Prince Yiâs noble status.â
Xiao Hanzheng smirked. âYou can think of it like this too. Prince Yi has a noble status, and heâs also considerate and devoted to my mother. Even a fool knows which one to choose.â
...
Xiao Yuanshi sneered, âBut will the empress dowager and the emperor let Prince Yi marry a divorced woman who has three children? â
Prince Yi was already the legitimate son when the late emperor was alive. Besides Prince Jin, he was the son that the late emperor cared about more.
Even though he was only a prince, the emperor was his legitimate brother related by blood.
To put it bluntly, as long as Prince Yi was willing, he could choose among all the unmarried women in the entire Daliang.
With the empress dowager and the emperorâs love for Prince Yi, it was impossible for them to let Prince Yi marry Kong Yuelan.
Xiao Hanzheng raised his eyebrows again. âThatâs what Prince Yi wants to solve.
âIf he canât even solve this problem, what right does he have to marry my mother?â
No matter what other people thought, in their opinion, their mother was the best.
If Prince Yi couldnât even convince the empress dowager and the emperor, they wouldnât support their mother to marry.
That would mean that Prince Yi couldnât protect her and would let her suffer.
They didnât let Prince Yi marry their mother because he was a prince.
They only hoped that her mother would have a man who would love her and accompany her when she was old, so they wouldnât break up.
Of course, Xiao Hanzheng didnât think that a wolf like Prince Yi couldnât do this.
He would probably be able to persuade the empress dowager and the emperor to quickly bestow the marriage.
Xiao Yuanshiâs face was full of shock.
These words made it seem like they were being picky on Prince Yi.
His son was getting more and more daring.
Xiao Hanzheng saw through his thoughts at a glance. âItâs Prince Yi who pursued and insisted on marrying my mother. Of course he will solve this, so you donât have to worry about it.â
His scumbag father measured many things by their benefits. It was boring.
Xiao Yuanshi knew that he couldnât persuade his son.
It seemed that both his sons and daughter supported Kong Yuelanâs remarriage.
âWhat does your mother think?â he asked.
âDid you ask her? Maybe sheâs not even willing to do it. â
