If it werenât for the fact that they were in the Xue family residence, Xiao Nanye would have killed Xue Ru.
âHuan Er is my future queen. If anyone dares to speak ill of her, donât blame me for being impolite.â
âBut a joke between two sisters, why should Your Highness King Cheng beâ¦â Wang Fengyi could not just watched and intervence. However, when she met Xiao Nanyeâs icy gaze, she dared not continue.
âYour Highness, save meâ¦â
Xue Ru tried to resist, but her wrist was firmly gripped by Ye Xiao. No matter how much Xue Ru tried to evade, Ye Xiaoâs 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 couldnât deny the satisfaction she felt watching Xue Ru now being punished.
Xue Ru looked at Xiao Junhao with pleading eyes.
Xiao Junhaoâs expression turned sour. He had not expected Xiao Nanye to act so ruthlessly. He said to Xiao Nanye, âDear Imperial Uncle, please, I ask for some respect.â
âSince youâve spoken, Iâll spare her this time.â
âYe Xiao, stop.â
Ye Xiao ceased her action, leaving Xue Ruâs 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, âYour Highness, regarding your intention to marry Ru Er, Iâm afraid I cannot agree.â âGrandmother, whyâ¦â
âIf you say another word, Xue Ru, Iâll have you beaten to death on the spot!â Hearing Old Madam Xueâs words, panic filled Xue Ruâs eyes. She instinctively wanted to respond, but Old Madam Xue cut her off before she could finish. After that threat, Xue Ru didnât dare utter another word.
âOld Madam Xue, what if I insist on marrying her? After all, Ru Er is already mine.â
âYes, grandmother, perhaps 1 already carry his child.â
Jiang Peihuan:ââ¦â
Xiao Nanye:ââ¦â
âHuan Er, is she really your uncleâs daughter?â
Upon hearing Xue Ruâs words, Jiang Peihuan was utterly speechless.
Jiang Peihuan turned to face Xiao Nanye, her eyes reflecting her complicated feelings, âI truly hope not.â
The male heirs of the Xue family were all considered top-notch, and Jiang Peihuan couldnât comprehend why an exception like Xue Ru existed among them.
Perhaps Xue Ruâs words had cooled her anger, for the rage in Old Madam Xueâs eyes seemed to fade.
Upon hearing Xue Ru, Old Madam Xue suddenly spoke, âAre you set on marrying into the Prince Qingâs mansion?â
âYes.â
After that, Old Madam Xue looked directly at Xiao Junhao.â Does Your Highness have to marry Xue Ru?â
âYes.â
Hearing Old Madam Xueâs words, Xiao Junhao was silent for a few seconds before nodding.
âIn that case, 1 agree to this marriage.â
âMother?â
When Xue Yan and Xu Yunniang heard this, they were shocked. However, Old
Madam Xue suddenly smiled.â But 1 havenât finished speaking.â
Old Madam Xue continued,â From now on, Xue Ru is no longer the daughter of the Xue family. She has nothing to do with the Xue family.â
âIn the future, whether she lives or dies in the Qingâs mansion has no relation to the Xue family.â
âGrandmother, what are you saying?â
Xue Ruâs eyes filled with panic as she looked at Old Madam Xue.
âDonât you understand what Iâm saying? Iâm telling you, from now on, youâre not part of the Xue family.â
âIf Iâm not part of the Xue family, then who am I?â
âYouâre merely a concubine of the Prince Qing Mansion, no ties to the Xue family anymore.â
Having said that, Old Madam Xue turned to Xiao Junhao, âPrince Qing, you can take her away. From here on, her fate is no longer the concern of the Xue family.â
Upon hearing Old Madam Xueâs words, Xiao Junhaoâs 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 wasnât a member of the Xue family, why would he marry her? âMother, how can you say that? Ru Er is the daughter of the general and mine. Sheâ¦â
âThis is the eldest Brotherâs home. If you say another word, you can leave the
Xue family too.â
Hearing Old Madam Xueâs words, Wang Fengyi remained silence.
âHuan Er, Iâm a little tired. I heard that your courtyard is a good place to rest.â
Old Madam Xue didnât 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.â Prince Qing, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and take your wife home.â
After saying that, Xiao Nanye followed Jiang Peihuan.
âGrandmother, you donât have to be sad. I believe that if uncle knows, he wonât blame you.â
âXue Ru, that idiot. She really thinks that the Prince Qing likes her. If she wasnât from the Xue family, do you think he would talk to her?â
âI canât let your only two uncles and all your cousins get into trouble because of her.â
Although Old Madam Xue was an intelligent person. She saw through Xiao Junhaoâs 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,â Grandmother, have some hot ginseng tea.â
âAlright.â
Taking the cup from Jiang Peihuanâs hands, she took two sips.
Then, Jiang Peihuan also handed Xiao Nanye a cup of tea.
When he took the teacup from Jiang Peihuanâs hand, the manâs fingers gently brushed past Jiang Peihuanâs fingertips. Sensing the warmth of her fingertips, Jiang Peihuan glared at the man.
âHuan Er, I have something for you.â
Old Madam Xue put down the teacup in her hand and suddenly handed Jiang Peihuan a black wooden box.
Jiang Peihuan asked softly,â Grandmother, what is this?â
âYouâll know when you open it.â
Jiang Peihuan opened the box. Inside the box was a stack of title deeds. âGrandmother, what are you doing?â
âThis is 500 mu of fertile land in the suburbs of the capital. Itâs your dowry from your grandmother.â
âGrandmother, I canât accept this.â
As she spoke, Jiang Peihuan had already pushed the title deed back. However, when Old Madam Xue saw Jiang Peihuanâs actions, she frowned.â Why? Do you think itâs too little?â
âGrandmother, you know that Huan Er didnât mean it that way..â
