117. Chapter 117 Chess pieces
Han Yuanchong never expected that the daughter he had raised for eighteen years was not his own flesh and blood. He didn't know whether he should be angry or sad.
"Take him down first." Xiao Jingchen ordered Zhang Wenyuan to be escorted out.
Han Yuanchong sat down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for informing me of the truth about this matter. However, this is my family matter, so it would be inappropriate for Your Majesty to interfere. I'd better leave Zhang Wenyuan to my disposal!"
Xiao Jingchen said: "What Han Shangshu said is wrong. Since my father has granted me the marriage, this matter involves the royal family's reputation. How can I sit idly by and do nothing. Han Shangshu can make big things trivial, but I can't turn a blind eye."
.”
Han Yuanchong sneered twice, "Since the prince has made this matter clear today, he must have already made plans to harm himself, so don't beat around the bush and just say it."
"Okay, then I will speak frankly." Xiao Jingchen said: "With such a background, Miss Han is not worthy of being a princess. But Han Shangshu also said that this is your family matter, and I don't want to let such a family scandal happen.
Everyone knows it. As for how to talk to my father, Han Shangshu should have an idea."
Han Yuanchong sighed and pointedly said: "The prince is still thoughtful! Since the prince has made it so clear, I naturally know what to do."
Xiao Jingchen said with satisfaction: "Then I'll have to thank Han Shangshu!"
…
The next day, after the morning court, Han Yuanchong went to Zhaoyang Hall to meet the saint...
After returning home, he locked himself in his room. He finally asked the emperor to take back the marriage decree, and even angered the emperor for this. I am afraid that his life will become more and more difficult in the future.
His plan came to nothing, and he also raised other people's daughters like the apple of his eye. If such a scandal were spread, he would not want to lose his old face.
At this time, there was a knock on the door: "Master?"
It's Liu.
Anger suddenly rose in his heart, and he wanted to strangle to death this bitch who had disgraced him.
But he can't, that bitch is shameless, he wants face.
After calming down, he said: "Come in!"
Mrs. Liu came in with tea and said with a smile: "Master, the date of Xi'er and Prince Qi's wedding has not been chosen yet, I think the eighteenth of the month is a good one. It's really hard work. I hope they can get married smoothly this time, so I can
I feel relieved.”
Han Yuanchong took a sip of tea and said coldly: "Today I have asked Your Majesty to withdraw the marriage decree, and their marriage will be cancelled."
When Mrs. Liu heard this, she was shocked and said: "Master, what did you say?"
"I said Xi'er can't marry King Qi!"
"Why?" Ms. Liu was puzzled: "Sir, you know that Xi'er loves Prince Qi, and isn't Prince Qi the prince that I have always wanted to support? Now that Prince Qi is very popular, many princes and nobles want to marry him, and the Holy Father also granted marriage.
, Master, why do you still..."
"You ask me why?" Han Yuanchong asked sharply: "You should ask yourself what good things you have done?"
Mrs. Liu didn't understand yet and thought he was referring to her usual doting on Han Yunxi. Then she said: "Master, Xi'er is your daughter. She is the lady of Shangshu Mansion. Even if she has a more arrogant temper, it doesn't hurt. Wait for her.
After you get married and have children, your temperament will naturally become calmer, so I don’t need to get angry because of this.”
"Hmph..." Han Yuanchong sneered again and again, "My daughter... I, Han Yuanchong, don't deserve such a daughter."
"Master..." Mrs. Liu hurriedly said: "What are you talking about? I'm not afraid that Xi'er will hear..."
"Don't mention that bastard to me again!" Han Yuanchong was so angry that his veins popped out. He grabbed Mrs. Liu's hair and said angrily: "The bastard born between you and that adulterer Zhang Wenyuan does not deserve the surname Han!"
After saying that, he slapped her and Ms. Liu fell to the ground, blood oozing from the corner of her mouth, and her bun was disheveled.
She looked at the furious Han Yuanchong with fear in her eyes, knowing in her heart that the incident had been revealed.
She cried and said: "Master, I was confused for a moment. It was...he forced me. For the sake of my dedicated service these years, Master, don't blame Xi'er. She doesn't know anything. She is innocent."
of."
Han Yuan Chong's lips trembled with anger: "Okay! That's great! I was lucky enough to think that this was just Xiao Jingchen's plan, but I didn't expect you to admit it so quickly! Bitch, I'm not mean to you, why do you still do it?
Do something so shameless!"
"Do you treat me badly?" Ms. Liu sneered and said, "Han Yuanchong, ask yourself, have you ever regarded me as your wife? You only have Ye Yunru in your heart!"
"Wife? You deserve it!" Han Yuanchong sat down and said, "Get out of here, I don't want to see your disgusting face again."
At this time, there was a sudden sound outside the door, and a maid said: "Miss, why are you here?"
"Xi'er..." Mrs. Liu murmured, straightened her hair, and opened the door, only to see that the maidservant was missing Han Yunxi.
"Where's the lady?"
The maid replied: "Madam, the young lady didn't know what happened, so she ran away crying."
Mrs. Liu hurried to Han Yunxi's room and saw her sitting on the bed blankly, looking out the window with empty eyes.
Ms. Liu stepped forward and took her hand, "Xi'er..."
Han Yunxi withdrew his hand and said coldly: "Don't touch me!"
"Xi'er, mother..."
"Leave!" Han Yunxi shouted loudly, "I don't want to see you!"
"Xi'er..." Mrs. Liu burst into tears, "You have to know that my mother really has no choice."
"You are not my mother!" Han Yunxi stared at her, "I don't have a mother who has an affair with others."
Mrs. Liu: "..."
"Go away! Go away!" Han Yunxi stood up and drove her out.
Mrs. Liu cried outside the door and said, "Xi'er, one day you will understand my mother's painstaking efforts."
Han Yunxi walked back in a daze, threw herself on the pillow and cried loudly...
Why? Why did she have such a shameless mother? Why did she turn into a bastard born from an affair overnight when she was clearly a daughter of a minister? She could obviously marry the best man in the world, but now
Everything is in vain...
As soon as the marriage between Han Yunxi and Xiao Jingchen came to an end, there was an endless stream of people who wanted to climb into Prince Qi's palace, and the threshold was almost broken. Xiao Jingchen disappeared.
The same is true in the Shangshu Mansion. There are many people who want to marry the Shangshu's daughter to pave the way for their own future, and Xiao Jingheng is one of them.
Although Han Yunxi is not his daughter, Han Yuanchong feels that he cannot raise her in vain for eighteen years. If he can't marry Xiao Jingchen, he will marry Xiao Jingheng. If Xiao Jingheng is not good enough, the worst is Xiao Jingyan. As long as he marries the emperor's son, his plan
There is still a glimmer of hope.
He came to Han Yunxi's room specially and took a look at the untouched food on the table.
He walked over and stroked Han Yunxi's hair, and said lovingly: "Xi'er, although you are not my father's biological daughter, the love between you and my daughter has been real for the past eighteen years. Your mother's personal moral corruption has nothing to do with you.
If you are willing, dad will still love you as much as before."
Han Yunxi slowly raised his head, tears burst into his eyes because of emotion, he threw himself into Han Yuanchong's arms and shouted: "Dad!"
Han Yuanchong patted her back and said, "Good boy, you will always be my father's good daughter."
Han Yunxi cried and said: "Dad, I will no longer be willful. I will definitely listen to dad."
"Okay!" Han Yuanchong said, "It's not in vain that dad loves you so much. You sit down first, dad has something to tell you."
Han Yunxi wiped her tears and said, "Dad, if you have anything to say, just say it, Xi'er will listen to you."
Han Yuanchong said: "Don't blame dad for being cruel. Dad knows that you are in love with King Qi, but King Qi has no affection for you at all. Do you know that King Qi has been checking your life experience in order to regret the marriage, and dad is also helpless.
If not, how can you hold your head up if this matter becomes such a big deal? No one knows about it yet, but you can still marry into a good family. King Yan Xiao Jingheng is a noble person and has already admired you. If you are willing...
…”
"I am willing!" Han Yunxi said: "As long as it can help dad, Xi'er is willing to do anything."
"Okay!" Han Yuanchong was very happy, "Then it's settled. You have a good rest, and dad will definitely let you marry into Prince Yan's palace."
After Han Yunchong left, Han Yunxi put away her flattering smile. It's not that she didn't know Han Yuanchong's purpose. She used to hate her marriage being used by him to consolidate her status. But now, what right does she have to hate? This is probably
The only use value she has left now, at least with this use, she won't be kicked out like a lost dog.
She is no longer the daughter of Shangshu Mansion, no longer the eldest lady of noble birth. But so what, she can still be Princess Yan, who is just as noble as before.
This is enough.
Prince Yan's Mansion.
"What did you say?" Jamel Xiao asked, "Is this serious?"
Xiao Jingyan said: "It should be true. Although this matter came from Yanhong Pavilion, it is not very credible. But it is too strange that Han Yuanchong personally asked his father to take back the decree."
Xiao Jamheng nodded: "Yes! It seems that there is something wrong with the life experience of this young lady from the Han family. If she is not the daughter of Han Yuanchong, what is the use of marrying her? Isn't it bad luck?"
"Yeah, I'm afraid Han Yuanchong is afraid of making his family ugly, so he wants to get rid of him quickly."
"No! I can't be taken advantage of." Xiao Jingheng said: "Hurry to the Shangshu Mansion and refuse this matter for me. Just say that I am not worthy of Miss Han and ask her to choose another lover."
"This..." Xiao Jingyan said: "Han Yuanchong plays an important role in the court. Brother Wang goes back on his words like this. I'm afraid that he will be impulsive..."
Jamel Xiao said speechlessly: "What are you afraid of? You are the prince after all, can he beat you?"
"I..." Xiao Jingyan hesitated because he didn't want to be this evil person. He was just a powerless prince, and he didn't want to offend Han Yuanchong.
"I'll go!" Xiao Jingyu, who had been silent for a long time, said, "I'll reject Han Shangshu on behalf of Brother Wang."
