Xie Jiayao returned to Xie Mansion in embarrassment, and the maid wanted to ask what happened all the way, but when she saw Xie Jiayao's tears on her face, she couldn't ask anything.

Xie Fuli.

Master Xie was pacing back and forth in the study, guessing whether the result was good or bad, and if the result was bad, then their family would inevitably die.

It depends on whether the prince is willing to say a few good words for them in front of the saint, and now in addition to the emperor in the court, the one with the greatest voice is the six princes who were once the least favored.

The sixth prince already had a lot of courtiers behind him who supported him, so he needed enough troops to use as support.

Although the Xie family was inconspicuous in other years, Xie Jiayao's brother Xie Rui was a famous general, and he should return to Beijing in a few days.

Lord Xie sighed, only hoping that the six princes could see Xie Rui's sake, and give the Xie family another chance to survive.

"My lord, Miss is back." The butler hurried in the door to report.

When Lord Xie heard this, he was overjoyed, if the result was bad, Xie Jiayao would not return to the mansion at this time, it seemed that she had a satisfactory result, so she returned to the mansion.

"Hurry up and let her in."

There was joy in his voice that couldn't be concealed, it seemed that the Xie family could be saved this time, but Lord Xie thought of the bad character of the six princes, and remembered that when he asked to marry his own daughter, he silently rejected him.

This matter was kept secret by him, so not too many people knew, but who would have thought that the young man he looked down on at the beginning has now become the only candidate for the emperor.

Lord Xie sighed, fortunately, he was still willing to give the Xie family a chance, no matter what the price was, as long as he could protect the Xie family.

Xie Jiayao moved to the study step by step, her face was pale, she hadn't done anything, but she had a feeling that she had lost her innocence.

As the prince's wife, she has not yet come down from the divorce, but she can't wait to give herself to another person first, and even she looks down on this kind of bad behavior.

"The daughter has seen her father, and the sixth prince has promised that the daughter will say a few good words in front of the emperor for her father, presumably the Xie family should be able to survive."

Xie Jiayao tried hard to squeeze out a smile, but she couldn't smile, as long as she thought of the prince, who was still in the court, she might not be living a miserable and inhumane life.

If he knew that he had thrown himself into the arms of the six princes so quickly, he would definitely scold himself fiercely, maybe he would have thought about how to kill himself in his heart.

After all, his existence is like a kind of shame for him, Xie Jiayao gritted her teeth, just waiting for the Xie family to gain a firm foothold in the court, she committed suicide, she can't die even if it is for the Xie family now, she can only endure the humiliation and live.

Lord Xie looked at his daughter with tears on his face with pity, knowing that he had wronged her too much, and for the glory of the Xie family, she was forced to marry the prince and abandon the son of Shen Guogong, who was a childhood sweetheart at the time.

Now in order to be able to protect the Xie family, he is committed to the Six Princes, Lord Xie does not feel guilty about anyone in his life, and the only person who owes it is his daughter.

"Good boy, thank you for your hard work, the Xie family remembers your affection." He patted Xie Jiayao on the shoulder and asked her to go back and rest first.

"No matter what, you have to keep living, only by living can there be hope, child, do you understand?"

Master Xie said earnestly, Xie Jiayao is too haggard now, and it is inevitable that someone will see it and make a big fuss about it.

"My daughter understands." Xie Jiayao bowed and retreated, Ying fell on the bed as soon as she returned to the room, she refused to get up, she buried herself in the quilt, and cried happily, which made her feel better.

Outside, she is still the young lady of the Xie family, and she can't show any clues casually, and she can only vent a little in her own bed.

The maid looked at the ups and downs of the quilt, sighed deeply, and realized for the first time that being a master would face so much pain.

"If Miss is in Kyoto, she really can't stay any longer, not to mention, let's find a place with a good scenery to settle down, and we don't have to live in a mess like now."

She said innocently, thinking that as long as she could leave Kyoto, she would no longer be able to face these dark things, but she underestimated the ugliness of human nature.

"You, you, what a fool, if I leave Kyoto now, what do you say Daddy should do, what should Big Brother do, what should the Xie family do?"

These questions trapped her, and she is still nominally the prince's wife now, and if she leaves Kyoto rashly, she will definitely be arranged by someone with a heart, and maybe it will lead to death, and it will really be difficult to escape when the time comes.

"It's the slave who is so stupid that she just thinks that escaping is the solution to everything." The maid suddenly realized that some things could not be solved by leaving.

"I don't blame you, after all, you've been by my side since you were a child, and it's normal not to understand these things."

Although the Xie family is similar to other families, Xie Jiayao is not the same as those daughters, she was pampered since she was a child.

Master Xie never forced her to do things she didn't like, and no one else in the mansion could bully her, and her eldest brother also connived at her.

Since she was a child, Lord Xie has only forced her to do one thing, that is, to marry the prince, this is what she must do, she has enjoyed too many benefits as a member of the Xie family since she was a child, it makes no sense, she only enjoys it in this life and does not pay.

"Okay, you go out and rest, I want to be quiet for a while."

Xie Jiayao drove the maid out, covered herself in the quilt, and fell asleep after a while.

Ji Fu.

The county lord of Jianing has returned to his country, and the court is now changing rapidly, who knows if there will be a sudden war, she is timid, she can't stand these things, and she just found a reason to flee back.

Su Manxue looked at herself absentmindedly in the bronze mirror, only to feel that she looked more and more haggard now, like a flower that was about to die.

She sighed faintly, today was the day to give her final reply, she had maintained this state since she had risen in the morning, and several hours had passed now.

However, Zhao Jun didn't move at all, as if he had disappeared out of thin air, which made Su Manxue feel inexplicably uneasy, as if something was about to happen, and there was an indescribable discomfort and depression in his heart.

"Young lady, it's time for lunch."

The maid urged, Su Manxue nodded, and then got up and followed the maid out of the house.

For lunch, Ji Jiuhua was not there, he went out to go out with a few friends, saying that he would come back in the evening, so that she would be alone in the house, so she didn't have to miss him too much.
