To be honest, Xia Huaiqing was not without worry about this problem before. But they have always been in a passive state, and they no longer have the slightest leisure time to take care of so much.

Whether Xiahou Mansion can continue to exist or not, we will definitely see in the next few days.

"If you want to play this one, it's too late." Xia Huaiqing said in a deep voice, and the bloody reality was revealed in front of Xia Chengdao's eyes.

"Now the mansion is already crumbling, the emperor has not let go of our thoughts, and the people have also signed a joint letter, wanting to abolish my marquis."

"Although our Xia family is considered the founding father, and the position of the Hou Ye has been passed down from generation to generation, now it may be interrupted in the middle."

The implication is clear.

No matter how stupid Xia Chengdao is, he can also hear that this Xiahou Mansion will be very bleak in the future, and his superior living conditions will soon become a thing of the past.

His heart was held by a hand, Xia Chengdao suppressed the hatred in his heart and asked, "Father means to be reconciled?" ”

Xia Huaiqing nodded, unambiguous.

"Reconciliation is the best we can do at the moment." He opened his mouth to explain, "You and Mingru originally didn't have any emotional foundation, the only bond has been eliminated, and even if you are in a weak position, it is also a good choice." ”

Xia Chengdao never had any plans in his heart, he listened to Xia Huaiqing's words and felt that there was indeed some truth.

Mingru was amazed when he looked at it at first, and he always thought in his heart that he was married to a treasure.

The life after marriage is firewood, rice, oil and salt, and the years are like a washboard, which has ruined his last good feelings, and the only thing left is to look at each other and hate each other.

Xia Chengdao couldn't find the stimulation he had before, and his attention returned to the concubine in the backyard.

The concubines are all white and beautiful, with a pair of hooking eyes, just a slight glance is enough to make people fall.

Xia Chengdao was confused, and he was in the pile of women.

The life of smallpox and wine eroded his heart over and over again, and the connivance of Su Ruixin and Xia Huaiqing added fuel to the fire, making him more and more bold.

Mingru's only thought about her husband has also been dispelled, her life in Xiahou's Mansion is getting worse day by day, and only Xia Xu has become the hope to support her to go on.

The two have different views, and gradually they become strangers.

"I'll listen to my father about it." Xia Chengdao already had a plan, "Pick a suitable time to make things clear with Mingru, so as not to cause trouble again." ”

Xia Huaiqing bowed his head, shook his sleeves and left.

Su Ruixin had also heard about it.

There was no reaction in her heart, and the only thing she could do was a little bit of happiness that her life could go on.

Xia Chengdao and Mingru were in Tianxiang Pavilion three days later.

Tianxiang Pavilion had been cleared in advance, and when Xia Chengdao walked up step by step, he saw Mingru in the innermost private room.

Mingru is dressed in red, different from the plain and pure in the past, and is thrillingly beautiful and beautiful.

"You're here." Mingru didn't look up, and after hearing the footsteps, he said.

Xia Chengdao found a place for himself to sit down, he spread his legs wantonly, turned his head to Xiang Mingru and said, "What's the matter with this and separation, do you want me to throw Xiu Shu in your face?" ”

"You just slap Xiushu in the face and forget it." Mingru looked up and glanced at him. Passionate about e-books

Immediately, a piece of paper fell lightly, and Xia Chengdao opened it to see that something was more and more wrong.

This piece of paper can also be regarded as a half-copy of the letter of resignation, which is densely filled with words, all of which are written by Mingru.

What is written on the paper is all some requirements after the separation.

Including the dowry she brought in before, she must be returned exactly a penny.

Xia Xu needs to hold a grand funeral again, and move out of the Xia family's genealogy and change his name to Mingxu.

If this kind of request is said, I am afraid that I will be laughed at for a long time, and this kind of unreasonable request, if I agree, it is a debasement of my identity.

Xia Chengdao likes face, which is from Xia Huaiqing. He hastily read the letter of resignation and said, "Some of the conditions you opened were too much. ”

The direction is very clear, and the excessive conditions he said are undoubtedly the two above.

"What about going too far, you want me to delete these two conditions, right?" Mingru's perception has always been keen.

"It's not that you want to let it, but you have to delete these two conditions." Xia Chengdao was sonorous and powerful, "This is a great disadvantage to Xiahou Mansion. But if you insist on keeping these two conditions, then you will have to discuss this matter again. ”

Look, this can't be said, so take the matter of harmony and separation as a gun. Once or twice, it may still have some effect, but after a long time and many times, this sentence seems ridiculous.

"I didn't come to you today to discuss this matter with you. All I need you to do is press your handprint on this paper and get out of this door. Mingru was unmoved.

Xia Chengdao's two rows of teeth had already grinded out, and he slammed one hand on the table: "Do you think I really dare not give up this and leave?" ”

Mingru faced Xia Chengdao, and her smile revealed carelessness: "Whether you dare or not, only you know in your heart." If you really had that much courage, you wouldn't talk to me here, unless you really have a weak heart. ”

She said as she began to fiddle with her nails.

Xia Chengdao was so hard for a while, and immediately deflated like a popped balloon, with a dazed look on his face.

"I'll sign it." He uttered the words in a slurping voice.

The red handprints pressed against the white rice paper are particularly eye-catching.

Mingru happily put away this piece of rice paper, put it in his big sleeve casually, and finally raised a somewhat knowing smile on his face: "You are really an acquaintance." ”

Xia Chengdao didn't respond, and his face was already flushed.

No matter how you say this, he has the upper hand, and if someone accidentally spreads it, then the result can be seen.

The uneasiness had been with him for a long time.

Mingru is a trustworthy person, and this matter has not been mentioned to anyone, except for a few acquaintances, none of them know.

In recent days, the Duke of Protector has begun to defend Xia Huaiqing in the imperial court, although it is only a few words, but this momentum has risen, and it is a little out of control.

The emperor had already been angry with Ouyang Huaiyu and the two of them, and he knew in his heart what was going on, and he pretended to be deaf and dumb and didn't know.

Xiahou Mansion came back to life overnight, and some people who were blushing secretly wondered if there was anything strange in their hearts, but these things were not good, and they would just stop muttering a few words in their hearts when they put them on the table.

Xia Huaiqing began to be like a fish in water in the officialdom again, and a few scattered cronies who had already left began to tie him up again, and he was in the limelight again for a while.

A few days later, it's the Lantern Festival.

Although there was no banquet in the palace, the people were very lively.
