  In the Xie Manor.

  Lan Xin entered Xie Yun’s study and reported, “After fifth miss left us, she first went to the Qiao family’s ancestral grave. After staying in the ancestral grave for about 25 minutes, she returned to marquis an Yuan’s manor. She even instructed the secret guards not to allow our people to follow her in.”


  “Master, fifth miss originally thought that it would be better to just die. I’m afraid that she won’t be willing if you don’t give her the antidote and force her to keep the child.”


  Xie Yun said slowly, “She will. She has already sacrificed so much to survive. Why would she give up now? Moreover…… she was able to keep Nichang back then. It’s not like she won’t keep the child now.”


  Lan Xin mumbled, “Master, I feel that your actions seem a little despicable.”


  Xie Yun glared at Lan Xin. It was fine if it was despicable, but if he could have two children, why not?

  As for Qiao ruoyi, he had already felt guilty towards her. He didn’t care if the guilt went up a notch or not.

  She liked those famous paintings and ancient books. As long as she married into the Xie family, she would have everything. It could be considered as making up for the debt she owed her.

  Lan Xin asked again, “Aren’t you afraid that after the Qiao family finds out about this, they will stand up for fifth young miss? Especially when the Empress finds out. She will definitely stand up for fifth young miss.”


  “That would be my wish,”Xie Yun said slowly.

  Lan Xin did not understand what her master meant, but she also felt that her master had gone too far in this matter.

  The next day, Qiao Ruoyi applied for half a month’s leave and did not go to court.

  Fu Lu entered Qiao Ruoyi’s Courtyard to visit. When he saw Qiao ruoyi lying on the bed with a pale face, he was shocked, “Ruoyi, what’s wrong with you?”


  Qiao ruoyi said, “I’m so stupid, so stupid. I want to kill him! Kill him and get it over with. I can also go see Luo Wei and aunt.

  “But I can’t bear to part with Niching. I don’t want Niching to be embarrassed when she grows up and finds out that her mother killed her father……”


  Fu Lu hugged Qiao ruoyi and said, “What happened? How did Xie Yun Bully You? Your brother and I will help you get revenge. Even if we can’t get revenge, there’s still the Empress and His Majesty. The Empress loves you so much……”


  Qiao ruoyi sobbed and told Fu Lu about Xie Yun scheming against her for being pregnant. “I don’t know what to do now. I Won’t give birth to his child!”


  Fu Lu comforted qiao ruoyi softly, “Don’t be anxious. If you enter the palace with me, the Empress will definitely seek justice for you. Xie Yun said that if he doesn’t save you in the future, we will tie him up and force him to be a bloody man!”


  “You are pregnant now. You really shouldn’t cry so sadly.”


  Qiao ruoyi wiped her tears and said, “Okay, enter the palace.”


  After Fu Lu and Qiao Ruoyi went out, they coincidentally met Xie Yun.

  When Fu Lu saw Xie Yun, he said angrily, “You still dare to come to my Qiao Residence?”


  Xie Yun said, “I came to the Qiao residence today to propose marriage. Since Ruoyi is pregnant with my child, she should marry into my xie family as soon as possible.”


  Qiao ruoyi held her handkerchief tightly and said, “Don’t even think about it. I will not keep this child. When I come back from the palace, I will abort the child!”


  Xie Yun sneered and said, “Qiao ruoyi, you are now twenty-two years old. At this age, you still have to go to the palace crying and complaining to your sister after something happened?”


  Fu Lu said, “Ruoyi, don’t listen to his nonsense.”


  Xie Yun walked to Qiao Ruoyi’s ear and said softly, “The Empress Values Friendship and loyalty. If you go and beg her, she will naturally stand up for you. But have you ever thought about your sister?

  Why have there been very few civil officials who went against the Qiao family this year? The Xie family, which all the scholars in the world yearn for, once married to the Qiao family, the position of the Empress and the crown prince will be more stable.”


  Fu Lu spat, “Ruoyi, don’t listen to his nonsense. With His Majesty’s position in the Empress and crown prince is very stable, we don’t Need Xie Yun’s help. Our Qiao family also doesn’t lack marriage with the Xie family.”


  Xie Yun said, “Qiao Ruoyi, why don’t you carefully think about how the Qiao Family Treats You, how the Marquise treats you as a daughter-in-law, how your sister treats you. If you go to the palace and complain, the Empress will naturally help you.

  But what about you? What have you done for the Empress?”


  “The Empress just came to Chang ‘an not long ago and gave a rare ginseng to your aunt to extend her life. The emperor’s kindness is as thin as paper.

  In the past year, those civil officials have stopped writing memorials for the acceptance of the harem. But what if in another five years, when your sister’s appearance is no longer the same, all the officials ask the emperor to accept the harem. When the emperor is faced with those young and beautiful women……, could he still be as focused as he was today?

  Since ancient times, how many emperors had not been jealous of the Crown Prince until they were middle-aged?

  The Qin emperor and the Han and the Wu all wished to remain young for a thousand years. Just as the princess had said, the Empress’position was now stable. It was true that the emperor was present, but the heart of the emperor was difficult to predict. In the future, when the Emperor met a woman who was even more moved, what would happen to your sister?

  “The Qiao and Xie families will be united by marriage. I believe that the Emperor will definitely not have the intention of abolishing the Empress!”


  Fu Lu frowned and said, “What nonsense are you talking about? Everyone knows that His Majesty is deeply in love with the empress. Even in another five years, the empress will still be more beautiful than those young ladies. Ruo Yi, ignore him.”


  Xie Yun said to Qiao ruo yi, “Let’s not talk about your consideration for the Qiao family, why don’t you think about Nichang? Nichang is still young now, but what if the marriage is to be decided in ten years? “The status of the Xie family’s eldest daughter is different from the status of the Qiao family’s cousin.”


  Xie Yun saw that Qiao Ruoyi was a little relaxed and said, “No matter what, it’s a good deal for you to marry me. Other than the above, the Xie family has everything you like. The books you want will be yours in the future.

  “You don’t have to sell your share of the house to buy them in the Ten Thousand Scrolls House. After becoming the Xie family’s mistress, you’ll have an endless amount of silver.”


  When Fu Lu heard this, he said, “That sounds like human talk. Ruoyi, you can marry him and spend all the silver in the Xie family before you divorce him!”


  Xie Yun said to Qiao ruoyi, “I believe you know how to choose this deal?”


  Qiao Ruoyi glared at Xie Yun. “It’s fine if you want me to marry you, but I have three requirements. First, you must have a tattoo right now. I will tattoo a mole on your body!”


  Xie Yun frowned and thought for a while before finally agreeing. It was just a small mole. It was impossible to see it without looking carefully.

  “The second requirement is that you and I don’t have to hold a big wedding ceremony, nor do we have to go back to Jiangnan to hold it. We just have to treat our relatives and friends to a wedding banquet in Chang ‘an. Also, I’m married for the second time, so we have to hold a wedding banquet at noon.”


  Xie Yun frowned and said, “You’re going too far.”


  How could the Xie family keep such a low profile when they were marrying the matriarch? Moreover, they were holding a wedding banquet at noon. Moreover, there were many second marriages in Chang ‘an. Not many of them were held at noon, and they were all married at dusk.

  Qiao ruoyi then said the third request, “Third, Nichang will never believe Xie. She’s Luo Wei’s daughter, so her surname must be Qiao!”


  Xie Yun frowned and said, “I can’t agree to this request of yours. Aren’t you going too far?”


  Qiao ruoyi said, “You said it yourself back then. I, a concubine’s daughter, am not worthy of your position as Madam Xie. Back then, you didn’t want Nichang first. Why are you saying it’s going too far now?”
