For a time, the Yongding Marquis Mansion was crowded with people, and the atmosphere was indescribably depressing and solemn.
The elders of the Liu family all looked stiff. They had no idea what was going on. The guards of Pingnan Palace suddenly escorted them over, but now they said that they wanted them to be witnesses to reconcile the prince and his wife? !
"Prince Liu, the letter of departure has been drawn up, sign it!"
At this time, Liu Chengyu's face turned pale, and he really couldn't figure out why things turned into the current situation.
King Pingnan spoke expressionlessly, while Mrs. Liu smiled awkwardly, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking frankly, this divorce is a matter between our Xia and Liu families, and the two children themselves. We should be allowed to discuss it privately..."
"Mrs. Hou thinks this king is meddling in other people's business?"
King Pingnan stared, and Mrs. Liu was so frightened that she choked. She looked at Liu Chengyu next to her with confusion. She really didn't know what happened. How did she provoke King Pingnan and the others?
"I have accepted Yunxian as my adopted daughter. General Xia is no longer here. As my adopted father, I should seek justice for her!" What he meant was that this was no longer a matter between the Xia and Liu families. He takes care of business!
The old princess's eyes were red at the moment and she held Xia Yunxian's hand tightly, "My child, why are you suffering? A clear lotus has to fight fiercely in the mud. I feel sorry for you!"
Her words were full of profound meaning. After thinking about it carefully, she already understood Xia Yunxian's thoughts.
Maybe Jiang Ruyan was given to Liu Chengshan not for the sake of the Liu family, but just to punish that bitch.
She also entered the Hou Mansion and became Liu Chengshan's concubine. This was a humiliation and completely shattered her dream!
The old princess felt that if this happened to her, she would not let Jiang Ruyan die easily. Otherwise, why would she be so angry?
She also knew that in the past, Xia Yunxian regarded the twins as her own, and the old princess was heartbroken. She did not want to imagine that when this child knew that the adopted son and daughter she had raised with great care were actually the bastards who were treated secretly by the couple. , how heartbreaking it must be!
How could she not complain when her sincerity was trampled on?
Xia Yunxian lowered her head, knowing that nothing could be hidden from the old princess.
"Yunxian also thought about settling the grudges with his sword, but..." By killing Jiang Ruyan, the grudges between them were settled.
But there are many things involved, including her father's hatred and the Xia family's hatred.
That's not something that can be solved with just one life.
As long as Jiang Ruyan is still alive, even if she is still panting like a dog, that is Liu Chengyu's handle!
Don't underestimate such a little mistake, sometimes just a small chess piece can turn the entire game around.
"No matter what you are hiding in your heart, you can't stay in the Liu family any longer!" The old princess advised her with a serious expression for the first time. Such a smoky place can really affect a person's mood.
"This marriage was arranged by my father, Marquis Yongding. The Xia family wanted to repay his kindness, so they let Yunxian marry me."
Liu Chengyu pursed his lips and did not look into King Pingnan's eyes.
"Yes, yes, do you want the Xia family to be accused of injustice?" Mrs. Liu agreed repeatedly, then heard a sneer coming from outside the door, "A bunch of hypocritical villains, my eldest sister has been married to the Hou Mansion all these years. I’ve cleaned up so much mess for you, my kindness has been repaid long ago!”
Xia Yunhan suddenly appeared in front of everyone. As soon as he woke up from the restaurant, he heard that King Pingnan had summoned the elders of their two families to the Hou Mansion, and he hurried over immediately.
"How can it be calculated like this? It's not a black and white transaction. Now that she has become a member of the Liu family, this kindness must be repaid for the rest of her life!"
Mrs. Liu frowned and felt confident, but Xia Yunhan immediately smiled, "Okay, don't embarrass my eldest sister, let me repay this kindness for the rest of my life! Today's Li Shu must be signed!"
Xia Yunxian looked deeply at the young man standing in front of her, and suddenly felt that the younger brother who had been sheltered under her wings had really grown up!
He seemed to have turned into a big tree that could shelter her from the wind and rain, and was no longer the child who had her to worry about everything.
Seeing Xia Yunhan's tough attitude, Liu Chengyu spoke again, "I am very grateful to Yunxian for her efforts over the years, so I want to spend the rest of my life loving her and repaying her sincerity."
"Moreover, my father, Marquis Yongding, died in defeat for his country. I also wanted to fulfill his last wish. If we reconcile, wouldn't I become an unkind and unfilial person?"
Xia Yunhan was extremely angry, "You are really eloquent. What do you mean, Your Majesty, our Xia family is forcing you to be an unworthy descendant?"
When the elders of the Xia family heard this, they shook their heads. If they hadn't thought about the friendship with Marquis Yongding back then, they would have scolded him for being so shameless!
"How could such an upright man as the Marquis give birth to you like this..." Wang Pingnan's face was livid. He knew that he should not argue with the younger generation, but the Liu family's shamelessness really made him indignant.
The old princess who had been protecting Xia Yunxian looked at this scene and smiled coldly, "The Marquis showed kindness back then because he cherished General Xia. He was a talent and worthy of friendship! But you, relying on his accumulated virtues , come to bully a weak woman!"
"If Prince Liu was truly filial, how could he support his wife, bring a bastard of unknown origin into the house, and make Unzen suffer all the humiliation?"
The old princess's words made the elders of the Liu family couldn't help but lower their heads in shame. But after hearing the second half of the sentence, they all raised their heads in confusion, what kind of outer room?
Isn't it Liu Chengshan who keeps an outside room?
Mrs. Liu's heart skipped a beat. Originally, Jiang Ruyan was taken into the second room as a concubine. She thought the matter was settled, but she never thought that she would be found out again!
But how did the old princess know?
"Do you still want to hide it?" King Pingnan's sharp eyes fell on Liu Chengyu. His eyes seemed to say that if you don't want the scandalous things he did to be exposed to the world, it's best not to test your patience.
There is also Liu Chengshan’s dirty thoughts, and King Pingnan doesn’t even bother to tell them!
"Is there any misunderstanding in this?" The head of the Liu family couldn't help but ask. Liu Chengyu saw King Pingnan's sharp eyes falling on him. He was on pins and needles, and then he looked at Xia Yunxian.
"Yunxian, we are husband and wife. Let's not mention the misunderstandings in the past. I, Liu Chengyu, swear to heaven that everything will go well with you from now on. Let's start over, okay?"
He spoke softly, with a pleading look in his eyes.
Liu Chengyu had expectations in his heart. He had already humbled her like this, given her face in front of everyone, and promised to treat her well. She should be relieved by this, right?
She had known about Jiang Ruyan for a long time, and if she couldn't accept it, she wouldn't have endured it until now.
She must have feelings for him.
"Since everything goes well for me, then, Your Majesty, please sign this and leave the book."
