After being read into his mind, he became the beloved uncle of the country.

Chapter 76 Not taking the initiative

"Zian, is the character of the number one scholar Zheng Siqing really as bad as the rumors say?"

Emperor Xihe suddenly spoke and asked Xie Zian.

Xie Zian pondered for a moment and said, "Brother-in-law, how do you want me to answer this question?"

"Answer whatever you want!"

Emperor Xihe waved his hands calmly, sat down on the chair in the study room, and motioned for Xie Zian to speak.

"I actually don't know much about the No. 1 Scholar. I can only tell you what I saw and heard in Liucheng."

"Initially, the marriage contract between the Shen and Zheng families came from the old man of the two families, that is, Zheng Siqin's grandfather and my fiancée's grandfather."

"Later, the Zheng family fell into decline, and the Shen family seemed to intend to dissolve the engagement, but I don't know why it was not dissolved in the end. The three houses of the Shen family were very generous, as were the annual ceremonial exchanges and so on."

"It wasn't until Zheng Siqin won the top prize in high school and Shen Shen, the head of the Shen family, came to congratulate him, but the top pick's mother, Mrs. Zheng, blocked the door. The marriage between the two families was considered to have broken up."

"Prince Zheng had already had the idea of breaking off the engagement before Zheng Siqing returned to Liucheng. She even wanted to let the Shen family directly die of illness of the third concubine, who is also my fiancée. !”

When Xie Zian said this, the expressions of Emperor Xihe and Xie Zixian changed, and they had the same idea, how vicious!

Just for the sake of his son's reputation, he would force a completely innocent girl to death.

"How dare she?"

Xie Zixian was very curious.

"Now we have to talk about Prince Zheng's support!"

Xie Zian smiled slightly, "First of all, my son is the number one scholar and is going to enter the Hanlin Academy. His future is bright!"

"Secondly, if my guess is correct, Prince Zheng has received a letter from the Number One Scholar, stating that he has a lifelong love affair with the lady of the current imperial palace. This is her second source of support!"

"Third, she is sure that the Shen family knows how to make choices and will not become enemies of the Zheng family for the sake of a woman who is destined to marry outside."

"After all, although the Shen family is pretty good in Liucheng, they are just an ordinary family after all, with only a small income."

"It has been said since ancient times that the people do not fight with the officials, but the officials protect each other!"

"Of course, there is another point. I don't know why my fiancée is not liked by my parents in the Shen family."

"My father-in-law used to be quite talented, but later he became addicted to drinking and debauchery and wasted his life."

"My mother-in-law is devoted to teaching her two twin sons."

"In this case, how can the Shen family dare to quarrel with the Zheng family?"

Emperor Xihe had basically understood everything, and he became more and more curious, "You took action?"

"no!"

Xie Zian shrugged and spread his hands, "At that time, I hadn't arrived in Liucheng yet!"

"I guess it was my wife who broke the situation herself!"

"How to break the situation?"

Xie Zixian is also curious.

After listening to everything, she put herself in Shen Yunyao's position and found that she was helpless. This world is too harsh on women. You have all kinds of abilities, but you can only be trapped in a small space in the back house.

How can a woman in a boudoir break the situation if she can't leave the front door or take another step forward?

"I'm not too sure either."

"All I know is that the head of the Shen family came to the Zheng family with grief and indignation and told everything about what Prince Zheng had done. Public opinion in Liucheng instantly sided with the Shen family."

"If it hadn't been for the fact that the number one scholar, Zheng Siqian, had returned to Liucheng, I'm afraid that Prince Zheng's current fate would have been very bad!"

Is not this nonsensical?

If such a vicious woman's true identity is exposed, if the people incite her to beat her to death on the spot, the government will have no choice but to make it a big deal and turn it into a trivial matter. The law will not hold the public accountable!

"After that, my mother-in-law came back and went to the Zheng family again!"

"Let the Zheng family pay for it!"

"Brother-in-law, you all should know what happens next, so I won't go into details!"

After Xie Zian finished speaking, he sat there quietly without expressing his views.

How about Zheng Siqing?

He actually didn't say much about it, but it completely showed his disdain for this person. "In this case, the character of the No. 1 Scholar is indeed questionable!"

"I have a marriage contract at home, but I am trying to reach a new height in the capital."

"Queen, what do you think?"

When Emperor Xihe said this, he was actually planning to ask Xie Zixian if he needed to step forward to dissolve the marriage between Xie Yanwan and Zheng Siqian.

"Your Majesty, the marriage contract between the Shen and Zheng families has been in dispute for a long time. The cancellation of the engagement is a good thing for both families."

"Prince Zheng is very ambitious. How can a son ignore his mother's wishes?"

"This matter does not mean that the No. 1 Scholar's character is lacking!"

Xie Zixian understood the emperor's kindness, but politely refused.

She could see her niece's thoughts too clearly.

I have always wanted to be strong since I was a child, and I have always dreamed of marrying a happy man. If they ruined this marriage like this, I am afraid that instead of being grateful to them, my niece will resent them, and even break ties with Zheng Sizhen and have sex with her. Something happened that ruined the Xie family tradition.

Therefore, even if the engagement was to be terminated, the girl would have to propose it herself.

Otherwise, even if she knew there was a fire pit in front of her and wanted to jump, Xie Zixian would not stop her.

"Brother-in-law, I think what my sister is saying is reasonable, but my little family is angry!"

Xie Zian said in a very shameless manner.

"Okay, since you two said so, then I won't care about this matter!"

As soon as Xihedi heard what the siblings said, he took advantage of the situation and spoke.

Originally, in order to break off this marriage, one had to first defeat Zheng Siqian's number one scholar, and this number one scholar was appointed by his imperial pen, which was a slap in the face.

But since both siblings had this attitude, he was happy to save his face.

As for the future, let’s talk about it later!

The three of them had just finished talking when Xie Zizheng and Cui came hand in hand.

"I have met His Majesty!"

"Brother and sister-in-law are free of charge!"

"I only have relatives today!"

"I came back with the queen to visit her!"

Emperor Xihe stopped Xie Zizheng and Cui who were about to give him a gift, and explained their intention with a smile.

He and Xie Zixian came to the Xie family. They first met with a group of old men from the Xie family, and then went to Xie Zian's place to investigate.

I originally thought about going back to look for Xie Zizheng, but unexpectedly Xie Zizheng came over first.

"Your Majesty, there is a difference between superiority and inferiority!"

Xie Zizheng spoke sternly.

"Brother, since you said that, what I mean is that regardless of your status today, can you accept the order?"

"I...accept the order!"

Xie Zizheng's expression was almost unbearable due to Emperor Xihe's hand.

However, the words were his.

Emperor Xihe used his status as emperor to suppress him, what could he do?

This is simply incomprehensible.

When Mrs. Cui saw this, she smiled and said, "Sister, brother-in-law, you have to listen to my sister-in-law's arrangements today!"

"Yes, yes, today, we both will obey my sister-in-law's orders!"

Xie Zixian smiled and agreed.
