Selling wife for fame? Kick out the scumbag and marry the new emperor to enjoy the harem of favors

Chapter 18 People always need to grow
"When I heard the news of your entry into the palace, I immediately went to find your father and asked him what was going on. Your father lied to me, saying that you were disgusted with Wu Que and the Weiyuan Marquisate because you had no good future, so you tried to… tried to take the initiative to get close to the emperor. But I naturally didn't believe it. What kind of character do I have in my daughter? I don't know it yet."

Talking about these things, Yang, who is usually good-tempered, also showed a little anger on her face.

"He refused to tell the truth, and I felt that something was seriously wrong. I threatened to kill him, and in the end he told me everything."

Having said this, Yang took Xie Jiu's hand, her eyes full of heartache.

"I've been married to your father for so many years, and he's never taken a concubine. He said he was born out of wedlock, and it wasn't easy for him to get to where he is today, to become the head of the Xie family. So he didn't want his children to suffer the same fate as him. Later, he did just that, so I really think he's a good man."

"After your brother and you were born, he dedicated himself to raising your brother and treated you with great affection. I felt more and more that I had married the right person. Even though he was always strict and controlled me, I had no complaints. But now I know that the reason he didn't care about the number of children or concubines he had was because he only cared about himself, his power, and his own interests. For this, he would sacrifice everything!"

Speaking of this, Yang thought of her son Xie Wei, who was now working and gaining experience in another place, and she couldn't help but hold Xie Jiu's hand even tighter.

"If your brother were here, he would definitely be able to stop your father. Unfortunately, he hasn't returned since your wedding. Ultimately, it's all because of Mother."

When talking about his brother, a gentle figure like jade emerged in Xie Jiu's mind. For a moment, he felt dazed and emotional.

When her brother insisted on taking his wife, sister-in-law and two children out of the capital to take up a post in Lizhou, she was completely puzzled.

Many people wanted to stay in the capital, but unfortunately they couldn't. Xie Wei just wanted to leave. For this, Xie Mingshen got very angry, but in the end he failed to keep him.

Xie Jiu also tried to persuade him, but Xie Wei only said that he did not want to live completely under the protection of his father. He also wanted to go out and do some practical work and make some political achievements of his own. Xie Jiu felt that his brother was ambitious and admired him very much.

When she got married, Xie Wei came back to see her and said, "It's good to be married."

Thinking about it now, I am afraid that my brother's ideological and political views were increasingly different from my father's, and he had no choice but to leave.

The sentence "It's better to get married" should be about thinking that she is a woman and should obey her husband after marriage. She can leave the Xie family, but she is a son and there is no way she can get rid of all this. No matter how far away or how long she hides, she will eventually come back.

Thinking of this, Xie Jiu couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Even after getting married, she could not escape from it, and even fell into a trap set by her husband's family and her own family, which forced her to death once.

Now that I have started over again, although I have saved my life, I am still walking the path I had to choose.

"Mom, Dad asked you to come here to find out what the emperor thinks." Xie Jiu put away his thoughts and asked.

She no longer wanted to bother thinking about the things in the past that could not be changed. What mattered was to seize the present.

Yang nodded. "Last time, you asked Chunrong to secretly pass on the message to him. He did as you asked. The emperor seemed very satisfied with his actions, but he is still uneasy and wants to ask you for confirmation."

Hearing this, Xie Jiu couldn't help but sneer on his face, and then he spoke.

"Then tell him not to worry too much. The Emperor treats me very well now. I will speak to the Emperor and make him change his mind about him. However, this also requires him to listen to me and cooperate well."

"Are you really going to help him?" Yang frowned. "Mother has made up her mind. When I go back today, I will tell him that you are angry and disappointed with us and refuse to help."

"Mom, you are confused. I have already sent a message to Dad before. He asked you to come because he was sure of my attitude." Xie Jiu reminded helplessly.

Yang was married when Xie Mingshen was still a nobody, so her family was not prominent. She was only famous for her beauty. As the youngest daughter in her family, she was loved and cherished since childhood and had everything she wanted.

After marrying in, Xie Mingshen was not interested in women, never took concubines, and never served his parents-in-law. It was not her turn when they were young, but later Xie Mingshen became the power center of the Xie family. Her status rose, and no one dared to make trouble for her, so she really didn't have to worry about it at all.

Even at her age, Yang Shi still had no scheming thoughts and a gentle personality. Therefore, Xie Jiu no longer expected his mother to have any good ideas and directly took the initiative to make arrangements.

After hearing this, Yang couldn't help but look surprised, "Jiu'er, how could you have such tricks?"

"Mom, people always grow up." Xie Jiu looked at her seriously, "You must grow up too, otherwise how can you protect yourself and the people you want to protect?"

These words touched Yang's heart. Her face became serious for a moment, and she frowned and nodded.

But she still couldn't bear it, and raised her hand to stroke Xie Jiu's cheek, "Jiu'er, do you really have to go this way? Wu Que is not a good person, but being with the emperor is like being with a tiger, it is just as dangerous."

Xie Jiu said nothing, just looked at her.

Yang understood in her heart.

He sighed and said no more.

When leaving Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, Yang was still full of worry, but she was powerless to change anything. The only thing she could do to help Xie Jiu was to do as Xie Jiu said.

So when she returned to the Xie family, Yang relayed everything that Xie Jiu had taught her to Xie Mingshen.

"Did she really say that?" Xie Mingshen stared at Yang with sharp eyes.

Yang nodded. "Yes, Jiuer said that she has thought it through. The Wu family will be finished sooner or later. She was married to Wu Que. Even if they divorced and got rid of the Wu family, who would dare to marry her? Only the emperor. She took the initiative to enter the palace. In the eyes of the emperor, she is a member of the Xie family and has nothing to do with the Wu family. In the future, if she wants to gain a foothold in the palace, she will have to rely on her family. She doesn't blame you. Jiuer said that you have loved her and raised her for so many years, and she should do something for the family."

Perhaps these words were consistent with what Xie Mingshen believed in his heart, or perhaps it was because Yang was always honest and would not lie to him. After hearing this, Xie Mingshen smiled with satisfaction.

"Good girl, I have raised her with luxury all these years, and it has not been in vain."

Yang nodded, pretending to be relieved. "That's right. We are a family, how can we really be separated?"

"Ah."

Xie Mingshen nodded, but then his face showed some thought.

"But Jiu'er has been married before. Although remarrying after a divorce is not uncommon, I'm afraid that the emperor will be curious about her now and won't despise her. But in the future, when time passes, he will think of her past and take it to heart. If she already has a legitimate status by then, it will be fine. If she doesn't, it will be bad. Everything will be in vain."

"Master, what are your plans for saying this?" Yang became alert and asked immediately.

Xie Mingshen narrowed his eyes. "Before, I didn't dare to send a girl from the Xie family to the palace because I was afraid that the emperor would not accept her. I wanted to send Jiuer because everything was handled by Wu Que and had nothing to do with me. But now that Jiuer is by the emperor's side and can give a few words of advice, it will be easier to send someone. I want to pick a good one from my family and send it to the palace."

"With the sisters at home taking care of each other, Jiuer won't be so alone." Xie Mingshen turned the jade plate fingers on his hand, his eyes full of calculation, "You should find time to talk to her about this matter. You two mother and daughter will be easier to talk to."

When he said this, he already looked like he was in control of everything, and he didn't notice that his wife Yang's eyes were filled with deep resentment.

After returning to her room, Yang ordered someone to close the door, and the gentleness on her face disappeared, replaced by a fierceness she had never had before.

"Jiu'er has already had such a hard time, and he still schemes and uses her to make things difficult for her. I will never allow him to harm my child again!"
