The subtle fragrance of cotton needles

"Madam, what you said is not right. Yan'er was born to the principal wife. Even if I make the second concubine my principal wife, my two daughters are still the children of the second wife. How can they compare?" Xia Liu's face froze, then returned to normal.

Xia Pinxiang was about to speak when she was stopped by Mo Yuyang.

Mo Yuyang glared at Xia Pinxiang.

At this time, don't say too much!

Xia Pinxiang endured it reluctantly.

"What's more, Yan'er is now engaged to His Royal Highness Prince Luo. When she gets married in the future, she will of course marry out of the Xia Mansion." At this point, Xia Liu deliberately paused and glanced at Tu Ling's face. "If Yan'er marries out of Madam's family, what will happen?"

Tu Ling replied calmly: "Sir Shangshu, don't forget that the laws of Darong stipulate that if the parents divorce, the child has the right to choose which parent to follow."

Mo Yuyang had specially found someone who was familiar with the law to come to Xia Liu and explained all the matters concerning the divorce clearly. Xia Liu had already prepared her excuses.

"Although this is true, this law only applies to underage children. Yan'er has already reached the age of marriage and is an adult, so she is not restricted by this law."

Tu Ling obviously didn't expect Xia Liu to find this explanation, and was speechless for a moment.

Tu Song spoke up at this time: "According to what the Minister said, Yan'er has reached the age of marriage, so what should she do? I'm afraid she will have more power. What do you think, Lord Hu?"

Hu Yuan was called, thought for a moment, and nodded: "The law does say that children can choose which parent to follow, but the third young lady has already reached the age of marriage and is not bound by this rule. She can naturally make her own choice."

"Then Lord Hu, does the law say that a woman must stay in her parents' home when she gets married?" Xia Liu was not worried about Tu Song's words, he had more tricks.

"This..." Hu Yuan hesitated for a moment. "Although the law does not have a clear stipulation, there has indeed been no precedent for a woman to marry in her mother's family since ancient times."

"That being said, if Yan'er wants to leave with Madam, her marriage with His Royal Highness Prince Luo may not be possible." Xia Liu shook her head regretfully, as if she really felt sorry.

"Yan'er's reputation is fine, but we can't afford the reputation of His Royal Highness Prince Luo." Xia Liu sighed and spread out his hands, looking regretful.

Xia Liu was extremely unhappy when Xia Yanxiang was born. If Xia Yanxiang was not his only legitimate daughter and if they could have a marriage as a bargain, Xia Liu would have found a way to kill Xia Yanxiang long ago.

Even though the Right Prime Minister looks like he loves Xia Yanxiang very much, he actually has the same idea as Xia Liu!

The Right Prime Minister was always cautious and strictly selected people from his own family to serve as officials in the capital, which resulted in Xia Yanxiang being the only Tu woman in the capital.

Xia Yanxiang's marriage was naturally not immune from being plotted against!

Xia Liu is not a good person, so could it be that Tu Song is? !

Xia Yanxiang is currently engaged to Prince Luo, and the Right Prime Minister has always been against Prince Yuan's side. If Xia Yanxiang loses this marriage, how will the Tu family gain a foothold in the capital in the future!

Tu Song thought for a moment and understood what Xia Liu meant. He put down the teacup in his hand and said, "I understand what the Minister means. We have already informed His Royal Highness Prince Luo. If there is anything, we will take care of it. Please don't worry about it."

"Right Prime Minister, you are too kind. Yan'er is my child, so of course I have to care for her." Then, Xia Liu delivered a heavy blow, "Besides, as a father, you should have more power to keep the child than the uncle, right?"

Now Xia Liu is Xia Yanxiang's father, but Xia Liu never said Tu Song was unworthy of her before.

"Xia Liu, what do you mean now?" Before Tu Song could speak again, Shen had already started to explode, "Why didn't you jump out and offer to raise Yan'er yourself when she was being raised?! Now you know that you are Yan'er's father?!"

"Yan'er was given in marriage to Prince Luo. You were so unhappy at first that you even laid hands on Yan'er. Are you worthy of being Yan'er's father?!"

"Sister-in-law, you have to have evidence for what you say. Yan'er is the only legitimate daughter of the Xia family. It is a blessing for her to marry His Royal Highness Prince Luo in her previous life. As a father, how could I possibly lay hands on my own daughter?"

Xia Yanxiang was being watched at home by Tu Xiao, and she paced back and forth anxiously.

This was the first time Xia Yanxiang had been so anxious and angry since her rebirth.

Xia Yanxiang always had a bad feeling in her heart. Even Anzhi and Tinglan could see Xia Yanxiang's anxiety and couldn't help asking, "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

Xia Yanxiang just shook her head and said nothing.

"Miss, don't worry! With your uncle here, everything will be fine. Madam's divorce will be smooth this time." An Zhi walked to Xia Yanxiang and spoke to her while leaning sideways.

Xia Yanxiang still couldn't calm down. She took two steps on the spot, turned around and immediately walked out of the house.

"Hey, miss!"

Tu Xiao just came back from outside the mansion and happened to run into Xia Yanxiang on the way from the front yard to the back yard: "Sister Yanxiang, where are you going?"

"Cousin, I have to go back." It was the first time that Xia Yanxiang showed such anxiety in front of Tu Xiao.

Tu Xiao still remembered what Tu Song and Shen had told him before they left: remember not to let Sister Yanxiang go to the Xia Mansion, but seeing that Sister Yanxiang was so anxious, Tu Xiao remained silent.

"Brother." Xia Yanxiang's eyes turned red, and she called Tu Xiao the same name she had used when she was a child, "Let me go, I want to help my mother."

Tu Xiao looked into Xia Yanxiang's eyes and couldn't say no. He gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go with you."

"Thank you brother!"

Xia Yanxiang was about to leave when she suddenly remembered that Mo Yuyang should have also gone to the Xia Mansion, which was a big trouble.

It is not difficult to defeat Xia Liu and Yang Jin, but Mo Fuyang is a tricky person. It is absolutely impossible to solve this problem easily if Mo Fuyang just sits there.

"Sister Yanxiang?" Tu Xiao was prepared to be scolded by his parents, but Xia Yanxiang just stood there, not knowing what he was thinking.

"It's not enough. We alone are not enough." Xia Yanxiang stood there muttering for a long time, as if she was whispering, before she finally made up her mind.

"Brother..." Although she had made up her mind, Xia Yanxiang was still hesitant. If she didn't go, how could she get Liu Ying and her son out?

This is the only chance!

"What's wrong?" Tu Xiao was still waiting for Xia Yanxiang's reply. "It should still be in time for us to go over now."

"No, brother, I can't go." Xia Yanxiang was anxious but still rational. "You can't go either."

"Why?" Tu Xiao didn't understand why Xia Yanxiang was so anxious and said she couldn't go.

Xia Yanxiang shook her head and bit her lip, her eyes wandering, and then she said to Tu Xiao: "Brother, we won't go, but we can't leave mother and uncle there alone. We can't go, but someone can."

"Who?"
