Get out of your vicious mother's house, and make a fortune with your husband to become a prince

Chapter 340

The person who walked out from behind the screen was already Zhou Qian.

Xue Qing looked at Zhou Qian who came out and bowed slightly: "Greetings, the eldest prince."

Zhou Qian looked at Xue Qing who was bowing, and said gently: "No need to bow."

After sitting down, he looked at Xue Qing and said, "You and I are an engaged couple, so it's okay for us to meet each other often."

Xue Qing looked at Zhou Qian's condescending attitude and felt particularly unhappy: "Your Highness, the one you are engaged to is not me, but Xia Xuelian."

Zhou Qian raised his lips; "She is the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo."

Xue Qing: "You did everything you could to get people to find out Xia Xuelian's true identity, just to make me return to the Xue family and marry you!"

"Yes, I will not marry a country girl"

"Zhou Qian, I won't marry you"

Zhou Qian hid the smile on his face, took a step forward, and surrounded Xue Qing with an extremely low pressure: "You and I are married by the emperor, who can disobey?"

Xue Qing swallowed his saliva. He was right. The imperial power was supreme here. Who could resist? Unless...

Xue Qingyi lowered her head and tried to pass under his armpit, but unexpectedly Zhou Qian hugged her.

Xue Qing was so frightened that she tried to break free: "Zhou Qian, let me go!"

Zhou Qian smiled evilly: "Don't forget that you are my fiancée..."

"You said she's your fiancée, how can it be that we haven't gotten married yet?"

Xue Qing had no way to break free from Zhou Qian's arms, so he raised his leg and stepped down.

Zhou Qian didn't expect that he only cared about the upper part and ignored the lower part, and subconsciously let go of Xue Qing.

Xue Qing jumped far away.

The guards hiding in the dark tried hard to hold back their laughter. Your Highness could have such a day!

Xue Qing looked at Zhou Qian who was enduring the pain, and raised the corner of his mouth but then suppressed it hard.

Zhou Qian happened to see Xue Qing trying to hold back his laughter. He was stunned for a moment and instantly forgot the pain in his foot.

"So Qing'er likes this!"

Xue Qing sat on a chair far away from him: "Zhou Qian, when did you start to doubt my background?"

Zhou Qian picked up the teacup and took a sip: "Of course I have to check my wife. It won't be difficult for her to send someone to Anyang."

Xue Qing: “I understand.”

After a pause, he continued, "Then find out who is trying to kill me. If you find out and kill him, I will consider marriage."

After Xue Qing finished speaking, he returned to the general's mansion.

Li and Wu Tong were thrown into jail for slandering Xia Xueqing.

In this dark and damp prison, they were filled with anxiety, not knowing what kind of verdict would be waiting for them.

Wu Tong felt extremely regretful. He took out the only silver he had on him and quietly stuffed it to the jailer. Then he said anxiously, "Please go to General Dingyuan's Mansion to find Liu and ask her to come and see me." The jailer nodded and agreed to his request for the sake of the silver.

After receiving the letter, Liu felt very complicated. She didn't want to have anything to do with Wu Tong anymore, but she was a little curious about why he came to her.

Finally, accompanied by Xue Qing, Liu came to the prison.

When Xue Qing saw Li and Wu Tong, his eyes were full of disgust.

Wu Tong looked at the now noble Liu and felt deeply moved.

He knelt down with a plop, and confessed to Liu with a face full of regret: "Liu, I was wrong. It was Li who seduced me, and I wrote the divorce letter without knowing it. I am willing to withdraw the divorce letter now, and I am willing to make peace with you again."

After hearing what he said, Liu was filled with anger. She taunted him mercilessly, "Wu Tong, who do you think I am? You can divorce me if you want, and reconcile if you want. When you wrote the divorce letter, did you ever think about how I felt? Now that you are in trouble, you want to come back to me. Forget it."

Wu Tong pleaded bitterly, "My dear, I know I was wrong. I was bewildered at the time, and that's why I did such a thing. Please forgive me for the fact that we were once husband and wife."

Liu sneered, "We are husband and wife? Are you worthy of saying these four words? What have you done all these years? How dare you ask for my forgiveness now?"

Xue Qing looked at Wu Tong coldly: "Wu Tong, when you were having an affair with Li, did you ever think about your wife who had been with you through thick and thin?"

Wu Tong looked at Liu and Xue Qing in despair. He knew that he had lost their trust and forgiveness.

He collapsed on the ground, filled with regret. If he had lived a good life with Liu, no matter whether Wu Yu was his biological son or not, he would now be the father of General Dingyuan.

Based on this alone, he will surely enjoy wealth and glory in the second half of his life.

Now? Both he and Li were put in jail.

It’s all the fault of this woman, Li. If she hadn’t seduced me in the first place, this wouldn’t have been such a big mistake.

When Liu saw Wu Tong's appearance, she felt a little reluctant, but more determined.

She knew that she could no longer be soft-hearted and could not be hurt by Wu Tong again.

She turned to Xue Qing and said, "Qing'er, let's go. I don't want to see him again."

"Liu Xu, you bitch! Do you think you won?" Li said crazily.

Xue Qing and Liu stopped and looked at Li, who was disheveled and holding on to the prison door with both hands.

I heard her say, "When you first arrived at Shilibao, Brother Tong and I were already in love. If it weren't for your dowry, Brother Tong would have divorced you long ago! Ugly girl! Haha, that's what Brother Tong called you behind your back, haha..."

After hearing this, Liu was so angry that she trembled all over.

Xue Qing glared at Wu Tong with disgust.

Then he turned to Li: "Li Cuihua, your brother Tong doesn't know that you have been with those men for so many years! I heard that you and the Guo brothers fooled around in front of your husband."

Li's face was grim: "Xia Xueqing, you bitch, shut up! Shut up..."

When Wu Tong heard Xue Qing's words, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Li in the cell opposite him, his eyes full of anger: "Li Cuihua, is what she said true?"

Li quickly denied it, "Brother Tong, don't listen to this bitch. How can you believe the words of a witch?"

Xue Qing sneered: "You said that I am a witch, but I can never catch up with you, a vicious woman who killed her husband and committed adultery."

Li was so angry that she yelled, "You witch, what nonsense are you talking about!"

"I'm talking nonsense. You gave Zhao Da a chronic poison and let him die slowly. He was in such a half-dead state, and you even asked him to go to the mountain. Aren't you sending him to his death?"

Li was like a madman, cursing non-stop.

Xue Qing didn't want to pay any attention to the madman and helped Liu walk towards the prison door.

When she reached the door, she turned to Li and said, "Li Cuihua, if you miss your husband, maybe he will come to see you one day."

After hearing what Xue Qing said, Li's face was filled with horror!

Xue Qing accompanied Liu out of the prison. Their backs gradually faded away, while Wu Tong tasted the bitter fruit of his own actions alone in the prison.

Chapter 341

The emperor summoned Xue Qing into the palace. After receiving the order, although Xue Qing had some doubts in his heart, he still obeyed the order and went to the palace.

She was dressed in a simple dress and behaved dignifiedly as she slowly followed the eunuch into the palace.

However, after entering the palace, Xue Qing did not see the emperor, but was taken directly to a remote palace by the eunuch.

Xue Qing felt a little uneasy. She looked at the unfamiliar environment and asked, "Eunuch, why did you bring me here? Where is the emperor?"

The young eunuch said expressionlessly: "Miss Xia, please be patient and wait here." After that, the young eunuch retreated and locked the door.

Xue Qing frowned, she realized something was wrong.

She began to look for an exit, trying to leave the place. While groping, she opened a secret door.

Behind the secret door was a dim room. When she walked in, she saw the national teacher.

The Imperial Master stood there quietly, looking at Xue Qing with cold eyes.

Xue Qing looked at the Imperial Master warily and asked, "Imperial Master, it seems that you and the Emperor specifically asked me to come here."

The Imperial Master said coldly: "Xia Xueqing, you shouldn't have appeared in this world in the first place, so today, you must disappear."

Xue Qing glared at the Imperial Master and said, "You are the one who should not be in this world the most! You spread lies every day to confuse the people. If you hadn't whispered to the Emperor that the women born in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion were harmful to the court, how could I have suffered for so many years?"

The national teacher is the real owner of the child. How sad it is that he put the rise and fall of a country on a woman!

The Imperial Master snorted coldly and said, "Do you dare to say that you are Xia Xueqing? You can fool those ignorant people, but you can't fool me!"

After a disagreement of three sentences, the two started fighting.

Although Xue Qing was an extraordinary fighter, the Imperial Master was also very powerful. After several rounds, Xue Qing gradually fell into a disadvantage.

In the end, Xue Qing was beaten by the national teacher and spat out a mouthful of blood on the ground.

Xue Qing stood up with difficulty, dodged his fatal move, and saw that he was about to die at the hands of the national teacher.

She didn't know whether she could enter the space at this time. She closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she had already arrived in the space.

Xue Qing quickly went to the medicine cabinet in the house to find the medicine. After taking it, he lay on the ground and fainted.

The Imperial Master thrust his sword forward, and the person disappeared in the blink of an eye. Then he actually laughed crazily: "Haha, it's really a witch!"

After saying that, he went to the table next to him and started drawing talismans.

At the same time, the emperor met Xia Xuelian in the imperial study.

Xia Xuelian knelt on the ground, looking at the emperor with a flattering face.

The emperor looked at Xia Xuelian, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes and said: "Xia Xuelian, I can let you continue to be the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, but you must be obedient."

Xia Xuelian kowtowed and thanked him immediately: "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will obey your orders."

The emperor nodded slightly, then asked the eunuch to make Xia Xuelian wear the clothes that Xue Qing wore when he entered the palace, and had her disguised as Xue Qing.

Xia Xuelian looked at herself in the mirror, feeling very proud. Xia Xueqing, you still lost. Even if you are the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, so what? The emperor said whoever is the winner is the winner!

The emperor looked at Xia Xuelian after she changed her appearance and said with satisfaction: "Very good. Now, you will leave the palace as Xue Qing and go directly back to the Duke's Mansion."

Xia Xuelian kowtowed again to express her gratitude, then followed the eunuch out of the imperial study.

Jiang Yi, who was waiting outside the palace, felt a little strange after seeing the fake Xue Qing.

She frowned and asked, "Qing'er, are you okay?"

As he said this, he walked forward and helped Xia Xuelian into the car.

Xia Xue's heart tightened, but she pretended to be calm and said, "It's okay. Maybe I've been in the palace for too long and I feel a little uncomfortable."

Although Jiang Yi was confused, he didn't say anything.

She just nodded slightly, and then said: "Then let's go back to the general's mansion"

Xia Xuelian quickly said: "Go back to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion"

Jiang Yi looked at Xia Xuelian in surprise: "Qing'er, why do you want to return to the Duke's Mansion?"

Xia Xuelian glanced at Jiang Yi coldly: "Are you the master or am I the master?"

Jiang Yi lowered his head and said, "Yes."

She stopped talking and Xia Xuelian let her out of the carriage and sat with the driver.

Seeing Jiang Yi retreat, Xia Xuelian breathed a sigh of relief, and the carriage drove towards the direction of the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion.

When Xue He heard the housekeeper say that the eldest lady was back, his face was filled with smiles.

He got up quickly, eager to see his daughter. Xue Zhong, the old lady, and Mrs. Wang were also very happy and looked forward to Xue Qing's return.

Xia Xuelian came to Zhufeng Courtyard with ease, and she tried her best to imitate Xia Xueqing's behavior and demeanor.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw Xue Zhong, Xue He, the old lady and Madam Wang were all there, and everyone's eyes fell on her.

When Mrs. Wang saw "Xia Xueqing", tears immediately fell from her eyes.

She walked forward, held Xia Xuelian's hand tightly, and said in a trembling voice: "Child, you are finally back. I am sorry for the injustice you have suffered these days."

Xia Xuelian was secretly proud in her heart, but she pretended to be gentle and said, "Mother, I'm fine. I'm sorry to have worried you."

The servants could not hide their joy on their faces and were talking about the eldest lady's return.

Xue He looked at his "daughter" with relief and said, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."

Xia Xuelian tried her best to act like Xia Xueqing and took the initiative to say, "Father and mother, I am an unfilial daughter and failed to come back in time. I will be filial to you in the future."

Wang Jingyao grabbed her hand and said, "Qing'er, I feel so sorry for you!"

There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Xia Xuelian's eyes, but she still pretended to be Xia Xueqing and said, "Mother, you can't say that. I'm back now, right?"

Wang Jingyao suggested that Xia Xuelian should live in Qinyaxuan, saying that this was the yard that had been specially reserved for her.

Xia Xuelian's face changed when she heard this, and then she said, "Mother, I'd better live in Lotus Cottage."

Wang Jingyao's eyes flashed with doubt when she heard this. Xia Xuelian said, "I heard that my sister has been living in Lotus Villa before. I think she can live there too!"

Xue He nodded and agreed: "Madam, let's do as Qing'er wishes."

Xia Xuelian returned to Lotus Cottage and met Xiaoqing and Nanny.

When Xiaoqing and the nanny saw Xia Xueqing, the real eldest lady who had returned, they hurried forward to greet her.

Xiaoqing said respectfully: "Welcome back, young lady. I am Xiaoqing."

Xia Xuelian nodded slightly and said, "Okay, you used to be my sister's personal maid?"

Xiaoqing replied: "Yes, Miss"

Xia Xuelian let her continue to be her personal maid.

The nanny also said quickly: "Don't worry, young lady, we will do our best to serve you."

When Xia Xuelian said this, a hint of displeasure flashed across her face.

But nothing was said.

Afterwards, Xia Xuelian sent Jiang Yi to the general's mansion.

Although Jiang Yi was a little confused, he didn't dare to ask more questions and could only obey the order.
