The abandoned wife married into a wealthy family, and the scumbag father wailed every night

"Great-grandmother, are you looking for me?"

As soon as Xie Yiyao entered Shouxi Hall, she found that her mother and Xie Tingzhou were there.

My mother's expression was a little complicated, as if she was worried about something.

"Tomorrow, Imperial Concubine Li will summon all the noble ladies in the capital aged 10 to 16 to come to the palace to appreciate the plum blossoms."

When Mrs. Xie saw Xie Yiyao asking her, she sighed and said.

"Yao'er, everyone is saying that Concubine Li is doing this to choose a concubine for her son, the Third Prince."

Gu Yingxue hurriedly pulled Xie Yiyao and said, frowning slightly and looking very uneasy.

But now she was very confused. She heard from her servants that today all the noble families in the capital had begun to make new clothes and buy jewelry for their daughters of marriageable age, waiting for them to shine at the palace banquet tomorrow!

Now she is a little unsure whether she should let her daughter fight for it.

On the one hand, she felt that her daughter was the best in the world and only the prince was worthy of her.

On the one hand, she felt that if her daughter entered the palace, although she would enjoy endless wealth and glory, the people in the palace were treacherous, and she was afraid that her daughter would not be happy there.

Therefore, she was confused by the sudden news and didn't know whether she should let her daughter compete for the position of the third prince's wife.

"Not necessarily. Imperial Concubine Li is a thoughtful and ambitious person. She must have already made up her mind who to choose as the Third Prince's consort. The Third Prince is not yet old enough to be married, so she won't make a big fuss about choosing a consort for him at this time."

Xie Tingzhou spoke with a thoughtful look on his face.

This time the palace kept its mouth shut. He sent people to inquire but could not get any useful information, which made him feel that this matter was not simple.

After hearing what Xie Tingzhou said, Xie Yiyao fell into deep thought.

This cheap father was right. Thanks to Bao Gossip, she now has a better understanding of the situation in the capital.

It is indeed not time for the Third Prince to get engaged yet, so there is really no need for Concubine Li to choose a concubine for him at this time.

Besides, choosing a concubine for the third prince is not a bad thing. Now many noble families are looking forward to their daughters marrying the third prince. She will not keep it secret.

The eldest prince was short-lived and destined not to become the crown prince. The second prince died early, and the remaining princes were either too young to achieve anything significant or their mother's families were weak.

Only the Third Prince, who not only has a powerful maternal family to back him up, but is also deeply favored by Emperor Wende, is the definite candidate for the Crown Prince and the person the noble ladies from aristocratic families most want to marry.

Suddenly, an incredible idea came to Xie Yiyao's mind.

Could it be that this sinister woman wanted to choose a concubine for the eldest prince, and use the eldest prince's death to harm the eldest prince's mother's family once again, and destroy the eldest prince's mother's family completely in one fell swoop?

After all, once the eldest prince passed away, the newly-enthroned eldest prince's wife would have no choice but to remain a widow for the rest of her life.

In this way, the anger of the Third Prince's wife's maternal family will have no outlet, and the eldest prince's maternal family will inevitably have to bear this anger.

But, hasn't she already defeated the Queen, and her son is about to be crowned Crown Prince, so is it necessary for her to kill everyone?

According to Xie Yiyao's idea, Concubine Li would die because of the mistress who forced the original wife to death. She stole the queen's husband, and her own child stole the queen's son's position as crown prince.

She had robbed the queen of everything and obtained all the benefits. If she had any brains, she would not have done anything small to avoid unnecessary trouble.

After all, the eldest prince had been forced into a desperate situation by Concubine Li. If he had any blood in his veins, he would not have watched his own maternal family being forced into irretrievable destruction by Concubine Li.

There was really no need for Concubine Li to do anything unnecessary when she was already the winner.

Xie Tingzhou obviously also thought that Concubine Li might choose a concubine for the eldest prince in order to deal a heavy blow to the eldest prince's maternal family.

He glanced at Gu Yingxue but didn't say what he was thinking. If his wife heard it, she would probably not be able to eat or sleep today.

"Yao'er, are you going to be the imperial concubine?"

Xie Tingzhou thought about it and asked.

"I don't want to be a royal concubine. I don't want to have anything to do with the royal family in my life."

Xie Yiyao said with a look of disgust.

The world is big, she has a lot of money, and her adoptive father is powerful. As long as she doesn't enter the palace, she can live a free and easy life.

Once you enter the palace, if you meet a dog on the road, you have to kneel down and greet all the dogs, as they are all royal dogs!

You have to fight hundreds of rounds with those cunning women just to sleep with a stud.

She doesn't have any serious illness, so why should she do something like this with big investment and low return!

Xie Tingzhou showed a satisfied expression after hearing this.

In fact, he didn't want to have anything to do with the royal family. The best destiny for a woman is not to become a queen or a concubine.

Instead, you can have a husband who treats you sincerely, and live a happy and free life in harmony.

Old Madam Xie didn't want Gu Yiyao to enter the palace to be an imperial concubine. Now that she saw her statement, her expression relaxed a little.

She was really afraid that this girl would insist on becoming an imperial concubine. The royal family was not a good destination.

Gu Yingxue was originally feeling conflicted, but now that she saw that her daughter had no intention of becoming an imperial concubine, she stopped feeling conflicted and began to nag Xie Yiyao, telling her not to cause trouble when she entered the palace tomorrow.

When Mrs. Xie saw that the matter had been discussed, she told the maid to serve the meal. Her granddaughter-in-law was a healthy woman and could not go hungry!

Gu Yingxue's body is now in great good condition because of Gu Yiyao. Not to mention twins, even if it's quadruplets, Gu Yiyao can guarantee that their mother can give birth to them smoothly!

Could the spiritual spring water that she secretly gave to her mother to drink every day be in vain?

She herself was reluctant to drink a bowl of spiritual spring water every day, so even if it was her own mother, she would not be willing to give it to anyone else!

However, seeing how much Mrs. Xie doted on her mother, Gu Yiyao was still happy.

Her mother had a very hard life in the past, and the current ending of wealth and glory and being favored by everyone is what she deserves!

"You can just claim to be sick and rest at home tomorrow. You don't have to go to the palace."

While Xie Tingzhou was carefully picking up food for Gu Yingxue, he spoke to Xie Yiyao nonchalantly.

Xie Yiyao felt a little regretful after hearing this, as she had never seen what the palace looked like.

But she didn't want to cause trouble for herself. After all, she had no interest in being a prince's consort or a widow!

……

"This is Xie Yiyao, the eldest daughter of the Xie family."

Lin Qingjin's mind kept replaying the scene when her mother took her to attend the eldest princess' birthday banquet. The eldest princess' granddaughter Bai Su looked at Xie Yiyao with intimacy and flattery, and introduced her to the other noble ladies from the capital who were attending the banquet.

She had heard Xie Yiyao's name countless times from her mother and her close friends.

She originally had no idea about Xie Yiyao, she just thought that she was someone who didn't want to do it.

I just feel that even though Xie Yiyao is the eldest daughter of the Xie family, she is still a long way behind me.

After all, everyone knows that Xie Yiyao is not the biological daughter of Marquis Xie, so she only bears the false title of the eldest daughter of the Xie family.

How could it compare to the noble status of these ladies who are genuine noble families?

But when she looked at Xie Yiyao's demeanor and her stunningly beautiful face, her heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

Her heart was filled with resentment. Xie Yiyao was just a child abandoned by her father. Why should she dress more luxuriously than her!

She had wanted to use the banquet as an excuse to unite with her close friends to give Xie Yiyao a warning, so that Xie Yiyao would know how powerful they, the true noble ladies, are!

But before she could take any action, her mother died, and her maternal grandfather's family was stripped of their titles!

Overnight, she went from being an envied noble lady in the capital to the daughter of a minor official of the sixth rank!

How could she swallow this?

Looking at the messy house and listening to the rough snoring of old lady Zhang, Lin Qingjin's tears welled up in her eyes. She couldn't live like this!
