I kicked out my vicious husband and married his great-uncle

Come! Door! Ask! Dear!

After receiving this information, Duke Zhao immediately felt relieved.

After calming down, he spoke faster than his brain: "Your Highness, you must have come to the wrong door. Both of our daughters are married."

Zhao Wenbin hurriedly gestured: "Father, second uncle."

When his son reminded him of this, Duke Zhao remembered that, oh, yes, he still had several nieces who were not married yet.

At this time, Xie Xingyuan felt a little embarrassed: "Please forgive me, Duke. I don't have any living elders, so I have to come here by myself. If I am impolite, please forgive me."

"No, no, Your Highness, you are too polite." Duke Zhao sat down slowly after saying this.

This time, his entire butt was seated on the chair, and it felt so stable.

"I wonder which of my nieces the prince has taken a fancy to?"

Xie Xingyuan smiled slightly: "It's not your niece that I'm interested in."

Instantly, Duke Zhao could no longer sit still and said in a trembling voice, "My Lord, my two daughters are married now."

Could it be that Prince Xie is going to resort to cunning and force-eaten other people's wives?

In an instant, Duke Zhao had already thought of how to scold Xie Xingyuan.

"This king knows."

At the same time, seeing that both of his sons were in a state of confusion, Duke Zhao suddenly remembered something and immediately started to clarify himself with his eyes wide open: "My Lord, I don't have any concubines, let alone any other daughters."

Xie Xingyuan burst out laughing: "My Lord, you are joking. I want to ask you to marry your adopted daughter, Cui Shuyan."

After listening to this, Zhao Wenbin showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.

But soon, his expression became serious.

The same is true for Duke Zhao.

He sat down and looked at Xie Xingyuan scrutinizingly: "Your Majesty, are you serious about this?"

"Of course it's serious."

"Before marrying you, Ke Shuyan was married to your nephew's grandson. Although they divorced later, you were her great-uncle after all. I'm afraid this marriage is inappropriate."

After that, Duke Zhao added, "The world is too harsh on women. Your Highness insists on doing this, and the impact on you is not that big. At most, it will affect your reputation a little. Besides, your status is here, and no one dares to say anything in front of you. But it's hard to say about Shuyan. She is a woman, and she can be drowned by spit alone."

Speaking of this, Xie Xingyuan's expression became more serious: "That's true. But, I must have Shuyan. Please think of a way for this, Duke."

Duke Zhao looked at Xie Xingyuan again and saw that he did not look like he was faking it, so he asked, "Your Highness, are you not afraid that the censor will report you for asking for this marriage?"

Although Cui Shuyan had already divorced, marrying a woman who was once his nephew's granddaughter-in-law was a huge stain on Xie Xingyuan.

You know, Xie Xingyuan used to be almost perfect.

The closer a person is to perfection, the more noticeable a blemish will be.

"Not afraid."

"What is the prince trying to achieve by doing this?" Duke Zhao was puzzled.

Just thinking about it now, he could imagine how those imperial censors in the court would scold Xie Xingyuan if he insisted on marrying Cui Shuyan!

Although Xie Xingyuan was also a sharp-tongued person, he was in the wrong this time.

Can you still be so harsh with your words when you are in the wrong?

Duke Zhao expressed his doubts about this.

"I don't want anything, but just one person's heart."

When these words came out of Xie Xingyuan's mouth, Duke Zhao and his son were all very surprised.

Because Xie Xingyuan's daily behavior doesn't seem like that of a romantic man.

His cold and emotionless look made him look like the type who thinks women are trouble.

But these words, which only sought to please one person, came out of Xie Xingyuan's mouth.

Duke Zhao still had a worried look on his face: "Is your intention right? If you encounter setbacks and back off, it will be Shuyan who will suffer."

"I understand. But, this is my mind, and I will never change it."

"So, what does Shuyan mean?"

"Then please take care of it, Duke."

At this moment, he naturally couldn't say that Cui Shuyan also agreed.

Otherwise, it will affect her reputation.

Duke Zhao nodded, and only then did he feel somewhat satisfied with Xie Xingyuan.

After seeing Xie Xingyuan off, Duke Zhao went to the inner house and told his wife about the matter.

Lady Zhao was very surprised: "Master, do you think Prince Xie is sincere to Shuyan?"

"It looks like that. But I still need to ask Shuyan's opinion on this matter."

Lady Zhao naturally understood what Duke Zhao meant. She immediately packed up and went to Luo's residence to meet Cui Shuyan.

Cui Shuyan had a rough idea of ​​the purpose of Lady Zhao's visit, but she pretended not to know and invited her to sit down and have some tea.

After taking a few sips of tea, Lady Zhao said directly, "Shuyan, thank you Prince for coming to the mansion today and asking to marry you. What do you think?"

Cui Shuyan lowered her head, the corners of her lips slightly raised: "It's all up to my stepmother."

After hearing this, Lady Zhao knew what was going on.

She took Cui Shuyan's hand and said earnestly: "The most important thing for us women in this life is to find a man who truly loves us. I think Prince Xie is reliable."

"Yes!" Cui Shuyan nodded heavily.

Xie Xingyuan is naturally reliable.

In fact, even she herself didn't realize that when she mentioned Xie Xingyuan, the expression on her face became more lively and the corners of her lips would involuntarily rise.

Lady Zhao was an experienced person, so she naturally saw some signs and knew that this marriage was most likely to go through.

Now, she could no longer sit still, so she immediately went back home and began to rummage through her boxes and drawers, thinking about how to prepare a dowry for Cui Shuyan.

Cui Shuyan, on the other hand, was filled with joy.

She didn't expect that Xie Xingyuan would be so decisive. She had just verbally agreed, but he went to the Duke's Mansion to propose marriage today.

For some reason, she couldn't help laughing when she thought about this.

Just as she was feeling happy, Shi Liu said outside the door, "Miss, Cui Shangjin is here and said he has something important to discuss with you."

“Drive away!”

"We chased him away, but he refused to leave, saying that he had great news for you. He didn't look sad this time. He looked like he had picked up 100,000 taels of silver. His mouth was almost crooked with smiles."

Cui Shuyan snorted coldly: "It's a good thing for him, but not necessarily for me. Forget it, this villain is difficult to deal with, let him wait in the flower hall."

If we have a disagreement, just kick him out.

Cui Shuyan deliberately delayed for a long time before going over. Just as she approached the flower hall, she heard Cui Shangjin's crazy laughter coming from inside...
