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

Xie Xingyuan was stumped by the question and asked in confusion: "When did I..."

Before he finished speaking, when he saw Cui Shuyan lifting her collar, Xie Xingyuan thought of something and his ears turned slightly red.

Last night, it was indeed Meng Lang.

Princess Heshuo refused to listen: "Look, you can't continue talking, right? Even if the emperor's sister-in-law doesn't like Cui Shuyan, can it affect your career? You have made great contributions, what are you afraid of?"

"I... am naturally not afraid."

"If you're not afraid, why would you treat Shuyan like this? It would be fine if you kicked her out of the palace, but why did you bite her?"

Xie Xingyuan opened his mouth, but found that this matter was really difficult to explain, so he had to secretly glance at Cui Shuyan.

Princess Heshuo caught this look and scolded her again: "Why are you glaring at Shuyan? Are you trying to scare her? I'm telling you, you can't scare her with me here!"

Feeling the rage of Princess Heshuo, Xie Xingyuan sighed helplessly and looked at Cui Shuyan: "How about you talk to her alone?"

"Okay." Cui Shuyan blushed and pulled Princess Heshuo to the small side room inside.

Under the current circumstances, if this matter is not explained clearly to Princess Heshuo, it will be really problematic.

A quarter of an hour later, Princess Heshuo ran out with a red face.

When she passed by Xie Xingyuan, she ran faster and her face turned redder.

At this time, Cui Shuyan came out from the side room and said angrily, "I told you not to leave any traces, but you ended up making such a big fool of yourself. How can I go out and meet people in the future?"

"It's okay, we are all family."

Cui Shuyan gritted her teeth and glared at Xie Xingyuan again.

Xie Xingyuan touched his nose awkwardly. He did feel a little uncomfortable last night.

"You came back now, because you heard the rumors outside?"

"Yes. I didn't know what was going on at first, but I felt that Minister He and the people in the Duke of Zhao's mansion didn't like me very much today. Later, Mr. Wen sent someone to tell me, and then I knew it. Madam, you should move back to the palace as soon as possible, otherwise, I don't know how outrageous this rumor will be."

"It doesn't matter. Those who are close to us know the inside story. As for those outsiders, they can say whatever they want. Even if I return home now, outsiders will think that you were forced by Senior Sister to take me back."

Cui Shuyan knew very well that many people were not optimistic about her and Xie Xingyuan.

After all, she was married for the second time.

It was very unusual that a man of Xie Xingyuan's high position and power could marry her.

In addition, outsiders don’t know that Ze’er is her child, so they will think that Prince Xie’s Mansion already has a prince, and even if she gives birth to a child in the future, she will not have any status.

From this incident alone, it can be seen that Xie Xingyuan does not pay enough attention to her.

Of course, this is what others think.

But Cui Shuyan has never been a person who lives in the mouths of others.

What she wants to live is a down-to-earth life of her own.

After staying at Luo's house for another day, Cui Shuyan took Qiaoya and Ze'er back to Prince Xie's Mansion.

After all, Prince Xie's Mansion is large and powerful, and many things are waiting for her to make the decision.

More importantly, she had to order someone to tidy up the house next door as soon as possible.

Liu Zhong has already started looking for someone to propose marriage.

Although they both love each other, these necessary procedures cannot be skipped.

Qiaoya doesn't have many relatives, so the proposal has to come to Cui Shuyan.

From now on, she will be Qiaoya’s family member.

While waiting for the matchmaker to arrive, Cui Shuyan started to deal with some information.

Today, only two or three tenths of the business of the Duke Dingguo's Mansion remains. As a result, there is much less money available for Concubine Xian to use.

This also resulted in several things that Concubine Xian wanted to do recently not being accomplished.

Of course, this was also due to Cui Shuyan's interference.

Some time ago, Concubine Xian probably felt that the Sixth Prince had grown up, so she wanted to invite a famous teacher for him.

If we want to hire a famous teacher, naturally no one can be better than the great scholar Confucius.

But when Kong Daru heard that it was Concubine Xian who invited him, he immediately refused with a cold face.

Even though Concubine Xian paid a huge sum of money to buy the authentic works of Yan Zhen, a great calligrapher in the previous life, she was still unable to impress Confucius.

You know, Kong Daru was obsessed with Yan Zhen's calligraphy, but he was troubled by the fact that he didn't have any authentic works.

But even so, Confucius still refused.

After failing to invite a famous teacher, Concubine Xian thought of bribing some people for the Sixth Prince and having them work for him.

It’s a pity that I don’t have much money, so I can’t give him what he wants, and the effect is very small.

In the end, he was only able to bribe some minor officials.

As for those who were useful and had status, not a single one was won over.

It is said that Concubine Xian has been very angry about this matter recently.

Knowing that Concubine Xian was unhappy, Cui Shuyan became happy and even ate an extra bowl of lunch.

In the evening, Mr. Wen came to deliver some news he had recently obtained.

Cui Shuyan was about to open the note he handed over, but Mr. Wen snatched it away.

Mr. Wen looked embarrassed and said, "Princess, please forgive me. I was careless and took the wrong note for you just now."

As he spoke, Mr. Wen presented another new one.

Cui Shuyan looked at the information on it, then looked at Mr. Wen calmly: "Give me the note just now!"

Although she didn't open the note completely, she saw the words "marriage" on it.

Thinking about the things she had been paying attention to recently, Cui Shuyan felt that something was not right.

What is even more wrong is Mr. Wen's secretive attitude.

Mr. Wen was a little frightened and hesitant.

Cui Shuyan glanced at him and said, "May I ask, sir, what did the prince say about this princess?"

Mr. Wen answered fluently: "The prince once said that when he is not in the palace, everyone in the palace will be at your disposal and there must be no mistakes."

"So, now, you, Mr. Wen, are no longer a member of my Prince Xie's Mansion?"

These words are both a threat and a warning.

Mr. Wen bowed his head: "I dare not."

At the same time, he took out the note and added: "This matter was negligence on my part. The prince wanted to keep it secret from you. He said that he would not sit idly by and do nothing about it."

At this time, Cui Shuyan had already opened the note.

The note clearly stated that Daliang had repeatedly attacked cities to the north of Da Qi, but had not actually fought, with the intention of provoking and threatening.

Recently, they even threatened that Da Qi should cede ten cities in the north and send a princess to marry the princess, otherwise, they would never give up.

Cui Shuyan had made a detailed investigation before and knew that Daliang was a powerful country and that Da Qi could not compare with it.

"Has this matter spread?" Cui Shuyan asked after a long silence.

"Not yet. Right now, only His Majesty and a few important officials in the court know about it, and they are also discussing countermeasures. The Daliang delegation has already set out and will arrive in the capital in seven days at the latest."

"So fast?"

"According to the information we have received so far, this is the latest estimate. This is the latest estimate. The war horses of Daliang are very strong. If we are faster, we can arrive in five days."

This means that within these five days, the imperial court must come up with a response strategy, otherwise, Daliang will succeed.

The game between major powers is a test of strength.

Suddenly, Cui Shuyan felt powerless, but at this moment, she received news that the Queen had asked her to enter the palace...
