Reborn, the daughter of the Marquisate went crazy

Jing'an Marquis Mansion, main hall in the front yard.

The person who came to announce the decree this time was an unfamiliar eunuch. He had a pale face and a serious expression, and a hint of disdain was revealed in the slightly drooping corners of his mouth.

Xie Jingyuan hesitantly moved to the eunuch's side, his voice trembling slightly. "Thank you for the trip, eunuch De'an. It's so cold, you've worked hard!"

De'an? Xie Qingli frowned slightly, as if she had heard this name somewhere before. Thinking carefully, she suddenly remembered that when the Fourth Prince committed suicide out of fear of punishment, it was Eunuch De'an who went to the Fourth Prince's residence to announce the decree.

Eunuch De'an did not respond to Xie Jingyuan's greeting. He glanced at Xie Jingyuan indifferently, and his eyes seemed to have a deeper meaning that was difficult to understand.

Xie Jingyuan seemed startled by that look. The color drained from his face, and his eyes were filled with panic. He quickly looked away, not daring to meet Eunuch De'an's gaze again. His hands, tucked into his sleeves, trembled uncontrollably.

Xie Qingli happened to see this scene. Her expression was slightly stern, and her eyes moved back and forth between Xie Jingyuan and Eunuch De'an, thinking that there must be something fishy going on between the two.

Seeing Xie Jingyuan's cowering expression, Eunuch De'an couldn't help but sneer. He turned his head and scanned everyone in the room with a sharp gaze. Without even checking to see if anyone was present, he pulled a bright yellow scroll of imperial edict from his sleeve.

Seeing this, everyone knelt on the ground.

Xie Qingyao knelt in the middle of the crowd, her eyes fixed on the imperial edict, her heart surging with irrepressible excitement. If she guessed correctly, it was the imperial edict granting marriage that the Third Prince had requested from the Emperor.

Eunuch De'an slowly unfolded the imperial edict and read it in a shrill voice: "This decree says: To you, Xie Qingyao, the second daughter of Xie Jingyuan, Marquis of Jing'an..."

It really is an imperial decree granting marriage!

Hearing the name "Xie Qingyao," Xie Qingyao's heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably, her cheeks flushed with excitement, and countless fireworks seemed to burst into life in her mind. She was about to become the consort of the Third Prince. In the not-too-distant future, she would be dressed in gorgeous clothes, wearing a phoenix crown, and ruling the country as the mother of the nation.

"...I now grant you a marriage to the Third Prince, Chu Yunyuan, and appoint you as his concubine. I hope that from now on..."

When Eunuch De'an's shrill voice completely fell, the room fell into silence. Everyone looked at each other, their eyes full of shock and confusion. When did Xie Qingyao hook up with the third prince?

Xie Qingyao's body was shaky, and she felt a thud in her head, as if something had exploded. She stared at the imperial edict in disbelief, her face filled with disbelief. Concubine? Why a concubine? No matter how nice the title, she was still just a concubine who was not worthy of public appearances!

Only Xie Jingyuan had a face full of joy and his eyes sparkling with excitement. His daughter was indeed a good person, and the Xie family's brilliant future seemed to be within reach.

Seeing Xie Qingyao was stunned and did not go to receive the imperial edict, he thought that Yao'er must be too happy to forget the etiquette, and hurriedly whispered to remind her: "Yao'er, quickly accept the edict."

Xie Qingyao came back to her senses slightly. She took the imperial edict with trembling hands, and her heart was filled with endless anger and unwillingness. The Third Prince knew that she was carrying the life of the phoenix, but he still treated her so lightly. Didn't he want to take over this world?

She clenched her fists, her nails digging deep into her palms, and silently chanted in her heart: If you don't betray me, I won't betray you; if you have already betrayed me, I will not let you off easily!

At the same time, An looked at Xie Qingyao with trepidation, her eyes full of worry and fear. If she had known this day would come, she would never have broken up with Xie Qingyao. Now that Xie Qingyao has climbed up the high branch of the Third Prince, will he come to deal with her in the future?

It goes without saying that Xie Jingyuan joyfully took care of eunuch De'an and attentively saw him off.

Xie Qingli took Jiang Muxue's arm and walked towards the backyard with a calm expression.

"Big sister, wait for Rong'er." Xie Qingrong shouted while chasing after Xie Qingli breathlessly.

Jiang Muxue paused, patted Xie Qingli's arm gently, and said softly, "Li'er, go! Mother will be back first."

Xie Qingli nodded, she turned around and waited in the same place, chuckling softly, "Sister Rong'er, take your time, there's no rush."

Xie Qingrong trotted over to Xie Qingli's side. She grabbed Xie Qingli's sleeve, a bright smile on her face: "Big sister, you have been too busy these days and have not been in the mansion. Rong'er misses you so much."

Xie Qingli gently touched Xie Qingrong's head, his eyes gentle and doting: "I miss my sister Rong'er too."

Xie Qingrong's eyes curved into crescent shapes, her voice full of surprise: "Really? Big sister, I have a good news for you..."

She looked up and around, and said impatiently, "My mother is two months pregnant. I will have a brother or sister soon!" Her face was full of joy, and her voice unconsciously rose a few degrees.

"Shh!" Xie Qingli quickly put his finger to his mouth, signaling Xie Qingrong to speak in a low voice.

She looked around and whispered, "This is great news. Congratulations to your family. But Third Auntie didn't make this news public. She must have her reasons. Sister Rong'er, please don't spread the news casually."

Xie Qingrong quickly covered her mouth with her hand. She said in a very low voice, "Big sister is right. Father wanted to tell the eldest and second uncles the good news, but mother was adamantly against it."

Her eyes were filled with confusion as she continued, "Mother...she even asked Father to talk to Uncle about dividing the family property. Father was furious. He said that Grandmother had raised him, and as a son, as long as Grandmother was still around, he wouldn't leave the Marquisate on his own initiative. Father and Mother had a huge argument over this, something they had never done before..."

Xie Qingli frowned slightly and said worriedly, "Although your third branch is relatively small, the second branch is in chaos right now, and it's possible that they will be affected."

She sighed softly and said slowly, "Aunt San is a strong mother. She has made good considerations. Leaving this troubled place as soon as possible is the best policy. It's a pity that Uncle San is a bit foolishly filial..."

A trace of uneasiness flashed across Xie Qingrong's eyes. She frowned and said, "Big sister, what should we do?"

Xie Qingli's worries intensified as she thought about her impending departure. She held Xie Qingrong's hand and warned her, "Sister Rong'er, you must take good care of Third Aunt. In the future, try not to get close to those people in the mansion, in case someone does something bad."

"I'll leave some effective pregnancy-preserving medicine for Sister Rong'er. If anything happens, give it to Aunt San in time. It can buy you an hour of life-saving time. You need to send Aunt San to the doctor as soon as possible."

She continued in a serious tone, "You can send them to Miaoxin Hall to see Doctor Tang. He is very skilled in this field and will definitely keep Third Aunt and the child safe."

"Big sister, don't worry, Rong'er has remembered everything! Rong'er has grown up and will definitely be able to protect her mother." Xie Qingrong no longer had the heart to play and left in a hurry.

Looking at Xie Qingrong's back, Xie Qingli felt mixed emotions and couldn't help but sigh. Everyone has something they must protect, so today she must confess to her mother about going to Jiazhou.

Thinking of this, she quickly walked towards Yingxueju...
