Bring a scumbag girl to bully me, and you are afraid of using modern weapons.

Chapter 19 The Queen's Threat

"Your Majesty, Jinglan was indeed wronged in this matter. It was all because of that bitch Xie Ruyan who instigated Hong'er." Empress Changsun wanted to pull Xie Jinglan's hand, but she happened to turn around and avoid her, and walked to her grandmother's side.

Empress Changsun's face suddenly darkened. This was the first time she had been disrespected like this since she became empress.

Suppressing the rage rising in her heart, she forced a stiff smile on her face, "Jinglan, I promise you, Xie Ruyan... no! She should be called Lin Ruyan now. She is the one who destroyed your relationship with Hong'er. A woman with such evil intentions will never be able to marry into Prince Mu's palace in this lifetime."

"Mother, no! I only like Yan'er, please grant my wish." Beitang Hong was secretly anxious. He knew his mother's temperament and methods. If she wanted to do something to Yan'er, Yan'er would be in danger.

His eyes darkened and he looked at Xie Jinglan with a condescending expression:

"Xie Jinglan, I have never thought of canceling your engagement. It is you who are narrow-minded and cannot tolerate Yan'er. If you agree to let Yan'er be Consort Ping, and you both marry into the palace on the same day, I can promise you that you will always be Consort Mu, and no one can shake your position."

"No need for that. I'm too unworthy to be your Prince Mu's Consort. That position should be left to your Yan'er!" Xie Jinglan glanced at him with disdain and knelt before the emperor, "I beg Your Majesty to cancel the engagement between me and Prince Mu."

"Xie Jinglan, don't be ungrateful. If the engagement is cancelled, you will never have the chance to marry into Prince Mu's mansion again! Who will dare to marry you in the future if you are the woman I don't want? You will be alone for the rest of your life!"

Beitang Hong didn't expect that this woman was so ungrateful. He had already given her a way out, but she still dared to offend him.

She has liked him for so long, I don’t believe he would be willing to give up the position of Princess Mu!

If it wasn't for Yan'er marrying into the palace, he wouldn't have lowered himself to give her a way out.

"Hahaha..." Xie Jinglan was so angry that she laughed. Is this bastard out of his mind?

It was all because I was too obsessed with him in my previous life, which made him feel that he was indispensable.

"Please rest assured, Prince Mu. I, Xie Jinglan, would rather live alone for the rest of my life than marry you." She knew that saying this would offend the royal family.

But she didn't say it so bluntly, and these people always pretended to be stupid, as if they didn't understand what she meant.

Sure enough, Emperor Kunming and Empress Changsun both looked unhappy.

"Should Lan'er get married in the future, and who will she marry? Prince Mu, please don't worry about it." Xie Wanying stood up, took the marriage certificate and engagement token from Nanny Feng's hand, and handed them to Emperor Kunming personally.

"Your Majesty, you have also seen that Prince Mu is ruthless to Lan'er.

In this great hall, Prince Mu openly threatens Lan'er for another woman. What does he think of my Duke of Li's Mansion? My son died fighting to protect the people, and his daughter has fallen to such a state of being treated so harshly! I, your humble servant, am truly dissatisfied and boldly beg Your Majesty to cancel their engagement."

When Empress Changsun heard her words with hidden meanings, she was furious and secretly cursed the old woman for being ungrateful and actually using her son's death to threaten the emperor.

Being killed on the battlefield as a general shows that his martial arts skills are inferior to others.

Xie Feng died in battle, and the court has already given all the compensation it should have given. This old guy keeps using this matter to make himself miserable in front of the emperor. It's really hateful.

"Old Lady Xie, I advise you not to act rashly. Now there are only three of you, the grandfather and grandson, left in the entire Duke Li's Mansion. Xie Yunqing is still so young, and it is time to help manage such a large estate of the Xie family. Prince Mu's Mansion is your best helper."

There was a threat in Empress Changsun's words. Lin Yuansheng had been divorced, and there were only three masters in the huge Duke Li Mansion, the old one was old, the young one was young, and Xie Jinglan was a waste, and she was simply unable to manage the huge family business.

If the marriage is cancelled, the Xie family will have offended Prince Mu's Mansion and Lin Yuansheng. If they secretly make things difficult for Duke Li's Mansion, their lives may not be easy.

"Queen, I think you are meddling too much." The Queen Mother had long seen through Empress Changsun's thoughts. With Prince Mu's character, he was not a good match for Xie Jinglan at all.

"A forced melon is not sweet. Judging from what Beitang Hong just said, he only has this little hoof Lin Ruyan in his heart. If Xie Jinglan marries him, she will inevitably be tortured by them. That would be jumping into a fire pit. Emperor, please cancel the engagement?"

"Your Majesty is right." Upon hearing the Queen Mother's dissatisfaction, Emperor Kunming glared at Empress Zhangsun, took the marriage certificate and token, and said:

"Prince Mu, since you don't like Miss Xie, please return the marriage certificate to the Duke of Li's Mansion! Your marriage is canceled today."

"She can cancel the engagement if she wants, but I have two conditions." Beitang Hong was furious. He was a prince of a great country, but he was actually broken off by a woman. If this got out of the news, wouldn't the whole world laugh at him?

"First, Xie Jinglan must kneel down and apologize to Yan'er. She owes Yan'er this. Second, Xie Jinglan must never marry again. This is the price she pays for daring to cancel her marriage to the royal prince."

When these words came out, everyone looked at him in disbelief.

Isn't this a bit too vicious?

Lin Ruyan was very proud. She raised her head slightly and gave Xie Jinglan a provocative look.

"Why?" Xie Jinglan was furious. "What do I owe Lin Ruyan? You've been taking my blood and sweat for three months, and I haven't even settled the score with you yet, yet you're still asking her to apologize? Does she deserve that?"

"You had already promised to let Yan'er marry into the palace as Concubine Ping. If you hadn't caused trouble today, Yan'er wouldn't have suffered this injustice. Shouldn't you apologize?" Beitang Hong's eyes seemed to be able to spit fire.

This woman actually dared to talk back to him?

"Isn't this your incompetence? Since you like this woman so much, why don't you try to give her the Princess Mu? You can't do it, but you put the blame on a weak woman like me? Beitang Hong, is there anyone in this world more shameless than you?" Xie Jinglan just kept on talking without caring about anything.

Damn, I really can’t stand her bad temper.

"You...bitch, how dare you speak to me like that?" Beitang Hong was scolded like that for the first time. He felt so ashamed that he jumped up in anger and raised his hand to slap someone.

"Lan'er..."

"Honger, stop it!"

"elder sister!"

Several voices rang out.

Xie Yunqing rushed over and used his small body to block his sister.

Xie Jinglan pulled her brother away and was about to fight back, not caring about the imperial power, just fighting first.

However, someone took action before her, raised his foot and kicked Beitang Hong in the chest, and then the whole person flew out.

"Bang!" Beitang Hong fell heavily to the ground, rolled twice and stopped in front of Lin Ruyan.

"Your Majesty..."

"Hong'er!"

Xie Jinglan took a look and saw that it was A Yuan who did it.

I suddenly felt anxious. Why did this guy do this?
