The gods are also forced to open

Chapter 261

"I don't want to talk nonsense when I come here today, I just made it clear that I will never agree with Xiao Muyu marrying into Yuan's family."

She knew that she didn't like Xiao Muyu, and if Xiao Muyu came in, she would only look at each other and hate each other.

"Why are you like this? Xiaoyu is your niece, why do you hate her so much? Don't care about family affection at all?"

Madam Yuan glanced at Prime Minister Xiao with complex expressions.

"As long as you care about family affection a little bit, the Xiao family will be torn apart?" Mrs. Yuan is obviously very unwilling to recall that bad past.

"..."

Prime Minister Xiao was silent for a while, and did not answer her question directly.

"The Yuan family can't just keep their word, right? Was it a fact that the Xiao family was engaged to the Yuan family?"

A sneer appeared at the corner of Madam Yuan's mouth, "Don't think I don't know that it was a trick you set up for Yuan Qi, no matter what you say, I won't agree."

"Chen'er and the girl from the Shen family will get married at a certain date, please take good care of your daughter, otherwise don't blame me for not thinking about the old relationship."

Madam Yuan put down these words and got up to leave. When she reached the door, she suddenly stopped, turned her back to Prime Minister Xiao, and said in a deep voice, "Is power really that important to you?"

"..." Prime Minister Xiao remained silent.

As expected, no reply came from him.
-
"Miss Shen, I have worked hard day and night and dare not relax a little bit. I keep your orders in my heart all the time, and I keep my copper bell-like eyes wide open to observe..."

There are many words from the dark guards.

"Please get to the point." Shu Xiapi smiled.

She remembered that this person was not like this before, he would commit suicide if he disagreed.

How do you become a chatterbox now?
"Cough... I found a strange thing. Prime Minister Xiao often goes to the palace late at night, and after about an hour, he will return to Xiao's mansion from the palace."

"Oh, and then what?"

The dark guard froze for a moment.

"Then?"

"And then there's nothing..."

The secret guard thought for a while again, "Although the emperor trusts Prime Minister Xiao, it is impossible to call him into the palace in the middle of the night when he is full and has nothing to do, right?"

"I'm just a hidden guard, that's all I know, I've done my best."

His assassination mission failed, and he went back to receive the punishment, but Prime Minister Xiao never thought that the secret guard had been turned against by Shu Xia.

Shu Xia put something on him, and it would be very painful if he was disobedient, life would be worse than death.

The feeling of being forced to open is really not good.

"Oh, I see."

The last time Shu Xia went to Tonggu Village to arrest people, she intentionally made a big commotion, and most of the capital knew about it. It is impossible for the Xiao family not to know, and the Xiao family sent secret guards to assassinate her that night.

She concluded that it was the Xiao family who got rid of the Shen family. The Xiao family had a feud with the Shen family before. Shen's father did not support Prime Minister Xiao's political views. Before becoming Prime Minister Zuo, he already held a grudge against Shen's father, but there was nothing he could do.

Later, when Prime Minister Xiao gained power, the emperor obeyed him, and all those who offended the Xiao family were retaliated by Prime Minister Xiao, both overtly and secretly.

Prime Minister Xiao is a ruthless man who will get revenge.

……

The next day.

Prime Minister Yuan left the morning court and returned home with a solemn face.

Madam Yuan glanced at him and found that his expression was not right.

"Old Yuan, what's the matter? Did you quarrel with someone in the hall?"

"Madam..." Prime Minister Yuan hesitated to speak.

"The emperor... decreed to marry Chen'er and Mu Yu."

Today in the court hall, Prime Minister Xiao mentioned that the emperor disregarded the regulations of the Hundred Flowers Festival, annulled Yuan Chen and Shu Xia's marriage, and instead gave Yuan Chen and Xiao Muyu a marriage.

The ministers were in an uproar, and Prime Minister Yuan was also shocked. They advised the emperor not to do this, but the emperor became ignorant of anyone's words, stubborn, and retired early.

"Ridiculous! The emperor is getting more and more ridiculous!" Mrs. Yuan was very angry. As the king of a country, the emperor even treated marriage as a joke.

"Even if it's against the decree, I won't let Chen'er be with someone I don't like!"

"I support Madam's approach."

Prime Minister Yuan could tell that Yuan Chen liked Shu Xia and didn't like Xiao Muyu at all.

If you can't even give your children the freedom of marriage, what's the point of being a prime minister?
Prime Minister Yuan has already decided to go to the palace to have a good talk with the emperor at night.
