The Beloved in the Palm

Chapter 152 Show off

When Xue Qingyin got up from her sleep, King Xuan was no longer in the palace.

I didn't wait for her to wake up today... Xue Qingyin thought guiltily, could it be because I was too annoying yesterday?

It shouldn't be.

How good I am!

I confessed everything!

Xue Qingyin rolled out of bed slowly, picked up some clothes and put them on first.

When I walked to the desk, I found pen, ink, paper and inkstone on it.

"Huh?" Xue Qingyin reached out and pulled the paper out from under the inkstone.

It should...should be King Xuan's handwriting, right?

He wrote his name.

He Junting, whose courtesy name is Changyi.

Just six words, no more, no less.

Is this because she is so illiterate that she doesn't know how to write his name?

Xue Qingyin tilted her head and snorted, folded the paper and burned it.

His Royal Highness King Xuan’s handwriting cannot be left lying around.

At this time, the palace people heard the noise and quickly opened the door and came in to wait for Xue Qingyin to wash and eat.

An hour later, Xue Qingyin put down her chopsticks and said, "Go to Xu's house."

When Xue Qingyin arrived, Mrs. Xue was about to go out.

"I was just thinking about coming to see you. I heard from people below that Zhuangzi is opening today?" Mrs. Xue asked.

"Yes, everything is ready now, even the east wind has blown us." Xue Qingyin smiled and nodded.

Mrs. Xue asked: "Don't you go and take a look?"

Xue Qingyin smiled and said: "What are you looking at? The people below are very well-behaved! Just leave it to them... I just got the silver reward, and everyone is enthusiastic."

Mrs. Xue smiled helplessly: "You put so much effort into building it, but you are too lazy to take a look."

Xue Qingyin shook her head: "Then my mother-in-law said it wrong, I didn't put any thought into it."

Mrs. Xue wondered, is that not considered too much effort? She invited countless people to serve as living signs one by one!

Xue Qingyin said: "It's all just a few words... Where can I be the one who contributes?"

When Mrs. Xue heard this, she thought, it seemed, it seemed...that was really the case!

The corners of Mrs. Xue's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

Her daughter seemed to have spent very little effort, and many people rushed to deliver things.

"By the way, your brother said he came to visit you."

"Um."

Mrs. , then it’s time to choose a marriage for him..."

Don't.

What a disaster to girls from good families.

Xue Qingyin wrinkled her nose and said, "Why are you so anxious? My father will plan for him."

"Your father..." Mrs. Xue sneered.

Say Cao Cao and Cao Cao will arrive.

"Auntie!" The servant rushed all the way to the front, with a look of surprise on his face, and said: "The old lady, and my uncle are here..."

Mrs. Xue was stunned.

Xue Qingyin, who was on the side, said: "Then please come in." Anyway, if she is here today, what kind of trouble can the Xue family make?

The servant responded: "Yes!"

After a while, Mr. Xue and Xue Chengdong came in one after another.

Xue Qingyin's buttocks were stuck to the chair. She sat firmly and said, "I'm inconvenienced, so I can't get up to greet him."

Mr. Xue: "..."

He couldn't help but take a look at Xue Qingyin.

It's hard to say whether she's three months pregnant or not, but his granddaughter is already seven months pregnant.

But Mrs. Xue could only say: "That's right, Qingyin, just sit down and take a good seat."

Mrs. Xue still saluted. Without looking at Xue Chengdong, she asked Mr. Xue: "I wonder why father came here?"

Old Mrs. Xue sighed: "Looking back at the decades you spent in the Xue family, you shed a lot of tears. Today, your children have grown up. For the Xue family, there is hard work without credit. The Xue family should not have treated you like this... "

"That day Chengdong came home and said that you wanted to make peace with him. I was totally against it, and I thought Chengdong was reluctant to let go. But after all these years of fighting, you must be tired."

Xue Chengdong then took a step forward and silently handed a document to Mrs. Xue.

He said not a word, but looked haggard.

Mrs. Xue picked up the document, her hands trembling. She took a breath and read out the name: "...the letter to release my wife."

"Even so, if anything happens to you in the future, you can send someone to look for me. Ah Zhi, in my heart..."

Xue Chengdong paused mid-sentence.

In the end, he just changed his words: "I just hope you get what you want."

Xue Qingyin frowned.

What a man who takes retreat in order to advance!

She was really afraid that Mrs. Xue would not be strong-willed.

Mrs. Xue looked at Xue Chengdong in a daze for a while. Today, Xue Chengdong does not look like his usual self, nor does he look like he did when he was newlywed.

The Xue family father and son looked at Mrs. Xue for a long time without responding or making a sound to urge her.

Persistence will only make people more bored and make mistakes more mistakes.

Taking a step back would give each other room to breathe... Xue Chengdong had to admit that He Songning was right.

Just when the atmosphere became more and more stagnant.

Mrs. Xue said: "Okay, I'll accept it. Have the documents at the government office been changed as well?"

Xue Chengdong froze.

Her hesitation was not as much as he thought.

"Changed." Old Mrs. Xue said.

"That's fine." Mrs. Xue lied, "I won't invite you two to tea. I want to relax with Qing Yin."

Old Master Xue nodded and pretended to say, "If you have any problems in the future, just come to the Xue family."

Mrs. Xue's face changed slightly, and her tone became colder: "Please."

Old Master Xue: "..." Is there anything wrong with what he said? Their Xue family has done so much, everything is in line with her wishes, and they are so generous and tolerant, but she is not moved at all?

"Let's go, father." Xue Chengdong moved his lips and said in a deep voice.

As he said that, he turned around and walked away, as if he didn't dare to look back at Mrs. Xue again. Oh no, now it's Xu Zhi. She is no longer the vassal of Xue Chengdong, "Mrs. Xue" in the mouth of others.

Xue Chengdong's figure as he left looked more and more haggard.

But Xu Zhi only took a glance, then turned back and cursed: "What? What do you mean by going to them when you encounter problems? Who will encounter problems? We are so good! If the Xue family encounters problems, we will not encounter any problems! Isn't this a curse?"

Xue Qingyin couldn't help laughing: "Ah, yes, mother is right! They have bad intentions!"

When their figures were completely out of sight, Xu Zhi suddenly fell silent.

After many years of marriage, how could they not be affected by the divorce?

Xue Qingyin grabbed her arm and said: "I thought mother would be soft-hearted."

Xu Zhi immediately threw away the sentimentality in her heart and said to Xue Qingyin: "I was afraid that you would be soft-hearted when you saw your father's appearance."

Xue Qingyin smiled and said: "Only mother can make me soft-hearted."

"You are so sweet." Xu Zhi smiled a little and said: "People are afraid of comparison."

"Hmm?"

"Nothing."

Xue Qingyin was so curious, why did she say half of the words?

Xu Zhi thought to herself, I saw Ning Que's appearance after he fell seriously ill for her that day, and seeing Xue Chengdong's haggard appearance today, I immediately felt that it was nothing.

He hasn't died of illness yet, has he?

Xue Qingyin thought about it and said, "Mother, let's hold a flower viewing banquet."

Xu Zhi was stunned and said, "Why did you suddenly come up with such an idea?" After she said that, she shook her head and denied it, "What kind of banquet is it? It's just a joke for others. They will definitely say, look, that the fierce woman in the Xue family will be divorced sooner or later."

Xue Qingyin smiled, "Mother, you are wrong. Do you believe it? Not only will they not look down on you, but they will envy you instead?"

Ordinary women have to worry about rumors after divorce, let alone Mrs. Xue, who has always been notorious in this era?

If this matter is not resolved, Mrs. Xue will still have grudges in her heart and will never be able to feel really happy.

Xue Qingyin smiled, and she turned Mrs. Xue's reputation around in one breath!

On the other side.

A civil official stood in front of King Xuan and said in surprise: "He Fenglai, Tan Zizhao, these two are really Xue Ning's people! How did Your Highness know?"

As he spoke, he was confused: "How could the son of a minister have such great ability? Recruiting these two people? Did he recruit them for King Wei? I have heard that the concubine's brother has a close relationship with King Wei."

As he spoke, he looked worried.

Now everyone knows that King Xuan favors the concubine, but the concubine's family members are standing in a very crooked line... This will sooner or later become a hidden disease, and it will only erupt completely one day and become a disaster!

"The concubine told me." King Xuan said.

"What, what? Your Highness, what did you say?" The man raised his head suddenly, and the astonishment on his face became even stronger.

"But why? Why did the concubine..." He couldn't figure it out.

But he found that he could actually see some of His Highness' emotions.

His Highness's eyebrows slightly raised, and the corners of his mouth pursed up, not cold and unhappy, but with... a smile.

In that faint smile, there seemed to be a bit of... showing off?

Show off? ? ?

Then I heard King Xuan say: "You don't know... This Xue Ning should be called He Songning."

He...

The faces of the people standing in front of King Xuan changed drastically.

"He and Your Majesty..."

"He is Your Majesty's illegitimate son, and his mother's identity is not suitable for being brought to the table, so he was raised in the Xue family." King Xuan paused and said: "This is also what the concubine told me."

They were stunned when they heard this.

But King Xuan continued: "This boy is cruel and ruthless. Although he borrowed the name of the eldest son of the Xue family, he has no brotherly relationship with the concubine."

Someone reacted and whispered: "The concubine also suffered in the Xue family."

King Xuan nodded.

"No wonder! No wonder! Last time, His Highness ordered us to investigate the Imperial Observatory, and His Highness said that it might be related to Xue Ning. We were very confused at that time. This man is very ambitious, and his hands have even reached into the palace."

Another civil official with a long beard couldn't help but show a look of horror as he spoke: "If others knew nothing and let him lie dormant like this, the world only knew that King Xuan and King Wei were fighting... In the future, when he keeps a low profile and becomes great, won't he be a very difficult opponent?"

King Xuan: "Yeah."

It seemed very calm, as if he didn't care about He Songning at all.

Fang Chengzhong suddenly interrupted: "The concubine is really smart, and can tell who is He Songning's man. She told His Highness all these things, which shows how much trust and affection the concubine has for His Highness."

He bit the last few words heavily.

The King Xuan had a reaction.

He nodded slightly, and there seemed to be a hint of smile between his cold eyebrows.

King Xuan praised him, "You said it very well."

Fang Chengzhong: "..."

The case has been solved.

He really came here to show off!

Others were still wondering, how come Fang Chengzhong was the only one who said it was so good?
