Selling wife for fame? Kick out the scumbag and marry the new emperor to enjoy the harem of favors

Chapter 1 Selling Wife for Glory
"My Lord, everything has been prepared. We will be able to send your wife to the palace in two days."

As the sky was just getting light, the housekeeper's voice was faintly heard. In the dim room, the woman on the couch suddenly opened her eyes, her face full of fear.

Looking at the mandarin duck tent that came into view, Xie Jiu was stunned for a moment.

Isn't she dead?
"Madam has a strong temper and will definitely not cooperate properly. We must not let her fail to understand the rules and spoil the emperor's mood."

The voice came to her ears again, it was her husband, Weiyuan Hou Wu Que.

Hatred suddenly surged from the bottom of his heart, sweeping through his limbs and bones, making Xie Jiu tremble all over.

At this moment, Xie Jiu finally confirmed that she was alive again and woke up before Wu Que forced her into the palace.

The conversation outside the door did not stop, and the butler's voice sounded again.

"Don't worry, my Lord. I have prepared the Hehuan Powder. I will have Madam take it before entering the palace. With Madam's beauty, the most stunning in the capital, and the ease with which this Hehuan Powder can be used, she will surely satisfy His Majesty."

His tone was very considerate, and he truly was a loyal servant who was fully committed to relieving Wu Que's worries.

"Jiu'er is my first wife, how could I bear to send her to someone else's bed? But if I don't do this, how can I win the emperor's favor, save the only remaining title of the Weiyuan Marquisate, and the lives of everyone in the Marquisate?"

Wu Que's voice came again, seeming to carry a strong sense of guilt and reluctance.

"My father died in battle, and the new emperor ascended the throne. Although I surrendered and gained some peace, I'm afraid it won't be enough to alleviate his disgust. I heard that he likes beautiful women. I only hope Jiuer can really catch his eye, so that I won't be in vain for having to give her up. However, I will never be able to let my wife down!"

"My Lord, there's no need to blame yourself too much. You're doing this for the future of the Marquisate." Chen Shun whispered to comfort him.

Wu Que sighed, "Forget it. No matter how reluctant I am, I should consider the overall situation and make arrangements. I will send her to the palace on the Qiqiao Festival in five days."

Inside the house, after hearing all this, Xie Jiu's eyes were as cold as frost.

At this time in the previous life, Wu Que, contrary to his usual behavior, wanted to send her to a mountain villa outside Beijing to escape the summer heat, but secretly he was discussing with the housekeeper to send her to the palace to serve the new emperor.

After being discovered by her, Wu Que stopped pretending and immediately wanted to forcibly take her back to the capital.

She struggled to escape, but was eventually forced to the edge of a cliff on the top of a mountain, where she slipped and fell to her death.

Even though he has been reborn, Xie Jiu still remembers clearly the excruciating pain of shattered bones, the fear of bleeding, and the despair of being unable to call for help.

It's a pity that she died so miserably and unwillingly, but she never thought that all this was planned by Wu Que long ago!

Now, hearing the other party's hypocritical words of pretending to be guilty and affectionate, Xie Jiu felt nauseous and wanted to vomit, and the hatred in his chest became hotter and hotter.

At this moment, the door was pushed open with a creak.

Xie Jiu's heart tightened, and he didn't dare to move. He tried his best to suppress his emotions and immediately closed his eyes.

Then the man's deliberately light footsteps were heard as he slowly approached the bed.

Wu Que glanced at the couch and saw that Xie Jiu was still asleep, so he left with peace of mind.

Little did he know that beneath the quilt, the woman's hands were clenched into fists, her nails digging deep into her palms.

After confirming that Wu Que had gone far away, Xie Jiu immediately sat up and turned over to lie down.

Suddenly there was another noise at the door. Xie Jiu gasped in shock and turned around, only to see that it was Chunrong, his maid who came with the dowry.

"Madam, you are up. The Marquis has already gotten up and has just gone to court." Chunrong said.

Seeing that it was someone he trusted, Xie Jiu breathed a sigh of relief. He hurried forward, pulled Chunrong over, and closed the door.

"Quick, call Qingfang, we'll go back to the Xie family immediately!"

In her previous life, the incident happened suddenly and she had no way to escape. Now that she was reborn and knew the danger in advance, she naturally could not sit and wait for death. She had to leave the mansion immediately.

Chunrong saw that she was as flustered as a frightened bird, and did not bother to ask more questions for a moment, and nodded quickly.

Calling Qingfang, another maidservant who came with the dowry, the three of them hurried out of the mansion. At this time, Wu Que was not on guard against her, which allowed Xie Jiu and the other two to leave the mansion easily.

When they arrived at the gate of Xie's house, before the carriage had stopped, Xie Jiu almost jumped out of the carriage, lifted up her skirt and trotted into the gate of Xie's house.

On the way here, Xie Jiu had told the two maids what he had "accidentally heard", so Chunrong and Qingfang were also nervous and annoyed at this moment.

The master and his two servants rushed into the yard of Xie Jiu's mother, Yang, without stopping for a moment, as if they were fleeing.

"mother!"

Before Xie Jiuren even entered the door, he called out anxiously.

At that time, inside the house, Yang was having breakfast with Xie Jiu's father Xie Mingshen.

Suddenly he heard his daughter's voice and was immediately surprised.

"Jiuer? Why are you back at this hour?" Yang immediately put down her chopsticks, stood up and went out.

As soon as I came out, my daughter rushed into my arms.

"Mom!" Xie Jiu had never longed to be by his mother's side as much as he did at this moment. The grievances he had suffered in his previous life, as well as the fear of escaping after being reborn today, gathered into tears at this moment, falling softly, "Mom!"

After coming back to life from the dead, thousands of words were stuck in my throat and I couldn't say them for a moment. I could only repeat this most nostalgic name with grievance.

"Hey, mother is here. What happened to Jiuer? Are you feeling so aggrieved so early in the morning? Did your brother-in-law bully you? Let mother take a closer look!" Yang was really heartbroken to see her daughter like this.

He hurriedly patted his daughter's back and comforted her softly.

At this moment, the voice of his father Xie Mingshen came from the side.

"Why are you back?"

Xie Jiu looked up and saw her father just coming out of the house. He was staring at her with a frown on his face, as if he saw someone who shouldn't be there. There was no concern on his face.

Xie Jiu was stunned and speechless when she saw her father, who used to love her, being unusually indifferent.

"Dad, me"

"Look at you, you're so flustered. What are you doing? You don't act like the mistress of a marquisate at all." Xie Mingshen scolded him in a deep voice, "Go down and wash your face first. Come back when you're done."

Looking at his father who was acting a little abnormally, Xie Jiu felt something was wrong.

When Yang saw her husband's bad tone, she was about to speak to smooth things over, but Xie Mingshen gave her a look that made her shut up in embarrassment.

Seeing this, Xie Jiu's doubts suddenly grew stronger. He swallowed back the words of asking for help and dared not move.

The master and his two servants left the main hall and followed the maid from Yang's courtyard to the side hall to tidy up their appearance.

When leaving, Xie Jiu caught a glimpse of his father calling the housekeeper to his side and whispering something to him. The housekeeper then quickly left the yard.

Look at his hurried look, as if he is going to deliver a message to someone.

Thinking of this, Xie Jiu couldn't help but stop, and a thought that made her feel cold all over suddenly popped up in her mind.

She turned around and called the maid from her mother's courtyard.

"Has the son-in-law come to the house recently?"

"Yes, twice," the maid replied, "but the son-in-law only sat with the master in the study and then left. He didn't come to pay his respects to the mistress. The mistress is very unhappy. Doesn't the young lady know this?"

Hearing this, Xie Jiu couldn't help but tighten his grip on the handkerchief.

I hope it's not what she thinks.
