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

Chapter 2 Betrayal
After tidying up his appearance, Xie Jiu returned to the main hall.

Yang hurriedly asked her to sit down and have a meal together.

"Tell me, why did you rush back so early in the morning?" Xie Mingshen asked.

Xie Jiu just picked up the chopsticks and put them down again, lowering her eyes slightly. "My daughter had a nightmare. She dreamed that her parents were murdered. She was terrified, so she rushed back to the mansion early this morning. Now that she has seen her parents, she feels a little relieved. It was my impetuousness."

When she said this, Xie Mingshen seemed to be eating the food in his bowl, but his eyes were staring at her expression, obviously trying to carefully judge the truth of her words.

Realizing this, Xie Jiu pursed her lips and deliberately acted like the coquettish girl she used to act when she was in the boudoir.

"I know I was wrong, but Dad, I'm just worried about you!"

Seeing this, Xie Mingshen's eyes seemed to relax a little. He took the initiative to put a piece of food into Xie Jiu's bowl with chopsticks, and then whispered.

"It's not that Father wants to lecture you. When the current emperor raised an army as a vassal king, the Wu family followed the emperor's orders to suppress the rebellion. If Wu Que hadn't surrendered voluntarily after your father-in-law died, how could he have saved his life?"

Xie Mingshen spoke in a serious and earnest manner.

"His title was only reluctantly retained by the Emperor to show his goodwill towards his former ministers. If the Emperor becomes displeased one day, he could strip it of its title. If you act so rashly, and someone finds fault with you and reports him, wouldn't that just lead to trouble?"

"It's not as serious as you said." Yang was about to speak for her daughter when Xie Mingshen glanced at her and she stopped talking abruptly.

"Don't talk while eating and don't talk while sleeping." Xie Mingshen withdrew his gaze.

After he said this, Xie Jiu had no choice but to suppress his emotions and eat in silence.

When the breakfast was almost over, the housekeeper came back from outside.

After entering the room, he whispered in Xie Mingshen's ear.

After hearing what the housekeeper said, a look of vigilance flashed across Xie Mingshen's eyes. Then he put down his chopsticks and said to Xie Jiu.

"It's really inappropriate for you to come back from your husband's house so hastily today. Now that you've seen me and your mother, you should feel at ease. I'm going to court, so I'll take you back to Weiyuan Marquis Mansion on the way."

These words sounded so high-sounding that Xie Jiu could find no fault with them.

But he was so anxious that he wanted to send her back to Weiyuan Marquis Mansion in person. It seemed more like he was afraid that she would run away.

Xie Jiu naturally refused to go back to that den of wolves and tigers, but he was already suspicious of his father and didn't dare to reveal the truth easily. In order to delay for a while and find a way to get out, Xie Jiu asked to go change clothes.

Xie Mingshen naturally couldn't stop her from doing this, so he had to let her go and come back quickly.

As soon as Xie Jiu came out of the house, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure, who quickly left through the side door of the yard.

"It's Butler Chen's son!" Qingfang exclaimed in a low voice.

At that time, Xie Jiu had already seen clearly that the other party was from Weiyuan Marquis Mansion. His scalp tightened immediately and he grabbed Qingfang's hand, signaling her to be quiet.

But why are the servants from Weiyuan Marquis Mansion here at this moment?
Xie Jiu shuddered.

I'm afraid that her father saw her returning in a hurry early in the morning and suspected that she knew something, so he hurried to confirm the news with Weiyuan Marquis' Mansion.

Although she was unwilling to believe all her analysis, the facts were right in front of her and she could no longer lie to herself.

Her family, her biological father, may have already colluded with her husband's family.

No wonder, no wonder, in her previous life, before she died, she angrily denounced Wu Que for being shameless and threatened him with the power of the Xie family, trying to force Wu Que to stop, but the other party remained indifferent and was not afraid at all.

When she thought about her tragic death, she hoped that her family would come to save her. When she woke up after being reborn, the first thing she did was to flee back to her family's home to seek shelter. Xie Jiu felt a chill in her heart.

It turns out that from the beginning to the end, no matter which side she was on, she was the one who was abandoned.

It's ridiculous that she ran back and ended up putting herself in another cage.

Are we just going to surrender like this?
Xie Jiu gritted his teeth and returned to the house, trying to argue one last time, "Dad, I want to talk to Mom for a while. I'll go back to the Marquis' Mansion later, so you don't have to send me off."

But Xie Mingshen stood up and said, "Let's go. Your father has something to say to you on the way."

There was no room for rejection in his tone.

And those eyes were fixed on Xie Jiu, without a single mistake, as if a cage was locked around him, making people feel clearly that they could not escape even if they had wings.
