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

Chapter 25 Now She is the Chess Player

Wu Qingchan naturally didn't dare to go.

Who does she think she is? How dare she speak to the emperor?

A feeling of regret surged in Wu Qingchan's heart, and she regretted it again.

Why did you act so impulsive?
I was angry, regretful, and ashamed. My face was burning as if I had been slapped hard.

But she had no choice but to open her mouth shamelessly.

"Sister-in-law, I was wrong. I was really too anxious. Please..."

"go out."

Xie Jiu was too lazy to look at her again.

Even if there was no grudge, she really couldn't like Wu Qingchan anymore and was annoyed by the sight of her.

Before Wu Qingchan could say anything, Qingfang came forward and started to chase the person out.

Now the maids in the courtyard were so afraid of offending Xie Jiu that they became more obedient than before and came to help immediately.

He pushed the man out in a few seconds.

"Finally, it's quiet now. I thought she had really figured it out, but she still can't see the situation clearly." Qingfang rolled her eyes.

Chunrong sneered, "It's as if everyone owes her something. She only needs to bow her head a little and everyone else will work hard for her."

Listening to the two maids' words, Xie Jiu seemed indifferent and curled his lips slightly.

"Alright, there's no need to get angry with her. Wu Que is doomed this time, and it will definitely bring trouble to the entire Wu family. This young lady's life will not be easy in the future."

There is indeed something wrong with this statement.

Chunrong and Qingfang felt much better after listening to this.

But soon, the attentive Chunrong thought of something else and couldn't help but worry, "But Madam, you are still a member of the Marquis' Mansion. Will you be implicated as well? What if the Emperor breaks his promise to you?"

What should we do if Zhao Xingjin goes back on his word and kills Xie Jiu and Wu Que at the same time?
After all, Xie Jiu is still a wife of the Wu family, not a concubine of Zhao Xingjin. Their relationship cannot be made public, and if she acts dishonestly, no one will recognize her.

Since Chunrong didn't know all the entanglements of interests between Xie Jiu and Zhao Xingjin, it was normal for her to have such concerns.

"Good sister, you are really the most attentive." Xie Jiu teased Chunrong. Of course, she was also touched by Chunrong's concern for her, so she comforted her, "Don't worry, I know everything."

Seeing that she was calm and composed, Chunrong stopped asking questions.

Xie Jiu then instructed, "Don't worry about the things here, send a message to my parents first."

After he finished speaking, he thought for a moment, then waved Qingfang to come forward and whispered a few words.

Then Qingfang left the house and went to the Xie family.

Xie Mansion.

In the study, Xie Mingshen had just finished listening to Qingfang's message, and a look of understanding appeared on his face.

"No wonder Wei Zhang said all that nonsense to me. He was just venting his anger on me because of his daughter."

"That day, the young lady met Concubine Wei in the palace and did not offend her at all. However, Concubine Wei showed that she disliked the young lady and her words were quite sharp. Later, the emperor also said that Concubine Wei had sent a message to her family outside the palace, asking her father to advise the emperor not to keep the young lady by his side to serve her." Qingfang said.

Xie Mingshen narrowed his eyes, his eyes slightly dark. "This old thief Wei, relying on the different relationship between himself and the emperor, is now thinking that the former court and the harem are all in the hands of his Wei people. Not only is he eyeing my position as the Prime Minister, he also wants to prevent Jiuer from entering the palace. He is really ambitious."

Qingfang didn't respond, but just pretended to comfort her.

"But Master, don't worry too much. The Emperor has spoken to the young lady about having the Supervisory Office investigate Master. This is just a formality. It wouldn't be nice to offend Master Wei. Furthermore, the evidence of the Weiyuan Marquisate's guilt is irrefutable. Our Xie family and the Marquisate are related by marriage, after all. It's inevitable that others will speculate. It would be better to investigate. This will prove Master's innocence and prevent future gossip."

After hearing this, Xie Mingshen's expression relaxed a little. He nodded and let Qingfang go back.

However, before Qingfang left, she met someone around Yang in a secluded place.

It looked like a chance encounter, a quick glance, but if you look closely, you can see that Qingfang's expression changed a little after seeing the people around Yang.

Sure enough, as soon as Qingfang returned to Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, she brought back a new piece of news for Xie Jiu.

"The master wants to select a girl of appropriate age from the Xie family and send her to the palace. He says he is worried that you will be unable to support the palace alone."

Xie Jiu sneered after hearing this. "What do you mean by 'I can't handle it alone'? You're just worried that I'll remain nameless and unreputable, and eventually be disliked by the Emperor, so he can no longer reap the benefits. So, why send someone into the palace? Perhaps he's planning on having me smooth things over for him."

In Xie Mingshen's eyes, his daughter is really a pure commodity and a pawn. He is always thinking about how to squeeze all the benefits out of her.

And he insisted on doing it under the pretext of doing it for her own good.

It's disgusting.

Qingfang also looked unhappy at this moment, "You are right, but Madam also told me not to worry, Madam will not let the Master send anyone to the palace."

"There's no need to worry. He's being watched by the Supervisory Commission right now and has no time to arrange these things." Xie Jiu said indifferently.

Another thing is, even if Xie Mingshen wanted to send someone into the palace, he would never be able to do that as long as she was there.

Previously, he, as her biological father, had resorted to despicable means to force her into the palace. Now that she has entered the palace, the entire prosperity of the Xie family will be in her hands.

Now, she is the chess player.

Prison Department of Punishment.

Wu Que, who had been locked up for a whole day, was now huddled in a corner with a gloomy face, not saying a word.

"Come on, come on, it's time to eat!"

The jailer came over with a small cart and dropped a bowl of rotten rice and a bowl of vegetables that looked like slop.

Wu Que glanced at him without moving, but the sinister look in his eyes became more intense.

"You're already here, and you're still picking?" the jailer scoffed. "If you don't want to eat, well, keep these two bowls and I'll bring them to you tomorrow!"

As he said this, he took away the food and left without forgetting to make a few sarcastic remarks.

"You spineless thing, why are you pretending so much? You're so afraid of death that you led your troops to surrender. I've only seen one such general in my life, and he's from a noble family. Pah! He's worse than a dog! No wonder my wife ran away. If I were a woman, I wouldn't look down on such a useless and evil-minded person!"

The sound entered Wu Que's ears, like steel needles piercing his heart, making him feel humiliated and angry.

It's all Zhao Xingjin's fault. If he hadn't wanted to rebel, he would still be a glorious prince of a noble family. Who in the capital would dare to go against his Wu family?

When the Wu and Xie families married, they formed a powerful alliance and were the envy of others.

But now all this has become a joke. Who in the capital doesn't know that Xie Jiu cheated on him?

How glorious it once was, how miserable it is now.

Wu Que wished he had died on the battlefield so that he could have been known as a man who sacrificed his life for his country.

But there is no medicine for regret in the world. When he was afraid of death, he should have expected what the end would be if he survived; when he wanted to sell his wife for fame, he should have thought about the backlash he would suffer after the matter was exposed!
However, people like Wu Que naturally would not think about these things. His heart and eyes were now filled with hatred. He hated Zhao Xingjin and Xie Jiu, but he never thought that his fate today was entirely caused by himself.

And Xie Jiu, whom he hated, didn't take him seriously at all at this time.

The next morning, he went to the palace as usual.
