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

Chapter 4 Extremely Shameless

Night falls.

Just as the gate of Weiyuan Marquis Mansion was about to close, the gatekeeper saw a group of people running towards this side quickly.

The leader was dressed like a eunuch and looked like he came from the palace.

The gatekeeper did not dare to delay and hurriedly reopened the door, respectfully welcomed him out, and sent someone to report the news inside the mansion.

A moment later, Wu Que hurried in from the courtyard. He had already finished bathing and was lying down by this time. He couldn't help but feel nervous about the sudden arrival of someone from the palace.

When he saw the people who were already sitting in the outer hall drinking tea, a smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Eunuch Qing, why are you here at this hour? What does the Emperor want?"

The visitor was Qingdong, the second-in-command of Chengming Palace and Yang Zhian’s apprentice.

Seeing Wu Que coming, Qing Dong took another sip of tea, then stood up with a smile on his face and bowed, "I'm here to congratulate the Marquis."

"Why are you so happy?" Wu Que looked puzzled.

Qing Dong simply handed over a bright yellow scroll, "Your Majesty will know for yourself once you see it."

Wu Que's face changed immediately. It was an imperial edict.

Feeling extremely nervous, Wu Que did not dare to delay and took it immediately.

After a quick look, he immediately looked up at Qingdong, his eyes showing panic and confusion.

"Father-in-law, what does this mean?"

Why would the emperor suddenly order Xie Jiu to enter the palace to be Princess Wenxi's tutor?

Qing Dong continued to smile, speaking calmly, "Madam came to the palace tonight and had a very pleasant conversation with the Emperor. The Emperor admired Madam's talent and virtue, so he specially summoned her to the palace to serve as the Princess's tutor. The virtuous Consort passed away young, and the Princess was greatly loved by the Emperor. Madam's ability to tutor Princess Wenxi shows that the Emperor trusts her talent and knowledge!"

Speaking of this, Qingdong narrowed his eyes and said deliberately.

"It's just that Madam needs to accompany the princess for a while, so I'm afraid she will have to stay in the palace for a while. My Lord, please don't worry too much about her."

These words flooded into Wu Que's mind, and he felt as if struck by lightning.

No, this is not right. Isn't Xie Jiu still staying in the mansion? He will be presented to the emperor in two days. Why did he suddenly go to the palace tonight?
Wu Que quickly glanced at the butler Chen Shun standing beside him. Chen Shun was also confused at this time.

The one he sent into the palace tonight was clearly the skinny Yangzhou horse named Yan'er, how could it have turned out to be Xie Jiu?!
"Why, Lord Marquis, are you unhappy?" Qing Dong saw Wu Que's face turn pale and no longer smiling, and his face immediately darkened. "Lord Marquis, among all the wives of officials in the court, this is a unique favor from the emperor. Do you think that it is a burden for you to come to the palace to teach the princess?"

Qingdong's words were like a blow to the head, which made Wu Que dazed and cold sweat suddenly broke out on his back.

Even though he hadn't figured out the current situation, he didn't dare to delay any longer. He quickly put away the imperial edict and spoke respectfully immediately.

"No, no, my Lord, you misunderstood. It was just that the incident happened suddenly and I was surprised for a moment. It is my wife's blessing and the honor of the Marquis' Mansion to be summoned by the Emperor to teach the princess."

When saying this, Wu Que almost gritted his teeth, his face looking as if he had eaten a fly.

Seeing that he was quite sensible, Qingdong smiled with a hint of satisfaction.

"Well, now that I've informed the Marquis, I have to return to the palace to report. Madam is staying in the palace for a while, and without anyone familiar to serve her, I'm afraid it would be inconvenient. I'm here to take Madam's personal maid back with me."

"Yes, yes, it's my duty." Wu Que nodded, with a smile on his face that was uglier than crying.

Someone was sent to fetch Chunrong and Qingfang. After they had left, Wu Que slumped down on a chair, trembling and gasping for breath.

Just as Chen Shun was about to step forward to comfort him, he was kicked in the heart by him. He screamed and fell heavily to the ground.
"You cunting slave, you've ruined my plan!" Wu Que was extremely angry at this moment and kicked him again.

Originally, he offered Xie Jiu. If Zhao Xingjin took a liking to Xie Jiu, he would definitely reward him for his contribution in offering beauty. But now Xie Jiu offered himself on his own initiative. How could Zhao Xingjin give him any credit?

And the imperial edict that Qingdong sent just now, about a special summons to the palace to teach the princess, it was obvious that Zhao Xingjin had forcibly taken my wife away, and he even made up such a high-sounding excuse, forcing him to express gratitude even though he was cuckolded. It was so shameless!
As for Xie Jiu's voluntary sacrifice, it made Wu Que even more angry at this moment.

"Bitch, this bitch! How dare you be so shameless and unchaste!"

He cursed and shouted, smashing the decorations in the hall to the ground, but this did not change anything.

After he had vented his anger, he fell powerlessly into the mess. In the palace, Chunrong and Qingfang had already reunited with Xie Jiu in a side hall of Chengming Palace.

"Miss!" Qingfang hugged Xie Jiu, crying with tears in her eyes, "Miss, you have been wronged!"

Chunrong also kept wiping the corners of her eyes, but she still reminded, "Speak softly, or someone might hear you and cause trouble."

Yes, no matter what happens inside, on the surface, entering the palace is a blessing, so how can you mention the word "grievance"?

Especially now we are in Chengming Palace.

"Chunrong is right. The palace has strict rules. We are still in a difficult situation and cannot be careless." Xie Jiu held the two people on the left and right, with a slight redness in the corners of his eyes.

After the master and servants comforted each other, Xie Jiu asked about the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion.

Knowing that Wu Que was so angry that his face was ferocious, but he didn't dare to breathe in front of Qing Dong, and was holding it in like a coward, Xie Jiu's disgust for this man suddenly increased.

"Does he think this is the end? Just wait and see. The excitement in Weiyuan Marquis Mansion is still to come."

Upon hearing this, Chunrong and Qingfang felt secretly relieved, and the annoyance on their faces dissipated a lot.

But after calming down, Qingfang looked at Xie Jiu with concern again, and said hesitantly, "Your Majesty, he didn't hurt you, did he?"

When Qingfang asked this, Xie Jiu's brows furrowed slightly.

"The Emperor did not touch me."

In fact, Xie Jiu was also a little anxious at the moment.

She originally thought that Zhao Xingjin was not a drunkard or a womanizer, so she only needed to exchange interests with him and did not have to sacrifice herself.

After all, she had been married before. As an emperor, Zhao Xingjin had all kinds of women around him. How could he really be interested in her?

But unexpectedly, Zhao Xingjin kept her in the palace.

She said she was the princess's tutor, but anyone with a discerning eye could tell that she was just looking for an excuse to keep her in the palace?
But Zhao Xingjin didn't touch her. Could it be that he was planning to visit her another day?
But Xie Jiu vaguely felt that Zhao Xingjin seemed to have other intentions towards her.

But Xie Jiu was still confused and couldn't figure out what Zhao Xingjin was trying to do.

But no matter what, she must live well first, and if she has a chance to start over, she should cherish her life even more.

There will be plenty of time in the future to slowly repay the pain you have suffered a thousand times over.

No one who has hurt her can escape!
