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

Chapter 88 I Won’t Be Willing to Endure It for Too Long
"Jieyu." Chunrong bowed.

"Have some tea and take a break." Xie Jiu sat up. "Your face is red with heat. You've worked hard today."

It is still very tiring to go out of the palace to do business.

Qingfang poured a glass of water and handed it to Chunrong. After drinking it, she took a breath and then reported what happened outside today.

"I have already told Master about Brother Liu Baolin's situation today. Master wants someone to write a memorial to report the matter tomorrow."

"He is indeed cautious and unwilling to do it himself." Xie Jiu lowered his eyes, "Have you told him about receiving the envoy?"

Zhao Xingjin mentioned to her that he wanted Xie Mingshen to help select the new person to receive the envoy. The purpose was to let Xie Jiu reveal the news to Xie Mingshen in advance. Xie Jiu naturally would not forget it.

"I said that it was after hearing this that the master said he would take care of the Liu family's affairs." Chunrong said.

Today she went to Xie's house and mentioned that Xie Jiu wanted to help Liu Baolin rescue his brother. Xie Mingshen's first reaction was that he shouldn't get involved, so Xie Jiu gave up the idea.

But Chunrong told him right afterwards that the emperor and Prince Heng were not on good terms with each other. He had mentioned to Xie Jiu more than once that Prince Heng was too successful now, which showed that there was already a rift between the brothers.

After hearing this news, Xie Mingshen began to waver.

Then, Chunrong said that Zhao Xingjin seemed to be dissatisfied with Liang Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and wanted to take the matter of receiving the envoys from the Xichi Kingdom out of the Ministry of Rites and hand it over to someone else, but now he did not have a good reason or opportunity.

Having said that, Xie Mingshen naturally understood.

He analyzed that Xie Jiu was not really trying to help Liu Baolin rescue his brother, but wanted to expose the ugly deeds of the Liang family by rescuing him, so as to create an opportunity for the emperor to take action against Liang Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites.

Another thing is that the Liang family is the Hengwang's father-in-law's family, and the offender Liang Chengyi is the Hengwang's brother-in-law.

If this matter gets out of hand, King Heng will inevitably be implicated.

I think this is something Zhao Xingjin would like to see.

Seeing through this, Xie Mingshen no longer hesitated and said that he would arrange for someone to report to the court tomorrow.

He certainly won't take the lead, he will just add fuel to the fire and encourage from behind when the time comes. This is his usual style.

Xie Jiu lowered his eyes, "It's not a big deal. The people he arranged are not much different from him showing up himself. After all, he still has to speak in public. Who doesn't know that he is behind all this?"

"That's why I didn't try to persuade you too much and asked you to submit the memorial yourself because I was afraid of arousing suspicion." Chunrong said.

Xie Jiu nodded, then asked, "What about my cousin? Is everything settled?"

This refers to the girl from the Xie family who was chosen by Xie Mingshen and wanted to be sent to the palace.

"I think the patient will recover soon." Chunrong replied.

This means it’s done.

But then, Chunrong continued, "Today, before I mentioned this matter to Master, Master took the initiative to mention that he wanted to send someone to the palace to help Concubine Jieyu. He said that the Queen, as the Queen Mother, would need the support of her sisters. Although Concubine Jieyu is favored now, she is afraid that she cannot support herself alone. With the help of her sisters, she will be more stable."

"Oh, you brought it up openly?" Xie Jiu curled his lips, "It seems that the emperor allowed Zhou Baolin to enter the palace, which makes my father even more anxious."

Chunrong nodded, "I didn't say anything at first, but after asking carefully, I heard that the master has selected a few more girls of the right age and is just waiting for the Concubine's approval so that they can be sent here."

Hearing this, Xie Jiu's eyes became even colder. "So how did you answer him?" "The servant said..."

Chunrong blinked, and time went back.

"Her wings are getting stronger and stronger. She even dares to threaten me. I am her father!"

In the study room of the Xie Mansion, after seeing Chunrong off, Xie Mingshen swung his sleeves angrily, his face ashen.

Chunrong just told Xie Mingshen that Xie Jiu asked her to do two things when she left the palace this time, one of which was to inform the Liu and Liang families about the situation.

The second thing was to give Xie Mingshen two pills and ask him to personally deliver them to the girl from the Xie family whom he had chosen. One pill was for curing the disease. After taking it, the girl's disease would be cured, but the side effect was disfigurement. The other pill was fatal. After taking it, the girl would die immediately.

The meaning is very clear. If you want to live, don't even think about entering the palace, or you will die.

"Master, you don't want to make a big deal out of this, do you?" Chunrong smiled and took out a letter from her bosom. "This is from Concubine Jieyu to Master. Please open it yourself."

Xie Mingshen took it with a serious face, and after reading the contents of the letter, his face became completely stiff.

"I'll take my leave." Chunrong lowered her eyes, hiding the smile in her eyes, and turned to leave.

At this moment, Xie Mingshen was still emotionally irritated by the contents of the letter, feeling angry yet powerless.

Xie Jiu told him that he didn't need to think about betting on different chess pieces in the future. If she couldn't get the resources and support of the entire Xie family, she could also destroy everything in front of her.

She was a person who had crawled out of the fire pit of hell. She had already eliminated the Wu family. If her life was not going well, she could just drag the Xie family into the grave with her.

Anyway, Xie Mingshen, as her father, has already abandoned her once, so don't blame me for being the fifteenth if you are the first one.

Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes, but Xie Mingshen is still afraid.

In his opinion, his daughter, who used to be gentle, dignified, and the most polite and law-abiding, could now abandon her sense of shame, climb onto the emperor's bed, bring down her ex-husband, and enter the palace as a concubine. She must have been desperate and ready to give it her all.

Such a person should undoubtedly not be offended.

But Xie Mingshen felt aggrieved. He had always been the one in power, and Xie Jiu was a chess piece in his hands to plan for his wealth. But now he clearly felt out of control. The situation had become that if he wanted to survive, he had to serve his daughter Xie Jiu well, otherwise, they would all die together.

The current situation is completely different from what he had imagined before. He was hoping that Xie Jiu would have to rely on her family and compromise in order to gain a foothold in the harem. But now, Xie Jiu seemed like a madman to him. It seemed that he didn't care whether he had a future or not, and only cared about whether he could be comfortable in the present.

Xie Mingshen cannot afford the loss, so whoever is afraid will give in.

Inside Anqing Hall.

After listening to Chunrong's description of meeting Xie Mingshen today, Xie Jiu just chuckled.

"He's just scared for the moment. The Emperor's change in attitude towards him is due to my favor, so he doesn't dare to confront me too much for now. But in the long run, he won't be willing to listen to my orders. This method only works now."

As a daughter, she also understood Xie Mingshen's temperament. He retreated temporarily because of caution, but his ambition and ruthlessness would not make him endure for too long.

Therefore, if you want to completely control the other party, you have to make further plans.

Chunrong nodded. "I see that the master is suppressing his anger, not willingly. But I also remember one thing. The master doesn't look well. I always feel that his face is slightly sallow, revealing a bit of illness. But when I left the house today, the housekeeper saw me off. I asked a few questions, but the housekeeper said that the master was fine. I think the bad complexion is due to recent fatigue, but I still have doubts in my heart."
