Chapter 113 Leaving the Xie Family
Chapter 113 Leaving the Xie Family
"Moon? What are you doing?!"
Seeing this scene, Madam Xie frowned. Although they had learned from Xie Longqing, the eldest son of Xie, last night that he had become the emperor's son-in-law, they were still reluctant to give up the Jiang family's vast wealth.
"Grandmother, please don't be offended."
Jiang Yuyue sighed deeply, "I already know everything. I don't know if Yunqi is lucky or unlucky, but he was actually favored by the princess and forced to become a prince consort... If I don't leave, I'm afraid that arrogant Princess Huajin will not let our Xie family off easily. In that case, I can only choose to divorce Yunqi."
At this point, Jiang Yuyue stepped forward and grasped Madam Xie's hand again. "I never thought that I would be unable to continue serving my grandmother in this life. However, since we have a destiny to become family, I will never forget our Xie family."
"If our Xie family ever needs any help in the future, please don't hesitate to ask me. I will always be a part of the Xie family! Please don't stand on ceremony with me, Grandmother!"
Faced with such touching words, Madam Xie hesitated for a moment, then gently patted Jiang Yuyue's hand. "Good child, I know your intentions, but don't rush to pack your things yet. Grandmother still has something to say to Yunqi."
Then, Madam Xie immediately pulled Xie Yunqi aside and said in a low voice, "Yunqi, although your grandmother knows your current situation and that a divorce from her is inevitable, why are you in such a hurry to drive her away?"
“She comes from the Jiang family. If we can get her under control, when her parents come back, why wouldn’t they give us a lot of money? Besides, we’re not doing well these days, as you know. There’s really no need to let her go.”
Xie Yunqi responded to Madam Xie's words with a disdainful smile.
"Grandmother is really senile. What is the Jiang family's money? Now I am the consort of Princess Huajin. Isn't the power in the princess's hands more tempting than that little bit of money? With my current status, it would be a piece of cake to reinstate Father and bring our family back to the capital. Would we still need this money then?"
Upon hearing this, Madam Xie's expression shifted, but she still considered the child in Jiang Yuyue's womb. "But she's still pregnant. At least let her leave the child behind before she goes, right?"
"A child? There was no child at all." Xie Yunqi scoffed. "Her pregnancy was just a misdiagnosis by the doctor, and she only went along with it to please her grandmother and elders. How could she possibly have a child?"
Such shocking news stunned Madam Xie. Although she was disappointed for a moment, she was ultimately relieved.
"Since that's the case, let her go. Without children, the grandmother won't have any worries."
After finishing her conversation with Xie Yunqi, Old Madam Xie clearly changed her attitude. "Yue'er, since you've made up your mind, then Grandmother won't try to persuade you anymore. We don't have many extra people in the family right now, so you should take care of yourself."
Seeing that Madam Xie's temper changed faster than turning the pages of a book, Jiang Yuyue sneered inwardly.
However, she already knew that the Xie family was of such character, so she wasn't surprised. She simply responded and continued packing with Xiao Liu.
Xie Yunqi successfully got Jiang Yuyue to sign the divorce papers, so there was no need to keep them any longer. He turned to leave, intending to take the document back to cheer up Song Jinwan, but was stopped by his mother, Madam Xie.
"Yun Qi, now that you are the imperial son-in-law, when will you take us out of here?"
Madam Xie said urgently, "Our current dilapidated house is even worse than the latrines of the Xie family in the past. If word gets out that the Imperial Son-in-Law's family lives in such a place, it will probably not be good for your reputation."
"That's it!"
Madam Xie hurriedly added, "Since Erlang is still unconscious, Yunqi, would you consider it convenient to invite a good doctor back to give him a proper examination?"
Faced with Madam Xie's request, Xie Yunqi gave her a sharp look, and she immediately fell silent.
It was Xie Jinbo who caused him to lose face in front of Prince Ning, and yet his second aunt still dared to make such a request?
"step by step."
Xie Yunqi's face showed a lot of impatience. "We're going back to the capital soon. You won't be able to live like this for more than a few days. Why waste money? There's no need to go through all that trouble to arrange accommodation for these two days. Just bear with it for now. There will be plenty of places to spend money in the capital later."
After saying this, Xie Yunqi shook off the crowd and left, leaving the group to sigh as they watched his retreating figure.
"I thought that once your son became the emperor's son-in-law, he would bring our whole family to the top."
Having just been humiliated by Xie Yunqi, Madam Xie couldn't help but say sarcastically, "I didn't expect him to refuse to spend money to change our lodgings. Even as a prince consort, he's still so stingy? It seems that being a prince consort is nothing special!"
"No more than that?"
Now that she had more confidence, Madam Xie was no longer willing to give in to her. "Sister-in-law, what you said is quite interesting. Since you look down on my Yunqi for being the imperial son-in-law, then don't come crawling back to begging us to take your second branch to the capital!"
"Why don't you just rely on your own son? Oh, I almost forgot, Erlang is still a cripple. Even if he does wake up, he'll be a useless piece of trash who can't even walk. Forget about him going out to earn money for you; you two will have to support him for the rest of your lives!"
Upon hearing this, Madam Xie's face instantly darkened, and she rolled up her sleeves, looking as if she wanted to fight with Madam Xie.
Fortunately, Xie Zhongchang grabbed her arm, saying, "Why are you arguing with the eldest son's family?! If you really anger them, you can just stay in this dilapidated house in Jinling!"
Seeing that the second wife was holding her anger in, the first wife felt a sense of triumph and pulled Xie Yuan up, saying, "Your brother left quite a bit of money yesterday, let's go out and have a good meal today!"
Xie Yuan always stood on the same side as her mother. She turned around and made a face at Xie Zhi, who was huddled in the corner, and then took the hand of the First Madam and skipped out together.
The arrogant mother and daughter nearly made Madam Xie vomit blood, and she quickly looked at Old Madam Xie.
"Mother, look at what my sister-in-law is saying! Does she no longer consider us family?!"
Madam Xie glanced at her and snorted coldly, "I'd like to advise you to tone it down a bit!"
Unexpectedly, even Old Madam Xie now favors the eldest son's side. Second Madam Xie was stunned, and her hatred intensified.
