The subtle fragrance of cotton needles

Chapter 163: Divorce at this age

"Mother, Yan'er is not worried about this," Xia Yanxiang wanted to cry but had no tears, "With uncle here, Yan'er will definitely be able to leave."

"Yan'er was just thinking that by then, Xia Pinxiang and Prince Yuan might also come."

"Prince Yuan? Aren't Prince Yuan and Xia Pinxiang under house arrest now? I'm divorcing your father, so what are they doing here?" Tu Ling was puzzled. Even if she and Xia Liu divorced, it would affect Xia Liu's future, but Prince Yuan didn't need to go against the emperor's arrangement for Xia Liu.

Xia Yanxiang doesn't think so.

Who is Mo Yuyang? Could he watch the connection with the Tu family that he finally established be cut off? Even if he had to come secretly, Mo Yuyang would definitely come.

Not to mention Xia Pinxiang, this is a good opportunity for her aunt to be promoted to the principal wife, which also means that in the Xia family, Xia Pinxiang will also be the legitimate daughter in the future.

Xia Pinxiang has been bothered by her identity for many years, so how could she let this divorce fail?

By then, the scene was quite chaotic.

Even if Xia Yanxiang no longer has any influence, she can at least give some advice to prevent Xia Liu and Mo Yuyang from causing trouble.

"Mother, let Yan'er go with you!" Xia Yanxiang was not in a position to say too much to Tu Ling, so she could only beg Tu Ling vaguely, "If father doesn't allow me to leave the Xia Mansion, I can also express my intention."

"Silly boy, of course we won't go there by ourselves. The government officials will also go there. After all, the dowry account book is archived in the government. When the government officials go there, they will naturally decide whether you stay or go."

Xia Yanxiang knew it, but if she didn't go, how could she get Liu Ying and her son out?

"Mother..." Xia Yanxiang wanted to say something but was stopped by Tu Ling.

"Don't worry, everything will go well."

When Tu Song and Tu Ling went to Xia's house, they chose a day off, and they also specially handed a visiting card to Xia Liu. If Xia Liu was not there, it would be hard to explain.

Xia Yanxiang originally wanted to go there secretly, but was discovered by Tu Xiao, who ordered her to stay in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion to rest.

What should I do?

When they arrived at the Xia Mansion, only the housekeeper was waiting to greet them at the door. Upon seeing this, Tu Song snorted with disdain. Xia Liu was really arrogant!

A group of people gathered at the gate of Xia's house to watch the fun. It seemed that everyone wanted to know the outcome of this matter.

"Hey, do you think this divorce will be successful? I have never heard of a couple getting divorced after living together for more than 20 years."

"That's right! General Pu Wei has already achieved success and fame, and Miss Three has officially become the fiancée of His Royal Highness Prince Luo. What do you think Madam Tu is thinking? Why does she want to divorce at this age?"

"Keep your voice down! Don't you know that the people next to Madam Tu are the Right Prime Minister and his wife? If you keep gossiping, you'll lose your life!"

"What are you thinking? Madam Tu has the support of her brother from her natal family. If she can't live together anymore, can't she just get a divorce?" A rebuttal voice seemed out of place among the crowd. "Besides, if Madam Tu is really living well in the Xia Mansion, why would she ask for a divorce now?"

"That's right!"

"..."

There were all kinds of gossip, but since Tu Ling had made the decision to divorce, she knew that these words would be waiting for her.

"Brother, let's go in!" Tu Ling held his head high and stepped into the place where he had lived for more than 20 years.

Tu Song nodded, with a gloomy face, and entered the Xia Mansion first.

Shen was so angry that she gritted her teeth but still went in.

When they arrived at the main hall, Xia Liu, Xia Pinxiang and Mo Yuyang were waiting.

Tu Song snorted in his heart. No wonder Xia Liu only sent a housekeeper to meet them at the door.

"This old minister greets His Royal Highness Prince Yuan."

"Your Highness Prince Yuan, your humble servant greets you."

"No need to be so polite." Mo Yuyang also took a great risk to come here. If Mo Cheng knew about this, all his house arrest during this period would be in vain.

As for Xia Pinxiang, she was a concubine of the Xia family and only a side concubine, so Tu Song and Tu Ling had no intention of paying homage to her.

Seeing that the two men had no intention of bowing to her, Xia Pinxiang was about to lose her temper on the spot, but was held down by Mo Yuyang.

"Shouldn't your highness Prince Yuan be cultivating himself in Prince Yuan's Mansion now? Why did you suddenly come to Xia Mansion?" After Tu Song retracted his actions, he started to attack directly.

Mo Yuyang knew this would happen, and he was still somewhat embarrassed. He coughed and cleared his throat: "The concubine is going back to her parents' home today, so I'll come and see her."

No one would believe this if you said it to others.

The news that Tu Ling and Xia Liu were going to divorce had already spread throughout the capital, and now Mo Yuyang showed up at Xia's residence on the day of the divorce. Could it be a coincidence?

"It's a coincidence that Your Highness has come here. Today I am here to discuss divorce with the Minister of Rites." Tu Song didn't hesitate and sat down directly.

Shen was not as patient as Tu Song, and snorted loudly: "It seems that His Royal Highness Prince Yuan really has time to spare. He even dared to come to the house of a court minister when he was under house arrest by the emperor."

"If the Emperor knew about this, I wonder how long His Royal Highness Prince Yuan would be confined to his house? Ah, maybe it's more than just confinement!

Shen's weird attitude made Mo Yuyang somewhat dissatisfied, but he couldn't say anything.

After all, Mo Yuyang's sneaking out was a violation of the imperial order.

"My uncle and aunt are really good at speaking. Your Highness just accompanied me back to my parents' home. Why do you make it sound so serious?" Xia Pinxiang was dissatisfied with Tu Song and Shen's arrogance and couldn't help but retort.

"Concubine, you'd better shut up! After all, you are also under house arrest. His Royal Highness Prince Yuan is still a prince after all, and the Emperor may be more lenient with him. But it may not be the case with you." Shen said bluntly with a smile on her face.

Xia Pinxiang still had the nerve to jump out. Mo Yuyang sneaked out against the emperor's order. They would temporarily not say anything because Mo Yuyang was a prince. Who the hell is Xia Pinxiang? How dare she shout here!

"You guys!" Xia Pinxiang was angry. She was a concubine above all others! How dare Shen treat her like this!

Shen glanced at Xia Pinxiang with disdain, looking down on her desperate look, and waved her handkerchief impatiently.

"If the concubine does not know how to bow her head, you may as well continue."

Mo Yuyang glared at Xia Pinxiang, signaling her not to speak anymore. Xia Pinxiang then shut up reluctantly.

Tu Ling watched this scene coldly. It seemed that what Yan'er said was right. This Prince Yuan was really not afraid of death.

Xia Liu hadn't said a word. No one else spoke at this moment, so he remained silent.

"What's the matter, Lord Shangshu? Don't you know the purpose of our coming to the Xia Mansion?" Tu Song suddenly spoke and scolded Xia Liu loudly.

Tu Song's face showed undisguised disgust and dissatisfaction, and even more so jealousy towards villains like Xia Liu.
