Chapter 299: Making Qin a Concubine
elfishly, she chose to believe that Ni Wan had made this decision on her own.“Why…why…you know what my elder brother means to me…” Qin Luoyan’s tears streamed down her face, feeling a sharp pain in he...When the woman with a huge belly appeared in everyone's sight, they all couldn't help but widen their eyes. Even Xiao Shufu was so unbelievable that he opened his mouth wide and couldn't speak.
Because, this woman's appearance was surprisingly eight points similar to Xiao Changyue!
In the world, there are actually people who look so alike, this is not the most important thing. What is truly unacceptable is that this woman is pregnant with Xiao Qing's child.
Xiaoqing, with a woman who looked eight points similar to his biological sister, and had a child...
This was already enough to make people's imaginations run wild, as if in an instant, it revealed the darkest side of Xiao Qing's heart. Things that had been hidden in his heart for many years were exposed to everyone at that moment.
“You, you…” Xiao Shufu was so angry that he couldn’t speak. Now the most important person in the Xiao family was his eldest son. This eldest son was also capable, excelling in all aspects. That’s why at a young age, he was entrusted with an important task and became the commander of the Xiao family army. However, he never expected that there was such a secret hidden deep in this eldest son’s heart.
Xiao Qing knew that some things could no longer be hidden, so he just gritted his teeth and lowered his head, not saying a word.
Xiao's patriarch saw his submissive appearance, and was even more furious. He trembled with rage, pointing at his nose and shouting: "Unfilial son! Unfilial son! How could the Xiao family produce two such useless things!"
Xiao Qing was still lowering her head and remained silent. She just stood blankly in the center of the hall, her back giving off a feeling of a hero's twilight years.
"Grand Marshal Xiao, why are you scolding the young general What's so big of a deal about men loving women It's just a woman, marry her home." Fu Zimu spoke standing up without any discomfort, deliberately wanting to anger Grand Marshal Xiao. Who didn't know that this wasn't just an issue of one woman, but that Xiao Qing actually liked his own sister!
In the hall, officials had already stepped forward. They looked down upon such things, and those scholar-officials, being great scholars, also felt quite averse to it. So for a time, those who impeached Xiao Qing knelt in nearly half the hall.
A grand scene of Xiao's family offering a humble apology for their sins, instead turned into a spectacle where everyone ganged up on them.
The woman standing two zhang away from Xiao Qing stared at him with a cold face. She had always believed that Xiao Qing loved her, so even when the people around Xiao Qing set up a trap to kill her, she thought it was those people who looked down on her background and wanted to deal with her for Xiao Qing.
Even as she neared death, she believed it wasn't Xiao Qing who had betrayed her. Only at this moment did she realize that Xiao Qing's kindness was merely because she resembled his younger sister...
"Ha ha…" The woman with a large belly seemed unable to accept this reality, and she burst into laughter, her voice filled with such desolation that even the men in the court felt pity for her.
"Unfilial son! Unfilial son!" Xiao Shufu's mouth kept uttering these words, his anger reaching its peak. He grabbed the long sword on the ground and raised it to kill Xiao Qing, but as the sword hung in the air, he hesitated and couldn't bring himself to strike down.
Even a tiger doesn't eat its own cubs, let alone this Xiao Shoufu, who would harm his only legitimate son! Where could Xiao Shoufu find the heart to do such a thing.
Fu Zi Mo let out a soft hum, still calmly playing with his jade ring, "Alright, Prefect Xiao, things have come to this. Having the Xiao family army in such hands is also a desecration of imperial power. This time, how you choose, this king believes Prefect Xiao is a smart man."
Here, Shao Shufu naturally knew that the situation was irreversible. There was no chance for him to turn things around. If he didn't take the initiative to plead guilty now, when the Emperor found out, not only would there be no change, but they would also find themselves in a passive position! If he feigned repentance first and then retreated to the border with the Xiao family army...
"Oh, by the way, Lord Xiao, I forgot to tell you, General Xiao deserted his post and left the border. This king has already had people gather evidence against him. When he left the border, this king's men took over the Xiao family army." Fu Zi Mo said it casually, but it shocked all the officials present so much that they forgot to move.
The Xiao family army, as the strongest military force in Nanyue, earned its reputation on the battlefield. Yet, Emperor Wuxuan simply stated that he had taken control of the Xiao family army so casually
This means that Fu Zimuo may have been planning for today's situation for a very, very long time, longer than anyone could imagine.
This time, Xiao Qingcai finally raised his head, looking at Fu Zimo's eyes as if he were a monster. "You, you, it's impossible. There are so many descendants of the Xiao family in my Xiao General's mansion. Even if I leave alone, the Xiao General is not something you can just touch..."
He remained silent, not because he was afraid. A man who had spent years on the battlefield killing enemies would never allow himself to die so disgracefully. He had already planned that if things went awry, he would raise an army in rebellion. With the Xiao family's soldiers at his command, it was uncertain who would ultimately prevail.
“Xiao family’s children” Fu Zimo’s face showed a mocking smile. “Do you think I could take over the Xiao family army so quickly without the help of the Xiao family’s children It's strange that Headmaster Xiao always spoils you so much. In Headmaster Xiao's eyes, it seems that you and Xiao Changyue are his real children, while the others are just products of a fleeting affair. So, do you think how many in the Xiao family's children are willing to sacrifice their future for you”
Disaster originates from within the walls, and the rot of a great tree often begins inside. Fu Zimu has prepared for so many years, and now looking at the Xiao family, it is nothing more than a hollow shell with only appearances.
Xiao Qing staggered back after hearing his words, barely managing to fall to the ground beside Xiao Shufu, who had already fainted from a mouthful of blood.
In the grand hall, the fate of the Xiao family had been sealed. As the head of the civil officials, Xiao's position as chief was untenable given the scandal that had rocked his family. Furthermore, Xiao Qing, for committing such an act, was stripped of his command over the Xiao Army. Both were removed from their positions.
For this outcome, none was more pleased than Fu Zi Heng. To become the Dragon Prince, one must control all the armies. The Xiao family army had always been a thorn in his side. Now that this had happened, he felt a little more at ease.
"Your Majesty," Fu Zimo said lightly when Fu Zi Heng was feeling satisfied.
Fu Zi Heng looked over in surprise, and then heard Fu Zi Mo say seriously, “This king will divorce his wife!”
"This is also to be expected. For Xiao Changyue and a performer to do such a thing is indeed a disgrace to the royal family's honor. As for this matter, I..."
Before Fu Ziheng could finish his words, Fu Zimu's voice rang out, "This King also wants to elevate Consort Qin to the position of Principal Wife!"
