Chapter 809: Chapter 807: Just Confront

If it weren’t for this rebellious girl, Xia Wan would have married the Crown Prince. When the Crown Prince ascends the throne, Wan’er would become the Queen, and he would become the father-in-law of the nation!

An existence revered, flattered, and envied by thousands!

But now, all of it has been utterly destroyed by this rebellious girl from the countryside!

Destroyed!

Mr. Xia was furiously livid, his blood rushing to his head, his body trembling with anger, he wished he could tear these siblings into pieces: "Guards! Lock up Xia Ningxing and Xia Tuandzi! Impose the family punishment!"

The entire Minister Mansion trembled with his roar.

If he doesn’t discipline them, he simply could not calm down!

As the words dropped, guards immediately rushed up and encircled Xia Ningxing and Xia Tuandzi.

A gleam of satisfaction flashed in Madam Xia Song’s eyes, daring to harm her daughter, she would make sure this sibling duo is destroyed this time!

"Oh, what has happened here?"

At this moment, a sharp, shrill eunuch voice rang out.

Everyone instinctively glanced toward the door and saw the most favored Eunuch Zhao from the palace, holding an imperial decree and walking over with a few eunuchs.

"Eunuch Zhao!" Mr. Xia promptly went forward.

"I have seen Minister Xia," Eunuch Zhao lifted the corner of his eye, giving him a small gesture of respect.

This was the emperor’s most trusted Grand Eunuch, Mr. Xia dared not let him bow, hurriedly went forward to support him: "Eunuch Zhao, please rise. May I ask what brings you here this time?"

Mr. Xia tentatively inquired, somehow having a bad feeling in his heart.

Eunuch Zhao, with a dusting of powder on his face, revealed a grim smile and met his gaze: "Don’t worry, Minister Xia, it’s good news. Minister Xia, you should promptly come forward to receive the decree."

With an anxious heart, Mr. Xia hurriedly led his entire family to receive the decree.

Xia Ningxing and Xia Tuandzi were no exception.

Eunuch Zhao unrolled the bright yellow imperial decree and announced in a high-pitched voice: "By the mandate of heaven, the emperor decrees: Today, Prince Tingli has brought to my attention that Minister of Public Works Xia Feng’s legitimate daughter, Xia Ningxing, is gentle, virtuous, educated, compassionate, and stunningly beautiful, having won his heart at first sight. Always eager to facilitate good unions, I hereby grant Xia Ningxing to Prince Tingli to be his wife, selecting an auspicious date for their wedding, thus it is decreed!"

Eunuch Zhao’s piercing voice echoed throughout the entire Minister Mansion.

The Minister Mansion was utterly silent, everyone was stunned.

Did they hear that right?

Prince Tingli actually fancied an unprivileged girl, moreover one from the countryside?

It seems he truly does not wish to compete for the throne!

Otherwise, which prince would choose a primary wife with no backing to support his own ambitions?

Mr. Xia was shocked, unable to believe his eyes, how could Prince Tingli fancy this village girl just coming from the countryside?

Madam Xia Song was furious, now she was already designated as Princess Ningxing, half a member of the royal family, they could no longer arbitrarily impose the family law on her!

Her Wan’er just lost out like that!

At this moment, only Xia Ningxing and Tuanzi were calm in the entire Xia Mansion.

Seeing everyone’s uncomfortable faces, Eunuch Zhao frowned and with a raised voice asked: "Minister Xia, why do you hesitate to receive the decree? Could it be that you have some discontent with the imperial edict?"

"Eunuch Zhao misunderstands, this marriage boon is a blessing, I am too grateful to have any complaints," Mr. Xia was extremely panicked, fearful of being perceived negatively, immediately raised his hand to receive the decree, and continued to flatter: "Please convey my thanks to His Majesty for his generous intention."

After speaking, Mr. Xia also used his gaze to signal the servants to give Eunuch Zhao some reward money.

Eunuch Zhao pinched the Silver in his pouch and smirked with slyness, "Rest assured, we’re on our way."

As he spoke, Eunuch Zhao led the little eunuchs away.

"Please go slowly, Eunuch." Mr. Xia and others hastened to bow deeply.

Xia Ningxing stepped forward and handed out another portion of Silver, "Thank you for coming such a long way, Eunuch. This is a little token of my appreciation, I hope you won’t disdain it."

Since aiming for power and usurpation, it is essential to establish good relations with those closest and most trusted by the Emperor.

Unexpectedly, Eunuch Zhao refused it with a bit of panic, "Miss Xia, this really shouldn’t be done, I only wish that you would speak well of us in front of Prince Tingli in the future."

Eunuch Zhao winked at her.

Xia Ningxing: "..."

Lu Tingli indeed has great abilities; even the Grand Eunuch, who is the most trusted by the Emperor, is his man.

This man truly cannot be underestimated!

Xia Ningxing hid the complexities in her eyes.

Upon returning to Xia Mansion, Xia Ningxing saw Mr. Xia transformed as if into someone else, his face so dark as if dripping ink, coldly questioning her, "You shameless creature, when exactly did you involve with Prince Tingli? You’ve enchanted him so thoroughly that he personally went to petition the Emperor for marriage!"

Now that she has Prince Tingli as a backer, even if he is a Prince without much power or ambition, he won’t be able to easily punish her anymore.

Poor Wan’er still doesn’t know the dreadful days she is going through!

"Who are you calling shameless!" Xia Tuanzi, protective of his sister, immediately burst into flames, his eyes nearly splitting as he stared at him, "Let me tell you, my sister did not seduce Prince Tingli. It was Prince Tingli who, upon seeing my sister, could not walk away and insisted on marrying her forcefully!"

Lu Tingli: "?"

When did this Prince ever act so indecent?

What I did was clearly a threat!

"If you have any complaints, go talk to Prince Tingli, or speak to the Emperor. Why are you being so harsh towards my sister, a frail woman!" Xia Tuanzi, undeterred, retorted back fiercely.

Mr. Xia, who had never been talked back to by any of his children before, was nearly livid to death, stomping his foot angrily, his hand trembling as he pointed at him, "You unfilial son, you’ve really turned the heavens upside down, daring to speak to your own father like this! Guards, punish him according to family law!"

Now that Xia Ningxing is the future Queen, he cannot hit her, but what is Xia Tuanzi in all of this!

Xia Ningxing’s eyes turned cold, shielding Xia Tuanzi in front of her, "If you dare to hit him, you must hit me first!"

"You think just because you are soon to become Princess Ningxing, I, the Minister, can do nothing to you?" Mr. Xia shouted, his face red and neck thick.

"If you aren’t afraid of Prince Tingli blaming you later, then go ahead and touch us siblings!" Xia Ningxing fearlessly met his gaze.

It was a gamble; he truly didn’t dare to confront Prince Tingli directly.

Sure enough, Mr. Xia ultimately did not insist on implementing family law, glaring fiercely at the siblings before storming off with his sleeves flung angrily.

Madam Xia Song clenched her teeth until they nearly shattered, her eyes venomous.

What a case of the dog relying on its master’s power!

She would definitely not let this vile woman successfully ascend to a higher status!

Madam Xia Song left with a handkerchief twisted in her hands, filled with hatred.

Xia Tuanzi muttered, "Didn’t expect that man’s name to be so useful."

Xia Ningxing smiled lightly.

Although she could have avoided this disaster even without any backing, having such support indeed felt wonderful!
