The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny - Chapter 254

Chapter 254: Let’s Get A Divorce

Xie Pinggang really took this matter to heart. He was thinking of putting in a good word for his younger sister to the Crown Prince some other day.

Although Xie Qiao’s health was lacking, her face was pretty. Perhaps the Crown Prince would give him face on account of his hard work and diligence?

Xie Pinggang felt that his younger sister would not live long, so he naturally had to work hard to fulfill her wish. He also wanted her to die in peace.

On the other side, at this moment, Xie Niushan was returning to the main courtyard with a cold expression.

When he stepped back into the house, he saw Ms. Lu lying on the bed with a sickly look on her face.

Looking at Ms. Lu’s face, it made one’s heart ache. However, when Xie Niushan thought of his own daughter, he did not feel that her face was weak anymore.

If one were to say that she was sickly, Ms. Lu’s appearance was nothing.

Qiao’s face was truly pitiful. As for Ms. Lu…

Xie Niushan was not blind. He could tell that Ms. Lu was faking it. However, there were many times when he did not bother to argue with a woman. Moreover, to him, it was pleasing to the eyes when a woman was delicate.

However, the prerequisite was that this delicate appearance was the pleasure of the bedroom, not to be used to scheme against his daughter.

Xie Niushan entered with a grim expression. Ms. Lu’s heart sank, she immediately felt wronged, “Master, I’ve married into the family for so many years, but I haven’t given birth to a son or daughter for you. I’ve let you down. Now that Qiao hates me so much, I really don’t have a place in this family. I think you should just divorce me!”

Ms. Lu understood that retreating was the best way to advance.

Xie Niushan said, “I won’t divorce you, but you can’t stay in this house anymore. You’ve been divorced once. I reckon that if you divorce me again, you’ll have a miserable time when you go home. Since your daughter doesn’t want to go back to Liaozhou, you two can stay in the capital. I’ll give you a house and some silver. With my name, even if we’re divorced, no one will dare to bully the both of you!”

There were differences between divorcing and being divorced.

As soon as Xie Niushan finished his sentence, Ms. Lu’s face stiffened and she looked at him in disbelief, “What did you say? You want to divorce me?!”

Pei Wanyue was also dumbfounded when she heard that.

Although she felt that the Xie family was born as a bandit, she slowly came to her senses since she could not go to the academy and could only stay in the house alone lately.

Even if Xie Niushan was born as a bandit, he was still better than a commoner.

She still wanted to properly apologize to Uncle Xie and think of a way to come back in the future. However, in the blink of an eye, they were getting a divorce?!

“Didn’t you say so yourself? You asked me to divorce you, but I gave you face. Instead of divorcing you, I chose to do this peacefully. Isn’t that enough?” Xie Niushan said directly.

“What did I do wrong for you to treat me like this?! Since I married you, I was trembling with fear all these years, afraid that I would offend you and your son. Now that you’ve heard two sentences from that little girl, you’re going to turn around and abandon your wife. Xie Niushan, you’re heartless!” Ms. Lu leaped from the bed directly, crying and shouting as she cursed.

Xie Niushan was shocked, but he became calmer after he came to his senses.

“Haven’t you made many mistakes? Earlier, this girl stole something. I didn’t punish her because of you. Because of her, my son is still being bullied by the teacher. He hasn’t become a disciple yet!

“He’s a man, and I don’t want him to be petty about this. I never mentioned it, but this time, you’ve really done it!

“When Eldest Daughter was brought home, I repeatedly reminded you that you’re not allowed to set foot in her courtyard! If you think you can’t get along with her, then don’t bother about her, as long as you don’t shortchange her daily expenses! What did you do to her?! My daughter almost died in your hands, and I shouldn’t divorce you?!”
