one. Once he falls into the hands of Qianji Pavilion, I can make him die whenever I want! I'll have him taken for a spin in hell before slowly letting him die." Ye Wuhuan's voice when speaking to Xia..."Father!" Xiao Yufu was stunned by the slap, but her legs obediently knelt down.

"Grandfather!" At this moment, Madam Xiao, who had rushed over upon hearing the news, hurried forward to support Xiao Yufu: "What are you doing"

"Ask her what good things she's done!" Xiao Zhan was also exasperated. This kind of thing happened on the first day of the new year, how could it not be upsetting.

Qianting Xuan's face was cold, with no intention of stopping. Clearly, a mere slap hadn't quelled the anger burning in his heart!

“I didn’t push her! She fell by herself! Why don’t you believe me!” Xiao Yufu didn’t know how she could make everyone believe her, she could only scream hoarsely. Like a shrew from the market, her appearance was unsightly.

“How dare you!” Xiao Zhan was so angry his head was about to smoke. If Xiao Yufu had been willing to apologize at this point, perhaps everything could have been resolved. But she refused to budge, only fanning the flames in the King’s heart. This unyielding attitude would bring trouble to the entire Xiangfu.

"Daddy!"

Just as Xiao Zhan was about to hit Xiao Yu Fu again, Xiao Yu Ge stepped in and stopped him: "Father, don't beat elder sister. Everything is my fault. It's my fault for taking away elder sister's life of over ten years, for taking away father and mother's love. Elder sister resents me, and it is deserved. No matter what she has done to me, I won't blame her! It's my fault for coming back... But I have no relatives outside, and I don't even know who I am. Yu Ge misses father and mother..."

Tears flowed like water, half true and half feigned, making those around her feel uncomfortable. Even the servants felt that the eldest miss was being too cruel. The second miss only wanted to come back to pay New Year's greetings to her grandfather and grandmother, yet she was treated this way. Everyone thought the second miss had a hard life!

"Ge'er, this isn't your fault, this isn't your fault..." Madam Xiao pushed away Xiao Yufu and held Xiao Yuge tightly in her arms: "My child, how could you possibly be blamed for this..."

Both children's misplaced lives were orchestrated by Aunt Lan. What wrong could the babe, Ge'er, have possibly done at that time

"Mother!" Xiao Yuge collapsed into Madame Xiao's arms, sobbing uncontrollably. Each cry tore at the hearts of everyone present, of course, with the exception of Xiao Yufei.

"Daughter, we will always be your parents, and this will always be your home. Xiao Zhan will always have two daughters!" Even a tough old man like Xiao Zhan couldn't help but shed tears.

"Ge'er, from now on, just stay here, don't leave anymore, okay" Madam Xiao gently wiped the tears from Ge'er's face.

Before Xiao Yu Ge could even answer, Qian Ting Xuan pulled her back beside him. "Your Excellency the Prime Minister, Madam, Little Song is my person, how could she possibly stay here Besides, for someone in your manor to attempt to harm her under the watchful eyes of everyone, I couldn't possibly leave her here!"

Seeing Ge'er being protected in Qian Tingxuan's arms, Xiao Madam became a little anxious: "My Lord, Ge'er is still young. If she has offended you in any way, please be magnanimous and let her go. She is our daughter, how could she possibly stay at your mansion" In her eyes, the King was intentionally making things difficult for Ge'er.

Qian Tingxuan's eyes turned cold: "Does Madam think this King would harm Xiaoge" Even through the mask, one could guess that his face must be as cold as ice at this moment.

Though Madam Xiao was somewhat afraid, she still straightened her spine for Ge'er's sake: "My lord, Ge'er is still young and inexperienced. Keeping her in the manor would surely ruin her reputation."

"Presumptuous!" Qian Tingxuan shouted.

Shocked, Madam Xiao instinctively lowered her head. But she had made up her mind; even if it meant offending the Prince, she would have to snatch Ge’er away from him. She absolutely could not let the Prince ruin Ge’er's life.

Xiao Yuge secretly pinched Qian Tingxuan, afraid that he would really take his anger out on the Xiangfu family. She quickly stepped forward: "Mother, Your Highness is very kind to me. You and Father can rest assured, Your Highness will not hurt Ge'er."

"Silly girl, you entered the palace without any status or name. How will you manage yourself in the future" Madam Xiao felt that Ge'er was too naive and didn't even understand the severe consequences a woman would face if she lost her reputation.

"My lady, are you displeased that this king hasn't given little Ge'er a proper title" Qian Tingxuan's voice was much gentler than before: "The Prime Minister and his wife can rest assured, as long as little Ge'er agrees, this king will immediately arrange for the three announcements, six visits to the provinces, and ten miles of red decorations to welcome little Ge'er as my king's consort!"

As soon as he uttered those words, the crowd was stunned!

"Little Uncle!" The most unacceptable thing was Qian Si Chen. He always thought Ge'er was just playing a prank on him and being with Little Uncle was just to spite him. However, he had never imagined that Little Uncle would marry Ge'er as his legitimate wife.

Qian Tingxuan only gave him a casual glance, a look that let him figure it out for himself.

Xiao Zhan and his wife looked at each other in astonishment, seeming unable to believe that the esteemed King of Freedom would publicly vow to welcome Ge'er with a ten-mile red makeup procession. Although the King of Freedom appeared to lack real power outwardly, everyone knew that no one in the capital dared to defy him. He might not hold official authority, but he was undoubtedly second only to the emperor, revered by all. To become his queen would be a blessing indeed.

"Is what the prince said really true" Xiao Zhan seemed to want to confirm again, this information was a bit too much, he had to slow down. This year's New Year's Day, exciting things kept happening one after another, it seemed like this year would be very exciting.

Thousand Thunder Pavilion solemnly said: “Grand Chancellor, you have served in the court for decades, have you ever seen or heard of this prince saying he would marry any woman as his concubine”

Xiao Zhan really thought about it seriously, shook his head, and indeed there wasn't, not even a rumor.

“Therefore, every word I said today is true. I don’t make promises lightly, but once I promise something, I will definitely keep my word. From now on, Xiaoge’er will be my future queen. Anyone who dares to disrespect her again, don’t blame me for being ruthless! If anyone makes Xiaoge’er shed a single tear, I will make her weep a bowl of blood! She is my inverse scale, touch her, and I can disown even my own kin!”

When Qian Tingxuan finished speaking, his feet suddenly trembled, and a powerful pressure enveloped the area instantly. Everyone present felt their breathing become difficult, including the martial arts masters Qian Sichin and Chu Tianqi. Under this formidable internal force, they found it difficult to even lift their legs.

Qian Tingxuan's words were a warning to Xiao Yufu to behave herself, and the last sentence was also said to Qian Sichin!

After finishing his words, Qian Tingxuan led Xiao Yuge out in full view of everyone. It took the crowd quite a while to come back to their senses.

"Bring Miss here back to the courtyard. Without my permission, she is not allowed to leave the premises!" Xiao Zhan stood up, suppressing the turmoil within him, and ordered someone to take Xiao Yufu down. master and madam!"Everyone was astonished."Goodness me!" Mrs. Xiao slumped down in her chair. She never could have imagined the truth would be like this: "Why is it like this""Madam." Xiao Zhan quick...
