Chapter 313 Sending the Old Lady on Her Way

The eyes of the Prince of Nanping instantly turned red with anger, and a chilling aura emanated from his body. He suddenly leaned forward from his wheelchair, moving as fast as lightning, and his skinny but powerful hands, like iron pliers, tightly grasped Xie Changting's neck.

"Your Highness, spare my life..." Xie Changting was frightened by the murderous aura of the Prince of Nanping, and his voice was trembling. He raised his hands in panic and tried desperately to pry the Prince of Nanping's wrists, his nails turning white from excessive force.

However, no matter how hard he tried, Prince Nanping's hands were as hard as cast iron and did not move at all.

Prince Nanping's grip became tighter and tighter, and Xie Changting felt that breathing became more and more difficult, and stars appeared before his eyes.

At this critical moment, he caught a glimpse of Xie Lan's figure from the corner of his eye. As if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, he shouted with his last bit of strength: "Your Majesty, you can't kill me, otherwise it will affect Xie Lan's reputation..."

Xie Changting was originally unsure whether the King of Nanping would give up on killing Xie Lan because of his concern for his reputation. However, when he noticed that he had loosened his grip, he was delighted and secretly glad that he had made the right bet.

Xie Lan didn't expect that Xie Changting would dare to use her as a shield. She had no feelings for Xie Changting in the first place, and now she felt that his behavior was despicable.

Although he was not the one who killed the original owner, if he had not poisoned Su's labor-inducing medicine and had the intention to kill Su, Su would not have panicked and sent the poisoned daughter thousands of miles to Sanqing Mountain in order to save her, which eventually led to her death halfway.

"Your Majesty, don't worry about me. No reputation can affect me. Just do what you have to do."

Xie Changting was annoyed by Xie Lan's ruthlessness, but he didn't dare to scold her, "Lan girl, although you are not my biological daughter, I think I treat you well.

After I took you back to Beijing, if you wanted money, I gave it to you. If you wanted to study, I tried my best to use my connections and spend money to send you to the academy. Even if you wanted to take over the courtyard where your sister lived, I made her move out without saying a word and vacated the courtyard for you to live in..."

Xie Changting knew that he had killed Su, and the King of Nanping would not let him go. He could only try to use the emotional card to impress Xie Lan and ask her to plead for him.

But Xie Lan interrupted him impatiently before he could finish, "You killed my mother, and made me an orphan from birth. I had to be fostered in Sanqing Mountain since I was a child, and you ignored me for more than ten years. Do you think you treated me well?

As for what you said, I robbed Xie Ying's yard, that's even more ridiculous. The Xie family can be what it is today, all by plotting my mother's money. Not to mention a small yard, this entire Xie Mansion should have belonged to my mother! Even the official positions of you, Xie Donghai, and Xie Dahe were bought with my mother's money.

Your Xie family has neither given me life nor raised me.

When you killed my mother, you should have thought about this day! In a clear and bright world, justice is clear, and killing someone means paying with one's life, which is only natural."

Xiao Jin had long been angry that Xie Changting had promised Xie Lan to the Third Prince, but previously he had been reluctant to do anything to him due to his father-in-law's status. But now he had no worries.

"Master Xie, if you care about Xie Lan's reputation, why would you insist on marrying her off to him as a concubine even though you know the Third Prince has many wives and concubines?"

Xie Changting's face froze. "My Lord, I was not thoughtful enough on this matter. Fortunately, the Emperor has granted you the hand in marriage of Lan, so I didn't make a big mistake."

After a pause, although he was reluctant, Xie Changting still had to bow his head to the King of Nanping, "Your Highness, I know that all the mistakes are my fault. It doesn't matter if I die, but everyone in Kyoto knows that Lan is my daughter. If I die and the news gets out, it will really confirm Xie Lan's reputation of being a traitor to his friends.

If the emperor knew about this, it would affect the marriage between Lan Yatou and the eldest prince."

Xiao Jin put his hands behind his back, looked down at Xie Changting, and said indifferently, "The emperor has issued an imperial decree, there is no reason to take it back. Sir Xie, please don't worry about my marriage."

Prince Nanping's expression was as cold as ice. He slowly loosened his hand that was pinching Xie Changting's neck, and with a sudden movement, he threw Xie Changting heavily to the ground.

Although Xie Changting fell hard this time, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, because he knew that what he had just said had hit the sore spot of King Nanping.

In order not to affect Xie Lan's reputation, the King of Nanping had no choice but to let him go. The King of Nanping saw through Xie Changting's thoughts at a glance. He owed a lot to his daughter Xie Lan, and he really didn't want her to suffer any more grievances.

But this does not mean that he will let Xie Changting off easily.

Prince Nanping glanced coldly at Xie Changting who was lying on the ground, raised his hand and quickly drew out the long sword from the waist of the armored guard beside him, and stabbed Xie Changting's shoulder blade with his backhand.

The blood instantly dyed Xie Changting's clothes red, and he let out a scream of pain.

The Prince of Nanping seemed to be blind to his miserable condition and immediately drew out his sword, with the sharp blade instantly placed on his neck.

"Lord Xie is old, and he must be unable to serve as an official. Now write a memorial to the emperor, retire and return to your hometown to enjoy your old age." The voice of Prince Nanping was cold, as if it was a verdict from hell.

Xie Changting clutched his shoulder tightly, blood gushing out from between his fingers, his face twisted in pain, but his eyes were filled with resentment. He had worked hard for many years and finally climbed to the position of Chief Clerk of the Imperial Household Department, so how could he be willing to be forced to resign like this?

"Don't want to?" The corner of Nanping King's mouth curled up in a cold arc, raised his hand and waved, signaling the armored guards beside him, "Old Madam Xie is paralyzed in bed, and it's suffering to live. It's better to be free as soon as possible. You go and send Old Madam Xie off on my behalf."

These words hit Xie Changting's heart like a heavy hammer. His face turned pale as paper in an instant, "Your Highness, you can't do this. The Su family's matter was done by me alone, and has nothing to do with my mother.

If you kill her, aren't you afraid that others will use this to criticize Xie Lan?
She and the eldest prince were about to get married, and if she mourned for her grandmother at this time, her marriage would be greatly affected. The three-year mourning period was neither long nor short.

The eldest prince is such a rare talent, there are countless ladies who love him and want to marry him. Three years has passed, and there are too many variables. Aren't you afraid that the eldest prince will marry someone else and abandon Xie Lan?"

Seeing that Prince Nanping looked unhappy, Xiao Jin saw his concerns.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. We can still get married during the mourning period."

Xiao Jin's words reminded King Nanping that he was so concerned that he forgot about this.

Without any worries, he ordered his guards in a cold voice, "Do it."

Xie Changting looked anxious and wanted to stop them, but his strength was not enough to shake those armored guards.

The guards of Prince Nanping quickly returned, "Your Majesty, Madam Xie has already left."

Prince Nanping nodded and looked at Xie Changting with cold eyes, "Since the old lady has passed away, please write a memorial of mourning for Lord Xie."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The guards had been following the Prince of Nanping in battle for many years, and they were very efficient in their work. They quickly finished writing the memorial, "Thank you, Your Majesty. Please sign it."

Xie Changting clenched his fists, his eyes filled with resentment.

Prince Nanping glanced at him coldly and said, "Come here, wait for Lord Xie's son to set off."

I was going to finish writing a few days ago, but unfortunately plans can't keep up with changes. On the first day of the new year, my little daughter suddenly felt unwell and was hospitalized, so I stopped writing for a few days. Shuyin deeply apologizes for this.
