Princess is heartbroken

Chapter 159

"The reason why the Duke and Madam did not agree, Qingtian will not go into it. What Qingtian wants to say is that if the person really can't like it, the eldest brother had better give up! To avoid suffering in time!"

"After all, Eldest Brother is not too young. After Yue's marriage, Madam will probably start to talk about Eldest Brother's marriage!"

Liu Yumiao's face was a little gloomy, and she said displeasedly: "Sunny, I'm not surprised that you can see through it. It's just that if you don't tell the truth after seeing through, why do you have to say it so bluntly!"

Xia Qingtian was a little helpless, and sighed: "Brother, as for emotional matters, under normal circumstances, it's all about persuading peace and not breaking up! I shouldn't ask about your affairs!"

"It's just that I don't want you to be sad in the future, and I don't want you to have trouble with your family! So, if Qing Tian said something that shouldn't be said, brother, don't worry!"

Liu Yumiao also knew that Xia Qingtian said all this for his own good, so she smiled bitterly and said, "Qingtian, brother has unavoidable difficulties!"

"When I was young, my eldest brother had a childhood sweetheart, but her father and my father were deadly enemies."

"Our fathers fought to the death in the official arena. In the end, her father lost and was demoted by the emperor, and the mansion was confiscated by the government."

"Since then, the family moved to the suburbs outside the city. Her father became a schoolteacher, earning money to support the family by teaching children in the suburbs."

"But my father didn't let them go because of this. My father used his power to make their family completely destitute, almost begging for food."

"I don't know why my father hates them so much. But I can't just watch my beloved woman live such a miserable life? So all these years, I have been helping them without telling my father."

"She is 19 years old this year. I have thought about marrying her, but I dare not mention it to my father."

After listening to Liu Yumiao's words, Xia Qingtian thought about it for a moment, and said calmly: "Brother, the Duke is not that kind of person, he won't push people to a desperate situation for no reason!"

"Everything that has a cause has an effect. If it weren't for their family to do something that the Duke cannot tolerate, I think the Duke would never treat them like this!"

"Brother, if the Duke finds out and you help them in private, do you know what the consequences will be?"

Liu Yumiao smiled wryly: "What consequences can there be? My father will push them into a corner again! And, I won't be allowed to get close to them again!"

Xia Qingtian shook her head, and said lightly: "Brother, I'm not talking about the consequences for them, but the consequences for you!"

"What consequences can I have?" Liu Yumiao didn't care much, "At most, I will be scolded by my father and forbidden to contact their family!"

Xia Qingtian suddenly felt that Liu Yumiao was a little naive: "Brother, don't think too easily about many things! Doesn't the Duke's actions explain everything?"

"You two must have enmity! If you help your enemy, what will the Duke think? The deeper the hatred, the more unforgivable your actions will be in the eyes of the Duke!"

"I'm worried that when the matter is revealed, there will be a big rift between you and the Duke!"

Liu Yumiao chuckled lightly: "Sunny, you think too much! How can there be any overnight feud between father and son?"

Xia Qingtian felt helpless in her heart, yes, there would be hatred between relatives.

Just like she used to be, she was the beloved little princess of the family, and her father was the heir of the family.But his father was killed by his uncle, and his mother also died.

The grandfather who loved her the most, even shielded the real culprit.She hated, hated her uncles, and hated grandpa even more!Grandpa kept saying that he loved her, but turned to her enemy.

Even if in the end, the whole family is used to compensate her, so what?She is not rare!She has a deep understanding of the pain that the people closest to her are not towards her!
I just hope that the eldest brother's sweetheart belongs to their family, and the enmity with the Duke's mansion will not be too deep.Otherwise, the Duke might be disappointed and make the same choice as she did back then.

Xia Qingtian looked at Liu Yumiao, and said calmly: "Brother, don't insist on liking someone you shouldn't like! So as not to hurt others and yourself!"

"That's all for Qingtian, big brother can do it for himself!" Xia Qingtian stood up, "Qingtian bid farewell!"

"Sunny day, don't tell anyone about me!"

"Brother, don't worry! It won't be sunny!" After speaking, he left without looking back.

Fan Xuanxuan waited in Liyue Pavilion for a long time, but Liu Yumiao did not return home.In the end, I had no choice but to come here in good spirits and return in disappointment.

The next day, Liu Guogong and a group of seriously ill ministers finally went to court.

The other ministers are fine, they are all in high spirits.Only Liu Guogong, with a yellow complexion and dull eyes, seemed to be severely tormented by illness.

"Your Majesty, the people in Dali Temple have already found out the rumors about Liu Guogong's mansion. It is true, and Mrs. Liu can testify!" The censor, Mr. Cai, came out and said in a deep voice.

Xu Huaiwu also came out, filled with righteous indignation: "Your Majesty, Liu Guogong has lost his virtue and should be severely punished!"

"Second ministers!" Some ministers echoed in deep voices.

The emperor looked at Liu Guogong, and asked in a deep voice: "About this matter, what does Liu Guogong have to say?"

Liu Guogong's face was pale, his eyes drooped and he said nothing.When all the ministers were discussing, Liu Guogong took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the rumors in the market are indeed true!"

After Liu Guogong's voice fell, everyone was in an uproar, but Liu Guogong admitted it like this?

Although the emperor was also a little surprised, but it is expected that Liu Shiqu definitely has a plan.

Just when the emperor thought so, Liu Guogong suddenly showed pain on his face, and said heartbrokenly:
"Your Majesty, although the matter of the Duke's Mansion is a fact, it is more difficult to explain. This minister is not the kind of wolf-hearted person, nor is he the kind of person who is unkind, righteous or filial."

"My minister's heart is suffering. For so many years, I have nowhere to express the pain in my heart. Now, being misunderstood by others like this is really heartbreaking!"

"Your Majesty, this humble minister brought some things today. After the emperor has seen it, if he still feels that this humble minister should be punished, then this humble minister has nothing to say."

After Liu Guogong finished speaking, he raised the box in his hand above his head.

Jianyou walked up to Liu Guogong, took the box from Liu Guogong's hand, opened it, and presented it to the emperor.

The emperor looked at the letters, notes, and some pamphlets in the box, and looked puzzled, what the hell is Liu Shiqu doing?

After opening one of the letters, after reading it, I feel heavy in my heart.Then I read all the letters, notes, and pamphlets carefully, and my heart was very complicated.

Turning to look at Liu Guogong, he didn't know what to say.I always thought that only the royal family would have so many secrets, but I didn't expect that such a small duke's mansion would be so dark and sinister.
