Chapter 321 Corrupted?!
Chapter 321 Corrupted?!
The moment Huangfu Qian met Xia Mo's gaze, he understood that Xia Mo had misunderstood his thoughts. However, he did not want to reveal his affectation to Xia Mo, so he opened his mouth but chose to remain silent.
Xia Mo stood up, gave Huangfu Qian a deep look, and left without looking back.
Xia's father and the others still lived in the Jiang Prince's Mansion.
The Jiang Prince's Mansion has now been renamed the Xiahou Mansion. Xia's father was not the first to obtain the title of Marquis because of his daughter.
Xia Mansion —
When Xia Mo appeared, Xia's mother was taken aback.
"Nannan, why did you suddenly leave the palace? Isn't it safe? Won't people gossip about you leaving the palace so suddenly?" Xia's mother hurriedly reached out and grabbed Xia Mo.
"Mother, is it really that important to have your own bloodline?" Xia Mo looked at her mother.
"Of course it's important!" Xia's mother's viewpoint was a deeply ingrained belief among the people of this small world. Hearing Xia Mo's question, she nodded without hesitation.
"Then... if I can't have children, does that mean Huangfu Qian will have to take another woman as a concubine to have children?" Xia Mo frowned.
If Huangfu Qian were to touch another woman, she would feel uncomfortable, and even think that Huangfu Qian was defiled.
Xia's mother swallowed and fell silent.
It's one thing to see something happen to others, but it's quite another when it happens to your own daughter.
As parents who love their children dearly, Xia's mother couldn't bear to see her son-in-law with another woman.
"Ah...this..."
Xia's mother was completely confused.
"Mom, I'm sorry to have troubled you. I just want to go home and stay for a few days," Xia Mo said.
“Okay, okay,” Xia’s mother replied repeatedly.
Xia Mo returned to the Xia family mansion and went to plant vegetables in the garden that Xia's mother had cultivated. The news quickly reached Xia's eldest brother, second brother, and third brother.
Princess He, who had just given birth to her eldest grandson, came over with her son, quite pleased with herself.
"Quickly, call her aunt," Princess He was already thinking about how to pave the way for her son.
The four-year-old toddled over to Xia Mo with his short legs, then looked up at her with his big, dark eyes and called out, "Auntie."
Well-behaved children are always especially loved by adults.
As summer drew to a close, her gaze softened when she met her little nephew's clear, big eyes. She then knelt down to look at the little boy.
Just then, Brother Xia and the others came in.
"Little sister, what do you want to do?" Xia Sange's personality remained as direct as ever.
Looking at her concerned family, Xia Mo smiled with pleasure: "Two choices: swallow your anger and let Huangfu Qian find other women; the other choice is for me to divorce him."
“Little sister, this is the present day, he is the emperor, how can he not have his own son? The dynasty also needs a crown prince to succeed to the throne,” Princess He immediately analyzed.
Princess He said, "Even if the current emperor takes another concubine and has a child, you will still be the empress, the highest-ranking person in the palace, and no one can take that away from you."
Princess He believed she was acting in Xia Mo's best interest and offered her sincere advice.
“I’ll take a concubine too. Anyway, a concubine is a concubine, she can’t shake your position as the head of the household,” Brother Xia said coldly, unable to bear hearing Xia Mo suffer any injustice.
Princess He's eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Brother Xia: "It's not like I can't have a son! Our son is four years old this year!"
“If you don’t have a son, you can adopt one. I think the royal family would be very happy to do so,” Xia Erge said first.
Princess He's words clearly angered Brother Xia. If he and his wife were to continue, they would definitely start arguing, and then Little Sister would only feel even worse.
“The son of the royal family and the biological child with one’s own bloodline are two different things,” Princess He immediately retorted to Second Brother Xia.
"Whether it's a son born to a member of the clan or a son born to another woman, neither of them carries my sister's bloodline. Is there any difference?" Xia Sange asked sharply.
“This…” Princess He thought for a moment and said, “Even if it doesn’t carry my younger sister’s bloodline, it still carries the bloodline of the current emperor.”
"Okay, stop arguing!"
Father Xia finally realized that Princess He was only unaware of the pain of being stabbed in the foot!
We can't let them argue about their daughter.
"This is none of your three older brothers' business. You decide for yourself, and whatever you decide, your parents will support you!" Father Xia said solemnly, word by word.
“If my younger sister divorces the current emperor, she will no longer be the empress. If my younger sister is the empress, the Xia family will be taken back, and the marquis's title will be gone! You will no longer be the heir apparent, and our son will also…”
"Shut up!"
Princess He wanted to continue speaking, but was sternly reprimanded by Brother Xia.
"You married me for my title?" Brother Xia pressed.
Princess He shook her head: "Of course not, what could I possibly want? Why are you looking at me like that?!"
"Father, Mother, I've decided to take a concubine," Xia said after a pause, his face cold. "Don't worry, your position as the mistress of the house will not be shaken."
"Xia Shenggen, what do you mean?! Did I not give you a son?!" Princess He, with tears in her eyes and redness, jumped up and down, loudly questioning him.
“You’ve forgotten, my little sister is an important member of my family. What’s wrong with her is wrong with me. If the ‘knife’ falls on her, she’ll be in pain, and I, as her older brother, will be in pain too.” After a pause, Brother Xia continued, “In your eyes, my little sister is just my little sister. You, my son, and I are the three of us who are family. You just don’t know the pain because the knife hasn’t fallen on you yet. I feel sorry for my sister. Since you’re so generous, you might as well be generous too.”
“Xia Shenggen, she is just your younger sister, I am your wife, your wife who shares your joys and sorrows! Our son is the continuation of our bloodline. As a father, shouldn’t you think more about your wife and your son?!” Princess He roared at Xia Shenggen.
“You are just my wife. You can have many wives, or you can have only one,” Brother Xia said, veins bulging on his forehead, suppressing his anger.
"Okay, stop arguing!"
Xia Mo never expected that before she and Huangfu Qian had even gotten to know each other, their family would have a huge fight.
"It's all your fault that I argued with your elder brother today! You're the Empress, so just be a good Empress. You're already the mother of the nation, what can't you tolerate?!" Princess He's spoiled young lady temper was still there, and she immediately lashed out at Xia Mo.
"I don't want this marquis title anymore," Xia's father slammed his hand on the table and stood up, saying, "That way, I won't have to eat my way into inheriting the title!"
“Father-in-law, the baby is your eldest grandson! You are the head of the family, shouldn’t you think about your eldest grandson?!” Princess He stopped arguing when she heard that Xia’s father did not want the title, and instead tried to persuade him.
"Have you forgotten how my father obtained his title?" Xia Sange said quietly.
"Yes, it's because of my little sister... but... but..."
Princess He realized she didn't know how to persuade Brother Xia and the others, so she simply stamped her foot and said, "I'm doing this for the sake of our Xia family's eldest grandson!"
"Mother, the position of heir can only be mine," Xia Baobao's soft, sweet voice rang out.
Brother Xia opened his eyes wide, looking at his only son in disbelief.
They've been corrupted?!
