Originally Xu Tianru was somewhat unhappy with Madam Yu's words, but when he heard that it was the palace's intention, that bit of displeasure disappeared.

Now that things have come to this, the most important thing is to stabilize the enemy.

But when Xu Liya said the word "legitimate daughter", his face changed again, and the irritability in his body rose visibly.

Thinking about all the bad things that happened before, I couldn't help but feel angry.

However, Xu Liya was still immersed in her own world, and kept saying unpleasant words, all of which were insults to Madam Yu.

Madam Yu opposite lowered her head, supported by her maid Fang Zhi, her whole body trembling, and she dared not refute a single word.

Even Xu Tianru couldn't help feeling sorry for her when he saw her accepting such a submissive look.

"Enough!" Xu Tianru finally spoke up and interrupted Xu Liya's cursing.

"Since it is your Majesty's wish, then follow your Majesty's wishes. Although Ah Yu is a concubine, she is also your stepmother. She has been taking care of the house for so many years since your mother was away, and she has also raised your children for your father. Ya'er, you shouldn't be so rude!"

Xu Liya opened her eyes wide in disbelief: "Dad?"

She suffered injustice in the palace, but she didn't stand up for herself, and even asked His Majesty to confer the title of some damn chaste and virtuous princess on her to send her to the enemy camp.

Now that I'm back home, I still have to call this inferior concubine "stepmother". Why?!

Xu Tianru said coldly: "Let's take a step back. Do you want to disobey the emperor's order?"

Xu Liya stiffened her neck, her eyes were red, and she looked like she was about to go crazy.

"Why not? Dad, you are..."

Xu Tianru slapped Xu Liya on the face, making her sit on the ground.

"Rebellious girl! You are talking nonsense. Are you crazy?!"

When Madam Yu heard this, her eyes flashed and the corners of her mouth twitched, but because she lowered her head, no one saw it.

Xu Tianru was so angry that he was out of breath. How could this rebellious girl dare to say anything to others!

In the past, Xu Tianru thought that she just had a bad temper, but she still had some brains. Looking at her again today, he felt that he had been wrong in the past!

"Ah Yu has worked hard in the family for so many years. Even if you have no credit, you have worked hard. From now on, you will teach Ya'er well as her stepmother. As for the marriage with the Qian family, let Ning'er marry into the family!"

Xu Tianru made the final decision, finalizing something that had been delayed for a long time.

There was no way he could let go of the marriage with the Qian family. He wanted to drag it out first to wear down Xu Liya's temper, so that she would have to marry him even if she didn't want to.

They want a legitimate daughter, and there is only Xu Liya in the mansion.

But now she has caused such a big disaster that it has caused a great uproar in the city that it is impossible to hide it any longer.

The Qian family would never want a legitimate daughter who had lost her innocence.

However, although there is only one legitimate daughter, there is more than one daughter.

Xu Ning is more reassuring and easier to control than Xu Liya.

The enemy has already taken an irreversible wrong step, and the Qian family cannot afford to make any more mistakes.

What's more, he has other cards that are more favorable to him than the card of Xu's daughter.

Xu Tianru made the choice in an instant.

Want a legitimate daughter? Then just change the concubine's daughter to a legitimate one.

The teacher has a good reason, no one can find fault with him!

Madam Yu looked up in surprise: "Master, this..."

Her face showed fear, surprise, helplessness and uneasiness.

Xu Liya on the side was struck by lightning.

"I disagree!"

"Dad! I don't agree!"

"My mother has only passed away for a few years. I don't agree with Aunt Yu being my legal mother!"

The extremely glorious status that was brought by being born of a legitimate wife in the past collapsed in an instant.

She, her younger sister Xu Wenyin and her younger brother Xu Shaohua are all from the same mother. Her younger sister Xu Wenyin is the queen, and her younger brother Xu Shaohua is a famous young man in the capital.

After being high and mighty for so many years, they would never allow anyone to take the position of the mistress of the Xu family, nor would they allow anyone to be on an equal footing with them!

Xu Tianru's decision shocked and frightened Xu Liya. She was really afraid that her father would make Madam Yu his legitimate wife, and Xu Ning and Xu Shaobo would become legitimate sons and daughters.

At the same time, she became more panicked.

She knew how arrogant she was and how many people in the capital she had offended.

But everyone endured and gave in, not only because of their father, Prime Minister Xu, but also because of Madam Yu and Xu Ning's reputation for being virtuous.

Many good sons from families in the capital had expressed their satisfaction with Xu Ning, but they all gave up on Xu Ning because they were afraid of him.

If Madam Yu is the mistress and Xu Ning is the legitimate daughter, then I'm afraid that there will be even more people coming to visit.

The most important thing is that the Qian family, which she despises, will marry Xu Ning, and the Qian family’s property will be decided by Xu Ning in the future.

Xu Liya looked down on the Qian family's smell of money, and also looked down on Xu Ning's lowly status as a concubine's daughter.

But soon these two people whom she hated were about to get together, and she could only marry a faraway enemy, someone she had never met.

How could Xu Liya be willing to accept this!

"Dad, I was wrong. I shouldn't have gone out to cause trouble. I shouldn't have been thinking about the prince. I will be obedient and marry into the Qian family..."

"Daddy, I will obey you. I don't want to marry the grandson of the enemy, and you don't need to support Aunt Yu..."

When hearing the first half, Xu Tianru still felt a little soft-hearted, but after hearing the second half, Xu Tianru felt that his soft-heartedness was wasted.

"You don't want to? It's not up to you!"

"Someone! Take the young lady back to the courtyard. For the next three days, no one except the Madam can see her!"

The servant immediately covered Xu Liya's mouth, fearing that she would make any sound.

Soon, Xu Liya was taken away and the main hall returned to peace. The speed at which it happened showed how much these people hated Xu Liya.

"Master, I am not worthy of the position of mistress. Besides, what the eldest lady said is right. My wife has only passed away a few years ago. If you do this, it will make the children sad..."

Xu Tianru frowned, as if he didn't like someone going against his decision.

Besides, his decision is the best option at the moment.

"You don't need to say more. I know it all in my heart. It was because I indulged Ya'er that she caused such a big scandal. If she had a stepmother to restrain her earlier, this wouldn't have happened!"

"Also, let Ning'er go with the Qian family's marriage contract. You are the legal wife, and Ning'er is the legitimate daughter. The Qian family can't find fault with it. Marrying into the Qian family is a big deal. Don't create any more trouble, understand?"

These words are an explanation, a warning, and even more so, an announcement.

Xu Ning is the only candidate, she has to marry her even if she doesn’t want to!

Madam Yu didn't say anything else, but bowed slightly: "I understand, Master, don't worry, I won't miss the important matter."

Xu Tianru turned and left, he had more important things to do.

Xu Liya and her close enemy Rong were no longer of any use to him.

It all depends on whether she can work hard enough to give birth to a child for the prince.

On the other side, Fang Zhi helped Madam Yu back to Xin Garden. Xu Ning had already prepared a cold handkerchief for her face.

Xu Ning was not suitable to go to the main hall, but she knew everything that happened in the main hall.

Although I hated Xu Liya for beating Madam Yu, fortunately the result was a happy one.
