After the eldest daughter was reborn, the whole family knelt down and begged for forgiveness

"Xiao Xuetang!"

"Tang'er..."

Several voices sounded at the same time, and everyone looked at Xiao Xuetang in disbelief.

Even when the Marquis' Mansion was defeated and Lin Shaoshu was at his lowest point, no one was planning on arranging a marriage between Xiao Xuetang and Lin Shaoshu.

After all, they were childhood sweethearts and inseparable, and their engagement was arranged by the late emperor himself. Everyone, including the queen who hated the Xie family very much, felt that the two of them were a perfect match made in heaven. Such a perfect match would never be separated unless they died.

It seems that they should be like this!

Including today when Lin Shaoshu and Ye Jin were caught cheating, everyone would at most think that Xiao Xuetang was just being embarrassed, and after a long time, when the storm was over, Xiao Xuetang would forgive Lin Shaoshu.

But no one expected that Xiao Xuetang would be so decisive and directly decide to break off the engagement with Lin Shaoshu.

Once Xiao Xuetang breaks off the engagement, how will Lin Shaoshu survive in Kyoto?

The Queen Mother was the first to get anxious and said, "Tang'er, this is not the time to be willful. Even if Lin Shaoshu and Ye Jin had an affair before, she is an orphan, and at most she can marry him as a concubine. If you are not happy, let her come in and be a concubine. Your marriage was granted by the late emperor, how can you cancel it!"

When mentioning the late emperor, Emperor Yonghui's eyes darkened slightly, and he looked at Xiao Xuetang and said, "Although what happened today was Shaoshu's fault, you two are a perfect match made in heaven by the late emperor himself, so don't mention the matter of breaking off the engagement."

When Lin Shaoshu heard Xiao Xuetang say the word "break the engagement", his heart was broken...

In the past, Xiao Xuetang mentioned breaking off the engagement several times, and Lin Shaoshu always thought that Xiao Xuetang was just being mean to him, or that she was bewitched by Lin Xun and was confused for a moment.

At this moment, Lin Shaoshu was sure that Xiao Xuetang really...really wanted to cancel the engagement!

They clearly agreed to be together for the rest of their lives, why should she separate?

The usually gentle Third Prince now had red eyes and looked even more embarrassed than before. He knelt before Emperor Yonghui and said, "Father, I do not want to cancel the engagement."

"The only person I like is Xiao Xuetang. As for Ye Jin... I have no interest in Ye Jin at all. She has been tricked by me."

Hearing this, Ye Jin was struck by lightning.

She thought that since they had been together day and night in Huaizhou and had a boat ride and tea together in Kyoto, Lin Shaoshu at least had some affection for her.

But he is so ruthless!

A trace of determination flashed in Ye Jin's eyes, and he said with grief and anger: "Third Prince, although I am of humble status, I also have backbone. You humiliate me like this, I might as well die to show my integrity."

As he said this, he was about to crash into the pillar, but was stopped by the Queen's men...

"Your Majesty, although Ye Jin is only the adopted daughter of the Yong'an Marquisate, she once saved me. Moreover, her Ye's business is quite famous among the people. If such a wonderful woman is forced to death today, everyone in the world will poke the spine of the royal family."

The queen no longer looked coldly at Ye Jin as she did just now, but instead had a look of genuine affection on her face. Everyone who saw the queen like this praised her for her virtue.

The Queen Mother was so angry at the Queen that she almost died, but the Queen's words were so nice that she was blameless!

Emperor Yonghui was not a decisive person. He did not expect things to turn out like this. He did not know how to deal with it for a moment and turned his attention to Lin Xun.

Lin Xun is drinking tea!

The situation had become so chaotic that Emperor Yonghui was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. However, this person acted as if it had nothing to do with him, which made Emperor Yonghui so angry that he almost vomited blood.

"Huai Zhang, what do you think we should do about this? How about letting Shao Shu marry both of them?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xuetang trembled and the fingers hidden in her sleeves clenched...

She knew it!

Even though the matter has become so serious, this marriage is a "perfect match" granted by the late emperor. It represents the brotherly friendship between the current emperor and the late emperor, and is related to the dignity of the royal family.

The word "break off an engagement" is so difficult.

However, since Xiao Xuetang has come this far today, she must not retreat anymore.

If she were to live her life over again, she would never again be a pawn of those in power, a caged bird within the palace walls.

After Emperor Yonghui finished speaking, he didn't know why he felt that Lin Xun looked at him with a cold look...

But when he looked over again soon, Lin Xun had returned to his usual calm and composed self.

Lin Xun looked at Ye Jin and Lin Shaoshu who were kneeling on the ground and said, "This marriage was granted by the late emperor. Your Majesty respects the late emperor. If you ask them to cancel the engagement, it would be a betrayal of the late emperor."

Lin Shaoshu never expected that Lin Xun would speak up for him, and he was secretly delighted; but Xiao Xuetang's mood suddenly sank...

Why did Lin Xun go back on his word?

Just when Xiao Xuetang was on the verge of despair, Lin Xun suddenly changed the subject and said, "But..."

"If the Third Prince had any respect for the late emperor, and cared about the marriage vows and the friendship between childhood sweethearts, why would he do such a half-hearted thing?"

When Lin Xun said this, he glanced at Lin Shaoshu lightly, as if with disdain and mockery.

These words completely tore off Lin Shaoshu's disguise of affection!

At this moment, Xiao Xuetang, who had been standing there stubbornly, ready to fight to the bitter end in order to successfully break off the engagement, could not help but feel a little hot in the eyes, and felt like crying...

Everyone was questioning why he wanted to cancel the engagement, but no one ever asked Lin Shaoshu why he wanted to betray her.

Only Lin Xun!

At this moment, a surge of blood rushed to Lin Shaoshu's head. His fair face turned red and his fists clenched, as if he wanted to refute.

But under Lin Xun's disdainful gaze, he felt that all his selfish desires seemed to be exposed -

That’s right, when Emperor Yonghui proposed that both of them marry him at the same time, Lin Shaoshu was secretly delighted.

He could get the support of Ye Jin and the Ye family, but at the same time he would not lose Xiao Xuetang, so he was in a dilemma.

At that moment, he was even glad that today might be a blessing in disguise...

He couldn't let go of Xiao Xuetang, and he also knew that Ye Jin was very important to his cause.

These darkest secrets hidden deep in one's heart were discovered by Lin Xun in one sentence!

Lin Shaoshu had never hated Lin Xun as much as he did at this moment. Not only did he hate him for his evil intentions towards Xiao Xuetang, but he also hated him for being so powerful.

Everything is so powerful that it is under his control!

If he had such a powerful position, why would he be like this...

"Hurry and hold Miss Jin!"

Ye Jin is going to commit suicide again...

She knew that it was not decent for her to commit suicide like this, but if she gave it a try today and forced Lin Shaoshu and Xiao Xuetang to break off their engagement, the fate between Lin Shaoshu and Xiao Xuetang would be completely severed.

The most virtuous queen of all time can replace her!

In the chaos, Xiao Xuetang unexpectedly pulled out Mu Yan's soft sword and placed it across his neck...

According to the rules, one is not allowed to wear a sword when meeting the emperor, but the Mu Palace has always had the custom of wearing swords, so Mu Yan and his sister are not bound by the palace rules.

Mu Yan didn't expect Xiao Xuetang to snatch her sword, and she screamed, "Xiao Xuetang, don't be impulsive, this sword has been sharpened..."

The sharp sword blade had cut Xiao Xuetang's fair and delicate neck, and the bright red blood flowed down, which had a kind of sad and beautiful beauty.

Compared to Ye Jin's pretentious attempt to commit suicide, Xiao Xuetang's attempt to commit suicide with a sword was even more shocking...

"Tang'er, don't be impulsive!"

Several people at the table stood up, wanting to grab Xiao Xuetang's sword, but were afraid of hurting her...

"Xiao...Xiao Xuetang, you dare to threaten me?!"

Emperor Yonghui was furious...
