Mrs. Xiao couldn't hold it in any longer and collapsed on the edge of the bed, tears in her eyes.

"Son, I'm sorry for you! I've asked all the doctors in the capital, and they all said that your spine is broken and you'll never be able to stand up again. Even the imperial physicians in the palace are helpless. It's my fault, my fault!"

Mrs. Xiao burst into tears after she finished speaking.

Xiao Yusheng got a positive answer again. His expression was panicked, but he didn't have any violent reaction. He just lay back weakly.

The atmosphere in the room seemed particularly heavy amid Mrs. Xiao's crying. Butler Li sighed and was about to persuade her.

Xiao Yusheng suddenly spoke.

"Mother, please help me prepare the pen, ink, paper and inkstone."

When these words were spoken, everyone present was very surprised.

Madam Xiao barely stopped crying and asked in a choked voice, "What do you want to do? What do you want to write? Just tell me and I'll write it."

Mrs. Xiao didn't know what her son wanted to do, but as long as he didn't want to die, it was a good thing.

Xiao Yusheng smiled bitterly and struggled to get up.

Mrs. Xiao wanted to persuade her son to lie down, but seeing the light suddenly brightening in her son's eyes, she was afraid of disturbing her son's fighting spirit that had ignited from nowhere, so she subconsciously helped her son sit up.

"hiss--"

Taking a breath, Xiao Yusheng endured the pain and sat at the head of the bed, then gritted his teeth and looked at Madam Xiao and said.

"Mother, I heard everything you said outside just now. What the housekeeper said is correct."

"I am useless now, and I cannot inherit the family line. In order to keep my position as the Crown Prince, we must think of a solution quickly before my father decides to change the heir..."

When Xiao Yusheng said the last sentence, his tone was full of self-mockery.

Mrs. Xiao was heartbroken, but she could not deny what her son said because she knew that he was right.

No matter how much the Marquis loves Yusheng, he cannot tolerate a disabled person as his heir.

Even if the Marquis can endure it, there will still be a lot of pointing fingers and mocking from outside.

As time goes by, there will come a day when you can no longer bear it.

Therefore, I must find a way to secure this position before the Marquis has this idea.

What does the son want to do?

Madam Xiao was very confused and asked cautiously.

"Yusheng, what do you want to do? Don't do anything stupid now. How will you live without your mother?"

Xiao Yusheng looked at his mother who was crying and sighed.

"I told you, I heard everything you said. The butler is right. I don't have any bargaining chips to keep my position as the prince, so I can only set my sights elsewhere."

"If there is a powerful Yue family, my father will be afraid of me, so I am willing to be humble and coax Xie Lingxi, even if I have to beg her, to make her change her mind."

"As long as Xie Lingxi marries into the Cheng'en Marquis Mansion and makes Lord Xie my father-in-law, this matter will be a foregone conclusion. Even if my father wants to take away my title, it won't be that easy."

Mrs. Xiao understood, and she felt even more uncomfortable seeing her son being so compromising.

Why couldn't she bear this pain herself? Why did God hurt her son like this?

Mrs. Xiao was extremely sad and was ready to cry again.

But suddenly there was a noise outside.

Mrs. Xiao was a little annoyed. Her son wasn't dead yet, but the people under her were already starting to make moves, right?

She doesn't take her son seriously at all!

Before Madam Xiao could start scolding, a servant ran in hurriedly. Instead of coming over, he stood there and reported.

"Madam! Prince! Something bad has happened! Someone from the Xie family is coming!"

Xiao Yusheng thought Xie Lingxi had changed her mind and softened her heart and wanted to come to see him, and he was delighted.

Perhaps he wanted to find a backer as soon as possible, Xiao Yusheng completely ignored the anxiety on the servant's face and the word "Oh no" and asked.

"Is Miss Xie here too? Are you here to see me?"

The servant was obviously stunned by the question. When he met the prince's creepy eyes, he was so scared that he quickly lowered his head.

He didn't understand why the prince would have such a daydream, but he didn't dare to say it. Thinking that the situation outside was very urgent, he didn't dare to lie and spoke carefully.

"No... Miss Xie didn't come. Yes, it was Second Master Xie Yunli, and Miss Xie Ruyu. Lord Xie and Master Xie also came. It's just that... Lord Xie was questioning outside the gate, asking what the Cheng'en Marquisate meant."

"It was a deliberate act on the wedding day, trying to accuse Miss Xie and humiliate her, but I didn't expect that she was secretly having sex with Xie Ruyu, the daughter of Mr. Xie, and got pregnant..."

The servant's voice became lower and lower, but it was still loud enough for Madam Xiao and the others to hear clearly.

Butler Li felt his eyes go dark.

He knows it!

The news that the crown prince has been deposed has spread throughout the capital. There must be something fishy going on.

Just then, the Xie family came to ask for an explanation.

Butler Li would not believe that the news of the prince's injury was not fanned by the Xie family and spread throughout the capital.

But what does it matter if you know?

Firstly, there is no evidence, and secondly, even if there is evidence, they have no way to prove themselves.

Because the prince was really injured and disabled, the Xie family was not spreading rumors. At most, the Xie family deliberately spread the facts.

Whether they admit it or not, they will become a laughing stock.

After the servant had finished speaking, he also realized that the atmosphere in the room was not right. He just wanted to finish the job quickly, so he continued on.

"That... Madam, Prince, the Xie family said they want to see the Marquis and the Prince. Now that the Marquis is not at home, we can't hold on any longer."

"There are many people outside watching the excitement. If we allow the Xie family to shout at the door, I'm afraid it will have a greater impact. Please let Madam make the decision..."

After the servant finished speaking, he shut his mouth obediently.

Anyway, the message has been delivered. As a servant, he really can't make any decisions. It all depends on what his masters tell him to do.

Mrs. Xiao's face flushed with anger. She picked up the teacup on the table and threw it at the boy. It hit his leg and fell to the ground, breaking into pieces.

"Assholes! The Xie family did it on purpose! They came here to take advantage of others' misfortunes, assholes!"

Madam Xiao cursed angrily, but nothing could be changed.

Xiao Yusheng's face also looked very unhappy. He had previously thought that Xie Lingxi had some feelings for him.

But I didn't expect that woman to be so cruel.

But soon, Xiao Yusheng remembered something, suddenly grasped the key point, stared at the servant and asked.

"What did you say just now? Xie Ruyu is here too?"

The servant had no idea about the dispute between Xiao Yusheng and Xie Ruyu.

Although he heard from the Xie family that the child in Xie Ruyu's belly was their eldest son's, the servant thought that the Xie family was looking for trouble and was deliberately making an excuse, and he didn't take it seriously at all.

Now that I heard the prince ask this, my heart began to beat fast and I had some guesses, but for now I could only report the truth.

"Yes, yes, Miss Ruyu and Mr. Xie are here, and they are also calling for the prince to be held responsible."

Seeing Xiao Yusheng's face getting darker and darker, the servant closed his mouth again, feeling very uneasy.
