Chapter 507: Your Choice
“Who has been here?” Zhou Huailing asked with confusion. “Princess Concubine Yun?”
Liu Qingqing glared at him and said to him with a look of alert, as she held her arms. “This is the Liu Mansion, not your home, how can Princess Concubine Yun be here?”
Zhou Huailing believed that those words made sense.
It was his fault for suspecting that Princess Concubine Yun was here. How could the Liu Mansion allow Princess Concubine Yun to visit them. He had been bothered by too many errands to think clearly these days. So he decided not to mention this matter any more.
He found a place and sat down.
“Serve the tea.” Zhou Huailing said arrogantly as if he were at his own mansion.
“What are you doing?” Liu Qingqing looked at him with displeasure.
What was this man thinking?
He already said that they could divorce and she was driven out of the mansion, so why was he still here on a visit!?
“The King already approved that if I still want a divorce after one month, then he would say yes. You seem to be satisfied with this result too, so what are you doing here?” Liu Qingqing looked at him with arms across her chest.
Since she was at her own home, Liu Qingqing was not dressed in elegant clothes. Instead, she was dressed in a very clean and sharp dress and was about to practice something in the yard, when this man walked in.
Zhou Huailing looked at Liu Qingqing with confusion. He did not even have time to comment upon her dress.
When the guards of the Liu Mansion let him enter, he had thought that General Liu and Liu Qingqing had talked everything through, so that she would get back to him as a Princess Concubine, but it seemed that Liu Qingqing was still insisting on divorcing?
Zhou Huailing just did not get it.
Xie Yan said as he saw the scene. “Lord married Princess Consort Ruxue for the mansion’s sake. She is the Phoenix Girl, so Lord had no choice other than to marry her. You are already married to the Lord, and no one else would dare to marry you if you are divorced. You aren’t spending your whole life here at your own mansion, are you? As far as I know, the Young Master of the Liu Mansion doesn’t share the same mother as you do, so think about it, what if your father gets old?”
Xie Yan did not dare to talk about General Liu’s death directly, so he was articulating in a very gentle way.
“If you go back to the mansion with the Lord, Lord will guarantee your son a rank and your life will be full of wealth and you don’t have to worry about anything! That sounds nice, doesn’t it?” Xie Yan asked politely.
Since Liu Qingqing’s future social status was not confirmed, Xie Yan did not dare to address her by her real name. So what he did was to call her by a polite t.i.tle.
He was polite to Liu Qingqing, because of his respect for General Liu, but what he had said did cater to Liu Qingqing’s current situation.
Gu Ruxue was the Phoenix Girl, so his lord was going to the King. If the Liu Family established a grudge with his lord, then the whole family would not be able to survive.
When that time came, the former Princess Consort as well as the whole Liu Family would become the center of hatred. There would be lots of gossip pushed upon them and the situation would be very bad for the whole family.
That was not a proper situation, so any normal woman would tolerate the moment and choose a potentially great future.
Zhou Huailing looked at Xie Yan with satisfaction. Xie Yan had been working very well these days.
Then he turned to Liu Qingqing. “What is your choice?”
