Chapter 231 They are the perfect match
Chapter 231 They are the perfect match
Song Yingqiu's words were something Xie Xing had never expected.
After he finished speaking, the surroundings fell silent.
Others might not know, but how could Xie Yuze not know?
Xie Mingzhu alone, over the years, has received gifts from the Xie family, her maternal grandparents, and from others who wanted to curry favor with her. The total amount she has is enough to make her incredibly wealthy, not to mention the businesses owned by other members of the Xie family.
Xie Tongchen was a military general with few properties under his name, as most of them were used to support his troops.
However, Xie Yuhe and Xie Yuze have quite a lot.
This doesn't even include the Xie family's entire business empire.
The fact that Madam Xie could give away Yunyan Pavilion so readily is enough to demonstrate the Xie family's wealth.
What's more, there are also gifts from the emperor!
What does Xie Xing have?
It's just Yunyan Pavilion, and the courtyard where I live at home is a nice courtyard that I just moved into not long ago.
That was because they thought she was going to marry the Third Prince, so they changed her clothes.
What remains is the monthly allowance issued by the manor. That dozen or so taels of silver is enough for an ordinary family, but for a powerful and wealthy family, it's not even enough for a single meal.
What does Xie Xing have?
Upstairs, Xie Yuhe was stunned when he heard these words of support for Xie Xing.
Indeed, they kept saying they would pay more attention to Xie Xing and treat her better than before, but what did they actually give her?
What right do they have to want Xie Xing to stand on their side?
They are both daughters of the General's family. If these things are not exposed, we will never know how unfair they are to Xie Xing.
After a moment of silence.
The people around started talking about it.
"Surely not? Xie Xing is the General's biological daughter, after all. She hasn't returned for over ten years. Now that we've finally found her, surely she doesn't even have these things?"
"What do you know, Yi?"
"Back then, their general's mansion was completely unwilling to acknowledge this daughter."
"Yes, they are a powerful and wealthy family, the Grand General's Mansion. They finally raised a top female talent, and now they say that a village girl is their biological daughter. Who can accept this?"
"Who can accept this? Did you see how much the Xie family disliked this daughter back then? The old lady was so angry that she stayed in the temple for several months before returning recently."
"Looking at it from another angle, the fifth young lady of the Xie family has a hard life."
"Yes, I heard that she surpassed the princess of the Southern Kingdom in chess and painting."
How could one not have a miserable life?
She was destined to be a wealthy heiress and had a comfortable life since childhood.
Unexpectedly, after being usurped for more than a decade, and being found again, her biological parents favored the fake, and her three older brothers refused to acknowledge her.
After careful consideration, everyone put themselves in Xie Xing's shoes; how could they possibly tolerate Xie Mingzhu?
They might even resent their own parents.
The look in everyone's eyes as they looked at Xie Xing instantly turned to pity.
Outside the crowd, Xie Mingzhu's face turned pale.
She bit her lip hard, staggered back two steps, and tears instantly welled up in her autumn eyes.
"No, that's not it, I didn't mean to."
Her back pressed against Luo Hanfeng's chest.
Luo Hanfeng held her in his arms, his eyes indifferent, his gaze fixed on Xie Xing, his voice gentle as water: "Mingzhu, this is not your fault."
That's what he said, but Luo Hanfeng felt incredibly ironic inside.
Xie Mingzhu is a beneficiary of the system, so why can't we blame her?
Luo Hanfeng had witnessed the greed of human nature in the Cold Palace, but Xie Mingzhu was the most greedy woman he had ever met.
From the moment she was born, she was deliberately schemed against by those around her, transforming from a former princess who should have grown up in the gutter and been hated by everyone into the apple of the eye of a large general's mansion.
How can she be considered innocent?
After enjoying the Xie family's unconditional pampering, status, money, and power, she discovered that it was all a beautiful dream. When the dream shattered, she not only felt no remorse, but even thought about destroying the original owner and completely replacing her.
That's fine then.
After all, it's human nature.
But Xie Mingzhu's most vicious act wasn't this. Her most vicious act was that after discovering that the Xie family had withdrawn their affection for her, they didn't even have time to do anything before Xie Mingzhu added them to her hate list and began to resent them.
They euphemistically call it: If you don't love me, then abandon me.
What a huge irony.
The most ridiculous thing is that this vicious and selfish woman is his so-called destiny.
unfair.
So unfair.
Why?
Is it because he came from a humble background and trained himself to be ruthless and vicious in order to survive in the cold palace that only a woman like him is worthy of him?
Have you asked him what kind of woman he likes?
Should we give him the prescription?
Luo Hanfeng concealed the madness in his eyes, gently wiped away Xie Mingzhu's tears, and said softly, "No matter how much people condemn you, I will be by your side."
Xie Mingzhu's eyes trembled.
At this moment, she truly loved Luo Hanfeng.
She needs a man who is always by her side.
If it were before, when Xie Mingzhu didn't know that her identity was that of an imposter, she would never have looked down on Luo Hanfeng.
How could a lowly prince who crawled out of a palace maid's womb be worthy of her?
She deserves to be a powerful figure, second only to the emperor.
For example, the Crown Prince, and Prince Jin.
Unfortunately, Prince Jin was not interested in women, so Xie Mingzhu could only focus her attention on the Crown Prince.
Initially, when she helped Luo Hanfeng, it was only because she was at her most sensitive at the time. In front of the Crown Prince and other princes, she suddenly felt inferior because she was not the biological daughter of the General's Mansion, and her status was not legitimate.
She couldn't accept this kind of drop in status.
Until he saw the even more humble Luo Hanfeng.
Despite being a prince, he was bullied by everyone.
Even if she is a fake heiress, she is still a cut above Luo Hanfeng. She can bestow her kindness upon him from a superior position. He is both lowly and yet not so lowly.
Because he was a prince.
After learning that she was a princess from the previous dynasty, Xie Mingzhu completely gave up any thoughts of being with the crown prince.
Her status and the Crown Prince's were destined to be mismatched.
Just then, Luo Hanfeng appeared.
He didn't care about her status, nor was he the incompetent and lowly prince she imagined. On the contrary, he was a man who pretended to be weak while actually being strong, and in Xie Mingzhu's eyes, he was many times smarter than the crown prince.
That's the kind of person who's a perfect match for her.
He will **.
And naturally, she was able to become empress.
Xie Mingzhu inevitably developed feelings for Luo Hanfeng, and these feelings continued to grow stronger as she spent time with him.
[Ding, male and female leads' progress +10.]
The system's voice suddenly rang out.
Hearing this voice, Xie Xing was suddenly brought back to his senses by Song Yingqiu's words.
She was shocked.
Why did the male and female leads' progress suddenly increase?
Xie Xing looked around.
Xie Yuze also suddenly came to his senses, and he was startled.
What does this sound prompt mean?
Song Yingqiu was even more confused. Male and female leads? What are male and female leads?
