Chapter 968 After Becoming the Heroine 12
The person on the other side had already thought of a response to the question raised by Xiao Mian. When Tuoba An found him to be Xie Yuer's father, he knew what he should do.
Such enormous wealth just fell into his head. No matter whether Xie Yu'er was his biological daughter or not, she was his daughter on the surface, and his status was equivalent to that of the father-in-law of the emperor. Therefore, Xiao Mian could not expose this matter no matter what.
"That's because Ya'er has been sickly since she was young, and I have been raising her in Jiangnan. Now that the emperor is selecting a concubine, I have brought my daughter back home."
"What nonsense," Xiao Mian accused angrily.
Then Xiao Mian accused Tuoba Andao, "Don't think that just because you gave Yu'er a new identity, I don't know the truth."
"You forcibly took my wife away. Even if you find all kinds of excuses, you can't change the facts. After today, everyone in the world will know about this. Can you let me not say anything? Let's see if you can stop the world from talking about it."
After all, there was a past relationship. Although Tuoba An was angry at Xiao Mian's ignorance, he only said, "Lord Xiao is drunk. Someone, take him away."
Xiao Mian sneered, "Oh, even if you pull me down now, it won't change the fact that you are just a hypocritical person."
The guards who entered the hall were quite considerate. They grabbed Xiao Mian and dragged him out. One of them even covered Xiao Mian's mouth to prevent him from speaking. In the end, Xiao Mian was dragged out unwillingly.
After Xiao Mian was dragged away, the ministers in the hall kept silent about what had just happened, as if nothing had happened. Tuoba An was the emperor, and since the emperor was determined to cover up this matter and really wanted Xie Yuer to be the imperial concubine, they had no ability to stop it.
There were only one or two civil officials who were ready to die admonishing Tuoba An not to indulge in women and forcibly seize his wife, but Tuoba An said, "People are just similar. The imperial concubine has nothing to do with the concubines in the Marquis Xiao's mansion."
If this is the excuse, the identities have already been arranged, and even if they question it, they cannot provide any substantial evidence, so the matter is a foregone conclusion.
After Xiao Mian was dragged out, he met Ran Qi. At this moment, Ran Qi was still dressed as the elegant and noble queen. Compared with Xiao Mian's embarrassment, she looked superior.
"Lord Xiao, you look ridiculous now. Your good brother and your woman have betrayed you, and the only person who truly loved you was killed by you."
"Yu'er was forced, he didn't betray me"
"Didn't you hear clearly whether Xie Yu'er betrayed you or not? If she hadn't betrayed you, she would still be a concubine in your mansion. How could she have become a noble concubine?"
The fact that Xiao Mian didn't want to admit in his heart was said by Ran Qi. He pointed at Ran Qi in anger and said, "I know you hate Yu Er. You think Yu Er killed Yan Er, so you are trying to sow discord between us. I won't be fooled."
Ran Qi didn't care whether Xiao Mian was fooled or not. She just said, "Really? Then take your Yu'er back. Do you think she will go with you?"
"The emperor has been friends with you for so many years. As long as Xie Yuer doesn't want to, he won't force her."
Xiao Mian snorted coldly and said, "Yu'er will come back with me."
Xiao Mian left and headed towards the harem. Normally, outsiders were not allowed to enter the harem, but Xiao Mian knew how to avoid the palace guards, so he came to Xie Yuer's bedroom quietly.
Xie Yuer didn't expect that she would see Xiao Mian again under such circumstances.
She had thought about it over the past few days. Although it was her mission to capture Tuoba An, she was unwilling to let go of a handsome man like Xiao Mian.
In ancient times, powerful women could keep countless male lovers, so why couldn't she? And it would be more exciting, wouldn't it?
So when Xiao Mian appeared in front of Xie Yuer, Xie Yuer quickly responded with a face full of resentment, "Xiao Lang, why are you here? Go away, this is not the place you should be."
Xiao Mian grabbed Xie Yu'er and said, "Yu'er, I'm here to take you back. I know you don't want to be a concubine in the palace. Come with me."
Xie Yuer pushed Xiao Mian away and said, "Go away. I am a noble concubine now. What is your status? If I go with you, will I go back to be a concubine who can be bullied by everyone?"
"No, Yu'er, you are my wife. I will marry you when I return."
"You go, you go, I won't go back with you"
Although she said cruel words, Xie Yuer's face was already covered with traces of tears. Anyone who came could see Xie Yuer's reluctance, and she said these words against her will.
Xiao Mian must have seen it. When Xie Yuer pushed him away, Xiao Mian hugged Xie Yuer tightly and said, "I won't leave. You are my wife. I will take you back now."
Xie Yuer patted Xiao Mian, "I won't go with you, go back quickly, this is not the place for you."
Xiao Mian still refused to let go. After a struggle, Xiao Mian finally asked the question that Xie Yuer had been waiting for for a long time, "Did Tuoba An force you? Yuer, don't be afraid."
"He is the emperor. He has the final say in this world. How can I not be afraid?"
"Xiao Lang, do you think I want to enter the palace? You know, I only have you in my heart, but...but if I... "
Xiao Mian asked anxiously while Xie Yu'er was hesitant to speak, "Did he threaten you? Yu'er, don't be afraid. Even if he is the emperor, he can't steal my wife."
"But he is the emperor. What should I do if he wants to kill you?"
Now Xiao Mian was certain that Xie Yu'er had him in her heart. It was Tuoba An who threatened Yu'er, which made Yu'er become his concubine. He couldn't let Yu'er sacrifice herself for him like this, so he wanted to take Yu'er away.
"Don't be afraid, Yu'er, I won't leave you alone in the palace, I'll take you away right now."
Xie Yuer shook Xiao Mian's hand away. "Let me go. Take me away? Where can you take me? Tuoba An will not let me go, nor will he let you go."
"Xiao Lang, you are the Marquis, and you are still so young. You cannot die because of me. I am just an orphan. As long as you are alive in the future, I will be satisfied."
Xie Yuer's words moved Xiao Mian deeply. A woman who loved him so much was even willing to sacrifice herself for him.
"Yu'er, you don't have to do this for me. I don't want it."
Just when Xiao Mian was still moved and was hugging Xie Yuer to express his feelings, Tuoba An opened the door and asked, "What are you doing?"
