The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 304 - 123: Divorce or Retire, Choose One?!

A somewhat heavy atmosphere.

Ye Qichi also felt a tinge of melancholy. How could she help Bai Mowan escape the marriage endowed by the Emperor and be with Xiao Jinxing without affecting her family?

Given the current situation.

Once she is divorced by Xiao Jinxing, since Minister Mansion has offended Xiao Jinsen by refusing him multiple times, Xiao Jinsen would certainly seek revenge. Xiao Jinxing would undoubtedly stand aside; he would never confront Xiao Jinsen head-on for the sake of Minister Mansion. Xiao Jinxing is not that noble.

Ye Qichi thought too much.

For a moment, she couldn’t really think of a better solution.

Xiao Jinxing watched Ye Qichi for quite a while.

Seeing the entanglement on her face, her emotions evidently downcast.

He thought to himself that Ye Qichi certainly didn’t want to see his feelings for Bai Mowan.

But he had also made his point clear before.

He met Bai Mowan first, and she had already taken root in his heart; Ye Qichi couldn’t compare.

And...

He wasn’t sure if it was an illusion, but there was always a voice telling him that Bai Mowan was his lifelong partner. No matter how well Ye Qichi treated him or sacrificed for him, as soon as he thought of doing something nice for Ye Qichi, a tremendous guilt would arise, reminding him of Bai Mowan, and he just couldn’t let go of her.

He thought.

This was probably the difference between love and being moved.

For Bai Mowan, it was true love.

For Ye Qichi, it was merely being moved.

He watched Ye Qichi quietly.

If Ye Qichi, for her selfish desires, took the opportunity to have Bai Mowan marry Xiao Jinsen.

He would, despite the cost of being cursed by everyone in the world, divorce Ye Qichi.

Such a tense space.

Ye Qichi said, "Return in three days, right?!"

Confirming the time.

Xiao Jinxing nodded, "Received a secret report, Wan’er has already started her journey back from the border."

"When is the hunting festival?" Ye Qichi asked again.

"In five days."

"That means after Bai Mowan comes back, she’ll still have two days to rest. I guess the Emperor will certainly choose the day of the hunting festival to grant the marriage. It would appear more solemn, and with so many officials present, Bai Mowan wouldn’t dare to refuse the Emperor’s face and disobey the order."

Xiao Jinxing nodded.

Indeed, that’s it.

The Emperor would definitely choose the day of the hunting festival, leaving Bai Mowan no reasons or courage to refuse.

"Do you know Bai Mowan has a cousin?" Ye Qichi asked Xiao Jinxing.

Xiao Jinxing frowned slightly, "What are you suggesting?"

"Bai Mowan’s cousin, Xie Ruiyao."

"Why suddenly bring her up?" Xiao Jinxing asked. freeweɓnovel~cѳm

Clearly having no interest in other women.

"Have you met her?"

"Never."

"She and Bai Mowan share a striking resemblance." Ye Qichi said.

Although he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes.

But the books described it clearly.

It said that at a glance, one might not be able to distinguish, whether it was Bai Mowan or Xie Ruiyao.

"You think, Xie Ruiyao can replace Bai Mowan," Xiao Jinxing said with a hint of sarcasm, "Xiao Jinsen wants to marry Wan’er, it’s not just because of his feelings for her, he values more, the military power behind the Bai Family."

"I know." Ye Qichi nodded.

But in the books, Xie Ruiyao indeed followed Xiao Jinsen.

And Xie Ruiyao’s feelings for Xiao Jinsen were also real.

Xiao Jinsen’s feelings for Bai Mowan were not exclusive; what he truly coveted was absolute power. To him, women were either tools for venting in bed or pawns to help him climb the ranks; there was no such thing as deep affection.

It can be said, Xiao Jinsen is thoroughly, a villain.

The kind that can’t be whitewashed.

"The Xie family, though not wielding real power in Duke Mansion, still holds status. Moreover, Xie Ruiyao’s grandmother is the elder princess of Daxuan Kingdom, the Imperial Aunt of the current Emperor. According to the rules, the Emperor would also yield three points of respect to her. If Xie Ruiyao could have some relationship with Xiao Jinsen, then it might be possible for Xiao Jinsen to marry Xie Ruiyao, completely severing his marital fate with Bai Mowan."

Xiao Jinxing looked at Ye Qichi, scrutinizing her stratagem.

Given that he also had informants on Xiao Jinsen’s side, he knew that Xiao Jinsen had indeed met Xie Ruiyao twice and was full of praise for her looks, mentioning several times that Xie Ruiyao resembled Bai Mowan closely, suggesting he also kept her in mind.

But yet.
