Chapter 540: Who should I marry in a marriage contract with twists and turns? Part 2
After many twists and turns in the marriage contract, who should I marry? (21)
"Xiao Jing, let me ask you, who is your sister?"
Xiao Jing was startled and didn't know why, but he still replied, "Back to the emperor, my sister is Xiao Wanqing, Xiao's second daughter, and she was promised to Du Xufeng as his wife half a year ago. I'm just waiting..."
"Okay." The emperor stopped him from continuing.
Instead, he looked at Hongyun again, "Ms. Xiao, let me ask you, who is your daughter? Where is she at this time?"
When Hong Yun heard the emperor's question, she first trembled, then she trembled and stammered:
"Hui, Huihui, your Majesty, the daughter of a civilian woman is, Xiao Wanqing, she, she is, in..."
"Ms. Xiao, you must know that if you dare to tell a lie, you are deceiving the emperor, and deceiving the emperor is a crime of beheading. In worst cases, your family can be confiscated and your clan destroyed."
The emperor's voice was cold, with a murderous intent, and he rushed towards Hongyun.
Although Hongyun is a bit brave and has seen a bit of the world, she has never seen such a scene, let alone a person who can control the life and death of her and dozens of her family members with just one sentence.
Being so frightened, she felt weak and collapsed on the ground.
The emperor looked at her coldly, "Where is your daughter?"
"Back to the emperor, the people...the women of the people...don't know."
The voice became softer and trembling, and tears rolled down along with the word "I don't know."
She knew that if she said those two words, she would lose her daughter.
"Mom." Wan Qing called softly, her eyes moistening.
Even though she knew from the beginning that she was not the daughter of the Xiao family and that her parents were other people, she had never thought about it, let alone wanted to investigate her own life experience.
No matter what kind of prosperity her biological parents will bring her...
She had never thought about giving up the family relationship she had now.
For her, the family ties she has had over the past seventeen years are the most important thing.
"Mother!" Xiao Jing exclaimed.
"Madam." Xiao Tongwen also had doubts and surprise on his face.
Everyone else who knew them looked at Hongyun in surprise.
