Chapter 153: Taking care of the overall situation 3
Hearing Aunt Qiu's "yes", Xia Chiwan stood up and helped the "weak" Xia Boran to the head of the house.
After Xia Boran sat down, Xia Chiwan touched the hem of her skirt and knelt down heavily in front of Xia Boran.
She knelt down on the sky and on the ground, kneeling on her parents.
Aunt Qiu is not worthy of her kneeling, but Xia Boran is her biological father, so she deserves to kneel down!
"Dad, for the sake of the Prime Minister's Palace, I hope you can take the overall situation into consideration. As Aunt Qiu said, my eldest brother has always been a sensible person, and his heart is dedicated to the Prime Minister's Palace and to Dad."
"So, for the sake of the Prime Minister and my father, I am definitely willing to sacrifice myself to preserve the Prime Minister's mansion!"
After saying that, Xia Chiwan turned around and faced Aunt Qiu, with tears in her eyes.
"My eldest brother is indeed a good person, and Aunt Qiu is even better. In order to preserve the prime minister's palace, I am willing to sacrifice my eldest brother. Aunt Qiu, my father will definitely understand how good you are!"
After saying that, Xia Chiwan faced Xia Boran again.
"Dad, Aunt Qiu just said that she is willing to accept anything to protect the prime minister's palace. Wan'er hopes that dad can see that Aunt Qiu and my eldest brother have a pure heart and fulfill their wishes."
"What's the meaning?"
Xia Boran's eyes widened and he looked at Xia Chiwan in astonishment.
What Aunt Qiu said just now was to force Xia Chiwan to agree to come forward and ask the General's Palace to protect the Prime Minister's Palace.
Why, in the blink of an eye, Xia Chiwan's words changed everything Aunt Qiu had just said.
"Dad, don't be reluctant to let go. After all, you and the Prime Minister's Mansion are the most important. It's worth it to give up my eldest brother to protect the Prime Minister's Mansion!"
Who said you have to go to the General's Mansion?
As long as Xia Zixuan is sacrificed and Xia Zixuan takes the blame alone, nothing will happen to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Aunt Qiu is even willing to risk her own life. If dad still doesn't agree, won't it be a waste of Aunt Qiu and my eldest brother's hard work?"
Xia Chiwan also kowtowed to Xia Boran.
"I hope that for the sake of the prime minister's house and yourself, I will take the overall situation into consideration and fulfill Aunt Qiu's wishes."
Originally, these women had all agreed upon it, but today they were desperate to get Xia Chiwan to agree to this matter.
Who would have known that the tide of conversation would change completely.
Seeing Xia Chiwan's look, Xia Yuxin blinked, pulled Aunt Tao, and followed Xia Chiwan to kneel down, providing silent support.
Someone took the lead, and Aunt Zheng was not stupid enough to kneel down. Then the taciturn Aunt Zhao and Xia Lixi also knelt down.
No matter who is sacrificed, as long as they are not sacrificed to preserve the prime minister's house, they have no meaning.
Xia Chiwan, who did not raise his head, had a cold look in his eyes.
Doesn’t Aunt Qiu like to talk about benevolence and righteousness the most, and she keeps saying that she is willing to sacrifice everything for the sake of the prime minister’s house?
Today, she fulfilled Aunt Qiu’s heart of “dedication”!
Xia Chiwan continued to speak.
"Aunt Qiu has thought carefully. The easiest and fastest way is for the eldest brother to shoulder all the mistakes alone. Aunt Qiu, you have worked hard for the prime minister's house."
Xia Chiwan had tears in her eyes and looked at Aunt Qiu with great gratitude.
"Xia Chiwan, you are too cruel, how can you put all the faults on my eldest brother alone!"
Xia Furong, who had been watching outside, saw Xia Chiwan talking to herself and wanted to force Xia Zixuan to death. Xia Furong couldn't hold back and rushed in and accused Xia Chiwan.
Xia Chiwan glanced at Xia Furong coolly.
"Who kindly opened the Fat Powder Hall on his own and caused trouble? In fact, I have always been curious about whether dad was short of food or clothing for the eldest brother. The eldest brother was so ambitious that he didn't even discuss the powder hall with dad.
