"Heh... The heavens must want to destroy our Great Xia. That Powerful Minister holds the court in the palm of his hand, silencing everyone with a single word. Not one person, up or down the court, will speak for my Xie Family. All because I refused his shameless demand, he frames and slanders us..."
A bitter smile on his face, Xie Qing slumped to the ground.
Xie Yunshuang was just as furious, his fists clenched tightly, but he knew that in this situation, the Xie Family was utterly helpless, with no way to fight back.
In the imperial court, even His Majesty Emperor Xia remained silent, not daring to offend the Prime Minister over this matter. What hope did anyone else have?
"My Xie Family is not the kind to sacrifice a daughter for glory..."
"That Prime Minister is so shameless! He actually wanted us to send Jianjia to the Prime Minister's Mansion. How could we yield even a single step to such bullying?" Xie Yunshuang said.
Xie Qing's expression remained one of utter misery.
