Chapter 324 (The End) (Part 1)
Another fifteen minutes later—
"Separate the family? Why separate the family? We should separate the family while our parents are still alive!" Upon hearing about the separation, Princess He stood up and loudly objected without thinking.
“We’re planning to go back to the countryside. Your three children are all grown up now, and it’s not suitable for you to live together,” Xia’s father emphasized again.
"We won't separate from our parents while they're alive!" Princess He said through gritted teeth, emphasizing her words.
The subtext is: the family will not separate while Xia's father and mother are still alive.
"boom--"
The table next to where Xia Mo was sitting was smashed to pieces by Xia Mo, scattering across the floor with a loud crash.
Xia Mo understood the subtext in Princess He's words, and so did Brother Xia and the others, whose expressions turned ugly.
“Father, Mother, I’m sending Princess He back to her parents’ home. We’ll discuss the division of the family property when I return,” said Brother Xia.
"Did I say something wrong?! I said nothing wrong!" Princess He shouted loudly, her neck stiff.
Brother Xia's face turned pale and then red. Not wanting to hit his wife, he simply looked at his only son and said, "Xia Yazhi, you take your mother back to her parents' home!"
The eldest son is long gone. Now, sending Princess He back to her parents' home is sending her to the home of one of her two brothers. It's no wonder her sister-in-law won't give her a good look.
"You can't treat me like this! I gave birth to your son! And I helped manage the entire Marquis's mansion! Even if I didn't do anything great, I still put in a lot of effort!" Princess He roared at Brother Xia.
"You said you were the eldest sister-in-law and wanted to manage the household, and your parents gave it to you without hesitation. You said you worked hard to raise your son, but how could you put a little girl in his room when he was only twelve?! You said you had worked hard even if you didn't have any merit, but this family is going to fall apart because of your resentment!" Brother Xia was so angry that his chest heaved.
The younger sister cares most about her parents, but Princess He kept saying, "While our parents are alive, we don't separate from our family," as if afraid that those present wouldn't understand the deeper meaning behind her words.
"It's your fault that I feel resentful! Neither of your two younger brothers have taken concubines, and you two are brothers from the same father and mother, yet you have taken concubines! You always think about your younger sister, your parents, but never about me being your wife..."
Princess He poured out all her grievances at once.
"Just now, I was wronged because of your little sister, and what about you? Did you defend me?!" Princess He felt so wronged that her heart ached.
"You insist on admitting it, huh? Fine, I'll say it then: I'm the one who wants to take a concubine?! You've been putting women in my room and even drugging me!"
Brother Xia suppressed his anger and forced out the words through gritted teeth.
Those present were all stunned to hear that Brother Xia was taking a concubine in this way.
Xia Ersao and Xia Sansao both looked at Xia Dasao in disbelief. Their eyes looked at Xia Dasao, Princess He, as if they were looking at a fool or an idiot.
The husband doesn't want a concubine, yet he eagerly sends his personal maid to her, and even drugs his own husband—these are things they would never do.
“I always think about my little sister. In my heart, she’s family. You don’t treat her like family, but you won’t allow me to treat her like family either?!” Brother Xia’s forehead veins bulged out.
After a pause, Brother Xia continued, "Does that mean that after you get married, your eldest and second brothers shouldn't continue to treat me as family?!"
Princess He pursed her lips, her eyes red and filled with tears, glaring at Brother Xia with a wronged expression.
“You could have driven Aunt Lin away, couldn’t you?!” Princess He asked, choking back tears.
"You gave her a drug that would prevent her from having children, and I drove her away. Are you going to watch her die?!"
Brother Xia couldn't control his temper and raised his voice to demand an explanation.
Princess He was so frightened that her body trembled violently.
"If I were that kind of person, do you think you'd still be standing in front of me now, spouting your twisted logic and arguing with me?!" Brother Xia chuckled self-deprecatingly.
“Father, don’t be angry. Let Mother go back to her parents’ home for a while, and she will understand,” Xia Yazhi also stepped forward and said.
Princess He looked at her only son in disbelief.
Her son didn't protect his mother; instead, he sided with outsiders!
Princess He felt that Brother Xia's sudden anger towards her today was all Xia Mo's fault!
“Father, Mother, this title is because of my younger sister, and I… have to consider Ya Zhi and can’t divorce my wife at will, and my wife is… I am not worthy to inherit this title,” Brother Xia lowered his head in distress, and a sob escaped from his throat.
"Xia Yazhi, your father is giving up the title! It's yours! You are the eldest son of the Xia family, and this title can only be yours!" Princess He shouted at her only son as soon as she heard that her eldest brother Xia was not going to inherit the title.
“I also thought that this title should be inherited by me, the eldest son, but Father is right, this title is because of my aunt,” Xia Yazhi often met with Princess Huihe.
Princess He would constantly bombard Xia Yazhi with a bunch of fallacies.
Fortunately, Second Brother Xia helped to hire a skilled tutor. With an upright and honest tutor, Xia Yazhi was not led astray by Princess He's irresponsible behavior.
"you……"
Princess He couldn't believe it.
The title is gone just like that?!
"Your Majesty, I can divorce your elder brother, please don't target him or help him with his title," Princess He turned to Xia Mo and pleaded, but her words made it seem as if Xia Mo was using the title to pressure her.
“The title was given by me…” Huangfu Qian immediately said, “Since it is no longer needed, it can be taken back.”
"Thank you," Brother Xia and Xia Ya bowed in thanks.
"The title is taken back, but this mansion is still yours," Huangfu Qian said, looking at Brother Xia. He felt that Brother Xia had had a hard time. He turned to look at Xia Mo beside him, his hawk-like eyes filled with appreciation.
"Thank you very much," Brother Xia said again, clasping his hands in thanks.
“These are the houses, fields, estates, etc. that I allocated to you beforehand. Each of you will receive one,” Xia’s father hurriedly interjected when he saw that Princess He had stopped talking.
"Father, Mother, you are getting old... Why don't you stay in the capital to retire?" Xia Erge felt a pang of pain in his heart.
The three wooden boxes were each held in one of the three brothers' hands.
“Hehe,” Xia’s father chuckled without saying a word.
The health of their entire family had been improved by Xia Mo using pills, and they were expected to live to be two hundred years old. Xia's father was only in his sixties, and he was still far from reaching the age of two hundred.
"You too, when you reach sixty, remember to leave on your own initiative," Xia's mother reminded her worriedly.
The medicine given at the end of summer cannot be given to anyone outside their family. But there will always be people who are curious about why Brother Xia and the others have lived for so long. If they live too long, it will be a curse rather than a blessing.
"Ah."
……
After the family division was completed, Princess He was still sent back to her elder brother He's house.
Xia's father and mother did not want to stay a moment longer, so they traveled lightly and left the capital with Xia Mo and Huangfu Qian.
Congratulations!
With the Heavenly Dao no longer restricting the emperor, Huangfu Qian was able to cultivate!
Using the immortal spiritual power transformed from this world, Huangfu Qian successfully cultivated to the Life Spirit stage in just a few years! He can live for five hundred years and maintain his best appearance from when he was thirty!
Time flies, and though it seems to pass slowly, it quickly comes to the time when Xia's father and mother reach their two-hundredth birthday...
Xia Mo's initial thought was to stay by Xia Da Ge's side and wait until Xia Da Ge and the others also reached their two-hundred-year limit.
But she had an epiphany and understood a lot. After waiting for the two hundred years that Xia's father and mother had to live, she decided to leave the Green World with Huangfu Qian, whose feelings for her remained unchanged, and go to a larger world of cultivation.
