“Huan Er, help me in.”

“Yes.”

Hearing Old Madam Xue’s voice, Jiang Peihuan supported her and walked inside.

Seeing this, Xue Ru instinctively followed, but she heard Old Madam Xue’s emotionless voice, “She’s not allowed in!”

Upon hearing Old Madam Xue’s words, the guards at the door immediately stopped Xue Ru.

“Get out of the way. Do you know who I am? I am the Prince Qing side consort. How dare you stop me.”

Looking at the people blocking her, there was only humiliation in Xue Ru’s eyes.

She watched as Jiang Peihuan supported Old Madam Xue inside, while she was directly blocked outside.

Looking at Jiang Peihuan’s figure, Xue Ru’s eyes were filled with hatred.

But upon hearing her words, Old Madam Xue sneered, “If you want to show off your side consort status, go back to the Prince Qing Mansion. You’ll never step foot into the Xue family again.”

“Close the gate!”

Then the doors of the Xue’s residence were immediately shut.

Through the crack of the door, Xue Ru saw the indifferent expressions of everyone inside. Even though their faces seemed nonchalant, to Xue Ru, they were openly mocking.

She no longer looked at Old Madam Xue but turned to Wang Fengyi, “Mother, won’t you stand up for me too?”

Tears filled Xue Ru’s eyes. Although Wang Fengyi had her reasons for raising Xue Ru, it was impossible to say that there was no affection over the years.

So upon hearing Xue Ru’s voice and seeing her tears, Wang Fengyi looked very concerned.

Just as she was about to step forward, her sleeve was grabbed by Xue Zhi.

“Mother, remember what grandmother told you.”

Hearing her son’s voice, Wang Fengyi immediately recalled the words of Old Madam Xue.

She then loosened her grip and followed everyone inside.

The gates closed right in front of Xue Ru.

With her face full of tears, Xue Ru really cried this time out of anger.

“Secondary consort, we…”

“Back to the mansion!”

Xue Ru interrupted her maid without letting her finish. Wiping away her tears vigorously, she got on the carriage, her gaze towards the Xue family’s gate full of resentment.

At the Xue residence,

Although Old Madam Xue had declared that Xue Ru wasn’t a part of the family, her expression remained stern.

Supporting her down in a chair, Jiang Peihuan handed her a cup of hot tea, “Grandmother, have some hot tea first.”

Taking the teacup from Jiang Peihuan, Old Madam Xue slowly drank some tea.

After putting down the teacup, Old Madam Xue looked at Xue Yan, “Xue Yan, from now on, you don’t have to show any consideration for Xue Ru.”

“If she does anything, you don’t have to be merciful.”

“I understand, Mother.”

Hearing Old Madam Xue’s words, Xue Yan nodded.

Originally, Xue Yan had some affection for her only niece. However, after the incident with the letter, she had no more feelings for Xue Ru.

After all, if it wasn’t for Jiang Peihuan being prepared, the entire Jiang family would have perished.

Just thinking of this, Xue Yan couldn’t forgive Xue Ru.

When the Xue family came, they didn’t bring much. But when it was time to return, Xue Yan prepared many things. Nonetheless, packing went quickly.

After lunch, the Xue family prepared to leave.

Jiang Peihuan and Xiao Nanye escorted the Xue family to the city gate.

Sitting on their horses, Xue Qi and Xue Zhi looked at Xiao Nanye and Jiang Peihuan, softly laughing, “King Cheng, please take good care of Huan Er.”

“Rest assured, 1 will.”

“When you have time, you might consider taking Huan Er to Qing Zhou for a visit.”

“Of course, I will take her there when the time is right.”

Xiao Nanye wasn’t irritated by their reminders but responded seriously. This made the Xue family even more satisfied with him.

Standing beside Xiao Nanye, Jiang Peihuan watched the scene with a slight smile. She knew he wasn’t a gentle man, but he showed a softer side towards her family.

“Mother, please take care!”

Seeing Old Madam Xue boarding the carriage, Xue Yan’s eyes reddened.

With tears in her own eyes, Old Madam Xue held Xue Yan’s hand, then ordered the curtain to be drawn.

The news of the Xue family leaving the capital spread quickly and reached the Prince Qing’s mansion.

“They returned directly to Qing Zhou?”

“Yes.”

Sitting in his chair with whip marks still visible on his face, Xiao Junhao’s expression darkened.

Seeing Pei Wu nod, Xiao Junhao’s eyes darkened.

“And Xue Ru?”

“She left the mansion today, but the Xue family didn’t let her in.”

“Ha…”

Hearing this, Xiao Junhao chuckled coldly, a chilling edge in his smile.

At this moment, footsteps approached. Looking up, Xiao Junhao saw Xue Ru.

“Your Highness.”

Xue Ru greeted him. But when she met his eyes, she shivered, sensing his anger.

But when she looked up, Xue Ru couldn’t help but shiver. Xiao Junhao was looking at her with a terrifying expression.

That expression didn’t seem like he was looking at a person, but something disgusting.

“It seems you failed in every task I set for you.”

“Please forgive me, Your Highness.”

As Xue Ru knelt, she promised, “I will find a way to get my father on your side. Please believe in me.”

“Why should I believe in someone who can’t even enter the Xue family’s gate?”

Before she could respond, Xiao Junhao grabbed her by the throat.

Xue Ru had barely said a word when Xiao Junhao grabbed her by the neck.

Looking into her terrified eyes, he whispered, “I don’t tolerate incompetence. If you’re worthless to the Xue family and to me, then there’s no reason for you to live.”

He tightened his grip. Pei Wu, watching from the side, wanted to intervene but hesitated, aware of Xiao Junhao’s recent volatile mood.

“Your Highness, if you kill Side consort Xue now, others might be displeased.”

At that moment, Jiang Yan entered the room. Seeing Xue Ru, now turning purple, she quietly spoke to Xiao Junhao.

Hesitating briefly, Xiao Junhao eventually released his grip.

Gasping on the floor, Xue Ru convulsed, struggling to breathe.
