Second Madam Xie was thunderstruck.
Her cries were anguished, almost wailing, as she pleaded with Second Master Xie.
"Husband, we've been through so much for so many years, and you're going to divorce me over this one thing? You can't do this!"
Second Master Xie's face was livid. He completely ignored her pleas.
A house servant presented paper and a brush. He dipped the brush in ink and began to write.
Xie Suzhi held Shen Ningning and sighed softly.
'He didn't want his younger brother to make an impulsive decision.'
However, if the Emperor were to discover that the Xie family had disregarded the greater good by allowing the Second Madam of the house to use Evil Magic to curse the female general fighting on the border...
Then their political enemies would surely seize the opportunity to impeach them, accusing the Xie family of being disloyal and treacherous!
The problem would become far more severe then.
Second Madam Xie dropped to her knees before Second Master Xie.
