Chapter 34 Letter of Dissolution
Emperor Yongshun waved his hand and said, "Alright, get up. Lord Xie, this girl said that she didn't take the betrothal gift from the Marquis' Mansion and her biological mother's dowry. They are still in your Xie Mansion. Go back and count them, and return what should be given to the child."
Xie Junru agreed obediently and did not dare to say a word of rebuttal.
Emperor Yongshun said to Xie Junru earnestly, "My dear Xie, a harmonious family is the root of everything. If your family is not at peace, how can you serve the country?"
Xie Junru understood this sentence. It was the emperor's warning to him and also to Fang.
Xie Junru quickly thanked him: "Thank you for your advice, Your Majesty. I will live up to your expectations and work hard to serve the country."
"Well, you can leave now!" Zheng Sisi said before Emperor Yongshun finished speaking.
"Your Majesty, do I need to sever the marriage certificate to establish a daughter's household?"
Emperor Yongshun was also stunned for a moment and turned his head to look at Minister Zhong.
Minister Zhong bowed and said, "If the two families do not want to have any further contact, it would be better to issue a letter of severance."
"Thank you, my dear. This girl is so disappointed in you. Please write a letter to break off the engagement."
Xie Junru was helpless. The emperor had already spoken, so he had to write it. After Eunuch Mu prepared pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table next to him, he immediately wrote a letter of severance of engagement.
Eunuch Mu showed the letter of separation to the emperor. After reading it, Emperor Yongshun said, "It's OK. Thank you, my dear, and go back first."
Xie Junru bowed and took his leave, saying that he would go back to count Zheng's dowry and the betrothal gifts from the Marquis's Mansion.
When he left, he glanced at Zheng Sisi, as if he had never known this daughter.
Zheng Sisi didn't care about his stare, because she was not the real Xie Yunmei anyway.
Emperor Yongshun handed the letter of severance to Zheng Sisi. Zheng Sisi took the letter and touched it carefully before putting it away. She felt relieved. With the letter of severance, she would have no relationship with the Xie family in the future.
After Zheng's dowry is returned, she will treat the Xie Mansion as if it does not cause trouble for her. After all, the Xie Mansion has been severely damaged after returning Zheng's dowry, and only an empty shell is left.
Emperor Yongshun saw that things were almost done, so he said to Minister Zhong: "Lord Zhong, please arrange for someone to handle Xie girl's household registration information."
Minister Zhong bowed and said, "I obey your order!"
Emperor Yongshun said to Li Shangshu, the Minister of Rites, "Lord Li, you have also seen that some people have forgotten their roots. You should teach them a lesson in the future."
Minister Li folded his hands and said, "I obey your order!"
Zheng Sisi stepped forward and said cautiously, "Your Majesty, I am grateful for my mother's upbringing. Although my mother didn't stay with me for a long time, I miss her very much. So when I apply for household registration, can I change my name and take my mother's surname?"
Everyone in the imperial study was stunned.
Emperor Yongshun was also confused, and it took him a long time to ask, "Do you want to change your name?"
"Yeah," Zheng Sisi nodded repeatedly.
"What name do you want to change to?" asked Emperor Yongshun.
Zheng Sisi: "I miss my mother and am grateful for her raising me, so I took her surname Zheng and named myself Sisi."
"Zheng Sisi, Zheng Sisi, you are so thoughtful. Your mother can rest in peace. Changing your name will also be a comfort to the old Duke and his wife. I approve!"
Emperor Yongshun asked again: "How are you going to solve the real estate problem? Where do you plan to buy a house?"
Zheng Sisi blinked her big eyes and said, "Your Majesty, I want to buy a house from you. Which property do you want to sell?"
"Puff, puff..." several sounds were heard.
At this time, the Queen stood up and said, "Your Majesty, it seems that this girl has come to rely on you and wants to buy a house from you. I will not join in the fun. I will take my leave first."
The emperor also smiled helplessly: "Okay, Queen, go to bed early."
When the princes saw the queen leave, they also quickly stood up and took their leave.
