The Eldest Princess stood to one side, thoroughly enjoying the spectacle.
Suddenly, Xie Jin'an dropped to his knees before her.
Whoa!
Now the drama had landed in her lap.
A trace of amusement entered her eyes. Her lips parted slightly. "Oh? How would you like me to save her?"
Xie Jin'an was beside himself with excitement, completely ignoring Xu Rourou, who was trembling like a sieve beside him.
He said, "It's simple. Just announce to the world that Rou Rou is your biological daughter, and my father won't dare do anything to her! Please save her!"
"So it's that simple!" The Eldest Princess narrowed her eyes with a smile, then asked Marquis Jing'an, "If I really did that, would you spare Rou Rou's life?"
Marquis Jing'an instantly calmed down.
In a hoarse voice, he replied, "Yes. If you reveal her identity, I will naturally let her go."
"And if I refuse to grant your wishes, what will you do?" The Eldest Princess's tone suddenly turned icy.
They actually dared threaten her?
And with such a laughable excuse!
How utterly stupid!
Yet Marquis Jing'an steeled himself and replied, "If you refuse to acknowledge her, I will kill her to avenge my mother!"
The Eldest Princess laughed aloud. "Heh. Then kill her. I have no daughter!"
The moment those words fell,
Xu Rourou, whom Xie Jin'an had just helped to her feet, collapsed limply to the ground again.
An unnatural silence settled over the scene.
The people from the Xie family did not dare breathe loudly. They simply stared blankly at Marquis Jing'an and Xie Jin'an.
Father and son exchanged a glance, each seeing shock and profound disbelief in the other's eyes!
Xia Siheng watched from the sidelines with his arms folded. He had Jing Wu bring over stools, then fetch fruit
