Yuan Wanru transmigrated into a book and, by a twist of fate, married the male lead, Lu Jiangnian. Before their marriage, he coldly and heartlessly declared, “I will marry you, but I will never a...
Chapter 344: Husband and wife fall out
Here, Yuan Wanru mentioned the Second Prince. The Second Prince’s mansion has been in a mess recently.
Ever since that day when Yuan Wanru and her husband exposed the Second Prince's impotence in the Third Prince's Mansion, the Second Prince's wife returned home that same day and questioned the Second Prince about the truth of the matter.
The gilded copper-nailed door of the Second Prince's Mansion was tightly closed in the twilight, but it could not block out the faint sounds of quarreling coming from the inner courtyard.
The palace maids held their breath and walked quickly along the corridor, not even daring to light lanterns for fear of being caught up in the storm.
"How long are you going to keep this secret from me, Your Highness?"
The Second Prince's wife looked at him angrily, "What happened at the banquet has spread everywhere. Now the whole capital knows that you... you..."
Her chest heaved, but the word stuck in her throat like a thorn.
The second prince stood with his back to her in front of the rosewood desk, playing with an enameled vase given by the emperor.
“Know what?”
He suddenly turned around and put the vase heavily on the table, "How dare you bring Lu Jiangnian's dirty words to me?"
The Second Prince's wife approached step by step: "Then Your Highness, do you dare to summon Imperial Doctor Gao to take your pulse?"
"presumptuous!"
The second prince shouted angrily, stood up, and was about to leave, but was stopped by the second prince's wife.
"Your Highness, you are not allowed to leave until this matter is made clear."
"Lu!"
The second prince was so angry that he pushed the second prince's wife away and said, "Get lost!"
He had endured enough humiliation, and Lu, as his princess consort, actually wanted to rub salt into his wounds.
The second prince couldn't bear it any longer and strode out of the room.
None of the servants surrounding the Second Prince's wife dared to come in.
Nowadays, none of the masters in the mansion are easy to serve. If you are not careful, you will be in trouble. It is better to stay away from them.
The Second Prince's wife would not allow them to have some leisure time.
"Someone, come and see where the prince went?"
After a long while, someone came back and said, "His Highness has gone out."
When the Second Prince's wife heard that she was not going to Concubine Liao, her emotions calmed down a lot.
However, thinking of Concubine Liao, she must know about His Highness's situation. After all, His Highness has been in contact with her these days.
So the Second Prince's wife packed up her things and went straight to Concubine Liao.
And Concubine Liao had also heard about the Second Prince's impotence at this moment.
She was shocked. No wonder His Highness had been...
It turned out that he was really no longer able to do it.
Thinking of this, Concubine Liao became extremely panicked. She was still so young, how would she survive the rest of her life?
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard that the Second Prince's wife had arrived.
Before Concubine Liao could go out to greet them, the Second Prince's wife rushed in aggressively and slapped Concubine Liao as soon as she entered the room.
This slap stunned Concubine Liao.
Originally, she was thinking about discussing with the Second Prince's wife how to treat the Second Prince's illness, but she didn't expect that Mrs. Lu would dare to insult her like this!
To be able to become the second prince's concubine, Concubine Liao's family background was not low. She had never suffered such injustice and was not prepared to endure it.
So, she slapped the Second Prince's wife with her backhand: "Second Prince's wife, you are going too far!"
Mrs. Lu did not expect that Concubine Liao would dare to fight back, and she retaliated without hesitation.
She was so angry that she didn't care about etiquette at all. She reached out to scratch Concubine Liao: "If you dare to hit me, I will beat you to death!"
Concubine Liao was not a good person either, she was also angry.
Recently, the Second Prince came and tormented her, but he couldn't satisfy her, leaving her hanging in the balance. Now, she has been involved in a scandal of impotence. Concubine Liao feels that she doesn't know how to live the rest of her life.
At least Mrs. Lu had a daughter, but she had nothing.
It seems like I have come to the end of my life.
In short, the two hostesses started fighting right away.
The servants around were stunned. When they rolled together, someone finally spoke: "Quick, pull them apart."
Unfortunately, both Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Liao were very angry and were fighting to the point of being inseparable. The servants were afraid of offending their two masters, so even though they wanted to separate them, they could not find a way.
All in all, the scene was hilarious.
When the second prince heard the news and rushed back, this was what he saw.
He was going mad.
"Stop it, what are you doing? Stop it now!"
"If anyone dares to hit me again, I will divorce her immediately."
After the words fell, Lu was the first to react and stopped her actions, but Concubine Liao was really furious. She still raised her hand and punched Lu, hitting the Second Prince's wife in the heart.
"Divorce me, I want to vent my anger."
"Your Highness, I was just sitting in my room, but the prince's wife showed off her power and came here, and without a word, she slapped me in the face!"
Concubine Liao looked at the Second Prince, tears falling down her cheeks: "I was raised with great pampering by my family. No one has ever dared to touch me in my life."
"Now I am being bullied like this under the nose of His Highness. I don't want to live anymore."
"If you want to take a break, then take a break. I'm going to get revenge anyway."
Concubine Liao is good-looking and quite suits the Second Prince's taste, otherwise he would not have doted on her.
What's more, the Liao family is of some use to the second prince.
Before leaving, the Second Prince was already feeling dissatisfied because of the pressure from his wife.
Hearing this, he didn't care about the Second Prince's wife's embarrassed appearance at the moment, and asked her harshly: "Lu, is this your upbringing?"
"Look at you, you are like a crazy woman now. You don't have the demeanor of a royal daughter-in-law at all."
"Go away, go back immediately and reflect on your mistakes behind closed doors."
The Second Prince's wife could not have imagined that the Second Prince would actually scold her like this in front of Concubine Liao.
"Your Highness, I am just..."
Concubine Liao sneered: "You are just like this because His Highness dotes on me, but Second Prince Consort, don't forget that you are the mistress, you should be broad-minded and have the grace to tolerate others."
"You are so jealous, you are worse than me."
The Second Prince didn't know that Concubine Liao already knew about his impotence.
Therefore, at this time, he would rather face Concubine Liao than the Second Prince's wife.
"Okay, no need to say anything more, leave here immediately."
Mrs. Lu looked at the Second Prince in disbelief, "Concubine Liao beat me, shouldn't Your Highness punish her?"
"Is there no respect or inferiority in this mansion?"
"If Your Highness does not severely punish Liao, I will go to the palace tomorrow and ask my mother to make the decision."
The second prince looked at her coldly. In the past, he thought that Lu was not bad.
Although she is not good-looking, she is loyal to him. I didn't expect that she would be so rebellious now.
Do you feel that he is "inhumane" and that you are superior to him?
The second prince's mind was extremely sensitive at the moment, and he could associate any random thing with this aspect.
The Second Prince's wife obviously did not understand his psychological activities. She just felt that the Second Prince had trampled on her authority. How could she control the women in the mansion in the future?
"Ms. Lu, what's the matter? You don't intend to listen to me, right?"
The Second Prince's voice was unprecedentedly cold, and the Second Prince's wife's expression was all frozen.
She always felt that the man in front of her was very strange, as if she had never met him before.
