Chapter 446 Divorce Zhou

Jinwang Mansion.

Princess Huayang sat at the table, her elegant face stained with anger, which was rare. She said coldly, "What did Jinchuan say?"

Qingque said respectfully: "Your Highness, the people sent did not see the prince. It was the An Yi generation beside the prince who spread the word."

As soon as the words fell, the room suddenly became dead silent.

Having served the Princess for many years, Qingque knew this was a sign of her anger and hurriedly explained, "Princess Yong'an saved the Prince's life and healed his legs. It is only right that the Prince should come and thank her in person.

You have watched the prince grow up. If he is truly ungrateful, wouldn't that be a waste of your and Your Majesty's years of careful instruction?"

Hearing this, Princess Huayang's expression eased slightly, and she sighed softly, "Jinchuan is indeed old enough to get married. When other people's sons are his age, they would have at least two or three children.

But he has kept so many playthings in his house before getting married, and the whole city knows about it. Which respectable family would be willing to send their own daughter to be a stepmother?

Not to mention, that child named Zi Yan is not only precocious, but also thoughtful and hard to deal with easily."

Mentioning this, she was filled with rage, and said with a gloomy face, "If he hadn't acted first and asked for permission later, I would never have allowed him to raise these wild children in my house.

Of the several consorts I've chosen for him, which one couldn't give him a push?"

Qingque pondered and said, "The prince has always had his own ideas. He did not tell Your Highness about this matter at first. Perhaps he did not want Your Highness to worry about him."

As she spoke, she changed the subject and said, "The prince is acting more and more absurdly now. As a prince, he is busy trying to please a woman all day long.

How can such behavior be worthy of His Highness's painstaking efforts?"

Princess Huayang lowered her eyes and said in a cold voice, "Don't ever mention such treasonous words again."

"But Your Highness has worked so hard for so many years, and now that the time is ripe, how can you allow the prince to act according to his wishes?" Qingque was puzzled.

In addition, they felt more indignant for their own master.

She was so angry that she said, "If it weren't for Your Highness's kindness, the prince would have died with his ill-fated mother long ago, and there would be no chance for him to be raised by Your Majesty.

Not to mention, I have the good fortune I have now."

Princess Huayang frowned and scolded, "Qingque, don't be so presumptuous."

Although she said this, her face showed an unconcealable disappointment.

Qingque consoled him, "Your Highness, don't be too sad. Your Highness Prince Ruojin is truly useless."

She paused, then lowered her voice and said, "Your Majesty, he is not the only prince of the right age."

Princess Huayang narrowed her eyes slightly, her voice tinged with chill, "Qingque, you're becoming more and more outrageous."

Qingque saw that she wasn't truly angry, so he boldly said, "Prince Xuan has been clever since he was young, and he asked Your Majesty for grace to leave the palace early on. Although he's using the excuse of sightseeing, how can we be sure he's not just sitting back and watching the tigers fight?"

"You mean the fourth one?"

Princess Huayang smiled and shook her head, saying firmly, "He doesn't have the courage."

"Your Highness, you can only know a person's face but not his heart."

Fearing she wouldn't believe it, Qingque tried to persuade her again, but she overheard her say, "On the day of the coup, the fourth and fifth sons, wanting to play around, hid under the desk in the East Palace's study."

"Didn't the two princes witness it with their own eyes..."

Qingque's expression suddenly changed, and he decisively covered his mouth halfway through his words.

If this were spoken out loud, it would be a serious crime that would lead to the confiscation of property and extermination of the entire clan.

Princess Huayang raised her eyes and suddenly smiled, "Look at how cowardly you are! As long as I am here, no one in Da'an will dare to touch you."

Qingque came to his senses, but did not dare to speak without restraint as he had just done.

After hesitating for a long time, she asked softly, "Your Highness, what do you think of the Ninth Prince born to Concubine Li?"

"What can a baby who can't even speak see?"

Princess Huayang's eyes suddenly lit up as she spoke, and she added meaningfully, "His biological mother, Concubine Li, is quite clever. She's truly the apple of the Right Prime Minister's eye, the apple of his eye, whom he has doted on since childhood."

Qingque walked forward and massaged her shoulders, saying with a half-smile, "There is no shortage of smart people in the harem, and all of them are as beautiful as flowers, as tender as flower buds.

Whether or not you can be favored, and how long you can be favored, is not just a matter of your Majesty's thoughts? "

She thought for a moment and then said, "After all, Concubine Li now has the Ninth Prince by her side, so she will have someone to rely on in the palace from now on.

In the future, even if it's just... mother and child, they'll still have someone to look after them."

Princess Huayang laughed when she heard this, playing with her cup and saying, "You, your mouth is getting more and more powerful."

"Your Highness is making fun of me again."

Qingque secretly glanced at her face while she spoke. Seeing that her mood had improved a lot, he tentatively asked, "Your Highness, how about the prince?"

"Let him be. I want to see who is more loyal between the father and the son."

Recalling the past and thinking of some people and things that made her unhappy, Princess Huayang said with a cold face: "Have someone keep a close eye on the imperial study, and wait until the girl from the Zhuang family leaves the palace, and find an opportunity to send a message to her.

Three days later, I will go to Shuzhuang to taste her cooking skills myself."

"Yes, Your Highness."

As Qingque turned around, Princess Huayang stopped her and said in a deep voice, "Before that, keep an eye on my two good nephews, so they don't rush around and scare her."

General's Mansion, Fushou Hall.

Lin Tingye, with a pale face, protected Zhou behind him. He looked at the face in front of him that looked three-quarters like his own with uncontrollable anger and said through gritted teeth, "Second brother, you are trying to force me to death!"

Lin Tingfeng had a sullen face and remained unmoved.

He had only one request.

That is, he asked his elder brother to write a letter of divorce and divorce Zhou.

The Lin family could not tolerate a third daughter with a damaged reputation, and even less could they tolerate an eldest sister-in-law who harbored evil intentions and only wanted to disrupt the peace of their family.

If Eunuch Zhu had not arrived at the right time yesterday and saved her from danger, he would have had her unborn child aborted, written a letter of divorce on behalf of his eldest brother, and sent her back to the Zhou family.

We allowed her to stay one more night because she had taken care of her mother and elder brother over the years, and even if she had no merit, she had worked hard.

He didn't expect that she was so ungrateful. She took advantage of his absence to go to his mother and gossip about other people's affairs, which made her so angry that she vomited blood.

He couldn't get rid of the hatred in his heart unless he killed this vicious woman!

Seeing that Lin Tingfeng had made up his mind and there was no room for maneuver, Lin Tingye gritted his teeth and knelt down in front of him with a plop.

Although a man's knees are made of gold, he has to kneel when he is forced to do so.

"Brother, what are you doing?" Lin Tingfeng's face changed immediately.

Lin Tingye pushed away his hand that was about to support him, and said with a sad face: "Second brother, let me tell you the truth, everything I said yesterday was true."

He closed his eyes in pain, gritted his teeth and said, "The child in your sister-in-law's belly is my only flesh and blood in this life."

Lin Tingfeng withdrew his hand, and his eyes became complicated in an instant.

After a while, he said coldly: "Big brother has been married for some years. In addition to the two concubines and four maids at home, he also keeps two women who are not presentable.

So many women's bellies are still quiet, how can you be sure that the one in Zhou's belly is your own child?"
