Chapter 114 The Crown Prince and Young Master Gu are fighting.

In Dafeng, men could divorce their wives and remarry, could remarry after their wives died, and could even have two wives and countless concubines. However, the law did not allow a wife to be demoted to a concubine. If an official dared to do so, he would not only lose his position but also go to jail!

Xiao Qingyuan did not hold an official position, but if he dared to take the lead in demoting his wife to a concubine, the emperor would be the first to not forgive him. Being punished by kneeling and confinement would be the least of his worries; he would be punished by being flogged.

Chu Yanluo didn't care about any of that. She raised her chin and said arrogantly, "Then you should divorce her. Anyway, you didn't consummate your marriage with her. The whole capital knows about it. After you divorce her, I can help her find a good family!"

Xiao Qingyuan was furious and blurted out, "What good family would want a divorced woman? If there were a good family, you would have married long ago, why would it be Shen Wantang's turn?"

Chu Yanluo's face turned pale: "What did you say? Xiao Qingyuan, are you saying I'm only staying here because I can't get married? Didn't you hear Young Master Gu say he wanted to marry me? Isn't the Gu family a good family?"

The Gu family is certainly a good family, but Xiao Qingyuan doesn't believe they would allow Chu Yanluo to enter the family.

Don't be fooled by Gu Qianhan's sweet talk about marrying Chu Yanluo as his principal wife. In reality, it will be very difficult for Chu Yanluo to even become a concubine. The rules of the Gu family are much stricter than those of the Ning Prince's Mansion. The daughter-in-law that Madam Gu has her eye on is Liu Nanshi, the daughter of Grand Secretary Liu. She is extremely picky and thinks that no young lady in the capital is good enough for her youngest son, not even a princess.

Unfortunately, Chu Yanluo couldn't see through all this. Xiao Qingyuan was furious and said coldly, "I can't let you go with Gu Qianhan. Don't even think about it anymore. Shen Wantang is the wife and you are the concubine. This is the best solution! I will give you enough dignity and let you live the same life as her. You have everything except the status of a legal wife. Is that not enough?"

Chu Yanluo, confident that Gu Qianhan was backing her up, refused without hesitation: "No way! If you won't let me be your legal wife, I'll leave you, leave the Ning Prince's Mansion, and never come back! You'll lose me forever, Xiao Qingyuan. Think it over carefully!"

As Jixiang listened to their heated argument, she couldn't help but look at her young master with admiration.

Young Master is indeed impressive. With just a few words, he stirred up the two of them to the point of confrontation, and they were arguing so much that even he couldn't get a word in edgewise!

Young master, your divisive tactics are truly masterful.

Gu Qianhan stood aside, not intending to interrupt. He occasionally glanced at the door and saw several shadowy figures moving there, knowing that someone was eavesdropping and watching the commotion.

Shen Wantang has a maidservant by her side, whose name seems to be Qin Xin or something. Jixiang said that she is a person who loves to watch the excitement and loves to watch and inquire about any interesting events in the capital. I wonder if Qin Xin is out outside at the moment.

If Qin Xin is outside, and things are in such a mess here, will Shen Wantang come over?

Gu Qianhan was slightly distracted and didn't notice what Xiao Qingyuan and Chu Yanlu were arguing about. He only came back to his senses after they stopped arguing.

Then, he stepped forward and punched Xiao Qingyuan hard: "Since you don't like her, then give her to me!"

Xiao Qingyuan was forced back several steps by the blow. Half of his face was in excruciating pain, and his mouth instantly filled with the taste of blood. He looked at Gu Qianhan with shock and anger: "Are you crazy? You dare to hit me?!"

"That's exactly what I'm going to do!"

Enraged, Xiao Qingyuan rushed forward and started fighting with Gu Qianhan.

He had sparred with Gu Qianhan before; they practiced martial arts together and often exchanged techniques.

Most of the time, he wins and Gu Qianhan loses.

But today, he was shocked to find that he could not withstand Gu Qianhan's moves at all. Gu Qianhan's punches were more than ten times more fierce than before, and her palm winds were fast and ruthless. Coupled with her leg skills, Xiao Qingyuan was instantly at a disadvantage and took many punches to his face and body.

Xiao Qingyuan roared, "This is impossible! You couldn't have suddenly become this strong!"

Gu Qianhan coldly punched him again: "I didn't suddenly become stronger. I've always been this strong. You didn't feel my strength because I've always been letting you win. From now on, I won't let you win anymore. I'll fight you, and I'll take your woman. Miss Chu, I'm going to take her away today."

Upon seeing the two fighting outside the door, Qin Xin immediately ran away.

She ran breathlessly into Princess Ning's courtyard and said urgently, "Princess, Princess Consort, the Prince and Young Master Gu are fighting! Young Master Gu seems to have gone too far in order to take Chu Yanluo away. The Prince is injured! You must go and see him quickly!"

Princess Ning was shocked: "What? Yuan'er is injured? Tang'er, quick, let's go to Xinghe Courtyard!"

Shen Wantang immediately stood up, took Ning Wangfei's arm, and hurriedly went with her to Xinghe Courtyard.

When they arrived, the two were still fighting, but it was clear to the naked eye that Gu Qianhan had the upper hand.

Princess Ning hurriedly said, "Stop! Stop fighting! If you keep fighting, someone will die! Don't you two hear me?!"

Unfortunately, the two men, blinded by rage, completely ignored her.

Shen Wantang stepped forward: "Young Master, Young Master Gu, please stop fighting!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Qianhan immediately stopped.

Xiao Qingyuan didn't stop. He punched Gu Qianhan in the face, causing blood to trickle from the corner of his mouth.

Shen Wantang was startled: "Your Highness, stop!"

Xiao Qingyuan then stopped.

Shen Wantang couldn't help but glance at Gu Qianhan. He didn't wipe the blood from the corner of his lips, but first greeted Princess Ning, and then nodded slightly to her: "Princess Consort, I apologize for disturbing you today. But I have a reason to take Miss Chu away, and I hope Princess Consort and Princess will understand."

Before Shen Wantang could speak, Princess Ning immediately said, "I understand that you want to take Chu Yanluo away, I completely understand, but you shouldn't have hit him! Qingyuan is still injured, aren't you trying to kill him?"

Gu Qianhan: "He's hogging Miss Chu and refusing to let her go, which is tantamount to taking my life."

Princess Ning looked at her son and saw that apart from some minor injuries, he seemed to be alright. Her mind raced: "Do you really like Chu Yanluo that much?"

"Yes, Your Highness, please grant my request."

"Okay, you can take her with you!"

Xiao Qingyuan panicked: "Mother, we can't let him take Yanluo away!"

"Shut up!"

Princess Ning glared at her son, then looked at Gu Qianhan: "Qianhan, you are also a child I watched grow up. I won't betray you. This Chu Yanluo is not a good person. If you want her, you should be prepared."

"Thank you for the reminder, Your Highness, but in my eyes, Miss Chu is the best girl in the world."

Princess Ning wanted to laugh out loud, but she felt it would be immoral. She forced herself to suppress the laughter and asked, "You won't regret it?"

"I will never regret it."

"Good, young people have backbone and spirit. Men, pack Chu Yanluo up and let Young Master Gu take her away!"
