Chapter 154 Liu Ming's Promotion
Fu Zhixing clenched his hands, which were red from being scalded by the tea, and the indifference in his eyes was like the cold frost in winter.
"madman."
He spat out two words coldly and walked away.
"stop!"
Liu Yueyao looked at his back and roared, "Fu Zhixing, you must give me an explanation today! Otherwise, I will divorce you!"
"It's not a divorce, it's a divorce." Dai's stern voice came from outside.
She took the servant's hand and walked in with a cold expression.
"Since you entered the mansion, our Fu family has not had a single day of peace."
"Of the seven grounds for divorce for a woman, you have three: disobeying your parents, childlessness, and jealousy. These are enough to divorce you."
Liu Yueyao's eyes widened as she pointed at Dai and Fu Zhixing and said, "You, you ganged up on me!"
"I'll tell my father!"
Unexpectedly, Dai was not afraid at all. She raised her chin slightly and said, "Then go now! Our Fu family is not afraid of a fifth-rank official."
The master of the Fu family made great contributions to flood control and was awarded a fourth-rank official position last year. He was also highly valued by the emperor. The Dai family would naturally not be afraid of a fifth-rank ceremonial official who had no power.
"You! You'll regret this!"
Liu Yueyao screamed and ran out of the study, but accidentally tripped over the threshold and fell heavily to the ground.
Although Fu Zhixing was furious, he couldn't help but step forward when he saw his wife fall, but Dai stopped him: "Why are you still trying to help her?"
"She is no longer our daughter-in-law."
"Mother!" Fu Zhixing frowned.
"I can't divorce my wife."
Even though Yueyao had many faults, they were still husband and wife after all. It was also true that he once loved Liu Yueyao. Considering their past relationship, he would never divorce Liu Yueyao.
If Liu Yueyao really doesn't want to live with me anymore, then we can part ways amicably. A letter of divorce will do the trick.
Liu Yueyao, who had fallen to the ground, looked a little relieved after hearing this. However, before she could get up, she felt a sharp pain in her abdomen.
She gritted her teeth: "My stomach hurts..."
Fu Zhixing quickly stepped forward to help Liu Yueyao up: "Yueyao, where did you fall?"
Liu Yueyao clutched her lower abdomen tightly, sweating from the pain: "I don't know, my stomach hurts so much."
"Stomachache?" Dai felt something was wrong the more she thought about it, and walked forward to look at Liu Yueyao.
As expected, her green dress was gradually stained red by a trace of blood.
Dai was startled with fear, her lips trembling: "Quick! Go get a doctor."
Fu Zhixing picked up Liu Yueyao and carried her sideways, striding towards the main hall.
Dai followed closely behind with a pale face.
After putting Liu Yueyao down, Fu Zhixing saw that the warmth on his hand was actually bright red blood.
His hands trembled and a chill of fear ran down his spine.
Dai sighed and shook his head, saying, "After so much blood loss, I'm afraid it can't be saved."
It was already the afternoon of the next day when Liu Yuetang learned the news.
The main hall is well ventilated and faces the sun. When Liu Yuetang has nothing to do, she likes to lean on the Luohan bed and read.
As she flipped through the pages of the book, she listened to Liu Zheng say, "Ying'er said that the eldest lady had a miscarriage because of an argument with Fu Zhixing and her mother-in-law. When she woke up, she cried uncontrollably and immediately took a sedan chair back to the Liu Mansion. She's currently recuperating there."
Ying'er was a maid in the Liu Mansion and had once served Liu Yuetang.
After Liu Yuetang entered the palace, she was asked to keep an eye on the movements in the Liu Mansion and inform herself in time if there was any news.
Liu Yuetang stroked the pages of the book and raised her lips lightly: "Qi Rumei treasures her daughter the most. I'm afraid the family will be in turmoil again."
"Your Majesty, are you going to take action now?" Liu Zheng asked softly.
She knew that the reason her young lady entered the palace was not just to rise to the top and change her own destiny.
More importantly, the Qi mother and daughter must pay a heavy price for their past actions.
Liu Yuetang flipped the pages of the book carelessly with her fingertips and said with a leisurely smile, "There's no need to rush."
At the beginning, Liu Yueyao snatched Fu Zhixing away, claiming that Fu Zhixing loved her alone and would live a thousand times better than her.
Now that Liu Yueyao has tasted the sweetness, she must be allowed to carry it through to the end.
Let her understand how happy and perfect the man and marriage she worked so hard to get are.
Soon after he finished speaking, a voice calling for an audience with the Emperor came from outside.
Liu Yuetang quickly put down the book and stood up to greet him.
Xiao Heng was in a good mood today and came in with a smile on his face.
Just as Liu Yuetang was about to kneel down to salute, he strode forward and took her hand.
"There's no need to be so formal in private."
Xiao Heng held Liu Yuetang's hand, sat down, and held her in his arms.
"I have something I want to hear Miaomiao's opinion on."
Liu Yuetang was slightly puzzled: "What does the emperor mean?"
Xiao Heng said gently, "I intend to promote your father to the position of Minister of Rites. But I remember Miaomiao once said that the relationship between you two is weak. You have suffered many grievances at home, and I am afraid that if I promote him, Miaomiao will be unhappy."
Liu Yuetang thought for a moment.
In fact, she had thought about this problem when she entered the palace.
She hated Liu Ming, but he was still her biological father after all.
Although he didn't care about himself, he never abused or beat himself.
There is no need to risk your future to deal with Liu Ming.
Before entering the palace, he said something that made a lot of sense.
When one prospers, all prosper; when one suffers, all suffer.
If Liu Ming could have a place in the court, it would also be beneficial to him.
Throughout the dynasties, the family background of the imperial concubine must be superior.
If Liu Ming continues to hold the position of doctor, it will be difficult for him to get the position of imperial concubine, let alone the position of concubine.
After all, she is just a concubine's daughter.
Therefore, Liu Ming's promotion will bring more benefits than disadvantages to himself.
Thinking of this, Liu Yuetang smiled and said softly, "The harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs. Even my father should be decided by the emperor. If my father does his job well, the emperor can promote him. But if the emperor promoted my father just now because of me, then... please rescind your decision."
Liu Yuetang knew that Liu Ming had been a doctor for ten years and should be promoted according to the rules.
After hearing Liu Yuetang's words, Xiao Heng's eyes were filled with satisfaction and admiration: "Miaomiao is always so sensible."
He placed his broad palm on Liu Yuetang's waist and rubbed it. "Although your father was not a competent father, he was a diligent minister. I promoted him based on his talents and achievements. Of course..."
He hugged Liu Yuetang tighter and said softly, "I also have selfish motives. If Liu Ming's status in the court is higher, then your status in the harem can also be more honorable."
Liu Yuetang's expression was moved, and her eyes were like a pool of spring water, reflecting Xiao Heng's figure.
"emperor……"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for thinking so carefully about me."
After saying this, she hugged Xiao Heng, seeming to be deeply moved.
Xiao Heng's lips curled up slightly, and he stroked Liu Yuetang's back with eyes full of love and pity.
"Miao Miao always considers me in everything, so I naturally have to consider Miao Miao a little bit."
