Ning Que left.
Lin Xianhong didn't even glance at it.
"Humph, he's going too far!"
"You don't want to divorce, but you want to divorce your wife?"
"Don't you even consider your own virtue? Do you think you deserve it?"
"I think he's just after the lady's dowry!"
The Dafeng Dynasty was a country with strict etiquette. If a woman was divorced, she would be guilty of one of the seven grounds for divorce. Such abandoned women had no human rights and could not even take away the dowry they brought to their husband's home. This was equivalent to being kicked out of the house with nothing.
"That's all he cares about."
Lin Xianhong coughed lightly.
He didn't even want to mention Ning Que's name.
But she forgot that her dowry was provided by Prince Ning's Mansion.
Ning Que just wanted to take back what belonged to him.
"Madam, don't worry about it. Ning Que cares about you the most. He used to lose his temper often, but he would turn around and try to please you. This time, he did it on purpose. He's just being petty and angry, and he wants to attract your attention."
"That's right! Ning Que loves to hang out in places of entertainment and is an expert at playing hard to get. He said he wanted to divorce his wife, but in reality, it was just a trick to attract his wife."
"I never cared about him."
Lin Xianhong turned away indifferently.
Ever since Ning Que drugged her and took possession of her by force, her good impression of him vanished. In her eyes, Ning Que was nothing but a greedy, lustful, and despicable villain!
It would be fine if he drugged her, but he dared not admit it and let the housekeeper take the blame. Every time she recalled it, she felt sick!
"Xianhong!"
"Xianhong!"
"father?"
Lin Jiang, dressed in a red official robe, hurried in. He was Lin Xianhong's father, a sixth-rank official who served as Director of the Ministry of Personnel. He was cunning and slick, a seasoned official.
"How are you now?"
"fine."
"That guy just came?"
"Um."
"Ning Que is still clamoring for a divorce."
"Divorce?" Lin Jiang laughed out loud and said disdainfully, "He really likes you, he's just jealous. Even if he had ten times the courage, he wouldn't divorce you."
"Um."
"only……"
"What?"
Lin Jiang pondered for a moment and said softly, "But, after all, you are pregnant with royal blood. Even with the Queen Mother's support, Ning Que can still use the banner of Prince Ning. In the end, you will be the one who suffers!"
"Don't be afraid."
Lin Xianhong didn't care.
She is where she is today thanks to her own efforts.
She is a famous female doctor in Chang'an!
He was a third-rank official and a big shot in front of the Empress Dowager!
"What did that kid from the Gu family say?"
"General Gu..."
A blush appeared on Lin Xianhong's face.
"General Gu and I have known each other since childhood, and we are childhood sweethearts."
"He used the Ning Wang case as a pretext to suppress my Lin family, and then he was high and mighty and showed favor to my Lin family. He did all this just to force me to marry him."
"General Gu has promised that as long as Ning Que and I separate, he will use a sedan chair carried by eight people to ask for my hand in marriage. Then I will be the mistress of the Gu family and take charge of the household!"
"real?"
"Haha, good, good!"
Lin Jiang laughed and nodded.
"The Gu family is currently at its peak. Gu Yuan is still young, but he's already a first-rank general. With another three to five years of hard work, he'll surely be able to become a Duke. In time, even being crowned a king of a different surname won't be a problem!"
The Ning Wang Mansion has fallen into decline.
Now I'm just holding on.
In fact, they were all privately discussing the possibility that Prince Ning's murder was orchestrated by Emperor Feng. Prince Ning was the regent, possessing immense power and commanding all the troops. He was an obstacle to Emperor Feng's unification of power and must be eliminated!
So, what kind of trouble can Ning Que stir up?
Whether we can defend Prince Ning’s Mansion is a question.
The Gu family is at its peak and is a rising star among military men.
Gu Yuan is a man of both civil and military talents, and is bound to become a great man.
"only……"
"What?"
Lin Jiang looked troubled and whispered, "Your sister's wedding is imminent. The Jiang family finally agreed, but they're asking for a rather large dowry. Ning Que was originally in charge of this, and now..."
"No need to beg him."
Lin Xianhong didn't take it to heart at all.
He turned proudly and looked out the door.
"I saved General Gu, and the Gu family will help. Besides, I'm a third-rank female medical officer, and the Empress Dowager even bestowed some rewards on me a while ago. Father, I believe in me. Without him, I'll only live a better life. Don't try to threaten me like this again!"
…
…
At night.
Emperor Feng rubbed his eyes with a headache.
The Ministry of War just sent a memorial requesting a reward for Gu Yuan's success.
The Ministry of Rites prepared for discussions with Xiliang.
The Ministry of Revenue needs to organize the finances for the year.
All kinds of trivial matters fell on his shoulders.
"Your Majesty, please drink some calming tea."
"Um."
Manager Hu came forward and brought some calming tea.
He has been serving Emperor Feng since he was young.
He is over fifty years old and has great martial arts skills.
In the past, he even lost an arm while protecting Emperor Feng.
Emperor Feng took a sip and let out a long sigh.
"My royal brother's calming tea is quite effective."
"yes."
"Summon him to the palace tomorrow." Emperor Feng cheered up and said calmly, "He has reached adulthood and should have inherited the throne and helped the country. But he spends all day hanging around a woman, unafraid of being laughed at by the world. Since Lin Xianhong is pregnant, it can be considered that Princess Ning's last wish has been fulfilled."
"well……"
Manager Hu sighed softly.
The person that Emperor Feng was concerned about was Prince Ning.
Soon, he changed the subject.
"He's so stubborn!"
"I have no objection and support for expanding the Ning Wang Mansion. But if he doesn't touch that woman, how can he expand his family? In the end, I had to help him and secretly drug them. He is a prince after all, but he doesn't take concubines or wives, only the daughter of the Lin family!"
