Mrs. Chu nodded heavily.
“Well, none of the Zhou family members dared to say a word.
She has the most right to say this, after all, the child was given by her and the gods."
Nangong Yunxue agreed.
"Aunt, the Zhou family's affairs still depend on my cousin. If she still wants to go back, after she's out of confinement, we can all send her back. This will also be considered as supporting her.
If she doesn't want to go back, we should support her."
"Yeah! Xia'er said that she's already experienced death once and has let everything go. I guess she's given up on the Zhou family."
"In that case, you should talk to her again and make a decision as soon as possible to prevent the Zhou family from causing trouble again.
We as a family cannot let them control us."
Mrs. Chu's eyes were red: "I know! When Xia'er is one month old, I'll treat you to a feast!"
Nangong Yunxue didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Is this another request from Jiuer?"
"No, it was your grandfather who suggested it this time. Thank you Jiu'er for saving Xia'er and you."
"Hey, Jiu'er is famous for being a glutton.
I can’t wait until my cousin’s full moon, so I’ll come to the Chu Mansion to see her and the baby in two days.”
"Then you should worry more. The baby in your belly is more important."
"It's strange, but when I was pregnant with Jiuer, I was fine washing clothes and collecting firewood. I was very tough. But when I was pregnant with these two, I never expected it would be like this. I will be more careful next time."
Three days later.
Nangong Yunxue brought Nangong Jiu to the Chu Mansion.
Seeing the two children, he felt pity for them: "Look, these little ones are so cute!"
Nangong Jiu lay beside the crib. The two children didn't cry or make a fuss. One of them grabbed one of her little fingers and refused to let go.
"Hehe...Brother and sister, like me!"
Mrs. Chu smiled and agreed: "They know it was you who saved them."
After they chatted for a while, Nangong Yunxue asked Chu Xia, "Cousin, when we came to the Zhou family last time, your family seemed to have a good relationship.
Why did it become like this in such a short time?"
Chu Xia sighed.
"Things were fine on the surface, but starting in March this year, there were a lot of contradictions."
"March? Why?"
"Didn't my sister-in-law get married at the end of March? Before the wedding, my mother-in-law came to me and said that my sister-in-law didn't have much of a dowry and was afraid that her in-laws would look down on her.
Let me give the dowry shop to my sister-in-law as a dowry, so that she can marry in style."
"I definitely don't agree! My dowry is what our Chu family has accumulated over generations. It will be my future support. How can I give it away so easily?
Since then, my mother-in-law has always found fault with me, but I never took it to heart.
Until one day, she brought Chen Rouer to the Zhou family..."
"Did Zhou Lingchuan and her have that?"
"The two of them often behaved intimately..."
Chu Xia waved her hand to dismiss the people around her: "Mother, cousin, Jiuer, I have made up my mind, I want to divorce Zhou Lingchuan.
I have seen their ugly faces and I never want to see them again."
Madam Chu and Nangong Yunxue exchanged a glance and asked, "Xia'er, have you made up your mind?"
Nangong Yunxue also said: "Cousin, once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. Have you thought it through?"
"Think it through. Maybe I'll live a better life if I leave the Zhou family.
Don't worry, I am the daughter of the Chu family. I will not lose the integrity of our Chu family. I will live a good life with my two children and live up to Jiuer's efforts in saving us."
Nangong Jiu only said after hearing this: "I said it the other day, there is no divorce, only divorce!"
Several people looked at Nangong Jiu suspiciously: "Divorce your husband? That's not possible?"
“The Emperor will make the decision!
The Zhou family was wrong first, and now they want to climb over our Chu family girl and bully her. Are we giving them face?!"
The little person flicked his sleeves, his face full of determination, and his aura suddenly increased.
It was the first time for Nangong Yunxue to see Nangong Jiu so domineering, and she was stunned for a moment.
Jiuer is worthy of being the Queen of Heaven. How many people can match her aura?
Madam Chu looked at Nangong Jiu with joy: "Life is already difficult for women in this world. If you are also burdened with the reputation of being divorced, your life will be even more difficult.
If the emperor could decide to divorce them, Xia'er would be able to live with her head held high in front of the world, and no one would dare to say anything about her.
As for divorcing her husband? I don’t dare to think about it! "
Chu Xia even struggled to stand up and thank him, but was held down by Nangong Yunxue.
"Now that you've made up your mind, we'll help you. Rest assured and we'll go out and discuss this with Grandfather."
Mrs. Chu took Nangong Yunxue and her daughter to see General Chu.
General Chu was alone, sighing and drinking alone.
Madam Chu took a few quick steps and said, "Dad, Xia'er has made up her mind. She says she doesn't want to go back to the Zhou family."
"Has she really decided?"
"Um!"
"Okay, okay! The Zhou family is a den of dragons and tigers. Our Xia'er almost lost her life there. It's better not to go back.
As long as we have something to eat, we will not let them and their child go hungry.
I will now ask the Emperor to make the decision and allow them to divorce peacefully."
General Chu took out a paper bird and said, "Your Majesty, my eldest granddaughter has given up on the Zhou family. I beg Your Majesty to make a decision for us!"
Nangong Jiu snatched the paper bird and said, "Grandfather, that family is not good people. Divorce is too easy for them. I want my cousin to divorce her husband!
Don't they want to be promoted? If they can't even be a seventh-rank official, what's the point of that old woman putting on airs?
As for that vicious woman, if she wants to marry into the Zhou family, then let her marry Zhou Lingchuan, hehe..."
Soon, Emperor Dongling replied.
"Jiu'er, tell Grandfather Huang quietly why you let that vicious woman marry into the Zhou family? Do you have any plans?"
"Well, the snobbish Zhou family, having lost their official positions, must be taking their anger out on that vicious woman. Anyway, she wanted to harm my aunt and the child, and I'm going to make her suffer the consequences.
I'm the best at revenge."
"Haha...Okay, Grandfather Emperor will grant you your wish!"
Soon, several imperial edicts were sent out from the capital at full speed.
A few days later.
The eunuch who announced the decree arrived in Xizhou.
He went straight into the prince's mansion, met Liu Hao and his family, and presented them with the food that Empress Chen had brought.
"Your Highness, Princess, and Princess, the Emperor and the Empress have told you to take care of yourselves. If you want to eat anything, please send a message back.
If anyone dares to bully you, you will be the only ones to deal with them. The Emperor will take care of any consequences."
Liu Hao happily agreed and pointed at the two eunuchs who were delivering the imperial decree: "What are you doing?"
"The Emperor sent Gao Diao to the Zhou and Chen families to announce his decree, and ordered the servants to go to each one individually."
"What about the Chu family?"
"Yes. I heard that the Chu family is very close to the prince's palace. It's still early now, so I will go and announce the decree first."
"Okay! Go to the Chu Mansion first to announce the decree, then come to the Prince's Mansion to rest in the evening, and then go to the Zhou and Chen families tomorrow.
It's a long journey from the capital to here. After finishing my business, I will come to your house to rest for two days before returning to the capital."
"Yes, thank you for your consideration, Your Highness!"
Liu Hao called out to the mother and daughter, "Let's go to the Chu Mansion and listen to the imperial decree..."
