Chapter 031 Chapter 31
The Minister of War sat there with a stern face. He did not speak, but just waited quietly for his wife to arrive.
The old lady panicked. She looked at the Minister of War and said sternly, "Rebellious son! Speak!"
The Minister of War looked at her coldly, and after a while he said, "Mother, you said...did you marry her for me or for yourself?"
The cousin, who had been lowering her head and not daring to speak, was now shocked. She looked at the Minister of War with a pale face.
The old lady was also startled. She covered her beating heart with her hands, and said with a hint of guilt in her angry voice: "What do you mean? Did your wife say something? I know she is unhappy that I asked you to marry your cousin. Besides! You are not at home every day, so your cousin should accompany me! What's wrong with being filial to you!"
The Minister of War sneered, stood up, looked at his mother and said, "I don't want to say more. Wait, wait for Madam to come over."
The door curtain was lifted, and a gentle and generous woman walked in. She asked with a hint of doubt on her face, "Why are you waiting for me?"
The Minister of War's eyes were sore after he looked at his wife. He came over and hugged his wife's slender waist and said with grievance: "Madam, my mother cheated on me."
As soon as these words were spoken, the old lady's eyes rolled back and she was about to faint, while my cousin's legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground.
It's over, they are finished...
After hearing the whole story, the Shangshu's wife's expression was quite subtle. She looked at the two people still lying on the bed and her face turned cold.
After thinking for a while, she said, "In that case, please ask mother to go back to her hometown, and cousin can go with her. It will be a good opportunity for me and my husband to serve mother."
Hometown!!!
The old lady said in a hoarse voice: "No, I won't go! You are unfilial! How can you send your mother back to her hometown!!"
She understood the meaning of sending her back to her hometown. Wouldn't it be good for her to be an old feudal lord in the Shangshu Mansion? She was the eldest in the family, and whatever she said was what mattered. She also had her favorite niece to accompany her. She could eat or drink whatever she wanted with just a word.
Being sent back to her hometown is different. She can't go back because she doesn't want to suffer.
The Minister of War looked at her quietly and said, "Sending her back home is the best outcome!"
When Cheng Yishu heard the news from the Minister of War's family, he had already heard that the Minister of War's mother wanted to visit her hometown, so he took the Minister of War's cousin back to her hometown.
As the Minister of War was missing from the court meeting, Cheng Yishu turned his gaze to other people.
Things in the Minister of War's family were very explosive, but the situation in other families was not much better.
He looked at the Deputy Director of the Ministry of Justice, whose name was Zhao Benqing. Although his official title was only Deputy Director, he had a strong backing.
There is no rule in Daxia that the prince consort cannot participate in politics, but it is the same. Here, no one will give you a backdoor just because you are the prince consort. It still depends on your ability.
Zhao Benqing is the fourth princess's consort.
Cheng Yishu looked at the man and touched the cat's head.
【Zhao Benqing... a miraculous innate soft rice saint...】
Zhao Benqing, who was just digesting the big news with his head down, felt a pang in his heart. Oh my god, the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground and crushed him to death.
He thought about his own affairs with a complicated expression. After thinking for a long time, he seemed to have nothing to say. What about being a gigolo? He didn't do that at all!
He was just about to hold his head high with confidence, but the next second, his defense was broken.
[He is also a strange man. He has been hanging out with girls since he was young. He was fed by them because of his face. Later, when he went to school, his grades were not good and the teacher could not give him special treatment. What did he do? He seduced the teacher's daughter...]
Zhao Benqing subconsciously looked at his princess wife, and he felt sick.
Isn't it? Is this just a gigolo? Didn't the woman ask her father to help her? Didn't he do anything?
[The first person who lived off others for money, immediately cut off ties with the person after he got his grades made up. After the exams started, he hooked up with the charming mother of the local prefect, coaxed her into a happy mood with his sweet words, and gave her money and recommendations to keep her going. As soon as he got some results, he kicked her out again...]
The Fourth Princess's face turned cold, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Zhao Benqing was as sharp as a knife. If it could be visualized, Zhao Benqing might have been killed by the knife right now.
He opened his mouth and was about to defend himself, but the doctor from the Ministry of Justice and another minister beside him slapped him to the ground. The officials behind him stepped forward and blocked him with their bodies.
Cheng Yishu, who was addicted to gossip, did not see this scene, but Xia Zhang saw it. He gave those people an appreciative look, not bad, not bad, full of martial virtue, and did not disturb his Shushu's mood.
As for the official who relied on women to get to the top and lived off them, well, there are plenty of people who can replace him.
Cheng Yishu looked at the Fourth Princess with eyes full of sympathy.
[The fourth princess may not know yet... She and Zhao Benqing met because of her mother...]
The fourth princess was a little desperate, wasn't she? ? Could this dead man have had a past with her mother? ?
Moreover, what hatred or grudge was there? Why did her mother harm her like this?
[At the most important moment, this man is still infertile!! Can’t have children!!!]
The fourth princess was desperate. She still had no children. She had seen countless doctors and taken countless bitter medicines, but she just didn't have a child.
She thought it was her own problem and felt guilty!!
She lowered her eyes and went home to divorce her husband! !
Zhao Benqing was pressed to the ground and his mouth was blocked by something. After listening, he knew clearly that he was finished.
But Cheng Yishu didn't let him go...
[The reason why the fourth princess' mother can't leave him is because he is open-minded and willing to play the fourth love with the fourth princess' mother...hiss, he is still the one at the bottom. ]
Zhao Benqing was so shocked that he rolled his eyes and fainted. All he wanted now was to sleep forever. Although he knew that the Imperial Master knew a lot of things, he didn't expect that he knew so much.
And...he is infertile??? Then the child he raised outside...is not his???
The Fourth Princess looked at Zhao Benqing viciously. When she returned, she would not only divorce her husband, but also send him to Nanfeng Pavilion!
Don't you like being suppressed? Then find someone to suppress him!
Moreover, she would go back and ask her mother what she really wanted to do!
Obviously, this family is what it is today because of her, why did her mother treat her like this!
Their family was originally a collateral relative, and it was because Xia Zhang liked her that he made her a princess. Only then did she gain power and the ability to protect herself, and their family gradually became better off.
It can be said that everything in the family depends on her.
So her mother treated her like this? ?
System Cat was very curious, and asked, "Why would the Fourth Princess's mother treat the Fourth Princess like this?"
Cheng Yishu was silent for a moment.
[It seems that the fourth princess’ mother is not her biological mother, but twins...]
The fourth princess was struck by lightning. Twins? ? How come she didn’t know?
[Ah, this is an extension of the bad custom of that place. The twin sisters have the same fate, and it is said that they will bring harm to the family, so one of them has to be thrown away. The fourth princess’s current mother is the one who was thrown away...]
System Cat suddenly realized, so...
[So, now it's Tao Dai Li Jiang. The fourth princess's biological mother has long passed away, so the current one should be considered her aunt.]
With a "pop", Cheng Yishu subconsciously looked over and saw the Fourth Princess fainted on the ground.
He blinked.
[Is today a fainting day? Why are there so many faintings? ]
The imperial physician who was waiting nearby took a quick step and gave the patient an injection, which worked immediately.
Cheng Yishu glanced outside, emmmm.
[I really need to go to court less often and work less often. Look how tired the children are. 】
The fourth princess just wants to go home now, this matter is never going to end!
[But it should be said that Zhao Benqing still has the capital, he has red lips and white teeth, and most importantly, he is good in bed...]
System Maomao understood, and said: "So, if you want to be a gigolo, you have to have the capital."
Cheng Yishu nodded.
[Bingo~ That's right, that's it. Oh, by the way, exchange the one made of paper for me. I almost forgot. Damn it, my mission points are going to be gone again. I haven't bought the other things yet!]
Cheng Yishu pursed his lips. He had been craving for seafood recently, but Beijing was far from the sea and he could hardly get any.
But what’s sold in the system mall are all frozen ones, and he wants to eat fresh ones.
[It seems that the current ships cannot go out to sea too far. The manufacturing level of the ships is too low. If you want to eat seafood, you still have to get a ship... After all, some seafood can only be found in the open sea. 】
Speaking of this, Xia Zhang was no longer sleepy. As a man with strong martial virtues, he was quite keen on things like fighting.
The reason why he can stay here peacefully now is, firstly, because it is just the beginning of spring, which is a good time for sowing and planting, secondly, the treasury is empty and needs recuperation, and thirdly, the surrounding countries are relatively peaceful. Even if he wants to start a war, he has to find an excuse.
When talking about the sea, we have to mention his biggest concern, Japan.
The Xia Dynasty’s navy was not good, and the shipbuilding technology could not keep up. Sailing on the sea required too high a physical condition, and it was easy to die after sailing on the sea for a long time.
So he hasn't conquered Japan yet.
At first, he thought that he could conquer such a large place for fun and use it as his private island, but in the end...
Before they even arrived at the destination, the navy was already in trouble.
Moreover, the ships of Japan are better than theirs, and because the terrain is not large and is surrounded by sea, they are extremely good at naval battles.
