Dry Garden.
During the time Zhao Ying was recuperating, Shangguan Shu came every day, morning and evening to visit him, and he was even less attentive than when he paid his respects to his deceased mother...
In order to trick him into a divorce, Zhao Ying had no choice but to endure it.
But there was one thing that made her particularly confused.
Shangguan Shu is selling his shop to raise money!
Zhao Ying subconsciously thought that he was trying to help Zhao Yao pay off the loan, but it didn't make sense. Shangguan Shu could have paid the money Zhao Yao owed without selling any of his property!
Most of Shangguan Shu's wealth was left to him by his mother.
The old Duke's wife comes from a prominent family with a rich family background. If Shangguan Shu moved all of this, it means the amount of money is very large!
Could it be that he wants to raise an army to raise military funds?
Zhao Ying was frightened by her own thoughts. She quickly asked Li Ma to go to the palace to inquire. As a result, Li Ma came back and said that Zhao Yao was bedridden and it didn't seem like the noise came from there.
Zhao Ying became increasingly puzzled.
It happened to be noon, and Shangguan Shu went to have lunch with her as if nothing had happened.
Zhao Ying hinted at it, but Shangguan Shu remained silent. After a while, he said... According to the laws of the Great Chu, their divorce was his fault, and he would give her half of the family property.
She didn't want to accept it, but he said that after the divorce, he would give her the children. It would cost a lot to take care of so many children, and he would still give her enough alimony every month in the future...
Zhao Ying's heart sank when he heard this.
It's just that things in this world are unpredictable.
If she hadn't made the wrong marriage back then, perhaps Shangguan Shu would be... a good person?
But, if it's alimony, you can just give it to her directly, there's no need to convert it into silver...
Before leaving, Shangguan Shu gave her a bottle of medicine, saying it was the antidote to the poison in her body.
He didn't come again in the next few days.
Houzhu said that when Shangguan Shu left her that day, he went to Ning'an Hall to explain to the old Duke that the two had agreed to divorce. The old Duke was furious and beat and scolded him, and even made him kneel in the ancestral hall for several days.
After hearing this, Zhao Ying admired him in her heart.
Not as a wife, but as an outsider.
A man who sticks to his decision is worthy of admiration.
Afterwards, Zhao Ying found a time and called the children over. Yue'er was not there, and she was young, so she would not react too much to her parents' impending divorce.
Zhao Ying first said that she and Shangguan Shu were going to divorce.
Startled the baby's cry...
After all, in their eyes, their parents are a rare loving couple.
Zhao Ying still didn't want to tell the story of Shangguan Shu and Zhao Yao, as it would hurt her reputation. Moreover, she didn't want to use her children as knives to incite revenge on Shangguan Shu. Her children wanted to grow up happily and not be full of hatred.
She just said that they had some disagreements and maybe they would reconcile someday.
This was also the excuse she used to deceive Shangguan Shu.
But she knew very well that once she left...she would never be able to turn back.
Shangguan Qingwan was a girl after all, she was a little fragile and cried very sadly.
Shangguan Qiyou was still young. He had just returned home, and his parents were about to separate. He was very reluctant to leave, and his eyes were red.
"Shangguan Chengjing" was just curious about what happened between the noble princess and the prince, and why it was so serious that they divorced?
Shangguan Bailin was the most astute. He had always paid close attention to state affairs and had heard a fair share of gossip. He seemed to know the reason behind his parents' divorce... It had something to do with their Aunt Huai'an...
Before, his father asked for a title for Hu Yanxue, and he was angry with his mother. Later, he met Zhao Zihua by chance. She joined forces with several children to bully him, and proudly told others that even if his father knew that she was the one who beat him, he would not blame her!
The intentions of Aunt Huai'an and her family are clear to see.
He was so angry that he slapped Zhao Zihua several times. He was scared after that. Zhao Zihua cried and said she would go to his father to complain. He returned home anxiously, waiting for his father to settle the score with him, but... a long time had passed.
Shangguan Bailin looked at Zhao Ying in front of him, the love in his heart surged like a tide, and a blush appeared in the corners of his eyes.
He loves his mother so much...
He would not allow anyone to hurt his beautiful and gentle mother!
Even daddy can’t do it!
Let’s get a divorce. He can become the pillar of the family and protect his mother!
Zhao Ying gave them a few more instructions, which were that after the divorce, she would take them to live in Guangming Palace for a few days, and then they would move to the Princess Mansion after the renovations were completed.
After Zhao Ying finished speaking, she called the children over one by one, hugged them and kissed them. They were the apple of her eye, and for their sake, she had to become strong!
After sending the children away, Zhao Ying planned to take a nap. Just as she dozed off, she heard Hou Zhu calling her, "Your Highness, wake up! Something bad has happened!"
"What happened?"
"Princess Huai'an has brought the young lady back to call for justice!"
Zhao Ying suddenly sat up from the bed.
…
Xi Garden.
So lively.
Shangguan Shu, Zhao Yao, Huyan Xue, Shangguan Qingyue, and three servants, Yu Xi, Yu Jie, and Wu Yonggui, were all present.
Shangguan Shu's face was pale and his whip wounds had not healed yet, so the old Duke took ruthless action.
Zhao Yao looked like she was about to be buried in the ground. Her eyes were fierce, but her face was like a sesame cake, white... and covered with dense black spots.
It makes people feel numb...
Shangguan Shu took a look and then looked away, suddenly realizing who had done this!
Fortunately, he has become accustomed to being visited by victims seeking justice.
Shangguan Qingyue sat on a chair next to Shangguan Shu, her feet dangling in the air, her big black eyes looking from one to the other, filled with cunning and innocence...
