He was a little confused at this moment, and had no idea what to do? He finally got the chance to fight for the court, but it was gone just like that?
As for taking his anger out on Fu Wenzheng, he couldn't do that, because after all, she was the one he asked to be there.
This can be considered as digging a hole for yourself.
He walked out of the hall in a daze and happened to meet the Second Prince who looked not very good.
He pulled the corner of his mouth, "Second brother, are you satisfied now?"
If Fu Wenzheng wasn't doing this for the second brother, how could she do such a stupid thing?
Liang Hengshao raised his eyebrows, "What should I be satisfied with? Your own princess did something stupid, what does it have to do with me?"
He is also very depressed now, okay? Fu Wenzheng's sudden move not only made it more difficult for him to win over Shi Qingluo, but also disrupted his previously deployed plan.
The third brother has close contacts with Jiangnan, and he has hinted to Fu Wenzheng to steal those account books and evidence.
Now that she has been transformed from a prince's wife to a concubine, it would be difficult to steal her.
Of course, if the third brother is still indulging that stupid woman in his hot-headedness, his plan can go ahead.
Liang Hengxiao showed a bit of sarcasm on his face, "It has nothing to do with you, how dare you say that."
"Take care of yourself." He said this and turned and left.
His father asked him to hand over the task in his hands to the second son, and then see if the second son can take it over.
Seeing Liang Hengxiao leave with a sullen face, Liang Hengshao's expression became even uglier.
He cursed Fu Wenzheng in his heart again, calling her a woman who was always causing trouble but could not do anything good.
When Liang Hengxiao returned to the Third Prince's Mansion, he heard the butler reporting.
"Your Highness, the princess has been making a fuss, saying she wants to see you."
Liang Hengxiao rubbed his brows, "What happened again?"
He returned home as soon as he left the palace, so the imperial edict to deprive the prince of his wife had not yet arrived.
The housekeeper replied, "The Queen Mother sent a few nurses to the mansion, saying that she wanted the princess to learn the rules."
He looked at the Third Prince cautiously, and then said, "She also said that she had no manners and brought shame to the royal family. If she can't learn well, she should not leave the house."
Liang Hengxiao paused. He didn't expect that the Queen Mother would also intervene.
But then he remembered that Xi Rui went to the palace yesterday to ask to see the Queen Mother, and not long after, Xi Rong also went and returned to the palace.
I guess these two people must have said something in front of the Queen Mother, which led to this incident.
For the first time, he felt very tired. "Then let her learn some rules."
Fu Wenzheng had indeed gone too far, and what the censor had reported in the court today had also opened his eyes.
He always thought that she was just willful and domineering, but it was also because of this character that she gave him a sense of vitality.
But I never expected that she was so cruel.
What made him most uncomfortable was that the women she dealt with were all related to the second brother.
Does she really want to marry the second brother?
Did he do something wrong? He ordered, "Don't call her the Third Prince's Consort anymore."
The housekeeper was confused, "Then what should I call her? If not, I'm afraid the princess will be unhappy."
Liang Hengxiao said, "Today in the court, my father has demoted her from wife to concubine. She will only be a concubine of the Third Prince's mansion from now on. Do you understand?"
The housekeeper was shocked. He never expected that the Third Prince's wife would be demoted to a concubine.
This is the first time such a thing has happened in the royal family. How big a mistake must one have made to anger the emperor and issue such an imperial decree!
"Yes!" he said hurriedly and respectfully.
Liang Hengxiao thought about it and decided to go to the backyard.
It's actually ridiculous to say that he and Fu Wenzheng didn't live together.
He had married her for nearly a year and had never touched her.
She resisted her husband touching her.
As I walked into the yard, I heard Fu Wenzheng's somewhat shrill scream.
"I don't want to learn, you guys go away."
The three old maids looked gloomy and said, "This is the order of the Queen Mother. You have no say in it."
See Liang Hengxiao walk in.
Fu Wenzheng's uneasy heart calmed down instantly.
"Liang Hengxiao, please let them go. I don't want to learn any rules."
She had never learned any rules before she got married, so why should she learn them now that she is the prince's consort?
Hearing her arrogant tone that sounded like an order, Liang Hengxiao said calmly: "This is the imperial grandmother's decree, and I can't resist it, so you just learn it obediently."
Why bother making such a fuss when you know you can't resist? Fu Wenzheng was unhappy when she heard this, "Can't you go and plead for me? Why are you so useless?"
These words made Liang Hengxiao's heart shrink, and he couldn't help but say: "I am very useless, then who is not useless, Liang Hengshao?"
Fu Wenzheng was stunned, obviously not expecting him to say such words to her.
"You were the one who begged me to marry you. What do you mean now?"
She started to get mad, "I don't want to be the prince's consort anymore, okay?"
As usual, as long as he said this, Liang Hengxiao would come to coax him humbly.
This time, Liang Hengxiao showed a smile that Fu Wenzheng couldn't understand, "You really don't need to be the prince's consort anymore."
She used to threaten him with this often before, but now, she has done it herself.
Fu Wenzheng's expression changed, "Liang Hengxiao, what do you mean?"
"Do you think I want to be the Third Prince's consort? If you don't explain yourself clearly today, you will never set foot in my yard again."
In the past, she was used to acting arrogantly in front of Liang Hengxiao, and always felt that he would still coax her like he used to.
Liang Hengxiao closed his eyes and said, "You'll know later."
"Stop making trouble and calm down."
After he said that, he suddenly didn't want to stay here anymore, so he turned and left.
The sound of Fu Wenzheng cursing could be heard from behind, which made him even more exhausted.
Soon, the news that the third prince's wife was demoted to a concubine spread throughout the capital.
This is naturally the credit of Xi Rui and others.
They ran to the largest restaurant in the capital, but instead of going to the private rooms, they went to the lobby downstairs to celebrate while drinking.
Many of the things Fu Wenzheng did had been spread by Liang Youxiao's people.
So everyone in the capital knew that she had persecuted many women.
He had framed women from wealthy families, forced women of lower status to marry horsemen or porters, and hired people to destroy women's innocence.
Outside the capital, he also enclosed the fertile land cultivated by the people and used it to raise horses for fun, but he paid very little for it.
No matter where she is, as long as she likes something, she will force her to buy it back.
She also beat several maids to death to prevent the third prince from taking concubines or touching other women.
All these things came out one after another, making people who heard them feel disgusted.
Because of their preconceived impressions, everyone applauded when they heard the result.
Especially the women who were harmed by Fu Wenzheng, after hearing the news, some of them cried with joy, shouting "Retribution, this is retribution, it's what they deserve!"
After an hour, the eunuch who was in charge of announcing the decree from the palace went to the Third Prince's residence.
Fu Wenzheng, who was already tired of making trouble and was sulking at Liang Hengxiao, received the imperial edict.
Then his face was full of disbelief. How, how is this possible?
Being demoted to a concubine was simply a humiliation for her.
