Chapter 386 Good News
It’s no wonder that Shen Wan’s head was full of question marks, because the maid reported that it was the emperor who was about to split up the family with the old lady, not the prince.
It sounds like the old lady is the one who wants to split the family...
Did the maid report something wrong?
Shen Wan asked, "Who did the emperor allow to divide the family?"
The maid was a little confused. Wasn't what she just reported clear enough? So she repeated it word by word, "The old lady wants to divide the family, and the emperor agreed."
...This is even more outrageous.
Will the old lady want to divide the family?
Even if the sun rises from the west, this is impossible.
Chen Wan learned from Xie Jingyu that the prince would divide the family property, but she didn't know how it would be done. Not to mention that she didn't know, even if the maid reported it, she wouldn't understand.
The princess also felt strange, "What's going on?"
The maidservant then told the story of the Emperor's prospective wife's division of the family property:
At this morning's court session, the Emperor and his officials discussed some important matters, and then some minor matters. The Emperor was bored and was about to leave when the prince stepped forward and said, "The old lady in your household has been suffering from a heart disease for several days. No medicine can cure her, and her condition is getting worse day by day. I dare to ask the Emperor for a prescription to cure her heart disease."
These words stunned all the officials. The emperor even raised his hips, but lowered them again after hearing these words. "Let me prescribe a prescription?"
The prince said, "Your Majesty heard correctly. I am asking Your Majesty for a prescription."
The emperor smiled and said, "Tell me, what is your mental illness? Can I cure it?"
The prince said, "I'm sure the emperor has heard about the secret substitution at the Jingbei Palace. At the time, I kept it a secret because my wife was still in confinement and worried she might be worried. I only sent the child back. I didn't expect this would indirectly lead to the disappearance of two children, and the early death of one."
"I have done this myself, so after the incident was exposed, I did not pursue their treacherous substitution. However, we can no longer maintain the brotherly affection we once had. The old lady may be afraid that I will retaliate against my second brother and wants to divide the family property. However, due to the saying 'one should not divide the family property while the parents are still alive', she dared not speak to me, fearing that I would not allow her to move out of the Jingbei Palace with her own children. This has caused her to become depressed and she has fallen ill."
"After much thought, I believe that only if the Emperor gives her a reassurance can her heart disease be cured."
The prince doesn't like to drag things out when doing things. If he does something, he either doesn't care at all or does it directly.
Although the old lady had been stripped of her imperial title, she was the old prince's second wife after all. If the old lady was unwilling to move out of the mansion with the second and third wives, the prince could not drive her away.
As long as the old lady stays in the mansion, the second and third wives will definitely come to pay their respects every few days, so there is no difference between dividing the family and not dividing it at all.
With people like Duke Song and the Left Prime Minister who cannot bear to see the Jingbei Palace in peace, once the division of the family is proposed, there must be no loopholes, otherwise it will drag on for who knows how many days.
The prince directly asked the emperor for permission on the grounds that the old lady wanted to divide the family property, and no one could say anything.
But even so, Duke Song still found fault, "Such a small matter as the division of the Jingbei Palace is enough to alarm the emperor?"
The prince said, "I only delayed the emperor for a moment. If Duke Song says a few more words, it will delay the emperor's time even more."
Duke Song suspected that he was in conflict with the Jingbei Palace.
After being angered by the Prince of Jingbei, he was angered by the King of Jingbei again.
The emperor would not care if other people wanted to split up their families. Of course, no one dared to bring this to the emperor's attention. But the emperor was happy to take care of the division of Prince Jingbei's family.
The Jingbei Palace replaced his son-in-law with someone else. Those people also found fault with Shen Wan. Being able to separate them out was a blessing for Shen Wan.
Originally, the princess should have her own palace, where one person has the final say. As her father, he cannot give her one at the moment. How can he not agree so that his daughter can live a more peaceful life?
"I have given Madam Xie permission to move out of the Jingbei Palace with her son."
The entire court knew that Prince Jingbei's palace was going to split up, and the emperor had approved it.
In this family, the old lady gets a share whether she wants to divide it or not.
Shen Wan was in an extremely happy mood.
Wing Chun Temple.
The old lady leaned on the big pillow, feeling weak and unable to eat a single bite of food in the morning. There was always a feeling of uneasiness lingering in her heart.
The prince deliberately exposed Xie Jingxi's life experience. The prince did not punish the second wife, and the old lady had a bad feeling in her heart.
When the prince was three years old, the old lady married him as his second wife. She had watched the prince grow up and had some understanding of his temperament.
The prince's words are his. Not punishing does not mean that the matter is over. On the contrary, if he punishes, he will not bring up the past again.
Yesterday, the Second Lady asked the Crown Prince's wife to accompany her for three meals a day through the mouth of a Taoist priest, and even copied Buddhist scriptures to pray for her. Although she did not harm anyone, she definitely caused trouble. However, the prince did not punish her at all. This is too abnormal.
When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong.
The old lady had never figured out the prince's thoughts, and she tossed and turned restlessly all night without being able to sleep well.
Madam Wu brought the lotus seed soup and persuaded the old lady to eat some. After much persuasion, the old lady finally agreed to eat it. However, just as she took a breath, the inconsiderate maid ran in, smiling and saying, "Old lady, great news! The emperor has allowed you to move out of the Jingbei Palace with the second and third wives..."
Old lady, “……!!!”
Mother Wu, “……!!!”
real.
The old lady almost couldn't breathe.
The maid ran in with a smile on her face and started to announce the good news. I thought it was some good news, but it turned out to be a division of the family.
The old lady almost tore the maid's smiling face apart.
Mother Wu was also terrified. "What's going on? What does it mean that the Emperor has allowed the old lady to move out of the Jingbei Palace with the second and third wives?"
The maid was a little confused.
She reported it clearly, and Mother Wu heard it clearly, it was exactly what she meant.
The old lady was looking forward to dividing the family property, and the emperor agreed. Isn’t the old lady happy?
It doesn't look like it.
It was Manager Zhou who asked her to come and tell the old lady the good news...
Well, the maid was fooled.
If it weren't for the maid from the outer courtyard who delivered the message, the old lady would have beaten her to death.
The old lady suppressed her anger, asked about the matter clearly, and then -
I fainted from anger.
Maid, “……???”
This must be due to fainting from joy, right?
Never mind.
Just spread it like this.
The prince asked for permission, and the emperor granted it, so it can only be a happy event.
Funerals should also be celebrated with joy.
She has no cleverness at all, so she can't be assigned to do things like delivering messages.
Then what reached Shen Wan and the princess' ears was, "The emperor allowed the old lady to separate the family property, and the old lady fainted with joy."
Shen Wan, “…”
princess,"……"
Are you so happy?
Just believe whatever the maid tells you.
Regardless of whether the old lady fainted from anger or joy, she fainted and the Wing Chun Temple became flustered.
The doctor was invited into the house, and after much difficulty, acupuncture was used to wake the old lady. As a result, when she woke up, Shen Wan and the princess were standing by the bed. The princess said, "The old lady wants to divide the family property. Just say it directly. The prince will not disagree. Why bother to make yourself sick?"
"I've asked Steward Zhou to take people to check the public residence and try to get the old lady to move out with the second and third wives as soon as possible."
"Fortunately, my father understands the old lady well and guessed it right. We should listen to Second Aunt. I'm afraid the old lady's illness will never be cured."
The poor old lady had just woken up, but she fainted again out of "joy" under the concern of the princess and Shen Wan.
