Chapter 395 Killing Intent
The prince didn't bother to pay attention to the third lady, and glanced directly at the third master, "Do you think so too?"
The tone was cold and indifferent, but it carried an inexplicable sense of oppression. The Third Master felt a chill running up from the soles of his feet to the tips of his hair.
The prince's tone suggested that his third master felt the same way, so he should let him experience what it felt like to be kicked out of the house.
The third master was scared.
You have to be timid.
There are few officials in the court who are truly clean.
It's good to lean on a big tree for shade. With the support of the Jingbei Palace, even the boss and the emperor will turn a blind eye to any small mistake.
But if the prince said a word, or even just criticized the second and third masters in front of outsiders, some court officials would report the mistakes of the second and third masters to the emperor in order to please the prince.
If the prince does not help to plead for mercy, they will not know whether they will be demoted or exiled.
The family rules clearly state that those who are demoted can be expelled from the family. As the prince said, he gave face to the old prince and did not want to be accused of being cold-hearted, so he turned a blind eye if possible. But when it came to being serious, they were the ones who suffered.
The prince is a man who does what he says. To confront him head-on is like hitting a rock with an egg and asking for trouble.
Under the prince's cold gaze, the third master gave in.
Even the third master who had done nothing wrong did not dare to complain, let alone the second master who had replaced the former with the latter.
The Second Master was filled with resentment, yet he was helpless. The Second Madam was furious, "Brothers, why is the Prince so cruel?!"
The prince glanced at the second master, and the second master turned around.
Pop.
A loud slap landed on the second wife's face.
The second wife's back teeth are loose.
The five finger marks on his face were so clear that they looked like they were carved.
The second wife's tears welled up in her eyes as she was beaten.
A trace of disgust flashed in the prince's eyes, "Do you still have objections to the division of the family?"
"I don't."
The fourth master quickly expressed his opinion.
The third master also shook his head.
The second master was afraid that the prince would let them see how cruel he could be, so he quickly asked people to take the real estate, shops and other things that were allocated to them and leave.
In fact, the second and third masters usually did not dare to disobey the prince, and the prince rarely argued with them. But if they really angered the prince, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Therefore, on the surface, they have always been respectful to the prince, and the old lady is the first to intervene in any matter, because the prince will not argue with a woman, especially the old lady.
The property they divided today was more than half less than they expected, and they lost their temper, but the prince suppressed their dissatisfaction with just a few words.
The second master left with the property he had received. The third master did not dare to stay any longer, and the fourth master bowed and left.
The prince said, "You stay first."
The fourth master looked at the prince.
Manager Zhou handed a small box to the prince. Inside the box was a house with four courtyards, two shops, two hundred acres of fertile land and ten thousand taels of silver.
This was the portion that the prince took out from the eldest house and gave to the fourth house.
In the family rules about dividing a family, the purpose of dividing a family is to keep the family together.
This does not apply to the second and third wives, but the prince hopes that the fourth wife can do it.
In fact, the prince never values these things. It is not easy for a general who holds military power not to be feared by the emperor. No matter how much property he has, if he is not careful, it will only fill the national treasury.
But the second and third masters were too ambitious. They didn't want to fight for others' things, but only focused on what the prince had. In the end, they got nothing.
That can't be said. In their previous life, the second and third masters did succeed, but they encountered the monster Xie Jingyu, who fought his way out of the situation and sent them to the guillotine.
The prince valued the fourth wife, and the fourth master was touched and said, "The fourth wife is a concubine's daughter, and I am very satisfied to get such a large share."
The prince patted him on the shoulder and said, "This is a gift from big brother, don't worry and accept it."
"Since the two residences are close to each other, you can ask your sister-in-law and Yao'er to come back more often to accompany the princess and the prince's wife."
The fourth master accepted it with red eyes.
He didn't know what was in the box, but he knew the prince. If he gave it to him, it would not be less.
After returning to the North Courtyard and seeing the contents of the box, the Fourth Master and the Fourth Lady were extremely glad for their original choice. The contents of the box plus the share from the public house were more than what the Second and Third Houses received.
The fourth wife was born out of wedlock, something that was unthinkable before.
The separation of the family was not only faster than Shen Wan had imagined, but also smoother, and soon another piece of good news came.
As Chen Wan returned to Zhaolanxuan, her maid Qiu'er came in and said, "Princess Consort, the Dongliang envoys will arrive in Kyoto in two days."
All good things come together.
Thinking that Princess Shouzhen would soon go to Dongliang to marry, Shen Wan was in a very happy mood.
Although Chen Wan was happy, Queen Song and Princess Shouzhen were not happy at all.
Queen Song was reluctant to let her daughter marry to a place as far away as Dongliang. Few princesses who were married off had a good ending. If Prince Cheng could sit on that throne, Princess Shouzhen's life in Dongliang might be easier. But if Prince Cheng could not sit on that throne, Princess Shouzhen would not be much different from princesses born to other concubines, or even daughters chosen from the royal family, for Dongliang.
Queen Song was even more afraid that one day her daughter would be kidnapped and used to threaten the Ning Dynasty. Not to mention the emperor, even Xiao Yun who sat on the throne would not care about Princess Shouzhen's life or death.
Queen Song felt so sorry for her daughter that she wished she could grind Chen Wan into dust and scatter her ashes.
Princess Shouzhen threw herself into Queen Song's arms and cried, "Mother, the envoys from Dongliang are coming soon. I don't want to be married off to a place as far away as Dongliang..."
Queen Song was crying like a pear blossom in the rain, her heart was broken and her heart was torn.
Even if she was using the funeral of Concubine Chen to delay the Dongliang envoys for a few days, they would eventually arrive. They could not avoid it on the fifteenth day even if they did not arrive on the first day.
She shot herself in the foot and fell into the hole she dug and couldn't climb out.
As long as the Empress Dowager is alive, the Emperor cannot adopt a daughter or make her a princess. He can't...
Murderous intent slowly emerged in Queen Song's eyes.
After a long period of comforting, Queen Song finally coaxed Princess Shouzhen to stop crying. However, not long after, Princess Shouzhen got into trouble again.
She met Princess Xuanning in the imperial garden. Princess Shouzhen was angry and started arguing with Princess Xuanning, even fighting.
The emperor heard about the fight between the two and punished them to keep vigil for Concubine Chen.
In two days, Concubine Chen would be buried in the imperial mausoleum. The ladies of the court entered the palace to keep vigil for Concubine Chen. This was a treatment only given to the empress, but since the emperor gave Concubine Chen this honor, no one dared to protest.
That evening, Chen Wan was swinging on the swing when a maid came over and said, "Crown Princess, tomorrow the princess will go to the palace to keep vigil for Concubine Chen..."
If Shen Wan hadn’t been pregnant, she would have had to accompany the princess.
However, the princess did not go. The next day, Shen Wan had just woken up, and Shanhu came in to help her get up. The maid came in and said, "Princess, Mother Zhao is here."
Why is Mother Zhao here to take care of Lanxuan instead of serving the princess at this time?
"Please invite Madam Zhao in."
The maid left, and soon, Mother Zhao came. Shen Wan asked, "Why is Mother Zhao here?"
Mother Zhao said, "I came to ask Shanhu who she bought the pills from outside the Huguo Temple. The princess woke up early this morning and her old illness recurred."
Shen Wan, “…???”
