Chapter 275 My old wife is so eager to divorce me and go find her
"Your Majesty, please help me."
A mournful voice sounded, and everyone looked towards the speaker.
The emperor sitting on the dragon throne pulled at the tassels that blocked his view. He seemed to have heard the voice of that old man Chang Wei just now.
And let him make the decision for him.
You must have heard it wrong. This old guy is best at making others mad. If anything happens, he will take revenge himself. Why does he need others to make decisions for him?
If there is someone who can really make him angry to death, that would be a great skill, and someone would have to secretly send him some reward.
The emperor opened his eyes wide and looked at the old man with white beard who came out of the line, a little bit unable to believe it.
It really is him...
Then, out of curiosity, he asked, "What grievances have you suffered, my dear? Tell me about it."
As soon as the words fell, several people stood up at the same time and shouted together.
"Your Majesty, please make the decision for us."
Everyone looked sad and their faces changed.
The emperor looked at this and then that, confused.
Chang Wei, who was the first to step out, bowed again, his tone filled with grief and indignation: "Your Majesty, please help me. I don't know what Chu Yi'an, the third young master's wife of Duke Qin, said to the young lady of the Su family. We had already agreed on a marriage and were about to be engaged, but Miss Su sent a letter to me overnight, scolding my grandson."
"The words used are so vile, it's clear they want to make enemies."
Naturally, the marriage fell through, and Chang Wei sounded sad, as if he had suffered a great injustice.
Important officials of the two dynasties almost shed tears in front of the palace.
Qin Huaishu: ...
Qi Ze: ...
Others: ...
emperor:……
The emperor's mouth twitched. He thought it was something big.
How could this old man have the nerve to bring up such a small matter?
Is this appropriate?
You are becoming more and more inappropriate in doing things.
The emperor's face turned cold, and before he could get angry, Chang Wei started crying again: "Your Majesty, please take care of it. If it was just my family, I wouldn't dare to bring it to you at this time even if I had the courage of heaven."
He pointed at the other people who stood up with a shaking finger: "Their children's marriages have also been disrupted."
"And as far as I know, not only these adults, but also the children of several other adults will have their marriages canceled."
"I was already optimistic about this family, but it just went bankrupt."
"They say it's better to demolish ten temples than to ruin a marriage."
"I wonder if the Third Young Master's wife truly thinks those men are unsuitable matches, or if she's being instigated to ruin their marriages."
After saying this, he looked at Qin Huaishu meaningfully.
Qin Huaishu stood straight and didn't even look at him when he heard that.
He had nothing better to do than to mess up other people's marriages and instruct Chu Yian to do this immoral thing.
The other court officials all had strange expressions on their faces, not even knowing what expression to show at this moment.
It's against the will of heaven. This kind of reason is the first time I've seen it in my entire life.
Not only was it their first time seeing him, it was also the first time for the Emperor.
Looking at this, then looking at that, he subconsciously excused Chu Yian: "My dear ministers, is there any hidden story here?"
"I have also met General Dingyuan's wife. She is very well-behaved and doesn't seem like someone who would do such a thing."
Qi Ze: ...
Qi Ze's expression almost broke. It's only because she didn't scold you that you think she's well-behaved.
And you saw her kicking your son, so how could you say she was well-behaved?
Qi Ze was dissatisfied, but chose to remain silent.
Qin Huaishu lowered his head, with a barely perceptible smile on the corner of his lips.
Sure enough, my feeling was right. The emperor... really likes Chu Yian.
Even though so many people criticized her, he still thought she was well-behaved and cute.
Chang Wei shook his head, his tone very firm: "No, there is no misunderstanding. Your Majesty, you don't know that yesterday when they went out for a boat trip, she scolded all the young masters on the boat alone."
"How can this be considered as being well-behaved? It's obvious that I'm just pretending in front of you."
The emperor automatically ignored the latter part of his sentence and leaned forward, very curious: "How did you curse?"
Chang Wei: ...
Everyone: ...
Chang Wei looked at the emperor in disbelief, his pupils trembling.
As the emperor, is it appropriate to ask this question in this tone?
Perhaps feeling that he had spoken out of turn, the emperor coughed and put on a serious expression.
"Everyone on this boat can't scold a little girl who lives deep in the backyard... Well, I'll send someone to investigate this matter..."
Before the emperor could finish his words, Sheng Hongyu, who was standing in the crowd, also stood up.
His expression was sadder than anyone else present.
He knelt down with a thud, his voice choked with sobs: "Your Majesty, please make a decision for this old minister as well."
emperor:……
The emperor's eyelids twitched: "You also want to impeach Chu Yian?"
This girl is really good at causing trouble. Why didn’t I see it before?
Sheng Hongyu knelt on the ground and said, "To be honest with you, Your Majesty, I have been married to my wife for more than 20 years and have three children."
"My eldest son is twenty-three this year, and my youngest daughter has already reached marriage age."
"For so many years, the relationship between husband and wife has been harmonious, but because of my niece, I met the wife of the Third Young Master Qin."
"From then on, he became a different person. He would hang out outside Duke Qin's mansion whenever he had nothing to do."
"When I see the Chu girl, I'm overjoyed. When I don't see her, I come back dejected and distraught."
"As a result, he became increasingly impatient with me, arguing with me and getting angry at me at every turn."
"I often stare at Chu's portrait in a daze."
"A few days ago, I received an invitation from Duke Qin's Mansion. I was so happy that I couldn't sleep all night. Even at my age, I was just spinning around with the invitation like a little girl."
"On the day of the banquet, I didn't sleep the entire night, just getting ready and dressing myself."
Sheng Hongyu looked older and his face looked more miserable. Such a grown man almost shed tears in front of so many people.
Countless people looked at each other in confusion. Even Chang Wei opened his eyes wide and no longer cared about suing Chu Yian.
What a big melon.
This person is really bold. He doesn't care about his face at all and says it in front of so many people.
Qi Ze's eyes were full of shock. He looked at Qin Huaishu, but saw that Qin Huaishu looked normal.
That’s right, Madam Sheng was wandering around outside the Duke of Qin’s Mansion. As the eldest son of the Duke of Qin’s Mansion, how could he not know?
But what on earth did Chu Yian do? He seduced the man's wife and almost divorced her.
This is a question not only Qi Ze wants to ask, but the emperor also wants to ask.
It was the first time he heard such news: a woman seduced another woman who had been married for more than 20 years and had children, and now she was mentally disturbed and wanted to divorce. Is this normal?
The emperor took a long time to digest it.
But he sighed silently in his heart: His lovely and well-behaved wife... is as lovable as ever.
Sheng Hongyu's voice choked even more: "I don't know what kind of magic potion that Chu gave to my old wife. When I see her, I wish I could divorce her and live with her."
"Your Majesty, it's not that I'm shameless to say such words in such a serious place. My old wife is just the beginning."
"If this continues, I have to worry about whether other girls will be seduced by her. Will the young men in the city still be able to marry girls?"
"I've already sent people to investigate. Every girl that came into contact with Chu was extremely fond of her. Both the old and the young were completely controlled by her."
"It's okay for me to suffer from her pain alone, but I can't let her bring disaster to all the young ladies and gentlemen in the city."
After saying this, he bowed down.
The entire court was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. No one spoke among so many people. They were all shocked by Sheng Hongyu's words.
What did he just say?
His old wife wanted to divorce him and live with Chu Yian?
Is this true or false?
That's an exaggeration.
All the girls in the city like her, and those young men can't find wives. It's exaggerated, really.
For a moment, everyone didn't know whether to sympathize with Sheng Hongyu or sigh that this story sounded like it was taken from some unofficial history book.
It's outrageous that his father opened the door for something outrageous. It's outrageous to the extreme.
Besides, they have all seen Sheng Hongyu’s first wife. She is gentle and dignified. How could she do such a thing?
Still like women?!
She's a woman about the same age as my daughter...
But looking at Sheng Hongyu, he couldn't hide his sadness at all and had to express it in front of the emperor.
It can't be a lie.
For a moment, everyone was silent, almost choked to death by the big melon.
Chang Wei reacted quickly and seized the opportunity: "Your Majesty, you have also seen that Master Sheng's wife has been seduced by her."
"If she continues like this, what will happen to the other girls?"
"My grandson told me that she wrote poems to those young ladies and bewitched them all."
"I originally wanted to turn my heart to the bright moon, but it only shines on the ditch. There is a beautiful woman whom I never forget after seeing her. If I don't see her for a day, I miss her like crazy."
"And what else? The clouds resemble clothes, the flowers resemble beauty, the spring breeze blows across the threshold, and the dew is gorgeous..."
"Look, is this something a girl like her should say to other girls?"
"That day, she hugged and kissed those girls in front of everyone. How shameless! How shameless!!"
The scene was as quiet as a chicken, and everyone's mouths were open wide enough to fit an egg.
Qin Huaishu also fell silent, his eyelashes trembling.
Chu Yian only exaggerated the details of her quarrel with the group of young men, but did not tell him that she also recited poems to the group of young ladies, and kissed and hugged them.
This guy is too dishonest. I have to check it myself when I get back.
I really can't listen to her.
The emperor's mouth twitched. He had lived for most of his life and never expected to encounter such a thing.
Qin Sheng seduced his son, but Chu Yian was even more powerful than him, having seduced so many girls.
What do the couple want to do?
The emperor stammered, and after a long pause he uttered something unbelievable: "Very, quite literary."
Everyone: ...
The emperor coughed, straightened his expression, and looked at Qin Huaishu: "Qin Huaishu."
Qin Huaishu stood up.
"What's going on?"
Qin Huaishu was also confused: "Your Majesty, although Yi An is a member of the Qin family, she is my brother's wife. I can't interfere in many matters."
"It's even harder to ask her about the details of her trip to the lake with the ladies."
To put it simply, I don’t know, I’m not sure, so don’t ask me.
But Qin Huaishu still tried to excuse her: "But my sister-in-law has been very well behaved since she came into the mansion. She is very well behaved and rarely goes out to play with other young ladies."
"I don't think she can say anything, nor do I think she can do anything."
"Marriage is a major event in life. Even if my sister-in-law is close to the young ladies and gets along well with them, it won't affect them to the point of not wanting to marry them to their chosen families."
"If that is the case, I suggest that Lord Chang investigate whether Young Master Chang has done anything inappropriate that has angered Miss Su."
Qi Ze looked at Qin Huaishu with a speechless look. Others didn't understand Chu Yian, so how could this dead fox not understand him?
I don't know how he could say to Chu Yian that he should be law-abiding with his conscience.
Qin Huaishu's words made Chang Wei and other ministers very dissatisfied.
They started quarreling again, but the emperor had almost finished eating the melon and had had enough of the fun, so he didn't want to listen to them quarreling anymore.
Rather than listening to them quarreling, he was more curious about what was going on with Chu Yian.
He waved his hand and forcibly muted the market-like hall. "I understand this matter. Lai Fu, summon the Third Young Master Qin's wife to the palace. I dismiss the court."
After saying that, he didn't give anyone else a chance to speak and just left.
As soon as the emperor left, the ministers looked at Qin Huaishu angrily.
Qin Huaishu smiled at them politely and walked away.
As soon as he left the hall, someone stopped him and said, "The Emperor invites you."
Qin Huaishu: ...
When Qin Huaishu passed away, Qi Ze had also passed away.
He looked at Qi Ze with a frown, not knowing why this man was here.
The emperor snorted coldly: "Don't look at him, I called him here. Qin Huaishu, what's going on?"
Qin Huaishu bowed and said, "Your Majesty, my sister-in-law is indeed well-behaved and obedient."
emperor:……
The emperor glared at him and said, "Stand aside. We'll talk when the person arrives."
…
Chu Yian's eyelids have been twitching since he got up today.
She had a hunch that something bad was going to happen.
So as soon as Qin Huaishu left, she immediately took Xiaofu out of the house to find Sheng Nianyao and Liu.
They were both very happy to see her. Chu Yian took the opportunity to complain that Sheng Lingchuan was such a rebellious boy that he actually went against her. Was this right?
He even scolded her in front of so many people.
As his elder, she didn't argue with him and just gave him a few verbal lectures, but as his mother, his aunt had to discipline him strictly.
Chu Yian hugged Liu and asked for comfort, tears in his eyes: "Aunt, you don't know, he scolded me in front of so many people, completely disregarding my face."
"I can't live anymore, is he going to force me to death?"
Liu hugged her distressedly, her face livid: "Be good, Yi An, don't cry. Auntie will take care of it for you."
After saying that, he looked at the servants and said, "Go, call Sheng Lingchuan to me."
As soon as the servant left, she touched Chu Yian's head and said, "People will be here soon. As long as you can vent your anger, you can punish me in any way you want."
Chu Yian raised her head, tears streaming down her face: "Really, Auntie? Can I really punish him?"
Sheng Nianyao's heart was broken. When had she ever seen Chu Yian so aggrieved?
I was so distressed: "Sister Chu, just punish him and let him breathe. You can punish him in any way you want."
Sheng Lingchuan, who had just walked outside: ...
His face was ashen and he was gritting his teeth.
Who are the Sheng family members?
At first glance, if you didn’t know, you would think they were a family and his own son had become an outsider.
