Chapter 251 Is Prince Enguo blind?
"I advise you to return your dowry as soon as possible if you know what's good for you. Otherwise, we will not let you live well. We will go to your parents' house every day to make trouble. Your parents' family will be in turmoil and no one will have a good life!"
Finally, a straightforward lady couldn't stand it anymore: "This is the wife of Duke Enguo, how can you be so shameless? She married into your family, not sold into your family. Her things are all yours. Why don't you go and rob her?"
"I'm now a county princess, a woman with more money than she can spend. Why do I have to return to your Duke of En's mansion to survive? Moreover, the laws of our Great Zhou stipulate that divorced women can take away all their dowries. Why do you have to take it away and ask them to return it?"
"What does the county lady's dowry have to do with your Duke En's Mansion? Not only did you bring your mistress into the palace to attend the banquet, but you even asked your ex-wife, who you divorced, to return the dowry. You are such a disgusting and shameless family."
"Don't be afraid, County Lady. Our Marquis' Mansion is right next to the Xiang Family's on the street. If this group of shameless people come to cause trouble, just send someone to the Marquis' Mansion to find me. I'll help you beat them all to death one by one."
The Duke of Enguo's wife got anxious and pointed at the Marquis's wife's nose and started to curse: "This is our family affair, what does it have to do with you? You want to kill us? Don't forget that we are the Duke of Enguo's family. How can you be so bold as to kill us? Aren't you afraid that the Emperor will punish you?"
The Marquis's face turned cold. "Family affairs, this isn't really a family matter anymore. Divorcing a woman is already difficult, not to mention the county lady has a child with her."
"A woman's marriage is like a second life. If she can be like the Prince Regent and the Princess, who are in perfect harmony and love, then that's all that matters. But if she meets someone like your prince, who schemes to steal her dowry and even wants to take her life, then she's truly doomed."
"If the Great Zhou sets a precedent for deducting dowries from divorced women like you, how will divorced women survive in the future? Who will dare to marry and have children in the future?!"
"Well said!"
Bu Ruo's voice came from the back of the crowd, and all the onlookers who heard the voice made way for him.
The lady who was defending Xiang Yuan saw Bu Ruo take the lead in greeting and said, "Madam Ruan of the Marquis of Chang'an greets the Regent Princess, the young princess, and the young prince."
Bu Ruo reached out and helped the man up: "Madam, please don't be polite. Your youngest son has performed very well in my eldest brother's army. He has made many military achievements and has a promising future. This is all thanks to your good teaching."
"Unlike some families who raise their sons and daughters in a way that is not right. The son has a mistress outside and is even thinking about money and murder, while the daughter is ignorant and always thinking about someone else's husband."
The ladies present knew who Bu Ruo was talking about as soon as they heard it. They had already disdained the behavior of Duke En's family, and now when they heard someone say it directly, their faces showed even more disgust.
"What the princess said is true. The Duke of En's family is truly bizarre in our Great Zhou. Almost all of those present are from aristocratic families. They have been taught the rules by their families since childhood. I have never heard of anyone saying that a dowry should be left behind after a divorce. What's even more outrageous is that they even went to the woman's parents' home to cause trouble and rob her. These people are simply scum."
"That's right. People like us from respectable families have been taught since childhood, and when we grow up, we will also teach our daughters to keep their place in the right place and not to covet things or people that don't belong to them. If they want to be married, they should be the wife of the main wife. Even if they marry someone with a lower official rank, they should not be concubines. And they must not use those dirty tricks to harm other couples. There will be retribution for that."
Those who can attend the palace banquet are all the wives of officials. The wives look down on those who come in as concubines, let alone the mistresses they hate the most.
At this time, the prime minister's wife, who was born as a concubine and came to power by killing her elder sister and wanted to take her daughter as a concubine, felt as if she was slapped in the face by someone when she heard what others said, and her face turned blue and purple.
Then she pulled her daughter to stand away guiltily. After all, many people knew that her daughter liked the Regent and met him at the palace gate every day. She was afraid that this would bring trouble to herself. The deep jealousy in Xu Xiangdie's eyes was impossible to ignore.
Bu Ruo glanced at her and then looked away, but with just that one glance, Xu Xiangdie unexpectedly understood what he meant.
Bu Ruo: You are nothing!
"What you ladies are saying is, if a girl is ill-educated and brings disaster to her own family, it's fine, but if she gets married in the future, she'll bring disaster to other families. If a man commits treason, that's a terrible thing. When the whole family is exterminated, even the ant holes in the mansion will have to be poured with boiling water."
"So, ladies and gentlemen, this advice from the princess may be unpleasant to the ears. Please take good care of your children. Do not let them do anything that would bring disgrace upon the family or lead to the extermination of the family. Otherwise, it will be too late to regret it."
The wives of officials all bowed and said, "Your Highness will remember the Regent Princess's instructions."
Bu Ruo walked over to Xiang Yuan and turned her attention back to the Duke of Enguo's family: "Tsk tsk, is this the concubine that your ex-husband, the Duke of Enguo's son, had found?"
"Is the Prince of Enguo blind? If it weren't for the fact that the Enguo Mansion is about to end, this princess would really like to find an imperial physician to check his eyes. How blind must he be to want to murder you for her?"
"Oh, how pitiful! The daughter he wanted to kill is his biological daughter, yet he dotes on a bastard son and wants to let him inherit the Duke of Enguo Mansion. This princess doesn't know what to say about their family. This really opens my eyes."
"County Lady, it's a good idea for you to divorce that prince. It's disgusting to keep such a blind man like that. It's better for you to leave early."
"After the palace banquet today, I will assign a few guards to stand at the gate of your Xiang family. If anyone from the Duke of En's Mansion disturbs your life again, I will have the guards beat them to death. The Marquis' wife wouldn't dare, but I would."
The ladies present all cheered silently in their hearts and no one doubted Bu Ruo's words. They all knew that if the couple had no interest in the throne, the person in front of them would be the current queen.
But what did the princess mean by "bastard" just now? Is it what they think? This melon... seems a little too big.
When Lady Enguo heard Bu Ruo's words, she looked at her concubine, but she still couldn't believe that the grandson she had loved for several years was not her biological son.
"Princess, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. Even if you are the regent princess, you can't insult someone's innocence. Although my distant niece is a concubine, she gave her body to my son innocently. How can it be possible that my grandson is not my biological son as you said?"
