Chapter 455
If he had known earlier, he would never have agreed to let Yunxi become his concubine in the first place!
The air in the study seemed to freeze for a moment, making it difficult to even breathe.
Soon, the quiet in the study was broken.
The imperial edict has arrived.
The content of the imperial edict was exactly the same as what Shen Jun had said earlier.
Zheng's legs went weak, and she immediately collapsed to the ground. Yun Wan quickly stepped forward to support her, saying, "Mother-in-law, don't scare me..."
Shen Jun received the imperial edict, politely saw the eunuch out, and then returned looking gloomy.
"Look at the fine son you've raised!" Shen Jun blurted out, "His future is almost ruined because of a woman!"
Zheng was in tears: "How could this be? Hasn't His Majesty always relied on Zirong the most? Since there were censors who jointly submitted a memorial, shouldn't Zirong be summoned to the palace for a face-to-face confrontation? How could an imperial edict be issued so directly!"
Hearing Zheng's words, Shen Jun's anger burned even brighter.
What else could it be!
The emperor must have believed those words and was truly enraged, which is why he ordered Shen Rang to stay home and reflect on his actions without asking any questions!
However, Shen Rang's expression remained unchanged: "How did Father know that His Majesty would issue an imperial edict?"
Shen Jun glanced at him: "When the censors jointly submitted their memorial, His Highness the Crown Prince happened to be there as well. His Highness said that he had tried his best to mediate, but still could not persuade His Majesty to change his mind."
Shen Rang fell silent.
“Now that things have come to this, that woman can’t be kept alive,” a resolute ruthlessness flashed in Shen Jun’s eyes. “She has to be sent away!”
"No!"
As soon as Shen Jun finished speaking, Shen Rang suddenly spoke up: "Xi'er is already pregnant, Father, where do you intend to send her?"
Shen Jun looked at Shen Rang and had never felt that he was so useless: "There are so many estates outside, just pick a good one and send her there! After she gives birth, let her raise the child herself to avoid separation between mother and child. After a few years, when things have calmed down, if you still have feelings for her, then we can talk about bringing her back!"
As soon as Shen Jun finished speaking, Yun Wan's eyes lit up, wishing she could nod in Shen Rang's place.
If we deal with Yunxi the way Shen Jun suggested, we can send her away and then immediately take action against that bitch!
Anyway, that bitch is pregnant and quite far along in her pregnancy, so taking her life won't be that difficult!
But Shen Rang still refused.
Yun Wan bit her lip and said, "Husband, I don't think Father-in-law's idea is entirely wrong. We can just send more people to serve the concubine. Right now, the most important thing is your career!"
Zheng nodded repeatedly.
This is the first time that Zheng Shi has felt that Yun Wan is a good girl, even though Yun Wan has been married into his family for so long.
Shen Rang's gaze swept over the three of them one by one, and he actually smiled.
“Even if you say it a thousand times, I will not agree to send Xi’er away,” Shen Rang said, his thin lips parting slightly. “As for official career, if you can leave, then leave; if you can’t leave, then don’t leave.”
"Treason!"
Enraged, Shen Jun raised his hand and slapped Shen Rang across the face.
Shen Jun used almost all his strength in that slap, causing Chen Rang to stagger two steps before he could barely stand up.
"Zirong!"
Zheng was heartbroken and cried as she grabbed Shen Rang's clothes: "Zirong, just listen to your father! It's just sending your aunt away to avoid the storm, why can't you understand?"
Shen Rang remained silent, a slight smile playing on his lips.
No matter what, he would not let Yunxi leave his side.
Because once I leave, I fear I will never see them again.
