Chapter 281 If you can't make it through, then divorce

Old Madam Du knocked her cane, and the ground made a clattering sound: "Marquis, Liu is her aunt. If you don't give her face, then you won't give you face. Even if An Yunxi becomes the princess, you are still her uncle. How can she slap you in the face like this! If this matter gets out, how will your colleagues in the court look at you?"

Knowing the cause and effect, Marquis Anguo restrained his expression and couldn't help but sigh.

"Mother, Madam, you two don't need to say those words to sow discord in front of me. I don't believe that you went to the palace just to visit Xi'er. Tell the truth."

Liu was stunned. She never thought that she had suffered such injustice, but Marquis Anguo was still on the side of outsiders!

"My Lord, you and I are family. I begged you to intercede for the Third Prince and Concubine Hui but you refused. I have been bullied by your niece, and you don't care about it?"

Marquis Anguo pulled a chair over and sat down. He

rubbed his brows with a headache.

He also knew that the two women in his family, one old and one young, were not easy to deal with, but after so long, he felt that he could suppress them, so he didn't let them make too many troubles.

The last time they wanted to drive his sister out, it was okay after so long, but now, even the important affairs of the court, the two of them dared to interfere.

Marquis Anguo's face suddenly sank.

"Is it because life has become easier that you can no longer recognize yourselves?"

Liu was stunned by the reprimand. She asked in surprise: "Master, am I wrong? After all, I am her elder. Shouldn't she respect me?"

"This is not what I am talking about."

Liu was puzzled: "What is it?"

The face of the Marquis of Anguo was as gloomy as water, and there was no smile at this moment.

Although Liu had some problems with her character, she was still the distant niece of Mrs. Du. The two of them were of the same blood in the family and often messed up the backyard.

But Du Pingjiang had no idea of ​​taking a concubine. Liu also gave him two sons. He only hoped that the backyard would be peaceful and he didn't ask for much.

However, since no one in the backyard followed Liu to fight, Liu tried every means to make trouble and provoke the relationship between him and his sister.

Besides, she relied on her status as the aunt of Prince Xian to bully others in the capital.

At many banquets hosted by wives of officials, Liu was treated like a star, and she enjoyed all the benefits.

The longer she was treated like a star, the more she became arrogant, and she thought she was great. She

even ignored the person who made her have everything now. She

was so stupid!

"The third prince personally admitted to the assassination of the princess, and he pleaded guilty. What did you two women get involved in?"

Upon hearing this, Liu obviously disagreed with Marquis Anguo's words.

"The Third Prince grew up with An Yunxi since childhood, and he is also her cousin. How can she ignore their old relationship and kill the prince?"

An Guohou stared at Liu deeply, with a little anger in his tone.

"Then have you forgotten that he ordered the assassination of Yunxi?"

Liu was speechless at this sentence: "I"

She hesitated, not knowing how to explain, but she argued: "She is not innocent at all?"

An Guohou was so angry that he laughed at this foolish woman in his family.

"The third prince's assassination attempt failed, does that mean he is innocent? Even though I was not present on that day, I heard from others that the assassin was carrying a kind of gunpowder. Although it was not very powerful, it was able to blow two or three people who were close to him into pulp. The guards who went to check the scene vomited, saying that the assassin was blown to pieces by the gunpowder he brought with him!"

An Guohou didn't even dare to think about it.

If the assassin had succeeded that day, what would his Xier look like?

And if you calculate the time, An Yunxi was still pregnant at that time!

Liu didn't know the details of the assassination, she only knew that the result was that An Yunxi was unharmed.

Now, after listening to An Guohou's account of the situation on that day, she couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

But feeling guilty doesn't mean she thinks she is wrong.

"Marquis, it is better to resolve a feud than to create one. The Li family and our Du family are relatives, and Concubine Hui is our mother's niece. Can't Yun Xi be more generous and forgive the Third Prince this time? I believe that he will never dare to do this again in the future!"

Marquis Anguo looked at Liu as if she were a fool.

"What you mean by this is that someone wants to torture and kill you, but you were rescued halfway. Do you still want to let the person who wants to kill you go?"

Liu's face turned pale, but she shook her head quickly: "Marquis, this is different"

"What's different?"

Marquis Anguo's heart suddenly became very cold.

He has been an official for many years, and he is considered to be upright and kind-hearted. The only thing he pursues is peace and prosperity in the country and harmony in the family.

Why would he marry such a woman home?

His sense of responsibility prevented him from doing anything to hurt the woman who carried on his family line.

However, for so many years, he had no one to vent his bitterness to, and no one cared about his physical fatigue, and he really couldn't bear it anymore.

Liu didn't know how Anguo Hou felt at this moment.

She relied on the fact that she had been married to the marquis's mansion for so many years and had given birth to two sons. She knew that with Anguo Hou's character, no matter what she did, he would not do anything to her.

In these years, Liu enjoyed the glory of being the mistress of the mansion, and her mother-in-law would not rub her, which made countless people envy her for marrying well.

She also thought that she married well.

Anguo Hou had a kind and easy-going personality. He rarely lost his temper with her, and was reluctant to touch her. She lived an extremely comfortable and happy life.

"No matter what, His Royal Highness Prince Yu is a prince! Even if he is the regent, how can he kill a prince? Concubine Hui is still his sister-in-law. Such cold-bloodedness will surely be condemned by the people of the world!"

Marquis Anguo suddenly raised his hand and slapped Liu in the face.

This slap was without mercy.

Liu was stunned.

She raised her hands to cover her face in a daze, and there was a buzzing sound in her ears.

Marquis Anguo actually hit her!

After being married for so many years, this was the first time that Marquis Anguo hit her like this!

This realization was a little hard for her to accept.

Old Madam Du was also shocked by this scene, and she immediately walked over with her crutches and stood in front of Liu.

"Marquis, how could you hit your wife?"

Marquis Anguo's eyes were bloodshot, and he was obviously angry at Liu's nonsense.

His chest rose and fell violently several times, and Marquis Anguo suppressed his anger and said: "Mother, can you hear what nonsense she is talking about? The Regent Prince has just saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in Beifeng City, and she dares to scold the Prince for being cold-blooded and ruthless?"

Old Madam Du didn't care about reason or not.

"There are no outsiders here. Your wife just quarreled with you, but you can't hit her, right? What's the harm of saying a few words to King Xie? She is just discussing the matter."

An Guohou suddenly realized that

he couldn't make sense with these two women who had long had evil intentions.

He suddenly looked gloomy and said to Liu coldly: "Since you can't make sense, then let's get a divorce."
