Chapter 76: Self-recommendation
Feng Shenyu's deep laughter sounded in Li Yueyao's ears:
"Only on the terrace did I smell your natural fragrance, not the scent of gardenia."
After hearing this, Li Yueyao reached out and hit him awkwardly.
"You're being naughty again."
"Your Highness, I am a normal man, not Liu Xiahui. Isn't it normal to be indecent in front of the one I love?"
Li Yueyao curled her lips and said, "You are the only one who has too many crooked ideas."
Then he pushed Feng Shenyu and pushed the person away a little.
"That's all, let's go now. I'm going to sleep."
Feng Shenyu heard this and tugged at Li Yueyao's sleeve, saying aggrievedly, "Your Highness...I want to stay."
"Dream on. This is your punishment today. Go away."
"Your Highness, the night is long and it's hard to sleep alone. You'll be cold. I'll warm your bed for you."
"I have a hot water bottle, no need." Li Yueyao refused decisively.
Feng Shenyu saw that Li Yueyao was so decisive and continued to pester her:
"Your Highness, I finally made it here..."
“The two prefectures are not far apart, it’s not easy for you to get here.”
Feng Shenyu curled his lips and said, "Your Highness forgot that I was ordered by His Majesty to stay at home..."
"That doesn't affect your presence here."
Feng Shenyu pleaded persistently, "Your Highness, good Your Highness, I will stay with you for an hour and wait until you fall asleep before leaving."
Li Yueyao watched Feng Shenyu come closer while begging, his handsome face gradually approaching, and a warm breath came over.
I was afraid that if I didn't let him go, I would really soften my heart and let him stay.
"No, go back quickly. If you don't leave, I'll ask Chen Yue not to let you in next time."
Feng Shenyu feigned anger upon hearing this and said, "Your Highness is truly a cruel person. Humph!"
While being angry, he pulled Li Yueyao's hand and kissed it again and again on the lips, then stood up reluctantly and said:
"Then I'm leaving."
Li Yueyao waved her hand impatiently at him: "Let's go."
Feng Shenyu felt resentful when he saw Li Yueyao was so disgusted.
"Your Highness, it's fine if you don't want to see me off, but why are you so impatient?"
Li Yueyao turned her head and looked at him and said, "This is a punishment. Go away."
"oh."
Feng Shenyu looked reluctant and looked back every few steps as he walked out the door.
Li Yueyao breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Feng Shenyu leave.
She's like a little goblin, quite annoying.
Then he said to himself, since he saw me taking a bath today, he must watch me back tomorrow.
We can't afford this kind of loss!
Feng Shenyu returned home and went to the study, where he painted a picture of a beautiful woman emerging from her bath.
This time he was more careful and didn't paint his face.
After finishing the painting, he found all the previous portraits and put them in a secret compartment in the study.
…
The Left Prime Minister Gao Hongchen first lost the treasury, then the entire Ministry of Revenue, and then the Chief Censor Lu Xian.
I have been so angry these days that I can't eat or sleep well.
His wife, Zhuang, saw that the light in her husband's study was still on, and remembered the quarrel between them during the day, so she came to visit him with some midnight snacks.
Hopefully, things can get smoothed over.
When Zhuang pushed the door open, she saw Gao Hongchen reading files at the desk.
"My dear, it's late, go to bed early. Staying up like this is not a good idea."
Gao Hongchen didn't even raise his head after hearing this.
Seeing this, Zhuang put the things in her hand on the table and prepared to leave.
Who knew Gao Hongchen would suddenly shout angrily when he saw this: "Take your things and get out."
After hearing this, Zhuang suddenly turned around and stared at Gao Hongchen.
"Why don't you even want to pretend now?"
Gao Hongchen snorted coldly, "Foolish and ignorant. Even though the building is about to collapse, you only care about yourself."
"Humph, all these years you've been so absorbed in Rongpin and her son that this mansion is like a roadside inn to you.
If I want to come back, I can come for two days. If I don’t want to come back, I won’t see him for a long time.
Now that we think about the collapse of the building, should we unite against the outside world?"
"Zhuang Yunlu, if the Gao family falls, it won't do you any good, so don't push your luck."
When Zhuang heard this, she was so angry that she laughed.
"I'm pushing my luck? Aren't you, Gao Hongchen, the one pushing your luck?
Let’s not talk about the mother and son in the palace, let’s just talk about the Gao Mansion. Don’t think I don’t know what you do in the ancestral hall?
When the Gao Mansion was flourishing, you never took me seriously, but now you want to use my family's property to fill your holes.
Gao Hongchen, you are dreaming! "
Gao Hongchen was furious after hearing this. He stood up, picked up the teacup at hand and threw it at Zhuang Yunlu.
Zhuang Yunlu was unable to dodge and was hit on the forehead, with blood flowing out.
When Gao Hongchen saw Zhuang Yunlu like this, there was no warmth in his eyes, as if he was looking at a dead person.
Zhuang Yunlu covered her forehead with her hands, feeling dizzy. She held onto the door beside her and slowly sat down on the ground.
Gao Hongchen's cold voice came: "Come, take the lady away."
The door creaked open, and two maids came in and said to Zhuang Yunlu:
"Ma'am, please."
As he said this, he was about to go forward and help Zhuang up.
At this moment, a man came in from outside and said, "I want to see who dares to touch my mother."
The man who came was tall and dignified, and looked seven points like Zhuang Yunlu. He had a gloomy face and spoke to the servants.
It was Gao Hongchen’s eldest son Gao Tongrui.
Gao Hongchen married Zhuang Yunlu when he was twenty years old. They had a son and a daughter after marriage. Their daughter Gao Tonghuan was fifteen years old and Gao Tongrui was seventeen years old.
After Gao Tongrui came in, he helped Zhuang up first.
"Mom, are you okay?"
"It's okay." Zhuang said, holding her forehead.
Gao Tongrui helped Zhuang up, looked at Gao Hongchen coldly and said:
"Prime Minister Gao, if you don't want to see an impeachment against you in the court tomorrow morning, be nice to my mother."
Gao Hongchen saw this and angrily scolded, "You rebellious son, how dare you speak to me like that?"
"What am I afraid of? You even dared to have an affair with that person and commit such a heinous crime.
I just disobeyed you as a father, it's not a big deal."
After resting for a while, Zhuang Yunlu came back to her senses and said exhaustedly:
"Gao Hongchen, let's get a divorce."
Gao Tongrui listened and said gently, "Mom, you should have thought so a long time ago.
The Gao family has long since chosen a dead end. Seeing the disaster approaching, why should we follow them to death? "
Gao Hongchen looked at Gao Tongrui with resentment and said:
"Don't forget, your surname is also Gao. Even if I divorce your mother, you are still a member of my Gao family.
You must die with me."
After hearing what Gao Hongchen said, Zhuang Yunlu looked at him angrily and said hysterically:
"Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. Gao Hongchen, are you still human?"
Gao Hongchen laughed after hearing Zhuang Yunlu's question.
"Hahahaha... Since you've boarded my Gao family, there's absolutely no reason for you to get off midway."
Then he said to the outside: "Come here, my wife has gone crazy today and is temporarily recuperating in a remote place.
The eldest son was very filial to his mother and moved to a remote place to take care of his wife.
From today on, the remote area is closed and no one is allowed to enter or leave at will."
After hearing this, Zhuang was so angry that tears streamed down her face. She pointed at Gao Hongchen with a trembling finger and said:
"Gao Hongchen, Rui'er is your legitimate son..."
"So what if he's a legitimate son? What's the point of keeping a disobedient legitimate son?"
Gao Hongchen said coldly.
A group of people came in from outside instantly, ready to capture Gao Tongrui. Gao Tongrui naturally could not surrender.
But two fists are no match for four hands, and he was quickly captured by these people and his hands were tied behind his back.
Then the two maids dragged Zhuang Yunlu up.
"Gao Hongchen, you killed your wife and harmed your child. You... you will get retribution..."
"Shut her mouth for me." Gao Hongchen said.
"Um... um..." Zhuang Yunlu's mouth was instantly blocked.
