Chapter 165 The Emperor as Witness

Chapter 165 The Emperor as Witness

Gu Changqing was scolded by his father, so he naturally didn't dare to say anything more, but he was still a little unconvinced in his heart. Looking at Prime Minister Dou Qin, he subconsciously said, "When did Lord Dou get along so well with my wife?"

Dou Qin was steady and dignified. He spoke calmly, "Master Gu, be careful with your words. At my age, I am old enough to be Madam Su's father. As for the divorce, it was Master Gu who was wrong. Instead of questioning me here, Master Gu should ask yourself what is wrong first."

Dou Qin's tone was icy, which made Gu Changqing speechless. Besides, the emperor was there, and the other party was the prime minister, with great power, so Gu Changqing could only shut his mouth.

However, the divorce was settled, and the emperor personally watched the two families write the divorce agreement. Su Jin never showed up from beginning to end. All she had to do was eat and drink at home, and pretend to be seriously injured and sick and unable to see guests.

After finishing writing the divorce letter, Gu Changqing still held the paper tightly and didn't want to let go.

When he had no feelings for Su Jin before, he wished he had never seen her again and he even didn't enter Liuting Pavilion for three years. But now, he didn't know what he was thinking. In short, he still felt a little reluctant in his heart.

Thinking about the time when Su Jin first got married, the couple were deeply in love and inseparable. Those days were so wonderful.

Now what?

When did it become necessary to divorce?

Gu Changqing carefully recalled what had happened in the past year. It seemed that after a serious illness in early spring, Su Jin seemed to have become a different person. He suddenly stopped fighting and making concessions. Perhaps he had been disappointed in him at that time?

Gu Changqing felt a little uncomfortable.

Su Xilin exchanged the divorce letters. From then on, Su Jin and Gu Changqing officially divorced and had no more ties with each other. The emperor was the witness of their divorce.

What kind of honor does it take to have the emperor as a witness?

After Su Bingzhi finished reading the divorce letter, he folded it up and put it away with satisfaction.

Zhao Jingcheng wanted to invite Su Bingzhi to a palace banquet, but Su Bingzhi refused.

"Your Majesty, I am worried about the Sixth Miss. I have not seen her since I came to the capital."

He said he was worried, but in fact he was still afraid of being bullied, because Liuting Pavilion was, after all, the courtyard of the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion.

Zhao Jingcheng agreed and personally escorted the person out the door, while Zhou Ruihai walked out himself.

Outside the door, Dou Qin and others were also waiting. When Su Bingzhi came out, Dou Qin was the first to greet him: "Sir, let me help you."

Gu Changqing & Gu Zhao:!!!

gentlemen?

Gu Zhao pulled the fifth-rank minor official who was following behind him and whispered, "Are you all students of Master Su?"

The official smiled and said, "My Lord, Prime Minister Dou is a student of Master Su. Some of us are disciples of Prime Minister Dou, and some are from Hexi and were helped by Master Su."

The Hexi Su family was a large family, and large families would run schools. People living nearby would send their children to study there. Even those from farther away would allow their children to study there if they were well-educated. If their grades were really good, their tuition and food expenses would be waived, and they could even go to Beijing to take exams, and the Su family would give them travel expenses.

These officials from Hexi had all been helped by the Su family. When Su Bingzhi came, they naturally wanted to come out and meet him.

After hearing this, Gu Zhao stopped talking completely.

There are also people from the Su family who serve as officials in the court, but they are basically sent out to other places. Even if there are some who remain in the capital, they are not high-ranking officials. However, the Su family has more connections than just themselves, but also the children who graduated from their Su family's school.

Moreover, even the emperor had to respectfully address Su Bingzhi as "Sir".

Gu Zhao suddenly felt a little regretful.

When Su Jin was around, he kept a low profile and never even visited the homes of these students, which made Gu Zhao always feel that the Hexi Su family was nothing special.

But once Su Jin encounters difficulties, these hidden relationships will emerge one by one, using the name of Hexi Su family to save people from danger.

"well!"

The old marquis sighed.

He was short-sighted. Su Jin was low-key and didn't use his connections, but that didn't mean he didn't have any connections.

The old marquis sighed quietly, and Gu Changqing's face became even stiffer.

Soon, the group returned to the Marquis' Mansion, and as soon as Su Bingzhi entered the mansion, he took Su Xilin to Liuting Pavilion.

On the way, Su Bingzhi was still educating Su Xilin: "When you see Jin'er later, don't talk about her. A good marriage ended in divorce, and she is the one who is hurt and saddest. As for Gu Changqing, humph, he just enjoyed himself from beginning to end."

"Elder, I know." Su Xilin sighed, "Mother Su also said in the letter that Jin'er fell ill due to anger in the early spring of this year, and her health has not improved. How much grievance must she have suffered to make her so angry? Elder, don't worry, when I come in later, I won't mention anything. Let her cry first and vent her grievances, and then I will take out the divorce papers..."

The two men discussed in a low voice and soon stepped into the door of Liuting Pavilion. Then, they saw the Sixth Miss leaning on the small couch, eating and drinking with Su Heng, laughing and talking happily.

Su Bingzhi: ...

Su Xilin: ...

? ?

Is it the wrong way to open it? Otherwise, exit and re-enter? ?

While Su Xilin was rubbing her eyes, Su Heng had already welcomed the two of them in with a smile. Su Jin stood up and saluted. Su Xilin looked at her carefully and saw that her daughter had a ruddy complexion and bright eyes. How could she look sick or sad at all? ?

“You are…”

"Father, these are all temporary measures, please don't blame me."

Su Xilin: ...

The father was stunned, but Su Bingzhi stroked his beard and laughed: "Not bad, you know how to use strategies."

"Father, elders, please sit down quickly. Jinchuan, bring us this year's new tea."

"well!"

Jin Chuan agreed, and the family sat together. Su Xilin took out the divorce papers and handed them to Su Jin.

"You made the divorce so grand that the emperor even witnessed it, but the elders of the clan said that this is a good thing. Then the Yong'an Marquisate will not be able to go back on its word again."

The emperor has given his testimony. Anyone who goes back on his word is deceiving the emperor.

Su Bingzhi nodded: "Sixth Miss did a great job."

As he spoke, Su Bingzhi looked at Su Jin again.

This sixth girl didn't make much progress when she was in the boudoir, but she made a lot of progress after getting married. It is true that setbacks make people progress. This sixth girl has learned to use her brain, which is very good.

Su Bingzhi asked: "What are Sixth Miss's plans after the divorce?"

Intend?

Su Jin was also waiting for this, and after thinking for a while, he said, "I want to stay in the capital, after all, the children are still here."

She would never go back to the Hexi Su Clan. She finally had some peace and quiet to herself, so how could she possibly go home and be controlled by the entire clan? ?

If you fail to find another job, it will be the end of you and you won’t be able to rest in peace for the rest of your life.

So, let’s find a plausible reason.

Yes, Su Jin decided to stay for the sake of the child, definitely not for herself, really!!
