Chapter 42 Why?

Chapter 42 Why?

The prince consort also stood in front of Lanxiang. He looked at the princess and gritted his teeth: "Lanxiang is innocent. I just kept her here. If you have any problems, come to me and let her go."

Even though the princess was extremely disappointed with her husband, even though she hated this man, she still felt heartbroken when she saw him defending another woman so much.

When the chubby little boy saw his parents being bullied, he jumped out from the side, pointed at the princess and cursed: "Bad woman, who are you? Do you know who my father is?! My father is a high-ranking official in the court. He can make your whole family get out of the capital with just a flick of his finger!"

The fat man's words reminded Wen Ling of the horse-drawn carriage that sped through the neighborhood that day.

After the carriage hit someone recklessly, the people in the carriage never got off. It was the coachman who was communicating with people in a domineering manner from below.

Later, when the government officials came, they just gave money and the matter was settled.

People in the neighborhood also said that if they dared to report to the authorities again, the whole family might not be able to survive in the capital.

Wen Ling thought about it carefully again. Wasn’t the carriage driver at that time Huang Liang?

She blurted out, "So the carriage that was driving around in the neighborhood last month and killing three children on the spot was yours!"

The little fat boy was not afraid at all. He had been spoiled to such an extent that he didn't know his place.

He raised his head high to Wen Ling: "It's our carriage that hit us, so what? Who told them to be blind and not dodge? My mother has paid them money, a bunch of low-lifes. I even said they scared me so much that I had nightmares for days!"

He looks so arrogant and domineering, and it seems that he has been involved in many carriage incidents.

It must be because the prince consort used his power to settle all the previous problems, so he is so fearless.

The eldest princess naturally thought of this, and she was so angry that she almost laughed out loud: "So, for all these years, I have been so obedient in the capital, afraid of doing something wrong and being caught by others.

And you are using my power to protect this bitch and bastard you kept outside, right? ! ”

"Where do you put my reputation? Where do you put me?!"

The eldest princess was furious, and Lanxiang was so scared that she came out from behind her husband and hugged her son in her arms.

She knelt down and kowtowed to the princess. After a while, her forehead turned red and she looked tearful, as if she had suffered a lot of bullying.

She kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Princess, please spare me, Princess, please spare me!

Shaoqing and I are truly in love. We have known each other since childhood. Our parents arranged a marriage for us. We have known each other and grown up together. This was originally arranged by our parents and matchmakers, and it was in accordance with etiquette.

Ever since Shaoqing passed the imperial examination and was chosen by you, he also took the initiative to ask for a breakup with me.

But I had already given my innocence to Shaoqing. Without him, I couldn't survive. My parents wanted to marry me off to some rich businessman.

It was Shaoqing who saw pity for me and rescued me, taking me in and keeping me in the capital.

We were in love with each other, and I was willing to be his concubine and bear him children.

I have no other request but to stay in the capital, stay by Shaoqing's side, and raise my son.

Princess, which man in this world doesn't have three wives and four concubines? I should have been his wife, but now I am just an unofficial mistress.

Princess, please don't punish Shaoqing because of the conflict between me and Shaoqing.

He did nothing wrong, he is just too kind. It is not easy for him to stay by your side and treat you so well all these years! ”

Wen Ling sighed, Lan Xiang really has a sharp tongue.

In front of so many people, she seemed to be showing weakness, but in fact she was retreating in order to advance.

Yes, it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, even if he is the princess's consort.

There are three types of unfilial behavior, and the worst is to have no offspring. Throughout the dynasties, many princesses were unable to give birth to sons, and in the end they had to take concubines for their husbands.

What's more, the eldest princess's husband was not only famous for being good to her, he even kept his childhood sweetheart as a concubine.

After being married to the princess for so many years, he has no son, but he still raises his only son outside and does not bring him home.

This is already very considerate of the eldest princess's feelings. What's wrong with it?

This eldest princess is so domineering!

Sure enough, as soon as Lanxiang finished her tearful words, some people in the crowd outside began to whisper and say this and that.

Even the Princess Royal was almost led into this theory.

Is it true that the prince consort did nothing wrong? Is it really that she is intolerant?

No, she was not wrong, the one who was wrong was clearly the prince consort.

If what Lanxiang said was right and what should have happened, then the prince consort should have gone home and confessed the matter long ago when he kept her in Chunyu Lane.

The prince consort didn't dare to confess because he knew it was wrong.

However, when the princess heard that so many people agreed with Lanxiang's words, the indescribable feeling of frustration came up again.

Why is it right for a man to have three wives and four concubines, to rise to prominence at home with the help of her money and power, and to keep beautiful concubines outside and enjoy the happiness of having many wives?

Why can't she tolerate this? Is it because she is intolerant?

She just felt sad. Even though she was the eldest princess, she was still bound by worldly rules.

At this time, the prince consort protected Lanxiang and her son behind him again.

After being reminded by Lanxiang, he calmed down.

He looked at the princess, as if he had endured for many years and finally couldn't stand it anymore. He said calmly: "Madam, I have a clear conscience for you in the past sixteen years.

I sent your daughter away because a master predicted that she was born unlucky and incompatible with my wife and I. We would get sick and something bad would happen to us because of her.

That's why I sent your daughter away. I was afraid that you would be sad, so I brought Lanxiang's newborn daughter to you.

I was indeed wrong in this matter and I accept the punishment.

I will report today's incident to the clan court, and I will follow your instructions on how to punish me.

But even if you are a princess, you cannot kill Lanxiang and Yaozu at will. They are not slaves. If you kill them, it is also against the law.

When the emperor breaks the law, he is subject to the same punishment as the common people. When the time comes, I will kneel outside the palace gate in official uniform and demand an explanation! ”

The implication of this passage is a naked threat, threatening the eldest princess that even if she makes a scene, they can't do anything to him. At most, he will be beaten with a few boards by the clan officials.

Maybe he doesn't even need to be beaten with a stick. He will just be asked to publicly admit his mistake, and the matter will be let go lightly.

It might even become a royal scandal that must not be made public.

But if the eldest princess took the initiative to attack Lanxiang and Yaozu, it would be a crime of murder, and he would not stop until his death.

Looking at the three princes-in-law who were kneeling in front of her but acting fearlessly, the eldest princess felt more and more pain in her heart and blood flowed from the corners of her mouth again.

Is this all we have to do today?
