Chapter 193 Husband, Please Divorce Me
This was the first time Chunxi got drunk since his father passed away.
She felt dizzy and extremely excited. She rode a horse with the princess out of the palace to get some fresh air. Her head was in a mess. She didn't know what year it was or where she was. She only knew to gallop after the princess on horseback.
However, they had not ridden far when they met Yun Wantang and his group.
Today Yun Wantang booked a pleasure boat for a banquet. Her good friends from childhood have all become ladies from wealthy families now. They haven't seen each other for many years, so they gathered together to chat about the past, their husbands' families, and their children. Before they knew it, it was evening.
After getting on their respective carriages to go home, everyone was still reluctant to leave. No one had expected that the two groups would meet so unexpectedly.
These people had only drunk a little fruit wine and were all sober. When they saw Princess Hengyang, they all stopped to greet her. Yun Wantang even got off the carriage in person and went forward to talk to Princess Hengyang.
Princess Hengyang did not recognize Yun Wantang. She was anxious to take Chunxi to see the stars and ignored Yun Wantang completely.
She lightly squeezed the horse's belly and was about to leave when someone in the crowd suddenly chuckled.
The laughter was quite sarcastic, probably because the princess felt that although Princess Hengyang looked noble and dignified, she was not loved by her partner. Now that Yun Wantang had returned to the capital, Princess Hengyang did not even have the courage to see Yun Wantang, and could only drink in the mansion to drown her sorrows. As a result, she got drunk and came out to embarrass herself.
"Whoever was laughing just now, stand up!"
Princess Hengyang had sharp ears and raised her whip to ask for punishment, but the man quickly stopped talking. The others also shook their heads and said that Princess Hengyang had misheard.
"Bullshit! I clearly heard it, and you still dare to protect her!"
Princess Hengyang was very angry and simply jumped off her horse to check one by one. Yun Wantang stepped forward to smooth things over, and her words and deeds seemed to be asking Princess Hengyang to be more generous and not to take it too seriously.
What Princess Hengyang hated to hear the most was this kind of high-sounding words. She whipped Yun Wantang hard to keep him away from her. Shen Qingchi immediately stepped forward to protect Yun Wantang, and the others also got off the carriage and surrounded her.
"What are you doing? Do you still want to rely on your numbers to attack this princess?"
Princess Hengyang's voice rose in anger.
Chunxi was drowsy on horseback and didn't hear anything else, so he only heard this sentence.
She and the princess are in love...ah, they have similar interests and have finally become close friends. If someone dares to hit the princess, can she just stand by and watch?
Of course not.
Cao Chunxi has never lost a fight since she was a child, and she will never let anyone bully the princess!
No one knew who started the fight first, but after Chunxi rushed to Princess Hengyang, the situation became chaotic.
When Shen Qingyuan arrived at the Night Watch Office, the entrance was bustling with activity.
A group of ladies from aristocratic families took advantage of the night to fight with the drunk Princess Hengyang. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they had seen a ghost.
Princess Hengyang was still drunk, so the Night Patrol Officer didn't dare to act rashly. They could only invite everyone back to the Night Patrol Officer and then notify the various prefectures to redeem the people.
All the ladies from the noble families were placed in the lobby of the government office. When they saw Shen Qingyuan, they wanted to come forward and complain. However, Shen Qingyuan ignored them with a cold face and just asked someone to take him to see Chunxi.
Shen Qingyuan's pressure was so terrifying that the person leading the way couldn't help but explain in a low voice: "We didn't hurt Madam Shen, but she was too strong. For the safety of the other ladies, we had to place her alone."
As he was speaking, a small room appeared at the end of the corridor, and the person in charge of guarding it quickly unlocked the door.
As soon as the door was opened, Chunxi jumped out like a leopard, waving his fists.
Fortunately, Shen Qingyuan had anticipated this and dodged the incoming fist, holding the man firmly.
He can still jump up and hit people, so he should be fine.
Shen Qingyuan's heart finally settled down.
The whole person was wrapped in a familiar chest, and the familiar smell was in her nose. Chunxi put away her fangs and claws, raised her head and stared at Shen Qingyuan for a long time, and her brain finally reacted: "Husband, are you here to save me?"
Chunxi's voice was obviously hoarse and his hair was messy, and he looked very embarrassed.
"Um."
Shen Qingyuan responded and carried her into the house.
Chunxi didn't realize the seriousness of the situation yet, so she started to complain: "My husband, the princess and I were planning to go out of town to watch the stars, but on the way we met a group of people. They surrounded us and wanted to beat the princess without any explanation. I rushed over to protect her, but two fists were no match for four hands, and they caught me. However, the princess escaped. My husband, please take people to rescue her."
"Someone has gone to rescue them."
Shen Qingyuan answered in cooperation and quickly checked Chunxi's body from head to toe.
Chunxi had scratches on his face, marks of being pinched hard on his wrists, some of his hair was pulled out, and there were bruises on his waist and back.
After checking, a frost formed on Shen Qingyuan's face.
Chunxi was a little frightened and asked weakly, "Husband, have I caused you any trouble?"
Without waiting for Shen Qingyuan to answer, Chunxi continued, "I am responsible for my own actions. I was the one who hit him. If you want to kill me or cut me up, come to me. Husband, please write the divorce letter quickly so that I won't be implicated."
Chunxi lowered her head and was about to tear off the hem of her skirt to write a letter of divorce to Shen Qingyuan. Shen Qingyuan held her back, his expression becoming even uglier. "Don't think of severing ties with me just because something goes wrong. You are my Shen Qingyuan's avowed wife. Even if you commit the heinous crime of confiscating your property and exterminating your entire clan, I will never divorce you."
Chunxi blinked and said admiringly, "Husband, you look so beautiful when you say these words. My heart is beating fast. If you don't believe me, you can touch it and try it."
“…”
Forget it, why would he tell this to a drunkard?
After comforting Chunxi, Shen Qingyuan returned to the lobby.
The inspector of the Night Patrol had never encountered such a difficult situation before. He approached Shen Qingyuan and whispered, "Sir Shen, this incident tonight has implications for many people. I don't know how to handle it. Does Sir Shen have any advice?"
"Of course we have to handle it impartially. We must first understand the whole story."
Shen Qingyuan answered without hesitation. The prosecutor's lips twitched, and he couldn't help but remind her, "But when my people arrived, they saw your wife and the princess drunk and beating others. If we really want to handle this impartially, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to your wife."
It would be fine if the princess got drunk and hit someone, but Chunxi was of humble origin and her only supporter was Shen Qingyuan. If they wanted to appease the public anger, they would naturally have to target her.
Shen Qingyuan raised his eyelids slightly and looked at the prosecutor steadily: "My wife is also injured, and she is seriously injured. Just now, my wife said that someone was trying to harm the princess first, and she attacked to protect the princess. My wife and the princess were just drunk, not crazy. It is unreasonable for them to hit someone for no reason. Is that right, sir?"
Sweat broke out on the prosecutor's forehead.
He originally thought that Princess Hengyang was drunk and had not suffered any harm, so he asked Chunxi to apologize and smooth things over while Princess Hengyang was still drunk. However, he did not expect Shen Qingyuan to be so protective of his shortcomings. Not only did he not accept the apology, he also wanted to investigate the matter in detail.
Isn't this forcing him to offend people?
The prosecutor was feeling awkward when someone came to report, "Sir, Young Master Wei is here."
“…”
Well, here comes another ancestor!
