Chen Boyang also understood the principle of "when the wall falls, everyone pushes it", but he did not expect that Princess Yi Yang would be so ruthless and act so quickly.
She didn't even try to save him and just gave up on herself.
"I can promise you, but there is a condition."
"you say."
"You can take Yunxu away, but you can't change his surname. He is a child of my Chen family, and this cannot be changed. Don't even think about severing the bloodline of my Chen family."
This is the only son of the Chen family.
Princess Yiyang said, "I didn't intend to change the child's surname. Isn't Qian'er still surnamed Xu? But you also have to understand that what you did is too serious. If it's for the child's good, she should change her surname and completely sever ties with you so that she won't be implicated by you."
Chen Boyang said coldly, "He is my blood. No matter what I do, whether it is blessing or curse, he should bear it. This is the most basic filial piety of a child."
Princess Yiyang laughed sarcastically, "That Chen Xinyue is your daughter, but she brought you here, didn't she? You can slowly enjoy this filial piety."
Chen Boyang was choked and speechless, "I will not let that evil girl go."
"Don't say anything harsh for now. With an uncle who's the second-in-command of the East Factory, it's hard for you to touch her. It's pretty miserable to be in your current state. You get nothing. Tell me, what are you trying to achieve?"
Chen Yunxu has been in a bad mood recently. His father is a beast who kills his entire family. He hates him to death. If Chen Xinyue has the chance, she would chop him into pieces herself, which would not satisfy her hatred. As a father, he deserves the resentment from his own children.
After signing the divorce agreement, Princess Yi Yang left without looking back and returned to the Princess's Mansion with her children. The Chen family members then clamored to move into the Marquis' Mansion, saying that it was such a big house and looked so grand.
Before Chen Boyang's case was decided, internal fighting began and they fought several times.
…
In the palace, Emperor Xuande summoned the cabinet ministers to discuss the case of Chen Boyang. The impact was too bad, and the people were kneeling and begging for his death penalty.
The cabinet ministers didn't care about a marquis, so they just sentenced him as he should be.
At this moment, the chief eunuch An Gonggong brought a booklet. Emperor Xuande took a look at it and his face looked unhappy.
"My dear ministers, take a look at this Chen family. I underestimated him. He is actually involved with Prince Ning, who is even pleading for him."
"What? Prince Ning? How did he get involved with Prince Ning?"
Prince Ning is the emperor's uncle. His fiefdom is in Yunnan, a remote area. However, it is rich in medicinal herbs, minerals and other precious goods, which is a concern for the court. They want to take them back, but they have no suitable excuse.
Emperor Xuande said, "Chen Boyang's first wife was the lost daughter of Prince Ning. She was later taken back to be recognized as her relative. We had no contact with her and thought she was missing. After so many years, they have been able to contact her again."
"The wives that Lord Chen married are all more prestigious than the last. It's quite impressive that he can live off his wife to this extent."
It was hard to tell whether Lord Wu was praising or mocking him. Now that Prince Ning was pleading for mercy, it would be difficult to sentence him to death.
Emperor Xuande snorted coldly, "Prince Ning is also in the capital, pleading for mercy on Chen Boyang's behalf. He will return the goods he smuggled double and offer a copper mine as a gift. This makes it impossible for me to deal with him."
Wu Ge Lao said: "Chen Boyang's life is also quite valuable. A copper mine is worth a fortune. It is worth considering."
Emperor Xuande: "But how can we stop the gossip?"
There is this relationship, but Chen Boyang didn't mention it before, and now Emperor Xuande is in a passive position.
Liu Ge Lao thought for a moment and said, "Since this is caused by Fang Jing'an, the second in command of the East Factory, why not let the Fang family suffer a little injustice, drop the case, re-examine it, and find the murderer again?"
This is to find someone to take the blame and get Chen Boyang out.
This is very unfair to the Fang family, but in the face of the overall situation, what does the sacrifice of one family and one clan matter?
Emperor Xuande nodded and said, "This is the only way. The court should pay more attention to Prince Ning."
"Your Highness obeys your command."
Prince Ning's power grew stronger and stronger, and he became a local emperor and a hegemon. He was also the orthodox royal family, so Emperor Xuande had to be on guard against him.
In this way, the proposal to reduce the number of military generals in the court was suppressed, and those old generals were still useful.
It is better to have a few people die in battle than to reduce the number of people causing trouble in the capital.
Those in power must be so cruel that they can sacrifice anyone for the sake of the world.
Chen Xinyue didn't know that something that was almost set in stone could still have unexpected changes. Now that she had put her worries to rest, she was cooking delicious food for Zhao Letong in the general's mansion.
Although she was a doctor in her previous life, her father was a famous chef. She couldn't cook complicated dishes, but she could still make delicious home-cooked meals. She was not a kitchen killer.
The seasonings and cuisine of that era were not mature enough. Chen Xinyue discussed and researched with the chef for a long time, and made fruit wood roast duck, lychee meat, fish-flavored shredded pork, steamed pork with preserved vegetables, grilled lamb skewers, hot pot and other delicacies, as well as brown sugar milk tea and various fruit teas, showing all her skills.
The Zhao family members were stunned by the delicious food. Even before Zhao Biao returned home, they couldn't help drooling and wanted to try it.
Everyone looked at Zhao Letong. If she ate first, Zhao Biao would definitely not be angry when he came back.
Zhao Letong's face was expressionless, like a compassionate and calm bodhisattva, but inside he was madly struggling with thoughts, "We're eating first, not waiting for father. This isn't filial piety. No, no, no."
[But it's delicious. It smells so good that I could even chew it with my own feet.]
[Sister Chen might not make a move, but when she does, it's a powerful one. She must stay and become my nephew's wife. Who dares to snatch her away?]
