Chapter 94: The Imperial Decree for Divorce Has Arrived! (Part 2)
On this happy day, Jiang Wanning originally had no intention of taking action.
But when she heard Shen Yu'an's nonsense, she couldn't help it and raised her hand to give him some motherly care!
"Bullshit! Zhizhi married you, not sold herself to you. Wouldn't it be nice for her to be the Crown Prince's Consort at the Duke's Mansion? Why should she be tied to an unlucky thing like you for the rest of her life? Let go of my hand!"
Shen Yu'an was not willing to let go.
He was already very angry when Xiao Huaiyu suddenly appeared and competed with him for his wife.
He didn't expect that his mother not only didn't defend him, but also spoke for an outsider everywhere. He hated her so much!
"Mother, please stop causing trouble! In this world, what mother-in-law would push her daughter-in-law to an outsider? Do you want to look at what you are doing?!
I really doubt whether I am your son or Xiao Huaiyu is your mistress outside——"
“Bang!”
Shen Yancai heard the noise outside and came out of the mansion.
As soon as he went out, he heard this evil son talking nonsense, which almost ruined his wife's reputation.
He couldn't bear it at all.
You can give up your son, but no one can interfere with the relationship between him and his wife!
"Asshole! It's all because of your own incompetence that Zhizhi is heartbroken and determined to divorce you. If you had been half as sincere and protective of Zhizhi as Prince Xiao, you wouldn't have ended up being divorced by your wife!"
Father’s love is like a storm, coming violently and fiercely.
Shen Yu'an was slapped to the ground on the spot, his eyes full of disbelief.
Especially when he saw Xiao Huaiyu holding Song Zhizhi's hand, he stood up from the ground and stood next to Jiang Wanning and Shen Yan.
He didn't forget to curl the corners of his mouth towards himself, revealing a smug smile.
It was as if the four of them were a family.
Shen Yu'an covered his burning cheeks, feeling that he had never suffered such a great injustice in his life.
"Father, you're usually the most sensible person, and I respect you the most... But today, it was clearly Xiao Huaiyu who started the fight. How could you be as confused as mother and not distinguish right from wrong?!"
Shen Yan did not argue with him.
Just said lightly.
"A harmonious family is the foundation of everything. Your mother's right and wrong are my right and wrong... You can't protect Zhizhi, so do you want me to upset your mother too? I can still tell the difference!"
Shen Yu'an: "..."
So he is the "light" one?
Although what my father said was unpleasant to hear, if I think about it carefully, I can't find any fault with it.
He didn't know how to refute it for a moment.
He could only look at Xiao Huaiyu with hatred.
"What are you so proud of? As long as the imperial decree of divorce hasn't been issued, Zhizhi will only be my wife, and it's not your turn to get involved!"
As he said that, Shen Yu'an staggered to his feet from the ground, pretending to pull Song Zhizhi back from Xiao Huaiyu!
The next second, I heard Xing'er's clear voice coming from behind me.
"The imperial edict has arrived—"
"The Princess has arrived—"
Hear the sound.
Shen Yu'an froze.
The onlookers were also shocked, and then they all knelt down and saluted the slowly approaching carriage.
Murong Qing was also a little anxious sitting in the carriage. He held the imperial edict tightly in his hand, fearing that he would accidentally lose it. After all, this imperial edict was worth two hundred thousand taels and was really valuable.
It was all Nangong Jing's fault. He got her such a luxurious carriage for no reason, making it inconvenient for her to travel.
The same thing happened with Xiao Huaiyu. The people who came to deliver the betrothal gift blocked the street, for fear that others would not know that his Duke's family was wealthy.
How come both of them are so rich?
Are all the powerful people in the imperial capital so wealthy?
After hurrying as fast as they could, the carriage that was stuck halfway finally arrived at the gate of the Marquis' Mansion.
As soon as the wheels stopped, Murong Qing couldn't wait to lift the curtain of the carriage and got off the carriage with the imperial edict.
At this time, everyone had knelt down, leaving only Jiang Wanning and Shen Yu'an still standing.
Murong Qing first exchanged glances with Jiang Wanning, and saw her nod at him.
Then he turned to look at Shen Yu'an and said.
"Your Majesty has issued an order, why don't you kneel down immediately!"
Shen Yu'an suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, but when he saw the imperial edict held high in the hands of the eldest princess, he knew that the emperor's order was difficult to disobey, so he had to kneel on the ground.
Song Zhizhi and Xiao Huaiyu also knelt down.
Although Jiang Wanning was somewhat reluctant, he did not want to delay Zhizhi's important matter, so he knelt down with Shen Yan to listen to the order.
The princess unfolded the imperial edict and read aloud:
"The Emperor, by the Mandate of Heaven, decrees that Shen Yu'an, the second son of Pingyang Marquis Shen Yan, is lacking in virtue and unworthy of being his husband. Song Zhizhi, a daughter of the Song family, has donated two hundred thousand taels of silver and requested a divorce. I pity his misfortune and, remembering his contributions to disaster relief, grant this special favor!"
Everyone: “…”
That's all? Is the imperial edict so short?
After the princess finished announcing her order, everyone stood up according to etiquette.
Only Shen Yu'an was still kneeling on the ground, motionless, the expression on his handsome face was extremely gray, like a sculpture under the haze.
Seeing that he had no response, Murong Qing showed impatience and scolded him coldly.
"Shen Yu'an, hurry up and accept the order! Are you going to disobey the order?!"
"No...I don't recognize it!"
Shen Yu'an reacted suddenly and tried his best to retort.
"Your Majesty cannot possibly issue such an order. This imperial decree... must be fake!"
Murong Qing ignored him and handed the imperial edict to Xing'er.
Xing'er took the imperial edict, strode to Shen Yu'an, and stuffed it into his arms.
Said angrily!
"Here, take it! Check for yourself whether the imperial edict is real or fake! If you want to die, go ahead and die, but don't drag down the Marquis and his wife!
"Second Young Master... Miss Song is such a good woman, yet you can bully her to such an extent. Even if the wealth and honor were given to you, you wouldn't be able to accept it!"
In an instant, Shen Yu'an felt as if there was a thousand pounds of weight in his arms.
The imperial edict was clearly just a light piece of brocade, but now it seemed to be covered with poisonous thorns, making it almost impossible for him to hold it.
He opened his mouth and wanted to say something.
His throat was so hoarse that even making a sound was extremely difficult.
Behind.
Xiao Huaiyu opened the fan and waved it, looking very satisfied.
"Today is such a good day, everything I wish for has come true. Now that the divorce papers have arrived, Zhizhi is free!
Although she is no longer a wife, I really have no right to touch her... However, she can touch me, as much as she wants, I don't mind at all! "
These words were naturally said to Shen Yu'an.
Shen Yu'an's face instantly became even uglier.
Murong Qing passed him by, walked up to Song Zhizhi and congratulated her.
"Zhizhi, congratulations! You've finally escaped from the sea of suffering... I think Prince Xiao is quite sincere. Would you like to consider it?"
Song Zhizhi nodded slightly.
"I've already accepted it. Only a fool would refuse a betrothal gift of 500 Taiwans."
Murong Qing was a little surprised: "Five hundred?! Doesn't that mean you're richer than before?"
Song Zhizhi suddenly realized: "It seems so..."
Seeing the two of them talking and laughing as they walked towards the Marquis' Mansion, as if they had encountered some great joy, even their steps were very brisk.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, facing the pointing and gossip of the onlookers, Shen Yu'an's face showed an embarrassment he had never seen before.
It felt like something was strangling his heart, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.
After a long while, he suddenly seemed to think of something, stood up and was about to grab Song Zhizhi's hand.
"No, Zhizhi! You can't leave me like this, you have my child in your belly!
Do you want him to never see his biological father as soon as he is born?!"
“Bang!”
Jiang Wanning stretched out his hand and slapped him hard in the face.
Just waiting for him to say this.
"Shen Yu'an, wake up! The child is dead!"
