Chapter 277 I Won't Come Back
"Madam." The Duke of England called out.
The Duke's wife turned around and looked at him.
Through the fragments of sunlight, the Duke of England seemed to see the Duke's wife when she was young.
Gentle, quiet, soft-looking, and seems to have a good temper.
What was he thinking at that time?
He thought, she looked easy to manipulate and bully...
His intentions were not pure at that time, and he had no feelings for his wife.
But without love, can you give birth to four children?
They have survived all these years without any feelings.
Why……
Why can't you forgive him just once?
Can't spend the rest of my life with him?
He opened his mouth to speak, but the Duke's wife spoke first: "I won't come back. From now on...we won't meet again, and I will never forgive you."
She said this and left.
It was done cleanly and neatly, without any hesitation or reluctance, and without even looking back at the British prince.
It was just like when she got married, a few carriages held half of her life.
The second son was still lying on his stomach, his face pale. He had been beaten so hard with dozens of boards that he would not be able to recover for more than half a year. He stared at Duke Yingguo and sneered, "Father, let's go and take the child to live in our new house. I wonder if it's as big as the yard you bought for your mistress?"
The Duke of England became furious.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"I'm not talking nonsense." The second young master Yao figured everything out last night.
His father didn't love his mother, so he didn't love the children she gave birth to.
"You registered Yao Feng under mother's name and made him the legitimate son. If it weren't for this incident, he would have been the legitimate Duke of England. In the future, we brothers will have to live under his will..." The second son of Yao laughed sarcastically, "Father is so calculating."
The Duke of England was like a deflated ball, unable to speak.
The second brother hit the nail on the head.
He really wanted his beloved's son to inherit the family business...
Thinking about it now, it’s quite ridiculous.
He closed his eyes. For the first time, he was speechless after being confronted by his son.
The fourth young master looked at this and that.
Just one day.
His family broke up.
When his mother left, he wanted to follow her, but his mother wouldn't let him.
His mother told him to study hard and take the imperial examination in the future.
The fourth young master didn’t quite understand.
The Duke's wife said, "Your Majesty wants to restore the imperial examination system and select talents from it. This is your chance."
Restore the imperial examination?
The Fourth Young Master had never thought before that he could become an official just by recommendation...
But now his home is gone, so... he can only rely on himself.
Watching his mother leaving, the Fourth Young Master secretly made up his mind to study hard, become an official in the future, bring his mother back home, and live a glorious life. He would not have to care about anyone's face or ask for anyone's charity.
The second son won the argument with his father, and he felt that the anger in his heart had been relieved a little. He looked at the silly fourth son, and said with pain: "Let's go, brother. From now on, there will be no Yingguo Mansion. You and I are both mortals..."
After a pause, he looked at the Duke of England sarcastically again.
"Oh, and there's also Old Man Yao..."
British public "..."
…
The banquet hosted by Concubine Shu and Concubine De was indeed lively.
No matter what everyone thought, who would dare not give face to Concubine De, not to mention the Concubine Dowager and the two princes?
When Concubine Shu was talking to everyone with a smile on her face, the eunuch's words "The Empress Dowager has arrived" made everyone turn around and look at her.
Queen Mother...
By the way, there is also a queen mother in this palace.
How could I forget about her?
The Queen Mother didn't come here on her own initiative. There was no need for her to get involved in this muddy water.
But the emperor sent someone.
Let her go.
She has to go.
The Queen Mother was both angry and aggrieved.
She used to control the emperor.
Now everything is controlled by the emperor.
It is said that there cannot be two tigers in one mountain.
The Empress Dowager was also able to pretend before. She and Concubine Shu followed the same style, so they automatically became rivals.
Now that she appeared, the originally harmonious and friendly atmosphere was completely ruined.
The Queen Mother exhaled and cheered herself up.
She knew that everyone was laughing at her, and the more so, the more she had to cheer up.
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has gone." Eunuch Li reported with a smile.
The emperor said: "I understand. Let's go. I will go too."
【Let’s go and watch the fun. 】
The emperor put down the memorial and stood up, not forgetting to say to An Jiu beside him: "Xiao Jiu, you go too."
An Jiu was happy.
She was also curious about what kind of excitement the emperor was talking about.
The garden is full of vitality in spring, and even the sunlight seems to become especially gentle.
When the emperor came, the atmosphere in the garden was very subtle.
The Queen Mother sat at the head of the table, expressionless. Normally, Concubine Shu would have been gentle, demure, and kind, but with the Queen Mother around, she couldn't say a lot of things, like an art student seeing her mortal enemy sitting on the judges' bench...
As for Concubine De, she had the Empress Dowager on one side and the Concubine Dowager on the other, so it was not easy for her to openly favor one over the other.
Only Concubine Shu attended in her best attire, and those who didn't know would have thought she was there to choose a concubine.
There was no other way. The palace was usually very boring, so she could only show off her newly painted nails, newly made clothes, and newly bought hair accessories on occasions like this...
In a word, I want to surpass everyone else and let them know that I am the most beautiful!
At this time, the emperor arrived with several princes.
It instantly attracted everyone's attention, but everyone soon discovered something was wrong.
Each of the princes is a handsome man when taken individually, but it looks weird when they stand together with the emperor.
Is Ming Wang a little old?
Is Prince Jing too weak?
Prince Duan doesn't look very smart.
The Eighth Prince is too immature...
In short, they were all surpassed by the emperor.
At this moment, everyone resonated with the deceased emperor.
No wonder they had to go against all odds to elect the emperor; the contrast is so simple and clear.
Everyone saluted and the emperor asked them to stand up. He also greeted the empress dowager and Concubine Shu with a smile.
The Queen Mother didn't want to pay attention to him, but she could only put on a smile and pretend to be happy.
As for Concubine Shu, she continued to greet the emperor without changing her expression.
Prince Ming was very dissatisfied with the emperor because he did not allow him to leave the capital. He was too lazy to watch the emperor's hypocritical performance. Of course, he was not interested in the women dressed up here. He turned around and walked to the lake to feed the fish.
The Eighth Prince felt uncomfortable being stared at by so many women, so he followed King Ming.
Prince Jing smiled helplessly at everyone, as if he was here just for the sake of formality.
Only Prince Duan suddenly became a popular person and the object of everyone's attention.
An Jiu followed the emperor, listening to his hypocritical reminiscing with the empress dowager and Concubine Shu, and his eyes unconsciously fell on Concubine De next to him.
In the past, when the emperor appeared, her attention was all on him, but today...
She seemed distracted.
An Jiu followed her line of sight and saw something not far away...
Prince Duan and Prince Jing were sitting next to each other, and it was hard to tell which one she was looking at.
Just when An Jiu was suspicious, Concubine De had already retracted her gaze, as if the previous glance was just a casual one.
Before An Jiu could look away, she happened to meet the eyes of Prince Jing who was looking over here. Prince Jing gave An Jiu a very gentle smile.
An Jiu withdrew his gaze.
