The Favoured Medical Princess: 703 Yijue
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!
Nangong Qin’s lips pursed into a straight line, and his expression changed several times.
Li Chengen was his student. At first, he felt that this talented person had good academic and moral character, so he betrothed his second daughter to him, but he didn't expect that he had made a mistake.
He was silent for a moment and then ordered: "Go and bring me someone..." After a pause, he added, "Call the second... girl."
Nangong Yan is already married, so logically she should be called Second Aunt Grandma, but Nangong Qin changed the title, making people have to guess what he meant.
The young man responded and left first.
After a while, the servant brought a young man in his twenties into the study. He was wearing a blue brocade robe, and his belly was slightly protruding. It looked much rounder than before marriage. Seeing that the arrogance of his youth was gone, his eyes were wandering.
Nangong Qin looked deeply at Li Chengen in front of him. It turned out that his second son-in-law had changed before he knew it.
Li Chengen felt a little guilty when Nangong Qin saw it, but he still stepped forward, bowed to the three of them, and then said with concern: "Father-in-law, my son-in-law heard that you were returning home, so he rushed there immediately. Here you go, are you okay?"
Nangong Qin stared at Li Chengen coldly and said, "I'm fine. If you're okay, please come back."
Li Chengen's face froze, and he knew that he was in a hurry after all, so he said respectfully: "Father-in-law, my son-in-law is here to take Yan'er home."
He has the nerve to say it? ! Nangong Sheng had a cold expression on his face. If his father and second uncle hadn't been present, he would have really wanted to teach Li Chengen a lesson.
At this moment, the servant's voice sounded outside: "I've seen the second girl...Mother."
Following that, Nangong Yan, who was wearing a lake-colored dress and a crescent bun, walked in unhurriedly. In just a few days, she had lost a lot of weight and was as thin as It looks like it will be blown away by the wind at any time.
The moment she saw Li Chengen, she looked a little pale and her steps slowed down, but then she continued walking forward and stepped forward to salute Nangong and Qin.
Li Chengen looked at Nangong Yan and said, "Madam, my husband is here to take you back. You should go and clean up quickly." There was a sense of matter-of-factness in his tone.
Li Chengen was also a candidate for the imperial examination, but he failed in his reputation. Before the examination, his father-in-law Nangong Qin and several teachers at the academy said that he was almost ready, but...he could only lament his bad luck. A thousand-mile horse also needs knowledge of Bole, so I can only wait until the next meeting to try. Unexpectedly, not long after the examination, there were rumors of favoritism and malpractice in the Enke examination. Li Chengen also went to inquire about Huang Hetai's old works when he was in Jingzhou. The rhetoric was gorgeous and rhetorical. It was worse than him. How could anyone have it? Yuanzhicai! He immediately concluded that there must be fraud in the examination.
They have a scholarly family and a prosperous family. Naturally, they cannot have the daughter of a guilty minister become the wife of the clan, which will hinder the family's success. And as a scholar, how could he have anything to do with malpractice for personal gain!
In order to show his innocence, Li Chengen thought deeply and immediately wrote a letter of divorce to divorce Nangong Yan. In this way, he was able to maintain his reputation and get the opportunity to discuss poetry and poetry with him in the past. Appreciation from all the students.
But no one expected that the situation would change drastically on the day of the palace examination. To this day, Nangong Qinxue has cleared his grievances, been released from the prison, and returned to his post.
Since the Nangong family is no longer innocent, Nangong Yan is still qualified to be the wife of the Li family, so Li Chengen personally came to take her back to give her some face.
Li Chengen smiled reservedly at Nangong Yan. He thought she would shed tears of gratitude, but Nangong Yan's eyes trembled slightly and he looked away, his face getting paler.
Li Chengen frowned slightly, a flash of displeasure flashed in his eyes, then he looked at Nangong Qin, bowed and said, "Father-in-law, my son-in-law will take my wife back now."
Nangong Qin's face was as dark as water, and he did not respond to Li Chengen's words. He looked at Nangong Yan and asked, "Yan'er, I want to hear your thoughts as a father."
Nangong Yan was shocked and looked up at Nangong Qin in disbelief.
My father is upright and rarely mince words and deeds. Since he asked her this, he was really asking her what she thought. So what his father meant was that whether she wanted to return to the Li family or not, the Nangong family would make the decision for her.
Thinking about it, a mist appeared in Nangong Yan's eyes, and his fists were clenched in his sleeves. She has never made a decision for herself in her life. This time, maybe it's time...
"Father," Nangong Yan looked at Nangong Qin without blinking, her red lips parted slightly, and she said slowly but firmly, "There are no abandoned wives in the Nangong family."
Hearing this, Li Chengen's eyebrows stretched slightly. Finally, although his wife was not generous enough, she still understood the general situation and the importance. But yes, which woman is willing to be abandoned, and which family is willing to accept an abandoned woman.
Li Chengen straightened his back, his eyes filled with a hint of arrogance.
But soon, the smile on Li Chengen's lips could no longer be maintained.
I saw Nangong Yan looking at Li Chengen again, his usually soft eyes were now decisive and cold, and then he said to Nangong Qin Zhengse: "Father, we are united because of righteousness, and we are separated because of righteousness. My daughter must be with Li Chengen. Absolute kindness."
With that said, she gave Nangong Qin a deep blessing and said, "Please ask father to make the decision for his daughter!"
For a moment, there was silence in the study. Neither Li Chengen nor the three men of the Nangong family could hide their shock. However, Nangong Qin, his father and his son, and Nangong Mu quickly calmed down after a brief period of surprise. .
Nangong Sheng looked at this concubine in surprise. He had really underestimated this second sister before.
But Li Chengen's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. He simply suspected that he was hallucinating.
Yi Jue? !
Nangong Yan actually said that he wanted to break up with him? !
How can this work!
In Dayu, there are three ways for couples to divorce:
The first is to divorce your wife. If a man divorces his wife, the woman has violated the seven rules. The divorced woman will become an object of contempt for others;
The second is Heli. As the name suggests, Heli means peace is the most important thing. The husband and wife break up peacefully after reconciliation, rather than the husband unilaterally divorcing his wife;
The third type is righteousness. Yijue means severing all ties. Generally, it means that if a husband and wife or relatives of both spouses or one spouse assaults, curses, kills, injures, rapes, etc., he or she will be treated as a criminal. The relationship between husband and wife is broken, and from then on, the marriage between man and woman has nothing to do with each other.
Just imagine how this woman could break up with her husband for no reason. It must be the husband or his family who made the woman unbearable. People who don’t know will definitely think that her moral character is lacking...
Li Chengen can completely imagine that once the two of them break up, he will become the laughing stock of the whole capital, and his career will be completely ruined...
"No!" Li Chengen objected with a livid face, "You can't be righteous."
He felt that his attitude was too strong, so he softened his tone and said: "Yan'er, I know that I acted a little impulsively because of my momentary indignation, but now haven't I come to pick you up in person? We husband and wife have always treated each other with respect, so how can we reach the point of extreme righteousness?"
He thought that he had done his utmost to be benevolent and righteous. According to the precarious situation of the Nangong family at that time, it would not be unusual for some cruel people to directly report Nangong Yan's sudden illness.
He has always been upright and aboveboard, so naturally he cannot do such a cruel and heartless thing. He just sent Nangong Yan back to his parents' home, but he didn't expect him to care about the relationship between husband and wife, but Nangong Yan repayed her with righteousness?
Thinking about it, the anger in Li Chengen's chest surged like waves.
Nangong Yan straightened her thin waist, looked at Li Chengen calmly, and said: "You treated your wife like a piece of grass back then, why do you come here to show off today!"
Her tone was extremely calm, but it was filled with deep sadness.
It is easy to change people's hearts, but it is said that people's hearts are easy to change.
She no longer wants to live this life with a hypocrite. She might as well live with the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha, at least the Buddha will not abandon her...
"You..." Li Chengen suppressed the anger in his heart, called her by name, rolled up her sleeves and said angrily, "Nangongyan, if you are unwilling to go back with me, then the only way is for the Li family to divorce your wife!"
He wants the Nangong family to pay the price for their humiliation to him!
Who would have thought that Nangong Yan looked calm. Since he had given up, he would no longer be hurt by the other party's actions. She said coldly: "Master Li, may I ask which of the seven rules I have violated? Why do you divorce me?!"
"You..." Li Chengen was so angry that the veins on his forehead throbbed and he was speechless for a moment.
Nangong Yan didn’t want to talk to him any more, so she gave Nangong Qin a deep blessing and said, “Father, my daughter has made up her mind, please ask your father to make it happen!”
Women are so impulsive! Li Chengen thought to himself, no wonder the saying goes, "Long hair makes short of knowledge." He hurriedly said to Nangong Qin: "Father-in-law, as the saying goes, 'I would rather demolish ten temples than ruin one marriage.' You should help my son-in-law." Please give your lady some good advice."
Li Chengen doesn't think that Nangong Qin will agree with Jue. This matter will be detrimental to the reputation of both families. The Nangong family is a century-old family, but there has never been any precedent of Jue!
The Nangong family cannot have an abandoned wife, but if there is a righteous daughter, will it have a good reputation?
He looked at Nangong Qin with burning eyes, trying to use his father-in-law to dispel his wife's delusions, but unexpectedly, Nangong Qin said: "Yan'er, have you thought about it clearly?"
This is a road of no return!
No matter what, divorce and divorce are still righteous, and the woman will suffer the most! Such is the world!
Nangong Yan nodded resolutely. She was not angry for a moment, but had been thinking deeply about it for several days.
As early as after the results of the palace examination came out, she knew that her father might be acquitted. From then on, she expected that Eli Chengen's temperament would probably come to take her back, and sure enough...
Nangong Qin sighed quietly in his heart and said: "Yan'er, since you have made up your mind, then let it go."
The daughter of the Nangong family is not someone who can just come and go when someone calls her.
Nangong Qin’s words made Nangong Yan feel relieved and no longer wanted to see Li Chengen.
When a couple is together, of course she hopes to have a good time together, but when she mentions righteousness, his first reaction is not to reconcile, but to divorce his wife. Since he thinks he is right, then even if she goes back, he will how? In this life, she will not be able to find peace of mind; in this life, she will have trouble sleeping and eating.
Li Chengen looked at the Nangong family members in the study in disbelief. No one in the room objected to such a ridiculous idea. Are the Nangong family members crazy?
On this day, Li Chengen returned to Li's house in despair, alone.
On the next day, the dispute between the second daughter of the Nangong family and her husband became known to everyone in the royal capital. Someone secretly went to find out the whole story, and soon found out the ins and outs of the matter. .
It turned out that the Li family was unkind and unjust. When they saw that their in-laws were involved in a fraud case, they kicked out their daughter-in-law Nangong Yan. After Nangong Qin was acquitted, the Li family came to take her back to the house again. However, Nangong Yan had a fierce personality and preferred to be righteous. I don't want to go back to my husband's house again.
What is commendable is that the Nangong family has a clear understanding of the situation and responded to Nangong Yan's request and agreed to break up the relationship with the Li family.
When the rumors spread, the eldest mistress of Nangong Mansion, Mrs. Liu, personally led her servants to the Li family in Hulu Hutong and retrieved Nangong Yan's dowry.
This Li family is just a poor family. Li Chengen brought his widowed mother and younger siblings all the way to study in the royal capital. He sold the fields and house in his hometown long ago, and now the whole family has just enough for food and clothing. Nangong Yan's dowry was supporting him, and even on weekdays, it was Nangong Yan's dowry that Li Chengen met with friends through literature and talked about poetry and flowers with those students.
In the past, Nangongyan thought about her husband and wife being one, and thought that her husband was a talented man who never argued with the Li family, but he didn't want all the money to go to white-eyed wolves.
Now that the two families are inseparable, Liu Qingqing is not polite to the Li family and directly takes away the dowry and servants.
In the end, only an empty Li family was left, and the Li family was criticized by the surrounding neighbors and could not hold their heads up...
Li’s mother was so worried that she almost fainted. Without Nangongyan’s dowry, the Li family’s food, clothing and daily necessities would be gone. However, Li Chengen, who was deaf to what was happening outside the window, was only worried about his future career being ruined. Blocked by the Nangong family...
Liu Qingqing is too lazy to step on the lost dog. She knows in her heart that the Li family has been so smooth in the past few years that they have no self-awareness. She will not need to take action in the future. Reality will naturally hit them hard.
For the Nangong family, as long as Nangong Yan can think openly, everything will be fine.
After Liu Qingqing returned to Nangong Mansion, she learned from the steward that Nangong Sheng was in Nangong Qin's outer study. Not only their father and son, but Nangong Mu was also called there.
Nangong Mu Zheng, who was in the study at this moment, took a piece of tissue paper from his brother Nangong Qin. After reading it with a delicate expression, he handed it to Nangong Sheng.
Seeing that his father and uncle had strange expressions on their faces, Nangong Sheng vaguely guessed that what the secret letter said was probably not simple, but even though he had been prepared, he was still shocked when he saw it.
The expressions of the three men were indescribably complicated.
"Brother, what do you mean..." Nangong Mu was the first to speak.
Nangong Sheng's eyes were also focused on Nangong Qin, waiting for his father's decision.
Nangong Qin seemed not to have heard anything, and lowered his eyes in deep thought. After a while, he said decisively: "Everything will be as A Yi said."
Every word is sonorous and powerful.
There was silence in the study. Nangong Sheng stood up and put the piece of silk paper in his hand on the candlelight. The moment the flame touched a corner of the silk paper, he greedily devoured it. In the blink of an eye, only a corner of the paper was left fluttering. The ground fell on the bluestone floor, and a few words were clearly written on the unburned paper: ...near the rivers and lakes and far away from the temples.
The flames jumped and flickered, and finally completely swallowed up the last sentence remaining on the paper, leaving only a little fluffy ash...
For these three men in Nangong Mansion, this is destined to be a sleepless night.
The fraud storm finally subsided, and the people quickly put these things behind them, while the new scholars began to devote themselves to the Shujishi examination.
Until one night two days later, a house named Hao in the west of the royal capital city was visited by thieves late at night. Because the house that was robbed was an official's family, Jingzhao Mansion did not dare to neglect, and immediately sent more manpower to investigate, and finally arrested him the next day. The thief lived. However, among the seized property, the squad leader found an account book. After reading the account book, Jingzhao Prefect's expression changed drastically and he presented it to the emperor as quickly as possible.
What was recorded in the account book was the details of the sale and purchase of the exam questions. When and where they were sold to whom, and how much money was collected. Everything was detailed.
The emperor immediately ordered the interrogation of the official surnamed Hao, but when Lu Huaining led the imperial guards to the Hao Mansion, what was waiting for them was a dead body hanging from a beam, dangling coldly in mid-air...
As soon as this incident came out, the fraud case once again set off a wave of waves.
It’s conceivable who can know the test questions in advance and sell them!
Examiner Nangong Qin!
The censors immediately jumped up. Zhu Yushi, together with Chen Yushi, Grand Scholar Li and others, went to the imperial study room to report to the emperor, righteously demanding that the emperor investigate the fraud case strictly.
The emperor was so worried that he was "forced" by these officials, and he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart: The evidence is conclusive, could it be that Nangong Qin is really bold...
The emperor thought over and over again, and now that things have come to a point, the only option is to detain Nangong Qin again!
"Huairen..."
Just when the emperor was about to issue an order, a young chamberlain suddenly came in hurriedly. He seemed to be out of breath. He saluted and said: "Your Majesty, there is good news! Three thousand miles away, we are sending someone from the south. Good news!"
Hearing this, the emperor was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Announce it! Announce it quickly!"
The other officials in the imperial study had different expressions, but Zhu Yushi's eyes were dark, with a vague premonition of something bad. The Zhennan Prince's Mansion and Nangong Mansion in southern Xinjiang are in-laws, and the principle of "everyone is prosperous and both suffer losses" applies from the court to the people...
After a while, a heroic young soldier in armor strode in under the guidance of the little chamberlain. Judging from his dusty appearance, it was obvious that he had traveled a long distance.
The young soldier knelt down on one knee, gave the emperor a military salute, and said: "General Tian Detao comes to see the emperor. Long live my emperor. Long live my emperor. The last general came day and night to report the victory to the emperor on the order of the prince. Half a month ago, the Crown Prince led 100,000 iron cavalry to Ruijiang City, the capital of Baiyue. Ruijiang City is in danger and will be captured soon."
Tian Detao spoke impassionedly and passionately.
However, in fact, he had arrived in Yuhe Town near the Royal Capital ten days ago, and was lurking in the town in disguise. He followed the prince's instructions and did not enter the Royal Capital for the time being... Until yesterday, someone After he was given the news that the time had come, he pretended to be in a hurry and rushed over to recite the good news he had prepared in advance. There was no fear of deceiving the emperor in his words and deeds.
Southern Xinjiang is now under the absolute control of the Crown Prince. To be disrespectful, the Crown Prince knows whatever he wants the emperor to know.
"Okay! Okay!"
The emperor was overjoyed and said hello repeatedly.
In recent days, he had been confused and exhausted because of this fraud case. Finally, there was good news that cheered him up.
But then, the emperor frowned slightly hesitantly.
Xiao Yi had just made great achievements. If he imprisoned Nangong Qin at this time, wouldn't it be a disgrace to Xiao Yi and also chill his heart? !
The emperor squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, waved to Eunuch Liu, and then whispered instructions to Nangong Qin to stay at home and not go out for the time being.
Eunuch Liu hurried away, while Zhu Yushi below was wondering what the emperor had said. He heard the emperor loudly ordering to a young eunuch: "Pass on my decree, order Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment to be thorough." Investigate this case!"
The little chamberlain quickly agreed, but Zhu Yushi's heart sank to the bottom, but the emperor's arrangement made it hard to fault. The emperor was not appeasing Nangong Qin, but ordered a strict investigation. What could he say to object? ! The development of the situation seems to have deviated from the expectations of the two princes...
Immediately afterwards, the emperor continued to order: "Here comes Xuan Kui Lang to see you!"
What happened in the Imperial Study Room quickly reached the ears of Han Lingfu and Han Lingguan. Both brothers were in disbelief. Why was the Nangong family so lucky? ! It's as if there is an unknown powerful force protecting the Nangong family!
On this day, the sound of "ringing bells and banging" came from the study rooms of the two princes. The slaves were silent, knowing that the study room was about to be completely renovated.
When Han Lingfu learned that Kui Lang was admitted to the palace by the emperor, his expression became even more gloomy.
