The Favoured Medical Princess: 672 Abandonment
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!
"Ayi." Old Mrs. Fang took a sip of tea, and then said, "I immediately sent my trusted aide to call the fourth brother." Old Mrs. Fang was referring to the current patriarch of the Fang family, Mr. Fang Si. "Just say it's a matter of fact." A matter of great importance to the survival of the Fang family..."
"Grandpa, you don't have to go to such trouble." Xiao Yi diligently added tea to the old man and said mysteriously, "If my grandson's expectations are correct, he will come to Luoyue City in person without your invitation."
Mr. Fang was stunned for a moment. After thinking about it carefully, he understood the key, right? Once the divorce letter from King Zhennan is sent, how can the Fang family still sit still!
"Ayi, you little naughty boy!" He shook his index finger at Xiao Yi and smiled.
"Thank you, grandpa, for the compliment." Xiao Yi slapped the snake on the stick, raising the corners of his mouth even higher.
The pavilion echoed with bursts of light laughter.
As Xiao Yi expected, the King of Zhennan couldn't wait to draw a clear line with the little Fang family. As soon as the divorce letter was written, he ordered people to rush to the Fang family to inform him of the divorce, and After notifying the Xiao clan chief, they immediately opened an ancestral hall and removed Xiao Fang's name from the Xiao family tree.
When they learned that King Zhennan was going to divorce his wife, the Xiao family immediately stirred up a huge stir.
Although the emperor's decree to get rid of Xiao Fang's concubine caused some ripples in the Xiao family, in any case, it cannot be compared with divorcing his wife. Since the Xiao family built the ancestral hall, they have not yet opened an ancestral hall for divorcing their wives!
Clan leader Xiao Chen was worried all night and hurriedly called several clan elders over the next morning.
The few people talked in secret for a long time, and they all felt that the divorce should be related to the fact that Xiao Fang had embezzled the prince's two million silver and refused to come out.
Two million taels of silver is indeed not a small amount, but divorcing your wife is not a trivial matter. Everything should be done with the overall situation in mind!
So, a group of people came to Zhennan Palace in a mighty manner.
In the Gui Pu Hall, Xiao Chen said cautiously to King Zhennan who was sitting at the top, "...the niece-in-law did act improperly, but Your Majesty, I am afraid that your divorce will be detrimental to the reputation of the palace, and it will also be detrimental to the reputation of the palace. It will make us, the Xiao family, the laughing stock of others. And there is a saying: 'Seven outs and three don't go out'."
The second rule of "Three Not to Go" is "three years of mourning with Geng". How can we say that Xiao Fang, the step-in-law of King Zhennan, also mourned and observed filial piety for the old prince and the old princess? According to the rules, this is not allowed Abandoned.
The King of Zhennan frowned. Of course he had absolute reasons to divorce Xiao Fang, but the collaboration with the enemy was of great importance and he must not let any news leak. He gritted his teeth and could only remain silent.
Seeing that King Zhennan remained silent, Mr. Xiao Third and Mr. Xiao Six secretly exchanged glances, and then Mr. Xiao spoke out: "Your Majesty, what the eldest brother said is that the nephew-in-law has not committed the crime of seven outings. She is a sin, and there are three reasons for not going away. If the prince divorces her, then our Xiao family will be despised by others! Sixth brother, eighth brother, tenth brother, don’t you think so?"
Several clan elders all echoed a few words with sympathy, worried that when the men of the Xiao family talk about marriage in the future, the girls from other provinces will have scruples because of this matter. Of course the Zhennan Palace has nothing to worry about, but the children in other houses of their Xiao family are all waiting to get married and have children.
It is precisely because I have thought deeply about it that I must divorce my wife! King Zhennan endured it again and again, but he still couldn't help gritting his teeth and said: "Uncle, uncles, you don't need to persuade me anymore. Xiao Fang is unkind, filial and unkind. I must divorce her!"
Xiao Chen wanted to persuade her again, but Mr. Xiao Liu took the lead and said with a somewhat tough attitude: "Although you are the prince, divorcing your wife is a big deal, and you cannot do it arbitrarily."
Old Mrs. Xiao San followed and said: "Yes. Your Majesty. I'll just act like I'm old and say, it's better to let this matter go."
The King of Zhennan frowned irritably. If his father hadn't obtained the fiefdom and become a vassal king, the Xiao family would be just poor peasants. All these years, you have relied on the protection of the palace to live such a wealthy and peaceful life. Now you dare to meddle in his business?
The more the King of Zhennan thought about it, the more annoyed he became. He issued an eviction order in a bad tone, "I am tired, so please come back to my eldest uncle and other uncles. I have already made up my mind to divorce my wife. There is no need for further persuasion. Please do it as soon as possible." Just open an ancestral hall."
Xiao Chen and the other cousins looked at each other in confusion.
Xiao Chen had some understanding of King Zhennan’s temper. When he saw this, he knew that he was really angry. He thought to himself: Maybe he should be allowed to calm down for two days, or perhaps go and persuade the prince? If that doesn't work, let the old wife meet the Crown Princess. The Crown Princess is virtuous and will definitely be willing to take care of the overall situation. With the Crown Princess coming forward, things will be much easier to handle...
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen decided to wait for a while and postpone it for a few days, so he said: "King..."
"Your Majesty!" Mrs. Xiao Liu once again stole Xiao Chen's words and said anxiously, "No, you must not divorce your wife."
As he spoke, he winked at Mr. Xiao San, who hurriedly said: "Sixth brother is right, although you are the dignified King of Zhennan, you are also a descendant of the Xiao family, and you have to think about our Xiao family. If, if you insist on going your own way, for the sake of our Xiao family’s reputation from generation to generation, I will crash to death in Zhennan Prince’s Mansion right now!”
As he said that, Mr. Xiao San stood up suddenly and tried to hit the wall. Mr. Xiao Liu quickly pulled him and shouted exaggeratedly: "...My lord, you are trying to force me to death. Uncle?!"
"What are you doing?!" Xiao Chen was furious and shouted, "Today we are here to persuade the prince, not to cause trouble!"
Several other clan elders even tried to persuade him, and the Gui Pu Hall became a mess.
"Enough!"
The King of Zhennan threw the tea cup out of his hand, and with a loud "Bang!", he blurted out angrily: "Third uncle, who is it that you are seeking death to prevent me from divorcing my wife? , could it be that you and Xiao Fang..."
King Zhennan suddenly stopped his voice. He remembered something.
On that day, one of the two notes handed over by Dr. Xu Liang seemed to read: ...after the spring hunt, Xiao Fang will incite the Xiao family elders to propose to the King of Zhennan to depose the crown prince.
At that time, he only noticed the collusion between Xiao Fang and Baiyue, and ignored the second half of the sentence... Today he wanted to divorce Xiao Fang. Although his eldest uncle and the elders came to persuade him, his third uncle Isn't Uncle Six's actions a bit too exciting? !
You actually want to die as a remonstrance!
Could it be that Xiao Fang's family has some close relationship with them? Or could it be said that it was these two people who colluded with Xiao Fang? !
They actually dare to collaborate with the enemy and treason? !
Zhennan King's pupils shrank sharply, his heart gradually sank, and he felt his chest was tight and painful.
The King of Zhennan took a deep breath, tried to calm down, looked at Mr. Xiao San and Mr. Xiao Liu, and said with his voice almost squeezed out from between his teeth: "Third Uncle, don't threaten with death. This King. Others may not know why this King wants to divorce his wife, but you and Uncle Six should know it well!"
Zhennan King has always respected the clan leader, clan elders and other elders, but this was the first time he spoke to them in such an unkind tone, which made the two of them feel a little scared.
The King of Zhennan looked at them directly, snorted coldly, and said: "Based on what Xiao Fang has done over the years, if it weren't for the fact that she has added a pair of children to the palace, I would have done it long ago. Divorce her!" When King Zhennan thought about Xiao Fang's collaboration with the enemy, he grew more and more resentful. "But who knew that she didn't know how to restrain herself, and she dared to go even worse! There shouldn't be any need for me to say this clearly, third uncle, sixth uncle ?"
Zhennan Wang's every word was full of sarcasm, and Old Mrs. Xiao San and Old Mrs. Xiao Liu broke into a cold sweat behind their backs.
They don’t want to get involved in this troubled water again, but if Xiao Fang is divorced, they may be dragged into the water by breaking the jar, and they will be accused of helping her swallow the prince’s two million taels. silver. Therefore, they had to make King Zhennan give up his decision to divorce his wife no matter what, and reconcile the matter with Xini.
But what does King Zhennan mean by these words? Could it be that Xiao Fang had already recruited them? !
The King of Zhennan has been paying attention to the two of them, but he didn't see the exchange of eyes between them. He became more and more sure of his guess, and said in a cold tone: "I am still thinking, how dare she be so bold as to have such an idea? , Dare she have her Third Uncle and Sixth Uncle supporting her behind this, no wonder she acts so confidently and doesn’t take this king seriously!"
The more King Zhennan talked, the more chilled he became. It was because they were members of the Xiao family that they dared to commit such a heinous crime! He must have thought that even if he knew about their collaboration with the enemy and treason, he would have to help cover it up for the sake of the Xiao family. There is no regard for the life and death of hundreds of people in the Xiao clan!
No wonder the saying goes: A fight of kindness will bring a rise of hatred. The blessings given by the royal family will only make their ambitions grow!
Mrs. Xiao San and Xiao Liu were so frightened that their faces turned pale and bloodless.
The prince indeed knows!
I know they have been helping Xiao Fang for more than ten years!
On the side, Xiao Chen and several other clan elders were all shocked and confused. How could things develop in this direction? They came today to persuade the prince not to divorce his wife lightly, but from these words of the prince, could it be that the matter of divorce is also related to the third and sixth children? !
That’s right!
Xiao Chen couldn't help but think that the huge fortune left by his second brother was given to his third and sixth brothers to take care of. Could it be that the third and sixth brothers helped Xiao Fang embezzle the two million Two silver coins? !
What a sin!
Xiao Chen looked at Mr. Xiao San and Xiao Liu with disappointment.
Old Mrs. Xiao San and Mrs. Xiao Liu were confused for a moment, and they looked at each other reflexively. Seeing this, King Zhennan slammed the table with a sound like thunder, and then raised his voice and said: "Uncle Three, Uncle Six, I am The king will only ask you one more time, tell me, do you know why I divorced my wife?!"
Mr. Xiao San and Mr. Xiao Liu were so frightened that they almost jumped up and felt uneasy. It seemed that they couldn’t hide it this time...
Old Mrs. Xiao San hesitated for a moment, and finally met the angry eyes of King Zhennan, and muttered: "Your Majesty, your sixth uncle and I were also confused for a moment..." Only then were Xiao Fang's sweet words said Moved.
It’s true! King Zhennan felt cold in his heart. His wife and two elders of the Xiao family had collaborated with the enemy and treason. If word spread, who would believe that he and the Xiao family were innocent? !
At this moment, King Zhennan really wanted to kill them.
Seeing that King Zhennan's face was so dark that he was about to drip with tears, Mr. Xiao Liu became more and more frightened and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, we two old men have realized our mistake and should not have helped Xiao Fang occupy what the old prince left to his son. The property. It’s all because of Xiao Fang’s greed. It must be said that Brother Luan is also the grandson of the old prince and should have a share, so we were confused for a moment. Xiao Fang only said that let us encourage you to make the decision and divide the property into two , as for the fact that she secretly embezzled two million taels of silver, we really didn’t know about it..."
What? !
The king of Zhennan was shocked.
It turns out that all those properties were left to Xiao Yi by his father, and Xiao Luan had no share at all! He just said that his father left so much property, but they actually hid it from him one by one. It turned out that there were so many shady secrets in it!
The King of Zhennan slammed the table and said with a stern face: "I still want to hear how many things have you hidden from me?! If you don't speak clearly today, I will treat you as if you have already I hit my head and died in the palace, I will give you a thin coffin later!"
The murderous intent in his words completely frightened Mr. Xiao San and Mr. Xiao Liu. They subconsciously wanted to ask the clan leader for help. Unexpectedly, after hearing these secrets from their own mouths, Xiao Chen's face was full of anger. It was like wanting to tear them alive.
I'm afraid I can't do anything good today.
Old Mrs. Xiao San and Mrs. Xiao Liu were all angry. They collapsed weakly on the ground and told everything in detail.
When it was learned that Xiao Fang had killed the steward of Shen University that his father had left for Xiao Yi in the name of martyrdom, seized this huge property, and took away the orphans left by his father one by one. After the prince came back, he even bribed the two of them, forged his father's last words, and said that both Xiao Yi and Xiao Luan had a share in the property. King Zhennan was already livid.
If the timing hadn't been wrong, he would have wanted to whip Xiao Fang a hundred times!
She really deceived him!
Hmph!
Don’t they think it is shameful to divorce one’s wife? Now, there is a reason for divorce!
The King of Zhennan sneered.
So, with the support of the clan leader Xiao Chen, everything was carried out vigorously and resolutely according to the wishes of King Zhennan.
The Xiao family ancestral hall was officially opened early the next morning, and the Xiao Fang family was removed from the Xiao family tree in the name of divorcing his wife. The head of the Fang family hurried over. He wanted to stop the divorce, but instead he was arguing with Mr. Fang. After a confidential conversation, there was no further movement.
After divorcing his wife, the King of Zhennan ordered Mr. Xiao San, Mr. Xiao Liu and their families to move out of Luoyue City within three days in the name of providing for the elderly.
Other Xiao clan members were even more shocked. They did not expect that after Xiao Fang clan was divorced, King Zhennan would make a big move so quickly. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that there must be inextricable connections between the two events. Contact, and in the future, Xiao's third and sixth bedrooms may never be protected by the Zhennan Palace again. This also means that from now on, they will be ordinary civilians, helpless and without the wealth and glory they had in southern Xinjiang in the past few decades.
Of course Xiao Fang was not willing to be dismissed, and made endless noises in the palace. He even called Xiao Luan and Xiao Fei over, crying and begging for his two children to plead with the King of Zhennan, but refused to say what he had done. It was said that Xiao Yiji hated her and instigated the relationship between her and King Zhennan. He also said that if he was divorced, both of them would be disgraced.
Xiao Fei patiently listened to Xiao Fang's words, but found that her mother was vague and evasive from beginning to end. She knew that she didn't want to hear the truth from her mother, so she took Xiao Luan with her. The king of Zhennan asked for confirmation.
Wang Zhennan originally planned to have as few people know about this matter as possible, but Xiao Luan and Xiao Fei were the biological children of the Xiao Fang family after all. In order to prevent them from being separated from him in the future, he simply gritted his teeth and said Xiao Fang told them about Xiao Fang's collaboration with the enemy and his country, and repeatedly told them not to spread the word...
On this day, Xiao Fei returned to Yuebiju in despair, and stayed alone in the room for a long time...
That night, news came out that Xiao Fei fell ill. Nangong Yue personally went to check her pulse and prescribed a prescription. However, the heart disease still requires a heart medicine doctor. This time, Xiao Fei was really diagnosed by her biological mother. He was severely injured.
After the news of Xiao Fei's illness reached the ears of King Zhennan, he became more determined and accelerated his pace. After dawn the next day, people moved the Xiao Fang family to Luoyue City in a green-covered carriage. In a village outside, they were nominally a couple, and they gave her this village to support her in her old age, but in fact she was kept under strict guard, and "everything" would only wait until Xiao Luan got married...
The King of Zhennan had no intention of hiding his divorce from his wife. In fact, he couldn't wait to let Quan Dayu know about the scandal. Only in this way would it be convenient for him to distance himself from the Xiao Fang family.
So, with the overt and covert promotion of the King of Zhennan, within half a day, the news of King Zhennan’s divorce had already spread in the city. For several days in a row, every mansion, teahouse, and restaurant in the city, In the market... this matter is discussed everywhere and all the time. Everyone in the city knows that Mrs. Xiao Fang is unfilial to her parents-in-law and uses the old prince's last words to seize the prince's property. Now that the truth was revealed, Prince Lei was furious and divorced his wife.
The entire Luoyue City was in an uproar over this, and soon after, the cities in southern Xinjiang also learned of the news one after another within a few days...
In the early morning of this day, the Anfu of Luoyue City welcomed a servant from Xing'an City early in the morning. He was a thin, middle-aged man who seemed to be in a hurry, as if he came from Xing'an City at a high speed.
As soon as the concierge saw that the person was Mr. An's confidant Mao, he immediately welcomed him into the house and sent a woman to lead him to see An Ziang.
At this moment, An Ziang was in the main hall. Mrs. An had just learned something about the Xinrui Camp from her best friend, Mrs. Yan, and was talking excitedly to her husband and son.
An Ziang raised his eyebrows slightly and listened with interest, while An Minrui, who was lowering his head, half-closed his eyes, seemed a little absent-minded and didn't know what he was thinking.
"Master, I heard that this Xinrui camp is a good place. The fourth son of the Yu family and the fifth master of the Chang family are now serving as the hundred generals of the Xinrui camp. They are highly valued by the prince. The latest batch of Hong who were selected into the Xinrui camp are The young masters of Mafu and Mafu also have to be granted military positions, and their future will be bright..."
As she said that, Mrs. An felt a little dissatisfied. If the second son could catch the eye of the Crown Prince during the spring hunt, he would definitely be able to achieve success in the future.
Obviously Brother Rui was the leader of Spring Hunt that day, and Yan Xijun only accidentally shot the two eagles, but the prince shot Yan Xijun!
It's a bit unfair when you think about it.
An Ziang put the tea cup to his lips and put it down again, thinking that he might be able to think of other ways to get his second son into the cutting-edge camp.
Thinking about it, An Ziang looked at An Minrui and saw that he was unconscious, so he asked: "Brother Rui, what's wrong with you?"
Hearing this, An Minrui looked up and saw a shadow under his eyes. It was obvious that he had not slept well last night.
After hesitating for a moment, he said: "Father, mother, I didn't sleep all night last night. I thought about it. Now that Xiao Fang is divorced, how can Miss Xiao be regarded as a legitimate daughter... ..." It would be such a loss for him to marry Xiao Fei now!
An Ziang and Mrs. An looked at each other and sighed inwardly: Brother Rui is young after all. He has thought of the truth, but parents like them have not thought of it. Mrs. An went to Yan Mansion to inquire about the Xinrui Camp, intending to find another way to get in touch with the Crown Prince.
"Brother Rui..."
Just as Madam An was about to say a few words of comfort, a little maid hurried over and said, "Master, Madam, the old master has sent Manager Mao here."
An Ziang and Mrs. An looked at each other with doubts in their hearts. They didn't know what urgent matter Mrs. An had, so they actually sent Mao Guanshi, the chief steward of the An Mansion, to make this trip in person.
After a while, Steward Mao came in a hurry. After bowing to the masters, he respectfully presented a letter sealed with fire paint and said: "My lord, my dearest brother, I have personally sent this letter to you." The letter is handed into the hands of the great master."
