Chapter 73: Seeking Change

"Mother!" Shen Zhongqing frowned.

"Qing'er isn't young anymore. You don't even have a son now. If it takes another two years, do you really want to give birth to a eldest son and cause a family separation in the future?" The old lady's voice suddenly paused, and then she said decisively. , "It's okay if we don't get along. You make her promise that if she can give you a son within a year, I will let her enter the general's mansion!" The wrinkled old eyes sparkled, and the old lady was secretly excited about her quick wit. .

Give birth to a son within a year?

How could it be possible with Zhen Shiniang’s body and bones!

Seeing his mother making things difficult for him so openly, Shen Zhongqing's face turned from white to red, then purple, and he was speechless.

The old lady's tone softened, "...it's not that I can't tolerate it. When I think of the things she did to me, I feel angry in my heart. A dog can't change from eating shit. It's useless for you to keep saying that she has changed. Look at her. My aunt is still so domineering, nothing has changed!" He sighed, "Qing'er must not be fooled by her soft words." His eyes flickered, and he discussed again, "As long as we agree to divorce, I won't stop Qing'er from carrying Aunt Chu." It's important to convince his son to agree first. As for who to marry after the divorce, parents have ordered matchmakers since ancient times, so it's not up to him!

The five aunts in the mansion were all brought in by themselves. She was thinking in her mind. When she saw Shen Zhongqing looking over, the old lady lowered her head guiltily.

Lift Aunt Chu?

Somehow, Mingming had been thinking about how he could convince his mother to agree to straighten Chu Xinyi after he was divorced, but now that he heard his mother agreed with his own ears, he felt no joy in his heart.

There is a voice in my heart that keeps asking myself, "...is she suitable to be a wife?"

Husband and wife should support each other for a lifetime!

After being wasted by Zhen Shiniang for so many years, the only thing that made him understand was that to marry a wife, one must be virtuous. So what if he wasted two more years? Even if he didn't get married in this life, he would never give in.

After all, he is no longer the ignorant and reckless boy he once was. Shen Zhongqing shook his head subconsciously.

"Qing'er!"

Seeing him shaking his head, the old lady's voice suddenly became sharp.

"Mother..." Shen Zhongqing tried his best to suppress his impetuous mood, "I have always been a man of seven feet."

They were both young at one time. It is not her fault that this marriage has come to this day. After all, it is a husband and wife. Not to mention that she is helpless and an orphan. Even if she has a father and a mother to rely on, he will not Abandon her when her life is in danger!

"You..." The old lady's fingers trembled slightly and she pointed at Shen Zhongqing and was speechless.

During the stalemate, Biyue knocked on the door and came in, "...Eunuch Fu is here."

"Mom is tired, let's rest first." Shen Zhongqing took advantage of the opportunity to stand up and turned around as he approached the door. "Mother, don't worry about this matter. I have made up my mind." His tone was gentle but unquestionable.

"It's reversed. It's all reversed!" The old lady's lips trembled angrily.

My son is no longer his own when he grows up!

As soon as this thought flashed through her mind, the old lady hated Zhen Shiniang even more.

She gritted her teeth hard. If this bitch is not kicked out of the Shen family today, she will take this bitch's last name!

Chu Xinyi was sitting in front of the bronze mirror drawing her eyebrows.

The thin Emei eyebrows are like willow leaves in early spring, and the dark eyebrow pencil is slightly raised at the ends of the eyes. The beauty in the bronze mirror immediately looks more coquettish...

Chunlan opened the door and came in.

"Has the old lady convinced the general?" Chu Xinyi asked in a slow voice, carefully looking at each stroke.

Chunlan shook her head, "Bi Yue said that the general had a tough tone and firmly disagreed with the divorce."

Chu Xinyi suddenly stopped writing. "He actually disobeyed the old lady?"

Shen Zhongqing was extremely filial, something that had never happened before.

Then she remembered that he had disobeyed the old lady for Zhen Shiniang. Chu Xinyi's face turned pale, and she threw her eyebrow pencil on the table.

Chunlan trembled and said, "I haven't eaten Xing's dinner. The other aunts have gone over. My aunt also went over to persuade me?"

"Persuade?" Chu Xinyi said in a sharp and mean tone, "What to persuade?" She glared at Chunlan, "Persuade the old lady to agree with the general and keep that bitch!?"

Then wouldn’t she have to be a child for the rest of her life?

Chunlan was too frightened to speak.

"Go, prepare the carriage." Chu Xinyi stood up.

"It's so late, where are you going?"

"Go back to your parents' house!"

A hint of gloom flashed in Chu Xinyi's eyes.

The slogans were shouted out. If she didn't leave, she would be looked down upon by him.

Shen Zhongqing would never know how important she, Chu Xinyi, was to the General's Mansion if she didn't make the General's Mansion go crazy this time!



In the Anqing Hou Mansion, the small meeting hall was shrouded in a layer of gloom.

"...It's been two days, and there's still no result on the case." As he was pacing back and forth on the ground, Anqing Marquis Xue Yi suddenly stopped, "When did the efficiency of Shenxing Division become so low? How many of them have heads that are worth killing!"

"Long live this move is called knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger..." counselor Gao Mingyu said in a long voice, pretending to be profound, "Both the queen and Concubine Zheng were banned. Long live stayed in Guanju Palace despite the objections of the courtiers. He is doing it for everyone to see. , tell everyone that he attaches great importance to this matter, so as to force the Queen to compromise, and you will do it if I force you to!"

"Then tell me, what does he want?" An Qinghou looked at Gao Mingyu sternly.

"Forcing you to agree to the marriage of the Sixth Princess." Gao Mingyu said word by word, "The new year is approaching, but the marriage of the Sixth Princess has not been discussed for a long time. Long live has become anxious..." He looked at Anqing Hou, "If you still If you don't agree, the queen will be labeled as a jealous woman who murders the royal family's flesh and blood, and she will be demoted to a concubine at the least, or relegated to the cold palace at the worst."

"He dares!" Anqing Hou raised his eyebrows.

"Long live him, what's wrong with him?" Gao Mingyu said in an aggressive tone.

No matter how powerful Anqing Hou is, after all, he is not long live.

It has always been the case that those who want to murder the Tian family's relatives must be punished by Ling Chi. Gao Mingyu considered that the power of the Anqing Marquis was overwhelming, and he did not dare to punish the Queen Chi, so he said that he would be demoted as a concubine.

Once the queen is demoted to concubine, the Xue family's power will be eroded bit by bit.

"... He was indecisive, weak and incompetent when he married his direct princess. There has never been such a useless master since ancient times!" Marquis Anqing slammed his fist on the table, "It's really a disgrace to our ancestors!"

"What's the use of protecting such a monarch!" Zhang Sheng, the counselor, slapped the table and stood up, "Why don't the Marquis lead his troops into the Forbidden City, kill Long Live and help the eldest prince ascend the throne!"

The meeting hall suddenly fell silent, and you could hear a needle drop.

The eldest prince was born to the empress, so he was a direct descendant and the eldest son. Logically, he should have been established as a crown prince. However, because the emperor preferred the fifth prince, he had been delayed in establishing a crown prince.

The Marquis of Anqing was extremely dissatisfied with this, and became increasingly deviant and rebellious.

"How dare you say such treacherous words!" An Qinghou felt agitated in his heart. He saw everyone looking at him from the corner of his eye and immediately became serious.

Hearing that he was already active, Gao Mingyu took the opportunity to persuade him, "...Brother Zhang is right. As the saying goes, good birds choose trees to roost, and good ministers choose their masters to do their work. It's okay not to protect such a fatuous and incompetent monarch."

Zhang Sheng took the opportunity to confuse him and said, "Master Hou, let's take a look at it. Who in the civil and military forces in the entire dynasty does not follow your lead? Even if there are a few people who are not aware of the problem, they will not be able to shake the overall situation!"

"That's it..." Jiumen Admiral Gu Fan stood up and said, "When Duan continues to be disturbed, please send a message, Lord Marquis, and your subordinates will lead the guards of the Admiral's Mansion to fight for you and keep the captured man. Long live the old man to force him to hand over the jade seal and write an edict to abdicate the throne!"

Gu Fan's sister Gu Yu was the concubine of the Marquis of Anqing and was very favored. Gu Fan was unswervingly loyal to Anqing.

"The few soldiers you have..." Anqing Hou shook his head disdainfully, "it's not enough for Shen Zhongqing to stew with a spoonful!"

"He has to be good enough!" Gu Fan said.

"Fenggu camp is less than forty miles away from Shangjing. With just a piece of imperial edict from Long Live, Shen Zhongqing's 300,000 troops can approach the Forbidden City in an hour..." Zhang Sheng sneered and looked at Gu Yu aggressively, "As long as The Imperial Guards in the Forbidden City can hold out for an hour, what are you going to do against Shen Zhongqing?!"



"It's so late, why is Yi'er back?" Chu Sheng was surprised when he saw the maid bringing Chu Xinyi in.

Chu Xinyi burst into tears, "My daughter is not going back."

"What's wrong?" Mrs. Chu was startled, "General Shen bullied you."

Chu Xinyi pursed her lips tightly.

Chunhong told Shen Zhongqing that she disagreed with the divorce.

"Has he already noticed Anqing Hou's conspiracy?" Chu Sheng looked at Chu Xinyi.

"He spends time in Fenggu Camp every day and has deep trust in the old lady. How could he find out about this?" Chu Xinyi said, "He must have been deceived by that little goblin Magpie!" She told Magpie she was pregnant. , "...My daughter has already told him that it is up to him to decide whether there is me or Zhen Shiniang in the General's Mansion, whether she or I is there." She shook Mrs. Chu's sleeves and looked at Chu Sheng, "...daughter This time I really want to stay at home for a while."

"Nonsense!" Chu Sheng's face darkened.

"Sister!" Chu Xin, who had been sitting peacefully, jumped up with a cry.

Chu Xinyi's expression froze, and then she started to cry, "...Does the father want his daughter to be a child all her life, and let that bitch ride on her head?" She said reluctantly, "It was the father who insisted on his daughter in the first place. The man who married him said that he would definitely get her daughter back on track in the future, but what happens now? You just let him get her daughter back on track!"

"Sister..." Chu Xinyang pulled Chu Xinyi.

"Shut up!" Chu Xinyi glared at him hard, "If you hadn't caused trouble in the world, the general wouldn't be so unkind to me, raising a bastard outside!" Chu Xinyang slapped Shen Zhongqing. When people were beaten to death outside with a banner, Shen Zhongqing didn't go to her house for more than a month.

"...What happened if I got into trouble? It's none of his business! My surname is Chu and his surname is Zhong, why should he care about me?" He was a man who was fearless, but when Chu Xinyi yelled at him, Chu Xinyang was shocked. His face suddenly changed, "Don't think that being a general means something. If his name is valid, how could I be sued to the capital?" He yelled at the top of his voice, "Brother-in-law is sued to the government. If he has the ability, he can Let the government beat the complainer to death and withdraw the complaint, why are you still asking people to arrest me and confront me!"

Chu Xinyi reached out and grabbed him, "What trouble did you get into again!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
