Chapter 353 Are You Deserving of Fighting With Her?
As soon as Xiao Chengye finished complaining about the hardships of being a father, the eunuch outside sent word that Yun Cheng, the imperial censor, wanted to see him.
When Xiao Chengye heard this, he frowned, glanced at Gao Cheng, and said, "Look, I'm right, right? This Yun Cheng, I'm sure he's here to join the Third Brother."
Gao Cheng: "..."
Xiao Chengye sneered: "Yun Cheng is the fourth child's dog. As soon as the fourth child had a conflict with the third child, he came out to call him. This family is really of the same mind."
After finishing his words, he said coldly: "Go, let him come in."
Not long after, Yun Cheng came in.
As expected, he opened his mouth to take advantage of the third prince's lawlessness and privately mobilized the black-armored army to the capital, asking the emperor to punish the third prince and give everyone an explanation.
Gao Cheng stood behind Xiao Chengye, looked at Yun Cheng, and thought coldly in his heart: I'm afraid this Yun Cheng's journey has come to an end.
Xiao Chengye just sat in his seat and listened, his face expressionless. After Yun Cheng finished speaking, he slowly said: "You said that he is lawless, treasonous, and secretly mobilized troops. Is he the one who should be punished?"
Yun Cheng heard the indifference in Xiao Chengye's tone and felt a little uneasy.
However, as the censor, he has the power to impeach hundreds of officials, and he often does this. His Majesty takes the overall situation into consideration and will never conflict with officials.
Thinking of this, Yun Cheng became bolder and said loudly: "Yes."
Xiao Chengye's eyes suddenly turned cold, but he didn't get angry, he just sighed longly.
"It is said that it is the fault of a son not to teach his father. The third child was born and raised among the people, and I lacked discipline for him, which is why he grew up to be what he is today. After careful calculation, all of this is my fault."
When Xiao Chengye said this, Yun Cheng had already knelt down with a plop.
Xiao Chengye continued: "My son has done something wrong, and I, as the father, should also be responsible. You said that the third child should be punished, then what crime should I be sentenced to?"
The sweat on Yun Cheng's forehead fell heavily, and his eyesight turned black. No matter how stupid he was, he knew that he had kicked the iron plate this time.
Who in the world dares to convict the emperor?
Yun Cheng said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen, Wei Chen didn't mean that."
Xiao Chengye said in a deep voice: "Then what do you mean?"
Yun Cheng: "..."
The Qinzheng Hall was filled with solemnity, and Yun Cheng was so stunned that he couldn't say a word.
——
Yun Cheng was sweating wildly in the Qinzheng Palace. At the palace gate, his daughter was not doing much better.
Xiao Yao held Yun Ruhui's wrist tightly and almost dragged her to the carriage with rough movements.
Yun Ruhui struggled with red eyes: "I won't go. I won't go to the palace to apologize to Qin Zhen. It's absolutely impossible for me to behave like a dog in front of her."
"This is your fault. I've already taken the blame for you and done everything I can. Why are you still refusing to let me go?"
Xiao Yao's face also looked very ugly.
He pinched Yun Ruhui's wrist and said sternly: "Like a dog? Are you talking about me?"
"You are my wife. I have admitted in front of my father that you are the instigator. Can you not be here when I apologize? Stop making trouble and come with me."
Yun Ruhui shook her head vigorously: "I won't go, I won't go! I definitely don't want to be humble in front of Qin Zhen. I can't let her see my jokes."
When she first got married to Xiao Yao, she was very concerned about Qin Zhen's affairs.
Because at the beginning, the person Xiao Yao wanted to marry was not her, but Qin Zhen.
The daughter-in-law the queen wanted before she died was not her, but Qin Zhen.
Everyone knew that she, Yun Ruhui, was Qin Zhen's second best, and it was Qin Zhen who didn't want her, so it was her turn.
For so many years, she has always avoided confronting Qin Zhen.
In front of Qin Zhen, she seemed to be born shorter.
Xiao Yao lost his patience because of her troubles, raised his hand and slapped Yun Ruhui on the face, and said sternly: "Stop making trouble! If you don't want to be divorced, just be obedient."
Yun Ruhui: "...You, you want to divorce me?"
Xiao Yao said coldly: "I don't mind if you continue to make trouble."
Yun Ruhui fell silent, and her heart suddenly became filled with despair.
In this era, women who are divorced have a shame that will never be washed away in this life.
What's more, it's in the royal family.
Who dares to marry a woman abandoned by a prince?
Yun Ruhui's hands were trembling, and after a while she said, "Okay, I, I'll let you go."
Xiao Yao: "Can't you just be obedient and be obedient?"
After that, he led the people into the carriage and walked all the way towards the palace.
Xiao Yao glanced at Yun Ruhui, who had his head lowered, and said lightly: "When you meet someone later, put down your airs and don't always think about going toe-to-toe with Qin Zhen. You will be shorter in front of her."
It’s not shameful. Which woman in the capital is not a head shorter than her? Even those princesses have to give in politely when they see her. Do you think you are nobler than the princess?"
"She didn't get along with the fifth princess at the beginning, and she had a fierce fight with the fifth princess in front of the father. Do you think the father blamed her?"
"So, don't always be in trouble with her."
After Xiao Yao finished speaking, he closed his eyes and leaned against the wall of the carriage.
Yun Ruhui lowered her head, her eyes so red that they were about to bleed.
Her husband, on the surface, sounded like he was comforting and enlightening her, but in fact he was belittling her every word.
Said that she was not as good as Qin Zhen, said that she was not qualified to shout in front of Qin Zhen, and asked her not to be arrogant in front of Qin Zhen and make Qin Zhen angry...
Yun Ruhui was thinking, if Xiao Yao married Qin Zhen, he would probably put her in the palm of his hand and pamper her, right?
He and Qin Zhen got along well from the beginning, drinking together, watching the scenery, and visiting brothels... Unfortunately, Qin Zhen just didn't like him.
Yun Ruhui's mind was in a mess. When she arrived at the gate of the palace, she reluctantly put away those thoughts and followed Xiao Yao out of the carriage.
This time, the black-armored army at the door did not stop them, and Yuan Chu did not sit at the door with his golden sword.
When they entered the front yard, they saw Yuan Chu and Murong Yan staying together, with their heads leaning against each other and whispering in low voices.
Hearing the commotion, Yuan Chu raised his head, glanced here, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, Fourth Highness, we meet again."
Xiao Yao glanced at him steadily and said coldly: "Major General Yuan Chu is a good watchdog."
Yuan Chu smiled: "Thank you for the compliment."
Xiao Yao didn't look at him and walked straight in.
When they left, Murong Yan on the side frowned and said, "Are you so rude to him?"
"He has already broken up with the prince, so why should I be polite to him?" Yuan Chu said nonchalantly, "Who doesn't know that I am the prince's confidant? It's useless for me to avoid suspicion now. I might as well just follow my own heart.
Come."
When Murong Yan heard this, she felt it made sense and said, "Then I don't have to be polite to the fourth prince and others in the future. After all, everyone knows that I am from the prince's family."
Yuan Chu glanced at her, hesitated, and said in a low voice: "I'm afraid you won't be from my Yuan family in the future."
