"Probably so." Princess Baozhu had a strange expression, "But isn't this kind of thing very embarrassing? Why do you have to say it in public? After today, everyone knows that Xiao Yunheng was cuckolded, and the Xiao family's face has been completely humiliated.
Already."
"Family scandals should not be made public, but what if there are more serious consequences than spreading family scandals." Lianyue spoke unhurriedly, with a cheerful smile, "Didn't someone just say that Mrs. Xiao is going to propose Li Xue as Xiao Yunheng's first wife today? Let's do that.
How could Xiao Yunheng agree to a woman who is unruly and pregnant with evil children as the head wife? The shame is temporary, but if Li Xue is really allowed to become the head wife, the Xiao family will never be able to hold their head high for the rest of their lives."
The ladies didn't like Lianyue, but they had to agree with what she said.
The emperor's visit to the Xiao family was originally to give Xiao Yuanting face. If Mrs. Xiao wanted to promote Li Xue to be his wife, she would definitely mention it in front of the emperor and ask for his favor.
If Xiao Yunheng didn't tell the truth, he might really let Li Xue become his wife, and he would have to wear a cuckold for the rest of his life.
"But what's strange is that Mrs. Xiao wants to propose Li Xue as her legal wife. Didn't Xiao Yunheng know about it beforehand?"
"Who knows what the Xiao family is thinking?"
"I think this is all the result of Mrs. Xiao's own cleverness." A woman at the table said lightly, "If Xiao Yunheng knew that Li Xue was not a woman, he definitely didn't know it today. In the past, it should have been to give face to his mother and not want to
The matter was so big that maybe I didn't even think about divorcing Li Xue."
However, Mrs. Xiao's preference for Li Xue, her niece, has reached a point where no one can ignore her, and she even wants to take advantage of today's birthday banquet to bring up such a matter.
Not to mention whether Li Xue has any style issues, just the matter of proposing a concubine as a wife should not be mentioned on such an important occasion. Isn't this a slap in the emperor's face?
The emperor hoped that Yun Zishu would return to the Xiao family, but she insisted on asking Li Xue to be his wife. It was really not something in Mrs. Xiao's mind.
The matter discussed by the ladies had nothing to do with Yun Zishu, and she did not stay to watch the fun.
After returning to the princess's residence, she gave Leng Yue instructions: "Pay attention to the Xiao family's movements. I am very interested in the follow-up development."
"yes."
Leng Yue is also very interested in the subsequent development of the Xiao family. It is estimated that everyone who went to the Xiao family to attend the birthday banquet today will be interested.
In the evening, the news came out.
"I heard that the Xiao family actually found a doctor later to prove that Li Xue was pregnant. Xiao Yunheng believed that the child was not his, but Mrs. Xiao thought that her son was crazy and firmly disagreed with him to divorce Li Xue. Later,
The general divorced Mrs. Xiao in anger."
Yun Zishu was surprised: "Mrs. Xiao was also divorced?"
Leng Yue nodded repeatedly: "The matter was too serious. All the colleagues in the court were watching the show. After Xiao Yunheng's temper broke out, he said he wanted to divorce Li Xue, but Mrs. Xiao seemed to have taken the wrong medicine and protected Li Xue to the death.
, accusing Xiao Yunheng of being possessed by evil spirits, and also said that Li Xue was not pregnant at all."
"Xiao Yunheng was furious and ordered a doctor to be called. After checking his pulse, the doctor determined that Li Xue was indeed pregnant and could not deny it. Xiao Yunheng looked so ugly at that time, tsk."
"That's not all. Madam Xiao disagreed with her son to divorce Li Xue. Xiao Yuanting lost control and was furious, so he divorced Madam Xiao directly. So the current situation is that the big Li family and the little Li family were divorced together.
, completely became a laughing stock.”
Yun Zishu was silent. It was rare for a father and his son to write a letter of divorce together since ancient times.
Leng Yue seemed to still have something to say, and clicked her tongue twice: "The drama performed by the Xiao family today was really exciting. None of my subordinates knew that such weird things could happen in a big family."
The key is that no matter how many weird things happen in the aristocratic family's house, most of the time they are kept behind closed doors and not spread to the outside world. After all, family scandals don't want to be publicized, but today the Xiao family stole the show.
The emperor, the prince, the princes and the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty all saw the great drama staged in their family. The Xiao family father and son were so humiliated that they barely had to take off their clothes for others to watch.
"Xiao Yunheng will never forget what happened today."
Leng Yue made tea for Yun Zishu, "By the way, I heard that some ministers looked unhappy at that time. They said that General Xiao was incompetent in running the family and could no longer convince the public. They asked the emperor to remove him from the post of general.
Take back the military power of the Xiao family and choose someone else to take charge of it."
Yun Zishu walked to the flower hall and sat down. Looking at the blooming flowers in the garden, she felt relaxed and could not help but smile.
"What a good show." Yun Zishu held her chin, her voice was calm and lazy, "Sure enough, it was right to let Xiao Yunheng and Li Xue go home. Look, if this smoky scene happened in my palace, how much impact would it have?
Feeling."
Leng Yue smiled and said: "That's not possible, Your Highness is wise."
Si Cang stood aside silently, his eyes falling on Yun Zishu's profile from time to time. Seeing her happiness, his eyes lost a bit of coldness and became a bit warmer.
"The prince is very quiet today." Yun Zishu drank herbal tea, and the image of Yun Chen sitting in the hall without saying a word appeared in front of her eyes, "He is usually the loudest, but today he is much calmer."
"Maybe it's Sister Lianyue's credit." Leng Yue guessed, "Although my subordinates know nothing about Sister Lianyue's methods, she is indeed good at manipulating people's hearts, especially men."
Yun Zishu hummed: "The Xiao family's affairs are not over yet, let's wait and see the show."
Leng Yue was blessed and said, "I will go down and bring some fruits to His Highness."
Yun Zishu didn't say anything, and Leng Yue withdrew.
"Your Highness," Si Cang said calmly, "Do we need Feng Chief Assistant to add fuel to the fire and get rid of the Xiao family completely?"
Yun Zishu was silent for a moment: "Let's just wait and see what happens and see what my father's attitude is before we speak."
"yes."
Sicang stood aside silently, looking into the depths of the garden, his usually stern face looking much calmer.
"Sicang." Yun Zishu suddenly spoke.
Si Cang lowered his eyes: "Your Highness."
"Are you happy?"
Si Cang was slightly startled, his eyes fell on her face, and he nodded slowly: "Yes."
Happy.
"Why?"
"Because His Highness has no relationship with the Xiao family from now on. They are completely cut off." Sicang's tone was low and he did not make any attempt to hide it. "My subordinates think this is very good."
The corners of Yun Zishu's lips raised slightly: "I think this is good too."
"In addition to completely breaking up with the Xiao family, the emperor is also really angry today." Sicang's voice was gentle and soft, "Are you afraid, your highness?"
"There's nothing to be afraid of." Yun Zishu sighed, a little distractedly, "Father will have to deal with the Xiao family's mess, and he shouldn't have time to focus on me for the time being - no matter how angry he is,
It should be mitigated according to the severity.”
When his father has time to deal with her, won't Yun Zishu still be able to think of a way to deal with her?
Besides, Sicang is still here.
Yun Zishu raised her head and glanced at this man who was as strong and loyal as a shadow. She raised her hand and said, "Don't stand all the time. Sit down and have a cup of tea."
Sicang did not refuse, he respectfully agreed and sat down opposite Yun Zishu.
It's not that I want to be out of line, I just like the feeling of sitting and chatting with her, or just sitting like this even if I don't speak.
