Princess Zhao just shouted fiercely, but she really didn't dare to try.
Now His Majesty is paying courtesy to Prince Zhao's Mansion, but that doesn't mean that Prince Zhao's Mansion can be pampered in front of him. Otherwise, Prince Zhao's Mansion wouldn't have to go so far as to spend his daughter-in-law's dowry to save face.
With Xia Houyuan's words, Xiahou Mei no longer had any worries. She looked around at everyone and said: "Now that it has come to this point, let's quickly prepare pen and ink, write a letter of separation, and everyone will sign it.
Words, just say goodbye!"
Duguhao was also very tired of these messy things in the inner house. Hearing this, he quickly pushed away his younger brother who had been dumbfounded since he entered the door and has never had a normal expression.
Duguxian finally came to his senses and said quickly: "I don't agree! I don't agree to reconcile with Ruolan!"
Xiahou Mei immediately glared over and said with a wary look on his face: "What, is it possible that you also want to divorce your wife?"
She asked this, but she was saying in her heart: You little bastard, I was so blind back then that I wanted to marry my daughter to you. Today, if you dare to say anything bad about my daughter, you are even so shameless that you want to divorce her.
Wife, then I will expose your uneducated, extravagant and lewd scandal, and let everyone in the capital and even the whole world come to see what kind of person you are! Let me see who dares to marry their daughter to you again!
Duguxian's face turned pale, and he quickly raised his hands and said, "Mother-in-law, you misunderstood. My son-in-law just doesn't want to be separated from Ruolan. I hope my mother-in-law will give me another chance for the sake of Xuan'er and Yuan'er!"
Xiahou Mei is a mother herself. She cherishes her daughter and loves her two grandchildren. She cannot bear the thought that taking her daughter away forcefully may lead to the separation of mother and son.
When she married Xu Shangyu, she resisted at every turn. Who would have imagined that she was so dissatisfied, arguing with Xu Shangyu for so many years, and finally gave birth to four children, and for these children, she still lives like
A female warrior, making friends everywhere.
Xiahou Mei then looked at Xu Ruolan, wanting to hear what she meant. If her daughter regretted it, she would have to think of other ways, so that everyone could not be wronged.
Princess Zhao hated Xiahou Mei and her daughter, and was worried that the agreed-upon matter would change again. She immediately pointed at Duguxian and scolded: "You rebellious son! What good can Mrs. Xu do? Without her, mother can find you a better one."
Okay! You hurry up and write a divorce letter! You must kick them out today!"
Duguxian covered his face and cried, murmuring: "What could be better? Ruolan is the best! In these years, if you hadn't been encouraging me to take concubines and have children, you would still let those charming people
People pester me every night, even giving Hua Ruolan a lot of dowry. Can I break her heart? There are also Xuan'er and Yuan'er, they are still so young, it is the time when they need their mother's love.
But you want to separate his father and mother, mother, you are so cruel!"
When Princess Gong heard those inappropriate words, she quickly reached out and covered one ear of each of her two daughters. The sisters of the Zhong family who were listening with interest were stunned, but Princess Gong just covering one of their ears had no effect, and she still
With the other ear, no matter how hard it is, they can still see with their eyes, so Princess Gong's approach is quite deceptive.
Zhong Yuqing did not cover Xia Houshu's ears, but instead let her listen generously, and even thought it would be a good thing to use this as a negative example to warn her - when looking for a husband, you must have sharp ears and eyes!
Princess Zhao looked at Dugu Xian and felt that this son was raised in vain and had no masculinity at all. She was so angry that she vomited blood, pointed at him and scolded him: "You traitor! If you don't agree to take a concubine, I can still kill you."
Are you going to tie me up and send me to the bridal chamber? You're getting an advantage and you're being nice! You're not afraid of people laughing at you if you say it!"
Dugu showed a desperate look and said firmly: "I don't care! I won't divorce my wife, nor will I get divorced! I will stay with Ruolan and raise our children together! If you break us up again, I will...
I will fight you tooth and nail!"
After saying this, he turned to his wife and said: "Ruolan, my wife, don't listen to them. I only have you in my heart, and it has always been you. If you want to blame, blame those coquettish girls, who seduced me every day before letting you."
It breaks my heart. I promise that I will never touch them again! If you don’t believe it, I will ask people to drive them all out now! From now on, I will guard you and the two children, and our family of four will live a good life!"
It was not the first day that Xu Ruolan met Duguxian, and she knew that he was a soft-hearted man with no independent opinions and an empty head. On the one hand, he took concubines because of the oppression of his parents, brother-in-law, and sister; on the other hand, it was also because of the
In front of those concubines who couldn't even write their own names, his shallow knowledge could find some confidence.
But Xu Ruolan was different. Because Xiahou Mei had high demands on their brothers and sisters, she had been reading and practicing calligraphy since she was a child, and could distinguish right from wrong. In front of Dugu Xian, she was gentle, beautiful, considerate, well-educated, and understood the righteousness, making Dugu Xian depend on her.
At the same time, he will have a sense of frustration that his wife is better than him in every way, and this kind of frustration can be remedied by having fun with those concubines. That's why he has been addicted to the gentle land for these years and cannot wake up.
There is a saying that a dragon begets a dragon, and a phoenix begets a phoenix. Xiahou Mei is strong, and the daughter he teaches may not be weak, but it is just that it is difficult to fight due to certain rules and regulations.
Such is the case with Xu Ruolan.
Although Duguxian's words were just casual words when he was in a rage, he must not be a completely brainless person to be able to say those words. Thinking of his two young children, Xu Ruolan softened her heart.
But then I thought about it, Duguxian had more than just two children!
Xu Ruolan asked: "You kicked them all out, what about your two daughters?"
"Daughter..." Dugu Xian muttered, as if he just remembered that he had two daughters. He hesitated slightly, wondering: "They are also innocent. Since they called me father, I can't refuse them."
At worst, I'll let the wet nurse take care of them, and when they grow up, I'll prepare a dowry for them, so that they won't be an eyesore to you!"
"What does it mean to be an eyesore to me?" Xu Ruolan frowned slightly. Who did he think she was?
Although she had not personally taken care of the two concubines since they were born, she had never treated them harshly. So far, her money has been used to feed and clothe them, see doctors when they are sick, and even the wet nurses and maids who serve them.
.She really didn't want to see them, but she couldn't say she hated them, she just had no feelings for them. She would feel upset when she saw them, so she simply ignored them.
Duguxian reacted and apologized repeatedly: "I said the wrong thing, I was confused! I deserve to die!"
Xu Ruolan hesitated a little when she looked at her husband who had returned from a lost place. They were a young couple, and even if they were like this, they had some friendship in the past. If Duguxian could be a white-eyed wolf like his parents, she could do it too
He walked away ruthlessly, but he already felt repentant.
Xia Houyuan didn't want to beat the couple, so he said: "Since the matter cannot be decided today, let's discuss it another day and let the two children calm down and think about it."
No one said anything except Princess Zhao, who still couldn't see the situation clearly. She tried to cut through the mess quickly and said, "What's there to consider?"
King Zhao immediately pulled his wife's sleeve and persuaded him: "Madam, as the saying goes, demolishing ten temples will not ruin a marriage. If you don't think about your son, you have to think about your grandson! Mrs. Xu is gone.
Will you pay for the upbringing of her two children in the future?"
When Princess Zhao heard that she had to pay for her grandson, she immediately calmed down.
Whether it was Prince Zhao's proposal to divorce his wife, or Xia Houyuan's proposal to reconcile, after all, they were decisions made impulsively, and no one could guarantee whether they would regret it in the future.
Xiahou Mei didn't want to force his daughter to make a decision at this time, so he said: "Ruolan, if things get so messed up today, their family will not treat you well. You can come back with me now."
Xu Ruolan immediately thought of her children. The two children had never left her side since they were born. She even had to coax them to sleep at night. What would happen to the children if she left?
Xia Houyuan saw his niece's worries and embarrassment, and said, "Since you are going back to your parents' home for a short stay, it is normal to take your children back to honor your grandfather and grandmother."
Xiahou Mei immediately understood the delaying strategy that his brother had come up with, and praised repeatedly: "Since we can't talk about it today, they can still be husband and wife. Now I miss my two grandsons, so I asked Ruolan to bring them back to me to stay with me for a few days. I'll see.
Who dares to say otherwise?"
Princess Zhao realized that they really wanted to take the child away, and quickly stopped her: "No! You can't take the child away! That is the grandson of our Prince Zhao's family!"
As the saying goes, rare things are valuable, and so are people. There are too many grandchildren in Prince Zhao's house, and Princess Zhao doesn't care about anyone so much. Sometimes when she sees several grandchildren of similar ages playing together, she even gets distracted.
It's unclear who is who. As for Xu Ruolan's two children, they seem to be smart, but she doesn't like Xu Ruolan very much, and she treats the two children very averagely. But she thinks that Xu Ruolan has to take care of the children in this situation.
She was still worried about leaving. Just like the thing in her hand, she could ignore it and put it there, letting it gather dust and dust without feeling too distressed, but if someone else wanted to snatch it, it would become incense.
饽饽. She must protect him.
"What if I have to take him away?" Xu Ruolan couldn't bear it. She was obviously pregnant in ten months and had worked hard to raise the child day and night. She had neither received favor from King Zhao nor Princess Zhao, nor had she spent much money from their Prince Zhao's palace.
, just because she took their surname "Dugu", she didn't even have the right to take her back to her parents' home for a short stay? Why!
Suddenly being retorted by the third daughter-in-law, Princess Zhao was stunned for a moment, thinking how brave you are to yell at me! I must let my son divorce you!
However, what she said was: "If you dare to take her away, I will go to the government to sue you for kidnapping your child!"
Xiahou Mei laughed first and said: "If a woman takes her child back to her parents' home, even if you sue His Majesty, it won't stand. If you want to sue, go ahead and sue!"
Duguxian neither divorced nor reconciled, so Xu Ruolan was still his wife. If they used this to sue Xu Ruolan for abducting the child, it would really be untenable, and Princess Zhao immediately ceased her activities.
Seeing this, Xia Houyuan asked Xu Ruolan to take care of the children first and pack his luggage at the same time.
Just as Princess Zhao was about to stop her, she was stopped by Dugu Xian.
Duguxian persuaded with a sad face: "Ruolan is angry now, mother, please stop adding fuel to the fire. Let her go back to her parents' home for a few days, and when she calms down, she will naturally figure it out. Besides, there are so many things today.
Where else can she hide her child while people are watching?"
Princess Zhao thought it made sense, so she didn't stop her. Moreover, she had more than twenty grandchildren, and two of them were gone, so it had no impact on her. But in front of everyone in the Xu family, she still couldn't help it.
He said harshly: "Today, for Xian'er's sake, I agree that you can take your children back for a short stay. But as long as our Prince Zhao wants to divorce your wife, you must return the children, otherwise I will still go to His Majesty to complain."
I'm suing you for kidnapping!"
Xiahou Mei glanced at Princess Zhao angrily and said contemptuously: "It's already this time, how can you talk so much? You really have a tough mouth!"
