Prince Guo never expected that he could easily avoid the bloody purge in the battle for the inheritance of his son, but he would be implicated by his son and stumbled into a small river embezzlement case.

Princess Guojun was even more angry. Her son's future was so affected by a woman. She lost her job and emptied most of the family property of Prince Guojun's palace. What else would such a daughter-in-law do? After all, her natal family already had a lot of money.

If you lose, it's better to give up and end it once and for all, so as not to still be hanging around in front of you.

I discussed with Prince Guo that this Zeng family has violated the rule of seven outings and should retire.

Prince Guo didn't want such a daughter-in-law, but as a grown man, he couldn't interfere too much in the affairs of the back house. Besides, it would be disgraceful to divorce a daughter-in-law if the in-laws failed, and it would be disgraceful to spread the word.

But she felt really dissatisfied, so she asked Princess Guojun to discuss the matter with Mrs. Xue. Mrs. Zeng must be punished. The specific method of punishment depends on Mrs. Xue's wishes.

After all these things, Prince Guo felt that Mrs. Xue had the right vision. At first, Mrs. Xue was not in favor of the prince marrying a daughter of the Zeng family, saying that Prince Guo’s family was already high enough and there was no need to marry someone too prominent.

In-laws and families that are too prominent are too complicated, and girls from such families are more thoughtful.

At that time, Mrs. Xue briefly mentioned a few families, all of which were ordinary families. After getting married, they would not be able to help the Guojun Prince's Mansion at all, and they might still need help from the Guojun Prince's Mansion from time to time.

Princess Guojun naturally refused. Although she did not dare to go against her mother-in-law's wishes too much, she vaguely chose the Zeng family. She said that the Zeng family were very pure and kind, which was in line with what Mrs. Xue said. The Zeng family was better than Guojun family.

The royal family's family status is also much lower, and it can be considered a low-class family.

Mrs. Xue said at that time that she was getting old and her energy was running low. If her daughter-in-law was really sure that she was a pure and kind girl, she would decide for the heir apparent according to the wishes of the princess.

Prince Guo was not unaware of some of the overt and covert fights between Mrs. Xue and Princess Guojun. Generally speaking, Princess Guojun was not filial enough, but after all, Mrs. Xue was not his biological mother, so he also

I respect Mrs. Xue, but I have some reservations about this respect.

Anyway, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are not getting along well, but that mansion does not. Compared with other families, Guojun Prince's Mansion is considered a good one. At least on the surface, the couple respects Mrs. Xue very much.

Thinking about it now, Mrs. Xue still had the foresight. If she had not married the Zeng family and married a girl from a modest family, it would not be like this now. The troubles that a low-income family can get into are limited, and they are the only ones who are great.

The whole family was convicted. But he was only laughed at a few times in the Guo County Prince's Palace, and he would not be involved in a major case that everyone was avoiding like he is now.

The more King Guojun thought about it, the more he felt that this was all caused by Princess Guojun’s misunderstanding of the Zeng family. He thought about the few companies that Old Dowager Xue mentioned casually. They seemed to be in decline, but they were still in the same level. They did not suddenly rise, but they also

He did not continue to decline to the point where he had to be taken care of by the Prince of Guo County all day long.

Both the couple were dissatisfied with Mrs. Zeng, but slowly, their minds changed. Prince Guo instead secretly complained that Princess Guo didn't listen to Mrs. Xue and married such a trouble for the prince, and Prince Guo

The princess complained that Zeng was cunning. She was obviously a fox but pretended to be like a sheep, which deceived everyone and made her take it lightly, causing such great trouble to the Prince of Guo County.

"Your Majesty, instead of letting Zeng recuperate in the palace, why not let her go back to her hometown to recuperate? It's quieter." Princess Guojun became angrier as she thought about it, and finally brought it up to Prince Guo. This matter had already happened before the Zeng family had been convicted.

, she mentioned it. At that time, she said that in order to clear up the relationship, or divorce the Zeng family, she would make a clean break with the Zeng family, but Prince Guo and Mrs. Xue objected in unison.

Mrs. Xue's reason is very simple. The punishments imposed by the court will not harm the married woman. How can they be one step ahead of the court? This does not further indicate that the Guojun Prince's Palace is involved in this matter. It is tantamount to not bringing it upon themselves.

Princess Guojun had nothing to say, but now that everything had been decided, it seemed a bit cold to divorce her immediately, but it was really annoying to keep her.

"Wouldn't it be better to just divorce her?" Prince Guo sneered, "What can I do with such a daughter-in-law? After divorce, I can marry the prince a dignified and virtuous man."

Princess Guo didn't hear the unkindness in Prince Guo's tone for a moment. She only heard Prince Guo say that it was time to divorce Zeng. Her eyes lit up immediately. She was about to say something in agreement when she looked up and saw that Prince Guo's face turned dark.

, suddenly felt something bad, and quickly changed the subject: "Your Majesty, after all, this concubine is the wife of the crown prince Ming Yuan. I'm afraid it won't be good to divorce her at this time, so I'd better talk slowly to avoid outsiders making irresponsible remarks."

"You also care about people's opinions?" Prince Guo said with a dark face, "You should also know what is going on in our Prince's Palace now. You should be more restrained in doing things. The prince is young and ignorant. He should teach carefully instead of making mistakes.

All day long I have been thinking about divorcing the crown prince and marrying a good one for him. There are so many virtuous and virtuous girls in the streets for you to choose at will? Don’t you even look at what the Guojun Prince’s Palace looks like now? What are you doing?

They are planning to find good concubines for the prince, and they are also sending beautiful maids to the prince. Which good girl is willing to marry in?"

When Prince Guo made such a sarcastic statement, Princess Guo's face turned pale, and she still defended herself: "I had thought about taking concubines before. After all, the Crown Princess was not able to conceive after being married for so long... As for Yan'er, Cui'er,

It is purely to take care of the prince’s food and daily life, and has no other meaning.”

"You know it yourself if you have any other meaning." Prince Guo sneered again, "If you say you can take care of people, wouldn't an older grandma be better at taking care of you? You just want to send a beautiful maid as a gift, don't you think so?

What do you mean? Who believes it? If you say that I also find two beautiful maids to serve me, and that there is nothing else, do you believe it?"

Princess Guojun's eyes suddenly turned red, and she choked with sobs: "My lord, what do you mean by this? What did I do wrong?"

Seeing his wife's aggrieved look, King Guo became upset and his tone became even worse, "You still don't know what you did wrong? I tell you, you did a lot of wrong things. From the beginning, you

You shouldn't make your own decisions. Marrying a cunning daughter-in-law like Zeng for the crown prince has brought trouble to the entire county and prince's palace. Don't say you made a mistake. The old concubine said back then that she wanted the crown prince to marry a girl from a lower family. Don't you?

Listen, I still married the Zeng family. What did you say at the beginning? The Zeng family has a pure family tradition, and the Zeng family is gentle and kind. You saw it as true. Now everyone sees it as true. This is a person with an impure temperament. You

If you don’t have that vision, you shouldn’t make your own decisions.”

Princess Guojun felt even more aggrieved. It was not her alone who made the decision to marry Zeng. Although it was inconvenient for men to marry their daughter-in-law, Princess Guojun also said that the Zeng family was a good family. Even Mrs. Xue did not object.

, if something happened, it was all her fault, and she really felt aggrieved.

When King Guo was angry, she did not dare to talk back, and only said: "Old Concubine Xue also asked Mr. Zeng to get engaged to a girl from the Meng family, saying that this way the Meng family could help the prince. As a result..."

"Are you still quibbling?" Prince Guo slammed the table, "What's wrong with the old concubine's idea? It's great if the Meng family can help, but if you can't help, it's not your son who marries a village girl from the Meng family. You have

What kind of loss? You are talking about this matter. You really don’t know anything wrong. In addition, look at the Meng family. The Zeng family has committed such a big thing. The Meng family has not said that it will divorce the Zeng family. You can’t learn from it.

People?"

That's because the person who married the prisoner's son was not Mrs. Meng's daughter. Princess Guo just muttered these words in her heart, but didn't dare to say them out. When Prince Guo was angry, talking back would only make Prince Guo even more angry. In the end,

She was the one who suffered the loss. She could only lower her head and say: "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong."

"What's the use of saying you know you're wrong?" Prince Guo was still very angry and directly ordered, "In the future, you have to make decisions about small things in the house. For big things, you have to ask the old concubine. If the old concubine disapproves, don't do anything about it."

Make your own decision, otherwise if something happens, I will definitely not be able to spare you. For the sake of the prince’s face, I will not divorce you, but it is still okay to let you go back to your hometown to recuperate with the prince’s concubine.”

Princess Guojun was immediately frightened. She knew that Prince Guo was just a person who was not angry. Whatever she said when she was angry, she would definitely do it and it should not be regarded as her temporary angry words.

Seeing that Princess Guojun's status in the palace has plummeted, some of them were so nimble that they rushed to flatter Mrs. Xue, hoping to take advantage of the opportunity. The quarrel between Prince Guo and his wife could not be hidden from anyone, and Prince Guo did not take any step forward.

Door, this matter has already spread to Mrs. Xue's yard.

Mama You relayed the matter to Old Concubine Xue and said with a relieved look, "The princess is so shameless this time. Let's see if she dares to be disrespectful to the old concubine in the future."

Mrs. Xue twirled the Buddhist beads in her hand and said calmly: "The princess did not disrespect me. She has done a good enough job. People are not dogs. It is impossible for them to wag their tails and beg for mercy when they see others."

"But the princess of the county did those things behind her back before, and she even encouraged the Li family to marry the Meng family..." You's mother's voice became softer. She thought that if Mrs. Xue wanted to be magnanimous, she would naturally not be as knowledgeable as Princess Guo.

I didn't dare to say any more.

"That's because Mrs. Li has the desire to climb the dragon and the phoenix, and the princess wants to take the opportunity to push her. If she doesn't have that intention, who can force her?" At this time, Mrs. Xue said to the princess.

Mother You once again admired Mrs. Xue's broad-mindedness, that's how repaying evil with kindness is like this.

Unexpectedly, Old Concubine Xue said: "What does the princess have to do with me? Why should you respect me? Do you obey me in everything? Most mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law in the world are enemies. They really respect their mother-in-law and treat her as their own mother."

How many of them are there? These very few are not allowed to me because I didn’t accumulate enough blessings in my previous life and I can’t blame others.”

"Yes." You's mother didn't dare to say too much, but she couldn't help it, and said: "According to the gatekeeper, she heard what the county prince said about getting married to a village girl from the Meng family, and she seemed to be complaining about the old concubine.

...Slave...Slave, I feel it’s not worth it for the old lady.”

"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if your mouth is on someone else's body, so what if you say a few words." Old Concubine Xue didn't care at all.

Mother You really didn’t dare to speak this time.

Mrs. Xue looked at her for a long time, then suddenly smiled and said: "Do you really think that I have a Bodhisattva heart and don't care about anything?"

"Old concubine, you are well known for your magnanimity. It is their blessing that you don't care about the younger generation." Mama You said sincerely.

Old Concubine Xue shook her head and asked: "You just kept talking about the princess's problem, why didn't you mention the prince?"

"Isn't the county prince always speaking for you, the old concubine?" You's mother recalled the narrative just now. There seemed to be no mistakes or omissions, and there was a look of confusion in her eyes.

Old Concubine Xue sighed: "The prince speaks for me, but at this moment, you don't want to think about it. I didn't agree with getting married to the Zeng family at the beginning. Although I didn't object fiercely, the prince definitely knew it. After that,

It’s impossible that the county prince didn’t know about the princess’s various activities, such as instigating the Li family to get married to the Meng family. He didn’t say anything at the time, and now he blames the princess when something goes wrong. What do you think of this behavior?”

Mother You thought about it carefully, and suddenly it became clear. Compared to the princess, Prince Guo's behavior seems to be more disgusting. If he doesn't show up in everything, he will take advantage of it. If anything goes wrong, he will be pushed aside.

When a woman comes out, it is really more worthy of people's irritation, but... there are some things she dare not say out loud.

Old Concubine Xue spoke up for her, "It's not good for me to have a falling out with Prince Guo. But it's different for Princess Guo. To suppress Princess Princess's arrogance, I will naturally be the one to speak out in the mansion."

Forget it, so you subconsciously put the blame on the princess and ignored the fault of the princess."

"I know I was wrong." You's mother sincerely admitted her mistake.

Old Concubine Xue said: "You don't even think about it. If you really want to be dissatisfied with the Princess of the County and make a fuss, I may have the upper hand for a while, but after all, the Princess of the County is the biological mother of the Crown Prince, and it is impossible to really divorce her.

Losing my face, if it goes on for a long time, what good will it do to me? It will only make the entire county palace more chaotic, and everyone will have a bad life. After all, the county princess is just making some own decisions, and there is no disrespect to me, at least clearly

It’s not on the surface.”

"Yes, the old concubine is right, but there is still something unclear about this slave." Mother You glanced at the old concubine Xue's face, gritted her teeth and said, "Since you don't care about these things, why do you look so worried these days?

?I haven’t seen you, old concubine, looking so distressed for a long time."

"It's nothing. As we get older, our moods become a bit inexplicable. Besides, there are so many things happening in the Prince's Mansion, can I still be happy?" Mrs. Xue said lightly.

There are some things that even your closest servants cannot say.

She couldn't tell Mama You that the many things that had happened in Yancheng recently, one after another, seemed to be accidental, but she sensed a hint of conspiracy. It seemed that a net was slowly being closed, and it was no longer possible.

The one who casts the net knows what he wants to catch in the end. I hope it is not all big fish and small fish.
