Foster son and husband

Chapter 171
172 Leaving the House
In the Palace of Compassion, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor were beyond shocked when they heard the report from the eunuch Si Li——the first decree sent to the Xu Mansion to allow Weiyuan to wait for Xu Junying to divorce his wife has been taken back, but was forcibly demanded by the King of Qi on the way Go, the eunuch who was in charge of rites refused to hand it over at first, King Qi raised his hand and gave him two slaps, and took away the troublesome decree from his arms three or two times. The six or seven eunuchs who accompanied him didn't react at all. King Qi had already taken his people and ran away without a trace.

Ji Qing then returned to the palace, found the Palace of Compassion and Ning and saw the emperor, the emperor's face was livid, he waved his hand, and drove away from the Palace of Compassion and Ning with the eunuchs and guards.

The Empress Dowager could not sit still, she was put on her shoes by the servants of the maids, watched the emperor leave, and urgently called for Eunuch Tan: "Hurry up, Ai's family is going to the Qi Palace! This villain, enemy! What does he want to do? Ah? What is it?" There is him, and he will not give up until he tosses me to death!"

In the wide corridors of the palace, Ji Qing walked quickly behind the emperor, and at the same time told the emperor in detail what he saw and heard in the Xu Mansion, the emperor frowned when he heard it:
"What the hell is going on here? King Qi and Qin Meiniang——Qin Meimei, one is defending against the enemy at the border, and the other is living deep in the Hou's mansion. They don't know each other! King Qi has only returned to the capital for four or five months. When will you see Qin Meimei? Xu Junying refuses to marry an ordinary wife and noble concubine, and treats Meimei wholeheartedly. Is there any dissatisfaction for her? Is it true that Mrs. Xu and the Queen Mother said that the Qin family has lost morality? His wife, Yizhi, was crying because of this, causing King Qi to snatch Yizhi halfway. What do they mean? Is there a secret? But King Qi, he is not..."

The emperor stared at Ji Qing, who first shook his head in bewilderment, thought for a while, and then said cautiously: "The emperor still remembers that when King Qi was a child, he stood up for the little eunuch who was bullied in the palace. Once, King Lu used a horse whip To punish his little eunuch, he stepped forward to stop him, argued for a long time, and finally beat King Lu to the point of blood..."

The emperor snorted: "That is in the palace, no matter what it is, as long as it is not allowed to spread, who will know? And he has always only helped the little Tailin out of righteousness, but have you ever seen him help a little maid?"

"What does the emperor mean?"

"There are almost no maids in Prince Qi's mansion. That's because King Qi doesn't like women, but now he treats Mrs. Weiyuan Hou differently, and he doesn't hesitate to go against my will for her! If he didn't have plans for Qin Meimei, he would have So stupid? He is the prince, my own younger brother, Xu Junying is an important minister in the court, my right arm, who can he turn to? He wants to provoke Qin Meimei, what does he want to do? If the subjects know, they will What do you think? Let me tell you that this matter is not allowed to spread, and anyone who violates it will be punished!"

Once again, the emperor was offended by King Qi's absurdity, and said bitterly: "He will definitely not return to Prince Qi's mansion after causing trouble, in case I go looking for him, you go there and tell those people in Prince Qi's mansion: Tomorrow will be sunset." Before that Dao Yizhi didn't come back, I must have sealed him the Qi Palace, within a year, even if he grows wings, he will never be able to fly out of the palace!"

The emperor and the queen mother were annoyed and angry at King Qi's willful behavior, but there was nothing they could do. If the decree with the Phoenix seal was delivered to the people of the Xu family, it would take effect.Because Xu Junying made Sude think about remarrying, the Queen Mother actively issued a decree to divorce her wife. If it was just for Zhuang Yulan, she would not do it. After all, breaking up a marriage is harmful to morality.As a result, the emperor firmly disagreed with allowing Xu Junying to be the princess, and the queen mother’s wish to marry a daughter fell through, so it was right to withdraw the decree. She knew the nature of the eldest son Zhao Yu, and she was tolerant and friendly to her younger siblings on weekdays, but she would never relax when she insisted on principles Stepping back, King Qi dared to disrespect the emperor's decision and forcibly took away the retracted Yizhi. The queen mother was afraid that the emperor would punish King Qi severely in a fit of anger, so she hurried to find him. Who knew that King Qi's mansion had no shadow of King Qi at all, and the queen mother was angry again. In a hurry, she went into a rage in Prince Qi's mansion, and arrested everyone in the mansion, from the guards to the men's favourites, beating, scolding, and sending them away, making a lively scene, which was regarded as the emperor's imposition on her. He spit out the bad breath.

In Tsinghua Academy of Xu Mansion, Meiniang unfolded a pair of bright yellow satin in disbelief. This is the dream of divorcing his wife. She was overjoyed and pulled Cuisi to laugh and dance. Cuisi was also very happy, but she laughed so hard Reluctantly—if Mama Wang knew that she ran to the front door and brought this thing back to Grandma, Mama Wang would have to beat her to death!

King Qi brought people to Xu Mansion, and wanted to break into the inner courtyard, but was persuaded by Baoju earnestly, and said a lot about the woman Qingyu, King Qi finally listened to it, but he wanted to give Meiniang a gift—— A rectangular brocade box, Baoju was not allowed to send it in, and Meiniang had to come and get it in person, but Meiniang was in a bad mood and refused to come out, nor let Cuixi come. King Qi was very angry seeing Meiniang ignoring him, and let Baoju Spread the word: If you don't come out, break in!Cui Si relied on her courage to take the gift instead of the grandma. King Qi trusted the girl next to Meiniang and gave her the brocade box. Unexpectedly, when Meiniang opened the brocade box, what she took out was like this!
Mei Niang was full of gratitude to King Qi, no matter what his purpose was to help her, at least for now, she accepted his favor!

Immediately summoned the three maids to pack up their things, hurriedly wrote two notes, asked Cuixi to send them out, and handed them to Bai Jingyu and Ning Rulan respectively. In the special big wooden cabinet, there are explanations on the notes. Ning Rulan is completely trustworthy. After a period of contact with Bai Jingyu, she has also cultivated some friendships. She is a shrewd person and has not lost her true temperament. Meiniang knows Bai Jingyu has the ability to deal with the aftermath, and leaving in such a way will not have any impact on the daily life inside the Houfu and the outside operations.

Taking advantage of the twilight, Meiniang hugged Heng'er and walked out of Tsinghua University with the three maids who each had their own burdens. Luckily, they sent Wang Mama and Cheng'er Ping'er away first, saving a lot of trouble.

Originally, they only wanted to take their dowry girl out of the house, but Xia Lian and the nanny knelt on the ground, pleading bitterly. In desperation, they had no choice but to agree to a chance in the future, and then try to find a way to redeem Xia Lian, because Xia Lian is the eldest wife's wife. The people in the house, the contract of sale is not in her hands, so she can't take it away at will, but the nanny is hired, so she can go with her.

Xia Lian cried and sent them out of the second gate, and Mei Niang comforted her: "Don't worry! I've remembered the address of your parents' house. I'll send them money in two days and let them redeem you to go home. If you don't If you still wish to bring Heng'er, come to Cen's residence in Dongcheng to find us!"

Xia Lian begged again and again: "Xia Lian is willing to follow grandma, grandma must remember!"

Unexpectedly, someone reported a message, and when they walked out of the second gate, they were stopped by Baoju and Baizhan. They failed to persuade them, and both knelt down on the ground, begging Meiniang not to leave. Meiniang looked at these two people as if seeing Xu Junying, I can't wait to kick their feet, and said coldly:

"You can be regarded as heroes who killed the enemy and performed meritorious deeds on the battlefield. An imposing man of seven feet, a general of the fifth rank, kneels down to a weak woman, do you still have any backbone? I respect you now and reason with you. Don't learn from Xu Junying, you know one thing clearly and another thing behind your back, I hate being played like this the most, if you dare to stop me again, I will not be polite!"

Baoju raised his head and said, "Grandma..."

"Shut up! Who is your grandma? I am the Qin family, the Qin family that the queen mother ordered Xu Junying to abandon!"

She hugged Heng'er tightly with one hand, and shook away Yizhi with the other: "See clearly? Divorcing his wife Yiyi is in my hands. It is justified for me to leave your waiting mansion. Anyone who stops me will be against the decree!"

Baoju and Baizhan stared at Zhang Yizhi and were stunned: The gift that King Qi sent just now was actually this!

Mei Niang put away Yi Zhi, hugged Heng'er, and said to Cui Xi: "Go! It's annoying to leave this place for one more step!"

Baoju and Baizhan didn't dare to forcefully stop them, but they couldn't just let them go. They stood up and followed closely, deliberately blocking the way back and forth, sandwiching their master and servant between them. Give the nanny a hug, let Cuixi take them away first, turn around and instruct Cui Lian and Cui Si:
"Good dogs don't get in the way, hit me! If they break it, I will pay you money. If they dare to fight back and beat you up, I will avenge you!"

Cui Si kicked as soon as she raised her foot, she did not hide or evade, let her kick and beat, Bao Ju was slapped twice by Cui Lian, but did not move. Dumbfounded, but not daring to gather around, a group of men looked at Meiniang leading the girls and servants out of the courtyard like wooden figures, and headed for the gate.

Seeing that Baoju and Baizhan really couldn't keep them, they hurriedly asked someone to prepare a car, and made up their minds that they would follow wherever Grandma was going.

Unexpectedly, Mei Niang didn't take the car of Xu Mansion, she forced Baoju, who respectfully invited her to get in the car, to retreat with her cold eyes, and walked away, preferring to walk out of the alleyway of Xu Mansion.

King Qi didn't leave, he watched from a distance at the corner of the street, when the guard reported that Qin Er had walked out of the gate of the Hou Mansion with the girl, he chuckled:
"Sure enough, I didn't guess wrong. I came out in such a hurry that I couldn't stay for a moment. It seems that I'm tired of staying in Xu Mansion!"

Immediately, someone drove the carriage to pick him up, Meiniang was not polite, she carried Heng'er into the carriage, surrounded by King Qi and the guards, and sent her back to Cen's house in Dongcheng.

Seeing this, Baoju and Baizhan quickly packed up their troops and followed them not too far or too close.

By the time Bai Jingyu, Ning Rulan and his wife ran out the second door with a few men at home, Meiniang had already gone far away.

The manager of the waiting mansion replied that Baoju and Baizhan had led their people away, but the grandma hadn't returned to her natal home, and Baoju and the others said that they went to Cen's house in Dongcheng.

Xu Junya was puzzled: "Cen's house? Whose house is that? How can you live in someone else's house?"

The steward said: "I heard that it's not someone else's house, it's the house of Grandma's natal grandmother's family. Now the ownership has been transferred to Grandma, and it's Grandma's private house!"

Xu Junting said anxiously: "Brother is not at home, even if it's a private house, you can't just live in it! No, we still have to go and see!"

Xu Junxuan nodded: "The third brother stays at home with the third sister-in-law, and I will go with the fourth brother!"

Ning Rulan said: "It doesn't matter to me, let's go together, and persuade my sister-in-law, no matter how angry you are, it's better to go home and live, everything will be discussed when the elder brother comes back!"

Xu Junya nodded, took the two brothers and asked the manager to prepare the horse, and they also came to Dongcheng together.
