Dingyuan Palace.

Mo Ruochen was feeding the birds when he saw the man in black walking in with a constipated look on his face.

"Your Highness, Princess Changle just subdued Prince Lu with her sword, and then whipped him 23 times with the whip bestowed by the emperor."

Mo Ruochen looked up in surprise, "Is this girl so good at martial arts?"

The man in black thought for a moment and said, "The princess's sword and whip skills should have been learned from the eldest princess."

"Haha," Mo Ruochen laughed, "It's true that a tiger mother will have a dog daughter!"

The staff and the men in black who were walking over were silent. Was there something wrong with what the prince said?

Mo Ruochen finished feeding the birds with a smile on his face. He was in a particularly good mood. He turned to look at his staff and said, "Let's find some time to go to Nanshan to hunt rabbits. I heard that Princess Changle loves to roast rabbits. Let's try some."

Staff: ....

Man in Black: ....

When the old lady heard Lu Quan's report, she was so angry that she couldn't eat. She put down her bowl and chopsticks with force, "This Xiao Yunxi is too arrogant. She actually beat Jing Ting like this. This is clearly humiliating our Zhennan Palace."

The old prince actually laughed, "Now that she has vented her anger, it means that the matter has come to an end for the time being, and she won't hold on to it.

Besides, we are in the wrong, so why not give in to her?

If you are not convinced, why don't you go to Feiyu Pavilion and make a scene?"

The old lady was furious and paused for a moment, "So we're just going to let her do what she wants?"

"Not only that," the old prince waved his hand to let Lu Quan go, "You must find a way to give all the income from the family shops and farms to her, so that she can truly be the head of the family!"

"Why?"

The old lady cared most about money and didn't want anyone to share the silver in her hands.

"Because she is the emperor's! Because we don't have the ability to confront the royal family head-on! It's just a small amount of money, why not give it to Xiao Yunxi to show her goodwill!"

"Several tens of thousands of taels a year, how can that be considered small amounts of money?"

The old prince glared at his wife and said, "If you had gotten rid of that bitch earlier, you wouldn't be in such a passive position now!"

The old lady grumbled aggrievedly, "Didn't you write to spare Lin Wan'er's life?"

"I asked you to keep her alive, not to let her run around and cause trouble!"

The old prince was furious at her lack of resistance, and pointed at the old lady and angrily shouted, "When you poisoned and maimed my concubines and maids, why didn't you obey me?!

Wouldn't you find a reason to break her legs?

Wouldn't they drug her and make her bedridden?

Stupid woman! "

The old lady was scolded so much that she dared not say a word.

"Master," Nanny Li walked in quickly, "someone from the Dong family is here to deliver the divorce letter and dowry!"

"What?" The old lady stood up in shock, "Does that old woman really want to divorce Fang'er?"

The old prince knocked on the table and asked, "Who is coming?"

"She is the capable nanny beside Old Madam Dong."

"Go and invite the people over."

"Yes, old slave, go right away."

"Master, are you just going to watch Fang'er get divorced?"

The old lady was so anxious that she didn’t know what to do. “Dong Weixian is about to be promoted by the emperor, and he is also a student of Grand Tutor Xiao, so he has a bright future.

Fang'er must not be divorced!

This relationship cannot be severed!"

The old prince naturally understood the old lady's concerns, and he didn't want his granddaughter to be divorced, but looking at the attitude of the Dong family now, he was afraid that it would be difficult to save the situation.

"Greetings to the old prince and old lady," said the Dong family's old nanny, bowing indifferently. "I am here to deliver the divorce letter and dowry of the eldest lady of the Lu family."

The old prince looked at the divorce letter and dowry list handed to him with both hands and said nothing.

The old lady also looked at the maid with a sullen expression, "Which of the seven offenses did my Fang'er commit?!

Childless? Fang'er gave birth to a son and a daughter for the Dong family.

Promiscuous? Fang'er is a law-abiding person with a clean record, but your Lord Dong has nothing on his mind.

Not serving my uncle and aunt? Visiting Fang'er every morning and evening, has she ever made a mistake?

Gossip? Did Fang'er gossip or spread rumors?

As for theft, jealousy, and illness, they are nonsense!

What right do you Dong family have to divorce my wife? "

"My old lady wrote the divorce letter for the crimes of gossip and jealousy," Dong's nanny replied calmly.

My old lady said that Lu is jealous and talkative, and if she doesn't stop, the family will be in turmoil!"

"Tsk," the old lady sneered after hearing the answer, "Jealous by nature? Then how can your eldest son's family have so many concubines and illegitimate sons and daughters living well?

Too talkative? Fang'er loves to be lively, but she never stirs up trouble! "

The old lady wanted to continue speaking, but was interrupted by the old prince with a wave of his hand.

He said in a deep voice: "Madam Dong has seven reasons for divorce, and Fang'er also has three reasons for not leaving.

She mourned for Old Master Dong for three years, which is called "three years of mourning".

Dong Weixian was originally just the son of a small merchant. Although he passed the imperial examination, he became an official only after his marriage. He changed from a businessman to a scholar, which is what is meant by "marrying someone humble at the time and becoming noble later."

If you don’t go for two of the three, your Dong family cannot divorce your wife!

If Madam Dong insists on doing what she wants, I will pursue her to the end!"

The old lady was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say in rebuttal.

She thought to herself: The old lady was so angry that she wanted to divorce Lu, but she forgot about the matter of Sanbu. What should I do now?

After hearing what the old prince said, the old lady became more confident, "Go back and explain it to your old lady word for word!"

He loudly ordered Li Ma, "Send the guests out!"

She looked at the old prince with a smile, "Master, you are really amazing. I never thought there would be such a thing as three no-gos!"

The old prince shook his head, "That's not enough. Tomorrow you should arrange for a few maids and servants to go to taverns and chess clubs to spread the word that 'Dong first favored his concubine and killed his wife, and in order to establish his new wife, he wants to divorce his wife.' Then have Fang'er pretend to be sick and invite a few more doctors to come!"

The old lady nodded. "But Fang'er is in good health. She was whipped by Xiao Yunxi yesterday, but she is alive and kicking today. She even ran to Lin Wan'er and made a scene just now. How could she pretend to be sick?"

The old prince sighed helplessly, "From now on, don't give her food, water, or sleep, and ask the doctor to come in and see her tomorrow night.

Tell her, if she doesn't want to be divorced and continue to be an official's wife, she should hold back!"

Although the old lady felt sorry for her granddaughter, she also knew that this was the only way. "Yuanyang, go call Fang'er and I will talk to her in person."

Who would have thought that after hearing this, Lu Guifang did not make a fuss as the old lady had imagined, but was instead very quiet.

"Fang'er?" The old lady pulled her hand worriedly, "If you play this trick well, the Dong family will not only not be able to divorce you, but they will also have to take you back in a nice way. You are already the eldest daughter-in-law of the Dong family!"

"Grandma," Lu Guifang's eyes were red, "Mother-in-law hates being threatened the most. How can she let me have an easy life in the future?"

She fell on the old lady's lap and cried bitterly.

The old prince gave Lu Guifang a cold look and said, "Then go to the family temple to practice meditation and stay with the ancient Buddha forever!"

"grandfather?!"

Lu Guifang looked up in disbelief.

"Either you play the trick of self-torture and go back to be the eldest lady of the Dong family," the old prince said indifferently, "or you accept the divorce letter and stay in the family temple until you die!"

Seeing that Lu Guifang had bitten her mouth until it bled, the old lady sighed and patted her hands, "Fang'er, be patient for a while, your mother-in-law is old, how many years can she live? Won't you be the one who makes the decisions for the Dong family sooner or later?

If you can outlast her, you will be the mistress of the house!"

Lu Guifang lowered her head and said softly, "Granddaughter knows."

She didn't dare to gamble. Although she was the only granddaughter, she was born out of wedlock after all. In the eyes of her grandparents, she might not be as important as Xiao Yunxi.

Sure enough, whether in the husband’s family or the parents’ family, only if one has a high enough status can one gain the respect of others!
