After the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion was reborn, she divorced and married the prince!

The prince's close ministers said, "Why not summon Wang Honglue and give him a warning in person?"

The prince snorted, "I can't talk to him. Order the Minister of Revenue to come and see him."

The Minister of Revenue was summoned to the Eastern Palace.

No one else knows what the Crown Prince said to him.

But after the Minister of Revenue left the Eastern Palace, he frowned and called Wang Honglue to come over to talk.

Wang Honglue had just been fined his salary by the emperor and was feeling upset.

The fine is a minor matter, just a loss of money.

But his official career ended there.

If there is another mistake, there will be no recovery.

He was feeling depressed when he was called over by his immediate superior, the Minister of Revenue, and was scolded.

"The Emperor hates forming cliques and colluding with the princes the most!"

"The emperor is now in good health, the prince has done nothing wrong, and the emperor and the prince, father and son, are in harmony!"

"You, are you blinded by greed? Are you so close to the king?!"

The Shangshu cursed with a dark face.

Wang Honglue's heart skipped a beat.

"The emperor is punishing you now because you are not doing your job well! You don't know how to judge people!"

"If the emperor knew that you were forming a clique and colluding with the prince, not to mention your official hat, even your head, whether you can save it or not, depends on luck!"

"When I first promoted you, you were so smart and ambitious! Now...how did you become like this?"

Wang Honglue looked at his immediate superior and mentor, the Shangshu, and saw him shaking his head and sighing, and the look of disappointment on his face.

It was like a dull hammer, hitting him hard in the heart.

The disappointment of his mentor made him more depressed than punishment or scolding.

His chest felt heavy and he had trouble breathing.

"Go back and think about it carefully. Why did you study in the first place? Why did you want to be an official?" The Minister of Revenue sighed, "Come back to me when you have figured it out."

Wang Hong left the teacher's room dejectedly.

He took a leave of absence and went home, locking himself in the study, refusing to see anyone and eat.

That evening, night fell.

Several servants, carrying some things, left Wang Honglue's mansion through the corner gate and quietly went to Prince Cheng's mansion.

King Cheng had originally been planning to go to sleep, but upon hearing the news, he lost all desire to sleep.

He came to the study with a gloomy face.

I looked at the things the servants brought in and placed in the study.

King Cheng looked back over the years and saw that all the things he had given Wang Honglue in order to win him over were returned to him.

His face suddenly became so gloomy that ink could drip out of it.

"Humph! You are such a good guy, Wang Honglue!"

"It's just that your father fined you half a year's salary! Look how scared you are!"

"You want to spit it out after eating it? Is there such a cheap thing in the world?!"

The more King Cheng thought about it, the angrier he became, and his heart was burning with anger.

He couldn't sleep, so he simply called his trusted aides who were living in the mansion to his study.

As soon as the trusted aides saw the things in the room, they had a guess. After hearing King Cheng's angry curse, their guess was almost right.

"That's fine." The aide sighed.

"Is this okay? What's good about it?" King Cheng slammed the table in anger.

The staff hurriedly tried to comfort him, "Your Majesty, calm down. Minister Wang has returned the gift. This at least means that the punishment for this matter has come to an end for Minister Wang and Li Zhirong."

"The emperor has no intention of pursuing the matter further. Li Zhirong is not doing a good job, and he is also the cousin of Concubine Li. The emperor did not pursue the matter further because of your kindness, Your Majesty."

King Cheng was startled when he heard this.

After a moment, he slumped down in his chair, exhausted, and let out a long sigh.

"Old Four has taken all the benefits again!" King Cheng said angrily, "It was Old Four's brother-in-law who fought with Wang Honglue for the cotton!"

"That Caiyunxuan is also the princess of the fourth brother. She called a few friends to help her with the money."

"What do you mean the Crown Prince took the lead? The Crown Prince didn't contribute at all, but he gained a good reputation... Haha, it not only left a good impression in front of the Emperor, but also brought me closer to the Crown Prince!"

"Too cunning! This is not like the fourth brother's style. When did he learn to be friendly with the crown prince?"

The staff thought for a moment and whispered, "Before, Prince Jing had not married, he did what he wanted, had a straightforward temper, and did things without considering the consequences."

"Now, his style of doing things has changed drastically. If you look closely at everything, you can see the Princess Jing's influence in it."

"It can be seen that it was Princess Jing who advised Prince Jing and dominated the attitude of Prince Jing's Mansion."

Thinking of Song Mingli, King Cheng's expression froze again.

He had never met Song Mingli before, but he had heard that she married into the Changning Marquis's Mansion when she was only fourteen or fifteen years old.

The husband was unhappy and left home the day after the wedding.

But she served her parents-in-law, took care of her brother-in-law and sister-in-law, and gave birth to a son, raising him alone until he was six years old.

He had never paid any attention to this woman.

Until the matter between her and Gu Qingshan came to the point of a joint trial by three courts.

And Prince Jing, who had never been married, actually had a son who was six or seven years old!

Moreover, his son suddenly gained the favor of his father...

"This woman is amazing. She managed to avoid the period when my father was dissatisfied with General Song."

"When all the hardships had passed and my father began to miss General Song again, she suddenly appeared and took all the benefits!"

"Tsk tsk," in the eyes of a calculating man like King Cheng, it seemed that Song Mingli had calculated everything for the best time, "If you want to marry, you should marry a woman like this!"

As soon as King Cheng finished speaking, the people outside the door paused.

Princess Cheng, who came with her maid and carrying a food box, froze and stood there in a daze.

She heard that the prince was about to go to bed, but suddenly came to the study.

It was already late at night, but the prince couldn't sleep, so he called his confidant to talk.

Princess Cheng was considerate of her husband. She got up specially and directed the small kitchen to stew some bird's nest supplement to nourish her husband's body.

But she served me so attentively.

Standing outside the study door, I heard my husband envying others for marrying a virtuous wife?

What? Do you think Xu Jinshu is not virtuous?

King Cheng's voice was heard from the study again.

"Oh, you never know until you compare... I don't expect her to have brothers from her mother's side like Song Yanzhou and Song Yunqi."

"But at least, she should be virtuous and generous, right? But she can't even tolerate her own sister!"

"If it wasn't for her, how could Miss Xu San have gone to the East Palace?"

"It would have been fine if she had gone to the Eastern Palace, but she still missed Song Mingli's feelings! The night she was named Liang Di, the prince gave Song Mingli something!"

King Cheng sneered, "Oh, you are neither virtuous nor moral. I was really blind in the beginning!"

"Your Highness, please calm down..." the aide whispered to comfort him.

Princess Cheng stood outside the door, her hands and feet were cold, and her eyes were spitting fire.

She clenched her hands tightly together, her nails digging deep into the flesh, but she didn't feel any pain at all.

The maid wanted to persuade her but didn't dare to open her mouth.

Princess Cheng took a deep breath, quietly took a few steps back, turned around and left.

The maid looked at the food box in her hand, then looked at the princess, and reluctantly followed her away.

Returning to her own courtyard, Princess Cheng was so angry that she grabbed the food box and smashed it to the ground.

The maid was so frightened that she immediately knelt on the ground, "Princess, calm down, your health is more important!"

"Ha! I don't mind! I have no morals!"

"She is nothing but a wicked woman who divorced her husband and remarried, and who is not a faithful wife!"

"I am ashamed to compare myself with her! In his eyes, I am not as good as that bitch!"

Princess Cheng was so angry that her eyes went dark and she almost fell to the ground.

The maids and nannies were horrified and quickly helped her back into the house.

The nurse pinched her philtrum to wake her up.

"Princess, don't be angry. It's not worth it to get yourself hurt by anger!"

"You still have the two young masters Huai Lin and Huai Xu!"

"Your Highness was just upset at the moment and said that in anger..."

Princess Cheng's wet nurse quickly advised in a low voice.

"You don't have to take your angry words to heart. In the future, husband and wife will respect each other like guests. Isn't it better for you to focus on the upbringing of the two young masters?"
