She told Mingxuan about what she had learned about He Shumin's husband's family. Those who are involved are often confused, while those who are not involved can see things clearly. Even if He Shumin didn't say it, Mingxuan had guessed that she must have had a hard time these days.

She has experienced it herself, and it would be a lie to say that she was not disappointed, but it was also because of this that she took the worst attitude towards He Shumin's situation.

"I've seen her mother-in-law before. She's not a good person. Su Shixuan can tolerate her, but men will change after they get married. No matter how sincere they were when they made their vows, it won't stop them from changing their minds later."

As she spoke, she thought of her own affairs again, and her face looked even worse. As sisters, she naturally couldn't bear to see He Shumin suffer the same fate as her.

Thinking of this, she immediately looked at Gu Qinghe, "But she is now completely devoted to Su Shixuan. It's useless even if you talk to her. She won't listen."

Gu Qinghe curled the corners of his lips, "It is because I know she won't listen that I told you all these things. Together, you and I may be able to help her."

Mingxuan was a straightforward person. Upon hearing this, she immediately asked, "What do you need me to do?"

Naturally, Gu Qinghe told Mingxuan about his plan. Mingxuan's eyes lit up and said, "Good idea."

This plan was perfect, but Gu Qinghe was still a little unwilling. She couldn't explain why she was unwilling, but she could only convince herself that this was the best outcome for He Shumin.

"Don't let your imagination run wild. Shu Min may not be unaware of the troubles between Su's mother and Lin Wan'er, but she endured it for Su Shixuan, just like I foolishly agreed to Zhao Wang's concubine."

"The only thing that makes me luckier than her is that I didn't give birth to a child. Otherwise, I would be like her, unable to get away."

Not to mention that Su Shixuan has not done anything to offend He Shumin, even if he really did, He Shumin would probably just endure it, and when she was exhausted she would have a quarrel with Su Shixuan, which happened to fall into the trap of Su's mother and Lin Wan'er.

If men are unhappy with their lives, they can go out to seek happiness, divorce their wives, or take concubines, but all they can do is endure.

Mingxuan pointed out Gu Qinghe's unwillingness and dissatisfaction, and she let out a sigh of relief. Yes, after the experience of being trapped in the backyard in her previous life, she seemed to have changed a lot now, or it could be said that her mentality was old and she was full of resentment and disappointment with the world.

If these ideas were to be made known to others, one would certainly be severely criticized.

Gu Qinghe and Mingxuan looked at each other, and the words he said seemed to comfort himself and Mingxuan at the same time, "Forget it, there is only so much we can do for now. What happens next will depend on Sister Shumin's own choice."

"you're right."

The two of them did not stay in the bamboo forest for long. The meal was ready in the kitchen, and Ming's father and mother immediately sent someone to call them.

The family was having a meal when there was a sudden noise outside. The housekeeper hurried out to see what was going on.

When he walked to the door, he saw Zhao Wang, dragging his injured leg and leaning on crutches, standing at the door of Ming Mansion and begging Ming Xuan to go out.

He had lost all his previous gentle and refined appearance, and was left with only a look of dejection.

The butler's face was full of disgust, and the area around him was crowded with people watching the fun, and those who listened to the words that were pointed at by Ming Fu were furious.

He quickly shouted to the doorman and the servant, "What are you still standing there for? Can't you see that this lunatic is causing trouble? Hurry up and throw him away. If the master sees this, you will suffer!"

It is no exaggeration to say that Zhao Wang's current life is miserable and he regrets everything.

When Mingxuan was asking for a divorce, he did not think the matter was so serious. He just thought that she was angry and had a tantrum. This kind of situation happened before, and he just needed to coax her after she calmed down.

What’s different from usual is that the child she had been looking forward to is gone, so she probably won’t be as popular as before.

But aren't all women like that? Even if they have a little temper, they still have to go on with their lives. He only needs to go to the Ming Mansion in two days to admit his mistake to Ming Xuan, cry bitterly, express his deep regret and sadness about the unborn child, and tell her that she will still have a child. When she returns to the Zhao Mansion, he will bring the concubine's child to her room for her to raise.

In this way, Mingxuan would definitely be coaxed into being willing to go back to the Zhao Mansion with him.

But he didn't expect that Mingxuan's behavior this time was beyond his expectations. He couldn't even enter the Ming Mansion, let alone admit his mistake in tears in front of her.

Not only that, he seemed to have offended someone in the Hanlin Academy, and his colleagues, who were on good terms with him, kept their distance from him.

He offended the emperor for no reason and was beaten with thirty sticks.

The executioner seemed to have been warned beforehand, for he fainted from the pain before the punishment was over. It was at that time that he suffered the leg injury.

He knew that the Ming Mansion must have been behind this.

He was truly regretting his decision these days, but this regret was mixed with hatred for Mingxuan, and even for Gu Qinghe.

If she hadn't helped Mingxuan with her medical treatment and made her pregnant, how could things have developed to this point.

The butler had Zhao Wang thrown aside and returned to the front hall.

Ming's father and mother guessed who the visitor was and did not ask in order not to upset him. They continued chatting with Gu Qinghe with a smile on their faces.

After the meal, Gu Qinghe carried the bags of things that the Ming family had prepared for her back home. Ming's mother insisted that the servants accompany her, but Gu Qinghe refused.

Gu Qinghe had a very sharp sense. Not long after leaving Ming Mansion, he felt as if someone was following him.

From the unsteady footsteps, she quickly guessed who the person was and did not panic. When they were still two alleys away from her residence, the person who had been following her finally couldn't stand it anymore and rushed towards her.

The moonlight shone on the tip of the knife and flashed across Gu Qinghe's eyes. She didn't need to do anything. Gao Cun suddenly appeared and kicked the man several meters away.

Zhao Wang covered his chest and spat out a few mouthfuls of blood, feeling very unwilling. However, Gao Cun's kick was too strong, and he rolled his eyes and fainted.

"Seeing that there is no hope for the Ming government to turn back, he is venting his anger on you." Gao Cun pouted and stepped forward to kick Zhao Wang again, "Really, you are not a man."

Gu Qinghe was amused by him, "Okay, don't kill anyone."

She was worried that it would cause trouble for Shao Wei, so she handed some of the things in her hand to Gao Cun, "Help me carry some, it's too heavy."

Gao Cun was about to take it, but his expression suddenly changed. He rolled over and kicked the whistling hidden weapon away, and quickly protected Gu Qinghe behind him.

Suddenly, more than a dozen men in black emerged from all directions in the dim alley.
