Seeing the expressions of everyone in Luo Mingxiang's Xu family became extremely ugly, even those who disliked Xu Zhaolin the most could no longer take pleasure in his misfortune.
The Xu family originally placed all their treasure on Xu Zhaolin, but now that Xu Zhaolin is dead, forget it. If they offend the Luo family again...
The consequences are simply unimaginable.
"Mingxiang, listen to me!" Xu Zhaolin quickly stepped forward to grab Luo Mingxiang's hand.
Luo Mingxiang took a step back slightly, nodded and said, "Just tell me, I'll listen."
Xu Zhaolin moved the corners of his mouth but could not speak. After a while, he said: "Mingxiang, I am sincere to you, you have to believe me."
Luo Mingxiang nodded and said: "Okay, I believe you. Let's go to the Yamen and explain the matter clearly."
Xu Zhaolin's expression suddenly changed, and Mrs. Chun'anbo also stepped forward quickly and said: "Mingxiang, how can Zhaolin go to the Yamen?"
Luo Mingxiang said: "I just went to the Yamen to explain the matter clearly. I just heard from this gentleman that it was an official letter signed by the Lord of Jingzhao Yamen. We don't want to embarrass others. If we don't go, others will think that the Xu family is guilty.
The Luo family uses its power to suppress others and even ignores Jingzhao Yamen?"
"this……"
Luo Mingxiang stopped looking at them, turned around, held the girl's arm and walked out, "Let's go, I'll go too."
"Mother..." Xu Zhaolin looked at Mrs. Chun'anbo's house at a loss. Mrs. Chun'anbo also looked at a loss. She didn't know how a good thing could become like this.
The biggest joy in Shangyong after the New Year was probably when students from Linfeng Academy and Imperial Academy made a big fuss about the opening ceremony of Anlan Academy. As a result, they were defeated and forced to write a letter of congratulations. They even caused the Minister of Civil Affairs to be embarrassed in the street.
Who would have thought that within a few days of excitement, the second big fun would come out again, and the limelight would even overtake the incident at Anlan Academy in one fell swoop.
General Luo's son-in-law, Xu Zhaolin, the eldest son of the Chun'an Prefecture, one of the Seven Beauties of the Imperial City, was sued by a brothel girl to the Jingzhao Yamen. It was said that Xu Zhaolin had raised her as a mistress three years ago and had originally promised to marry her.
After entering, now that she was pregnant, Xu Zhaolin regretted it, and actually had people drive her out of the capital and sent people to secretly hunt her down.
Fortunately, she met a kind person and was saved. She had no choice but to save her life, so she went to the Chengtian Mansion Yamen to complain.
As soon as this news came out, the entire imperial city was really lively. The erotic news about romantic affairs between men and women is naturally much more interesting to ordinary people than those who are studying in some academy.
However, after a long time, many versions and details have been derived. Those people spoke eloquently in private, as if they were hiding under someone's bed and eavesdropping.
Naturally, some scholars contributed to this.
After all, the Xu family is the in-laws of the Luo family, and Luo Yun is Xie Yan's father-in-law. They are all one family. Because of the incident at Anlan Academy, both Linfeng Academy and the Imperial College are now very shameless. Liao Wei, the Minister of Civil Affairs,
There were many times when I went to court with a gloomy face.
Now that something happened to the Luo family's son-in-law, they have to spread the word whether it's true or not. Not only can they laugh at the Luo family's jokes, but they can also attract the people's mocking eyes away, so why not?
Not only was the public spread in full swing, but Shang Chun'anbo Mansion was impeached early the next morning, which pushed the excitement to its peak.
Xie Yan did not show favoritism and directly ordered Jing Zhaoyin to investigate the case in detail and not tolerate it.
Chun Anbo, who had not gone to court, fainted immediately when he heard the news.
The Xu family is finished!
"So, Xu Zhaolin and Mrs. Xu have been imprisoned?" Su Rui asked softly in the side room of the teahouse on the street with her eyebrows slightly raised.
Luo Junyao nodded and said, "Yes, but I'm afraid it won't be long before it comes out."
Su Rui thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's right."
Deng Yuniang was a promiscuous woman, not a good girl or a married man. Even if Xu Zhaolin kept her outside, it would not be illegal. As for the pursuit of Deng Yuniang, it was not Xu Zhaolin's fault. Jing Zhaoyin could not keep him locked up all the time.
In the end, I'm afraid I slapped a few boards on it and put it back.
But Mrs. Chun Anbo...
"Mrs. Chun Anbo really sent people to hunt down Deng Yuniang?" Su Rui asked.
Luo Jun smiled, but did not answer.
Su Rui did not ask further questions, shook her head and looked at Luo Mingxiang sitting next to her and asked: "Mingxiang, what are your plans?"
Luo Mingxiang said leisurely: "It's nothing. My mother has sent the Heli documents to the Xu family for me, but the Xu family has not responded yet."
"The Luo family is now the only life-saving straw for the Xu family. I'm afraid they won't agree to divorce so easily," Su Rui said.
Luo Mingxiang disagreed and said with a smile: "They will agree."
Su Rui nodded and said, "If you need anything, just ask."
Luo Mingxiang said apologetically: "You and your eldest brother are getting married soon, but something like this happened to me. I'm really sorry."
Su Rui said: "What's there to be sorry for? Since this kind of thing happened, the sooner it is solved, the better. It was not your fault in the first place. Don't blame yourself for everything."
Luo Mingxiang said: "I know, I have thought about it these past few days, and there is nothing to be sad about."
Seeing that there was no depression in her brows, Su Rui felt relieved. She held her hand and said, "Just think clearly. Don't suffer yourself because of other people's mistakes."
Luo Mingxiang smiled and nodded, feeling peaceful in his heart.
Maybe she really wasn't that sad after getting married recently.
When she first heard about this incident, she felt like the world was falling apart, but after a few days, Luo Mingxiang felt that it was nothing more than that. After all, she had not been with Xu Zhaolin and the Xu family for less than half a year, even if it was just a short time.
Unfortunately, she chose the wrong person, and there is still a way for her to turn back.
She also has a mother, a Yaoyao, a father, brothers, and friends. With so many people caring for her and helping her, why must she feel sad and painful for such a person?
Luo Mingxiang gently stroked his abdomen and said with a smile: "I made an agreement with Yaoyao that after I give birth to the child, I will go to Anlan Academy to help become a teacher. Mom can also help me take care of the child, so as not to keep saying that she doesn't know when she will be able to hold her.
Grandson, let’s give her grandson some practice first.”
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This is about Su Rui. Just as Su Rui was about to reply, there was a gentle knock on the door. Ling Lan opened the door from outside.
Said: "Princess, eldest lady, Mrs. Luo sent someone to say that someone from the Xu family is here."
Luo Jun raised his eyebrows, "Has the Xu family agreed to divorce?"
Ling Lan shook her head and said, "Prince Chun'an was released. He said he came to the Luo family to plead guilty."
Sure enough, it is such a clichéd plot.
Everyone looked at Luo Mingxiang. Luo Mingxiang stood up and said with a smile: "Let's go back and take a look. We should resolve this matter early so as not to trouble eldest brother and A Rui later."
The group of people walked out of the side room, and the bustling noise in the teahouse suddenly fell silent.
Luo Junyao glanced at the obviously guilty expressions of many people upstairs. How could he not know what these people were talking about just now?
But since they did this, they had no intention of silencing others, so they didn't say anything more and just took Luo Mingxiang's hand and went downstairs.
After the group of people disappeared at the top of the stairs, it took a while for the noise upstairs to resume.
"Those are the Princess Regent and Miss Luo?"
"And the eldest daughter of the Su family...it seems that eldest daughter Luo doesn't wipe her tears at home every day."
"With a backer like the Luo family, what can Miss Luo do to shed tears every day?" Someone sneered: "Even if you leave the Xu family, can you live with it?"
"You can't say that. Women still have to be more generous after all."
"You're so generous! Do you dare to say this to the Luo family and the Princess Regent?"
"What's wrong with this?"
"Idiot! That doesn't make sense to you! Don't even think about it. The eldest daughter of the Luo family is a stepdaughter. The other two young masters of the Luo family and the regent princess are all born from the same mother. There is also the regent, and now there is only one in the backyard.
The regent is alone. Do you think the Luo family can tolerate a child crawling out of the belly of the outer room? "
"This...this is too arrogant."
"Can you take care of this family tradition? General Luo and the regent have no objections. The Xu family simply doesn't want to live anymore."
At the gate of Luo's house, Xu Zhaolin's face was as pale as paper. He was still wearing the clothes he wore when he went to Jingzhao Yamen from Xu's house that day, and there were stains of blood on his back.
He was kneeling at the foot of the doorstep, completely ignoring the sideways glances of passers-by.
In front of the usually quiet gate, it seems to be particularly lively today. There are always people passing by casually, and some people have even passed by three or four times.
"The Crown Prince..." The young man looked at his Crown Prince with a worried face, and couldn't help complaining about the young lady's cruelty.
The injury on the prince's hand has not healed yet, and he was beaten with a cane again. Now he kneels at the gate of the Luo family without caring about his face. However, not even a steward of the Luo family came out to take a look, and the guards guarding the door were even more disrespectful.
They didn't care.
Xu Zhaolin shook his head and said hoarsely: "It's okay."
The young man said anxiously: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid the young lady is angry. Let's go back first."
Xu Zhaolin smiled bitterly and said, "No, I must see Mingxiang and ask for her forgiveness."
"But..." The young man gritted his teeth and said, "I'll ask someone to report it later!" The prince was kneeling here and being watched by so many people coming and going. Even he, the young man, felt his face burning.
panic.
The boy was about to talk to the guard at the door again when he saw a carriage slowly coming from the street not far away. It was the carriage of the Prince Regent's Palace.
The carriage stopped at the door. Luo Junyao jumped out of the carriage and turned to help Luo Mingxiang, "Sister, be careful."
When Xu Zhaolin heard this, he was shocked. He turned around with some difficulty and saw Luo Mingxiang being supported by Luo Junyao as he prepared to get off the carriage.
"Ming Xiang!" Xu Zhaolin quickly wanted to get up, but he was a little weak and had been kneeling for a long time. Before he could get up, he fell forward and fell to the ground.
Luo Junyao raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Prince Chun'an, even if I am the regent princess, such a big gift is too heavy for someone who is young and old."
"..." Xu Zhaolin got up without any courtesy, "The princess was joking, I...I came to apologize to Mingxiang."
Luo Junyao asked: "How do you plan to apologize?"
"..." Xu Zhaolin was speechless.
Luo Junyao said: "I think, how about breaking one of the legs?" Not only Xu Zhaolin, but also the people pretending to pass by were startled, and they all cast horrified looks at the Princess Regent.
The second girl of the Luo family seems to have become more and more cruel since she became the regent.
Xu Zhaolin forced a smile and said, "The princess is joking."
Luo Junyao's face darkened and he said coldly: "How did you know that I was joking? Could it be that the rule of Chun'an Bo Mansion is that you must use your mouth to apologize?"
"I...Mingxiang..." Xu Zhaolin looked at Luo Mingxiang affectionately, as if he had deep affection for her.
However, Luo Mingxiang only felt disgusted. He raised his hand and patted Luo Junyao's arm. Luo Mingxiang said: "Shaoyao, it's okay."
Luo Junyao snorted softly and then stopped talking.
Xu Zhaolin was overjoyed and said quickly: "Mingxiang, I know I was wrong. I was young and ignorant at the time, so I did such a wrong thing. I have regretted it for a long time, but I just don't know how to tell you. I
I’m not asking you to forgive me now, but I’m asking you to give me a chance, okay? For the sake of our children?”
Luo Mingxiang shook his head and said: "The matter has come to this, and it's too late to say anything. We have signed the peace and separation, so that we can get together and part ways."
"No!" Xu Zhaolin said hurriedly: "Mingxiang, you are the only one in my heart, I can't live without you!"
Luo Mingxiang said: "I'm not interested in who you think of me. I'll go back and tell Uncle Chun'an that if the Xu family refuses to take the initiative to sign the divorce letter, I will have no choice but to go to Jingzhao Yamen to play drums."
"What's more..." Luo Mingxiang sneered and said, "You promised to marry that beautiful lady as your main wife. If you and I don't separate, how are you going to marry her?"
"No, I..." Xu Zhaolin's expression changed, "That's all false! You are the only wife I have!"
Xu Zhaolin only felt deep regret in his heart at this time. Who could have known that some small mistakes he made when he was young and frivolous would actually put him in this situation now.
He did say that he wanted to marry Deng Yuniang. That was when they were most in love together.
Occasionally, he would inevitably say some inappropriate words when he was drunk. He even wrote a letter to Deng Yuniang promising to marry her. But they all knew that it was just a joke. Deng Yuniang's identity destined her to never become his wife.
She also knew that all she wanted was a place in the concubine's room.
Even so, he was severely rejected by his mother.
He never expected that Deng Yuniang would sue him for deceiving her with this promise letter that had no effect at all.
Thinking of this, Xu Zhaolin's original affection for Deng Yuniang disappeared. He only regretted that he was blind and fell in love with such a heartless and unjust woman!
Luo Mingxiang pulled Luo Junyao towards the door of the house, and said lightly, "I remembered this. Since you first promised to marry Deng Yuniang, and then proposed marriage to the Luo family, after all...this can be considered a fraudulent marriage.
?”
This world is extremely tolerant to men. It is not illegal for men to have extramarital affairs, but they can't escape cheating in marriage no matter what.
Xu Zhaolin was shaken by the shock. He looked at Luo Mingxiang's back and gritted his teeth and said, "Mingxiang, are you really so cruel?"
Luo Mingxiang looked back at him and said with a faint smile: "Why didn't you think about it when you came to the Luo family to propose marriage? What would happen if such a disgusting behavior came to light? Prince Xu, the Xu family has not been bad to me during this period.
So I advise you, don’t ruin the entire Xu family just because of you."
"I will see He Lishu tomorrow, otherwise we will meet at Jingzhao Yamen."
