"Sister, do you think Xu Zhaolin will sign the divorce letter?" Luo Junyao asked softly while helping Luo Mingxiang walk to the house.
Luo Mingxiang thought for a moment and chuckled: "No."
"Then why did you say..." Luo Junyao said a little puzzled, but quickly realized: "Did you do it on purpose? Do you want to go to court with him?"
Luo Mingxiang raised his hand and caressed her abdomen, and said calmly: "If this is not the case, I am afraid that the child will still have trouble after he is born. The Xu family will not let go so easily."
These days, people always hope that women will be more tolerant and generous. Even if the husband cheats on her, and even if the husband has malicious intentions towards her, as long as nothing really happens, they still hope that the woman will forget the blame.
Even if there was unanimous condemnation when the incident first happened, and the Xu family will try to hide themselves after the incident has passed, the world will still be unable to help but favor the man's side.
Luo Junyao curled his lips and said a little unhappy, "It's so troublesome, why not let me kill Xu Zhaolin directly before."
Luo Mingxiang nodded her eyebrows and said with a smile: "Then why doesn't the regent just kill those courtiers who oppose him in the court?"
Luo Junyao said: "We can't kill all the people who disagree with the political views. Besides, even if we can kill so that no one dares to oppose him, what's the point of the court? Aren't all those officials turned into idiots?"
No matter how powerful and wise Xie Yan is, he will inevitably make mistakes. From ancient times to the present, there has never been a superior person who can rely on killing to stabilize the world for a long time.
The complete lack of opposition is itself a danger.
Luo Mingxiang smiled and said: "So you still know these truths. Even if you kill Xu Zhaolin, I will still be the daughter-in-law of the Xu family. Even if I remarry in the future, I will still have to bear the status of the widow of the Xu family. I don't want this. If I want to break it off, I'll break it off cleanly.
!”
Luo Jun glanced at her abdomen without trace, but Luo Mingxiang noticed it. She lowered her head and smiled: "This is different. He is not only a bloodline of the Xu family, but also my child."
Luo Jun shook his head, hugged her arm and said, "Whatever you want, big sister, we will support you."
The two went directly to the Su family's courtyard but found that there were outsiders there. They saw the woman Luo Junyao kneeling in front of the Su family and couldn't help but frowned.
Mrs. Su was a little surprised when she saw the two people coming in, and glared at the girl who came in behind them.
Luo Mingxiang smiled and waved the girl away, saying: "Mom, don't blame her, we didn't let her come in to report. This..." Luo Mingxiang looked at the woman kneeling on the ground and said: "This is the right person.
Is she the Jade Lady?"
The person kneeling on the ground was none other than Deng Yuniang. When she raised her head and saw Luo Mingxiang, she was also startled.
Deng Yuniang's face doesn't seem to have changed much, but it doesn't make people tell at a glance that she looks similar to Luo Mingxiang. She also put some effort into dressing up, so it doesn't look very imaginary.
"Mother, why is she here?" Luo Junyao asked.
Su Shi said: "She told the people around her that she wanted to see Ming Xiang. I originally wanted to..." She didn't want her daughter to see this woman, so she wanted to take care of it herself. Who would have expected that the two of them would come back so soon.
These days, Deng Yuniang is surrounded by people from the Regent's Palace, so she can naturally pass the message to the Luo family.
Luo Mingxiang's expression was a little complicated. He looked at the woman kneeling on the ground, shook his head and said, "Get up and talk."
Deng Yuniang stood up slowly. She was a little older than Luo Mingxiang, and her abdomen could already be seen.
Deng Yuniang looked at Luo Mingxiang with an equally complicated mood. After a while, she said: "I did what the Princess Regent asked me to do, but... I changed my mind and wanted to ask the Princess Regent to do it."
Luo Mingxiang said: "You are looking for me? Why don't you tell me directly?"
Deng Yuniang didn't say anything. She really wanted to see Luo Mingxiang.
"What do you want?" Luo Mingxiang asked.
Deng Yuniang said: "I want to leave Shangyong."
"Huh?" Luo Junyao was a little surprised, "You won't marry Xu Zhaolin?"
Deng Yuniang smiled bitterly and said: "Even if the princess can really force the Xu family to marry me, how long can I live after marrying her?"
Why did the Xu family marry the eldest daughter of the Luo family? And why did Xu Zhaolin still kneel at the gate of the Luo family to beg for forgiveness even though the eldest daughter of the Luo family was kidnapped on her wedding day and even though she had been humiliated in the past few days?
Before Deng Yuniang was brought in from the corner gate, the carriage passed by the gate and happened to see Xu Zhaolin kneeling on the ground. Also, when the two sides went to court a few days ago, Mrs. Chun Anbo tried her best to push everything on her. She was thinking about it.
Under such circumstances, the lover finally showed his true face. Although his words were not as unpleasant as Mrs. Chun'anbo's, how could a woman like Deng Yuniang not understand the meaning behind his words?
It was she who shamelessly seduced the young Prince Chun'an, and it was she who used this excuse to threaten Xu Zhaolin so that he did not dare to leave her. Everything was her fault, a cunning and promiscuous woman, and Chun, who was born in a noble family and was well-educated.
How could Prince Amber be wrong? He was just too young and others deceived him.
Regarding Xu Zhaolin, Deng Yuniang did not dare to say that she was truly new and whole-hearted without any distracting thoughts, but she asked herself that she had never felt sorry for Xu Zhaolin before.
Xu Zhaolin fell in love with her when he first met her, and he often went to see her after that. The two soon fell in love, and she was reluctant to let him spend huge sums of money just to see her, and she also didn't want to see other guests.
I don't know how many times my mother took care of me, and I spent almost all of my private life to redeem myself, just because he said he wanted to marry her.
In fact, she may not have known that his words could never be fulfilled. At first, she just thought that as long as they could be together, it would be better to be an aunt than to be a prostitute.
Later, when he married the eldest daughter of the Luo family, she was naturally extremely sad and angry and refused to see him. He said that he would tell her to take her in after the eldest daughter Luo gave birth to his eldest son.
But she didn't want to find out that she was pregnant not long after. She didn't want her child to be an ectopic son, so she quarreled with him again. It happened that Miss Luo also became pregnant every few days. At that time, he was not only sincere but also impulsive.
, saying that the lives of the two children were not much different, and when Miss Luo gave birth to the child, he would try to take the child to Mrs. Chun Anbo to raise, and then exchange the two children.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! When she can get in, she will take Miss Luo's child back to the Xu family. At that time, they will try to get a new identity for her, saying that the child is
She was born to her ex-husband.
She was startled by the idea at the time, but she couldn't deny that she was really moved. Her child was also the grandson of Chun'an Bo Mansion, so why should he be looked down upon by others?
This may be retribution. She has never done anything to feel sorry for others in her life, and she ended up in this situation just by having such thoughts.
The entire Chun'an residence is looking forward to the Luo family's support. What qualifications and abilities does she have to compete with the eldest daughter of the Luo family?
If Xu Zhaolin was not good, the eldest daughter of the Luo family would just leave him alone, but Xu Zhaolin would kneel down at the door of his house and beg for forgiveness.
When she stood in the Jingzhao Yamen, she even thought that if Xu Zhaolin didn't know those things at all, as long as Xu Zhaolin had the slightest love for her, she would risk her life to speak back. In front of the Yamen adults and so many people, the Regent's Palace and the Luo family
It may not be possible to stop her on the spot.
Unfortunately, Xu Zhaolin disappointed her.
At that moment, she also understood that the Princess Regent had no intention of giving her any other choice. If she really entered the Xu family, she would die.
Luo Junyao looked at Deng Yuniang, "You are quite smart, but don't blame me for being cruel. If you were just raised by Xu Zhaolin in the outer room, I would only find Xu Zhaolin and not you. Who made you want to replace my eldest sister?
Where is the child?"
Deng Yuniang's face changed, and she gritted her teeth and said, "I didn't! I refused! He...he just said it on impulse, and didn't really want to..." It wasn't that she didn't want to, but that she couldn't.
What Xu Zhaolin said when he was passionate was too low to be true. She was no longer the beautiful lady she was when she first followed Xu Zhaolin. What's more, it didn't take long for the capital to spread the news that the two children of the Liu family had been replaced by their wet nurses.
The Liu family's nanny didn't receive much punishment, but she didn't dare to bet on whether the Luo family would let them go if they failed.
Some days later, Xu Zhaolin told her that he had a new method.
On the day Luo Mingxiang gave birth, they would try to put their child at the door of the Xu family and make some noise. At that time, Mrs. Chun Anbo would come forward and leave the child to be raised by the Xu family, saying that it was for the new baby.
The grandson does good deeds. If she enters the palace in two years, she can naturally raise the child by herself. If she still doesn't succeed, let Luo Mingxiang adopt the child as an adopted son. Although it is not as good as the biological status of the Xu family, it is more prestigious than the foreign wife.
It sounds much better.
Luo Jun shook his head and said, "No, he thought about it. You two talked about this in private. You didn't tell us, and neither did he. So how do you think I knew about it?"
Deng Yuniang's expression changed, and Luo Junyao sighed and said, "He did change his mind. Not long after the New Year, he gave up his mind and sent the person who prepared it far away. But since he wants to check him,
Of course, we need to investigate more carefully and thoroughly."
Deng Yuniang lowered her head and said sadly: "I have fallen into the hands of the princess, and there is nothing the princess can do with me."
Luo Junyao smiled, turned to look at Luo Mingxiang and asked, "Sister, what do you want to do?"
Luo Mingxiang said: "You can leave if you want."
Deng Yuniang raised her head in surprise. She did not expect that Luo Mingxiang would really let her go.
Luo Mingxiang said: "I have no grudge against you. Since you helped me expose Xu Zhaolin's true face, we are now clean."
Deng Yuniang looked deeply at Luo Mingxiang for a while, then bowed deeply to her and said: "Thank you Miss Luo for your magnanimity. I promise that I will never step into Shangyong Temple again in this life."
Luo Junyao asked: "Where do you want to go after leaving Shangyong?"
Deng Yuniang said: "My hometown is Yongzhou, and I want to go back."
Luo Junyao thought for a while and said, "The world is not stable now. I will send someone to take you back."
"Thank you, Princess." Deng Yuniang did not refuse. No matter whether the Princess Regent was worried and wanted to send someone to watch her or something else, she could at least ensure that she returned to her hometown safely.
The regent princess was right. The world is not stable now, and it is not safe for her as a pregnant woman to travel alone. What's more, she can't guarantee that the Xu family will not cause trouble for her again.
Deng Yuniang was sent away soon. Luo Junyao looked at Luo Mingxiang and said, "Sister, do you really not blame this Deng Yuniang?"
Luo Mingxiang shook his head and said with a smile: "What's the blame? I...I'm not lucky. It's better to know now than to know ten or eight years later." She actually wanted to say that she was blind and didn't see it, but she was afraid of getting hurt.
After touching my mother's heart, I changed my explanation.
But she was telling the truth. If she found out about this ten years later, she might really give Xu Zhaolin a knife directly.
Mrs. Su was very ashamed of her daughter. How could she not understand after hearing these words? She even hated herself for being so blind that she could not see the true face of the Xu family.
Mrs. Su reached out and held her daughter's hand and said, "You may as well let Deng Yuniang go, but these people are not worthy of your attention." If you didn't really think about it, how could you be so free and easy? Those first wives who tried their best to torture the concubines.
Madam, in addition to not wanting the concubine to threaten your status, the more important thing is that you can't get over the hurdle?
Mrs. Su could only be glad in her heart that her daughter did not fall headlong into Xu Zhaolin, a hypocrite.
As expected by Luo Mingxiang, the Xu family did not send He Lishu the next day, and Xu Zhaolin still knelt at the gate of the Luo family to apologize.
On the third day, Uncle Chun'an personally escorted Xu Zhaolin to the door. However, when they arrived at Luo's house, they were told that his wife and the eldest lady were not at home and had gone to Jingzhao Yamen.
Uncle Chun'an and his son suddenly felt bad. When they returned home, they were informed that someone was coming from the Jingzhao Yamen. The eldest son of the Luo family, accompanied by Mrs. Luo and Miss Luo, reported to the Yamen that the Xu family had cheated on their marriage, and they also intended to exchange Miss Luo's unborn child.
My son, please ask Chun Anbo and the Crown Prince to go to the Yamen to confront you.
When Chun Anbo heard the bad news, he turned to look at Xu Zhaolin. When he saw the look on his face, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot.
"What a curse! What a curse!" Why did he have such a curse? How did the Xu family feel sorry for him?
Since he was a child, all the resources of the Xu family have been close to him, and the reason why he proposed marriage was not forced by his family. In order to get Madam Luo to agree to the marriage, he, Madam and even the old Madam had put a lot of effort into it, so Miss Luo was nothing.
An arrogant and arrogant person, what else could he be dissatisfied with? Why would he want to harm the Xu family like this?
"You..." Chun Anbo pointed at Xu Zhaolin with trembling fingers and roared: "Get out of here! The Xu family does not have descendants like you!"
No matter how reluctant Chun Anbo was, he still had to face the summons from Jingzhao Yamen.
Jing Zhaoyin is also straightforward and neat. As the saying goes, it is difficult for an upright official to resolve family matters, but this type of case can be easily resolved as long as one party is ruthless and has solid evidence.
The most fearful thing is that one party obviously has evidence but is reluctant to cut it off, and the yamen is used as a tool for bickering between the two parties. You are enforcing the law impartially, and then the couple gets back together again. The people will not say anything about this couple.
, maybe I can even make up a few good stories, and later say that the government's punishments are harsh and unreasonable.
According to the "Dasheng Tonglu", if a woman cheats into marriage, her father will punish her with fifty rods, and she will serve for three years. After returning the bride price, the woman cannot take away the dowry when she returns home. If a man cheats into marriage, his father will punish him with fifty rods, and he will serve for five years.
.The bride price will not be refunded when the woman returns home.
The reason for this difference is that in the eyes of the world, a woman's marriage is entirely decided by her parents. Even if she cheats on the marriage, the responsibility lies entirely with her parents. Moreover, it is extremely difficult for a woman to get married after she has been divorced and her reputation has been ruined.
It's a big punishment.
Because Luo Mingxiang was resolute and obviously had no intention of reconciling with Xu Zhaolin, Jing Zhaoyin adjudicated the case very quickly.
Chun'an Bo didn't know anything about it, so he just punished him with fifty canes and was exempted from prison terms.
Xu Zhaolin and Mrs. Chun'anbo each received fifty punishments. Mrs. Chun'anbo deceived her husband for five years. Previously, Deng Yuniang accused Mrs. Chun'anbo of intending to kill someone, but she accidentally encountered a gangster and misunderstood her, so she was not punished.
Xu Zhaolin defrauded the marriage, intending to replace his legitimate wife with the son born from an extramarital affair, but he did not execute it and gave up on his own.
Xu Zhaolin was sentenced to sever the marriage relationship with the Luo family. The child in Luo Mingxiang's belly belonged to the Luo family and had nothing to do with the Xu family.
After reading out the verdict, Jing Zhaoyin shook his head and asked, "Do both parties have any objections to my verdict?"
Luo Jinyan turned his head to look at Luo Mingxiang. Luo Mingxiang lowered his eyes and said, "The daughter of the people has no objections. Thank you for judging the case impartially."
Jing Zhaoyin nodded with satisfaction. He also felt that he was not taking sides. It would be great if the Luo family was satisfied.
If the Luo family pressed for a harsh sentence, he would have no choice.
"Chun'an Bo Mansion, do you have any objections?"
Chun Anbo's face looked haggard at this time, he just shook his head and said nothing.
Mrs. Chun Anbo, who was being escorted to her knees on the ground, had a face full of unwillingness. She stretched out her hand to pull the hem of Luo Mingxiang's skirt, "Mingxiang, why are you so cruel?! Isn't our family treating you badly these days? Come on, follow me.
Sir, please say something nice."
Luo Mingxiang looked at her calmly and said nothing. Xu Zhaolin's face was full of pain, "Mingxiang, are you really unwilling to give me a chance? Our relationship as husband and wife these days, you..."
Luo Mingxiang said: "I gave you a chance yesterday."
Xu Zhaolin remained silent.
Yesterday? Ask him to send He Lishu over this morning. What kind of opportunity is this?
How could she be so cruel? He was just confused when he was young, and he secretly regretted it a long time ago. He wanted to live a good life with her.
"Mingxiang, I know I was wrong." Xu Zhaolin begged: "I have wanted to tell you for a long time, but I just don't know how to say it. Please forgive me!"
Luo Mingxiang turned his head and said to Luo Jinyan and Mrs. Luo beside him: "Brother, mother, let's go."
They did not reconcile, but were directly sentenced to sever their marriage by the government. The government would naturally write a document severing the relationship, and she didn't even need to get the divorce letter.
Mrs. Su nodded solemnly, no longer looking at her former son-in-law who was full of remorse, and pulled her daughter out.
Jing Zhaoyin glanced at the people in the hall and said in a deep voice: "Drag him out and execute him!"
Looking at Chun Anbo with a blank expression, Jing Zhaoyin could not help but feel a little sympathy for him.
Even though he is exempted from the sentence of cheating in marriage, the real test of this Uncle Chun An is yet to come.
When something like this happened at home, it was obvious that Chun Anbo had failed to discipline him well.
In the past few days, people have been impeaching the Chun'an Bo Mansion, and the impeachment papers have been piled high on the regent's desk. Now that the Yamen's verdict has come out, the Chun'an Bo Mansion may also be over.
