Song Wan'er didn't expect that her aunt walked out from behind the screen, and she was her father's concubine. She was even more angry because her father actually allowed a concubine to come to the study and point fingers! This was simply too much!
"My father is really kind to my aunt! He let her take charge of the house for the first two years. Although he later took back the power of running the house, if my aunt's food and clothing expenses are ranked second in this house, no one can be ranked first.
! Being able to do this as a concubine is considered a skill! No wonder the aunt actually encouraged her father to let Song Qiao marry into the Li family as Teng's concubine! It turned out that she actually wanted to let Song Qiao
Will you also imitate my aunt in the future? Haha, what a pity, I, Song Wan'er, am not a mother, and I will not give my future husband a chance to spoil his concubine and destroy his wife!"
Song Wan'er's words made the face of the aunt who was supporting Duke Ding change. But at the same time, Duke Ding became even more angry! He actually reached out and pushed his concubine away, and slapped her.
Song Wan'er's face!
After the beating, Duke Dingguo himself was stunned! Although she was partial to Song Qiao, she had never spanked a child in the past ten years! Unexpectedly, now, she would slap a child who was about to get married.
On my daughter’s face!
Song Wan'er did not miss the look of pride in her aunt's eyes. She forced back the tears in her eyes, bit her lips and said with a sad look on her face, "Father, you actually treat your daughter like this for the sake of a concubine and a concubine? Okay.
!My daughter wrote it down today!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Song Wan'er ran out of Dingguo Duke's Mansion. Not long after, she got on the carriage and went to Anding Marquis' Mansion.
Along the way, Song Wan'er didn't cry, she gritted her teeth and held back the tears! But as soon as she saw Su Xiyue, the tears couldn't stop falling! After hearing her intermittently finished words, she felt angry.
Ask people to invite King Rui and Li Bing.
"This Lord Dingguo, I really doubt that his mind has been kicked by the horse in your palace? What does he want to do? To force a concubine who is despised by everyone into my general's palace? Do you really think so?
Am I easy to bully? Putting aside this, isn’t Wan’er her biological daughter? I really don’t understand how such a man could sit in the position of Duke Dingguo for so many years.
?”
Prince Rui pursed his lips, his gaze always falling lightly on Su Xiyue.
"Song Qiao cannot be forced into the General's Mansion. Even if Song Waner agrees, the General's Mansion cannot agree! Duke Ding wants to take this opportunity to save the remaining dignity of the Duke's Mansion. Also, there is
In order for Song Qiao to have a decent destination, it’s really biased!" Su Xiyue shook her head and said.
"Yue'er, why do you think I have such a father? Did I say the words "loving concubines and destroying wives" wrong? That's simply too much! Mother cares about the three of us brothers and sisters, no?
I am willing to reconcile with him, but this does not mean that the three of us will have to leave everything to him! If mother knew that father had this idea, she would definitely not agree. "
"Sister Wan'er, what I'm worried about now is, will the concubine in your house instigate Duke Ding to regret this marriage? After all, he is the head of the family. If he doesn't agree,
, your marriage will never happen!"
When Li Bing heard this, he became anxious! "You mean, he will use this to blackmail Wan'er? If Wan'er doesn't agree, he won't agree to Wan'er marrying me?"
Su Xiyue nodded, "That's true. So, we have to think of a way now to save your marriage." As she said this, her eyes were turned to Prince Rui, no doubt trying to fight.
His idea!
King Rui snorted coldly and said a little unhappy, "What do you want me to do?"
"Your Majesty is indeed smart." Su Xiyue said with a smile, "After all, you are the only one here who can find a way to silence Duke Dingguo."
Listening to Su Xiyue's somewhat joking flattery, Prince Rui was still in a good mood and slightly curved his lips, "Do you want me to put pressure on the Duke of Dingguo?"
"The first is this! The second is that it is best to go to the palace and ask Concubine Hua to issue a decree granting marriage."
"Why Concubine Hua?" Both Li Bing and Song Wan'er were puzzled. Prince Rui looked at Su Xiyue thoughtfully. Seeing a faint smile on her face, he naturally understood.
Is this girl thinking of joining forces with Concubine Hua?
"This is easy to handle. I will enter the palace immediately. Concubine Hua asked the emperor to take back the right to co-manage the Sixth Palace. The fourth princess is confined to Luohuaxuan. You will find an opportunity." There was some reproach in King Rui's words.
With deep affection.
"If not, our situation may not be good. Since the prince has guessed what I am thinking, please invite me as soon as possible. Things will change later. The aunt in Duke Dingguo's Mansion is not an economical person.
lights.”
"Don't worry. I'm afraid the house number of Duke Dingguo's Mansion will be changed." King Rui left these words, stood up and left.
Song Wan'er listened, and it took her a long time to regain her composure, "Sister Yue'er, what does the prince mean by this? Does this mean that he wants to take action against our Duke's palace?"
"Don't worry! You also know that the emperor has been very dissatisfied with Duke Dingguo in recent years. Otherwise, based on your status, I am afraid that you would have been vying for the title of princess by the King of Qin and others! Sometimes!
, receiving some punishment is not necessarily a bad thing."
Song Wan'er didn't understand it, she just felt that Su Xiyue's words were specious, which made her lose her mind.
"Wan'er, my cousin is right! Sometimes, the emperor's punishment and relegation may be an opportunity!"
When Song Wan'er heard Li Bing say the same thing, she fell silent and began to think calmly about their Dingguo Palace.
In the morning of the next day, some people impeached Duke Ding for his slackness and corruption over the years. Some of the imperial censors accused him of nepotism and actually favored his concubine's brother and nephew. They even directly mentioned the Song Qiao incident in the court.
The people in the main hall were trembling, accusing him of being incompetent in running the family, spoiling his concubines and destroying his wives, etc.
In fact, it has been known to everyone in the capital that Duke Dingguo has doted on his concubines for many years, but they did not expect that today there would be a collective outburst!
Every piece of evidence was well-documented. Naturally, the emperor was furious at Long Yan and issued an order on the spot to abolish the title of Duke Dingguo! From then on, there was no longer a Duke Dingguo palace in Beijing.
The emperor's anger was what the ministers had already thought of, but they didn't expect that the emperor would be so decisive and directly abolish the title of Duke Dingguo? This was the first time since the founding of Daqing that there was no other incident.
If you are demoted, your title will be taken back directly!
However, King Rui stood up and said a few good words for Duke Dingguo's government. He also mentioned the talents of Duke Dingguo's eldest son and his younger brothers many times. This made the emperor's anger gradually weaken! Otherwise, the emperor's anger gradually weakened!
, no one has the slightest doubt that Duke Dingguo’s official position, let alone being demoted, may not even be able to become a seventh-grade official!
