Rebirth of marriage

But unexpectedly, he saw a scene that made his eyes split open and almost collapse. Her wife Qi Yunwei was disheveled, and her body was covered with traces of having sex with others.

And she was still asleep.

From the time he returned to the room to the time his wife woke up, it was an entire hour. He didn't know how he spent that hour. He thought so much that his heart seemed to burst and his brain seemed to burst.

He even thought about killing the adulterer, then his wife, and then committing suicide.

But when he saw the person on the bed showing signs of waking up, he quickly took off his clothes and held her in his arms.

Qi Yunwei asked in surprise when he came back, why she had no memory at all.

Her eyes were as clear as ever, but there was a bit of confusion in the clarity.

He turned her body around so that her back was facing him, and replied in a low voice, "While you are sleeping."

She noticed the discomfort in her body due to his actions, turned around and beat his chest in embarrassment, scolding him for drinking too much and acting like a fool, which made her exhausted, and ordered him not to drink so much next time. .

He apologized with a smile.

Qi Yunwei didn't have any doubts at all, and she coquettishly asked him to wash up with her as usual, saying that it would also wash away the smell of alcohol on his body.

He was not sure whether he could still control himself when faced with the marks all over her body, so he pretended to have a severe headache and rejected her.

While she was washing up, he warned the servants in the mansion and kept silent about the time of his return.

In the next two days, his face remained normal, but his heart was burning with flames. He pretended to accept the errand and wanted to leave Beijing, but in fact he couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart. He didn't know how to face her, and he even wanted to find out what happened that night behind her back. thing.

The results that can be found are even more disheartening.

The man that night turned out to be Qi Yunwei's groom from the uncle's house to the prince's house.

He was a dignified prince, no matter how unpopular he was, he was also the son of a dragon, and his princess was actually defiled by a groom.

One of her maids was also involved. After tampering with her soothing incense, she lured another maid away to help the groom succeed.

They were all sons of the uncle's family. Although they followed their dowry to the palace, their families were still in the uncle's house. Between their family's lives and their master, they chose to betray their master.

And these were all instructed by the Cao family behind their backs, in order to make their husband and wife discord and wait for him to divorce his wife.

However, none of them expected that he would hide the matter and pretend as if nothing had happened.

So, they wanted the maid to tell her the truth, so he pushed the maid into the lake and managed to kill the other maid and the groom.

Three people died in the house, and they were all people close to her. She was aware of it.

He sent people to spread the news that the mansion was haunted, and he sold most of the servants in the mansion by using their gossips to spread rumors about ghosts and gods.

Because of his kindness, he did not kill all the servants, and all of them fell into the hands of the Cao family.

But in fact, he knew very well that he could block the mouths of the servants in the house, the Cao family and the uncle's house, and the people who invited him to drink. Even the waiters in the restaurant knew when he left. As long as the Cao family If a little bit of news is released, the matter will not stand up to scrutiny.

When the Cao family found him and expressed their desire to support him in his rise to power, he understood that to agree to the Cao family, he would need to divorce his wife, but Qi Yunwei could still live.

If he didn't agree, tomorrow the whole capital would know that his princess had an affair with the groom, Qi Yunwei would not survive, and he and his son would become the laughing stock of the whole capital.

But how could he be willing to accept the Cao family's scheme against him? He thought about fighting them to the death, but in a real fight, he, the fish, would die, but the Cao family's strong net might not be broken.

He thought about asking the late Emperor who was seriously ill for help, but because his brothers were fighting to the death and the whole capital was in turmoil, it was hard for him to even see the late Emperor's face. Even if he did, would the late Emperor help him punish the Cao family? Not necessarily, but he will definitely kill Qi Yunwei first, who has insulted the reputation of the royal family.

He also thought of many ways, and even thought of escaping the capital as a family and going to a place where no one knew them, to live an ordinary life.

But Qi Yunwei is pregnant.

He found out about it before she knew it. He found a familiar imperial doctor and wanted to secretly abort the child. However, she was injured during the pregnancy and would lose her life if she gave birth to another child. risks of.

The fact that she was defiled by the groom was still weighing on his mind and he could not get over it. How could he accept the groom's child in the future and call him "Father"? He was made a bastard, but he still had to raise someone else's evil seed.

He couldn't do it, abandoning his royal identity, risking his escape, and spending the rest of his life living with that child every day.

And the Cao family held this handle like a bloody knife hanging over his head. The blood on the knife fell on his heart, always reminding him of his incompetence, humiliation, and resentment.

Both of them were born into the royal family. Because his mother came from a lowly background, he had never really enjoyed the treatment of a prince since he was a child. Even when he was granted the title of prince by the eldest branch, it was he who worked hard to make the late emperor remember that he had such a son, so he He casually sealed himself as a free king.

With the same father, his brothers were titled Rui, Xian and other titles that held high hopes, so why was his just a random word?

He had a hard time ahead, but when he met Qi Yunwei and Gu Xiao, he finally felt that God was treating him well. He was not willing to accept that he, a royal prince, was being manipulated by his ministers.

"So, you colluded with them, and allowed them to take their nephew to the mother-in-law's room, and let them accuse the mother-in-law of being unclean." Gu Xiao's eyes were red, and every word came out of his throat with difficulty. Extruded.

In the emperor's view, what happened back then was a shame that he didn't want to recall, but Gu Xiao forced him to have to mention the old things again in front of his son, which was already very embarrassing.

Hearing Gu Xiao's accusations again, he was furious with shame and anger, "Do you remember what was going on in Prince Xian's Mansion back then? I had no official position and no decent guards, so how could I stop him?

If I don't take this position, our family will be destroyed as well. Your mother-in-law will only die more miserably, and you will grow up with her stigma.

I know you have hated me all these years, but what can I do?Tell me, what would you do if you were me? "

Some grievances have been suppressed in his heart for many years. Before Gu Xiao could speak, he added, "The Cao family is hateful. I don't think about making them pay the price for a moment. Is it only the Cao family that is wrong?

No, your mother and concubine are at fault, I am at fault, you are also at fault, the late emperor and the others are even more wrong. Your mother and concubine are wrong because they cannot even tell whether their dowry maid is loyal or traitorous. What is wrong is that she trusts the uncle in everything. .

My mistake was that I was timid, cowardly, and had no ambition. I just wanted to survive and did not dare to plan or fight. As a result, I achieved nothing and eventually became a piece of meat on Cao's chopping board.

And you, you have obviously been staying with us before and refused to go back to your own yard. Why did you go back to your own yard to sleep that night and took away Nanny Wu and two guards? If you were also there In the yard, those cheap slaves can't succeed.

The late emperor's mistake was that he treated his children unfairly and allowed the princes to fight among themselves. He thought that in this way, he could compete for outstanding kings to continue his empire, but he did not want the princes to die and be disabled, and Cao Cao The mouse hiding in the gutter at home grew into a huge mouse.

His mistake was that the good country fell into pieces in his hands. In the end, he left this mess to me, but left the life-saving Black Feather Guard to Prince Gong. "

He pointed to the door of the secret room like crazy, "Did you know that in those early years, I was under the surveillance of the Cao family day and night, but I didn't even dare to say a word casually. You blame me for not protecting you. I How can I protect you when I am a clay Bodhisattva crossing the river?

Your mother-in-law went crazy not entirely because of me, but because she learned the truth and couldn't accept it. "

Gu Xiao was constantly breaking out in cold sweat, his hands began to tremble a little, and then it spread all over his body. He could hear the loud heartbeat in his ears, and some memories suddenly became particularly clear.

It was the maid next to his mother and concubine who coaxed him. The prince has grown up and is a man. It is time to go back to his own courtyard, otherwise other young masters will find out in the future and they will make fun of the prince.

He wanted to be a man who stood upright, so he reluctantly returned to his courtyard. His mother-in-law did not trust him and sent Nanny Wu and the guards to his courtyard.

He followed the emperor's words and thought about it all the way. It turned out that he was also responsible for the murder of his mother and concubine.

His chest was filled with guilt and remorse. When he could hardly bear it, the gentle voice of Xie Jiu sounded in his mind. Ah Xiao, no matter what the truth is, he failed to fulfill his duties as a father.

He also failed in his duties as a husband.

Gu Xiao's thoughts suddenly became clear, and he bit out a sentence from his blood-drained lips, "You lied!"
