Newlyweds divorced: Marry a scumbag and his brother is sweet and have a baby

"Xuan!"

When Emperor Xuande heard Xie Huaijing's arrival, his eyes instantly relaxed.

Xie Huaijing stepped in, his eyes fell on Shen Yan first and gave her a reassuring look.

He moved to Emperor Xuande and saluted, "I have met the Emperor."

"Huai Jing hasn't come to the palace to see me for some days. Why are you free today?" Emperor Xuande asked.

"Your Majesty, I brought someone here today." Xie Huaijing said.

"Who?"

"The person is at the door, and the emperor will know about it immediately."

"Bring it in." As Emperor Xuande's voice fell, an old woman and a little boy walked in tremblingly.

The two of them didn't dare to raise their heads when they came in, and knelt down directly.

"Mom, little brother, why are you here?" Xiangxiang was shocked.

The old woman who heard the voice turned her head and looked at Xiangxiang, "Xiang'er, we all know what you did. We are all honest people. You can't do anything harmful to nature!"

Xiangxiang lowered her head when she heard the words, held her hands tightly, and then suddenly raised her head, "Mom, what are you talking about? My daughter has never done anything..."

"You still don't admit it?" The old woman stood up suddenly, slapped Xiangxiang's face, and cursed, "Mother sold you to keep you alive, not to let you do bad things. The prince has promised us that as long as you tell the truth, he will protect your life!"

The old woman advised earnestly, "Xiang'er, think about it carefully. Your mother and I are old. It doesn't matter whether we live or not. Your brother is still young. Can you bear to let him lose his life because of you?"

Xiangxiang knelt down with tears streaming down her face. She was riding a tiger now. If she didn't tell the truth, her family's life would be in danger. If she told the truth, the Prime Minister's Mansion would not let her go.

How could she have imagined that a loser like Shen Yan would have the support of Prince Zhennan.

Xie Huaijing was a well-known dandy in the capital, but Emperor Xuande still doted on him. For such a person to kill her as a maid is like squeezing an ant to death.

"Xiangxiang, I know you were forced. As long as you tell the person behind the scenes, I won't hold you accountable." Shen Yan said.

"Sister, are you trying to induce a confession?" Shen Qingqing asked.

Shen Yan shouted, "Shut up!"

Shen Qingqing was so frightened by Shen Yan's sudden momentum that she forgot to refute.

Xiangxiang knew that whether she said anything today or not, she would die. Her eyes fell on her mother and little brother, and she made her final determination.

"be honest!"

"Xiangxiang!" Shen Qingqing stared at Xiangxiang.

"Miss, please don't embarrass my mother and younger brother because I have served you for many years. I will repay your kindness by working as a cow and a horse in the next life."

Xiangxiang looked at Shen Yan again and said, "Miss, everything was done by this slave. No one instigated this slave!"

After she finished speaking, she suddenly ran up and hit a pillar on the side, causing her head to bleed immediately.

"Xiang'er!"

"elder sister!"

The old woman and the little boy shouted loudly, the latter stayed put and the former ran towards Xiangxiang.

Eunuch Chen checked Xiangxiang's breath, and then reported to Emperor Xuande, "Your Majesty, I have run out of breath."

"Throw it out!" Emperor Xuande was quite angry.

Shen Jianzhang, the eldest princess and Shen Qingqing all breathed a sigh of relief. Once Xiangxiang died, there was no longer any evidence to accuse Shen Qingqing.

Although Xiangxiang took all the blame for the crime, it was impossible for a maid like her to harm Shen Yan for no reason.

Emperor Xuande already had the answer in his mind. However, once Xiangxiang died, there was no evidence, and he could not find anything if he continued to investigate.

He looked at Shen Qingqing with a stern expression, "Miss Shen, this maid belongs to you. The upper beam will be crooked if the lower beam is not straight! I will punish you to go back and copy the "Women's Rules" ten times. I will see it tomorrow morning, you Is it acceptable?"

"Brother Imperial, there are so many "Guidelines for Women", even if you don't eat or drink, you can't finish them in less than twelve hours!" The eldest princess begged.

"The eldest princess loves her daughter so much, why don't you and Miss Shen copy it together?" Emperor Xuande asked.

The eldest princess was so depressed that her face turned red and she couldn't say a word.

Shen Qingqing's face turned pale. When she came here, Emperor Xuande called her Qingqing, but now she calls her Miss Shen Er. She seemed really angry.

This was the first time she had been scolded by Emperor Xuande since she was a child. She felt her face was burning and she was completely humiliated!

Moreover, if she had to copy "Principles for Women" ten times in such a short period of time, her hands would probably become useless.

This is not the point. The point is that she was punished by Emperor Xuande, and this will be a stain that will accompany her throughout her life.

In the future, when the world talks about her, the most talented and beautiful woman in the capital, they will also talk about today's shame. Her life will never be perfect again.

The culprit who destroyed her beautiful life is Shen Yan, and she will definitely be at odds with him!

She lowered her head, eyes filled with murderous intent!

Soon, she hid all her emotions, without making any excuses, slowly raised her head and said, "Please, I obey."

She looked as if she had been greatly wronged.

When Emperor Xuande saw that Shen Qingqing was willing to be punished, his frown relaxed.

The eldest princess and Shen Jianzhang felt extremely distressed when they saw Shen Qingqing suffered such great humiliation. They looked at Shen Yan like knives, wishing to cut her into pieces.

After punishing Shen Qingqing, it was Shen Jianzhang's turn.

Emperor Xuande looked at Shen Jianzhang and spoke sternly, "Shen Jianzhang, as a father, you have no affection for your young, and you have not set a good example for the younger generation. As the prime minister of a country, you have ignored the king's laws and committed the crime of bullying the emperor. I think you are a first offender." , I’ll fine you half a year’s salary and slap you with ten major blows! Can you accept it?”

"Brother Imperial..." The eldest princess wanted to plead, but Emperor Xuande interrupted, "Eldest princess, don't even think about interceding for him. You have nothing to do with this matter!"

The eldest princess shut up unwillingly.

Shen Jianzhang knew that it would be bad for him if this matter escalated, so he immediately said, "I am willing to accept the punishment. Thank you Lord for your kindness!"

He originally wanted Shen Yan to die, but he didn't expect Shen Yan to live well. Instead, he was punished. It was really a waste of money.

When he meets his colleagues in the future, those who have long disliked him will inevitably make fun of him, which makes him feel terrible when he thinks about it.

Emperor Xuande looked at the eldest princess and said, "Elder princess, as a mistress, you don't care for the young, but instead rely on the strong to bully the weak. I will punish you to go back and face the wall for three days to think about your fault. Do you accept it?"

The eldest princess didn't want to make this matter a big deal, and the punishment of returning home to think about it was just a formality. She had the final say in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and no one knew whether she had thought about it or not.

"Accept the decree." The eldest princess answered somewhat perfunctorily.

Emperor Xuande's brows furrowed again, but he didn't say much. With the Queen Mother here, any punishment from his eldest princess would be stopped by the Queen Mother. In this case, it would be better to give her a reputation as a punishment.

This is the greatest fairness and justice that he, as an emperor, can give to his people.

A trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes.

This fleeting helplessness, together with the previous expression, all fell into Shen Yan's eyes.

At this moment, she felt a trace of sympathy for Emperor Xuande. Not any emperor could do whatever he wanted.

She saluted respectfully, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for giving me justice!"

Emperor Xuande saw the sincerity, gratitude and magnanimity in Shen Yan's eyes.

He was very familiar with this look, and his heart was lifted.

"Miss Shen, now that the matter is clear, you don't need to break off the engagement. I'll ask the third child to admit your mistake. How about you continue to be my royal wife?"

Many years ago, Emperor Xuande had taken a fancy to Shen Yan and wanted her to be his daughter-in-law.
