The reborn beauty is pregnant again and again
Chapter 686: The Coveted Minister's Wife 35
All the people in Biluo Zhai disappeared overnight like air, which did not arouse many people's suspicion. After all, these people were all slaves.
However, the emperor seldom set foot in Guanju Palace these days, which made those sharp-eyed people feel uneasy.
However, most people still do their work peacefully as before. After all, the Imperial Concubine Chen and the Emperor have been at odds for a long time. But in the end, the Emperor always gives in and coaxes the Imperial Concubine. In fact, the Imperial Concubine is quite capable of disciplining the Emperor.
Moreover, in recent days, the Queen went to the Imperial Study to see the Emperor many times, but was blocked by the Eunuch Liu Rong who was beside the Emperor.
Therefore, the clever palace people thought that although they didn't know what had happened, it was better to keep things under control.
In Liuxiang Palace, the Fourth Prince knelt on the ground and allowed Empress Xu to scold him, and he was absolutely 100% sure not to talk back or fight back.
Empress Xu was not afraid of beating him up like Concubine Chen did, but scolding was inevitable.
However, after scolding her, Empress Xu was still not satisfied. She pointed at the Fourth Prince and said, "Why are you so impatient? Do you think your father doesn't know that you did such a thing? He just didn't say it. One day, you will be punished."
The fourth prince Wei Shaoxuan seemed to not care at all. "Mother, it's okay. In this matter, I was two points wrong, and the fifth prince was eight points wrong. Father can always distinguish the important from the unimportant."
"Besides," said the Fourth Prince, "I have never thought of hiding this matter. Everyone in the world knows that my father's promising sons are only me and the fifth prince. The future throne will be either mine or his. But there is only one throne, and who will get it depends on who has the ability." When the Fourth Prince said this, his face darkened for no reason.
Empress Xu's eyes also turned red as she listened. They both knew that the emperor actually cared more about Concubine Chen of Guanju Palace and her son, the Fifth Prince. If they did not fight for it, it would be almost the same as handing over the throne to someone else.
Now the arrow is on the string and has to be shot. Otherwise, what awaits them in the future is either imprisonment or poisoned wine.
Even the Xu family will face a devastating disaster.
"It's all mother's fault." Empress Xu seldom shed tears, but today she cried.
The fourth prince's eyes also turned red. He quickly stepped forward and hugged his mother. "My mother did nothing wrong. She raised me with great difficulty and has done a good enough job. Being born into an imperial family, everything is set in stone at birth. If you don't want to die, you have to fight. No one can change that."
Jiang Nanqiu still knows nothing about anything in the palace.
On the contrary, after she returned home with the imperial edict of divorce, both Jiang's father and mother, as well as her brother and sister-in-law, cried with joy.
Even though the Jiang family had occupied almost the top 15 positions among the merchants in Kyoto after so many years of operation, a declining family like the Pei family could still find some connections to put pressure on them.
Pei Shao did such a thing, but he could still control the Jiang family to such an extent.
In order to completely cut off contact with the Pei family, the Jiang family spent nearly 100,000 taels of silver to buy the Pei family's old house and a farm outside Kyoto, and changed the records of Pei's mother and the first and second wives at the government office. The county magistrate wrote two copies of the agreement, stamped it with the county seal and their own handprints, and kept them separately. Only then did they truly have no connection with the Pei family.
This matter had long been spread all over the streets. Everyone said that the Jiang family had suffered a great loss, and Lianqiu served her young lady every day, full of reluctance and grievance.
"What a bargain - those vampires of the Pei family."
How could Jiang Nanqiu not know this? However, no one knew that she did all this on purpose. Because, in the previous life, the Mu Palace, which had some good relations with the Pei family, was exterminated for the crime of corruption. At that time, those officials who had good relations with the Mu Palace were not spared.
The Pei Mansion was like an eagle flying in the sunset, with no one able to protect them. Although no one died, all their properties were confiscated, and even the house they lived in was lost.
In their previous life, they endured the most difficult days in the Pei family’s old house and the farm outside Beijing.
Jiang Nanqiu had always been loyal to the Pei family. Later, he used all his own money to help the Pei family make a comeback.
But in this life, Jiang Nanqiu will never be so stupid again.
However, even if the Pei family knew their future fate, they probably wouldn't have time to think about things in the distant future, because they were in a mess right now.
It turned out that when Jiang Nanqiu was around, the eldest wife of the Pei family opened a small door on the outside of her yard to express her affection for Jiang Nanqiu, and she also begged Jiang Nanqiu to open a door on the outer wall of the yard as well, so that the sisters-in-law could move around more freely and be closer to each other.
In fact, where is there so much time for intimacy! After all, even in the uncle's family, there are not only legitimate wives and legitimate children. There are also many concubines and illegitimate sons and daughters. Opening such a door is just more direct and convenient when you don't have enough money and need to cry poor to Jiang Nanqiu for it.
Jiang Nanqiu did not refuse in this life.
Seeing the first wife do this, the second wife followed suit. Jiang Nanqiu did not refuse.
It will be difficult to live frugally if you feed the first and second wives’ appetites too much, so that their future lives will be easier!
But now, Jiang Nanqiu and the Pei family have completely broken up, and the first and second branches of the Pei family decisively blocked the door, turning it back into the original wall.
However, even though the door turned into a wall and was airtight, the dispute in the mansion still leaked out verbatim, causing everyone to talk about it.
The reason was that Jiang Nanqiu gave the Pei family 100,000 taels of silver almost for free in order to completely break off ties with the Pei family.
