Northern Dynasties Imperial Industry

Young children don't know the truth about human relationships, and they only judge how close others are to them by how others treat them.

Li Ya often came to express condolences, and there were many gifts of food and drinks in the house. He was also very powerful. In Chen Shubao's eyes, he was a friendly and trustworthy person. And the man who was forced by Peng Niang to call him "father" was a stranger to him, and he acted arrogantly after entering the family. In his opinion, he was naturally a bad person.

Seeing her son running towards Li Ya, Ms. Liu no longer stood still. She bent down and picked up her son and held him in her arms. She then looked back at Yao Wan'er and said with an apologetic look: "I've been disturbed by my sins in the past, so I can't laugh at you." Outdoors. The lady is happy to have a good marriage, and she doesn’t need to suffer from this bad luck. Please go quickly and don’t watch my ugly behavior here.”

When Yao Wan'er heard what Mrs. Liu said, she felt that it was inconvenient to stay here, so she whispered to Mrs. Liu: "Madam, let's settle the family affairs in peace first. If anything is unresolved, we can send people to the house to inform us."

After that, she motioned to the two attendants to stay here, and she returned to the car.

As the carriage drove away from the door, Li Ya still stood motionless in the distance. Seeing this, Ms. Liu came forward and said softly: "General, what do you want to see if you stay here? Although I am as humble as an ant, I still want to show some dignity in the eyes of the general. …General, please go and don’t let Duke Tang teach you.”

After hearing this, Li Ya glanced at the lady's pleading eyes again, and then walked away.

In the courtyard, Chen Xu secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Madam Liu sending all the people away. When he saw Madam Liu returning home with her son in her arms, he frowned and said in a deep voice: "I thought the lady was a If you are from a famous family, you should be wise in raising your children. Unexpectedly, he is so stupid! If I don't find him again, this bad boy will find a thief as his father!"

Mrs. Liu ignored Chen Xu's rebuke. She first put her son aside who was still shivering, then turned around and closed the courtyard door before leading her son back into the room. Peng Niang also held her child in her arms and followed Mrs. Liu into the room with her head lowered.

Chen Xu, who was left hanging in the courtyard, was naturally displeased, so he also stepped into the room, looked at Mrs. Liu and frowned and said, "Ma'am, are you acting like this because you blame me for abandoning your mother and son in Jiangling? Or maybe it's because of the previous marriage. What's the point of resenting me for staying away from me?

The reason why Jiangling was not defended was due to Emperor Liang's incompetence. Are there intact eggs under the overturned nest? I was also deeply affected! As for the reason for the letter of divorce, doesn’t the lady know? You have brought evil karma upon yourself, and it has actually affected me. You have been trapped in a prison, and you have been forced by enemy generals. Your life has been in danger several times. It is difficult to tell this woman about the danger! "

Mrs. Liu was still silent, but the more Chen Xu thought about it, the more he felt aggrieved. However, he still asked for help from this woman, so he controlled his emotions again, slowed down his tone and continued: "The past is in the past, so don't say more. It's useless. Today, we are still together, and our relationship is still intact. My uncle sent an envoy to Wei to make peace, and you and your son need to be treated with dignity when they return to my family. There is no need to cling to anyone in the past. Right and wrong, don’t mention it again!”

At this point, he pointed at Peng Niang and said: "Go and pack your luggage quickly! Just throw away all the sundries. My uncle and Tang Gong both have gifts. Even if you don't live in Jingzhao Villa, you can still Find a big house in Beijing to live in peace and quiet."

When Peng Niang heard this, she nodded in agreement subconsciously. However, before she could take any action, she heard Mrs. Liu say: "Peng Niang, please lead the child to the inner room and don't come out!"

Peng Niang looked confused after hearing this, but after a moment she lowered her head to avoid Chen Xu's angry eyes, led the two children back to the room and closed the door.

"The right and wrong of old matters must be discussed clearly before they can be settled clearly. In the old years of Jiangling, the king was not white, and the country was overthrown, but he said he was not guilty? The king served the country with his talents, and the concubine served the king with her body. If the country was not defended, the family was ruined. If you die in the city, I will die in the house. If you lose your integrity, I will lose your virginity..."

When Chen Xu heard this, he frowned, stamped his feet and shouted angrily: "Lost your virginity? Is that thief really using force to humiliate you?"

Mrs. Liu did not directly respond to this question, but continued to say calmly: "You are forced by others, and it is nothing more than surrendering when you are strong. I am a chaste woman, and you abandon me like a worn-out shoe. Now whether you are chaste or unchaste, I will do it to you." What's the matter? The concubine's child is still in the court, and the king's father is safe. If you come to the house to disturb me, what's the matter? If you still don't forgive me, I will be executed by you. "

Having said this, she took out a short blade with a length of more than a foot from under the table, placed it on the table, and then looked at Chen Xu with a determined look on her face.

When Chen Xu heard this, he felt ashamed and angry for a moment. He raised his leg and stepped on the table, pointed at Mrs. Liu and shouted angrily: "Whore, who taught you to be so tough!"

When Peng Niang heard the yelling and cursing in the room, she was also panicked. Just as she was about to open the door and run out, the two children were holding her legs and crying. She could only shout in a low voice: "Master, calm down, Master." Calm down your anger..."

Liu Jingyan did not flinch due to this roar. Instead, he pushed the short blade forward again and knelt down in the seat with a calm expression.

When Chen Xu saw this scene, his heart surged with anger, and his eyes wandered to the dagger and Liu several times. In the end, he walked out, but he did not leave there. He only wandered in the courtyard. When he saw Mrs. Yao leaving two servants looking at him, he couldn't help but feel more irritated and his brows furrowed deeper.

After a while, his mood gradually returned to calm, and his angry expression also subsided. He walked back to the room again, looked at Liu Jingyan who was still sitting in the seat, clasped his fists and bowed, and then said in a deep voice: "It's because of the past. I am rude to you, madam, please forgive me."

Seeing this change in his attitude, Liu Jingyan was stunned for a moment, but he didn't say anything and remained silent.

Chen Xu took a deep breath and continued, "My wife and I were not enemies. We became husband and wife because of the Liang Emperor's mismatch. My wife is a virtuous woman from a famous family. If it weren't for me, she would have enjoyed a good marriage in this life. The previous relationship has been cancelled, and it is indeed rude to disturb her again. But now I am trapped in a foreign country, isolated and helpless, and I can only ask my wife for help. My wife is now favored by Princess Xiangyang. If you can make a suggestion for me and let Lord Tang let me return to the south, I will be very grateful and will never bother you again!" Liu was originally given to Chen Xu by Liang Emperor Xiao Yi in order to win over his uncle Chen Baxian. He did not have much affection for this woman. Before, he wanted to make Liu obey his orders based on the relationship between husband and wife, but seeing that Liu was so determined to resist renewing the previous relationship, he stopped forcing her and turned to begging her. In the final analysis, his original intention was to return to Jiangdong. It was unknown whether the messenger Xu Ling really followed his uncle's wishes or had other hidden reasons, but he did not ask Tang Gongli for this matter. He could only work hard on his own. After all, even if he had to leave hostages here, his cousin Chen Chang was enough. There was really no point for him to stay here any longer. As long as he could return to Jiangdong, he didn't care whether Liu was willing to renew their relationship with him. Leaving this shallow shoal would be like a fish returning to the river and sea. At that time, he could roam freely, and a real man would never worry about not having a wife! Seeing that Liu frowned and said nothing, Chen Xu continued, "The reason why you don't want to return to my school must be related to General Li Ya. If you can marry him, it would be a good match. But my child is not as good as being raised in his father's family? If I continue to stay here, my son is just a prisoner's son living under someone else's roof. If he can go back to Jiangdong with me, he will be invaluable! Madam, can you bear to ruin my child's future for your own selfish desire?"

"But the princess pity my son and me because we are weak and helpless, so how can I make suggestions based on this and be greedy!" After hearing this, Liu shook her head and refused.

Chen Xu had been suppressing his anger while communicating with the woman. Hearing that she was still so pedantic and rigid, he immediately frowned and said, "My lady and I are old husband and wife. Helping me is helping you. I will no longer pursue your restlessness and your bad fate. If you are unwilling to help me with such a small matter, are you trying to force me to turn against you?

I know that Lord Tang is very righteous and is not someone who condones evil. Li Ya was punished for something before. If I report to Lord Tang again that his father used force to force me and take someone else's wife, what do you think? What will Lord Tang do? If this matter affects the Jianghuai plan, even if Li Ya is spared from death, his future will be ruined. Will he still be so obsessed with my wife?

I don't want to hinder my wife's marriage, but my wife is clearly able to help me, but she refuses to consider our old relationship. This is really chilling! "

"Get out, get out!"

Liu was also confused by Chen Xu's threat at this moment. She waved her hand and drove Chen Xu out of the door without letting down her previous determination and calmness.

Seeing the lady's excited reaction, Chen Xu did not dare to continue threatening her for a while. After all, the lady was one of the few channels for him to achieve his intentions. So he took the initiative to leave, stood outside the door and bowed, saying: "Lady, please be patient. I will take my leave first and visit you and my child another day. I hope that you will be able to understand your mind and make a good choice by then, and part ways with me." After saying this, Chen Xu left the house and took a few of his followers to leave Wuer City. When he and his group arrived outside the city, they met Li Ya, who had just escorted Lady Yao back to the academy and then rushed back on horseback. Li Ya also saw Chen Xu and his party, and immediately stopped his horse. Chen Xu rode forward and bowed to Li Ya, saying: "So you are General Li Ya, I have heard of you for a long time. I was taken care of by your father, General Li, the Duke of Wu'an, before I had time to thank him. General Li had already left for another state, which was really a pity. My young son was also taken care of by the general, and I am really grateful..."

"Madam Liu is no longer your wife. If you continue to harass me, I will never forgive you!"

After hearing this, Li Ya said angrily with a cold face.

Chen Xu shook his head after hearing this and said, "General, you misunderstood. I didn't mean to stop your marriage. On the contrary, I am happy to see my wife find a good man. General, you are the confidant of Lord Tang. If you can help me return to Jiangdong, I will not hate you for taking my wife away. I will give you a heavy gift to thank you after I return!"

Li Ya shook her head after hearing this and said, "Your stay or leave is not up to me!"

"General, as long as you have the intention, I don't expect things to be done quickly."

Chen Xu knew that he was in a weak position now, and he didn't dare to force it too much even if he had a plan. After telling Li Ya that he had no fundamental contradictions with him, he clasped his fists and left.

Li Ya didn't expect that they would have such a scene of communication. After being stunned for a while, he ran to Wuer City again. When he came to Liu's house, he didn't go in directly. He asked the two servants outside the door in a low voice about the situation in the house after he left, and then gave them some rewards and asked them to stay here. He was afraid that entering the house might make Liu more worried, so he left with a heavy heart.
