Chapter 109 The End of Favoring a Concubine and Killing His Wife
"Sun Jingshu, look at who you brought back? When will it be the turn of an outsider to interfere in the affairs of my Anhe Marquis Mansion?" Song Yue said angrily.
"Miss, this is the family affair of our Anhe Marquis Mansion. As a girl, you are meddling in other people's family affairs. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at if it gets out?" Fu Qianxue glanced at Mu Wanwan with contempt. She looked good, and the material she wore was also good, but the headdress was too small. It was really petty.
I don’t know where Sun Jingshu got to know such a shabby person.
"Pa" When Gu Qingwan saw Fu Qianxue making fun of Mu Wanwan, she couldn't help but walked forward and gave Fu Qianxue a loud slap in the face.
"You are so shameless. My hands hurt from hitting you."
Fu Qianxue covered her cheeks, shock and anger flashed in her eyes. She didn't expect Gu Qingwan to dare to hit her.
Song Yue was also stunned by Gu Qingwan's action, and then he reacted, his face livid, "Sun Jingshu, I want to divorce you, you shrew."
Gu Qingwan didn't want to argue with him anymore, so she took out the imperial edict and said, "This is the imperial edict of divorce granted by the emperor. After the divorce, whether you want to marry a co-wife or a concubine is none of my business."
Song Yue took the imperial edict from Gu Qingwan's hand, glanced at it, and his face suddenly turned pale.
The imperial decree of divorce was real, but he couldn't understand why the emperor would care about such a trivial matter.
He had never thought of divorcing Sun Jingshu. She had managed the mansion very well over the years and had taken good care of his mother.
She actually went to ask for an imperial decree for divorce?
"Jingshu, don't get a divorce. Don't worry, I won't let Fu Qianxue into the house." Old Lady Song also hurried in at this time. She had just heard the argument between several people outside the door.
"Really? The Marquis told me last night that you, mother, have agreed to make Fu Qianxue a co-wife." Gu Qingwan ignored Old Lady Song and said calmly.
Old Mrs. Song's expression froze. She didn't expect that her good son would also give herself away.
They couldn't divorce. Old Madam Song knew better than anyone that the expenses of the Anhe Marquis's Mansion over the years had all relied on Sun Jingshu's dowry. Once they divorced, all the dowry would have to be returned to Sun Jingshu.
"Sister, don't be angry. I won't compete with you for the right to manage the household after I enter the mansion." Fu Qianxue didn't expect Sun Jingshu to actually go to the palace to ask for an imperial decree for a divorce. But she couldn't let her divorce at the moment, otherwise this damn old woman would definitely blame her. "Song Lang, go and persuade my sister."
"I'm just angry for the moment. Why...why do you have to trouble the emperor? Qianxue is pregnant now, and I can't ignore her. Can't you understand me?" Song Yue said anxiously.
Mu Wanwan didn't want Gu Qingwan to be delayed by this matter any longer, "Aunt Jingshu, give the dowry list to Yingyi, and we'll leave quickly after we move."
Gu Qingwan told Yingyi the location of the dowry list and asked Yingyi to get it.
"Over the years, the food, clothing, and other expenses of the Anhe Marquisate have all been paid from my dowry. If there's any discrepancy, you can take away any valuables from this mansion. If that doesn't work, you can use the indentures of the servants to pay off the debt."
"Jingshu, don't be impulsive." Old Mrs. Song became anxious when she heard this. She didn't expect Sun Jingshu to be so decisive.
Taking away the dowry is a small matter, but if you offend the Taifu Mansion, that would be a big deal.
"I just married a woman, why are you doing this?" Song Yue's words were filled with helplessness. He felt that as long as he coaxed this woman, she would definitely change her mind.
After all, she has known her own temperament for so many years.
"Lord Song, do you know what happened to the last man who favored his concubine over his wife?" Mu Wanwan glanced at Song Yue coldly.
Song Yue was stunned and didn't understand what Mu Wanwan meant.
"That man lost his throne, and even the children born to his concubines were not his own." Mu Wanwan continued.
The throne? Song Yue was shocked when he heard this, and his face turned pale.
The affair between Si Minghui and Ye Yaru had long been known to the whole city. Although he had not attended the sacrificial ceremony that day because he was accompanying Qianxue, he had heard a lot of rumors in recent days.
When Fu Qianxue heard this, she couldn't help but tighten her hands around her stomach, feeling secretly uneasy.
Her reaction did not escape Mu Wanwan's eyes. It seems that there will be more fun to watch in the Anhe Marquis Mansion in the future.
"How can you interfere in the affairs of the royal family, Sun Jingshu? If you give up the idea of divorce, I will plead for this girl in front of His Majesty."
This woman repeatedly tried to sow discord between Sun Jingshu and him, and she was determined to make her suffer.
"Stop wasting time. The imperial decree for divorce has been issued. Does Lord Song want to disobey it?" Mu Wanwan urged impatiently, with a hint of threat in her tone.
Gu Qingwan no longer paid attention to the people in the room and took Mu Wanwan by the hand to find a place to sit down.
"Crown Princess, the dowry has been counted, and the amount is very different." Ying Yi came in to report and also pointed out Mu Wanwan's identity.
He just heard that these people were speaking disrespectfully to the mistress.
Crown Princess? Song Yue and Old Madam Song were also shocked by this title and were speechless.
No wonder Sun Jingshu dared to divorce, it turned out that she had the support of the Crown Princess.
"Jingshu, think about it again. You and Yue'er have been together for so many years, and your feelings for each other are still there. Mother promised you not to let this woman into the house. In the future, the child she gives birth to will be adopted under your name and will also call you mother." Old Lady Song continued to persuade.
Sun Jingshu has established a relationship with the Crown Princess, and with the support of the Crown Prince's Mansion, the Marquis' Mansion will surely return to its heyday.
When Fu Qianxue heard this, her hatred grew even stronger.
Why should the child she gave birth to call Sun Jingshu mother? Not only did he occupy her position, but he also wanted to take away her child. How could she tolerate this?
But at the moment, the Crown Princess was obviously on her side, and she was unable to resist. Fu Qianxue had no choice but to hide her resentment deep in her heart.
Forget it, let her take care of it. This mansion will belong to her son in the future.
As soon as the old woman died, she would ask her son to take her back home.
Thinking of this, Fu Qianxue's discomfort was slightly relieved.
"Child? Can't I give birth to one myself? Do I need a woman who is not presentable to give birth to a child for me?" Gu Qingwan laughed. She was amused by what Old Lady Song said.
Besides, she still has Yuan'er and Wanwan. How can this bastard from the Anhe Marquis's Mansion be worthy of being called her mother?
"You and Yue'er have been married for so long, but there's still no movement in your belly. Don't you know whether you can have a baby or not?" Old Lady Song was also angered by Gu Qingwan's words. She was really ungrateful. No wonder Yue'er didn't like her.
"Song Yue, why don't you tell your mother why I haven't been pregnant for so many years?"
Song Yue was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to say it. He had never touched her in all these years.
Sun Jingshu did not tell these things to Old Lady Song. After all, it was not a glorious thing for her husband not to stay overnight with her.
Old Mrs. Song naturally didn't know. If she knew, she would definitely scold Song Yue. If there was a child holding this woman back, how could she dare to mention divorce?
