Emperor Changshun, adhering to the attitude of demolishing ten temples rather than ruining one marriage, said: "How can a husband and wife live without a little bump in the road? It is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, but you must also pay attention to propriety and respect your wife's affairs. She comes first.”
"I also understand your affairs clearly. The concubine's murder of the mistress is a crime that can be avoided by this person, but he cannot escape the crime of living. Qi'en, you can take it back to the house and deal with it on your own. It will also give you an outlet! In the Hou Mansion these years Thank you for your hard work. I will reward you with a thousand taels of gold. I hope this matter will just go away. Of course, I also hope that you will live well in the marriage I have arranged for you."
An Qi'en felt cold. Emperor Changshun was trying to silence her with a reward!
These rewards must have been given for the sake of the Seventeenth Prince, otherwise the matter would have been fooled, and the Seventeenth Prince would have wasted his words!
Emperor Changshun was smart, he had done all the unfair things, and he could gain a good reputation as a benevolent person by getting a reward.
The king of a country has the final say!
If she said one more thing and angered Emperor Changshun, her father and brother would have a difficult time!
Qiao Jianghong happily kowtowed in thanks: "Thank you, Lord, for your kindness! Thank you, Lord for your kindness!"
Emperor Changshun saw that An Qien was dissatisfied with the result, and said: "Qiao Jianghong, you spoiled your concubine and destroyed your wife. This is well-founded. I can't pretend to be blind. According to the laws of our dynasty, the prince should be demoted." of."
Qiao Jianghong broke into a cold sweat when he heard this! I was very nervous.
Emperor Changshun continued: "In view of your father's meritorious service, I will temporarily refrain from reducing my title. From now on, you will be relieved of your post as Feilong envoy and demoted to toilet officer."
Qiao Jianghong was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. As long as he was not demoted, the Marquis Mansion would still be the Marquis Mansion, and the toilet officer would be the toilet officer. He would not be embarrassed this time.
"Thank you Lord for your kindness." Qiao Jianghong kowtowed!
...
When he returned to the Hou Mansion, the first thing Qiao Jianghong did was to confine his three aunts and give each of them twenty blows. Even if Ru Ying was pregnant, she was not spared.
He was so angry that these women were eating and drinking from him, and they actually stabbed him in front of His Majesty.
Mrs. Qiao rushed over to plead for Ruying. The child in her belly was the only child in the Hou family.
She can't escape from this punishment, so why not wait until the child is born?
Qiao Jianghong was filled with anger and had lost all reason. It didn't matter that the biological mother of the concubine's child was born in a brothel!
He spent so much money to redeem her, but she showed no gratitude and instead betrayed him. What a farmer and a snake!
It's useless no matter who tries to persuade her. Ruying will be punished today!
Finally An Qien is here!
She couldn't make peace with her, and she looked gloomy and had no energy at all. The three aunts betrayed Qiao Jianghong just to help her, so she couldn't sit idly by.
"Your Majesty, if you want to hit me, hit me. As my mistress, I ordered them to enter the palace with me."
An Qien's expression was indifferent, as if he didn't care about anything.
Qiao Jianghong put his hands behind his waist, and the anger in his heart rushed to his forehead. When he looked at her, he suppressed his anger. He moved his lips and softened his voice a little: "I am the only one who lets you do whatever you want!"
His tone was full of helplessness. How dare he lose his temper with her? Her father and brother were not vegetarians, and she had saved him. Qiao Jianghong was grateful to her and had feelings in his heart. Somehow, he was I was so angry that I couldn’t bear to yell at her or scold her!
He panicked when she wanted to reconcile, and now he could only coax her, so that maybe she would settle down and live in the Hou Mansion.
An Qien's expression was warm and cold, not even looking at Qiao Jianghong.
The three aunts lowered their heads. Liang Wanru was still in confinement and had a forehead wipe on her head. If she was punished, she would definitely suffer from severe confinement disease.
Mrs. Qiao put on a black face and relied on her elders to show off her skills: "Women regard their husbands as their top priority, so it's useless no matter how hard they try. A woman's lack of talent is her virtue. After reading some books, she really thought she was different!"
After saying this, Mrs. Qiao ordered Qiao Jianghong: "No woman is allowed to study in the future. Lock the study room for me!"
An Qi'en has read too many books and always thinks that she is a phoenix. She is just a concubine and actually goes to the front of His Majesty regardless of the face of the Marquis Mansion!
Qiao Jianghong glanced at An Qien. An Qien's eyes were cold and tough, as if he was saying, "Try sealing my book!"
Qiao Jianghong knew that books were An Qien's other life. She had already developed a habit of studying hard every night. If he didn't give her books to read, it would be like denying food to a normal person.
"Grandma, you are not in good health. Go back and rest. Your grandson will take care of this matter."
His attitude has always been indecisive and stubborn, and he doesn't want to offend anyone.
Mrs. Qiao glanced at him dissatisfied: "At this time, if you protect her, does she still have you as her husband in her heart?"
Qiao Jianghong was silent, knowing that she didn't have it in her heart.
Mrs. Liu also complained: "Qi'en, the Marquis Mansion treats you well. You have been in charge these years and you have the final say in the house. And look at which family has a woman who has not had a child for so long, and her husband's family still has no children." You can give me a good face, but you really hurt the heart of our Hou family."
An Qi'en snorted coldly. She was in a bad mood before she and Li Cheng were in a bad mood. Mrs. Qiao, Mrs. Liu still showed her face, and she didn't want to bear it anymore! Anyway, things were already in trouble!
"What mother said is wrong. I treat the Hou Mansion well. I am in charge of the house and do the work. Since mother thinks this is a good job and a bad job, then you can take care of the house yourself."
She paused and looked at Mrs. Qiao who was sitting on the main seat: "Grandma, it is a virtue for a woman to have no talent. Then, if you have a room full of books, my daughter-in-law will help you donate them to people in need. What you do is what you do and what you do is what you do." That’s the truth!”
"you dare!"
Mrs. Qiao blew her nose and stared.
An Qien smiled lightly: "What does grandma mean? Only the state officials are allowed to set fires and the people are not allowed to light lamps? If I don't read these books, will you have any grandchildren?"
She is also willing to go all out and dare to seal her book. She will show her a bitch today!
Mr. Qiao was so angry that he couldn't speak.
Qiao Jianghong smoothed things over: "Forget it, I'll just keep all the books and live in peace from now on."
Mrs. Liu also remained silent. An Qien had always behaved herself and never disobeyed her elders. Today, she was going to fall out with everyone in the Hou Mansion and not care about anything! Mrs. Liu was also frightened.
The three aunts kept kneeling on the ground, lowering their heads and listening silently.
At this time, the maid came in and reported: "Old Madam, Madam, Crown Prince, Young Madam Aunt Shen has been sent back."
After saying that, two women came in, supporting Shen Shuli with a few scars on her face. She changed into clean clothes in the palace, so the wounds on her body were covered, and she also dressed up. She looked Not so embarrassed.
An Qien looked at Shen Shuli with cold eyes. Shen Shuli knelt down reluctantly after coming in!
"Greetings to the old lady, ma'am."
