After Qi Jin left, Rong Cang and Chu Yunfei returned to Shuanghua Courtyard for breakfast. Butler Cheng hurriedly came to report: "Your Majesty, Princess! Mr. Ji sent someone to ask the Princess to go back to the Chu family, saying that Mr. Chu did not agree with his bringing. Madam Chu returns to Langya City."
Chu Yunfei turned to look at him, frowning: "Father doesn't agree to divorce, and he doesn't want to let mother leave?"
"That's what the person sent by Mr. Ji said." Butler Cheng nodded, "Mr. Chu is staying at home today. It happened that Mr. Ji came to help Mrs. Chu pack her bags. Mr. Chu forcibly stopped him and refused to let his wife leave. It is said that both parties It’s been a stalemate for half an hour.”
"I know, let's prepare the car." Rong Cang said, "I and the princess will go back to the Chu family together."
"Yes. The old slave resigns."
Chu Yunfei turned to look at Rong Cang, her eyebrows slightly twisted.
"Don't worry." Rong Cang stood up and walked over, holding her hand and walking to the inner room. "Change into clothes and go back to the Chu family to confirm your mother's intentions for the last time. If she still wants to reconcile, today is the day to resolve the matter. solve it completely."
Chu Yunfei said nothing, and Bao Chan and Sheng Xia waited in silence to dress and make up.
Chu Yuanzhong and Ji are a legitimate couple. When a woman marries, she obeys her husband. Without her husband's consent, it is really not that easy to go back to her parents' home all the way.
Moreover, Ji Ziyi is only Madam Chu's nephew. Even if Langya City is powerful, he cannot forcefully take away Madam Chu in the capital.
So we can only ask Rong Cang and Chu Yunfei to come forward.
Over the years, Chu Yunfei has seen through her father's selfish nature and feels unworthy of her mother. However, the world always puts too many shackles on women, teaching them to obey their husbands when they get married and their sons after their husbands die, and require them to obey until the end of their lives. , be gentle and courteous, want them to be virtuous, kind-hearted, tolerant and generous.
The husband is God, and the wife must obey him unconditionally and must not resist.
So things like peace and separation are easy to say but difficult to do.
Chu Yunfei's concern was never whether her mother should reconcile, but she was not sure whether her mother would regret it in the future. After all, no matter how selfish her father was, she was once the man her mother wanted to marry even if she broke off the relationship with her parents.
Even though her father's actions over the years have already exhausted her affection, she still cannot deny that in those years, her father almost occupied the heaviest weight in her life.
Heli does not simply break with this man, but completely cuts off everything he has pursued in the past and admits that his past choices were wrong.
And this requires great courage.
So she needs to think carefully and make sure she won't regret today's decision every day for the rest of her life.
As she got on the carriage and drove to the Chu family, Chu Yunfei looked coldly: "Reconciliation has always been a fantasy for women. If my mother can successfully reconcile today, I believe it is because of the prince's pressure, not the law." support."
Rong Cang looked at her with complicated eyes: "The laws of Chu State allow women to reconcile, but few women have had the courage to do so."
"Isn't it because of men's constant suppression that women lose their courage?" Chu Yunfei looked indifferent, "On the contrary, men are not merciless when they want to divorce their wives, and they can always think of a reasonable reason."
Rong Cang pursed his thin lips slightly and was silent for a moment: "Actually, it is not an easy thing for a man to divorce his wife. It sounds simple, but there are many restrictions and many factors that need to be considered."
Chu Yunfei raised his eyebrows: "For example?"
"For a prince like Wei Husband, if he wants to divorce his wife, he must go through the process of his father." Rong Cang held her hand, "If you are not careful, not only will you not be able to divorce your wife, but you will be beaten."
Chu Yunfei looked subtle and snorted coldly.
"For example, your father, if he wants to divorce his wife, it will not be an easy task." Rong Cang's voice was low and soft, "What he needs to consider is his career. If he spoils his concubine and kills his wife at home, outsiders generally cannot see it. Even if you see it, you will turn a blind eye, but divorcing your wife will make it known to everyone, and it is very easy for people to get caught."
Chu Yunfei admitted that what he said was reasonable: "Now it's my mother who wants to divorce, but he doesn't agree."
"He won't agree to it both emotionally and rationally." Rong Cang analyzed with her rationally, "The young master of Langya City came to pick you up in person, which at least proves that the Ji family still cares about your mother. In this way, as long as they and their husbands As long as the relationship is still there, your father will think that Langya City is still his family, and sooner or later he can help him."
Chu Yun said coldly: "Whimsical."
"Once you really make peace with your mother, not only will you not get any benefits from now on, but it will most likely turn the Ji family against him." Rong Cang said, "And you, a daughter who only thinks about your mother, will no longer be him." 's backer."
Chu Yunfei raised her eyebrows and looked at him: "Will you become his backer?"
"Of course not." Rong Cang smiled lightly, "But if my mother-in-law is firm in her attitude towards leaving, my husband is willing to temporarily give him some benefits so that my mother-in-law can escape smoothly."
Chu Yunfei pondered for a moment and nodded slowly.
It would be better if the matter could be resolved through negotiation. At least there would be no need to quarrel and it would leave both sides with dignity.
Arriving at Chu's house, Chu Yunfei got off the carriage and Rong Cang hurriedly supported her: "Slow down and be careful with yourself."
A carriage was waiting outside the gate of the Chu family. It had a low-key and simple appearance, and there were several guards in green attire.
Compared to the parades used by dignitaries and officials to travel, the car Ji Ziyi prepared was low-key and unobtrusive, and would not attract too much attention.
Chu Yunfei glanced at them, and under the guidance of the maid, hurriedly entered the Chu family's gate.
His father, Chu Yuanzhong, was sitting in the front hall with an angry look on his face. Chu Yuxiao was sitting at the bottom on the right side, with a bit of caution and gloating on his face.
Ji Ziyi sat on the chair on the left, her expression always calm: "Since my aunt got married in the capital, she has never returned home once. Due to emotions and reasons, Mr. Chu should not stop her from going home to visit relatives."
"It's reasonable to visit relatives, but my husband must accompany me." Chu Yuanzhong said coldly, "It's just that I can't spare the time these days. After I'm busy during this period, I will ask for leave from the Ministry of Etiquette and take time to accompany my wife back home." A trip to Langya City to meet my father-in-law and mother-in-law."
"Do you believe what your father said?" Chu Yunfei walked into the front hall without haste, "If my father was really so filial, he should have accompanied his mother back ten years ago instead of waiting until now. Still pushing three and blocking four."
Chu Yuanzhong looked angry. When he raised his head, he saw Rong Cang and Chu Yunfei coming together. His pupils narrowed and he subconsciously stood up and saluted: "I see you, the prince, and you see the princess."
Chu Yuxiao stood up and saluted, without any of the stupid arrogance of the past.
"Midsummer." Chu Yunfei ordered, "Go to the inner courtyard and call Madam out. Anyone who dares to stop her will be beaten to death."
"yes."
Chu Yuanzhong's face turned ugly: "Yun Fei, I am your father, do you have to let our family break up?"
"It is said that women obey their husbands when they get married, but if my father had really treated my mother as his wife all these years, the family would not have been in such trouble." Chu Yunfei looked at him coldly, "Anyone who loses his wife will lose everything." , the same goes for the official career. My father has not regretted his mother at all until now. The reason why you don't let her return to Langya City is simply because you are worried that your mother will never come back, or that she will complain to her grandparents, leaving you with no benefits from now on. .”
"Yun Fei." Chu Yuanzhong sank down and became angry, "I am your father!"
