"Yue Niang!"
Seeing that Princess Cheng followed Tang Ning outside without looking back, she didn't even look at him from beginning to end.
Prince Cheng quickly walked around the table and reached out to grab her: "What are you doing? Are you really going to follow Gu Helian? Do you know who he is? He..."
"No matter who he is, he has never lied to me."
"Yue Niang!!" King Cheng was annoyed and angry.
Princess Cheng waved his hand away, what right did he have to be angry?
"Xie Tianyu, when you lied to me, you should know the consequences."
"How many times do you have to tell me that I didn't mean to lie to you?!"
Standing where he was, King Cheng could feel everyone's eyes falling on him, with extremely embarrassed expressions on his face.
"I have already explained to you that it was the Song family who deceived me. I was just afraid that you would be implicated after Tang Ning had a falling out with the Song family. I was just temporarily deceived by the Song family. That jade pendant is from the Song family. I gave it to me for Tang Ning’s sake.”
Seeing that Princess Cheng didn't seem to hear what he said and turned around to continue walking out, he angrily grabbed her wrist and said, "Rong Yue, did you hear me?!"
"We have been married for so many years, don't you know how I treat you? It was just a temporary mistake of mine, why do you have to care about it like this?"
He said with full of grievance: "Yes, I lied to you, but there is Prince Cheng's Mansion and the entire clan behind me. You can act recklessly for your sister's daughter, but I can't. I must always consider all my abilities." I can protect you, and I was just confused and deceived. I didn’t sincerely want to hurt Tang Ning. Do you really want to disregard our relationship for many years for such a small thing..."
"Snapped!"
Princess Cheng endured it again and again, until her eyes turned red and her heart stung. She endured it until she felt nausea welling up in her throat every time she took a breath. In the end, she slapped Prince Cheng on the face, knocking him unconscious. In place.
"Xie Tianyu, do you really think I'm a fool?"
"You said you were deceived, that you were confused and deceived by the Song family. Then let me ask you, who took Song Shulan's books in Jingzhao Mansion?"
The expression on King Cheng's face was stagnant, and there was even more confusion and panic in his eyes.
When Princess Cheng looked at him, she thought it was extremely ridiculous: "I don't want to embarrass you, nor do I want to tear apart what you did, and let people know how ridiculous and shameless your actions are, but you blame others for your faults and return evil to others. It's ruthless to complain first and bite me later."
"I have given you countless opportunities. I even asked you before the Spring Banquet if you had anything to tell me, but what did you say?"
"Yue Niang..."
"Don't call me!"
Princess Cheng's eyes were red: "We have been married for more than ten years and I have never cheated on you, but you treat me as a fool and use those ridiculous excuses to deceive the wife who is sleeping with you."
"You said I care about everything. I just care about everything today, so what can you do?"
"I hate your hypocrisy, I hate your deception, and I'm even more disgusted that you can make up lies to help the Song family hide the truth, and at the same time laugh and love me as if nothing happened. Xie Tianyu, I really wonder if the you I've known all these years is really you. "
Princess Cheng suppressed her voice and choked, her hands were shaking with pain, but there was no trace of the shyness and tenderness on her face, instead it was full of disgust and disgust.
She shook off Prince Cheng's hand and said hoarsely to Tang Ning, "Let's go."
She couldn't stay in Prince Cheng's Mansion for a moment longer.
The guests at the banquet became quieter and quieter when they saw the huge slap mark on Prince Cheng's face. Gu Helian at the other end saw a look of anger flashing across Princess Cheng's pale face.
He quit his joking demeanor before, calmed down a bit, and waited for Princess Cheng and others to arrive. Then he led Mu Feng to follow them, with a vague protective attitude.
Seeing that several people were about to leave, the old concubine of Prince Cheng's Mansion reacted and stood up.
"Stop them, stop them for me!!"
She looked at King Cheng's beaten face and the people around her with strange expressions, and she was extremely angry:
"Obstacles, they are all obstacles. What kind of place do you think I am, Prince Cheng's Mansion, where I can come and leave whenever I want? Rongyue, you are a shrew. How dare you hurt your husband? This is outrageous."
"Someone, stop them and take the princess back to the backyard!!"
When the old concubine's call was heard outside, people immediately gathered around her. When Princess Cheng saw the people blocking her way, she shouted and got out of the way, but those people only looked at Prince Cheng.
Princess Cheng turned her head and focused her gaze on him: "Xie Tianyu, do you want to stop us?"
Prince Cheng avoided her eyes and said, "Yue Niang, you are angry now. I won't argue with you. It's just that things in the Song Dynasty Duke's Mansion are not that simple. If you go like this, you will cause trouble. You can stay in the manor to calm down. I I’ll explain to you later…”
"Xie Tianyu!" Princess Cheng ignored his excuses and said angrily: "You want to break up with me?!"
King Cheng's expression was extremely ugly, and looking at the extremely angry Rong Yue, he felt extremely troubled.
He didn't want to break up with Rong Yue, and the relationship he had treated her with for many years as husband and wife was not entirely fake, but he couldn't let Song Tangning and the others go, at least not now.
Things in the Duke of Song's Mansion cannot be hidden from anyone after today, but at least he must be given time to deal with Song Hong, otherwise they will be left to go out and quarrel with the Song family at will. He, the Song family and the ruthless king's rebellion will be involved. Not sure.
King Cheng avoided Princess Cheng's eyes and said towards the hall: "The poor reception today has made you laugh. There are things going on in the palace right now so I can't keep you here. If there is an opportunity in the future, I will host another banquet to entertain you."
Most of the people who can come to the banquet are officials and women, so naturally no one is stupid.
What happened today was such a big fuss, and King Cheng had already spoken out to drive them away. Naturally, they would not stay. They all got up and left.
"Since the prince has family matters, let's leave first."
"I'll take my leave first."
"So are we. Your Majesty, it's up to you."
King Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and maintained his dignity: "Come here, I will escort all distinguished guests out of the mansion."
Everyone said a few words during the banquet, and then followed the servants of Prince Cheng's palace to lead them away. However, by the time everyone else had left, there were still a few people left in the flower hall.
Mrs. Lu and Lu Zhinian did not move, and the Song family's mother and son also stayed where they were. Apart from them, the Qian family's mother and daughter also stood with Mrs. Wen Xinhou without moving. There was an elderly woman not far away.
King Cheng frowned and said in a deep voice: "Mrs. Zhou, Mrs. Qian, and Mrs. Fu. I have to deal with family affairs, so I hope they can make it easier for them."
Several people heard King Cheng's intention of expelling people, but they remained motionless and had no intention of leaving.
Mrs. Wenxinhou said calmly: "Rong Yue and I are close friends, the prince should know."
Mrs. Qian angrily twisted her sleeves to hold her little daughter who was not allowed to leave. After glaring at her, she raised her head with a serious look and said, "I also had some friendship with the late Mrs. Song Er."
As for the old lady of the Fu family, she was very straightforward in her speech compared to the tactful tone of the previous two people.
"I have no friendship with anyone, but I know right from wrong. The fault of what happened today is not with Princess Cheng and Miss Song. It was already the fault of the prince for forging tokens and changing the books. Now he wants to force them to stay. If this matter spreads out, It will only arouse criticism and make people feel that the prince has a guilty conscience regarding the Song family."
"I am not talented, and I am not a noble person. However, I feel pity for the injustice that has happened to Miss Song. I would like to ask King Cheng to release her. Otherwise, tomorrow morning, my eldest brother will definitely read a copy of the prince's book, saying that you are using your power to bully local officials and indulge in evil for your own gain." , unworthy of occupying the royal throne."
I forgot to mention that Mrs. Fu’s maiden name is Cao.
The Cao of Cao Dejiang, the imperial censor.
