As a young couple, they were deeply in love with each other, and Wei Yangqing had never thought that it would come to this.
He walked forward a distance and stood beside Princess Changning, but without even looking at her. He lifted his robe with both hands, knelt in front of Old Madam Wei, and kowtowed three times.
In the past, he fell in love with Princess Changning. When he had a quarrel with his parents because of Princess Changning, his mother told him that Princess Changning had a spoiled temper and was not suitable to be a daughter-in-law. Such a person could enjoy a romantic life but could not experience the trivialities of daily life.
He didn't believe it, but he does now.
It seems that all the bad things started when he married Princess Changning...
Nanny Hua glared coldly at the little girl who was sticking her head out on the steps outside, reached out to close the door, looked at Princess Changning and Wei Yangqing who were far away inside, and couldn't help but sigh.
These two people caused a lot of trouble when they were together. Now that they are together, they don't cherish each other and have to make so much trouble.
The old lady gave birth to two sons. The eldest son was good in everything except the upbringing of the younger son... ...and made Wei Yangqing so indecisive.
Wei Yangqing is not really indecisive. At certain times, he can be very ruthless.
Just like he tried his best back then, even if he was deserted by everyone, he refused to give up Princess Changning.
Now he can still ignore the fact that Princess Changning gave birth to children for him and walked with him for more than ten years, and he happily got rid of this burden.
He knelt on the ground and said to Mrs. Tong Wei with an expressionless face: "Your meaning is your son's meaning. Your son will do as you say."
Princess Changning didn't cry when she was slapped by Old Madam Wei just now, and she didn't cry when she was pointed at in the nose and scolded by Old Madam Wei, but now she was so frightened by Wei Yangqing's words that tears welled up in her eyes.
Wei Yangqing did say something about divorce, but over the years, as their feelings had worn off, Princess Changning had gotten used to hearing these words. She hadn't expected that this time Wei Yangqing wasn't just talking, but was serious about it.
This blow was even more painful than when she heard Wei An say that the old princess had given up on her. She was stunned for a moment and then stopped crying, sneering extremely coldly.
She felt a little regretful.
Princess Changning, who had never known how to write the word "regret", suddenly felt heartbroken.
She paid so much, almost lost half of her dowry, and gave her whole heart to get this man, but it turned out to be such a person.
Perhaps her passion had long been worn out, or perhaps repeated compromises had made her feel that there was really no need to keep this man. She wiped away her tears, straightened her back and said, "Let's go to the farm?"
Her smile was cold, but her eyes were like knives: "Don't even think about it."
The affection has been used up, so it is much easier to talk about interests: "You can divorce, you are the descendant of a marquis, and you may have a chance to inherit the title. Marriage is not a trivial matter, and I have an imperial decree. You can submit a petition to the Ministry of Rites first..."
Princess Changning's words left no room for anyone to interrupt: "Then we'll break up once and for all."
Wei Yangqing seemed to be so rational at this time that it was a little scary. He didn't even care that his wife, who had always cared about him, was too cold and natural when talking about divorce. He cared about other things.
The reason why Princess Changning was sent to the farm, far away from the capital, was to prevent Princess Changning from getting angry and spreading Wei An's life story everywhere.
If Princess Changning really succeeds in getting a divorce, then given Princess Changning's temper, the Wei family will have no way out.
He has been soft-hearted for too many years. If he continues to be soft-hearted, he will not have the face to go to the underworld to see his ancestors and his father and brothers.
He shook his head at Old Lady Wei.
Old Madam Wei frowned, glanced at Su Ping and Wen Xiu, and sighed, "Please ask the Fifth Madam to go to the back to rest. Now go and ask the Third Madam. The Third Madam, take my invitation and go to the Imperial Hospital to ask for Kong Gongfeng, and tell him that the Fifth Madam is seriously ill."
If Princess Changning doesn't change her temper, everyone will be killed by her.
Old Madam Wei had already discussed with the old princess how to deal with this matter. At first, the old princess wanted to take Princess Changning to live on the farm for a while, but Old Madam Wei flatly refused.
She knew Princess Changning. If she was given too much freedom, she would not be willing even if she went thousands of miles away. It was like she was trying to reach out to the capital from Nanchang.
Princess Changning was so anxious that she kept slapping Wenxiu's hands and yelling at Old Madam Wei and Wei Yangqing.
But this time is no longer the time when the old prince was still around.
What's more, Princess Changning still hasn't understood one thing: this world is extremely cruel to women. Even if you are a royal family, you will still belong to someone else's family after you get married. Even if the old prince is still alive, he might be able to fight against the common people, but when facing the Marquis's Mansion, which is also a marquis' family and is not afraid of breaking up, there is only so much he can do.
Not to mention that the old prince is dead now, times have changed, everything has changed.
Old Madam Wei didn't even frown. When Aunt Hua came in, she ordered her, "Shut her mouth!"
Nanny Hua obeyed the order and led the people to half-pull and half-push Princess Changning to the back.
The Third Master happened to come in at this time, and Old Madam Wei rubbed her forehead and said to him, "You came at the right time... The Fifth Master cannot leave recently, so I would like to trouble you to go and send Changning away. I am worried about others doing it."
The third master was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Mrs. Wei would send Princess Changning away directly.
But after the accident, he quickly agreed: "Don't worry, mother, I know my limits."
Old Madam Wei nodded. She had already decided where to send Princess Changning, and had sent a letter to have it packed, so there was no need to instruct her again. She just told the Third Master, "Tell your wife to pass on the message that the Fifth Madam has an acute illness and needs to go to another place to find Doctor Zou to treat her. She has to go to Shu."
Shu is a long way away and full of poisonous miasma, so it is not a good place to go. The third master understood more and more the old lady's determination to send Princess Changning away and solve the future troubles, and nodded quickly.
He also sighed that this was a good excuse. After all, he had the old princess to help cover it up, and his father-in-law, Confucius, to help testify. He was not afraid of stirring up any rumors that would cause trouble for his family.
Old Lady Wei sent someone to find the Third Lady to send a letter to invite the imperial physician, and then there was a commotion outside. Word spread that the Fifth Lady had suddenly fallen seriously ill. When the Third Lady received the letter, she immediately understood what the old lady meant, and hurriedly ordered someone to go out that night to her parents' home to ask her father to come over.
Going out in the middle of the night would probably alarm a lot of people, but it was just the right thing to do. By alarming people, everyone would know that Princess Changning was ill.
