Being sent back to her parents' home means that even if she is not divorced, it is almost the same as being divorced.
The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo was panicked. She didn't want to become a laughing stock in the upper class, and she didn't want to lose her identity as the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo. For the first time, she was forced to admit her mistake and compromise. Her hatred for Tang Cheng reached its peak.
The handsome face of the Duke of Zhenguo, which resembled Wen Huaian, remained unmoved.
The color drained from the face of Lady Min, wife of the Duke of Zhenguo.
Without the identity of the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, she would be nothing.
Not to mention the years of scheming, at this moment Min had already forgotten her beloved Xie Xue Ning.
No, she still has a son.
Min suddenly looked at her son, her eyes full of hope.
It was difficult to tell the light from the dark on Wen Huaian's handsome face, and there was a coldness in the depths of his deep eyes.
Only at this time would his mother remember him.
He had been planning to plead for his mother, but he just did it a little earlier.
"Father, please give mother a chance."
No matter what, she is his mother, and Wen Huaian couldn't bear to watch his mother being sent back to her parents' home by his father.
When Lady Zhenguo heard that Wen Huaian was willing to plead for her, her eyes lit up, as if she had grasped the last straw.
Feeling the ruthlessness and cruelty of the Duke of Zhenguo for the first time, the Duke's wife was terrified.
She regretted that she shouldn't have been so impatient.
I didn't expect that the Duke attached so much importance to Tang Si's child. Why, why wasn't Xue Ning pregnant with Huai'an's child
The respect and honor that the Duke of Zhenguo usually gave her made her forget to be cautious.
As long as she could get through this crisis, Min swore that she would be cautious and proceed step by step in the future.
The Duke of Zhenguo looked at his only son with a complicated expression, suppressing his anger for a rare occasion, and looked at his son deeply. His son was extremely intelligent since he was young, and had all the abilities and skills. If it weren't for his weak body, fortunately he would be fine now. Tang Si also had his grandson, and he also found a job in the Ministry of War for his son.
Everything is moving in a good direction.
Unexpectedly, Min intervened and went to Nanyang Marquis' Mansion to cancel the engagement without permission, thus ruining the good situation.
The Duke of Zhenguo was extremely disappointed with Min's frequent close contacts with other families in recent years. Now she is openly interfering in the inheritance of the Duke's Mansion. The Duke of Zhenguo could no longer tolerate it. Now his son is begging for mercy. The Duke of Zhenguo pondered for a while and said sternly: "Min, in view of Huai'an's plea for you, this is only this time, and it will not happen again. There is no mistress in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion who is unfaithful."
This is already a serious warning.
Don't think that you can rest easy and have peace of mind just because you gave birth to the Duke of Zhenguo's only child.
He actually dared to interfere in the important matter of inheritance of offspring, which has touched the bottom line of the Duke of Zhenguo.
Tang Si must marry into the Duke's Mansion.
She's just a spoiled little girl. So what if she's arrogant and brainless? All she's fussing about are trivial matters. Such a person is straightforward, easy to understand, and easy to guide.
She is the noble person in her son's life. Because of her, her son no longer has to worry about dying young. Her good physique is the hope for her son to inherit his family line.
The Duke of Zhenguo looked at Min with a cold and ruthless look.
The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo understood the underlying meaning in the Duke's words. She shuddered all over and the color drained from her face again.
"Thank you, Duke. I will bring the official media to the Nanyang Marquis's Mansion tomorrow."
Compared with the status of the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, being laughed at and losing face are nothing.
As long as she is the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, they have to flatter her and curry favor with her.
As for Tang Si... Tang Si... I'll deal with her after she gives birth to the baby!
The Duke of Zhenguo looked at Min expressionlessly and said, "I hope you can keep your promise!" After that, the Duke of Zhenguo turned his gaze to his son, and his eyes softened a lot: "Huaian, come with me to the study!"
Wen Huaian looked at his mother deeply, then stood up and left with the Duke of Zhenguo.
Tang Ping also left.
The huge house became empty.
The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo relaxed all over and slumped weakly in the chair.
At this time, the three people in the Zhenguo Mansion were unaware of the Nanyang Marquis's "revenge".
That night, apart from the gloomy atmosphere in the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion, countless people were excited and unable to sleep.
Tang Cheng, the person involved, slept well that night.
The next day, at dawn, Tang Cheng got up early and washed up, as today was the day she would enter the palace.
She has been here for four days, and she is finally going to meet the highest authority in this feudal imperial era.
Tang Cheng was slightly excited. She wore a silk dress embroidered with gold threads and all the jewels on her body were jade ornaments.
She wore no makeup, her oval face was delicate and pretty, her almond eyes were clear, and there was a hint of pride and brightness between her eyebrows.
The four maids were secretly amazed, especially Pearl. The young lady used to like gold jewelry the most, but now she likes jade jewelry.
It seems that jade jewelry is more suitable for young lady.
Zhenzhu didn't think much about the change in Tang Cheng's preferences. The young lady had always had a changeable temperament and had never particularly liked anything.
"Let's go to the main courtyard!"
Tang Cheng raised his chin slightly, and left the Peony Garden with a strengthening potion and four maids in full momentum.
When the servants of Nanyang Marquis' Mansion saw this scene, they all bowed their heads and saluted.
Marquis Nanyang did not expect his beloved daughter to come so early. He was just about to go to the Peony Garden to pick her up, but unexpectedly, his beloved daughter came with a bright smile, and it was obvious that she could not wait to enter the palace.
Marquis Nanyang burst out laughing.
Zhang was in a good mood. Tang Xin, who rushed over after hearing the news, was shocked to see Tang Cheng, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes and looked very impressive.
Tang Cheng perfectly portrayed her as an arrogant young lady with her eyes wide open.
After being shocked, Tang Xin secretly shook his head.
I didn't expect that Tang Cheng has such a scary appearance. People like Tang Cheng are all show and no substance.
"Dad, it's getting late, let's go to the palace." As soon as Tang Cheng arrived, he affectionately took the arm of his father, the Marquis.
Nanyang Hou smiled and said, "It's still early, no need to rush."
The Emperor wanted to see his precious daughter only after the court session, so it was useless for her to be anxious.
Tang Cheng shook his father the Marquis's arm and shouted in a long voice.
"father!"
"Okay, okay, let's go!"
Marquis Nanyang laughed. He nodded slightly to Zhang, then looked at his third daughter Tang Xin. Thinking of the tricolor peony she cultivated, he gave her a rare word of praise, then left with Tang Cheng.
Tang Xin's eyes darkened slightly.
I don’t know why my stepfather brought Tang Cheng into the palace this time. Is it because of the cancellation of the engagement by the Duke Zhenguo’s Mansion
What a biased cheap dad!
Tang Xin gritted his teeth secretly.
My stepfather and stepmother are both unreliable. It seems I have to rely on myself for everything.
Tang Xin was lost in her own thoughts and didn't notice that Zhang frowned as she looked at her.
Shortly after the carriages of Marquis Nanyang and Tang Cheng left, the carriage of the Duke of Zhenguo slowly stopped at the gate of Marquis Nanyang's mansion, followed by a group of onlookers.
The incident of the Zhenguo Mansion canceling the engagement yesterday caused a lot of uproar. Everyone was paying attention to the follow-up of the two mansions, excitedly waiting for the counterattack from the Nanyang Marquis, who doted on his daughter.
Unexpectedly, before Marquis Nanyang could counterattack, there was movement again in the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion.
What’s strange is that the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo actually brought an official matchmaker and a cart full of gifts to the Nanyang Marquis’ Mansion.
What is going on
The people around were in an uproar, with all kinds of speculations flying around.
Lady Min, the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, who was in the carriage, heard the whispers outside and felt a breath stuck in her chest, unable to spit it out or swallow it. She calmed down and suppressed the irritability in her heart.
This time, perhaps because of the order from Marquis Nanyang, the guards at the gate were respectful but did not let the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo enter the mansion directly. Instead, they stopped them and sent someone to report.
This action was once again seen by the onlookers, and they talked about it.
After a while, the steward of the Nanyang Marquis's Mansion came out. As soon as he came out, he bowed to the carriage, as if he didn't see the conspicuous official media, and his tone was respectful but firm.
"Your servant greets the Duke's wife. The Marquis has ordered that the Nanyang Marquis's Mansion does not welcome people from the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion. Please go back, Madam Duke."
The face of the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo in the carriage suddenly turned pale, and a hint of panic flashed in her eyes.
What should she do? She was afraid that she would not be able to complete the task assigned by the Duke!
"Madam Duke, please go back!"
The butler urged again.
The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo originally wanted to take advantage of the Marquis of Nanyang's attendance at court to shamelessly bow to Tang Si and renegotiate the marriage, but she didn't expect that she couldn't even enter the gate of the Marquis of Nanyang's mansion.
The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo took a deep breath and said a few words to the nanny beside her. The nanny lifted the curtain of the carriage and said.
"Please inform the housekeeper that the Madam wants to see the Fourth Miss Tang!"
The butler continued to reply respectfully.
"The fourth young lady has accompanied the Marquis to the palace to meet the emperor. Madam Duke, please return!"
The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo felt dizzy, as she obviously had not expected that the Marquis of Nanyang would bring Tang Si to the palace to meet the emperor. In the end, she had to excuse herself and return home.
The crowd watching the excitement was excited and nervous, and all kinds of speculations spread quickly.
