Chapter 144： Divorce or reconcile?

Chapter 144: Divorce or reconcile?

Dingbei Hou had never seen her like this before, and he couldn't react for a while.

Jiao, on the other hand, held her stomach and cried miserably, not forgetting to try her best to make her presence felt.

“Uuuu, Mr. Marquis, how are you? Leave me alone and call the guards in quickly.”

Dingbeihou came to his senses and became furious, "Cui Jinrou, are you crazy? How dare you take action?"

"Yes, I'm just crazy." Mrs. Cui nodded happily, her smile colder than thousand-year-old ice.

"After the entire Kyoto capital was moved away, when hundreds of people in the entire Marquis Mansion fled, but no one thought of me, when the barbarian cavalry chased me away like a dog, my burning eyes turned black, only When I can go into the forest and fight for my life with wild wolves and black bears, I will go crazy!”

Dingbeihou felt slightly guilty after hearing this and wanted to refute, but there was no reason to abandon his wife and run away alone.

Jiao family stretched out her hand to protect Dingbei Hou, crying until the pear blossoms were raining.

"Sister Cui, you can't say that to the Marquis. The Marquis had to protect the Queen Mother and the Emperor when they went south. He didn't close his eyes for days and nights and had no time to think about my sister. Does my sister think that the Emperor and the Queen Mother are not as important as you? Family and country. You can’t have both, you can’t have both loyalty and filial piety!”

"Yes," Dingbei Hou felt happy, and finally found some confidence, "I am a military prince, and it is my responsibility to protect my family and the country at any time. Let alone you, even my parents, I will not do anything. Hesitantly choose to be loyal.”

Mrs. Cui raised her hands to applaud and started to praise, "Okay, that's very well said. Among the generals of Tianwu, you are the best at maneuvering. Anyone who hears these words will be moved to tears. I praise you." Loyalty.”

She raised her finger and pointed to the courtyard, "But look at it, your whole family, your concubines, your children, even your first-in-law girl and the puppy you raise during the day are all with you. The only one who didn't take you is your first wife. Taking your first wife is unfaithful." It’s unfilial! Do you believe your own words? Do you want me to go around Xindu and let everyone in the world praise you?”

As soon as she finished speaking, the girl who was watching the excitement in the yard hid behind her in fear, and the puppy she was holding fell down.

The puppy ran into the house happily and ran around Dingbeihou.

Dingbei Hou was severely torn apart. He had nowhere to vent his anger, so he kicked the puppy as far as he could.

The puppy whined in pain and ran out pitifully.

“I was blind back then!” Mrs. Cui couldn’t hold back her tears when she thought of those years.

Dingbeihou was irritated when he heard this. He pulled Jiao away and asked.

"Then what do you want to do? You have ignored me for so many years and have not fulfilled your responsibilities as a wife. I am not begging you to come down now. As long as you are an ordinary wife, you are so unwilling. Rao, look at you, are you still as gentle and dignified as before?"

At this moment, Mr. Liu couldn't help but speak, "Fu Qingrong! Don't think that you can bully Jinrou so unscrupulously after the death of Grand Scholar Cui. Jinrou still has an old bone like me behind her! Be a good wife and make her a wife." You left Kyoto and worked so hard to get here, but why do you still want to be a wife? If you dare to quibble, let's go to the emperor and tell him! Maybe the emperor knew that you gave up your wife to protect him, but he didn't forget it. If you take care of the maids and dogs, you will be promoted to a noble rank!"

Dingbeihou's head was buzzing when he heard this. He was from the Queen Mother's faction. The Emperor only recognized Ye Chengyi. If he came in front of the Emperor, it would probably give the Emperor an excuse to withdraw his military power.

Jiao was very close and saw that his forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat, so he gritted his teeth and threw himself in the middle of the ground, kneeling in front of Mrs. Cui, crying bitterly.

"Oh, sister, please don't embarrass the Marquis! It's all my fault, I shouldn't have married in. Wuwu, the Marquis is too tired. He is walking on thin ice in the court. One day, a hundred days of kindness to the husband and wife, please Sister, for the sake of past friendship, please don’t embarrass the Marquis anymore.”

Dingbeihou was moved when he heard that his new wife was so virtuous. When he looked at his first wife, his eyes were full of resentment and disgust. Mrs. Cui's heart was so angry that the iceberg was about to break. She lowered her head and looked at Mr. Jiao and asked directly.

"So the Marquis is really married to a good woman who cares about him. So, don't you feel sorry for the Marquis? Just leave voluntarily and invite him to the court. Then the Marquis will definitely not be embarrassed. ”

"No!" Mrs. Jiao objected subconsciously, "No, I am Mrs. Hou, and I am the one who was married by Ming Media!"

“Look, you feel sorry for Mr. Hou because you are stepping on me and sacrificing me. You are so kind!” Mrs. Cui sneered.

The gleam in her eyes made Jiao feel angry, "Why can't you be sacrificed? You should die outside and don't come back! The barbarians have been occupying Jiangbei for how long. Who knows how many barbarians you have been ruined and your innocence has been lost." , why do you have the nerve to come back and be Mrs. Hou!"

"Pa!" Mrs. Cui grabbed the tea bowl and hit Jiao on the head hard. Jiao turned her head to avoid the tea bowl, but the tea poured all over her body.

"Shut your stinky mouth, you think everyone is like you. Marrying a husband as old as your father when you are less than twenty years old is not just for the benefit of your family. Do you think you are the same as a brothel girl? , what’s different! They are all foxes of thousands of years, why are they pretending to be ladies?”

Mrs. Cui scolded her vigorously. She no longer looked at the screaming Jiao family and turned to Marquis Dingbei. "We must sign the letter of reconciliation immediately!"

"No!" Marquis Dingbei frowned, and he didn't want to play any show of love and justice. "Just like Mr. Jiao said, your innocence has been lost. I want to divorce my wife!"

“Okay, then go to the emperor and ask for the royal decree. Let the emperor and everyone in the world hear whether you should divorce your wife or make peace with her!”

"You, you are really unreasonable!" Dingbei Hou was so angry that he wanted to kill someone.

Mr. Liu put the tea bowl down heavily, "Fu Qingrong, you'd better be there when I save your face, otherwise you won't regret it in the end. You thought that by tying the Jiao family to your side, you would be able to sit back and relax. Hum. , In Weizhou, the Jiao family is not qualified to speak out in front of my Liu family! If you don’t believe it, let’s give it a try!”

The other two old men also supported her, "The Jiao family is a merchant, and everyone in Weizhou knows that. A truly scholarly family, an aristocratic family, would never marry a daughter of the Jiao family, so you, a short-sighted person like you, treat her like a treasure!"

Jiao originally wanted to make a fuss, but she felt guilty after hearing these words. She could only cry sadly and did not dare to interrupt.

Dingbei Hou's face changed for a long time before he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's make peace, but I have one condition."

"Let's talk about it." Mrs. Cui's face showed neither sadness nor joy, which made Dingbei Marquis feel uncertain, but he still said, "From now on, we will tell the outside world that we will make peace when we are in Kyoto."

Mrs. Cui laughed in anger, but she thought it was expected, "Okay, Marquis Dingbei wants to save face. He doesn't want others to know that he abandoned his first wife and ran away alone, and he doesn't want others to know that he stopped his wife and remarried! I'll be merciful. , help you!”

Dingbei Hou gritted his teeth in anger, "Hurry up and sign the divorce document, and then get the **** away from me!"

Mr. Liu took out two letters of departure written in advance, and Liu Zhiheng personally delivered them to Dingbei Hou.

Dingbeihou read it carefully before signing his name and fingerprinting it.

Mrs. Cui also stepped forward to sign her name and pressed it with trembling fingers.
