After the divorce, the reborn emperor seduced me into his arms

Chapter 136: Wife and Son Separated

After Yan Junyuan left the court, he was stopped by the King of Qi.

In recent days, the King of Qi would call him over and chat with him, or sometimes even invite him to have a drink together.

He even introduced the staff of Prince Qi's Mansion to him.

Yan Junyuan had tried so hard to please King Qi before, but he still couldn't catch his eye. Unexpectedly, just by sending a letter, he was directly included in the core circle by King Qi. This made Yan Junyuan very excited, and he even regretted not telling King Qi about Yan Qing's life experience earlier.

In the restaurant, the staff poured wine for Yan Junyuan and asked tentatively, "Sir Yan, is what you said in the letter true?"

"Of course!"

Yan Junyuan was drunk: "When Ye Xiruo found me, she told me that she was pregnant. She married me because she wanted to find a home for the child... hiccup~"

He burped and said self-deprecatingly, "Why else would she, a daughter of a general, marry a poor boy like me? Isn't it because I have no power and influence and can only hide things for her?"

The staff and the King of Qi looked at each other.

It turns out that this is the truth behind Ye Xiruo marrying Yan Junyuan!

Yan Junyuan was still immersed in his memories. He held the wine glass and said angrily, "But I didn't expect that when she said she would marry me, she really meant marrying me. She wouldn't even let me touch it. She must still be thinking about that wild man in her heart...

I've been tolerating her for so many years, but she actually threw me a divorce letter! Your Majesty, how can a woman divorce a man in this world? Yes, I want to divorce her! "

Yan Junyuan looked at King Qi expectantly.

The King of Qi smiled and poured him another glass of wine, nodding and saying, "Master Yan's words make sense."

After receiving the affirmation, Yan Junyuan drank the glass of wine in one gulp.

"Since she is unkind, don't blame me for being unjust!"

Yan Junyuan looked at the King of Qi, his eyes, reddened by the smell of alcohol, revealing a determined light. "Your Highness, don't worry, everything I say is true. Yan Qing is the daughter of Chu Tianhe from the State of Chu. If you need a witness, I will do my best to provide one!"

This is exactly what the King of Qi wanted to hear.

"With Lord Yan's words, I feel relieved."

The King of Qi stood up and personally helped Yan Junyuan up, whispering in his ear: "Don't worry, my lord. If I can take that position, you will definitely be a great contributor."

Yan Junyuan regained consciousness instantly.

He immediately staggered back and bowed deeply to the King of Qi: "I will follow you, Your Majesty!"

After saying this, Yan Junyuan fell drunkenly to the ground.

The King of Qi showed a look of satisfaction and said to his men, "Come here, help Lord Yan up and take him back to the palace."

"Thank you, Your Highness..."

Yan Junyuan was helped up and staggered out of the restaurant.

After watching his back disappear, the staff member beside the King of Qi whispered, "Your Highness, can you trust Yan Junyuan's words?"

The King of Qi curled his lips coldly: "Whether it is believable or not, we must make it come true!"

The staff was stunned for a moment, then reacted: "Your Highness is wise!"

The people sent to Chu State are already on the way. If what Yan Junyuan said is true, they don't need to do anything. Chu Tianhe will send people to contact the General's Mansion himself, and then they just need to reap the benefits.

If what Yan Junyuan said was untrue and Yan Qing was not Chu Tianhe's daughter, then they would make her Chu Tianhe's daughter, or at least make her inseparable from the State of Chu!

Yan Junyuan really gave His Highness a great gift!

*

When Yan Junyuan returned to the palace, he was already drunk and unconscious. The palace guards handed him over to the servants of the Yan palace and left.

The housekeeper supported Yan Junyuan and said, "Master, why did you come back just now? Something big happened at home!"

Yan Junyuan waved his hand impatiently: "...What else could happen at home? If you have any questions, go find my wife..."

"Oh, sir, something bad happened to the lady!"

The housekeeper helped Yan Junyuan into the house. Seeing Yan Junyuan falling asleep on the couch, sweat broke out on his forehead: "Madam ran away with the young lady and the young master!"

The person on the bed was motionless.

After a while, Yan Junyuan opened his eyes, still a little confused: "What did you say?"

The housekeeper said anxiously: "The lady ran away!"

Yan Junyuan suddenly sat up from the bed.

He was stunned for a moment before he finally realized what the butler said, but he still didn't quite understand.

"Run away...what do you mean?"

"It means running away!"

The housekeeper didn't understand what happened to the master today, and quickly said, "The lady took the eldest and third young ladies, as well as the second young master, out of the city in a carriage, and they haven't returned yet!"

Yan Junyuan was still a little confused: "Did he go out to play?"

The housekeeper said, "But Xueqin and Nanny Li are also missing, as are the things in the Madam's room, including her jewelry and clothes. Even the one hundred taels of silver left in the treasury are gone. Now everyone in the mansion is panicking, whispering that the First Madam and the Second Miss took away the dowry, and that Madam Zhen has taken away everything. The Yan family is completely destroyed..."

"what?"

Yan Junyuan was stunned and said, "Zhen'er took the children and ran away?"

Yan Jun felt dizzy.

Suddenly, he stood up and walked out.

"Master, Master, where are you going?"

The housekeeper followed behind him and said anxiously, "This month's salary hasn't been paid yet, and the servants are starting to make a fuss. If you can't get the money soon, I'm afraid they'll all run away. Master, please think of a solution..."

Yan Junyuan seemed not to hear it, and he hurried to Madam Zhen's room like a gust of wind.

"Bah!"

She pushed open the door of Cuizhen Garden.

Everything in the courtyard was the same as usual. Yan Junyuan strode into the bedroom, but did not see Madam Zhen.

He glanced around quickly.

The wardrobe was open, and the clothes that were originally stuffed full were gone. The jewelry box on the dressing table disappeared, and even the treasures on the treasure chest were gone.

Yan Junyuan didn't believe it, so he ran to Yan Tan's yard again.

Because of Yan Tan's madness, this yard had long been unattended. Standing in the yard, Yan Junyuan actually felt a sense of desolation.

Next is Yan Yue's yard...

Yan Hao's yard...

All the yards were empty.

"Bah!"

Yan Junyuan was so angry that he punched the wall.

The butler stood behind tremblingly: "Master..."

Yan Junyuan took a deep breath and asked angrily, "Why would a good lady... leave?"

How could Zhen'er, who clearly loved him so much, take the children and leave him? And not long after that woman Ye Xiruo left?

Yan Junyuan couldn't accept this.

The housekeeper didn't know why Mrs. Zhen suddenly ran away without any warning.

He shook his head and said, "I don't know either."

Yan Junyuan pursed his lips: "What happened recently?"

The housekeeper thought for a moment and continued to shake his head: "Nothing happened. The eldest lady is still crazy... Oh, by the way, the second young master was supposed to go to the academy yesterday, but for some reason he was beaten up. The lady went home and cried for a long time..."

Yan Junyuan vaguely remembered that this was the case.

Last night when he returned home, Nanny Li came to tell him that Hao'er was injured and asked him to go and see him, but he had an appointment with an aide in the Prince's Mansion at the time, so he hurried out...

Could it be that just because he didn't go to see Hao'er, Zhen'er took the children away in anger?

Yan Junyuan couldn't understand.

Zhen'er was not so unreasonable before, why did she suddenly change?

He turned around and looked at the housekeeper: "How long has the madam been gone?"

The housekeeper explained honestly: "After the master went to court this morning, the mistress took the young lady and the young master away."

Yan Junyuan stroked his forehead and asked, "Can I get her back?"

The butler shook his head.

The Madam left too early and only had Nanny Li and Xueqin to serve her. If someone hadn't seen the Madam hiring a carriage from afar, no one would have known that she and the young ladies had run away!

How can I chase after my wife when I don’t even know where she is?

Besides, it’s been a whole day!

Yan Junyuan suddenly felt a splitting headache.

At this moment, Mei Gu, who was serving the old lady, suddenly appeared in front of the two of them. Mei Gu looked at Yan Junyuan and said, "Master, the old lady hasn't eaten for a whole day."

Yan Junyuan put down his hand: "Why?"

Aunt Mei said, "The old lady said she hasn't been feeling well these past two days and wants to eat bird's nest, but..."

"Then stew it for mom!"

Yan Junyuan didn't understand why they had to come to him for such a small matter. He waved his hand and said, "Just ask the kitchen to make whatever Mom wants to eat. Don't bother me with such matters in the future."

"But……"

Aunt Mei looked at the housekeeper, then at Yan Junyuan, and said awkwardly, "There's no bird's nest in the kitchen..."

Yan Junyuan became even more angry: "Don't you know how to buy it?"

What's going on with these people?

Why can't I do anything?

The housekeeper couldn't stand it any longer and came to Mei Gu's rescue, saying, "Master, there's no money left in the house."

"How come there is no silver?"

Yan Junyuan frowned: "Didn't we all have delicious food and drink before?"

The butler opened his mouth, speechless.

The master really doesn’t know.

After a long pause, the housekeeper finally mumbled, "In the past, the expenses of the mansion were all borne by the eldest lady..."

"What is the Madam's burden?"

The housekeeper's words seemed to irritate Yan Junyuan. He angrily said, "Master, don't I have a salary? I take home a salary every month!"

In the past, the housekeeper would have kept quiet.

But times have changed. If the master doesn’t face reality, I’m afraid we’ll all be left with nothing.

So the housekeeper spoke cautiously despite Yan Junyuan's anger: "Master, your monthly salary is ten taels, but Madam Zhen and the old lady need to eat bird's nest for half a month every month, and there are also clothes and jewelry for the young ladies and gentlemen in the mansion, plus the servants' allowance. Your ten taels are far from enough, not to mention that the master used to buy two famous paintings every month. The living expenses of the family alone cost at least a hundred taels every month, and these were all subsidized by the eldest lady from the dowry, so..."

Yan Junyuan felt as if he was struck by lightning. He swayed and was a little bit unbelievable.

It turns out that the family spends at least a hundred taels every month...

The housekeeper simply closed his eyes and continued, "When the eldest lady left, she took away all her belongings and only left a little over a hundred taels of silver in the treasury. Originally, that amount of silver was enough for our family to live on for a month, but when Madam Zhen left this morning, she took the rest with her. Now the house is empty. Apart from the leftover vegetables in the kitchen, I'm afraid we can't even afford a grain of rice. How can we even afford to buy bird's nests..."

"Bang!"

Yan Junyuan's head suddenly hit the wall.

"master!"

The housekeeper and Aunt Mei exclaimed at the same time and hurried forward to support him.

Aunt Mei said, "Master, you are the head of the family, you must hold on."

The housekeeper also said: "Yes, sir, everyone is waiting for your decision."

Yan Junyuan just felt dizzy.

He stretched out his hand to wave away Mei Gu and the housekeeper, and said in a hoarse voice: "Let me be quiet."

After saying that, he leaned against the wall and turned to leave.

Mei Gu said worriedly, "Master, the old lady..."

Yan Junyuan froze for a moment, then a weak voice came out: "Whatever is in the kitchen, make her something. If she doesn't want to eat, we'll leave..."

"So...what should we do tomorrow?"

The housekeeper's worried voice also came one after another, and he said anxiously: "Tomorrow is the day to distribute the regular salary to everyone..."

Yan Junyuan just felt extremely tired.

He paused for a moment before speaking weakly, "I'll find a way to get the silver back tomorrow. As for those who want to leave, let them go..."

Yan Junyuan returned to his own yard.

When he opened the gate, he saw the familiar furnishings, but it felt strangely cold.

In the past, every time he left court, he wanted to be alone for a while, but Zhen'er always had various things to disturb him.

At that time, he enjoyed her love for him, but was also annoyed by her nagging. But now, he sat in the yard for half an hour, and no one came to bother him.

Ye Xiruo left.

Zhen'er also left.

Yan Qing, Yan Xun, Tan'er, Yue'er and Hao'er...all left.

He actually became a lonely man?

"Ha ha……"

Yan Junyuan sat in the yard and laughed.

A few months ago, he was the Minister Yan, the father of two sons and daughters, envied by everyone in the capital. But a few months later, he became a lonely man with no wife or children and no money?

Why is this happening?

Who is responsible for all this?

Yan Junyuan reviewed what had happened in the past few days.

He discovered that the originally peaceful Yan Mansion had become restless since Yan Qing's divorce.

Tan'er's reputation was ruined by her.

Ye Xiruo had also thrown a divorce letter at him because she was moving to the Princess's Mansion. And Yan Xun, who was clearly his son, had abandoned him, his biological father, and followed Yan Qing away...

All this was caused by Yan Qing!

She was the one who made him like this!

It was she who harmed the Yan family!

Yan Junyuan suddenly clenched his fists, his chest filled with anger: "As expected, a bastard is a bastard. If it weren't for her..."

At this moment, Yan Junyuan was extremely angry.

I swear to make Yan Qing pay the price!

……

It was several days later that Yan Qing learned that Madam Zhen had left the capital with her children.

At that time, she was receiving a letter from the palace.

The Fourth Prince's Mansion has been built, and the Empress Dowager specially held a banquet, saying that Gu Huaizhou had suffered too much among the people and finally recognized the Emperor, so his identity must be announced to the world.

At the same time, a concubine must be chosen for him.

All the court officials agreed on this matter, and even His Majesty praised the Queen for her magnanimity and grace, and for having the demeanor of a mother of the nation.

When Yan Qing received the invitation, he subconsciously thought of Yan Yue and Yan Tan.

Mrs. Jane will definitely not miss such a good opportunity.

As a result, they sent someone to the Yan Mansion to inquire and found out that Madam Zhen had taken Yan Tan, Yan Yue and Yan Hao away from Kyoto, the troubled city, a few days ago.

Yan Qing was somewhat surprised by this result.

Madam Zhen has been working hard for half her life just to gain a foothold in Kyoto and make everyone recognize that she is Yan Junyuan's wife, but she did not expect that in the end, she would give up this "wealth and glory".

I have to say this is a decisive move.

It is indeed admirable.

but……

Do you think you can rest easy after leaving?

Yan Qing looked at the invitation in her hand and asked gently, "Aunt, I wonder if Princess Mingjue and Prince Lu will be going?"
