Chapter 126 Hugh
Chapter 126 Hugh
"Qing'er, you are a princess personally appointed by the emperor. If you want to move to the Princess's Mansion, your father will not stop you, and I have no right to stop you. But Yan Xun, no!"
Yan Junyuan knew that Yan Qing was no longer the same as before.
Ever since her divorce from Lu Qiaonan, this daughter has become uncontrollable. Now that she has been personally named a princess by the emperor, she will no longer take her father seriously.
But you want to fight him?
Yan Qing is still a little young.
She could go to the Princess's Mansion if she wanted to, but she wanted to take other people with her? Impossible!
He knew this daughter very well.
I have lacked love since childhood.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have always competed with Yan Tan for favor. Although he didn't know why she no longer expected his father's love, the fact that she wanted to take Yan Xun away showed that she still cared about her brother.
As long as people care about something, they will have weaknesses.
Yan Junyuan said with his hands behind his back, "Yan Xun can only stay in the Yan Mansion!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a servant came forward and stopped Yan Xun, preventing him from getting on the carriage.
Yan Xun's handsome face tensed instantly.
The young man raised his eyes to look at Yan Junyuan, and said firmly: "Father, I don't want to live in the Yan Mansion. I want to go to the Princess' Mansion with my sister!"
"Snapped!"
Yan Junyuan stepped forward and slapped Yan Xun in the face.
Looking at the five fingerprints on the boy's face, Yan Junyuan said angrily: "Your surname is Yan, and you will never leave the Yan Mansion in this lifetime!"
At this time, many passers-by were attracted by the movement in Yan Mansion.
"What's going on? Something happened at the Yan Mansion again?"
"Why is it called again?"
"Because the recent excitement in Kyoto over the past two months was all caused by the Yan Mansion..."
"Yes, first the legitimate daughter of the Yan family divorced, and then the concubine's daughter rushed to become a concubine. Two days ago, I heard that the Yan family had a fourth prince. What's going on this time?"
"It seems that Miss Yan is moving to the Princess's Mansion..."
"Yes, Yan Er is now the Princess of Qinghe, so it's only natural for him to move to the Princess's Mansion. Why is Lord Yan so angry?"
"You don't understand this, do you? Yan Er and the Fourth Prince have a good relationship. As long as she's there, the Fourth Prince is there. Yan Er suddenly moved to the Princess's Mansion. Where will Yan Junyuan go to flatter her in the future? Besides, didn't you see those carts of stuff? I'm afraid they've emptied the Yan Mansion..."
"But I just heard that these things are the dowry of Yan Er herself and her mother, the eldest lady..."
"I can tell you're not married..."
The people around pointed at Yan Mansion and talked about it.
Yan Qing stood in the carriage with an extremely cold expression.
Yan Junyuan couldn't do anything with her, so he deliberately took it out on Axun? But he relied on being their father, so even if he beat them or scolded them, they couldn't talk back.
Especially in front of so many people.
She may not be afraid of reputation, but she cannot ignore A Xun.
He also has to study and take imperial examinations. For a scholar, reputation is more important than anything else.
Yan Junyuan was sure of this!
Seeing that Yan Qing, who had been so arrogant just now, didn't say a word, Yan Junyuan finally had an outlet to vent the anger he had endured these days.
He glared at Yan Xun and continued to scold him, "I see I haven't disciplined you these days. Do you forget your last name? Or have you grown independent? How dare you run away from home? Did I agree?"
"I agreed!"
Just when Yan Junyuan wanted to continue cursing, a cold and hard voice suddenly came from inside the mansion.
Yan Qing looked up and saw her mother Ye Xiruo walking out of the gate.
The eldest lady, who had not left the Yan Mansion for more than ten years, suddenly appeared in front of everyone, immediately attracting passers-by to come forward.
"Isn't this Madam Ye?"
"Yeah, I didn't expect that the eldest lady, who hasn't left the house for more than ten years, would show up..."
"In the final analysis, it's because Lord Yan favors his concubine over his wife, otherwise the First Lady wouldn't have been living in the backyard forever!"
"Yes, I really don't understand what Lord Yan is thinking. He doesn't want the daughter of the general's mansion, but wants a village woman from the countryside..."
"Men are just cheap!"
The scattered words reached Yan Junyuan's ears, making his face turn pale and blue, especially the last sentence!
He looked at Ye Xiruo with a sullen face: "What are you doing out here?"
Others said that he married Ye Xiruo to pay tribute to his ancestors. Everyone in Kyoto envied him for having such a powerful in-law family as the General's Mansion. He relied on the General's Mansion to be invincible in the officialdom and easily sat on the position of Shangshu.
But he favored Madam Zhen and neglected Madam Ye?
Is he being unfair to Ye Xiruo by favoring his concubine over his wife?
But who knows the truth?
If Ye Zhennan was willing to help him, he would not have been a Shangshu for so many years. He would have become the prime minister, second only to the emperor, and on par with Yang Chengzhong.
He fought hard for his position as the Shangshu, what does it have to do with the General's Mansion and Ye Xiruo?
"how?"
Ye Xiruo glanced at Yan Junyuan coldly: "I can't come out?"
Yan Junyuan said with a cold face: "What do you want to do?"
"Moving~"
Ye waved her hand, and the door of Yan's mansion suddenly opened.
Nanny Zhang and Nanny Liu came out of the mansion with a group of people, each of them holding a lot of things in their hands.
Yan Junyuan was stunned.
Yan Qing was also stunned. Mother, what is this...
Ye ignored Yan Junyuan and walked over to grab Yan Xun by the collar, dragging him to Yan Qing's carriage. She said impatiently, "It's getting late. Is the Princess's dinner ready?"
Yan Qing took a long time to react, and immediately smiled and said, "Of course."
As she said this she immediately moved aside.
Ye Xiruo was about to jump up with Yan Xun in her arms when Aunt Zhang quickly put down her things and stepped forward, saying, "Oh, Miss, you can't do that. You're not well yet..."
"Miss……"
Yan Qing realized what Aunt Zhang was calling her.
Ye Xiruo seemed to remember something at this moment. With her other hand, she pulled out a letter from her bosom and threw it to Yan Junyuan: "Here, this is for you, Yan Junyuan. From now on, you will go your way and I will go my way. Farewell!"
After saying that, he got into the carriage.
Yan Xun was also carried up.
At this time, the letter fell at Yan Junyuan's feet, and everyone saw two eye-catching big words written on the envelope: Divorce.
Yan Qing: “???”
Onlookers: “???”
Yan Junyuan: “!!!”
"The Madam wants to divorce Master Yan?"
"Oh my god, what's going on? My daughter just got divorced, and now the mother is divorcing her husband?"
"Hahaha, why do I feel a little excited..."
"Lord Yan favors his concubine over his wife. If I were the first lady, I would have divorced him long ago!"
Yan Qing was also shocked.
She had thought that her mother would go with her to the Princess's Mansion, but she never thought that her mother would be so brave as to divorce Yan Junyuan.
At this time, Matron Zhang and Matron Liu had already packed my mother's things.
Yan Qing looked at the dozens of cars full of things and the corners of his mouth twitched.
I’m afraid the Yan Mansion has really been emptied.
But she doesn't feel sad.
Everything in the mansion was bought by her and her mother, even the house belonged to her mother. She had already done her best by allowing Yan Junyuan and others to live there.
"Let's go."
Seeing that everyone was in the car, Yan Qing gave an order and then got in.
Seeing that his mother and brother were there, Yan Qing felt very at ease.
From then on, their family was together and would never be separated again.
"drive!"
The long whip in the driver's hand drew an arc in the air.
The heavily loaded carriage moved slowly, and Yan Junyuan, who was in a daze, finally reacted.
"Wait a moment!"
He hurriedly picked up the divorce letter on the ground and stepped forward to stop the carriage.
"Uu——"
The driver was so frightened that he barely managed to pull the reins.
Yan Junyuan clutched the divorce letter, staring at the luxurious carriage with a sullen face, gritting his teeth and saying, "Ye Xiruo, what do you mean by this?"
Ye Xiruo was about to stand up, but Yan Qing held her back: "Mother, I'll do it."
This kind of thing is not good for a woman's reputation in any way. Her reputation has been ruined for a long time anyway, so let her come and speak for her mother.
Yan Qing lifted the carriage curtain, looked at Yan Junyuan and said, "'Divorce' means exactly what it says. Could it be that Master Yan is illiterate?"
Yan Junyuan's pupils shrank suddenly: "Let your mother come out!"
Yan Qing smiled and said, "My mother has nothing to do with you anymore. If you have anything to say, please tell me, Lord Yan."
"presumptuous!"
Yan Junyuan felt humiliated by Yan Qing's constant address of "Master Yan". He shouted angrily, "I'm talking to your mother, how can you interrupt? Yan Qing, get out of my way!"
Not only did Yan Qing not move aside, he also stood out from the carriage.
She looked down at Yan Junyuan and shouted coldly, "How dare you speak to this princess like that? I think it's you, Lord Yan, who is being presumptuous!"
"you--"
Although Yan Qing's title of princess only had a rank but no real power, it was conferred by the emperor himself. Even the prime minister had to be polite to her when meeting her, let alone Yan Junyuan.
Besides, there is the Fourth Prince behind her!
Yan Junyuan stared at Yan Qing, his expression frozen for a long time. Finally, he gave in and raised the divorce letter in his hand and said, "I don't recognize this divorce letter! Since ancient times, men have divorced women. When did women divorce men? Therefore, your mother is still my, Yan Junyuan's, legally married wife. She is the eldest lady of my Yan Mansion. She can't leave without my consent!"
"Since men can divorce women, why can't women divorce men?"
Yan Qing didn't care: "Lord Yan favors his concubine and kills his wife. The whole capital knows about it. It's reasonable for my mother to divorce you. Or do you want to go to Jingzhao Prefecture with my mother to settle the accounts?"
If he went to Jingzhao Prefecture, the fact that Yan Junyuan divorced his wife and remarried would be exposed.
Yan Qing was sure that he didn't dare to go!
Sure enough, Yan Junyuan's face turned pale and he said, "Nonsense, I won't talk to you!"
Yan Junyuan looked at Ye Xiruo in the carriage behind Yan Qing and said in a cold voice: "Ye Xiruo, if you don't come out, don't blame me for being ruthless! Back then, it was you..."
"Shut up, mother!"
Ye Xiruo suddenly came out from behind.
She stood beside Yan Qing and looked at Yan Junyuan impatiently: "Don't mention the past to me. What did you say back then, and what did you do? You didn't tell me you had a childhood sweetheart back then. I've tolerated you and let you do what you want all these years. Don't you know what's going on?
And all these years, your family has been eating and wearing my clothes. Have you ever calculated how much money you have spent? Yan Junyuan, I don’t owe you anything. Get out of the way!
Ye Xiruo didn't want to waste time talking to Yan Junyuan at all.
After saying that, she pulled Yan Qing back into the carriage and ordered the driver, "Hurry up, hurry up, I'm hungry. If anyone tries to stop me, I'll just kill them!"
The onlookers were stunned.
"My dear lady, this is too fierce!"
"She's no longer the eldest lady. She's now Miss Ye, the legitimate daughter of the General's Mansion!"
"How domineering! It turns out that women can also divorce their husbands..."
"But from what Yan Junyuan said, it seems like there's something else behind their marriage?"
"Yes, when Miss Ye married the poor boy, it shocked the whole of Kyoto..."
The crowd was talking, and the coachman had already raised his whip and started the carriage moving again.
"Master Yan, please move aside."
With Ye Xiruo's instructions, the driver gave some instructions and drove forward.
The horses neighed and their hooves flew.
He actually rushed straight forward.
Yan Junyuan was still standing there.
"what--"
The people around couldn't help but exclaim in surprise!
Yan Junyuan was so frightened that his face turned pale. He thought Ye Xiruo was just trying to scare him, but he didn't expect that she would actually dare!
He was the chancellor of a country. No matter how powerful the Ye family was, they couldn't kill him in broad daylight. But now—
Looking at the horse's hooves that had already rushed in front of him, Yan Junyuan was so scared that his face turned pale and cold sweat broke out on his forehead!
He subconsciously wanted to run, but his feet felt as if they were filled with lead and he couldn't move. He was even unable to shout out in fear.
Just as he was about to be killed by the horse's hooves, a silver whip suddenly shot out from the carriage and wrapped around Yan Junyuan's waist, dragging him out from under the horse's hooves at the critical moment!
"It seems that my whip skills are still there!"
As Ye Xiruo's mumbling voice came from the carriage, the silver whip disappeared from Yan Junyuan and returned to the carriage.
Yan Qing and others left without any reluctance.
Dozens of loaded carriages followed shakily behind, keeping up all the way.
Yan Junyuan stood there with a pale face.
His legs were still shaking.
His eyes were fixed on the carriages before him. After a while, he said gloomily, "Ye Xiruo, since you broke the promise, don't blame me for being rude!"
He turned around and stormed back to Yan's residence.
As soon as he entered, Mrs. Zhen rushed over crying, "Master, it's over! We are finished!"
Yan Junyuan pulled her away angrily: "What's over? Speak properly!"
Madam Zhen cried and said, "There is nothing left in the mansion!"
Yan Junyuan frowned: "What's gone?"
Nanny Li stepped forward and said, "Master, the princess has moved all the things out of Madam's room, leaving only the bed!"
Xueqin also said, "The eldest lady also took away all the antiques, calligraphy and paintings in the master's study!"
"what?"
Yan Junyuan hurried to his study.
He pushed open the door of the study and saw at a glance that the treasure shelf was empty, and the few treasured ancient paintings he had hung on the wall had disappeared without a trace.
"Ye! Xi! Ruo!"
Yan Junyuan gritted his teeth. He didn't expect that woman to be so cruel!
He walked quickly to the desk, took out a blank piece of paper and started writing quickly.
After writing a letter, Yan Junyuan handed it to the servant and said solemnly, "Send it to Prince Qi's mansion and deliver it to the Prince of Qi personally."
"Yes."
The servant left in a hurry.
Yan Junyuan's cold face revealed a hint of madness and distortion.
Ye Xiruo, you forced me to do this!
I believe King Qi must be very interested in Yan Qing's life experience!
Back then, Ye Xiruo negotiated with him while she was pregnant. Although he accepted Yan Qing, the bastard, he did not do nothing. Over the years, he had to work very hard to finally find some clues!
Western Zhou Chu State!
