Chapter 139 She Wants a Divorce, No One Can Stop Her
"After all, divorce is not a reward but a severe punishment in the eyes of the world."
"You and Ziqian have achieved great merit together, but His Majesty issued an imperial decree of divorce before Ziqian returned. How will the people who don't know the inside story view this?"
"What would the soldiers who serve their country think?"
"They fought bravely on the battlefield, but the emperor kept them separated from their families in the rear."
"Only after Ziqian asks for a co-wife will the emperor issue you an imperial decree for divorce, and that will be the logical outcome."
"When the people discuss this matter in the future, they will only say that you have a strong character, or that Ziqian abandoned his wife, but they will not accuse the emperor of being indiscriminate in rewarding and punishing."
"Alas, the royal family is ruthless. The emperor will not let your affairs affect his image in the hearts of the people."
"Whether you accept it or not, you can only wait. The only thing I can guarantee is that the imperial decree of divorce will be delivered, just sooner or later."
Su Yujiao nodded: "Thank you, Queen."
"Go back first, don't think too much. Even if you divorce Ziqian in the future, I will still treat you like my own child."
"I'll ask Aunt Yu to take you back."
Su Yujiao shook her head: "Don't bother Aunt Yu, I'll go back by myself."
"I don't want anyone to know that I've been to the palace."
The queen nodded and sighed. This child was really suffering, and she was afraid that something unexpected would happen.
"Alright, I'll have someone escort you secretly so you don't show up in public."
"Thank you Queen."
"Go change your clothes with me first, otherwise if someone asks you about it, what will you say?"
"Ah."
Su Yujiao returned to the general's mansion alone. When the housekeeper learned that the young lady had returned, he immediately reported it to Zhou.
Zhou came out of the inner courtyard in a hurry and asked in surprise, "Jiaojiao, why did you come back by yourself?"
"Where's Old Seven? Didn't he come back with you?"
According to previous practice, Lu Ziqian would always return triumphantly after winning a battle and would never come back quietly.
Su Yujiao said in a normal tone, "I came back early. He's still dealing with the handover and aftermath, so it'll probably be a while."
"I missed my child, so I came back early."
When talking about the child, Zhou couldn't stop smiling. She took Su Yujiao's hand and walked into the house, talking about the child's interesting stories all the time.
"The child has grown a lot in the few months you've been away. He's different every day, and he hasn't cried or made a fuss. He's so well behaved."
"I've never had such an easy-to-care-for child."
"And this child is really looking more and more like you and Ziqian. Especially An Yan, he looks exactly like Old Seven when he was little. Everyone who sees him says they look alike."
"If I say that the two children are not your biological children, I guess no one will believe me."
"It's said that this child is destined to be with you. I find it magical just by looking at him."
When Zhou talked about her two children, she couldn't stop talking.
Su Yujiao frowned slightly when she heard her mother-in-law say that the child looked more and more like Lu Ziqian.
In fact, she didn't want her child to look like Lu Ziqian. If the Lu family knew that An Yan and An Mo were Lu Ziqian's children, she would definitely not take them away.
Su Yujiao smiled and said, "I heard from the old people that children look like the people they are raised by."
"Children nowadays are very smart and tend to look like whoever they often see."
When Zhou heard this, she couldn't stop laughing. She knew that her sons were good-looking, but she overlooked the fact that the two children had never seen Lu Ziqian since they were born.
The two entered the room. Xiaotao was coaxing the children to sleep. When she saw Su Yujiao come in, she stood up excitedly.
"Miss, you are back."
Seeing that the two children were asleep, Su Yujiao made a gesture to silence them.
Xiaotao nodded, indicating that she would not speak.
Su Yujiao walked to the bed, looked at this and that, and couldn't help crying.
She abandoned her child for several months shortly after the birth of the child. She is not a qualified mother.
When Zhou saw her crying, she left quietly.
She is also a mother and can understand Su Yujiao's feelings at this moment.
"Madam, Mo Shu Mo Hua is back."
As soon as Zhou came out of the house, she saw Butler Wang and the ink calligraphy and paintings behind him.
"Why are you back? Is Old Seven back too?"
Mo Shu didn't say anything, but Mo Hua asked anxiously, "Is the young lady back?"
Zhou was stunned. When did Mo Hua become so concerned about Jiaojiao?
"She just got back."
"What happened?"
Mo Hua asked again, "Young Madam didn't mention the divorce to you, did she?"
"Is she emotionally normal?"
Zhou suddenly had a bad feeling: "What happened?"
"Are they fighting again?"
"Why are you talking about divorce again?"
"Did Old Seven bully her again?"
Zhou asked a series of questions anxiously, her face serious: "You two come with me."
"Tell me, what happened?"
"Mo Shu, you speak."
She directly named Mo Shu because Mo Shu would not lie.
Mo Shu hesitated for a few seconds before speaking: "The master wants to marry Chen Yunniang as his concubine. Chen Yunniang is already pregnant with the master's child."
"The master also forced the young lady to protect Chen Yunniang's pregnancy."
"return……"
Zhou's face turned pale. She clutched her chest and was having trouble breathing. She asked angrily, "What else?"
"The master also let the young lady live in Chen Yunniang's tent to serve her and take care of her illness."
"Chen Yunniang, relying on her master's favor, privately punished the young lady. The young lady nearly died at her hands."
"The young lady begged the Crown Prince and fled back to the capital overnight under the protection of the East Palace's secret guards."
After hearing what Mo Shu said, Zhou's body swayed and she almost fainted.
"Madam!" Mo Hua stepped forward and supported her.
"This evil creature... he's courting death. No one can save him this time."
"He doesn't want to live a good life, but has to make such trouble."
"Well, he's just unlucky."
"This time, Jiaojiao wants to divorce, don't stop her. Let her go. It's our Lu family who is sorry for her."
Zhou thought of Su Yujiao crying inconsolably while holding her child, and suddenly understood why she was crying so sadly.
She originally thought it was because the mother missed her child, but she didn't expect...
Mo Shu hesitated again and again: "Madam, let's wait for the master to come back."
"The master said there was a misunderstanding. He has feelings for the young lady and will not agree to a divorce."
Zhou waved her hands helplessly: "It's useless. No one can help him this time."
"It's not a matter of whether he wants to or not. Not everyone will indulge him."
"Our Lu family is too embarrassed to keep her!"
"Tell me about Chen Yunniang. Wasn't she convicted of spreading the plague? Why is she with Ziqian now?"
"Even if he wants to marry, he needs the emperor's consent."
"Could it be that he wants to use his military achievements to buy Chen Yunniang's life? The heinous crimes that Chen Yunniang committed are not something he can use his military achievements to buy off."
Mo Hua curled her lips and said, "She is now the Saintess of Southern Xinjiang. If the Emperor wants to punish her, it would be like declaring war on Southern Xinjiang."
"what?"
"Saint?"
Just as Zhou was about to ask in detail, the housekeeper came again: "Madam, the general is back!"
