Chapter 324 It’s All For You
Upon seeing this, Xu Yingyuan hurriedly stood up, walked quickly over, and gently soothed her mother's back. Her behavior was gentle, but her words were sharp.
"Mother made a mistake. Emperor Jin Wang's law stipulates that divorce is no longer allowed. In addition, the prerequisite for divorce is the signing of a marriage certificate. As in the case of father and mother living together, the prince has decided that this is called a breakup, and it does not even need to go through the governor's office. Both parties can agree on it themselves."
When Leng Man heard this, she became even more furious.
"How unreasonable?!"
Xu Yingyuan helped her mother sit down again.
"Mother, please be patient."
As soon as Leng Man sat down, she held her daughter's hand tightly, impatiently, as if she was grabbing a life-saving straw.
"Yuan'er, you must save me. Your mother cannot afford to lose face like this..."
Xu Yingyuan smiled faintly, her smile as warm as a spring breeze.
"Don't worry, mother. I'm trying to find a solution."
Even while sitting, Leng Man felt very uneasy, her thoughts racing, and she soon had an idea.
"By the way, I heard that the three siblings of the Zhuang family went out for a trip, but they didn't bring Master Zhuang with them. He was taught by the emperor and has been a very smart person since he was a child. Since you grew up together, you can go and ask him. He may be willing to help you."
There was a hint of fatigue in Xu Yingyuan's eyes, and she looked haggard and weak, seeming even more helpless.
"Mother, you don't know that the shopkeeper of Yiren Qingcheng is Lord Fang! Ning Jiewei is surrounded by many wise men. In front of her is the descendant of the Fang family, who is in charge of all matters; in the back is Princess Yuexi, who is her elder sister. No matter how smart Lord Zhuang is, he is still an ordinary person. How can he beat them?"
Leng Man was shocked and incredulous, and found it hard to understand why such a distinguished uncle would settle for being the shopkeeper of such a small shop.
"She can even invite Lord Fang?"
Xu Yingyuan rolled her eyes disdainfully in the direction of Ning Mansion.
"I heard rumors that she even recognized a foster father."
After hearing this, Leng Man became even more uneasy. After careful consideration, she came up with another idea.
"How about asking Lord Feng?"
Xu Yingyuan looked embarrassed.
"But we are not familiar with her, and it seems that my father has some conflicts with her regarding the Qianyan Snow Mountain incident."
Leng Man looked up disappointedly, feeling discouraged.
"This is God's will to kill me!"
Xu Yingyuan suddenly had an idea and her face was filled with joy.
"I have an idea!"
Leng Man followed Xinran and urged him impatiently.
"Really? Come on, tell me."
The corner of Xu Yingyuan's mouth, which was half raised, quickly fell back down, and she slowly lowered her head, as if she had done something wrong.
"I don't dare to say it, because my mother might get angry."
Leng Man's eyes were as firm as a rock, and she was determined in anger, as if even the storm could not shake her.
"The situation is urgent now, how can I care about trivial matters? The reputation of the Leng clan is the most important, I must not lose to her, just tell me, no matter how difficult it is, I will not hesitate."
Xu Yingyuan felt relieved and told him everything.
"I heard that Lord Fang is still alone..."
As soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Leng Man in anger.
"I am already so old, and I still want to mess around with love affairs. How can you be worthy of the emperor by coming up with such a vicious plan?"
Xu Yingyuan was secretly stubborn, and she hesitated and insisted on finishing her plan.
"Anyway, the emperor has not favored mother for many years... Father is also... Mother is not as good as him... If I can get Lord Fang, why should I worry about not being able to defeat Ning Jiewei?"
Feeling sore in the eye, Leng Man smashed the vase and roared threateningly.
"Xu Yingyuan! Get down on your knees!"
Xu Yingyuan pursed her lips and knelt down as she was told. She was angry and her movements were a little stiff.
"The child knows his fault, and the mother calms down."
It was as if the sky was broken, and the cold and angry rain came down violently with thunder.
"What did I teach you? A woman should not marry two husbands. Have you completely forgotten that?!"
Xu Yingyuan was brewing some dissatisfaction, which sank into the corner of her mouth, and she tried to shirk responsibility.
"It is King Dijin who said that if a couple is not getting along, they can divorce and remarry, and no one can discriminate against them."
The silence of the night set off Leng Man’s roar, which almost sounded like the collapse of heaven and earth.
"Am I divorced? Why would you talk about remarrying?"
Xu Yingyuan was very aggressive and did not show any sign of admitting her mistakes.
"Mother has never been married. She can get married as she pleases after she breaks up with you. No one can stop you."
Leng Man's heart was beating fast, and she felt extremely angry and sad.
"Who said goodbye to me, Master?"
Xu Yingyuan refused to give in and insisted on her own opinion.
"In fact, according to the law, it is not impossible not to break up. As long as my mother moves out and no longer calls us husband and wife, it is reasonable for her to have any contact with any man afterwards."
After scolding her a few times, Leng Man couldn't bear it anymore, so she took the initiative to reach out and help her daughter up.
"If this gets to the emperor's ears, he will inevitably become suspicious again."
Seeing this, Xu Yingyuan smiled sweetly, took her mother's hand, and slowly stood up.
"Just go and see him quietly, and don't let Father know, isn't that enough?"
"Mother, don't be so quick to dislike me. I see that Lord Fang is graceful, calm, free and handsome. His appearance is comparable to that of my father."
Leng Man's anger dissipated, but his face remained gloomy.
"You are so sure. Why don't you go yourself?"
If it were her, Xu Yingyuan would immediately look contemptuous.
"Is mother joking? He is over 40 years old, how can he be a good match for me?"
Leng Man was a little angry and responded with complaints.
"You can tell from your father that all men love young girls. Lord Fang will be overjoyed when he sees you."
Xu Yingyuan smiled and joked deliberately.
"Then should I really try it?"
When Leng Man heard this, she frowned and spoke earnestly, explaining the situation.
"Don't mess around!"
"How can a woman's reputation be damaged? If someone spreads rumors, how will I explain it to Master Xiao Tao?"
Xu Yingyuan sat beside her, leaning on her mother's shoulder, and acted coquettishly.
"I know that my mother loves me the most."
"Mother will go see him tomorrow morning, okay?"
Leng Man thought about it carefully and agreed reluctantly.
"Okay, I'll go see you tomorrow."
Having narrated this point, Gao Jing ended the story.
"They then said that it was all household chores and no longer concerned about Fourth Miss Guanning."
Ning Yunxi smiled suddenly.
"It turns out that the person eavesdropping in the alley was her."
Yan Yu's expression was meticulous.
"Since you are addressing him respectfully as Father Emperor, I think the biological father of Xu Yingyuan and her brother is undoubtedly the Emperor's brother."
As he spoke, he turned to Gao Jing and complained casually.
"Why didn't you tell me this earlier?"
Gao Jing was polite and respectful, and responded solemnly.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I have some thoughts in my mind, but I don't know whether I should speak of them or not. Previously, Your Majesty was deeply disgusted and did not allow us to mention the Fourth Miss Ning."
Yan Yu was stunned at first, then smiled awkwardly.
"Oh, yes, sorry, I forgot about this."
He glanced at the sky and saw that it was already early morning, so he gave the order.
"This morning, you should tell all the ministers that you can mention the fourth sister of the Ning family in the future without having to avoid it."
Gao Jing responded solemnly.
"Yes."
Ning Yunxi's eyes were full of smiles as she met Yan Yu's gaze, pretending to be a little jealous.
"Brother, it's too late for you to fall in love. Fourth sister has already fallen in love with someone else, but she is not married yet. There is still time for everything."
Yan Yu felt interesting after hearing the words.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Seeing that you care for me, I respect you."
As he spoke, he smiled indulgently and lightly hooked the tip of her nose with his long fingers.
"It's all for you!"
Gao Jing couldn't bear to watch it anymore as soon as he saw it, and couldn't help but coughing again.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
