Chapter 114 He actually wanted to divorce her?
Xia Zheng quickly got up and rushed over. Looking at Ruanruan lying in Gu Yizi's arms, smiling happily and waving her little hands as if to say that she hadn't played enough, she finally felt relieved.
The strength that was holding herself up also dissipated, and her body fell down weakly. Fortunately, Gu Yizi's big hand wrapped around her waist and supported her.
But he couldn't look at her now, so he could only turn his eyes away and tell Shuangxue: "Help your aunt well."
Shuangxue immediately stepped forward to take Xia Zheng. Xia Zheng then remembered the taboos during the confinement period and pulled the hood on her head.
At this time, the fight upstairs also stopped, and Wei Qingqing was brought down by two secret guards.
At this moment, there was no emotion in her eyes, as if her soul had left her body. She just stared blankly at the ground, without saying a word.
"Young Master, I just heard from my second sister that Mrs. Huan's daughter sneaked into Yinlin Courtyard and assassinated Xia Zheng. Fortunately, Shuangxue captured the person and sent people to investigate. It was Wei who hid the person in the house and let her in today during the shift change in the bathroom." When Tao Yurong stepped forward, Nanny Wang had already been caught by Changfeng from the house.
"I sent the person, but it's a pity that she was useless and couldn't kill the bitch Xia Zheng. Everything was done by me. It has nothing to do with Nanny Wang. She tried to stop me, so I tied her up. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. I lost. You can kill me or chop me up, it's up to you." Wei Qingqing said without any tone.
Nanny Wang wanted to say something, but when she opened her mouth no sound came out. She could only watch Wei Qingqing cry silently.
Gu Yizi looked at Changfeng inquiringly, and Changfeng nodded.
"The prince's forgiveness last time didn't wake you up. Instead, it made you so jealous that you committed murder and murder, plotting to destroy your own children. Even now, you still stubbornly refuse to change your ways. This time, you will definitely be severely punished."
"Please forgive me, my lord!"
Before Tao Yurong finished her words, an urgent cry for help came from outside the door.
General Wei and Madam Wei rushed over. Seeing their daughter in such a state, the couple was heartbroken but had no time to comfort her. They both knelt in front of Gu Yizi.
"It is because of my poor upbringing and excessive pampering that she has developed such a savage and cruel character. Now that she has committed such a crime, I know that this wicked girl deserves death. I only ask that Your Highness, please spare her life, considering the long-standing friendship between the Wei Family and the Duke's Mansion, the fact that I only have this one daughter, the relationship between her and your husband and concubine, and the fact that she just lost her child."
"Please, my lord, spare my son's life."
General Wei and his wife bowed together and knocked their foreheads heavily on the ground, expressing their deep love for their daughter.
Wei Qingqing's eyes finally turned red, tears fell, and she cried out, "Dad, Mom, don't ask him! My daughter will die! My daughter will die! Don't suffer for me!"
Struggling, Wei Qingqing tried hard to crash into the pillar.
Snapped!
There was a crisp sound.
It was Madam Wei's slap that hit Wei Qingqing's face so hard that it deflected her and stunned her.
"Just go and die! I'll do whatever you want! If you want to get married, I'll let you marry. If you want to die, I'll die with you!" With that, Mrs. Wei walked towards the pillar.
The speed was so fast that there was no time to stop her. Mrs. Wei hit her head on the pillar, blood gushed out from her forehead, and she fell down.
"Mom!" Wei Qingqing cried out at the top of her lungs.
General Wei did not move, but just knelt on the ground.
Watching everything, Gu Yizi said in a deep voice: "Help Madam Wei into the wing room and call the palace doctor to come and treat her immediately."
Afterwards, Gu Yizi reached out and helped General Wei to his feet. "General, there's no need to do this. I'm also responsible for everything that happened. I failed to take good care of her, causing her to become so delirious. However, her crime today cannot be forgiven lightly. I will punish her with fifty whips and make her kneel in front of the ancestral temple for five days. After that, I will lock her up in the pavilion and allow her to recover."
After hearing about the punishment, Tao Yurong opened her mouth to say something, but was suppressed by Gu Yizi's look.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. I will never forget it."
"My wife is injured, so it would be best if the general stays with her."
Knowing that they were not allowed to talk to Wei Qingqing anymore, General Wei was reluctant to leave but still bowed. He looked at Wei Qingqing deeply and went into the side room.
The guards immediately took Wei Qingqing away for execution.
"Sir, Wei did such a cruel thing, yet she was so lenient. I'm afraid there will be endless troubles in the future. Ruanruan is still young. If one day..."
"If no one instigated or arranged it, she wouldn't be able to hide it so well." Gu Yizi interrupted Tao Yurong, his sharp eyes looking from top to bottom, as if he could see through the skin on her face.
Tao Yurong's face trembled slightly, "My Lord, are you saying that someone else is instigating and assisting the Wei family?"
"Whether it is true or not, I will definitely investigate it thoroughly. The Crown Prince's Consort is in charge of the backyard. She should know clearly what she should and should not do. If she doesn't understand..." Gu Yizi didn't say anything else, but Tao Yurong already understood.
If you don't understand, find someone else.
He actually wanted to divorce her?
He clearly has no evidence, so it's useless to doubt him.
What's more, he values etiquette and law. Even if his heart is as clear as a mirror, he will not divorce her. She is his wife who was married in a formal ceremony. Even if she is unwilling, even if he does not love her, to him, a wife is his wife.
She has a good reputation, so he has no reason to divorce her. It would be disadvantageous to the Duke's Mansion, unless... she has no children!
He... was going to be so decisive towards her?
Just because of Xia Zheng?
"Sir, I have no..."
"The rest of the matter will be left to the Crown Prince's Consort." Gu Yizi left without listening to Tao Yurong's explanation.
Tao Yurong stood there in a daze, looking at Gu Yizi's resolute back without even stopping. She didn't understand.
why?
It’s always been like this in the past.
Even if he had doubts, he wouldn't treat me like this!
Why has it changed?
"I'll take my leave first." Xia Zheng's voice woke Tao Yurong up.
Looking at her, Tao Yurong couldn't suppress the hatred in her eyes.
Because of her appearance, everything became so out of control.
"You must have been scared today, luckily nothing happened."
"Thanks to the Crown Prince's Consort, both I and Ruanruan are safe and sound. Today's difficulties are over. With the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess's protection, we will surely be healthy and prosperous in the future."
Every word he said hit Tao Yurong's sore spot.
She was taking revenge for almost harming Ruanruan.
After showing off, she couldn't do anything to her or Ruanruan anymore.
Just an ant, but now she can't kill it!
"Those who survive a great disaster will surely have good fortune in the future. Let's not talk about other things. You're still in confinement and you're all wet. Go back and change clothes and warm up." Gu Yingxin came up and pulled Xia Zheng up, saying to Tao Yurong politely, "Sister-in-law, I'll take her home first."
Seeing that Gu Yingxin, who had always defended her, had become so close to Xia Zheng without knowing when, Tao Yurong's anger grew even stronger. However, she could only tightly clench the hand in her sleeve and said, "Then I'll trouble you, second sister."
