The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Shang Xi said, "Uncle, what should we do about Si Niang? I think she has decided to divorce my Uncle Ge."

Shang Xi was feeling very conflicted. She couldn't stand the thief and whore Ge Dongqing who spent all his time sleeping with willows and flowers. She had already defined Ge Dongqing, who always talked about benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness, as a hypocritical hypocrite.

What a good woman Lu Siniang is. She is open-minded, generous, chivalrous and righteous. How many women like her can be found in this world? She is neither humble nor arrogant. She has followed Ge Dongqing and endured humiliation for so many years. Lu Siniang jumped into a fire pit by marrying Ge Dongqing. If she wants to get out of the fire pit, she can only divorce her husband.

In the past, Shang Xi would have supported Lu Siniang in divorcing her husband, but now it was difficult to deal with the matter! Cheng Youning was the instigator of the breakup between Ge Dongqing and Lu Siniang, which inevitably made Shang Xi selfish.

The two can divorce, but they must not do so under Cheng Youning's instigation. As the saying goes, it is better to demolish a temple than to break up a marriage. If Ge Dongqing and Lu Siniang divorce, then Cheng Youning will be the culprit. This child Cheng Youning will lack great virtue.

Wan Lianxing directly stated his attitude, and his strong attitude did not allow for argument. "If I don't agree to her divorce, she can't. To be honest, Si Niang is at this age. Life will not be easy if she leaves the Ge Mansion. I remember that she is one year older than me. What can she do if she leaves the Ge Mansion? Live alone for the rest of her life or remarry? At her age, what good candidates can she remarry? If she doesn't remarry, she will be left without a husband and children. How miserable will she be for ten thousand years! Shang Xi, when you have time, go and comfort Si Niang Lu. You two don't have to worry about the prince's affairs. Even if he runs away to the ends of the earth, I will bring him back to her."

Shang Xi was listening attentively when Wan Lianxing suddenly changed the subject to Cheng Youning. Shang Xi was moved by the words Wan Lianxing said before, which were all about appealing to Lu Si Niang's feelings and reasoning. But why did it change when it came to Cheng Youning?

Shang Xi swallowed hard. Thanks to her son, her throat was dry, as if it had been cut by a blade. She sighed in her heart that Youning might be destined to be monitored and hunted. With Wan Lianxing's desire for control, if she were Cheng Youning, she would probably run faster than Cheng Youning.

"I will visit the Ge Mansion tomorrow." Shang Xi had already been trained by the Wan family. Although she felt reluctant, she still agreed to what Wan Lianxing asked her to do. However, she was really ashamed to face Lu Siniang and Uncle Ge. Thinking about the past, they had also gone to the bandit's lair to rescue He Ye.

Wan Lianxing also noticed Shang Xi's embarrassment. Many people were affected by this incident and many people should be punished. Considering that the circumstances were not serious, he let those ministers deceive him. He even didn't want to give Ge Dongqing the thirty strokes of the cane.

"Your Uncle Ge's little affair is indeed shameful, and it's also shameful for me as your eldest brother. But what can I do to him? He can't even withstand a light thirty lashes, so how can he survive if I hit him harder? He is my sworn brother and a founding hero of the country I'm begging for. When I unify the Southern Yan Kingdom and Dalang, those who have followed me for many years will be granted titles and appointed as prime ministers. So it's not a loss for Lu Si Niang to follow your Uncle Ge."

Shang Xi would listen to whatever Wan Lianxing said, but she would not tell Lu Siniang what Wan Lianxing said. Lu Siniang hated Ge Dongqing to the core and was very disappointed with him. She was not interested in Ge Dongqing's promotion. What she needed most urgently right now was to draw a clear line between herself and Ge Dongqing.

Ge Dongqing was truly excessive, spending more than half of his monthly salary on Jiao Man Lou. Even the bestowal of titles and titles wouldn't change a man so addicted to alcohol and sex, and he'd still end up using his salary to support prostitutes. Si Niang wouldn't get anything out of him except anger and embarrassment.

Just when Shang Xi and Cheng Feng were about to leave, Wan Baiqian came hurriedly.

As soon as he entered the room, he asked the people inside: "What's going on? The whole city is looking for the prince. Where did Youning go?"

Wan Baiqian came from Prince Pang's mansion. When she learned that everyone in the city was looking for the prince, she went to Prince Pang's mansion to inquire. As a result, she sat in the mansion for an hour but Cheng Feng and Shang Xi didn't come back. She had no choice but to come to the palace to inquire about Cheng Youning's whereabouts.

Shang Xi said, "Sister, your nephew is a jerk. He and Qiao Rong rode two horses and headed north."

"Who cares if he's heading south or north? Just chase him! I went out on the streets today, and everyone in the city was talking about Youning. There were all sorts of rumors, some saying it was good, some saying it was bad, and I was really getting nervous."

"My uncle has sent people to capture him. They are all experts and should be able to catch him before he enters Dalang." Shang Xi had prayed silently in her heart countless times. She hoped that Cheng Youning would appear in front of her immediately and unharmed.

"Da Lang?"

Shang Xi told the whole story in detail, and also talked about Cheng Youning's recent abnormal behavior. She almost said that Cheng Youning might have run away from home because of overwork.

Shang Xi then told Wan Baiqian about Cheng Youning's teasing of Ge Dongqing. After that, Shang Xi complained to Wan Baiqian with a sense of guilt: "Sister, you said your nephew is such a bastard, but he has caused Lu Si Niang so much trouble."

Wan Baiqian immediately cleared her nephew of all charges, her tone quite righteous, "Ge Dongqing was beaten, Lu Siniang was humiliated, what has Youning got to do with it? Isn't this all Ge Dongqing's fault?"

Wan Lianxing coughed lightly and said, "Bai Qian, if you can't speak properly, then go back to where you came from."

"Hey, my little uncle, Ge Dongqing is so grateful that he recognized you as his elder brother. You only gave him thirty lashes for favoring a prostitute and killing his wife? You are truly fair and impartial."

"Don't be sarcastic. Your Uncle Ge is weak and can't stand being beaten. If it weren't for calming down this storm, I wouldn't even want to hit him with a stick." Wan Lianxing felt sorry for Ge Dongqing when he thought of the way he pretended to be dead and cried.

"Hahahaha, can you blame someone else for his frail body? Just because he's frail, does that mean he can't follow the law? Uncle, don't you think about why he's frail?"

"Why?"

"That's because he's been drained by his daily indulgences. He can't blame anyone else."

"What nonsense! Bai Qian, as a woman, don't say such nonsense. It's a disgrace to our royal family. Your uncle Ge couldn't bear the beating because Lu Si Niang whipped him before the execution."

"A beating of the whip is nothing more than physical pain. He is lucky to have a strong relationship. The emperor of the current dynasty is her elder brother and protects him everywhere. He also married the good-tempered Lu Si Niang."

"Do you understand Lu Siniang? Do you know that your uncle Ge was beaten to pieces by Lu Siniang?"
