The pretty widow is addicted to money, and the little wolfdog asks for a hug

Xiao Lingxin was also conferred the title of a second-rank imperial lady, which was four or five levels higher than his rank as a county magistrate. If he had the chance to meet her in the future, he would pay great respects to Xiao Lingxin!

When they were divorced, he once said to Xiao Lingxin contemptuously that without him, Xiao Lingxin would end up living alone. No man would marry an old woman who was divorced because she had been toyed with by others and could not have children, so she could not carry on the family line.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Lingxin married a peasant, and in the end the peasant became a marquis!

What made County Magistrate Lu even more angry was that Xiao Lingxin actually gave birth to a son for that peasant.

When Xiao Lingxin was with him, she only got sick.

Magistrate Lu was extremely desperate.

He knew that his official career in this life was over. If he worked honestly, he could keep everything he had. But if he dared to do anything, he would be doomed.

When he thought about having to bow his head several times in front of Xiao Lingxin's peasant husband, he felt as if maggots were crawling all over his body and was extremely uncomfortable.

Magistrate Lu sat dejectedly in his study, not understanding why he had ended up in his current situation.

He clearly tried hard and used every means to climb up, but after climbing for most of his life, he was still standing where he was, and his situation was getting worse and worse, and his life was becoming more and more hopeless.

He thought Xiao Lingxin loved him terribly, and no matter how he humiliated Xiao Lingxin, Xiao Lingxin would still love him as her life. He didn't expect that she would change her mind overnight and want to divorce him, and they would never meet again.

He thought Ke Cai'er was weak and charming and needed his protection. There was no interest involved between them and it was true love. For Ke Cai'er, he did his best to be indifferent to Xiao Lingxin, and even protected his body for Ke Cai'er and did not sleep with Xiao Lingxin. But in the end, he still got tired of Ke Cai'er.

He discovered that Ke Cai'er was actually a vulgar, hypocritical, and cruel woman.

Why would he abandon the kind-hearted Xiao Lingxin for a vicious woman?

He is indeed blind.

If he had been nicer to Xiao Lingxin and more concerned about Yue Shi, would things not have turned out like this?

Suddenly remembering something, Magistrate Lu's brows suddenly frowned, and he immediately ordered people to drive Aunt Ke and her son and daughter out of the house and sever all ties with them.

Back then, Ke Cai'er and her son (and daughter) bullied Xiao Lingxin and her son in every way. Xiao Lingxin and Yue Shi will definitely not forget this, especially Yue Shi, who must be holding a grudge against her.

Magistrate Lu knew his son well. Although he was once physically weak, he was a very deep-minded person and his methods were ruthless.

Unexpectedly, before Magistrate Lu drove her away, Ke Cai'er had already fled with all the valuables in the mansion, her two sons and a daughter.

When she heard that Xiao Lingxin became a marquise and Xiao Yueshi became the Minister of Revenue, she was so scared that she trembled all over and immediately decided to take her children and escape to a place where no one knew them.

However, Ke Cai'er didn't know at that time that her two sons had already lost their fertility, and even the bridal chamber became a problem because they were simply inhumane.

She and her daughter also lost their fertility.

All that awaits them in this life is endless suffering.

All of this had already been planned by Xiao Yueshi. The Imperial Palace.

The full moon banquet for the five little princes was held in Guanghua Palace.

The guests lined up at the palace gate with their invitations, waiting to be inspected.

When it was the family of five's turn, the soldier at the gate said sternly, "You are not allowed in without an invitation."

The middle-aged man stepped forward and said with a flattering smile: "Sir, my name is He Maoshi. I was originally the head of Tuniu Village. I am from the same hometown as the Empress, and we used to have a very good relationship. This time, the Empress must have been too busy and forgot to send an invitation to my family."

He Maoshi's family was shocked when they learned that Zhao Xiaoshi was actually the seventh prince.

They didn't expect that the Seventh Prince was not only alive, but also hid in Tuniu Village and became Gu Qinghuai's cousin Xiao Shitou.

And Gu Qinghuai finally became Queen Yuanhuai!

He Maoshi originally didn't want to make friends with his relatives, but Xiao Huai gave him the tofu recipe and he didn't owe him anything.

However, for the sake of his eldest son He Jinyou, he still wanted to risk his reputation and secure a good future for his son.

Due to the turmoil in the imperial court that year, the imperial examination was suspended, and his son Jinyou was stuck at the Juren level.

He first went to Bi Hai Xuan to visit the Gu family.

The Gu family was still as enthusiastic towards him as ever, but he did not expect that they did not receive any invitations to the full-moon banquet of the five little princes.

He Lizheng roughly guessed why.

His wife and daughter have always been confused and some of them are deliberately targeting Xiao Huai. If something goes wrong at the little prince's full moon banquet, it will be difficult for Xiao Huai to deal with it.

He Lizheng didn't want to come over at first, but Luo and Jinrou kept nagging him, asking him to come over and establish good relations with the emperor's family for Jinyou's future.

Only then did he try it with all his might.

Seeing that they still refused to leave, the guard at the gate repeated loudly again: "Today is the full moon banquet for the little princes. For the safety of the little princes, no one without an invitation is allowed to enter! Please leave quickly and don't block the people behind you! Otherwise, you will be killed without mercy!"

He Maoshi was so frightened that his body trembled, and he immediately pulled his family towards the carriage in the distance.

After getting on the carriage, He Jinrou said angrily, "Humph, that slut Gu Qinghuai must have deliberately not sent us an invitation! What a cunning and treacherous bitch!"

"Snapped!"

"Shut up!" He Maoshi slapped He Jinrou on the face and scolded in a low voice, "Xiao Huai is now the Queen of Yuanzun. Can you slander her casually? If you continue to be so ignorant and speak ill of her, get out of here and go back to Tuniu Village!"

A trace of doubt flashed in He Jinyou's eyes. He looked at He Jinrou and whispered, "Rou'er, why are you so hostile to Queen Gu-Yuanzun? You are so outspoken and will harm our whole family!"

He Jinrou covered her face with tears in her eyes, and stared at He Maoshi with grievance and anger, without saying a word.

Luo said sarcastically, "Humph, what else could it be? If that widow hadn't seduced men and snatched Xiao Shitou away, your sister would be the queen now."

"Pa!" He Maoshi slapped Luo again. He was so angry that he was shaking. He pointed at Luo and scolded her, "How can you teach your daughter like this? Do you know that based on these two words of yours, our whole family will lose their heads! Xiao Shitou has always liked Xiao Huai. When has he ever looked at our Rou'er with a straight face? Don't you open your eyes and see that Rou'er is not comparable to Xiao Huai?"

"You - He Maoshi! Rou'er is your biological daughter! How dare you treat us mother and daughter like this for the sake of outsiders! You...you will not die well!" Luo covered her face and cursed He Maoshi with gritted teeth.

He Maoshi raised his hand and was ready to slap Luo twice more, but He Jinyou raised his hand to stop him.

He Maoshi sighed helplessly: "It is precisely because Rou'er is my daughter that I know what kind of person she is. Today, you insisted on coming to attend the little prince's full moon banquet, just to get close to the emperor. I tell you clearly, give up this idea, otherwise, you will die without knowing how you died!"
