Chapter 41: The Abandoned Wife of the Number One Scholar 19
Xiao Liang left.
Mu Qingqing really left as she said and handed Cui'er two letters, one for her to give to Xiao Liang later and the other for her to keep.
Cui'er was puzzled. Since the little mute didn't sell himself to the young lady, would he come back after leaving?
Cui'er didn't ask any more questions and put it away obediently.
Cui'er stayed in the small courtyard to take care of the flowers and plants in the yard, as well as Mu Sisi, the former owner of the well.
Mu Qingqing returned to the city alone, taking the official road. Before she entered the city, she was captured by Chen Changpu, the top scholar.
How could he, as smart as he is, not see that what happened to Ye Qiusang on their wedding night was staged by her?
But it was such a pity that she had put so much effort into training Zhou Zeqi and even schemed against Chen Changpu before the exam, but she still failed to snatch the title of top scholar from him.
Zhou Zeqi ranked second, just below Chen Changpu.
"Why are you doing this?" Chen Changpu didn't understand. She seemed to have always hated him. She had hurt him time and time again, but he always deceived himself that it was a coincidence.
Now that Ye Qiusang’s death was used to slander him, he could no longer deceive himself.
"So what? A husband and wife are bound by a hundred days of grace. Do you want to kill your wife?"
Mu Qingqing looked at him without any fear, her beautiful eyes filled with hatred for Chen Changpu.
Chen Changpu was stunned by what she said, and didn't understand: "What do you mean?"
"Don't you think my name sounds familiar?"
Chen Changpu muttered: "Mu Qingqing, the eldest lady of the Mu family, Mu Qingqing."
She added, "It's also your wife, Mu Qingqing, who saved your life."
"I don't know what you misunderstood. I was indeed saving you that day. I never thought I could get anything from you. I just didn't want to see a life being destroyed in vain in front of me."
Tears filled her eyes, and her frail figure was shaky, but she looked up at him stubbornly: "I didn't know that saving a person would cost such a huge price. My reputation has been damaged, so I can only marry you. I have no choice."
"But you abandoned me on the wedding day. Do you know how humiliated I was?"
Chen Changpu's slender figure shook several times. He tried to support Mu Qingqing with trembling hands, but she suddenly pushed him away as if he were some kind of monster.
"Qingqing, I... I don't know." If he knew that Mu Qingqing was his wife, let alone escaping from the marriage, he would definitely be more than happy to have her. How could he treat her like that?
"My dear, it's all my fault. I made you feel wronged. You should blame me."
Mu Qingqing smiled sarcastically, tears rolling down her fair cheeks, "Unfair? What kind of unfairness is this? After you left, your family became my nightmare."
"Qingqing, I was wrong, please forgive me. Let's live a good life in the future, okay? Let's start over and forget about the past, okay?" Chen Changpu looked at Mu Qingqing pleadingly.
Mu Qingqing seemed to have heard a ridiculous joke. "Start over, can I start over? Your brother disregarded ethics and pretended to be you and climbed into my bed... Your mother sold me to a brothel to protect the innocence of your Chen family. If I hadn't met a kind person who helped me, I might have died."
"Now the only thing that keeps me alive is hatred!"
Chen Changpu stood still as if struck by lightning. He had never thought that his family would be so excessive and hurt his wife like this.
His heart felt like it was being gripped by a large hand. Every breath he took was filled with pain, and his fingers trembled uncontrollably.
The explanation given by the eloquent top scholar at this moment was pale and powerless.
"Qingqing...I am guilty, I deserve to die, I am the one who harmed you."
No wonder Qingqing wanted to kill him, he really deserved to die.
Chen Changpu is the source of all suffering, he really deserves to die, but now is not the time.
Things started with him and should end with him.
Mu Qingqing: "You and I were originally husband and wife, and we shouldn't have come to this point. Everything is my fate."
Mu Qingqing's eyes were lifeless and dull.
"It's not right, Qingqing. We are the ones who should die. Qingqing should have been the most honorable and happiest person."
Chen Changpu's eyes flashed fiercely: "Don't worry, Qingqing, I will help you get revenge."
Mu Qingqing's eyes moved slightly, "He is your brother, can you do that to him?"
"Don't worry, my dear. The hatred of having your wife stolen is irreconcilable."
As for his mother, he let her live in the mountains after a life of wealth and glory and the loss of her young son. This would be considered as his fulfillment of filial piety and a return of love to his lover.
The soldiers surrendered without fighting and asked for marriage with the princess. Chen Changshan returned victorious and was named the ever-victorious general. His Majesty was very pleased and held a three-day banquet in the palace to congratulate him.
As the new top scholar, Chen Changpu was naturally present.
The two brothers met after a long separation, and they exchanged greetings with fake smiles at the banquet.
His Majesty was pleased and wanted to grant the two a marriage immediately.
"As the new number one scholar, I grant you a marriage with Princess An Ning. What do you think?"
He has many princesses, but only one eldest princess, so naturally she is different.
Chen Changshan curled his lips and looked at Chen Changpu as if he was watching a joke. He already had a wife at home, but he still needed the emperor to grant him a marriage. What should he do!
My dear, this is the husband you have chosen.
The murderous aura accumulated on the battlefield during this period of time has caused him to undergo a huge transformation. Just by sitting there, he could feel the heavy murderous aura.
Chen Changpu was prepared to be dismissed from his position and declined: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. I dare not lie to Your Majesty. I already had a wife before I entered the palace. Therefore, I have no chance to be with the princess."
Xiao Liang also spoke out to stop the foreign prince who had a strong presence in the palace: "Your Majesty, wait a minute, let's not talk about whether he has a wife or not.
Our country came here to ask for the handover of your princess to show the peace between our two countries. Why are you marrying Princess An Ning to someone else in front of me today?"
"Don't you think highly of me, Xiao Liang?" If he fights with Chen Changshan, both sides will suffer losses.
The war was unfriendly to the people of both sides. Under the leadership of "An Ning", he had seen many homeless refugees and understood their hardships.
The person sent to protect "An Ning" came back to report that she was picked up by the new top scholar, so he decided to make peace.
Emperor: "It is An Ning you want to marry?"
"Yes, I will marry Princess An Ning."
Emperor: "Why are you obsessed with peace?"
Xiao Liang: "The princess has done me a favor, so I am withdrawing my troops to take it."
The emperor was delighted. "It is a blessing for our dynasty that your son has such a broad mind. Approved!"
Chen Changpu and Xiao Liang's eyes met in the air, and both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Changshan felt something was wrong. According to the time calculation, Xiao Liang must have been rescued by someone when he disappeared, but... according to the information he found, the princess had never left the city and Xiao Liang had also entered the city.
If something is fishy, it means someone did it on purpose.
Chen Changshan kept his troops in place, waiting for the emperor to speak.
The mistake just now made the emperor cautious: "My dear Chen."
Chen Changshan and Chen Changpu looked over at the same time. The emperor glanced at Chen Changpu and cast a loving gaze at Chen Changshan: "Are you married, my dear?"
"Never."
The emperor was happy, and then he heard Chen Changshan say, "I already have someone I like, and I beg Your Majesty to grant me marriage."
The emperor was amused. "Who?"
Chen Changshan said in a resounding voice, "The daughter of the former prime minister, Mu Qingqing."
