Lei Ning sneered. If His Majesty hadn't told him not to act rashly, he would have divorced this vicious woman long ago!

He just spared her life because she gave birth to a daughter for him.

"You did something wrong and you still blame others for it. If you think being a mistress is not prestigious, then don't be a mistress."

Mrs. Lei and Lei Nan'er suspected that they had heard it wrong.

"Aye, you...what are you talking about?"

Mrs. Lei held Lei Nan'er in her arms and said, "Damn it! You said this in front of the child! She must be so scared after hearing it!"

The matter of divorce has been brought to light. No matter whether he was too angry and didn't think it through, Mrs. Lei decided that this time, no matter what Lei Ning said, she would ignore him for a month!

Lei Ning took Lei Nian'er and left, leaving a message: "From today on, you don't have to be the housekeeper."

Lei Naner screamed in disbelief: "Aye! Aren't you afraid that mother will ignore you?"

In the past, when his mother was angry and ignored him, his grandfather would rush to coax her.

Mrs. Lei was also waiting for her daughter to say this, and then Lei Ning would realize his mistake and come and apologize to her.

She sat upright in the chair with a haughty attitude.

Unexpectedly, General Lei sneered: "You don't want to pay attention to me? That's good, then don't leave the main courtyard, so as not to cause trouble to others again."

Mrs. Lei was also confused now. All the methods that had worked before were no longer effective.

"General! How could you do this to me!"

Seeing Lei Ning was unmoved, Mrs. Lei laughed in anger: "Okay, then lock me up. Don't even think about me seeing you again!"

Mrs. Lei didn't believe that she would really be under house arrest. She couldn't be under house arrest. If she couldn't see Lei Ning for a long time, how could she listen to her parents and lure Lei Ning to death?

General Lei ignored her and left with Lei Nian'er.

Mrs. Lei's eyes were bloodshot, she never thought that Lei Ning, the damned one, would actually dare to lock her up here!

The servants in the general's mansion were terrified. In the past, they had helped the second young lady bully the eldest young lady.

Unexpectedly, the eldest lady has turned over now. The general personally took her out of the main courtyard and even put the lady under house arrest for her.

When the steward saw it, he immediately ordered, "Quick, go and make up all the clothes and charcoal that were withheld from the eldest lady and the concubine, and send a few good ones as apology."

His son thought it was unnecessary. "Dad, if the Madam knew that we took advantage of her downfall to curry favor with that little girl, and then succeeded in currying favor with the general, who knows how she would deal with us."

When the steward heard this, he also hesitated, because the lady's temper would not tolerate any sand in her eyes.

His son continued to analyze: "Although I don't know why the general is so angry, but husband and wife quarrel at the head of the bed and make up at the foot of the bed. When the general calms down, he will have to comfort his wife."

The steward thought it made sense. The lady had been in charge of the Lei family for five or six years, and had always been loved and respected by the general.

The two had quarreled before, and the general was the one who had to admit his mistakes humbly.

Even if the eldest daughter temporarily receives the general's love, she can never compare to the lady.

Thinking of this, the steward relaxed and said, "Then don't worry about it."

When he went to court in the morning, the emperor also carried Bei Jingchu up to the emperor so that he could listen to her thoughts and get more information.

Fortunately, he was conscientious enough not to wake Bei Jingchu up, but just moved her to another place to sleep.

When Bei Jingchu woke up, she heard court officials asking the emperor to adopt a son.

"Your Majesty has been an adult for two years and has only one daughter. To ensure the safety of the country, please adopt the son of the royal family."

Bei Jingchu immediately rubbed his eyes and cheered himself up.

She had heard of an emperor in history who was forced by court officials to adopt someone else's child because he had no heir.

However, after that child succeeded to the throne, he treated his daughters badly, and the eldest princess was even abused to death by her husband.

However, the emperor was kind and weak, so the ministers were able to succeed.

But her cheap dad is not like that.

Bei Jingchu could already foresee that they were going to be in trouble.

"You are so bold! Your Majesty is in the prime of life, why do you need to consider the crown prince? Are you cursing Your Majesty to die young?"

"Of course not! It's just that there has been no prince, the country is unstable, and the court is in unrest!" The minister retorted and bowed in the direction of the dragon throne.

"Your Majesty, please adopt a son as soon as possible."

[Look, my handsome dad’s back teeth are about to break. ]

Hearing that Bei Jingchu had woken up, the emperor looked down and saw her biting her fingers, looking extremely comfortable.

Suddenly I felt it was an eyesore.

I can't bear to see her so happy. I really want to send her to school.

Bei Jingchu didn't know that her princess life of eating, drinking and having fun for the rest of her life was changed because she was too leisurely watching plays.

The people below were arguing endlessly, and the emperor watched with his eyes lowered, taking note of the two factions.

According to what the little guy said, Prince Lu didn't want him to have children and wanted to inherit the throne.

Then those who opposed the adoption were the people under the King of Lu.

For those who support adoption and have proposed candidates, it is self-evident who they are loyal to.

After remembering who belonged to whom, the emperor raised his hand.

Seeing this, Eunuch Jiang stepped forward and shouted: "Silence——"

The emperor spoke only after the hall fell silent.

He spoke in a low voice, and the hall was empty, so if you didn't listen carefully you wouldn't be able to hear clearly.

But none of the ministers standing below dared not to listen carefully. They all concentrated their attention, fearing that they would miss a single word.

"The Minister of the Central Secretariat."

"The minister is here."

The Minister of the Secretariat was the highest-ranking official among the powerful officials.

Only the emperor's confidant could sit in this position, so the emperor was very disappointed in him.

"What benefit did Prince Huayuan give you that made you propose to adopt his son?"

The Minister of the Central Secretariat did not dare to answer, but knelt down and cried, "I am innocent, I have only been thinking for Your Majesty."

The emperor didn't need his answer. It was nothing more than conferring titles on his heir after he succeeded to the throne. The brat wasn't satisfied with being a powerful official for a dynasty, so he wanted the next generation to have a prominent family as well.

The emperor said in a deep voice: "In consideration of your past achievements, I will give you one chance, just one."

The Minister of the Chancellery had been frightened to the point of shivering, but in a flash, the situation took a sudden turn for the better, and he could not help but feel deeply grateful for the emperor's grace.

"My lord, thank you Your Majesty!"

After seeing this, the court officials no longer dared to discuss the issue of adopting an heir, and Prince Lu and his party were relieved.
