The lady of Chongxi has supernatural powers and is favored by the powerful official

Back then, Xie Qingrou, the eldest daughter of the Xie family, was a person that even the palace was concerned about.

The former queen was seriously ill, so the queen mother sent someone to the Xie family to give some advice, and planned to have the eldest daughter of the Xie family, Xie Qingrou, enter the palace and be crowned queen directly.

But the Xie family did not want to be involved with the deep palace. In addition, the old Marquis Nangong had saved the life of the head of the Xie family, so they proposed to marry the eldest daughter of the Xie family as the future mistress of the Nangong family.

The then Crown Prince, now the Marquis Nangong Su, was also very handsome, and he performed well on the battlefield following the old Marquis.

In order to repay this favor, Patriarch Xie agreed to the marriage and at the same time he also ended his involvement with the palace.

However, Xie Qingrou was not liked by the old marquis' wife at all because she wanted her daughter from the Zhu family to continue to be the mistress of the Nangong family.

The Zhu family was already in decline, and without the support of the Nangong Marquis Mansion, they would have been unable to survive in the capital.

Zhu Xinlan also wanted to seek help from the old marquis' wife. As soon as the marquis' wife was diagnosed with pregnancy, she climbed into her cousin Nangong Su's bed.

Nangong Su was born a military general, and he felt pressured to get along with a talented woman like Xie Qingrou.

But for a woman like Zhu Xinlan who is deliberately trying to please and curry favor with others, just a little bit of trickery can make a man like Nangong Su have her under her control.

With the support of the old marquis' wife, it would be easy for Zhu Xinlan to get the power of housekeeper.

Xie Qingrou understood the twists and turns in this matter, but she was disappointed with this marriage, so she decided to live her own life in the courtyard and educate her son well. She didn't care about the big or small things in the mansion.

But after her son got into trouble this time, many things irritated the Marquis's wife. She was afraid that she could no longer live a quiet life behind closed doors, as others were overreaching.

He almost took his son's life.

Son is Xie Qingrou’s bottom line.

Xie Qingrou was grateful to Gu Ruoxi for saving her son, and when she was preparing the return gift, she added 20% more.

But after interrogating Matron Liu and the two maids, she asked Matron Yang to reduce her sentence by three points.

"You can give the lost weight to my daughter-in-law. Madam Yang, this girl is so pitiful. We have to take better care of her in the future."

In the afternoon, Nangong Yu asked Qingqiu to come over and inform him that he wanted to prepare a special gift for the aunt who gave birth to Gu Ruoxi.

The Marquis's wife thought for a moment and prepared a few pieces of cloth, some good incense, and some exquisite cakes.

These are neither eye-catching nor abrupt.

But she also asked Madam Yang to prepare a purse, which contained two silver notes, each worth 100 taels, and some small change.

This was only given when I met Aunt Shu alone.

When returning home, the Marquis's wife planned to let Nanny Yang go with her. As for the marriage exchange, although the Marquis's Mansion had accepted Gu Ruoxi, they also wanted to hear the other side's attitude.

Ruoxi was born out of wedlock, and if she became his daughter-in-law, then she could not weaken her own power and enhance the prestige of others.

Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion still wants to control Ruoxi as before, but that's impossible.

Unexpectedly, before dark, the Marquis came over and asked about returning home.

The Marquis's wife knew that this matter concerned the reputation of the Marquis's mansion, so she told him about her plans. The Marquis listened and said:

"Then I'll let the housekeeper from the outer courtyard go with them. The inner courtyard will be left to Nanny Yang. The Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion must give an explanation for the marriage exchange."

When Madam Hou heard what he said, she frowned slightly and said:

"Yu'er has already entered the bridal chamber. Do we really need to switch her back? Besides, it's Ruoxi's turn to be the bride. If she were replaced by Gu Ruolan, there's no telling whether Yu'er would wake up."

The Marquis glared at his wife:

"What is Yu'er's status? Yu'er will be standing beside the emperor in the future. You want him to marry a concubine's daughter as his principal wife?"

Madam Hou smiled briefly, but her smile did not reach her eyes:

"What are you planning to do, Lord? Marry your son a legitimate daughter as his principal wife? And then have your son follow your example and marry a principal wife and keep a concubine?"

"You...we are talking about Yu'er, don't bring up that."

The Marquis said with some irritation.

The Marquis's wife twitched her lips without commenting.

Marquis Chang Yong felt that Xie Qingrou's smile was a mockery of him.

"You know that the emperor values ​​Yu'er. Yu'er will definitely go further than me in the future. The Marquis of Changyong's Mansion will also rely on Yu'er to be promoted. So, how could his wife be a concubine, and a concubine who is not presentable? I asked someone to check, and her biological mother is not even a concubine."

"Regardless of what virtues or abilities this woman has, she and her aunt were both abandoned in the Marquis's mansion. They were sent to the Duke of Qin's mansion to die, but you are lucky enough to have picked up a treasure."

Xie Qingrou didn't even want to argue with him anymore.

Just sitting there, looking at him calmly, he said:

"Yes, she is here, my son is awake. I hold her in my hands like a treasure, what's the matter?"

"She would rather die than be a widow of your Nangong family. What's the point of having a legitimate daughter like her?"

The Marquis said angrily:

"I didn't say that it must be from Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion. I just said that Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion must give my Changyong Marquis' Mansion an explanation on this matter. If you want to marry a wife, you can look for someone else. Are you afraid that there is no one suitable in the capital?"

Xie Qingrou looked at Chang Yonghou coldly:

"Yes, the Zhu family has several unmarried girls waiting! If the old marquis hadn't arranged a marriage for Yu'er in advance, if Yu'er hadn't loved herself, and the girls of the Zhu family were good at climbing into bed, wouldn't they have climbed into bed long ago by imitating her? Not only can she be the legal wife, she can also be a concubine."

Marquis Changyong stood up suddenly and glared at his wife with eyes that looked like they were about to bleed.

Is this another case of hitting him in the sore spot?

"Xie Qingrou! Don't think I don't dare to divorce you!"

Xie Qingrou also stood up and said:

"Nangong Su, don't think I don't dare to ask for a divorce! I don't like anyone in this Nangong family except my son. You are not qualified to divorce me, but I am almost the same as divorced you."

What words did Chang Yonghou seem to hear?

Divorce! ?

The Marquis's wife told him that she wanted to ask for permission for a divorce!

"you dare!"

Chang Yonghou said in a deep voice.

Madam Hou slowly sat down and said calmly:

"Nangong Su, there's nothing I'm afraid of. I've always wanted to divorce since the day I gave birth to Yu'er, but for the sake of the child, I've endured it again and again."

"My tolerance makes you think that my Xie family is easy to control? Didn't your mother say that she wanted to divorce me? Has your Nangong family produced the rules? What is the divorce method? I want to hear it!"

Marquis Changyong was so angry that his face turned red. He pointed at his wife but didn't say a word. Then he turned around and left Wutong Courtyard.

As soon as he left, Nanny Yang came in and sighed:

"Ma'am, why are you doing this?"

Xie Qingrou sneered and said:

"You also heard what they meant. The Zhu family's daughters didn't get married, so they planned to put the blame on Yu'er."

"Madam, you can't bring up the idea of ​​divorce. You're already a mother-in-law."

"Madam Yang, if I don't want a divorce, am I still waiting for him to divorce me?"
