The stunning beauty of Qing Dynasty

—

The news that the eldest daughter of the Song family, who had married into the Liu Mansion, had been granted a divorce by His Majesty himself and returned to the Song family, became a well-known and lively event in the streets and alleys of the capital.

"A woman who married out of state was actually granted a divorce by His Majesty and returned to her parents' home. Could it be that His Majesty couldn't stand it anymore, so he issued an imperial decree to Minister Liu?"

"Big brother, you're mistaken. This isn't the fault of the eldest daughter of the Song family. It's the Liu family who's done something ruthless!"

"The Liu family treated Miss Song very harshly."

"How do you know this?"

The young man in black, dressed like an ordinary citizen, rubbed the back of his head and said mysteriously, "My second cousin's wife, my niece from my cousin's family, is a maid in that mansion. She serves in the main courtyard and told me personally that my second cousin's wife... our relationship is so close, how could it be fake?"

The honest and simple brother who spoke to me nodded seriously.

"Indeed, but, little brother, you haven't told us how the Song family tortured Miss Song."

"Hey, don't be anxious, don't be anxious, listen to me first, have you ever heard of this eldest daughter of the Song family?"

Brother Laoshi shook his head and asked in confusion, "What does this have to do with the divorce between Miss Song and Minister Liu?"

The young man in black choked, "Ahem, why do you have so many questions?"

"Oh, I know, I know."

A man in a brown coat nearby heard the commotion and came over to answer enthusiastically.

Hearing someone's response, the young man in black's eyes lit up. He quickly pulled the man in the brown coat out of the crowd.

"This elder brother is obviously a man of insight. I have to let him explain this news to everyone."

Hearing this, the man in the brown coat, who had just been held by the black-clothed guy and could not resist the force and suddenly appeared in the center of the crowd feeling a little guilty and timid, stood up straight under the expectant gaze of everyone. The man who had never been noticed by the crowd and was full of vanity was satisfied, straightened his chest and nodded calmly.

"Everyone doesn't know this, but Miss Song was a famous daughter before she got married. Not only was she talented and beautiful, she was also smart and kind. In the past, when winter came in the capital, the Song family always set up a pot of porridge at the door to give out."

The young man in black said this, but his eyes were always looking at the man in the brown coat who was carried out.

The man in the brown coat nodded confidently.

That’s right, the Song family always gives out porridge every winter, so Miss Song should be kind since she comes from such a family.

"Also, Miss Song was healthy before she gave her dowry. This elder brother must know that."

The man hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Well, he knew that Miss Song was still the gossip girl as before. Miss Song liked to chase after Minister Liu who was now divorced. He thought she should be in good health.

Seeing the man nod, the young man in black suppressed the joy in his eyes and continued, "How come such a good young lady is now divorced and has become sick? What do you think of the Liu family?"

"Ah, Miss Song's health has become so serious now!"

"If you torture people like this, then the Liu family is definitely not a good place to be."

"Maybe it's just like my mother-in-law, who starves Miss Song every day!"

Everyone was discussing it heatedly, and from time to time a few young wives who were fascinated by the conversation also joined in, automatically substituting Qingyin for themselves, and automatically thinking of the Liu family as their in-laws.

As a result, although some people did not understand why a wealthy family like the Liu family would deliberately torture their wives by not giving them food, just like ordinary people, they were also immersed in this rare gossip in the capital and talked about it enthusiastically.

The young man in black looked at the indignant people, exchanged glances with a girl in the crowd, and quietly disappeared into the center of the crowd.

In this way, his young lady's reputation will be much better, and the Liu family who bullied the young lady should be taught a good lesson.

Liu Mansion.

Liu Yue, who had just returned from working out of town and lost weight due to exhaustion, received the news that his "son" and his wife had been sentenced to divorce by His Majesty.

Father Liu frowned.

Why did His Majesty suddenly issue an order granting Zhier a divorce? Could it be...

Knowing that her son had returned, Old Lady Liu, who had been troubled by the commotion outside the capital over her grandson's wife in recent days, hurried to Liu Yue to complain.

"Son, don't you know how arrogant the Song family's grandson's wife is? Not only did she bring her stingy and shameless mother to annoy an old lady like me, but she also brought a group of people to move things from our house! And she kept saying..."

"mother!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yue frowned and scolded, "Ms. Song has already divorced Zhi'er. You must stop insulting her with these words. Are you saying this so that His Majesty will hear it and blame us?"

Madam Liu's face froze. She glanced at her son hesitantly and retorted softly, "Is this so serious? I was just saying it at home."

Liu Yue looked at Old Madam Liu who refused to correct her mistakes and felt even more restless.

"Master, the Third Young Master is here."

The servant outside the mansion knocked on the door and reported in a low voice.

Liu Yue's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly sent his mother away and asked the servants to call Liu Zhi in.

A handsome and gentle young man walked in wearing a green robe.

Looking at the young man in front of him who still had an outstanding appearance, Liu Yue nodded with satisfaction.

Although the child in front of him was not his biological son, he had personally raised him for so many years, and he had accumulated a lot of affection for him. And when Liu Zhi recognized him as his own son in the future...

Liu Yue concealed the ambition in his eyes and asked Liu Zhi gently but with dignity, "What's going on between you and the Song family now? You even asked the Emperor to personally issue an order."

Liu Yue didn't care at all why Song divorced Liu Zhi. What he cared about was how a woman was involved with the emperor. If Liu Zhi took her back in the future, the emperor would have a bad impression of Liu Zhi, which would not be acceptable.

Liu Zhi hesitated for a moment, lowered his brows, and said, "Song was ill, and it must be that Imperial Tutor Song learned of her illness and felt sorry for her, so he specifically asked His Majesty for an imperial decree."

Liu Yue frowned.

The old man Song Anhuai used to teach the emperor, and they had a teacher-student relationship. Even this marriage was requested for the Song family. Now that they are getting a divorce, I think it is because he loves the Song family. This makes sense.

After thinking about it, Liu Yue's frown relaxed.

"Is Song so seriously ill?"

Seeing Liu Yue asking this, Liu Zhi was stunned for a moment, hiding the complex emotions in his eyes, and nodded with difficulty, "The court doctor has examined him, but it's hard to say how long he will live."

Liu Yue listened, not noticing his son's complicated expression. He said, "Well, in that case, Song Anhuai's request for an imperial decree must have cost the Emperor his last bit of favor. Perhaps the Emperor even dislikes the Song family. You and the Song family shouldn't be too cold, nor too enthusiastic."

"Send some medicinal herbs to the Song Mansion on weekdays."

"Yes, father."

……

The next morning.

"Miss, are you awake?" In the clean, tidy and well-organized courtyard, Bi Yao, with her hair in a flower bud style, came to the door with boiled herbs and asked in a low voice with some nervousness.

"come in."

A soft and gentle female voice came from the house. The maid's ears turned red. She felt that the voice was like a spring breeze caressing her ears, so gentle to the extreme.

It had only been a few days since the eldest lady of the mansion came back, but Bi Yao saw that the extremely fragile eldest lady lying on the bed was becoming more and more fragile and more and more beautiful. Her stunningly beautiful appearance made the servants in the mansion more and more gentle and respectful to this master.

Nowadays, which servant does not envy the maids who serve the eldest lady in Huilanju?

After thinking about it, Bi Yao straightened her chest and walked in proudly.
