Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 2168

Qin Fangfei's turbulent heart suddenly warmed.

When this matter reached the ears of Tang Chujun and Shi Anxia, it was already the beginning of the Si hour.

The two of them went hand in hand to look for Qin Fangfei.

I originally thought that the place was all gloomy, but as soon as I walked into the cabin, I saw Chi Shuang and Ma Chuyang kneeling and serving tea to Qin Fangfei, their daughter-in-law. The seat next to them was empty, which did not affect the harmonious atmosphere in the room.

Ma Chuyang found an excuse and took Chi Shuang out. He hadn't slept all night, so he had to go back and catch up on some sleep.

Chi Shuang asked, "Can you sleep?"

Ma Chuyang took her hand and said, "What's there to worry about? Even if the sky falls, it's your blanket. Don't be afraid. If this gets reported to the Censorate, we'll have something to argue about."

Chi Shuang smiled and said, "I know my father is not satisfied with me." She was a little nervous at first, but now she felt at ease.

With such a protective mother-in-law and husband at home, life would not be bad. She thought that although her father also protected her mother, he was too attached to filial piety and always endured anger, thinking that as long as he gave in, he would gain people's sympathy.

How can reality be what one wishes for? The evil ones become more evil, and the pitiful ones become more pitiful.

She was afraid of getting married because she was afraid of repeating the same mistakes. At this moment, she felt truly at ease. The corners of her mouth curled up involuntarily, and her fingers gently scratched Ma Chuyang's palm.

Ma Chuyang hit the snake with a stick, "Let's go and consummate the marriage."

Chi Shuang: “…”

You can't even give me a good face.

On the other side, General Ma was complaining to the retired Emperor Shengde, and tears streamed down his face as he spoke of his grievances.

He once said that after the divorce, he still kept a place for his ex-wife Qin Fangfei, thinking that one day the two would reconcile.

Sometimes he said that his son was not close to his family, but it was actually because his ex-wife was instigating things and damaging the harmony between father and son.

He also said that when he divorced his wife, he did not take a penny and went directly to an important border area.

"I just wanted to find a fertile concubine for my son, to carry on the family line, and she changed her son's surname in public!"

"These years, I have been frugal..."

After listening to the old general's nagging complaints, Xiao Yunde's brows gradually twisted into the shape of a "川" (Chuan) character.

When General Ma got to the point of anger, the retired emperor finally sighed and said in the tone of an old comrade, "My dear Ma, your body can no longer bear the fatigue. It is better for you to retire and return home."

General Ma was struck by lightning when he heard this, and his eyes widened.

Xiao Yunde raised his hand to calm his panic and said calmly, "Don't I know that you have made great contributions to the military for half your life? However, even if your military achievements are outstanding, it is not evidence that you treat your wife and children harshly. When you divorced me, I felt sorry for you. Now it seems..."

The rest of the words were not finished, but the meaning was very clear.

Now it seems that the divorce was a good decision, as it gave the woman a way out.

Without mentioning anything else, when the two divorced, it wasn't that General Ma didn't take a penny, but that all the money in the family was saved by Qin Fangfei herself.

All she took away were her own property.

"Ma Qing, you should be a man of conscience. Especially as a man, you should be upright and honest." Xiao Yunde said calmly, "From what I know, your salary is used to support your concubines and illegitimate children."

It would have been fine if he hadn't mentioned the illegitimate son and daughter, but mentioning them was like rubbing salt into General Ma's heart. Why do you think he reacted so strongly to his son's name being changed to "Qin Chuyang"?

The truth is, apart from Ma Chuyi and Ma Chuyang, he has no other biological children! The others are not his children.

His face gradually turned pale.

Xiao Yunde said, "Of course, I know that you also used some of the money to help your poor subordinates. I have to admit that you are a good general. But you are not a good husband, nor a good father. Think about it yourself, have you ever used the household allowance to give to Qin in those years?"

So stop saying “I won’t take a penny when we divorce”, you are kidding me!
