The queen is spoiling the king and madly criticizing him for spoiling her

Chapter 186 Don’t Sacrifice Yourself for a Scumbag

Hearing this, Dou Cong looked at Dou Wen in disbelief, "Dad..."

Dou Wen looked back with a warning in his eyes, "Don't call me dad. I don't have a son like you who does all kinds of evil things. You have to bear the consequences of your own evil deeds. If you don't learn a lesson now, you won't change. What's more, you have ruined someone's life."

Dou Wen's tone was filled with sadness, and when he lowered his head, his eyes were red.

Gu Jianchu and Xie Ci'an didn't expect Dou Wen to kill his own relatives for the sake of justice.

He even thought that Dou Wen might plead for his disappointing son.

Xie Ci'an didn't respond immediately. Instead, he was playing with a jade pendant in his hand. "Fifty lashes of the cane, twenty years' imprisonment."

The reason why Dou Wen was so righteous and willing to sacrifice his own family was to protect his unworthy son. He was afraid that his unworthy son would be exiled by the emperor and empress. Previously, those people with bad behavior were exiled to Lingnan and Liaodong. The journey was long, and it was not certain whether they could survive to reach the place of exile.

He was giving his son a chance to survive.

These fifty lashes will kill that brat.

Dou Wen didn't dare to plead any further. After all, the Emperor had reduced his sentence by ten years. "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the lenient punishment. I failed to discipline my son and let him do such a heinous thing. It is my fault. Please, Your Majesty, reduce my punishment."

Dou Wen huddled on the ground, waiting for Xie Ci'an's orders.

"Deduct one year's salary, and give your salary to Guo Wu and Wu as compensation. This can be considered as an explanation to them. In addition, as a father, you are also responsible for what Dou Cong did to Wu. As for compensation, you two families can discuss it."

"Your Majesty, rest assured. I will definitely compensate them on behalf of the Crown Prince." Dou Wen kowtowed continuously. This was the best solution for him.

Wu and Guo Wu kowtowed repeatedly without kneeling, "Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, for taking care of this humble people."

"Get up. What are your plans now, two of you? And the baby in your belly." Gu Jianchu hesitated at the end of his words.

After all, the child in Wu's belly is Dou Cong's. Keeping this child will prove at all times that Wu has been defiled by Dou Cong, which will also affect the relationship between the two. Maybe even bigger conflicts will break out in the future.

Wu said firmly, "Your Majesty, I want to abort this child."

Guo Wu looked at his wife hesitantly, "But your health is not good. I'm afraid aborting the child will have an impact on you."

Despite the quarrels, the relationship between the two is still pretty good.

"If we keep this child, I'm afraid our relationship will never be the same. I can take care of the child if he's not in good health, but I will never keep this child." Mrs. Wu didn't know what her future with Guo Wu would be like, but if she gave birth to a child from a rapist like this, people would also point fingers at her.

"Since you have made the decision, Doctor Lin, please prescribe a prescription for Mrs. Wu, and also prescribe a nourishing prescription to help her take care of her health in the future." Gu Jianchu was very kind to let Doctor Lin help them.

Wu and Guo Wu exchanged a glance, feeling somewhat embarrassed. "How can you be the Empress? You are clearly the reincarnation of Guanyin."

"Ah, I didn't expect to be called a commoner. It seems pretty good."

Xie Ci'an looked at the queen's smiling face and couldn't help but smile.

Her main purpose was to eat melons, but she used changing clothes as a pretext. While Doctor Lin was taking Gu Jianchu's pulse, the housekeeper took her to the guest room next door to change her clothes.

After changing clothes, Dou Wen saw him off and he got on a carriage back to the palace.

Xie Ci'an had other things to deal with, so after sending Gu Jianchu back to Kunning Palace, he went straight back to Chuigong Palace.

Zhu Xia brought a bowl of Tremella Soup to Gu Jianchu and couldn't help gossiping, "I didn't expect that Guo Wu, who looks hot-tempered, is actually quite good to his wife. After finding out that she was raped by Dou Cong, he didn't even clamor for a divorce. He even worried that a miscarriage would be bad for her health. He's much better than those stinky men who only think about scheming against their wives."

"Who said it wasn't? Seeing how Guo Wu treats his wife, I'm a little touched." Zhu Xi, who has always been steady, couldn't help but agree.

"I just don't know whose child is in Concubine Liu's belly. Is it my father's or my son's? Is it my wife or my son's wife? Concubine Liu's position in the mansion is quite awkward. I don't know how Lord Dou will deal with it." Zhu Xia kept talking about the gossip she saw today.

"What else can we do? We must send him away. Otherwise, he will be laughed at if he stays in the mansion, and his identity will be embarrassing." Gu Jianchu said distractedly.

Dou Wen was unsure of the father of the child in Concubine Liu's belly. He disliked killing, so he sent both Concubine Liu and Concubine Han to the farm, gave them a sum of money, and left them to fend for themselves.

Dou Wen was indeed kind and righteous. If it were someone else, Concubine Liu and Concubine Han would have died countless times over, after all, they had done such a shameful thing.

To save his son's life, Dou Wen fought tooth and nail. He hired a jailer with a unique method of beating with sticks. After fifty strokes, the wounds appeared severe, but in reality, no physical damage was done. Afterwards, he had a doctor come and treat him before throwing him into the prison with the other criminals. He gave his son no special treatment.

Ever since Wu took the abortion-inducing drug, Guo Wu had been taking care of her. Fearing this would happen again, he told the captain he was quitting. The captain was kind enough to let him take charge of the cargo at the Beijing docks. This way, he wouldn't have to go out on the ship. Although he earned less, he could stay by his wife's side, preventing the same thing from happening again.

[Guo Wu is like this, it really makes me cry. It's rare to find such a good man who only cares about his wife.]

"Indeed, we don't even know what to name the child when he's born." Zhu Xia nodded in agreement.

"News came from the Chunshui Embroidery Workshop outside the Empress's palace, saying that Wen had passed away. The eldest lady also sent someone to deliver a message, saying that the Empress should find a good embroiderer for her. Wen's embroidery skills are very good. In order to thank the Empress, the eldest lady specially asked someone to buy you a roasted pigeon." Yun He said as he placed the roasted pigeon on the table.

Wen was born in Jiangnan, after all. She learned embroidery from a master as a child. Later, she married a scumbag, helped support his family, and took care of his parents. Naturally, her embroidery skills were delayed, but her craftsmanship is definitely still there. Facts have proven that you should never sacrifice yourself for a scumbag. It's all just self-admiration and won't get you anything in return.

"Sister, you want to send me away with just a roast pigeon? You should at least give me a roast duck." Gu Jianchu muttered as he grabbed a leg and put it in his mouth, not forgetting to ask Yunhe to go out and deliver the letter.
