Zhou Qingniang?

Zhou Xiuniang's mind was a little confused now. She and the prince were somewhat familiar with each other. He was not blind, so why would he look at Zhou Qingniang?

Could it be that Zhou Qingniang was also behind the Queen Mother's summons this time?

Never mind, when the enemy comes, we will fight him; when the water comes, we will block it with earth. Just deal with it carefully.

"Daughter-in-law understands. This time, when I enter the palace, I must be careful and will not lose face for the Wen family."

Looking at her dignified, gentle and polite daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wen felt extremely satisfied.

She smiled and patted Zhou Xiuniang's hand, saying, "You are a good child. Mother is relieved. Come, go with mother to wash up."

.........

Doctor Wen stared at Wen Shichu coldly, and that look made Wen Shichu, who was already feeling guilty, even more nervous.

He gave a dry laugh, "Father, why are you staring at me like that? Is there something on my face?"

Doctor Wen said coldly, "Why did the Empress summon Zhou to the palace out of the blue? Are you behind this?"

If the Queen Mother wants to give some reward, isn't my contribution greater than her son's?

Even her own wife was not rewarded or summoned, so why did the Queen only summon Zhou?

Based on what Wen Shichu had done during this period, Doctor Wen was worried that Wen Shichu had said something to the Queen and wanted the Queen to decide on the divorce.

Wen Shichu didn't dare tell his father about the things that cost him his life, so he could only rack his brains to find excuses.

He suddenly thought of Zhou Xiuniang's sister, Zhou Qingniang, who had married into the Eastern Palace as a concubine. He looked at his father and forced a smile, saying,

"Father, what are you talking about? I have no idea. In the future, it will be Zhou's younger sister, Little Zhou, who will marry into the Eastern Palace as a concubine. The Empress is kind and remembers your contributions, so she is able to reunite the two sisters."

This reason was quite reasonable. Although Doctor Wen felt something was wrong, he couldn't put his finger on it. He could only snort coldly and said with a sharp look:

"This marriage was personally granted by the Empress. You'd better not have any evil thoughts, or I will personally break your legs."

Wen Shichu's face changed, and he whispered, "If the Empress herself decrees the divorce, is it possible that father still won't agree?"

Doctor Wen was shocked when he heard this. He quickly pulled Wen Shichu over, looked around, and then cursed angrily:

"You rebellious son, what on earth have you done?"

Wen Shichu no longer wanted to hide his feelings. He told Doctor Wen directly, "I don't like Zhou. I already have someone I like. I came here to ask the Empress to grant us a divorce."

Seeing that Doctor Wen was about to attack, he closed his eyes, made up his mind, and went forward to meet him.

"My son is already an adult and has his own ideas. If his father wants to beat him, then he should kill his son first!"

Doctor Wen was so angry when he saw Wen Shichu's dead pig-like appearance that he was not afraid of boiling water that he almost hit him, but he finally let go.

He swallowed hard, his voice trembling. "Who is the person you like? Tell me."

Amitabha, God bless you, and may all the ancestors of the Wen family bless you, please don’t say that this kid has set his eyes on Concubine Wan!

She is the emperor's woman in the harem. If anyone likes the emperor's woman, all her nine generations of the family will be killed!

"She is Concubine Hui's younger sister, the concubine daughter of Lord Shen Zishan."

Wen Shichu Dao.

If Shen Meizhuang faked her death and left the palace, she would naturally need a fake identity to marry Wen Shichu.

After much deliberation, the two decided to give Shen Meizhuang the identity of a concubine's daughter of the Shen family.

The Shen couple already knew about Shen Meizhuang's affairs. They were scared to death at first. If their daughter did such a thing, the whole family would be implicated if they were not careful.

After all, Shen Zishan had been an official for many years. He knew that things had already happened, and no matter what he said, it was useless to regret it.

Even if he were to make a heroic sacrifice and give up his daughter Shen Meizhuang, in the eyes of the emperor, Shen Meizhuang was still a member of the Shen family. If anything happened to Shen Meizhuang, the Shen family would not be able to escape.

In that case, they had no choice but to go all out and follow the Crown Prince and the Queen from now on.

Shen Zishan has many concubines and maids in his backyard, as well as several illegitimate daughters. It is not difficult to find a new identity for Shen Meiyu.

Doctor Wen breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it wasn't Concubine Wan. But even so, it would still be too unfair to Zhou Xiuniang.

Doctor Wen was confident that he was not a heartless person, and he would not allow his son to be such a heartless person.

"What about Zhou? Have you ever thought about what to do with Zhou? Ever since she married into our family, Zhou has been filial to her parents-in-law and kind to the servants. Even though you, as her husband, haven't fulfilled your husbandly obligations to her, she still treats you with respect. Do you really want to abandon her like this?"

Wen Shichu sighed. This Zhou Xiuniang was really amazing. She had deceived her parents.

He could only explain: "My son has already told Mrs. Zhou about this matter, and Mrs. Zhou said that we can get a divorce."

Doctor Wen made a "Pooh" sound, and finally became furious and slapped Wen Shichu hard.

"You bastard, you actually threatened her. Are you still a human being? I'm making this clear today. As long as your mother and I are still alive, as long as we have a breath left, Zhou will be the Young Madam of our Wen family. As for that concubine of yours, either marry her home as a concubine or we're done."

Doctor Wen suddenly realized, "But the Shen family is far away in Shandong. How did you know the Shen family's concubine's daughter? Tell me the truth, or I'll beat you to death!"

Seeing that his father was about to slap him in the face again, Doctor Wen could only lie again.

"The concubine of the Shen family came to visit relatives in Beijing. It was by chance that we met and I fell in love with her at first sight. I will be loyal to her until death. If I marry her, she will be my principal wife. I will never let her be a concubine."

After saying this, Wen Shichu quickly slipped away, fearing that he would be exposed if he spoke to his father again.

Doctor Wen was so angry that he stamped his feet, but he was helpless in the face of Wen Shichu.

Forget it, no matter what, as long as I am still alive, I will never allow my son to do the shameful thing of divorcing his wife without reason.

In order to make the trick more effective, the Shen family actually sent a concubine's daughter to Beijing. The concubine's daughter's figure was almost indistinguishable from Shen Meiyu's, and she usually wore a veil and a hat, so no one knew what she looked like.

The Shen family simply told others that they were in Beijing to visit an old relative and that they were planning to find a marriage for their concubine's daughter.

Doctor Wen sent people to inquire for a long time, but this was all he could find out.

He wanted to ask someone to investigate the background of the concubine of the Shen family, but the Shen family was not a group of people who would just sit there and do nothing. They protected the concubine of the Shen family like an iron barrel. Doctor Wen could not find out anything at all and had to return empty-handed.
