"Qing'er, you've misunderstood me. Over the years, I've devoted myself to teaching you. Now that you've married Prince Yu as I wished, I'm very pleased. We're a family, and we can't harbor any rifts..."

Xue Yuping suppressed her anger and spoke hypocritically.

After all, Fang Yun still hadn't taken over the family property, so she had to pretend to be well. At worst, she could go back and cry to the master, and he would naturally appease her with precious things, so that neither side would suffer any loss.

Nangong Qing looked at Xue Yuping who was standing in front of him with contempt.

Xue Yuping, dressed in gorgeous clothes and with pearls and jade on her head, has thin eyes, long eyebrows, rosy complexion, fair skin and charming manner. She is truly a beauty who can make Nangong Xunmi infatuated with her.

But it's really a waste of this face. She has a vicious heart and does many unjust things. If we don't expose her true face, it would be a shame for all the terrible things she has done!

"Haha, Auntie, you're joking. My mother has been ill and bedridden for years. How could she have the time to educate me? I've always been puzzled. When I was a child, Auntie taught Nangong Yan the art of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, but she just let me eat and drink as much as I wanted and act crazy. Does Auntie treat her own children differently from the mistress's children?

Oh, by the way, Nanny Sun said that Master Nangong and Concubine Xue tampered with my mother and Xin'er's medicine. How do you explain this?"

Xue Yuping's face turned pale. She never expected that Nangong Qing would actually tell this matter in front of Fang Yun and everyone else!

"Just now I taught the evil slave a lesson because he was bullying his master. I heard that Master Nangong is going to send me to the Dali Temple for trial? Great, let's go! It's a good opportunity for the Dali Temple to thoroughly investigate the dirty deeds that have happened in the Nangong Mansion over the years!

Look at how Master Nangong favors his concubine over his wife, how he cheats his wife out of money, and how he poisons his wife and children!

"Nangong Qing, you, you, you, you treasonous and unfilial daughter, how dare you talk like that? I'm your father!"

Nangong Xun gritted his teeth and cursed, then walked back angrily with a flick of his sleeves.

Naturally, this matter cannot be brought to the Dali Temple. Nangong Xun was the top scholar in the imperial examination back then and is now the prince's tutor. He still has to maintain his reputation.

If these things at home were to be spread to the court, wouldn't he be ridiculed by Prime Minister Cao and others, and become a handle for them to attack him?

Besides, his daughter Nangong Yan's wedding is coming soon, but he still has not found the money to arrange the wedding. He originally wanted to ask Fang Yun for some money today, but the evil beast Nangong Qing blocked his way!

It was truly strange. Why, ever since Nangong Qing married Prince Yu, had she suddenly become so shrewd and aware of protecting her mother and brother? So what? Fang Yun and Nangong Xin's health was deteriorating day by day, and the Fang family's wealth would eventually be his!

What kind of future can a sickly girl like Fang Yun have?

"Wait!"

Fang Yun suddenly spoke.

"Nangong Xun, I want to divorce you!"

Fang Yun's gentle words shocked Nangong Xun so much that his eyes almost rolled out.

He even suspected that he had heard it wrong. Fang Yun, who was determined to marry him more than ten years ago, actually wanted to divorce him?

"Sister, please stop saying those angry words. When we live at home, no spoon should touch the edge of the pot. These slaves are deliberately stirring up trouble, provoking the master to anger and saying hurtful things. We should just punish those slaves. Why hurt our relationship..."

When Xue Yuping heard that things were not going well, she hurried over to talk. She said that without the Fang family's money, Nangong Xun's salary was not enough to support the Nangong family.

"How dare you! When the mistress of the house is giving a lecture, how can a concubine like you have the right to speak?"

Nangong Qing held his mother's arm tightly and slapped Xue Yuping in the face.

He has been relying on Nangong Xun's protection and acting arrogantly for many years. It's time for him to suffer a little!

Seeing Xue Yuping covering her swollen cheeks with her hair disheveled and crying in grief, she felt secretly happy.

Very good! It seems that my mother has finally come to her senses and finally seen through the ugly faces of Nangong Xun and Xue Yuping. Once they divorce, they will be separated from them, guarding the Fang family's wealth and living a good life. It will be refreshing!

"Nangong Qing, how dare you hit Ping'er! Fang Yun, open your eyes and look, this is the daughter you raised! Humph, that's what you said! Even if we want a divorce, you can't take the Fang family's wealth back with you!"

Seeing his beloved woman being beaten, Nangong Xun was so angry that his beard was shaking. He gritted his teeth and threw out a few words, then walked out angrily.

"Taifu Nangong is so arrogant. Madam has been married to you for so many years, and even if there are no merits, there are still hardships!

"I heard that Taifu Nangong was also a top scholar in the imperial examination. Logically, he should be a man of integrity. But why does he sound like a money-grubbing philistine? He's actually thinking of making money from women?"

Just as Nangong Qing was about to use a flying silver needle to punish him, a black figure walked into the hall. Looking up, Nangong Qing couldn't help but smile and quietly put away the silver needle.

It turned out to be Li Zhenting.

Li Zhenting was wearing a black robe with gold edges, and his hair was tied up high with a jade hairpin, making him look taller, straighter and more handsome. He strode into the hall with a stern expression, and Bai Lianyi followed closely behind him. The black and white ones formed a beautiful scene in themselves.

Nangong Xunxue Yuping hurriedly knelt down with the servants to pay their respects.

"This old minister pays his respects to His Majesty."

Fang Yun was a little flustered and was about to stand up from her seat with great effort to pay her respects to the prince.

She had just heard in the back hall that Nangong Xun had come with ill intentions, and fearing that he might hurt Qing'er, she mustered all her strength to walk to the front hall.

After forcing myself to sit for a while, I had already broken out in cold sweat on my back. I wanted to stand up, but I was too weak and it was very difficult.

"Madam, there's no need to be so polite. Just sit down..."

Li Zhenting nodded at Nangong Qing. She was really capable of making trouble. She had caused chaos in the Cining Palace all night long. The once majestic Empress Dowager Lu, who was devoted to controlling the government, had now become a useless person who could not walk or speak. She was also tricked by Bai Lianyi into becoming a lover.

The harem is very lively now.

She rushed back to her parents' home without stopping. In just one morning, she cut off the servant's tongue and advocated for Madam Fang and Nangong Xun to divorce.

Only Nangong Qing can do these things!

"Thanks to the emperor's great grace, all citizens of the Great Yan Kingdom have the status to propose a divorce. Since Madam Fang wishes this, and Grand Tutor Nangong has agreed, if Grand Tutor Nangong insists on dividing Madam Fang's property, for the sake of fairness, I may ask His Majesty to make a ruling..."

Li Zhenting sat upright with a dignified look on his face and spoke word by word.

"Ah? What do you mean? I heard that Nangong Taifu took a concubine immediately after passing the imperial examination. This is really shameful. Don't you scholars say that you should not divorce your wife who has shared your hardships?

It seems that the Nangong Mansion next to Ruyi Garden was built with funds from Madam Fang. It is said that all the expenses of the Nangong Mansion were also funded by Madam Fang. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, my Great Yan State has always advocated that men should be self-reliant, but why is it that when it comes to Nangong Taifu, it has changed? "

Bai Lianyi shook her head and made a clicking sound, then pouted and looked at Nangong Xun with a slanted eye. The disgust on her face was so obvious.
