She married a dying prince and she won three babies.
Chapter 213: The Old Lady's Sin
“First, you are not allowed to visit brothels anymore.
Second, send away all the concubines in your backyard.
Third, learn to manage your own business.
When you can earn a thousand taels a month, come and ask your nephew to invest in you."
Shangguan Ziqi stated three requirements in a leisurely tone.
He also looked down on his second uncle, who only knew how to rely on the palace for his living.
A lifetime of ignorance and incompetence.
If he and his father didn't have the same father, his father would have ignored him long ago.
April 21st was the day after the children turned one year old.
Several ancestors of the Shangguan family received invitations from the prince at the same time, asking them to come to the palace to handle important matters.
They were all very confused. What important thing could happen during this non-holiday period?
The Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon, and if there is something to discuss, we can discuss it on that day, so why choose today?
But since the prince had invited them, they did not dare to put on airs and all came to the palace as promised, at 9:00 a.m.
Location: Main hall of the outer courtyard of the palace.
Unless it is a major matter, we usually don't gather here to discuss it.
In the main hall hangs the portrait of the third-generation ancestor of the royal palace who won the title of Iron Hat King for the royal palace.
All the people from the third branch of the palace, except for the underage juniors, came.
Get together.
"Your Highness, what is it that requires us to come here?" Patriarch Hong was the last one to arrive. He was surprised to see so many people.
"Please take a seat first, clan leader." The prince pointed to the guest seat on his left in a calm voice.
After Chief Hong sat down, the prince waved his hand and sent all the servants serving in the hall out.
Only Butler Li and An Yi were left.
"I invited you all here today because I have a family matter to deal with. I want to divorce my concubine on behalf of the old prince. Please ask several elders of the clan to be witnesses." The prince had a blank expression on his face and his voice was as cold as ice.
"What did you say?" The second old lady raised her head suddenly after hearing this, and her body trembled with surprise.
The Third Old Lady only frowned, raised her eyelids, and pounded them again. This showed how strong her mental endurance was.
She was also the old prince's concubine and had no doubt that she was going to be divorced.
Yu Yuanzheng looked back and forth between the two old ladies.
The two of them acted completely differently. One remained composed even when the world was in turmoil, while the other couldn't compare. I wonder how she managed to pull it off in the first place? Was she very composed before, and then she slowly changed?
This is not impossible. People's personalities change with different experiences.
"The concubine I want to divorce for the old prince is Jiang Qingqing." The prince said this very clearly and forcefully.
"Your Majesty, why do you want to divorce me? What did I do wrong?
I, Jiang Qingqing, entered the palace at the age of sixteen and gave birth to a son and a daughter. After your sister passed away, I helped her raise you.
After my sister died, I should have been promoted to the next princess as a concubine, but the old prince suppressed the matter for your sake.
I didn't make a fuss and was my second wife for so many years. But you are so ungrateful that you want to divorce me.
I'm not a lowly concubine like Aunt Wang. I'm a concubine who came into the mansion with my sister, and I'm your real aunt." The second old lady yelled in anger.
"Brother, are you confused? The second old lady has been in the palace for decades. Although she sometimes speaks unpleasantly, she has never had bad intentions and has never done anything to anyone. It's just that she has a bad temper sometimes." The second master was also shocked by the prince's words.
That was his mother, the mother of Concubine Wan in the palace, and the third prince's grandmother.
My eldest brother actually dared to divorce her. How could this be possible?
"Your Highness, this is unacceptable. There is no way the Rong Palace will allow such a scandal to spread. Even if she did something wrong, she is already old and won't live for many years. If she hasn't committed the serious crime of murder, it is better to suppress it if possible." After hearing this, Chief Hong also disagreed with this matter.
"She has committed the grave crime of murder, and the person she killed was my mother. Shouldn't I seek justice for my mother? Humiliation is only the first step. I will also take her life."
The prince directly pointed out her guilt, and the frost on his face showed that he was telling the truth, not just making it up.
"What?" Everyone was shocked and at a loss, staring at the prince with wide eyes.
The prince's mother, the old princess, has died thirty-nine times.
Now she said she was murdered.
This is incredible.
"I didn't kill her. She died of illness. It had nothing to do with me. She had a heavy hemorrhage during childbirth and was seriously ill. I was the one who took care of her.
Why should I kill her?
I took good care of her for three years. Before she died, she entrusted you to me and asked me to take good care of you and raise you up. I did it.
You grew up safely and inherited the throne."
The second old lady shouted in denial.
The third old lady and the third master exchanged glances, and then both of them smiled faintly.
They had long known that the prince kept two mute old women in a yard and had people teach them to read, so they knew it must be for this matter.
They did not investigate who the two men were. Since it had nothing to do with their business, they did not care.
The prince ignored the second old lady's shouting.
"An Yi, go and bring the person in."
An Yi went out.
After a while, An Yi and An Qi each pushed an old woman in.
Although they are dressed more decently now, the wrinkles on their faces and the white hair are proof of how much they have suffered.
It's really not easy to be alive.
"Jiang Qingqing, do you still recognize these two people?" the prince asked coldly.
He no longer calls her the Second Old Madam.
He never expected that this aunt, who had the same father as his mother, was such a poisonous snake.
There were many women in the capital who married with a concubine like his mother.
Over the years, he had never heard of any mistress being harmed by a concubine.
"Where did this beggar come from? How do I know him?" The second old lady just glanced at the two old women and turned her head away.
It was obvious that they had been found in some dilapidated temple. They were simply washed and made of cotton cloth for him to wear. He looked to be in his seventies or eighties.
How could she know him?
"You live a life of luxury and take good care of yourself, but they are only two years younger than you and have lived a life worse than pigs and dogs for decades. You really can't recognize them.
They are the two personal maids whom you poisoned and sold out.
You killed three of my mother's four personal maids, and only one, Matron Zheng, survived because you probably couldn't kill her.
That's why after she came back into the mansion, you kept giving her benefits in private to bribe her.
But Nanny Zheng also died last year.
You spared these two lives out of consideration for the master-servant relationship, and it took me six months to find them."
The prince quietly revealed the identities of the two.
The second old lady then looked at the two men's appearances carefully.
You can really see the shadows of the two people back then, but it's been so long and they have changed so much that only those shadows are visible.
The two old women stared at their former master who had ruined their lives with hatred in their eyes.
Among them, the old woman named Cui Liu clenched her hands tightly when she saw Jiang Qingqing, trying hard to control her surging hatred.
The old woman named Chunyan made an unpleasant hissing sound and rushed directly towards the second old lady, knocking her to the ground, and then started hitting her with her fists.
She had suppressed her emotions for so many years, and now that she saw the enemy who had harmed her, she wanted to vent. She didn't have much time to live anyway, so as long as she could get revenge and vent her anger, she didn't care if she died now.
