Chapter 480: This Minister Wants to Divorce His Wife
"Dad! Look at her eyes! She wants to kill me!" Jiang Wanting hugged her father Jiang Feng's thighs and burst into tears.
Chi Feifei followed suit and hugged her father Chi Hongfang's thighs, crying loudly: "The Queen of Qiuhu Kingdom wants to kill the daughter of an important official of Northern Qi! Is there any law left? Are we Northern Qi people so easy to bully?"
Quan Qianluo was almost mad with rage, "Someone come! Someone come!" She shouted frantically, "Cut both of them to pieces for me!"
The guards from the Princess's Mansion rushed forward, but they just stood beside her to protect her, and no one dared to move forward.
Because the Third Prince Quan Qingyun stood with his hands behind his back, blocking the Jiang family and the Chi family behind him.
"I am still standing here. Do you want to listen to me or to Queen Qiuhu?" As soon as these words came out, Quan Qianluo understood that his third brother was determined to stand on Ye Wenyan's side today.
But she couldn't figure out when her third brother got involved with Ye Wenyan? Didn't he have a bad relationship with the Ye family?
"Qing Yun." She called his name, "Do you really not know how much pain I, your elder sister, feel?"
Quan Qingyun shook his head, "You don't feel bitter, you only feel hatred. From the moment your father sent you to marry, you hated everything in Northern Qi. You always say that fate is unfair, that no one loves you, and that's why you were sent away. But elder sister, the royal family has supreme power, but with this power, we also have to pay a price. If we use a marriage and the happiness of a princess to exchange for a few years of peace in the country, it is much better than sending a large army to the border to meet the enemy."
He took a deep breath and sighed heavily, "Eldest sister, your life is life, and their lives are life too. Once the war starts, there will be countless casualties. Why do you want father to sacrifice so many lives to save you? You are unfortunate, but they are lucky? Tell me honestly, are you avenging the unfair fate or your first husband?"
He took another step forward, "You no longer have Northern Qi in your heart. Father has long said that you have completely become a Qiuhu person. You love your husband and your husband's family. How much you love them, how much you hate us. So, why should I allow you to show off your power on my land of Northern Qi? Why should I allow you to insult my Northern Qi generals and bully my Northern Qi people? Sister, every country has its bottom line, and so does every person. I don't think Fourth Miss Ye is wrong about what happened today."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone in the crowd started to applaud first.
Soon, there was continuous applause, and even Ye Wenyan nodded.
In the past, everyone said that the Third Prince was overbearing and tyrannical, but now it seems that it is just as he said, everyone has his own bottom line.
As a member of the royal family, his bottom line is the country, because he knows in his heart that without this country, he is nothing.
Quan Qianluo was speechless. Her royal brother had touched upon what was really on her mind, and she didn't know how to refute him.
That's right. Over the years, she not only hated Ye Jinggui, but also hated her father and the entire Northern Qi. But she didn't dare to confront the royal family, and didn't dare to show this hatred. Because her husband's family was gone, she had to rely on her natal family to survive in the future. Although she didn't want to live, the enemies who killed her husband and children had not died completely, so why should she die first?
So she had been enduring it all the time, praying three incense sticks a day for Ye Jinggui to die in battle, and three incense sticks a day for the soldiers who participated in the war between Northern Qi and Qiu Hu to die without a complete body. She also used a villain to curse her father, and then cursed Li Xiaohan who joined forces with her father to send her on the road to marriage.
No one in Northern Qi could escape her curse. From the royal family to the common people, everyone was wrong in her eyes.
Why did she spend her whole life protecting the peace of those people? Why did Northern Qi want to wipe out her husband's family even after she got married? And why could this land only be controlled by the Quan family, and not by King Qiuhu?
Quan Qianluo laughed loudly, her laughter was more miserable than crying. She pointed at all the people in front of her and said, "You all deserve to die! You all should be buried with my husband. As long as I am alive, I will curse you day and night, and you will not die a good death!"
She ran around like a madman, and soon ran back to her own princess's mansion, taking the servants with her. The guards looked at each other, then simply stood back at the door of the mansion, and did not ask any more questions.
But this matter is not over yet! Chi Hongfang asked Ye Wenyan: "Fourth Miss, are you going to arrest him?"
Ye Wenyan shook his head, "No."
Quan Qingyun immediately said, "I have no doubts about taking her down. Miss Four, just do your own thing."
Ye Wenyan still shook his head, "It's someone's birthday today, it's not good to shout and kill. There will be plenty of opportunities to arrest him in the future, why is this day so short? Besides, I prepared such a big gift and spent a lot of money, I can't just send me back home without even a bite of food, that would be a big loss for me! I won't take it, I'll have to eat and drink later, and the birthday banquet at the Princess's Mansion can't be prepared in vain."
She tilted her head to look, "But the princess doesn't have to take it. Those ladies who insulted my father, please give me an explanation, Your Highness! After all, the lady from the Ministry of Works who was skinned said that her husband was on good terms with you, and she wanted you to avenge her!"
Quan Qingyun almost laughed out loud, "Make the decision for her?" Then he looked back and shouted, "Li Changshan! Come here!"
Minister of Works Li Changshan had arrived earlier. He had arrived with Jiang Feng and his group, and had been hiding in the crowd and watching.
His wife was skinned alive, which made him extremely angry. He originally had the same mentality and wanted to ask the Third Prince to support him. But after watching these scenes, he became more and more shocked and disappointed. The more he watched, the more he felt that he could not even think about getting support. All he could do now was to sacrifice his wife to save her. If he wanted to survive, he had to keep an absolute distance from that stupid woman. When he heard Quan Qingyun calling him, he immediately stepped forward and said without waiting for the question, "She is not my wife! Not anymore from now on! What she did does not represent the Shangshu Mansion! This Shangshu wants to divorce her! Divorce her immediately!"
Chi Hongfang expressed his support: "Okay! This government will send someone back to the government office to handle this matter for Minister Li!"
Li Changshan even bowed and said, "Thank you, Governor Chi."
Chi Hongfang nodded, "No problem! As long as Minister Li can make his position clear and distinguish right from wrong, we can avoid a lot of embarrassment and unnecessary disputes when serving in the same court in the future." He looked at the dumbfounded Madam Li and said "Pooh" fiercely.
Li Changshan wiped the sweat from his forehead, thinking that he had finally passed this hurdle today. He had been relying on the Third Prince for many years. Although the Third Prince ultimately failed to become the emperor, who said that he had to be the emperor to be reliable? The prince had his foundation, and the prince had his ability. Besides, he wanted to rely on the emperor, but there was no one to help him!
Quan Qingyun turned around and looked at him. Li Changshan quickly bowed and said, "Third Prince, that bitch was so unscrupulous that she tried to get close to me. I hope Your Highness will forgive her."
Quan Qingyun didn't say anything, but just pointed towards Ye Wenyan. Li Changshan didn't understand what this meant for a moment.
Jiang Wanting and the others had already stood up and surrounded Ye Wenyan. When she saw that Li Changshan did not say anything, Mrs. Chi Tang Miaowen rolled her eyes and said, "Don't you understand? The Third Prince means that it is useless for you to apologize to him. You have to apologize to the Fourth Miss Ye. After all, your wife offended the Fourth Miss Ye and insulted General Ye. This matter has nothing to do with the Third Prince!"
Li Changshan glanced at Ye Wenyan and snorted coldly: "The Third Prince is here, how can a small servant like her be so presumptuous? Even if I divorce her today, it is to the country and the people, and to give her an explanation for insulting General Ye. But you don't need to give any explanation! You even have to explain to me why you abused private punishment and harmed officials' families!"
Quan Qingyun looked at Li Changshan like a fool, and kept recalling his interactions with the Minister of Industry over the years, wondering if he had neglected something and didn't realize that he was an idiot. Unfortunately, maybe he had concealed it too well in the past, so he was deceived by this idiot. But now that he has seen the essence of the matter, he must keep a certain distance from this person, and at the same time help Ye Wenyan to get rid of this breath.
So Quan Qingyun thought about it and ordered his attendant Pingyang: "Go, peel off the skin of the lady from the Ministry of Works for me. Don't peel her here, it's too bloody and it's not good for so many people to see. Go to the princess's mansion to borrow a place and a knife, and peel her carefully, as complete as possible. After peeling, pick up the skin and hang it at the door of the Minister of Works' mansion to warn the Li family. If they insult the state generals and bully the fourth lady Ye again, this will be their fate."
After saying that, he looked at Li Changshan again, "It should be the husband and wife who are guilty of the same crime. After all, if you have enough respect for the two generals of the Ye family at home, I believe your wife will not have this attitude when she goes out."
Li Changshan's calves were cramping. He didn't really listen to the insults to the generals. His mind was full of Quan Qingyun's words "bullying Fourth Miss Ye". Damn, bullying Fourth Miss Ye is now considered a crime? What the hell is Fourth Miss Ye?
"Third Prince..." He knelt down tremblingly, "That bitch is no longer my wife."
“I still do when I make mistakes!”
"Third Prince, please spare my life!" He was finally scared and started to cry with his forehead touching the ground.
Over the years, Quan Qingyun's notoriety is well known in Lin'an City. It is said that the Sixth Prince is arrogant and cruel because he is the legitimate prince. But the Sixth Prince is cruel in public, so you can avoid him. The Third Prince is different. He can beat you up in secret, not to mention the nine clans, he can even kill your neighbors.
He would never want to offend such a person!
So he knelt on the ground and begged for a long time, but unfortunately, no matter how much he begged, he could not get the forgiveness of the Third Prince. He even saw the Third Prince's followers carrying his monster wife, who had just been divorced, into the princess's mansion.
After about two incense sticks of time, Pingyang came out, and the person he was holding had turned into a piece of human skin...
