Chapter 758 Princess's Revenge 6
"Sister-in-law, how can you talk to mother like this?" This was the voice of the second wife of the Cui family. "When Junyu brought Dai Yinyin back from Jiangnan and took Dai Yinyin to the princess's mansion, didn't you agree with it? Why are you putting all the blame on mother now?"
"That's right," this was the voice of the second master of the second branch of the Cui family. "Sister-in-law, you didn't teach your son well yourself, so how can you put all the responsibility on mother? Sister-in-law, you don't think that by putting all the responsibility on mother, you can stay out of it, right?"
"Mother," Mr. Cui looked at Old Madam Cui and said, "My son wants to split up the family property. I beg you to grant my wish."
Before today, Master Cui was absolutely unwilling to divide the family, but under the current circumstances, Master Cui is eager to divide the family quickly and move out of the Cui Mansion. He hopes that the Emperor will let the second branch of the Cui family go because he has already divided the family.
"That's right, we need to split up the family," the Second Madam also said quickly, "Mother, you can't just think about the eldest uncle's family and not think about our Second Branch. Junyu has caused such a big mess, we can't let our Second Branch be buried with him!"
Old Madam Cui felt a splitting headache and her expression was filled with indescribable pain.
Just at this moment, the servant outside came in to report that the emperor's edict had arrived.
This forced the Cui family to rush to the front yard to receive the order, and everyone had cold sweat on their foreheads.
There are two imperial edicts from the emperor.
One was the imperial edict for Jiang Chunxi to divorce her husband, and to demote Cui Jun to a concubine in the princess's mansion. The other was to suspend Cui's father from his position as the Minister of War, and to let him reflect at home. As for how long he would need to reflect before he could be reinstated...
Haha! Of course, we can only dream.
Father Cui's face was pale and he sat down on the ground.
He knew that his official position was over, or rather, the entire Cui family was over. The emperor suspending his official position was just the beginning. The reason why he did not directly destroy the Cui family was probably because he wanted to keep their family alive to vent the princess's anger.
Regret! The feeling of regret almost overwhelmed Cui's father.
How could he be so foolish as to follow his son's lead? How could he think that the princess could be bullied and oppressed?
"Master Cui," the eunuch who announced the decree said with a smile to Cui's father after reading the imperial decree, "The princess said that your son's true love is very interesting. I hope the Cui Mansion can ask a doctor to take good care of the girl's injury. When the princess sends someone to pick up Cui's concubine and bring him back to the princess's mansion in a while, they must bring the girl to the princess's mansion as well."
"After all, Cui Mian Shou and that girl are truly in love. People who truly love each other naturally want to be together. The princess cannot bear to see two people who truly love each other go their separate ways, or be separated by life and death. If Lord Cui is smart, he should know what to do. Otherwise, the knife hanging over the Cui family will have no room to turn back and will have to be chopped down quickly."
As soon as he finished speaking, the eunuch waved the whisk in his hand and turned away.
"Divide the family, divide it immediately," Mr. Cui stood up and shouted as soon as the eunuch who announced the decree left, "We must divide the family today. From today on, our second branch will sever ties with your first branch and will no longer have any relationship with the Cui family."
"Madam, madam." Madam Cui could no longer hold on and fell to the ground.
When the Cui family was in chaos again, the news that the princess had divorced her husband and that Cui Junyu had dared to challenge the princess to marry a concubine had spread throughout the capital.
Everyone sighed, this Cui Junyu is really not afraid of death! Relying on the princess's love for him, he really dares to do anything. The Cui family has such a son, and I don't know where the Cui family's ancestral tomb offends the evil spirit, otherwise how could such an unfilial descendant be born.
Although the emperor only suspended Cui's father from his official position, those officials in the court could see that the suspension of Cui's father was just the beginning, and the emperor's wrath had not really subsided yet.
That is why Cui Junyu is said to be an unfilial descendant. What he did is simply dragging his entire family to death.
However, Cui Junyu's actions also served as a wake-up call to others. It seems that one still needs to discipline his son to death. Otherwise, if someone else's family has an unfilial son like Cui Junyu, they will end up like the Cui family, and it will be too late to regret.
At the same time at the Third Prince's Mansion.
In the study, the third prince heavily swept the chessboard on the table to the ground: "Waste, Cui Junyu that waste, this prince asked him to suppress Jiang Chunxi and humiliate Jiang Chunxi, but I didn't let him be so unscrupulous and trample on the face of the royal family."
"As a prince consort, he actually dared to propose marrying a concubine. Does Cui Junyu think he has several heads on his neck?"
The more the Third Prince spoke, the angrier he became, and he started throwing things around again.
He had managed to win over the Cui family with great difficulty. After all, Cui's father was the Minister of War, which was a great help to the third prince.
But now it's all useless. If he had known this would happen, he should not have helped Cui Junyu bring Dai Yinyin back from Jiangnan.
That’s right, Dai Yinyin’s husband was killed by the Third Prince in order to bring Dai Yinyin back to the capital.
On the one hand, this was to make Cui Junyu work for him more wholeheartedly, and on the other hand, it was to humiliate Jiang Chunxi and make life difficult for her.
If we were to say who the third prince hates the most, it would undoubtedly be Jiang Chunxi.
They are all children of the emperor, so why is Jiang Chunxi the only one favored by the emperor? Even they, the sons, are not as good as a single hair of Jiang Chunxi.
So let alone the third prince hating Jiang Chunxi the most, it is estimated that all the princes and princesses must hate Jiang Chunxi the most in their hearts.
"Master, the Concubine Shu has sent a message, asking you to go and pay your respects to her after the court session tomorrow." A eunuch came in and reported:
"Got it," the Third Prince waved his hand and asked the eunuch to leave. Then he thought of something and said, "Have someone prepare the carriage. I want to go to the Princess's Mansion."
When the third prince came to the princess's mansion, Jiang Chunxi had not returned from the palace yet. It was not until the third prince waited in the princess's mansion for nearly an hour that Jiang Chunxi returned to the mansion, bringing back two handsome men.
Yes, the emperor prepared concubines for Jiang Chunxi, but Jiang Chunxi only brought back two of them. After all, there were too many men and she couldn’t handle it!
As for why it was not rejected.
Isn't that nonsense? If you want to fight for that position, you must have a child, and it must be given a royal surname.
You can say that! The concubines are like the concubines in Jiang Chunxi's harem, who are mainly there to carry on her family line. Moreover, if a princess wants to sit on the throne, she naturally has to break people's cognition step by step.
First, keep a concubine to shock the world, and then wait for her to enter the court. It is estimated that the civil and military officials in the court will not be so shocked, but will be able to accept it well.
After all, the princess even has a concubine, so what does it matter if she interferes in the affairs of the court?
