Chapter 471: Divorce, Must Divorce
Chapter 471: Divorce, Must Divorce
Madam Mu sent the Regent and his wife away, her raging anger almost uncontrollably suppressed.
"Mother, what's wrong?"
Young Master Mu, who had just returned from the military camp, saw Madam Mu’s livid face and quickly dismounted and walked over.
Madam Mu looked at her grown-up sons, swallowed the sobs in her throat, held their hands, and said slowly, "Your father just offended the regent and even instigated the regent to divorce his wife and marry Mu Baozhu."
"Today... aren't we hosting a banquet for the Prince Regent and the Princess today? How could father do such a ridiculous thing?" The eldest son Mu Zhifeng was incredulous.
Madam Mu said bitterly, "Anyone with a brain would think this is ridiculous, but your father did it."
She wanted to shoot them all to death.
"Is father..." crazy.
Mu Zhijie gritted his teeth and endured the following words.
Although he resented his father for doing things that hurt his mother, he was the younger generation and if he really said something outrageous, others would still say he was unfilial.
"Come with me. We have to end this today no matter what." Mrs. Mu said in a deep voice.
After returning to the backyard, Mrs. Mu went straight to the courtyard of the main house. The two sons behind her looked at each other, looking at the long tasseled spear in their mother's hand with some worry in their eyes.
Why do I feel like my mother is going to kill someone?
Outside the courtyard gate, Madam Mu's sobbing could be heard.
"My poor son, how could he be injured like this? I don't care, General, you must take care of Baozhu."
"That prince must be blind. Our Baozhu is so beautiful, how could he have the heart to kick her?"
"..."
Two ribs are broken!
Her daughter had grown up so big, and she couldn't bear to hurt even a finger, but she actually had her bones broken by someone else.
boom--
The door was pushed open, and Madam Mu stood outside the door, looking at them with cold eyes.
Mu Chengtian felt a little uneasy.
He took two steps forward to block Madam Mu's sight, "Madam, why are you here? Baozhu is injured, I asked someone to call a doctor."
"There's no need to treat him. The general wants to kill our whole family anyway, so why don't I help the general?" Mrs. Mu said expressionlessly.
The long tasseled spear hit the ground heavily with a loud clanging sound.
"Today I will kill you first, and then burn you all, and then I will go to the emperor to apologize. It is better for us to die together than to be beheaded." Mrs. Mu said.
Mu Chengtian's expression changed. "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Am I talking nonsense? What the general did today is putting his entire family's heads on the line." Mrs. Mu asked with a sneer.
Madam Mu spoke timidly, "Sister-in-law, what are you doing? You have such a violent temper. This is not what a mistress of a house should have."
"Then what should a mistress of the house be like? Is someone like you who is shameless and seduces your brother-in-law to sleep in your bed every night a qualified mistress of the house?" Madam Mu asked back harshly.
Mu Chengtian was ashamed and angry, "Shut up! Why are you talking nonsense in front of the younger generation!"
Although Mu Chengtian married his widowed sister-in-law and had two children with Tian, he loved his two sons with Madam Mu the most and he always maintained the image of a strict father in front of them over the years.
He didn't want his son to know about the affair between him and his widowed sister-in-law.
At least it can't be said openly.
"So you still have some shame, Mu Chengtian." Mrs. Mu looked at him sneerfully.
"Today we are hosting a banquet for the Regent and his wife. You two are so eager to make your presence felt. Are you afraid that outsiders don't know that you slept with your widowed sister-in-law and gave birth to two children?"
"You have no shame, but I and my two children still have some dignity!"
"Either we separate the family today and let them go, or I will go to the palace to see the Empress Dowager tomorrow and you and I will get divorced." Madam Mu pointed the long tasseled spear in her hand at Mu Chengtian.
Madam Mu was overjoyed, "Sister-in-law, you can't just talk about divorce."
"Tsk, you can hardly suppress the smile on your face. Do you think that after Mu Chengtian and I divorce, you can openly become Madam Mu? Have you forgotten your identity?"
"As long as I go to the palace to ask for a divorce, you will never live to see the next day."
Madam Mu's mouth froze and she looked at Mu Chengtian in panic.
Mu Chengtian's face was gloomy and terrifying, "Are you done yet?"
"As long as I remember my dead daughter, I will never let you go," said Mrs. Mu.
"..." When mentioning their daughter, Mu Chengtian closed his eyes, feeling endless guilt in his heart.
"Madam, this is my fault. You can blame me or hate me, but as for divorce...I will not divorce you." Mu Chengtian said in a low voice.
Mu Zhifeng looked at him calmly, "Father, are you going to marry Baozhu to the Regent as a concubine?"
"How could she be a concubine? My daughter will never be a concubine." Madam Mu shouted immediately.
"No." Mu Chengtian denied.
Mu Zhifeng asked again, "Why did you do that? Encouraging the prince to divorce his wife is not what a gentleman should do."
"I naturally have my reasons for doing this." Mu Chengtian waved his hand, not wanting to tell his son the reason.
He just wanted to test Fu Jinyuan's reaction and find out whether Fu Jinyuan was willing to be just a regent.
Who knew that Fu Jinyuan would actually overturn the table.
Perhaps only Fu Jinyuan values women more than the power that is within his reach.
"See? This is your father." Madam Mu turned around and looked at her two sons seriously. "Mother has been disgusted for most of her life. She doesn't want to be disgusted anymore."
"You all have military merits now. Even if you don't rely on him, you all have your own future. I was originally unwilling to let this general's mansion fall into the hands of others. Now it seems that I don't know whether this general's mansion is a blessing or a curse."
"Mother, let's take you back to the house to rest." Mu Zhijie said in a low voice.
Mu Zhifeng: "We will send you to the palace tomorrow."
When Mrs. Mu heard her eldest son's words, she finally showed her first genuine smile of the day.
"Madam, let's talk first." Mu Chengtian frowned.
"There's nothing to talk about between us." Mrs. Mu refused decisively.
Madam Mu hesitated to speak several times. Of course, she hoped that Mu Chengtian would divorce her as soon as possible, but if they really divorced, she might have a harder time.
After all, Madam Mu was not from a humble family, and she had the entire Zhong family as her backer.
Seeing that Mu Chengtian was about to leave, Mu Baozhu burst into tears, "Daddy..."
"You guys stay in the yard and don't make Madam unhappy these days." Mu Chengtian said and left without looking back.
Madam Mu gnashed her teeth in hatred, "He still has that bitch in his heart!"
"Mother, the regent is so scary. He can kick me to death with one kick." Mu Baozhu cried softly.
"I was wondering why you should marry the Regent. Wouldn't it be better for you to enter the palace and become the Queen?" Madam Mu said angrily.
