Chapter 140: Shen's Family Falls Into Trouble, Intends to Divorce His Wife
Marquis Yangling nodded in agreement, but still had some doubts, "But when His Royal Highness Prince Duan asked to marry Miss Shen Er as a concubine a few days ago, Prince Lu did not show up. But when he came to Minister He and our house before, Prince Lu came with him..."
Lin Xuefu's eyes widened and she made an extremely outrageous guess, "Could it be that Prince Lu... has taken a fancy to the young lady?"
As soon as this was said, the father and son of Marquis Yangling immediately widened their eyes, and then they both denied it in succession: "Impossible, Prince Lu is With his status, how could he possibly be interested in Shen Qing, a married woman. "
"That's right, a man like Lu Shizi can find anything he wants, so there's no need for him to do such a ridiculous thing as coveting someone else's wife.
And I heard a few days ago that Lu Shizi is not good enough, and a useless man still wants someone else's wife, which is really a bit of self-humiliation. "
Shen Qing and Lu Yan are two people who have nothing to do with each other, so Yangling Hou and his son did not waste more time on them, but discussed the things they started to worry about last night.
"Father, I see that Marquis Yining has been imprisoned. I'm afraid there will be no improvement. We should also consider ourselves and must not be implicated by the Shen family."
Marquis Yangling hesitated, "You are right, but I am always afraid that something will go wrong. You also know Shen Yian's temper. If he really turns over and lets him know what we did, I'm afraid the entire Marquis Yangling Mansion will be overturned by him."
Mu Ziqian's face was slightly condensed, "But if Marquis Yining is really convicted, then we will be the first to be implicated. Father has already been dismissed from the morning court, and with such a serious crime as assassinating the prince, I'm afraid he won't be able to go back for a year. Right?"
Hearing Mu Ziqian mention the dismissal of the morning court, Yangling Hou's face darkened instantly, but he resisted the urge to scold him, "You are right, Shen Qing is the legitimate daughter of Yining Hou's Mansion. Now that Yining Hou's Mansion has done such a treasonous thing, even if His Majesty does not suspect us, he will inevitably feel disgusted. "
Mu Ziqian tried to speak: "How about I divorce Shen Qing?"
Yangling Hou frowned, obviously still worried about the consequences of Shen Yian's turn, and then heard Lin Xuefu finally speak: "Cousin, uncle, Fuer thinks that your ideas are all reasonable, but if you combine them, it should be better. "
Hearing this, the two looked at Lin Xuefu together.
Lin Xuefu continued, "The Marquis of Yining has a deep foundation. Whether the assassination of the prince can bring them down remains to be considered. Moreover, the Marquis of Yining is a man who loves his daughter dearly. If the Marquis of Yining is safe and sound in the end, but we have attacked the young lady, we will inevitably be retaliated by the Marquis of Yining. My uncle's concerns are obviously correct; but what my cousin said is not unreasonable. If the Marquis of Yining really collapses, we can't just sit and wait for death. It is obviously the best policy to break off relations with the Marquis of Yining as soon as possible.
So Fuer thinks that we can wait and see for a few days. After confirming that there is really no room for maneuver, it will not be too late to let my cousin write a divorce letter to the young lady to completely break up.
As for the reason for divorce, don't mention the Marquis of Yining. As far as Fuer knows, the young lady has committed at least two of the seven crimes of divorce."
Lin Xuefu didn't continue to say anything else. Having said this, Yangling Marquis and Mu Ziqian can understand it even if they are stupid.
As expected, after thinking for a while, Yanglinghou and his son looked at Lin Xuefu with admiration.
It must be said that Lin Xuefu's idea was very good.
So Yanglinghou promised, "Xuefu, if things can really work out, my Mu family will definitely not treat you unfairly. Xue'er is now almost five months pregnant. After she successfully gives birth to the eldest son of the crown prince, the status of our Mu family will be completely different. With the dowry left by Shen Qing as an embellishment, Yanglinghou Mansion will no longer need to rely on marriage to win over relationships. You and Qian'er are in love with each other. If you can give birth to the eldest grandson for the Mu family, I will make the decision and make you the legal wife."
After the words fell, Mu Ziqian and Lin Xuefu's faces were full of joy.
Lin Xuefu suppressed the joy in her heart, "Don't worry, uncle, Xuefu will not let you down."
Mu Ziqian was delighted, "Father, your idea is really wise!"

Tingyun Teahouse
As soon as Shen Qing arrived at the door, someone came to pick her up and took her straight to the second floor.
In front of the box, Fu Yi wanted to follow, but was stopped by Chu Lingxi's attendant.
Shen Qing signaled Fu Yi to stay at the door.
Shen Qing knew very well that Chu Lingxi's target was not her. On the contrary, Chu Lingxi needed her intervention to achieve his goal, so he would not do anything to her. This was also the reason why Shen Qing dared to come to the meeting with only Fu Yi and a few guards.
Pushing open the door of the box, only Chu Lingxi was inside.
Seeing Shen Qing coming, Chu Lingxi took the initiative to pour her a cup of tea. Because of his injured shoulder, he could only move one arm, and his movements looked a little clumsy.
Shen Qing sat down opposite him, took the tea he handed over without hesitation, and drank a small sip directly.
Chu Lingxi was surprised and said, "Young Madam is really brave. Aren't you afraid that I will put drugs in it?"
Shen Qing put down the teacup, his face was firm and natural, and he asked instead, "Will Your Highness?"
Chu Lingxi smiled and shook his head in cooperation.
"Your Madam must have understood my intention of asking you to come here?"
Shen Qing looked into his eyes for a long time without answering.
Chu Lingxi was not annoyed, and continued to speak to himself: "I have already explained to the Tianlao that they will not embarrass your father. I have never thought of becoming an enemy of the Yining Marquis's Mansion, so please give me what I want, Young Madam."
Thus, although Chu Lingxi did not say it clearly, Shen Qing also understood that this so-called assassination was just a trick directed and performed by Chu Lingxi himself, in order to force Shen Shuyu out, or let her personally deliver Shen Shuyu to Chu Lingxi's hands.
Thinking of this, Shen Qing suddenly stopped being anxious, and quickly sorted out the cause and effect of the matter in his mind.
Picking up the teacup and taking a sip, Shen Qing chuckled: "Your Highness, aren't you afraid of harming the Yining Marquis Mansion and cutting off the last trace of ties between you and Shuyu?"
It's interesting to say that Chu Lingxi, a man of noble birth and stubborn temperament, fell into Shen Shuyu's body.
Everything related to Shen Shuyu is his weakness, and Shen Qing can deal with it very easily.
As expected, Chu Lingxi frowned and explained, "I've said it before, I have no intention of being an enemy of the Marquis of Yining Mansion, I just want Yu Yu to come back."
Shen Qing questioned, "What about after you come back? Do you want me to ask His Majesty for a marriage order and force her to marry you?"
Chu Lingxi's face turned pale and she said stubbornly, "I didn't force her, Yu Yu likes me!"
Shen Qing did not deny it, "Yes, it's true that Shu Yu likes you, but that doesn't mean she is willing to be a concubine!"
Shen Qing felt that it was really boring to talk to Chu Lingxi about these things. Just as he was about to get up and leave, he saw a smile on Chu Lingxi's face. He looked at Shen Qing with a look of unconcealed pride in his eyes, "Look, you've admitted it yourself, Yu Yu likes me."
Looking at the perverted expression on Chu Lingxi's face, Shen Qing fell silent. Is this guy sick?
