Steal my marriage? Turn around and marry the tyrant to take the throne

Chapter 269 I Don’t Dare to Divorce Shen Nanqiao

"Your dowry is our family's money, so what if we use our own money? Is this your reason for beating your mother-in-law? I must let Lin'er divorce you today, you shrew!"

Shen Nanqiao was a daughter of an official family after all. In the past, when she had conflicts with others, she only mocked them verbally. This was the first time she had seen a shrew like Lu's mother who turned black into white. She was so angry that her eyes turned red!

Not to mention that women who were divorced and sent home would have no choice but to die.

Shen Nanqiao is still dreaming about becoming a first-rank lady after Lu Jianglin is conferred the title of marquis and appointed as prime minister. How could she possibly leave the Lu family?

"Divorce me, do you dare? My sister is the most favored Concubine Rou in the palace! How many of you have the guts to divorce Concubine Rou's sister?!"

Mother Lu and Lu Jianglin didn't really want to divorce Shen Nanqiao. After all, without her, where could they find a daughter-in-law who cared about the Lu family wholeheartedly and was even willing to pay for her own dowry and support their entire family?

They were just angry that Shen Nanqiao dared to beat Lu's mother, so they spoke in such a tough tone.

After hearing this, the two of them immediately became timid.

Shen Nanqiao was right. Even if they were given a hundred guts, they would not dare to divorce Concubine Rou's sister!

Lu Jiangyue rolled her eyes and immediately tried to smooth things over: "Oh! How can a family hold a grudge overnight? Sister-in-law, mother and brother were just angry at the moment, so they said such stupid things, which cannot be counted!"

"In my opinion, why don't you apologize to each other? Then this matter will be over. From now on, we can be a happy family together!"

The three of them didn't really intend to break up, so they followed the step Lu Jiangyue gave them.

Life had to go on, and family disgrace must not be made public. Neither Shen Nanqiao, nor Lu's mother nor Lu Jianglin made this matter public.

The world was unaware of the conflicts within their family. Only the people sent by Fuqiu, who were secretly watching the Lu family around the clock, knew all these things clearly.

Nanny Lin breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good."

It doesn't matter how the eldest lady commits suicide, as long as she doesn't bring trouble to the reputation of the queen and other sisters in the clan.

Handan was unable to put it into words: "Miss has always felt that she is better than the Majesty in every way and has never been willing to bow down in front of the Majesty. Why is it that after she was almost divorced this time, she brought out the Majesty as a backer?"

Who is as calm as a chrysanthemum, not fighting or competing? Ha! In her opinion, it should be both responsible and independent!

But if that's the case, she wouldn't say it out loud to pollute the Empress' ears.

Shen Zhinian didn't find it strange, because her elder sister had always been of this kind of double-faced character.

No. After her mother was promoted to a concubine, she was also a legitimate daughter. She should no longer call Shen Nanqiao "legitimate sister" but "eldest sister".

There are more than one bomb in Lu Jianglin's body, and this is just the end of it... If Shen Nanqiao continues to live like this, he will find that his "good" days are still to come!

Fuqiu smiled and said, "Don't mention those irrelevant people. They will affect your Majesty's mood."

"At tomorrow's celebration banquet, the master will be the protagonist, and the queen will definitely be the center of attention. Let's see which palace dress the queen will wear tomorrow."

Yuan Bao said with a smile: "Your Highness is naturally beautiful. No matter how you dress up, you will always be more beautiful than any other girl!"

Shen Zhinian was thinking that her father had been transferred to the most powerful position of the Ministry of Personnel as a minister, and she was a favorite concubine in the harem, which was already eye-catching enough. Tomorrow's celebration banquet should be kept low-key.

Of course, she couldn't be too low-key, otherwise people would look down on her and say she couldn't live up to the style of a favorite concubine.

They were laughing and discussing tomorrow's outfits when Xiao Mingzi suddenly walked in from outside. After paying his respects, he said respectfully, "… Madam, Liu's personal maid Xunyou was sent to the Xinzheku to do hard labor after Liu was banished to the cold palace and sentenced to death. You asked me to send someone to secretly keep an eye on her movements. Someone below reported that they finally found something unusual in the past few days!"

"Oh?"

Shen Zhinian asked with interest: "What did she do?"

I thought Liu Ruyan was dead and Xun You would live out her life in Xinzheku. But now it seems that she is still restless.

Xiao Mingzi continued, "Xunyou herself did not show any abnormality. It was the people around Concubine Liang who frequently contacted her and took good care of her."

"It's Consort Liang again! Why is she pretending to be a good person all day long?"

Handan felt disgusted but also a little worried: "Madam, we worked together with Xunyou to crush Liu's conspiracy. If Xunyou had surrendered to Madam Liang, would he have told her about these things?"

Shen Zhinian was not worried: "If Xunyou tells those things to others, wouldn't it be telling everyone that she has committed a capital crime?"

"Besides, after Liu Ruyan was sentenced to death, we have already cleared all the evidence. No matter how much you say about Xun You, you have no evidence to accuse me. Instead, you will be accused of slandering the imperial concubine."

"She wouldn't do anything so stupid."

"In my opinion, Concubine Liang just wants to control one more chess piece in the harem. Who knows, one day, it may play an unexpected role."

Hearing this, Xiao Zhouzi made a gesture of wiping his neck and said, "My queen, do you need me to kill Xunyou in advance... to prevent future troubles!"

Shen Zhinian shook his head, with a playful smile on his lips: "No need. Just keep staring at her."

"I am also very curious, will she eventually be used by Concubine Liang?"

If so, that would be great!

Shen Zhinian was worried that she couldn't find any flaws in Concubine Liang. If the other party asked Xunyou to do something, she would be able to find something to hold against her!

Xiao Mingzi said respectfully: "Yes!"

It was the next day in a blink of an eye.

Seeing that it was almost time, Handan began to dress up Shen Zhinian.

Today she was wearing a light blue Guangdong embroidered Baixian pomegranate skirt with delicate pomegranates and pomegranate flowers embroidered on the hem, symbolizing many children and good fortune, which was in line with her status as a pregnant woman.

The makeup powders were specially developed by Tang Luochuan and can be used by pregnant people.

"Mother, it's ready."

Shen Zhinian looked at the beauty in palace dress in the bronze mirror, as satisfied as ever: "Let's go."

Sun Changzai had been waiting outside for a long time. When she saw Shen Zhinian, she immediately went up to her and took her arm: "Sister Roupin, I will help you get into the warm sedan chair."

Handan and Fuqiu: "..."

Sun Changzai did their work, so what did they do?

"I pay my respects to Concubine Rou, may your majesty be blessed with good health!"

Concubine Han arrived at the gate of Zhongcui Palace early, with an innocent smile on her face, and saluted Shen Zhinian.

Although Sun Changzai disliked this scholar, she still had to follow the palace rules and bow: "Your concubine greets Lady Han!"

Han Guiren said in a friendly manner: "We are all sisters, Sister Sun, there is no need to be polite!"
