Chapter 486 The unlucky bride who was cuckolded on her wedding night ()
Wang Yizi's face was full of pride, and he said that as long as he put forward his own conditions, his father would definitely support him.
"Don't worry, Dad!
Don’t you understand what your son does?
I promise to make her so happy tomorrow that she will come back with her son immediately."
But unexpectedly, the Marquis of Xiangyang’s Mansion caught them off guard the next day!
Early in the morning, the original owner's mother was holding a dragon-headed cane that the founding emperor awarded to the first wife of the Marquis of Xiangyang was the first to go to court.
The wife of the Marquis of Xiangyang saved the emperor's life, so this dragon-headed cane has the power to beat the tyrant emperor and the treacherous ministers.
Today, the wife of the Marquis of Xiangyang entered the palace with a dragon-headed cane. The meaning was very clear: she was going to the Qinzheng Hall to see the emperor.
The guards at the palace gate looked at the wife of the Marquis of Xiangyang, who was wearing makeup and leaning on a dragon-headed cane, and did not dare to stop her.
He had to bow respectfully to her and said, "Please wait a moment, Madam. I will report to the Emperor right away."
The wife of the Marquis of Xiangyang naturally understood the rules, so she just stood there with a serious face and did not move.
The guard basically ran to the door of Qinzheng Hall, and without even taking a breath, he waved to the eunuch standing at the door.
When the young eunuch got the news, he quickly went in and whispered a few words into the ear of Li Ping'an, the emperor's personal eunuch.
Li Ping'an's expression did not change until the emperor finished speaking, then he came to the emperor and paid his respects.
"Your Majesty, the wife of the Marquis of Xiangyang is outside the palace gates, leaning on a dragon-headed cane and requesting an audience."
"what?!"
This thing has never appeared in this dynasty.
The emperor was also panicked for a moment, not knowing how he had offended the wife of the Marquis of Xiangyang, causing her to take out the dragon-headed cane that should have been enshrined in the ancestral hall.
He straightened his clothes and said to Li Pingan anxiously, "Why don't you announce it quickly!"
Li Ping'an shouted to the outside of the hall, "Summon... the wife of the Marquis of Xiangyang to see you..."
In an instant, all the civil and military officials in the hall began to whisper.
No one knew why the wife of Marquis Xiangyang suddenly came to court.
Those who heard the rumors yesterday looked at Marquis Dingyang in a mocking manner.
There were even ministers who had a conflict with the Dingyang Marquis' Mansion, and they started fighting right in front of him.
The sound of whispering with the person next to him drowned out the voices of everyone else in the Qinzheng Hall.
"Needless to say? It must be related to the old woman in the Marquis of Xiangyang's mansion."
"That's right. Whose precious child could stand being humiliated like this and not stand up?"
Some officials who were oblivious to what was happening outside and who stayed at home alone instantly became interested in this topic.
He glanced at the emperor and saw that he didn't seem to be looking at him, so he stretched his neck a little closer to the official who was speaking.
"Tell me, tell me, what's going on?"
This official also had a strong desire to share, and he was very happy to hear people talk about the good and bad things about Dingyang Marquis' Mansion.
In his rhythmic voice, he told everyone in the hall clearly about the mischief Wang Yizi was doing with a man and a woman.
The emperor was naturally no exception and looked at Li Ping'an in surprise.
Li Ping'an nodded slightly, admitting that this was indeed the case.
But he felt that such dirty things should not be allowed to pollute the emperor's ears, so he didn't say it.
The emperor did not intend to blame Li Ping'an. After all, he knew Li Ping'an's character very well.
Amidst everyone's speculation, the wife of the Marquis of Xiangyang slowly walked into the Qinzheng Hall.
As soon as she stood in the center of the hall, she began to complain to the emperor.
"Your Majesty! The Dingyang Marquis's family deceived the emperor and deceived the eldest daughter of the Xiangyang Marquis' family into marriage. I beg Your Majesty to give my poor daughter justice."
After the wife of Marquis Xiangyang finished speaking, the emperor naturally asked Marquis Dingyang.
"Is this possible?"
Marquis Dingyang hesitated and had nothing to say. In the end, he had to kneel down and bow deeply to the emperor.
Seeing this, the emperor had no choice but to ask the wife of the Marquis of Xiangyang, "What are your plans?"
"Separation!"
Marquis Xiangyang was no longer a quail and quickly spoke out.
"Your Majesty, I was also framed in this matter. I beg Your Majesty to investigate!"
"Then tell me, who framed him in public?"
Marquis Dingyang felt guilty, but he remembered what his son had said about keeping her stable until she gave birth, so he made a promise to the wife of Marquis Xiangyang.
"As long as my eldest daughter-in-law is unreasonable, once the child is born, I am willing to submit a petition to bypass his father and make him the heir apparent."
Everyone started talking to each other again. This condition was really harsh.
Similarly, this condition is indeed for the benefit of the daughter-in-law.
However, the wife of the Marquis of Xiangyang was unhappy and snorted coldly.
"Bah! Such a disgusting thing! You even want to trick my daughter into spending her life with her? How can you not be so happy?"
Feeling that scolding was not enough, he raised the dragon-headed cane in his hand and hit him.
When this thing came down, even the emperor didn't dare to dodge.
After all, injuries to people can be healed, but if someone is injured by this dragon-headed crutch, the whole family might be executed.
He hit Marquis Dingyang several times with his dragon-headed cane until he could no longer stand and his forehead was covered in cold sweat, and then he let go.
"I'm telling you, there's no turning back!
They must divorce, and your Dingyang Marquisate must compensate my daughter for all her losses."
Marquis Dingyang was beaten up by the wife of Marquis Xiangyang and was at a loss for what to do for a moment.
In the end, he got so excited that he actually said what his son had said in advance.
"Stop blaming others here!
It's clearly your daughter who's been misbehaving, yet you're trying to get away with it this way. No way!"
These words made the wife of the Marquis of Xiangyang even more unable to bear it. She raised the dragon-headed cane again and hit him on the head.
"I let you talk nonsense and slander my daughter."
"I'm asking you to turn the tables. It's clearly your shameless family member who was caught red-handed, and he's trying to throw dirty water on my daughter."
After a few hits, a bloody wound appeared on his forehead.
Everyone in the hall was watching with great interest, and no one tried to stop the fight.
Finally, when he saw that he was bleeding, the emperor winked at the civil and military officials on both sides, asking them to pull them apart.
However, everyone looked at the original owner's eldest and second brothers with a covetous look.
They looked like they would beat up anyone who dared to come forward to stop the fight, and everyone was so scared that they stopped in their tracks.
It was not until the wife of the Marquis of Xiangyang was out of breath and had no strength to swing the dragon-headed cane that she stopped and gasped for breath while leaning on the cane.
After catching his breath, he carefully handed the dragon-headed cane to his eldest son, and then slowly knelt down in front of the emperor.
She cried with tears streaming down her face. "Your Majesty, today I beg you as a mother to give my daughter justice!
My daughter was almost a month pregnant, and yesterday those shameless people provoked her into miscarriage, and the baby was lost.
But not only did the Dingyang Marquis' Mansion not show any concern, it even said such shameless words to deliberately turn the tables.
I beg the Emperor to thoroughly investigate this matter!"
