Marquis Dingbei had never seen her like this before, and he couldn't react for a while.
Mr. Jiao, on the other hand, held her stomach and cried miserably, not forgetting to try her best to make her presence felt.
"Uh-huh, Lord Marquis, how are you? Leave me alone and call the guards in quickly."
Dingbei Hou came to his senses and became furious, "Cui Jinrou, are you crazy? You actually dare to take action?" "
Yes. , I'm just crazy." Mrs. Cui nodded happily, smiling colder than thousand-year-old ice.
"After the entire Kyoto capital was moved away, when hundreds of people in the entire Marquis Mansion fled, but no one thought of me, when the barbarian cavalry chased me away like a dog, my burning eyes turned black, only When I can go into the forest and fight for my life with wild wolves and black bears, I will go crazy!"
Dingbeihou felt slightly weak after hearing this and wanted to refute, but there was no reason to abandon his wife and run away alone.
Mrs. Jiao stretched out her hand to protect Dingbei Hou, crying until the pear blossoms were wet with rain.
"Sister Cui, you can't say that to the Marquis. The Marquis had to protect the Queen Mother and the Emperor when they went south. He didn't close his eyes for days and nights and had no time to think about my sister. Does my sister think that the Emperor and the Queen Mother are not as important as you? Family and country. You can't have both, you can't have both. Loyalty and filial piety can't have both!"
"Yes," Dingbeihou felt happy, and finally found some confidence, "I am a military prince, and it is my responsibility to protect my family and country at all times, don't say It's you, my parents, and I will choose to be loyal without hesitation."
Mrs. Cui raised her hands to applaud, and praised her, "Okay, that's very well said. Among the generals of Tianwu, you are the best at maneuvering. In other words, everyone who hears this will probably be moved to tears and praise you for your loyalty."
She raised her finger and pointed to the courtyard, "But look at your whole family, your concubines, your children, and even your first-in-law's maid and the little one you raise every day. All the dogs have brought me to Xindu, but I didn't take you to have a wife. Taking your wife would be unfaithful and unfilial! Do you believe it in your own words? Do you want me to go to Xindu and let everyone in the world praise you? Sentence!"
As soon as she finished her words, the girl who was watching the excitement in the courtyard hid behind her in fear, and the puppy she was holding fell down.
The puppy happily ran into the house and ran around Dingbeihou.
Marquis Dingbei was severely torn apart and had nowhere to vent, so he kicked the puppy as far as he could.
The puppy whined in pain and ran out again pitifully.
"I was blind back then!" Mrs. Cui couldn't hold back her tears when she thought of those years.
Dingbeihou felt irritated when he heard this, pulled Jiao away and asked.
"Then what do you want to do? You have ignored me for so many years and have not fulfilled your responsibilities as a wife. I am not begging you to come down now. As long as you are an ordinary wife, you are so unwilling. Rao, look at you, do you still look as gentle and dignified as before?"
At this moment, Mr. Liu couldn't help but say, "Fu Qingrong! Don't think that you can bully Jinrou so unscrupulously after the death of Grand Scholar Cui. Jinrou. There is an old bone like me behind Rou! You left me as a good wife in Kyoto, and after all the hard work to get here, you still want to be a common wife. Why! If you dare to quibble again, we will go to the emperor and tell you ! Maybe the emperor knew that you abandoned your wife to protect him, but he didn't forget to take care of the maids and dogs, and even promoted you to a noble rank!"
Dingbei Hou's head was buzzing when he heard that, he is from the Queen Mother's faction, The emperor only recognizes Ye Chengyi. If he comes to the emperor, he may just give the emperor an excuse to withdraw his military power.
Mrs. Jiao was so close that she saw that his forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat, so she gritted her teeth and threw herself in the middle of the ground, kneeling in front of Mrs. Cui, crying bitterly.
"Oh, sister, please don't embarrass the Marquis! It's all my fault, I shouldn't have married in. Wuwu, the Marquis is too tired. He is walking on thin ice in the court. One day, a hundred days of kindness to the husband and wife, please Sister, for the sake of past friendship, please don't embarrass the Marquis anymore."
Marquis Dingbei was moved when he heard that his new wife was so virtuous, and when he looked at his first wife, his eyes were full of resentment and disgust.
Mrs. Cui was so angry that the iceberg in her heart was about to break. She lowered her head to look at Mr. Jiao and asked directly.
"So the Marquis is really married to a good woman who cares about him. So, don't you feel sorry for the Marquis? Just leave voluntarily and invite him to the court. Then the Marquis will definitely not be embarrassed. ."
"No!" Mrs. Jiao subconsciously objected, "No, I am Mrs. Hou, and I was married by a matchmaker!"
"Look, you feel sorry for Mr. Hou, but you are stepping on me and sacrificing me. You are so kind! Mrs. Cui sneered.
The gleam in her eyes made Jiao feel angry, "Why can't you be sacrificed? You should die outside and don't come back! The barbarians have been occupying Jiangbei for how long. Who knows how many barbarians you have been ruined and your innocence has been lost." , why do you have the nerve to come back and be Mrs. Hou!"
"Pah!" Mrs. Cui grabbed the tea bowl and hit Jiao on the head hard. Jiao turned her head to avoid the tea bowl, but the tea poured all over her body.
"Shut your stinky mouth, you think everyone is like you. Marrying a husband as old as your father when you are less than twenty years old is not just for the benefit of your family. Do you think you are the same as a brothel girl? , how different! They are all foxes of thousands of years, how can they pretend to be ladies!"
Mrs. Cui scolded her loudly. She stopped looking at the screaming Jiao family and turned to Marquis Dingbei, "We are making peace. We must sign the peace and divorce immediately. Book!"
"No!" Marquis Dingbei frowned, and he didn't want to put on any show of love and righteousness. "Just like Mr. Jiao said, your innocence has been lost, and I want to divorce your wife!"
"Okay, then go ahead. Your Majesty, come here to write a royal decree. Let your Majesty and everyone in the world hear whether you should divorce your wife or make peace!"
"You, you are so unreasonable!" Marquis Dingbei was so angry that he wanted to kill someone.
Mr. Liu put the tea bowl down heavily, "Fu Qingrong, you'd better be there when I save your face, otherwise you won't regret it in the end. You thought that by tying the Jiao family to your side, you would be able to sit back and relax. Hum. , in Weizhou, the Jiao family is not qualified to speak loudly in front of my Liu family! If you don't believe it, let's try it!"
The other two old men also supported, "The Jiao family is a merchant, and everyone in Weizhou knows it. A truly scholarly family, an aristocratic family, will never marry a daughter of the Jiao family, so you, a short-sighted person like you, treat her like a treasure!"
Mrs. Jiao originally wanted to make trouble, but when she heard this, she felt guilty and could only mourn. Crying, not daring to interrupt.
Marquis Dingbei's face changed for a long time before he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's make peace, but I have one more condition."
"Let's talk about it." There was no sadness or joy on Mrs. Cui's face, so Marquis Dingbei said She was unsure, but she still said, "In the future, we will tell the public that we made peace when we were in Kyoto."
Mrs. Cui laughed angrily, but she also felt that it was expected, "Okay, Dingbei Hou wants to save face and not others." Knowing that he abandoned his first wife and ran away alone, I don't want others to know that he stopped his wife and remarried! I will be merciful and help you!"
Marquis Dingbei gritted his teeth in anger, "Hurry up and sign the divorce document, and then get away from me. !"
Mr. Liu took out two letters of departure written in advance, and Liu Zhiheng personally delivered them to Dingbei Hou.
Marquis Dingbei read it carefully before signing his name and pressing his fingerprints.
Mrs. Cui also stepped forward to sign her name and pressed it with trembling fingers.
