The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 391 Abandoned Woman
May is the most beautiful season in Beijing, with the drunken willows blowing the embankment, singing and swallows dancing.It was just in time for General Zhou Yi to fight back against the Xiongnu and return to Beijing triumphantly, adding excitement and festivities to this spring day.

Zhou Jiangning was worried that family affairs would distract her father who was away on the expedition, so she told Zhou Yi in a letter from home about what Zhao Yuaner had done to Zhou Huai'en after she learned that her father had repelled the Xiongnu's triumphant return.

After Zhou Yi received a letter from his family on the way back to Beijing, he ordered his adjutant to lead the army to stay behind. He only brought a team of personal guards and hurried back home day and night.

When Zhou Jiangning saw his father, he told Zhou Yi the whole story of the incident, and brought the personal and material evidence to his father.

Zhou Yi only had a son like Zhou Huai'en. He knew that Zhao Yuan'er was a wicked person, so he had no choice but to place his son in his hometown because he was worried that his son would be persecuted by the Zhao family. Take his son back to Beijing, and use this vicious trick to mutilate his flesh and blood.

Zhou Yi was furious after hearing the eldest daughter's words, and immediately wrote down the divorce letter, and then asked Zhao Yuaner to be escorted over, forcing her to sign the letter.

Zhao Yuan'er was imprisoned by Zhou Jiangning for several months, and she had long since lost the appearance of a pampered lady in the past. She was covered in filth and her hair was disheveled, like a mad woman.When she saw Zhou Yi, she complained and shouted, cried and made noises, and refused to sign the divorce letter for mortgage.

Zhao Yuaner was never virtuous and unfavorable, Zhou Yi had no feelings for her at all, but it was the emperor's order, and he reluctantly maintained a nominal husband and wife relationship with her for the sake of Jianjun's palace. Now Zhao has touched Zhou Yi. Yi's bottom line, Zhou Yi will naturally not show mercy to her.

Seeing that she was crying, Zhou Yi impatiently waved at the attendants on the left and right, stepped forward, pressed Zhao Yuan'er's hand forcibly, and made a bet.

Zhou Yi didn't even want to look at the crazy woman, and after she finished the drawing, he told his attendants, "Send this letter of divorce to the Prince's Mansion of Jian County, and escort this abandoned woman to the family temple for strict supervision."

When Zhao Yuan'er heard this, she yelled and cursed Zhou Yi like a mad dog. She broke down on the ground and cried, refusing to submit to anything.

The attendant had no choice but to gag her, and was about to tie her up and take her away forcibly, when the doorman said back and forth: "Junjun Wang and Princess Jianjun came to the mansion to ask for an audience."

Zhou Yi ordered the attendant: "Since her parents are here, let them meet again." The attendant was ordered, and then released Zhao Yuaner.

After a while, Prince Jian and his wife entered the main hall. Seeing their daughter like this, Princess Jian didn't care about face, she threw herself at her daughter and started crying. King Jian frowned and asked Zhou Yi: Wang's daughter is a princess after all, even if she married a general and made a mistake, you shouldn't treat her like this."

Zhou Yi snorted coldly: "Since she married into my general's mansion according to the order, if she makes a mistake, she will be dealt with by my family's rules."

As he said that, he pushed all the evidence of Zhao Yuaner's murder of Zhou Yi's heir to King Jianjun: "What good deeds did the prince's precious daughter do, please let the prince see for himself."

Since Zhao Yuan'er committed the crime, Jian Junwang and his wife have come to the mansion many times to look for it. How could they not understand the crime committed by their daughter.

King Jian pushed back those criminal evidences, and said to Zhou Yi in a calm tone: "General Zhou, as the saying goes, 'One day a husband and wife is a hundred days of kindness'. , you see that she has no credit but hard work, just forgive her this time."

Zhou Yi said in a cold voice: "My lord said it lightly. Mrs. Zhao is so cruel that she even tried to poison the only son of this general while I was away on the expedition. Such a poisonous woman, how can my lord ask me to forgive her."

King Jian also knew that his daughter had done too much in this matter, he sighed slightly, not knowing how to plead with Zhou Yi again.

Princess Jianjun has also reached the end of the matter. It is impossible for Zhou Yi to live with his daughter any longer. If the married daughter is divorced and returned to her natal family, it is impossible for her to remarry even if she is a middle-aged daughter of the royal family.Princess Jianjun saw her daughter being tortured so badly that she didn't want her daughter to be a noble lady anymore, she just wanted to let her have enough food and clothing for the rest of her life, if she was abandoned by Zhou Yixiu and sent to Zhou's family temple Well, those people would never wait to see a second wife, how miserable the daughter's second half of life might be.

For the sake of her daughter's future, Princess Jianjun begged Zhou Yi: "Although Yuan'er was confused for a while, she didn't hurt the young master after all. Since the general insists on abandoning Yuan'er, the concubine has nothing to ask for. I beg the general to allow the prince and my concubine to bring her back to the mansion."

"It can't be done!"

Although Zhou Yi hated Zhao Yuan'er, he was not a cold-blooded person. He saw Princess Jianjun's loving mother lowered her attitude and begged. Zhou Yi was about to relax when Zhou Jiangning walked into the main hall heroically, and rejected Jianjun in a cold voice. Queen's request.

Zhao Yuan'er had just settled down after being caressed by her mother, but when she saw Zhou Jiangning disturbing her again, she immediately jumped up from the ground in anger, pointed at Zhou Jiangning's nose and cursed: "You evil star, you have made trouble with me time and time again, in the end What is the reason? You are already a married woman, but you blindly come to participate in the affairs of your mother's family, how can you speak here?"

Zhou Jiangning held her head high and said to Zhao Yuan'er: "I am the eldest daughter of the great general. Naturally, the general's mansion has my share of speech. You are a concubine, you don't have the face to fight me hard."

Saying that, Zhou Jiangning waved at the servants on the left and right, and ordered: "Take this abandoned woman to my family temple and take care of her."

The servants on the left and right were about to come forward to pull Zhao Yuaner, but Zhao Yuaner hid tightly behind her mother in fright, crying, "Father, Queen Mother, Concubine, help me!"

Princess Jianjun had heard about Zhou Jiangning's pungent reputation a long time ago. Seeing that the other party deliberately made her daughter feel better, she said angrily, "Yuan'er is the princess, with a noble status, so I don't allow you to deal with it."

Zhou Jiangning replied coldly: "Even if she is the king of heaven, since she married into my Zhou family, since she committed a crime, she must be dealt with according to the Zhou family's rules."

Seeing Zhou Jiangning's indifferent attitude, King Jianjun softened his tone and said to her meaningfully: "Miss Zhou, as the saying goes, it's convenient for others and convenient for yourself." In [-], she was about to be transferred to Beijing, since the eldest girl is already married and a wife, she naturally has to plan more for her husband's family, why bother to participate in such things as her mother's family."

As a member of the royal family, King Jianjun is in charge of the appointment and dismissal of the officials. His words are blatantly threatening Zhou Jiangning to compromise.
