Fang Chuning was extremely surprised. How could her mother and father get to the point of quarreling with each other? They couldn't quarrel in front of children. Mrs. Fang pulled Fang Chuning away after saying goodbye. Fang Chuning looked back at his father standing motionless, his tall figure looking so forlorn.

Do you really want to make peace?
Reputation is the most important thing in a clan. No matter how tense the relationship between husband and wife is, the wife takes charge of the inside and the husband takes charge of the outside. They do not interfere with each other. As long as the children work together, most of them will not get into trouble or be criticized by others. Heli, the most violent quarrel in the clan, was Zhang Boxing's parents a few years ago. Although they were reconciled, they were almost expelled from the clan. A person like Mrs. Zhang who valued his reputation would never allow such a thing to happen, and his parents and Li would also do the same. Affecting the future of your children will not come to this step unless it is absolutely necessary.

Since Fang Chuning went to the Ningzhou battlefield, he only returned to Beijing during the holidays. His mother and Junjun depended on each other at home. His father, who was stationed in Jiangnan, actually returned to Beijing quite frequently, almost once in March. Unless there was something unusual at the Sangnan border, the commander-in-chief would return to Beijing to accompany his wife and daughter. On the contrary, Fang Chuning was in a tight war situation in the northern barbarians and could not return to Beijing on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day for several years, so he had to ask someone to send him a New Year's gift. Fang Chuning also knew that her mother had a deep affection for her father. During the Yuwen Dynasty, her mother was the eldest princess, and her father was a military prince. It was not practical for the princess to leave Beijing and go to the south of the Yangtze River. She could only live in the middle of Beijing and live in two places. In the Beining Dynasty, her mother resigned The identity of the princess is finally free.

If he could let her go to Jiangnan during the Yuwen Dynasty, he might not have refused. Why is there a divorce now?
"Mom, if it's because of me, you and your father have to reconcile..."

"Tu Nan, it has nothing to do with you." Fang Chuning interrupted him and smiled bitterly, "My mother made such a decision because my fate with your father has ended."

Fang Chuning couldn't expose the fact that he had recovered his memory, so he was a little anxious. Mrs. Fang seemed to understand him and took him to the courtyard to sit and rest.

There is a row of peach trees planted in the main courtyard. In autumn, the peaches are full of fruit. The peaches are about to mature, but her expectations are in vain. These are the peach blossoms planted the year they got married. The flowers bloom and fall. Throughout the year, how many times did the young she stand on the peach blossoms? Under the tree, she was looking forward to her husband's return from the south of the Yangtze River, but many times she only received letters from home, but her expectations were in vain. She was trapped in Kyoto for many years because of her status as a princess, and because of the death of the eldest daughter of the Li family, she was ridiculed by the Li family for many years. She originally thought It had been many years since this incident, so how could the Li family have the courage to ridicule her? It turned out to be the person beside her who gave her the confidence.

Mrs. Fang was also afraid that Fang Chuning would blame himself and expose his own scars, "Tunan, my marriage with your father is not perfect. Your father was born in the Fang family and was destined not to have the right to freely choose his wife. I am similar in age to him, and everyone knows , I will be given a marriage to him when I reach the age of hairpin. But he doesn’t like me, and prefers the gentle temperament of the eldest girl of the Li family. He also knows that he has no right to choose his wife, and he refused to marry and later apologized to me. I hope I can make things happen for him and Miss Li. Although I am sad that I cannot marry the man of my dreams, I am a princess and have been favored for many years and can always choose a husband of my choice. I also proposed to my father and mother the idea of ​​re-electing a husband. They also agreed to me, so I told your father that you don’t have to worry about the marriage. I won’t marry him, and my parents agreed to me. But he and I both underestimated the royal family’s determination to facilitate this marriage. During a palace banquet together, , your father and I lost our temper after drinking, and the marriage was sealed."

Mrs. Fang still felt humiliated when she talked about this incident, but she did not want to tell Fang Chuning directly. She only said that she lost her temper after drinking. Even though she liked the handsome man back then, this incident became a shadow in her life. She could not forgive her doting mother. With her father, she is the daughter of the Yuwen clan. The queen likes her and has raised her since she was a child. The queen treats her as her own child. The prince and her have a deep brotherly love, but he did not expect that this matter would give her a fatal blow. But Mrs. Fang didn't know who to blame. Even if it was their biological daughter, they would do this. It's not that they don't love her, they love her, but they can't withstand the oppression of the imperial power.

The Yuwen royal family was in turmoil. After the Marquis of Zhenbei married the daughter of the Lin family, there was no way that the eldest son of the Fang family would marry a girl from the Li family. Anyone with eyes could see that the Fang family could only honor the princess.

"On the day we got married, Miss Li hanged herself at home. Your father abandoned me on the night of the wedding, and I became a joke among others. My mother was a pampered eldest princess since she was a child. She was arrogant and had never suffered such humiliation. And he was resentful of what happened to us. Of course, this could not be a good thing. On the third day after Miss Li passed away, the eldest son and the youngest son of Li wanted to harm me and injured my maid. I couldn't bear it and ordered someone to fight back. We also filed an imperial complaint. The Li family brothers were immediately deprived of their honors and were whipped thirty times at the gate of the palace as a warning. Your father came to admit his mistake and plead for mercy. How could I agree? At this point, we have completely forged a relationship. I You and your father also had a huge quarrel and fought. Compared with a domineering and overbearing eldest princess like me, he even pitied the dead Miss Li and favored the Li family. He separated from me. Since Miss Li died, I will do the same. In preparation for enmity with your father, he stayed away from Kyoto and went to the south of the Yangtze River. He never even came back to see you when you were born, until two years later, my father and mother took pity on me and called him back to the capital."

Mrs. Fang had to be strong all her life. Even after Miss Li died, she became the talk of everyone after dinner, and was scolded by the handsome man for not returning to Beijing after two years of marriage. She still straightened her back and faced all the rumors and rumors. Hurt, after Aunt Fang Chuning married into the second wife of the Li family, Mrs. Fang was too lazy to socialize with the elders of the Fang family, and was full of complaints. How could such a marriage be happy?
Later, the late emperor who doted on the eldest princess was burned to death in the palace, the queen was buried, and the prince died. Although she was still the leader of the Yuwen Dynasty, Mrs. Fang's status also plummeted, and the Li family's revenge also followed.

Mrs. Fang was alone against the entire family. The Yuwen royal family at that time would not support her. Mrs. Fang was once forced to have a mental breakdown by the Li family and was miserable. But she never complained a word to the commander who was far away in the south of the Yangtze River. Perhaps deep down in her heart, she had already decided that in the fight between her and the Li family, the commander would always side with the Li family. Even her younger sister was married. After all, they were in-laws. Woolen cloth? How ironic!

Mrs. Zhenbei Hou couldn't stand it. Together with Mrs. Fang's handkerchief to support her, and all of them were wives of military generals, Mrs. Fang's situation gradually improved. The Li family did not dare to offend the rising Zhenbei Hou.

During the twenty-year feud with the Li family, Mrs. Fang had long hated their family. She even disliked the children born to girls from the Fang family and did not allow Fang Chuning and Fang Lingjun to associate with them. Therefore, the Fang brothers and sisters and The cousins ​​of the Li family are very affectionate.

Mrs. Fang said softly, "Your father and I should have reconciled a long time ago. We had no choice but to do it when we were in the Yuwen Dynasty. My status and his status did not allow us to become enemies with Li. Now in the new dynasty, my mother has no pressure. You There’s no need to feel guilty, this matter has nothing to do with you.”

How could it be irrelevant!

Fang Chuning lowered his eyes, clenching his fists tightly on his knees, and his nails almost pierced his palms. He did not expect that his mother would suddenly mention this matter to him. While he felt sorry for his mother, he also remembered many things from his childhood.

In fact, when he was eight years old, he knew that his birth was a very shameful and unacceptable thing for his father, and he also knew why his father had disliked him since he was a child. (End of chapter)
