Chapter 18 This is a misunderstanding
  "Marquis Wu'an."

The prince narrowed his eyes and said coldly.

Although there was no emotion in his words, Pei Haoting was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty is here."

The prince lazily raised his eyelids, and his tone showed no emotion or anger.

"I heard that in order to ensure a smooth career, you gave your legitimate wife and adopted daughter to others?"

"This... Your Highness, this is a misunderstanding!"

Pei Haoting broke into cold sweat and knelt down in front of the prince with a plop.

"Misunderstanding?" The prince sneered again and again.

"I saw it with my own eyes, and you still dare to say it was a misunderstanding. Could it be that...are you implying that I am blind?"

"Your Highness, I am wronged! I would never dare to discuss Your Highness in private!"

Pei Haoting's face turned gloomy, and he just knelt on the ground and kowtowed in apology.

The prince then changed the subject and turned to look at Mrs. Cheng.

"Are you the legitimate wife of Marquis Wu'an?"

"My wife is exactly that."

Cheng's legs and feet were inconvenient, so the prince exempted her from the courtesy. After pondering for a while, he said: "Marquis Wu'an dotes on his concubine and destroys his wife. He is disrespectful to his wife because of his concubine. As the prince, I will end the family affairs of Marquis Wu'an's house today." , the Cheng family and Marquis Wu An, make peace!"

Cheng's face was filled with joy.

I thought Heli would have to fight with Pei Haoting for a while, but I didn't expect the prince to come forward.

Pei Shao was also beaming at the side.

Although she is young, she also understands His Highness the Prince's golden words. Once a word is spoken, it is hard to follow. Once he speaks, the divorce is a certainty.

No matter how bold Pei Haoting was, he would not dare to disobey His Highness the Crown Prince. He had to write this and Li Shu even if he didn't want to.

"Your Highness, I have one more thing to ask of you."

"Oh?"

The prince was very interested.

There are not many people who dare to push the envelope and make conditions with him.

Cheng's tone was a little uneasy.

"My wife has two sons and two daughters. She is really worried about them staying alone in the Marquis..."

Because Pei Qianyue was an adopted daughter and was not recorded in the family tree, the Cheng family did not mention her.

The prince waved his hand and agreed.

"I thought it was something. The Cheng family has taken care of the house and property of General Wu'an in an orderly manner. Naturally, she has the qualifications to take away her children."

Mrs. Cheng then bowed her eyebrows and thanked her favor.

People in the market only said that the prince had the demeanor of the current sage when he was a child, and that was true. Mrs. Cheng really didn't expect that the prince was so easy to talk to.

However, Mr. Cheng is not stupid enough to think that the prince treats everyone like this.

What emperors and princes want is to kill decisively and distinguish right from wrong. If this is the case for everyone, then it is the kindness of women.

"Marquis Wu An," Master An finally spoke, "Why don't you let her go?"

He looked at Pei Qianyue, who was still restrained by the boy, and spoke coldly.

Pei Haoting fell to the ground, his reaction was a little slow.

What happened today was a huge blow to him.

Throughout the ages, there has never been a precedent for a woman and Li to take away their children. If Cheng took away his children, wouldn't he be declaring his incompetence to the world?

"Your Highness the Crown Prince——" After thinking about the stakes, Pei Haoting did not care about Mr. An. He took a few steps forward and crawled to the feet of the Crown Prince. He begged in a tone of voice: "He Li Secretary can write, but I, the heir of the Hou Mansion, really There is no reason to be taken away by outsiders——"

"Are you questioning my words?" The prince was a little impatient, with a hint of disgust on his brows.

Today, the Holy Emperor and the Queen are a young couple, playing the harp and playing the harp, and they are extremely loving. However, before the prince, the Holy Emperor's eldest son, was born, no children were born among the other concubines in the harem, in order for the Holy Emperor to take care of the Queen's face.

The eldest son can only be the son of his legitimate wife. Since he was a child, the prince has been accustomed to seeing the relationship between his father and his mother, and he is quite disgusted with the behavior of a group of concubines in the inner courtyard of other ministers' homes.

Pei Haoting's incident can be regarded as a bad luck for him.

Pei Haoting just fell silent.

Although face is important, he must not let the prince or the future prince catch him.

"Mom!" Pei Shao suddenly shouted, so frightened that Mrs. Cheng almost covered her mouth.

My little ancestor, haven’t you seen that the prince and the envoys are here?

"It stinks!" Pei Shao frowned and covered his mouth tightly, feeling a little disgusted.

"He peed!" She pointed at Pei Haoting, and her childish voice restrained both the prince and Mr. An.

"I'm really sorry..." Mrs. Cheng covered Pei Shao's mouth and apologized hastily.

"My little girl is young and her words and deeds are incompatible. I hope you will not argue with her."

Pei Shao tried his best to hold her hand.

[Mother, mother, dear, let go of Shao Shao, let Shao Shao take it out on you and make him look like an adult! 】

Pei Shao felt that Mr. An looked at her again.

Mrs. Cheng gently flicked her forehead with her other hand, just treating her as a child.

Mr. An didn't take it to heart and smiled warmly.

"Childish and careless, I am not so petty." He changed the subject.

"I just didn't expect that the dignified Marquis Wu'an would be so worthless that he would be scared to death in front of everyone on the street."

Pei Haoting's face turned red, but yellow liquid was still dripping down his pants. He couldn't argue even if he wanted to.

"Mr. An, let's see the joke." The prince arched his hands towards Mr. An, his tone was extremely respectful.

"My father has wanted to see you since Mr. An arrived in the capital, but he has never been free. It was only today that he had time. I also asked Mr. An to follow me into the palace."

Mrs. Cheng was shocked.

What is the origin of Mr. An?
  "Please, Your Highness."

Lord An nodded slightly, still looking like he was banishing an immortal.

It wasn't until the two of them left the inn, along with the other envoys, that Pei Haoting got up from the ground.

His face turned red and he angrily rebuked the people around him, but no one listened to him.

"Master Hou! All the brothers saw clearly just now!"

Seeing the prince leave, a bearded man became bolder and said with a smile: "Everyone has seen it! The dignified Marquis Wu An was so frightened that he peed his pants on the street!"

Pei Haoting pointed at him, and his body couldn't stop shaking because of his anger.

"You... you are such a cunning person! How dare you go against this prince!"

"Hey." The bearded man was not afraid, and whispered: "You even want to divorce your own wife, and you have to take the child away. I don't think it's more than that for you, the Marquis."

Seeing Mr. Cheng sitting in a wheelchair, the bearded man felt even more pity.

I just feel that she is an orphan and a widowed mother, so pitiful, but fortunately she has the support of the prince.

[Well said, well said! Big brother can talk, please talk more! 】

Pei Shao loved to see Pei Haoting deflated and applauded in his heart.

Cheng was so frightened that she covered her mouth again.

My little ancestor, it’s really not a big deal to watch the excitement.

Now that the divorce has been agreed upon, Mrs. Cheng feels very happy and hopes that Pei Haoting will return to the Marquis soon and write a letter of divorce with her.

According to the laws of this dynasty, if the couple reconciles and divorces, the woman's dowry must be returned, but if the wife divorces, she does not.

After the divorce, a woman can remarry, but a concubine cannot remarry in her lifetime. The difference is huge.

It was precisely because of this that Pei Haoting gritted his teeth and refused to make peace before the prince gave the order.
