Favoring the concubine and ignoring the wife? The mistress is reborn and marries the villain in the

Chapter 116

Chapter 116

Shen Ling collapsed to the ground, his body shaking constantly. The thing he was most worried about had happened.

Originally, he was just gambling.

He bet that the emperor would never order him to divorce Gu Nianchu. As long as Gu Nianchu could not divorce him, no matter how angry the Gu family was now, they would eventually help Shen Ling for the happiness of their daughter.

But now the emperor has issued an order.

No, the Grand Tutor just said that this is the late emperor’s last will.

The emperor died.

The person in power is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the Zhenbei Marquisate is finished.

Without the protection of the Gu family, even if the empty shell of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion still exists, their Zhenbei Marquis Mansion is finished.

Wang Taifu stuffed the imperial edict into Shen Ling's arms: "Prince Shen, thank you!"

Shen Ling knelt down hurriedly to express his gratitude: "Your Highness Shen Ling accepts your order and expresses his gratitude. Long live the emperor. Long, long live the emperor."

Master Wang took his men away, but Shen Ling was still lying on the ground.

Xu Yan came over and tried to help Shen Ling up, but Shen Ling slapped her: "Xu Yan, are you satisfied now? This is the result you wanted!"

Xu Yan was stunned by Shen Ling's slap: "Prince, what are you doing?"

Shen Ling was like crazy, unable to stop laughing.

Xu Yan was too lazy to care about him, so she asked Wang Ma and Liu Ma to take Shen Shaobai away and not to worry about Shen Ling.

The door was removed and someone had to be hired to repair it.

This man Shen Ling is completely useless.

Yurong came back soon and pulled Xu Yan into the room anxiously.

"Miss, something happened. The Liu family was confiscated and imprisoned!"

Xu Yan was shocked: "What's going on?"

Yurong lowered her voice and said, "It is said that all the money that His Royal Highness Prince Wei had placed in the Liu family was confiscated. Now even His Royal Highness Prince Wei and His Royal Highness Prince Wu have..."

"Miss, you have to make plans early."

Xu Yan was very sad: "Yurong, where do you think we can go? Don't you know why we came back in the first place? We were forced to come back, we can't leave at all."

Someone was forcing them to come back. If not, Xu Yan would never have brought Shen Shaobai back.

This mansion is rotten to the core, and she doesn't want to come back and live with this bastard at all.

Yurong also had a worried look on her face: "Miss, if you don't leave, I'm afraid you will be implicated in the future."

The emperor has passed away, and now the prince is sitting in front of the coffin. The city gates are closed, so even if he wants to leave, he can't.

Xu Yan nodded: "Okay, I understand, you guys should get ready first."

When a great emperor passed away, according to the ancestral system, there would be a mourning period of 37 days, that is, starting from the third day after the emperor's death, there would be a seven-day vigil, followed by a thirty-day mourning period, and then burial in Huangling.

During this period, all the ministers and royal relatives would go to the palace to keep vigil. The King of Qi was granted a special pardon by the new emperor due to his illness, so he did not perform filial duties in front of the coffin most of the time.

General Gu just rushed back to attend the funeral of the late emperor.

When General Gu heard that the late emperor had issued an imperial decree of divorce for his daughter before his death and also arranged for her to be married to the Prince of Qi as his principal wife, he knelt before the late emperor's spirit and expressed his gratitude, crying like a baby and wishing he could cry the late emperor to death.

The ministers all said that the late emperor and General Gu had a deep brotherly love. Although the late emperor had arranged a wrong marriage for the eldest daughter of the Gu family, causing Gu Nianchu to fall into the fire pit, he, as a monarch who had the final say, personally issued an edict to correct it.

In order to make amends to the Gu family, he even gave Gu Nianchu, a divorced woman, to his most beloved son.

The late emperor valued the Prince of Qi very much and at his last moment he made clear the Prince of Qi’s identity as regent.

The new emperor is already seventeen years old and is no longer a child.

The late emperor did this for only one purpose, which was to gain power and status for the King of Qi.

While the King of Qi was waiting for General Gu to return home, he went to pay a visit to his father-in-law.

General Gu invited Zhou Yuchen into the study with a cold face. When Gu Nianping wanted to go in, General Gu did not allow him to do so.

No one knew what General Gu said to His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi. When he came out, His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi walked with a slight limp.

Gu Nianchu quietly asked Zhou Yuchen: "Did my father beat you?"

Zhou Yuchen nodded with a wronged look on his face: "Yeah, the beating was pretty severe, look at my injuries."

Gu Nianchu was not fooled: "Who wants to see your injuries? You just asked for it, don't act like a good kid after getting the advantage."

Zhou Yuchen is now very successful. The only bad thing is that the late emperor has passed away. He has to observe mourning for a year before getting married. Originally, he was supposed to observe mourning for three years, but the empress dowager said that the late emperor was most worried about his marriage to the prince, so she wanted the two brothers to get married like ordinary people, after observing mourning for a year.

Besides, everyone in the world knows that this is the late emperor's will, requiring Gu Nianchu to marry His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi. This is clearly an injustice to His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi. His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi married Gu Nianchu a long time ago, and in the eyes of everyone, it was to reassure the late emperor.

The Marquis of Zhenbei's Mansion has now bought a small courtyard to settle down. It was with the money they asked from the Li family. Although the eldest brother of the Li family did not want to give the money, he felt a little pity for his sister seeing her current condition, so he gave some money to buy a small courtyard to settle them down.

Lord Shen lived here with his concubine and illegitimate son, while Shen Ling lived in Xu Yan's yard.

After General Gu returned to the capital, Lord Shen and Shen Ling both behaved very timidly and did not dare to go out, for fear of being caught by General Gu and having their legs broken.

But even if they were hiding like this, General Gu still came to their door. It didn't matter if the Shen family refused to open the door. The soldiers not only demolished the door, but also pushed down the wall and removed all the tiles on the house.

"General Gu, it's all because of my poor parenting skills that I have wronged Nian Chu."

Lord Shen apologized humbly to General Gu, but General Gu pretended not to hear him and whipped Lord Shen with the whip in his hand. Several concubines and illegitimate sons turned around and ran away in fear, and the servants did not dare to step forward to stop him.

"Shen Tiancheng, do you really think I know nothing? If you dare to plot against my daughter, then you'll have to see if you have the luck to enjoy it!"

It is said that you should not hit people in the face, but General Gu did not care about that. He swung the whip in his hand towards Lord Shen's face, directly beating Lord Shen's old face into a bloody mess.

But even so, Lord Shen had no place to appeal for justice. Now, as long as the Shen family appeared in the outside world, everyone would shout and beat them.

After beating Lord Shen, the next one is naturally Shen Ling.

When Shen Ling saw General Gu coming, he fell to his knees and begged for mercy. General Gu didn't say a word to Shen Ling, and beat Shen Ling to death, leaving him with only one breath.

Shen Ling and Lord Shen were in so much pain that they could only take large amounts of magic medicine to relieve the pain.

They didn't even know that the miraculous medicine that passed through their hands had gone wrong.

I just thought that the two doctors bit their tongues and committed suicide, and didn't give out the other people.
