Chapter 80 It turns out that someone is backing him up

Xie Xilan and Gu Shuang didn't understand why Gu Nianchu no longer had feelings for Shen Ling but still refused to divorce. They thought she was just making herself suffer.

"Aunt, don't worry. Even if you get divorced, it won't affect our Gu family's daughter's marriage. We are not afraid!"

Gu Shuang said to Gu Nianchu firmly: "Father and mother have told us that if we let our aunt suffer in the fire pit for our own selfish desires, then if other daughters of our Gu family encounter such a situation in the future, they will have no choice but to suffer in the fire pit and die!"

"It doesn't matter if others treat us badly, our Gu family will love our daughter! Divorce, aunt, come back to the Gu family, the Gu family is your most solid support, and can support you for the rest of your life! We are all your descendants, and we can take care of you in your old age and see you to the end of your life!"

Such words coming out of Gu Shuang's mouth made Gu Nianchu tear up. She reached out and hugged Gu Shuang in her arms: "Shuang'er, auntie knows, auntie just has some things to do. Wait for auntie to finish and then go home."

At this time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi had already arrived at the main hall of the Grand View Tower. Everyone bowed and saluted: "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and to His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said with a cold face: "What's the commotion?"

Li Xueshi stepped forward and told the truth of what happened. His Royal Highness looked at Wang Xueshi who was speaking for Xu Yan and said, "Wang Xueshi, is it your concubine who is in charge of the household affairs?"

Wang Xueshi felt a chill on his back. "Your Highness, in my household, my wife is in charge of the household expenses. I dare not favor my concubine over my wife!"

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince snorted coldly: "Master Wang, why did you say such rude words just now?"

Scholar Wang fell to his knees and said, "Your Highness, I am wrong. Please punish me!"

What is there for everyone to not understand? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is just dissatisfied with Shen Ling's favoritism towards his concubine and neglect of his wife. He is here to support the eldest daughter of the Gu family!
The Crown Prince's fiancée is from the Xie family, and the Xie family is Gu Nianchu's maternal family!
After understanding the key point, everyone began to blame Shen Ling.

Shen Ling's face turned pale and he knelt on the ground: "Your Highness, my wife doesn't like occasions like this, so I brought my concubine here. I have no intention of favoring my concubine over my wife!"

At this time, Xu Yan also followed Shen Ling and knelt behind him, with her head on the ground, not daring to look up.

"Master Shen, this is strange. I just saw Miss Gu coming."

At this time, someone kindly reminded Shen Ling that the Crown Prince's wife, Miss Xie, and Miss Gu were in the Grand View Tower.

Shen Ling's face looked very ugly and he kept explaining.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just had a cold face and said nothing.

"His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei has arrived! His Royal Highness the Prince of Wu has arrived!"

With the announcement, the eldest prince, Prince of Wei, and the second prince, Prince of Wu, arrived.

"Your Highness, what happened? Why are you still angry?"

The King of Wei looked at His Royal Highness with a smile. Before His Royal Highness could speak, the King of Wu spoke up, "Your Royal Highness, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. The Daguan Tower Poetry Festival is to celebrate with the people. Even if the concubines from the Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion are here, it's no big deal. Your Royal Highness should just forgive them. After all, there is no rule that concubines can't come to the Daguan Tower Poetry Festival, right?"

It is true that there is no such rule, but even the most suave prince would not be so absurd as to bring a concubine to a poetry gathering and embarrass himself.

The King of Wei and the King of Wu came to support Shen Ling, which was clearly intended to go against His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince holds an honorable position, the King of Wei and the King of Wu are both His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's brothers. The Great Zhou governs the world with filial piety, so His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must give them some face.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked a little unhappy.

Just as he was about to speak, the King of Qi beside him spoke first. "Big Brother, Second Brother, you guys know everything about this place even though you haven't been here yet. Are you keeping an eye on the Crown Prince?"

The King of Wei and the King of Wu did not dare to accept this statement and sent people to keep an eye on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. What did they want to do?
Is it rebellion?
Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the younger brother and they are the older brothers, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the king and they are the subjects.

"Third brother, we just heard some casual comments from people outside when we came here, so we are here to persuade His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not to get angry over such trivial matters. Please don't accuse us of anything."

The King of Wu said with a cold face. His Royal Highness the King of Qi snorted coldly, and his aura turned cold: "I didn't know that the Crown Prince hadn't made a final decision on the matter here, and there were those blind servants who dared to spread it casually!"

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

King Wei sighed and said, "Brother, this is just a small matter. You should persuade His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Why do you have to do this? Well, today is the first day of the new year. Why don't we go have a drink and leave the things here to them."

It would be very embarrassing if the princes caused any trouble here.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince nodded to His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi and said, "Brother Three, let's go."

Before leaving, he said to Student Li: "Mr. Li, the affairs of the poetry gathering are now in your hands. Please don't let me down."

Scholar Li bowed and replied, "Yes," and respectfully saw off His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi.

Just as the Prince of Wei and the Prince of Wu were about to follow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince upstairs, Xie Jinghong reached out to stop them: "Your Highness Prince of Wei, Your Highness Prince of Wu, my sister is here, it is not convenient for us to meet other men."

This was a blatant slap in the face of the King of Wei and the King of Wu.

"you……"

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince turned around and said, "My two brothers, please do as you please. I have an appointment with Miss Xie today, so I can't drink with you two brothers."

Now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had said so, the King of Wei and the King of Wu could not say anything else and could only watch them go upstairs.

"Brother, let's go."

The King of Wu whispered something to the King of Wei, and the two of them walked away leisurely.

Shen Ling and Xu Yan were still kneeling on the ground, not daring to get up.

Li Xueshi watched the princes leave, then walked over to Shen Ling and helped him up: "Prince Shen, you are really confused. Now people are saying that you favor your concubine over your wife. Why are you still showing off your concubine in public? You said that this matter has been brought to the attention of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, why bother?"

Shen Ling's face turned pale as he bowed to Li Xueshi: "Thank you, Master Li. I'll take my leave now."

Shen Ling pulled Xu Yan away, leaving behind a scene of ridicule.

Xu Yan couldn't keep up with Shen Ling's pace and stumbled along behind him, looking very embarrassed.

The two got on the carriage, and Xu Yan couldn't help crying: "Husband, it's all Yan'er's fault, Yan'er is sorry for you!"

Shen Ling glared at Xu Yan: "Xu Yan, how long are you going to make such a fuss? Look at what you are doing. You insisted on being in the limelight, and now you have lost face instead of being known as a talented woman!"
