Emperor concubine and phoenix

Chapter 450
"Miss Bai." Nan Si frowned, "Is the truth as Madam Lu said?"

Bai Yiyi clutched Lu Chong's clothes tightly, sobbing softly, as if she was extremely afraid.

"His Royal Highness." Lu Chong bowed and said, "Yiyi was frightened today..."

"Scared?" Nan Si smiled half-smile, but the color in her eyes was piercingly cold, "So you won't even reply?"

Lu Chong choked.

"Miss Bai." Nan Si's tone became colder, "You can't help being silent in front of this princess."

After the words fell, Bai Yiyi's body trembled suddenly.

"Gu Yan." Mrs. Lu looked at Gu Yan, "I know that you are from a prime minister's family, and the Gu family is more noble than my Lu family. I didn't expect that you are friends with Her Highness the Princess, and you can ask the Princess to come forward for you, but this time It's clear that you were at fault first, Your Majesty the Empress is wise, and the princess will not discriminate between right and wrong—"

Gu Yan stood aside, no longer looking at her, with a pale and quiet expression.

"Don't worry, Mrs. Lu." Nan Si smiled lightly, "Your Majesty is wise, everyone in the world knows that this princess will not disregard right from wrong and ruin my mother's reputation outside. Gu Yan didn't ask me to come out, it was me I've been bored in the palace for the past two days, and taking advantage of the cold weather, I thought of going out to her to talk about the old days, but I didn't expect to encounter such a thing."

After a pause, "But since I'm here, I can't pretend that I haven't seen or heard anything, Mr. Lu said, right?"

Lu Chong nodded stiffly, but his eyes were always looking at Gu Yan intentionally or unintentionally, with pain and disappointment in his eyes.

"So can you please tell me, Miss Bai, that it was Gu Yan who pushed you into the river, causing you to have a miscarriage?" Nan Si looked at Bai Yiyi, and saw that she was still tightly holding on to Lu Chong's clothes, as if she was going to be ready at any time. As if worried that he would be snatched away, "If Miss Bai continues to remain silent, this princess will only think you are lying."

As soon as these words came out, Madam Lu and Lu Chong's expressions changed slightly.

"Yan'er." Madam Lu said in a low voice, "Just tell the truth, Her Royal Highness will not make things difficult for you."

Nan Si was noncommittal.

Ye Junling frowned, and just glanced at Bai Yiyi's expression, he knew that this woman was no different from those women in the backyard of the aristocratic family who were best at pretending to be weak, and those in the harem who always used tears as a weapon.

In other words, her methods are a little too young, her mind is too impatient, she doesn't know how to endure, and she is eager for quick success. If she puts it on other people with a little brain, it is impossible for her to plot.

But Mrs. Lu is her aunt, so she has a blood relationship, so she naturally stands by her side.

As for Lu Chong, is he selectively blind?

Ye Junling's gaze flicked across his face, and he didn't feel the need to pay attention to him anymore. Even if Ye Junling and Gu Yansu didn't know each other, he didn't understand why Gu Yan fell in love with such a stupid man. his.

"Yiyi." Lu Chong also bowed his head, "Tell the truth, don't worry, you are a victim, and no one will blame you."

Bai Yiyi bit her lip, tears flowed before she spoke.

Lines of tears rolled down her cheeks, she nodded tremblingly, her voice trembling: "Yes, I greet my sister... my sister..."

"In this case, the princess probably doesn't need to ask any more questions." Nan Si didn't say anything more. She raised her eyes to look at Lu Hai, who was standing beside him, and said in a calm tone, "Since my grandmother ascended the throne, Although the status of women has been greatly improved, some dogmas and customs have not been erased, especially the housework between husband and wife, only some changes have been made... I have a few questions now, please answer them for me, Mr. Lu One time, I wonder if it is possible?"

Lu Hai bowed his head: "Excuse me, princess."

"The Zhou etiquette stipulates that the husband has the right to divorce his wife if the wife commits a violation of the seven rules." Nan Si's tone was light, "I don't know what this 'seven rules' refers to?"

Lu Hai replied: "Disobedience to parents, childlessness, adultery, sickness, talkativeness, and theft."

"During my mother's reign, out of respect for women, I changed the rule of divorce to reconciliation. That is to say, if the wife violates the seven rules, the husband has the right to propose reconciliation, right?"

Although reconciliation is only nice in name, most people still treat the woman who is reconciled as an abandoned woman.

"Yes."

"If the husband commits treason, murder, robbery, treachery, or other serious mistakes, the wife also has the right to propose a divorce, right?"

Mrs. Lu's face changed: "Your Highness, Lu Chong has not committed any treachery or treason—"

"I'm asking Master Lu." Nan Si said calmly, "Is what I said just now correct?"

Lu Hai nodded: "Yes."

"Gu Yan, as Lu Chong's wife, has been married for a year and has no children. This is one of the seven crimes, right?"

Lu Hai hesitated for a moment, "Yes."

"Gu Yan is jealous, dissatisfied with Lu Chong's taking a concubine, making things difficult for his little concubine Bai, because he is narrow-minded and has no tolerance, and committed the 'jealousy' in the seven rules, right?"

Lu Hai's heart sank slightly, but he still nodded: "Yes."

"Gu Yan can't please her parents-in-law, and she harbors resentment towards her mother-in-law's idea of ​​taking a concubine. It's because of the 'disobedience to her parents-in-law' in the seven rules, right?"

Lu Hai's complexion changed again and again, and finally began to hesitate: "It's not counted... It's not counted as disobeying my in-laws..."

"The worst thing is that she is so vicious that she can even kill an unborn fetus, so she is really unworthy to be the daughter-in-law of the Lu family." Nan Si said indifferently, "So this princess is here to make the decision today and support Lu Chong to divorce this wife. , but for the sake of Gu Xiang’s loyalty to Her Majesty the Queen, what do you think, Mr. Lu, to change Huu Qi to Reconciliation?”

Lu Chong's expression changed: "I disagree!"

"You don't agree?" Nan Si raised her eyebrows, "A wife with such a bad character will only bring shame to the Lu family, why don't you agree?"

"I--"

"It's up to you not to agree to this matter." Nan Si's tone was strong, "Everything I said just now is the fault of Gu Yan. Mr. Lu can truthfully write it down in the letter of Heli. As for the murder of Mrs. Bai The fetus and his party, this is no longer a simple mistake, but a violation of the law, and according to the regulations, they will be handed over to Dali Temple for interrogation."

Lu Chong's expression changed suddenly, and he couldn't help looking at Gu Yan: "Yan'er!"

"However, to go to Dali Temple, both the plaintiff and the defendant must be present." Nan Si looked at Bai Yiyi, "If Miss Bai's health allows it today, it is better to choose another day; if she is unwell, she can go on another day, you decide. "

Bai Yiyi felt uneasy: "I..."

"Yiyi just fell into the water and had a miscarriage, so it's not appropriate to make troubles now." Mrs. Lu didn't expect things to develop like this, and she was a little confused for a while, "And this is just Lu, the Lu family's business, no... don't make trouble in Dali Temple..."
