Yuan Zheng was seventeen years old, and he entered the Hanlin Academy to do the six products of the Hanlin Academy, he was only eight high, handsome, sleek and sociable, although the official position was not big, but soon entered the emperor's field of vision, and became a close minister of the Son of Heaven.

Just when he was proud, the old emperor issued a holy decree, which not only made him marry a woman he didn't like, but also almost disrupted all his life plans.

After marrying Gu Chao, he received another holy decree, and he was appointed as the prefect of Pingliang Mansion in Shaanxi Province at the age of nineteen. On the surface, he was both promoted and rich, not only was he directly promoted from the sixth rank to the fourth grade, but also from the sesame official in the Qingshui Yamen to the party with real power.

But in reality, only God knows how disappointed he was, and his relatives, friends, and colleagues thought that it would not be long before the emperor would forget about him, and then he would be out of the cabinet for the rest of his life.

Time is a good medicine to soothe the pain of a qiē, two years later, has fully adapted to the great northwest officialdom and the signs of life, the good news that his wife is pregnant with Liujia seems to have made him discover another meaning of life, but a storm from the capital swept away his budding happiness.

His Royal Highness Yu Wenhao, the crown prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, who is known as the most beautiful man in the capital, has been deposed!

Although Yuan Zheng had expected this result, it was not until the crown prince was really deposed that he understood, and the old emperor's real intention in releasing him out of Beijing was to prevent him from being involved in this dispute.

Yuan Zheng, who is now twenty-seven years old, doesn't want to know what she thinks in her heart, but on the surface, it seems that she can be indifferent, and she was still too young back then, and the fact that she was about to become a mother made her gradually recognize the reality, but the corner of her heart that belonged to Yu Wenhao was still ready to move.

If Yu Wenhao is not deposed, Gu Chao may let go of his former feelings as time goes by, and be a good mother and wife, however......

Just when the couple was immersed in the joy of being parents, the news that a Yu Wenhao was exiled to Mobei and would pass by Pingliang Mansion reached Gu Chao's ears.

Whenever he recalled this past, Gu Chao's voice back then, which seemed to be an accusation and a vent, would make Yuan Zheng's body cold and tingle.

-- Brother Hao is so miserable, you still don't let him go! Get out of the way, I'm going to find Brother Hao.

- I don't want to conceive a child, it's all because I have your child, I can't ride a horse and can't drive, Brother Hao, I will never see him again in my life, I don't want your child......

Yuan Zheng was injured a lot at that time, and because Gu Chao was pregnant and was in the worst stage of morning sickness, he could only hold back the anger in his heart and try to appease his wife.

Gu Chao was stupid to that Cheng dù back then, saying that he couldn't ride a horse, but in fact, he secretly rode the best horse in the stable of Yuanfu and chased north while people were unprepared, but because she was too nervous and weak, she fell directly from the horse and fainted outside the north gate of Pingliang Mansion, if it weren't for meeting a kind-hearted and skilled Langzhong, Yuan Xiang would not have had a chance to come to this world at all.

I don't know if it's because of this, the fetus was saved, but Yuan Xiang's body couldn't be adjusted, and he was always weak.

Over the years, Gu Chao has given Yuan Xiang the most meticulous care, but in Yuan Zheng's eyes, this is far from real maternal love, and it should be called atonement! The little daughter swallowed all kinds of bitter and unpalatable decoctions, making the young and vigorous Yuan Zheng determined never to have another child with Gu Chao.

As he grew older, his anger dissipated a lot. In recent years, he did not support or explicitly refuse Gu Chao's move to ask for a son, as soon as he was free, he would be born, and he would be well educated when he was born, and he would not force it. As for taking a concubine and having children, I'm really sorry, he doesn't want to reduce himself to a tool for passing on the lineage.

However, after being transferred to Jiangnan, he took his mother to his side, in order to let her no longer be troubled by the various intrigues of the Hou Mansion and live the most comfortable life. He thought that this was the best filial piety, but he ignored the most simple wish of his mother, who was over half a hundred years old, and listened to his mother's questioning at this moment, Yuan Zheng opened his mouth but couldn't say a word.

The old lady turned her head to look at her daughter-in-law, and her tone was not much better: "Ah Chao, what Zheng'er told me at the beginning was that after hearing the news of the dethronement of the prince, you almost lost Xiang'er, although I am a little dissatisfied, I can understand your pain, after all, people can be ruthless, but now it seems that it is not like that at all, you said yourself, what happened back then!"

Gu Chao knew that he couldn't hide it, but he didn't plan to hide it anymore. She knelt in front of the old lady with a puff, and told her what she thought and did back then, and then the couple were almost strangers, if it weren't for Xiang'er's estimation that they had already parted ways.

The old lady laughed angrily, "What a good eldest daughter of the first assistant of the Great Zhou Cabinet, and a good former quasi-crown princess, the old body can be regarded as an insight today! What point is my sign not worthy of you, and you want to abuse him like this?"

Gu Chao knelt on the ground, not daring to say anything more disrespectful. Whether it's for her daughter or for herself, it's impossible for her to leave this home, don't say just a few unpleasant words today, even if her mother-in-law does it, she has to endure it.

Seeing that she was silent, the old lady threw all her anger on Yuan Zheng, who was kneeling beside her: "I worked hard to raise you, just to let you ...... Ahem...... she coughed violently in anger, and Yuan Zheng hurriedly knelt over to relieve his mother.

The old lady waved away Yuan Zheng's hand, gasped for a moment and did not continue to be angry, she stroked the folds on her dress and stood up, and said to the two couples kneeling on the ground: "I am old, and I have no ability to manage you, so let Cui Gu pack my luggage for me and go back to the village." In the future, you don't care if your grandchildren are good, or if you are out, when I will hold my grandson, I will come back to see, I like to live a quiet life, don't bother. ”

After saying these words, the old lady walked out of the main hall with her sleeves brushed up, leaving the husband and wife looking at each other, which is called a high level of anger, and those splashing and rolling crying and scolding cannot be compared at all.

The old lady was actually so angry that she didn't have the heart to get angry, she always knew that Gu Chao was not the same, but she didn't expect that in fact she was much worse than she imagined, and her son was also pitiful and hateful, and she didn't know where those weird ideas came from.

Mother Wu, who was guarding outside the house, saw her listless appearance and hurriedly came up and carried her back to the inner room.

The old lady reclined on the couch, and after explaining the matter of packing her luggage, she had a trace of clarity in her heart, and wondered: "Aunt Cui, although the Gu family also has some eyes and ears in the house, it definitely does not include the people around me, but why is she so well-informed recently, and she knows almost everything about my actions?"

Of course, Mother Wu knew the reason for this, she originally thought that although the second girl was suspected of making a small report, it was also for the sake of this family, and she never thought of mentioning it to the old lady, but the master had already asked, so she naturally couldn't hide it anymore and confessed Doudou.

If the old lady only thinks that Doudou is clever on weekdays, but at this time, her anger rushes straight to the door of her head, where can she tolerate the "betrayal" of the child she treats sincerely!

"Go and bring her here. The old lady commanded simply, with an indescribable disappointment in her voice.
