Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 391 Abandoned Wife

The bright spring in May, with willows blowing on the embankments and orioles singing and swallows dancing, is the most beautiful time in Beijing. It also coincides with General Zhou Yi's triumphant return to Beijing from the battle against the Huns, which adds excitement and joy to this spring day.

Zhou Jiangning was worried that things at home would distract her father who was away at war, so she only told Zhou Yi in her family letter about Zhao Yuan'er's dirty deeds to Zhou Huaien after she learned that her father had repelled the Huns and returned triumphantly.

After Zhou Yi received a letter from home on his way back to the capital, he ordered his adjutant to lead the army to **** him back. He only took a group of personal guards and rushed home day and night.

When Zhou Jiangning met his father, he told Zhou Yi everything that happened, and brought the personal and material evidence to his father.

Zhou Yi only had a son like Zhou Huaien. He knew that Zhao Yuan'er was a person with evil intentions, so he had no choice but to place his son in his hometown. He was worried that his son would be persecuted by the Zhao family, but he never expected that Zhao Yuan'er would take advantage of him while he was away from home. He took his son back to the capital and used such vicious tactics to mutilate his flesh and blood.

Zhou Yi was furious after hearing what his eldest daughter said. He immediately wrote a letter of divorce, and then had Zhao Yuan'er escorted over and forced her to sign a bond.

Zhao Yuan'er has been detained by Zhou Jiangning for several months. She has long lost the pampered lady she used to be. She is covered in filth and her hair is disheveled, like a mad woman. When she saw Zhou Yi, she complained, cried and made trouble, and refused to sign the divorce letter.

Zhao Yuan'er has never been virtuous, and Zhou Yi has no feelings for her at all, but he cannot disobey the emperor's order, and for the sake of Prince Jian's palace, he reluctantly maintains a nominal relationship with her as husband and wife. Now Zhao has touched Zhou Yi's bottom line, Zhou Yi would naturally not be merciful to her.

Seeing that she kept crying, Zhou Yi waved his hand impatiently at the attendants, stepped forward, held Zhao Yuan'er's hand and pressed it.

Zhou Yi didn't even want to look at this crazy woman. After she signed the bond, he told his attendants: "Send this divorce letter to Prince Jian's palace, and **** this abandoned woman to the family temple for strict guarding."

When Zhao Yuan'er heard this, she yelled and cursed Zhou Yi like a mad dog. She rolled on the ground crying and refused to submit to anything.

The attendants had no choice but to gag her, and were about to tie her up and **** her away when the doorman said back and forth: "Prince Jian and Princess Jian have come to the house to ask for an audience."

Zhou Yi ordered the attendant: "Since her parents are here, let them see each other again." After receiving the order, the attendant let go of Zhao Yuan'er.

After a while, Princess Jian and his wife entered the main hall. When they saw their daughter like this, Princess Jian didn't care about her dignity. She threw herself at her daughter and started crying. Prince Jian frowned and asked Zhou Yi: "I am The king’s daughter is a princess after all, even if she makes a mistake by marrying a general, you shouldn’t treat her like this.”

Zhou Yi snorted coldly: "Since she married into my general's palace according to the decree, if she makes a mistake, she will be dealt with according to my family rules."

With that said, he pushed all the evidence of Zhao Yuan'er's crime of murdering Zhou Yi's heirs to Prince Jian: "What good deeds your precious daughter has done, please see for yourself."

Since Zhao Yuan'er committed the crime, Prince Jian and his wife have come to the house many times to find her. How could they not understand the crime their daughter committed.

Prince Jian reviewed the evidence and said to Zhou Yi in a gentle tone: "General Zhou, as the saying goes, 'One day for a couple, a hundred days of kindness.' Yuan'er has been married to you for so many years, taking care of your wife and housework." , please forgive her this time because she has no merit but hard work." Zhou Yi said coldly: "Your Majesty said it lightly, Mrs. Zhao is so ruthless that she even tried to poison my general while I was away on an expedition. My only son is such a vicious woman, how can I forgive her, Your Majesty?"

Prince Jian also knew that his daughter had gone too far. He sighed slightly, not knowing how to plead with Zhou Yi again.

Princess Jian has also become governor. It is impossible for Zhou Yi to live with his daughter anymore. If the married daughter is divorced and returned to her natal family, even if she is a daughter of the royal family, it is impossible to remarry. Princess Jian looked at her daughter being tortured into a state of disfigurement. She did not ask her daughter to be a high-ranking lady now. She only wanted her to be able to have enough food and clothing for the rest of her life. If she was abandoned by Zhou Yixiu and sent to the Zhou family temple , How can those people treat a concubine? The rest of her daughter's life may be miserable.

For the future of her daughter, Princess Jianjun begged Zhou Yi: "Although Yuan'er was confused for a moment, she did not hurt the master in the end. Since the general insisted on abandoning Yuan'er, I have nothing else to ask for. Please allow the general to allow the prince and concubine to take her back to the mansion."

 “This can’t be done!”

Although Zhou Yi hated Zhao Yuan'er, he was not a cold-blooded person. When he saw Princess Jian's motherly attitude, he lowered his attitude and asked for help. Zhou Yi was about to relax when he saw Zhou Jiangning walking into the main hall bravely and coldly rejected Jian Jun. The princess's request.

Zhao Yuan'er had just settled down after being caressed by her mother, and when she saw Zhou Jiangning coming to stir things up again, she was so angry that she immediately jumped up from the ground, pointed at Zhou Jiangning's nose and cursed: "You evil star, you keep getting in trouble with me again and again, in the end What's the point? You're already a married woman, but you just come to interfere with your mother's family's affairs. How can you speak here? "

Zhou Jiangning raised his head high and said to Zhao Yuan'er: "I am the eldest daughter of the general. Naturally, I have the right to speak in this general's palace. How can you, a concubine, have the nerve to be cruel to me?"

With that said, Zhou Jiangning waved his hand to the servants on the left and right, and ordered: "Bring this abandoned woman to my family temple and keep her under safe custody."

The servants on the left and right responded and were about to come forward to pull Zhao Yuan'er. Zhao Yuan'er was so frightened that she hid tightly behind her mother and cried: "Father, Queen, Mother and Concubine, please help me!"

Princess Jian had long heard of Zhou Jiangning's reputation as a shrewd man. When she saw that the other party was deliberately trying not to make life easier for her daughter, she was so angry that she said sternly: "Yuan'er is the princess, and she has a distinguished status. How can you tolerate her?"

Zhou Jiangning replied coldly: "Even if she is the King of Heaven, since she has married into my Zhou family, since she has committed a crime, she must be dealt with according to the rules of the Zhou family."

When Prince Jian saw Zhou Jiangning's cold attitude, he softened his tone and said to her meaningfully: "Miss Zhou, as the saying goes, 'It is convenient for others and it is convenient for yourself.' I heard that my son-in-law has been guarding the capital for a long time. In the year, I am about to be transferred to the capital. Since the eldest girl is already married, she naturally has to plan more for her husband's family, why bother to get involved in her mother's family's affairs."

As a relative of the royal family, King Jian was in charge of the appointment and dismissal of personnel. His words were a naked threat to Zhou Jiangning to compromise.
