Chapter 467 Then take a concubine!
"Because Shen Wantang herself doesn't want to divorce for the time being. She doesn't want to. It's useless for Xiao Qingyuan to be anxious alone, unless he divorces his wife."
"What if he divorces his wife?"
"Dafeng Law stipulates that a woman can only be divorced if she has committed the seven crimes. Shen Wantang has not committed any crime, so Xiao Qingyuan cannot divorce her."
"So, Atang will be fine for the time being?"
"Ah."
"She won't marry Cousin Pei either?"
"will not."
"She won't marry you either?"
Gu Qianhan was silent. If he could survive, would she be willing to marry him?
A strong sense of longing suddenly surged in his heart, and he even had an urge to ask Shen Wantang to divorce Xiao Qingyuan now and marry him again.
However, reason eventually overcame impulse. He was not qualified to marry her now. If he wanted to marry her, he had to at least wait until he broke into the palace, fought his way out of the siege, and changed the world.
A surge of strength flowed into his limbs and bones, and he was slightly refreshed. For the first time, he relaxed in front of his sister: "Now is not the right time. When the time is right, she will marry me."
"So when is the right time?"
"The secret cannot be leaked."
Gu Qianning didn't get an answer and felt a little unhappy, but her second brother at least promised to marry Atang in the future.
She was slightly relieved. It was better for Atang to marry the second brother than to follow Xiao Qingyuan! She, the sister-in-law, was also better than Xiao Qingxi!
"Then I'm going to go back and write a letter to Atang!"
"What are you going to write?"
"I want to tell Atang that she doesn't have to be afraid. Even without Xiao Qingyuan, she still has you. She is very popular. Even if she gets divorced in the future, she will not be homeless. The Gu family will be her home in the future!"
Gu Qianhan showed a bitter smile on his cold face: "I'm afraid your words won't comfort her."
Gu Qianning felt strange: "Why? Doesn't she like our family?"
Of course it’s not because he doesn’t like her, but because Shen Wantang knows that the Gu family is also in danger and may be wiped out by the emperor at any time!
Gu Qianning didn't wait for his answer, but she didn't care. She turned around and went back to write a letter.
After finishing writing, she asked someone to go to Prince Ning's Mansion to deliver the letter to Shen Wantang overnight.
Prince Ning's Mansion.
Wutong Court.
Shen Wantang had originally planned to take a rest, but Xiao Qingyuan suddenly came, so she had to force herself to listen to him.
"Shen Wantang, I've been to the Gu family. I got Madam Gu's promise that as long as we get a divorce, you can immediately marry the young prince Pei Lin'an!"
Shen Wantang raised her head and glanced at him: "Didn't I tell you? I won't marry anyone except the prince, and I won't go anywhere except Prince Ning's mansion. Why did you go to the Gu family and tell Madam Gu all this? How do you want Madam Gu to see me?"
Xiao Qingyuan said anxiously: "Don't worry, Madam Gu likes you very much, and she especially wants you to marry Pei Linan!"
Shen Wantang's tone was slightly cold: "So? She wants me to get married, and you want me to get married too, but no one of you asked me what I thought, right? In your eyes, I am not a person, but an object that can be manipulated at will, and thrown wherever you want."
Xiao Qingyuan frowned, "Shen Wantang, what you said is too heartless, isn't it? How could I treat you as an object? I have been running around outside today, who am I doing this for? Isn't it for you? I feel sorry for you and miss you, so I'm busy looking for a good home for you. If it was someone else, I would just divorce him directly, why bother with all this!"
"Your Highness, of course you're not running around for me. You're running around for Liu Nanshi. Do you think I'm stupid? Can't you even see that?"
Shen Wantang looked at him quietly: "Divorcing a wife is not something you can do just like that. Ordinary families still have to gather the elders and list the wife's crimes. Only after confirming that they are true can they report to the government and get the divorce documents. What about the noble family like the Ning Palace?"
"If you can divorce your wife with just one word, then wouldn't the wedding ceremonies from ancient times to the present be child's play?"
"Sir, the laws of our Dafeng are not so casual. Women from respectable families are also protected by the law and the government."
Xiao Qingyuan certainly knew that it was not that easy to divorce his wife, otherwise he would not have to run to the Gu family to find Mrs. Gu at night.
In Dafeng, concubines and maids can be driven away at will, but it is different for the wife. The wife is married after three matchmakers and six engagements, and is registered with the government. In the future, she will also be included in the family tree. As long as the wife has not made any mistakes, the law does not allow a man to divorce her.
But the law allows both parties to negotiate a divorce, so he wanted to help Shen Wantang find a new home and make her agree to a divorce.
But unexpectedly, Shen Wantang was still unwilling.
She might... like him too much and couldn't bear to leave him.
Xiao Qingyuan sighed heavily: "Shen Wantang, I feel ashamed of your affection for me. In fact, I am not worthy of your love and admiration."
Shen Wantang: “…”
Where did she say she admired him? Wasn't that a bit too dramatic?
Forget it, it’s better for him to act more, so that she doesn’t have to act. She doesn’t even know where she threw her peppermint ointment, and she can’t cry now.
"If we have a next life, I will definitely treat you well, let you be my prince's consort in peace, and we will have children together."
Shen Wantang held his chin and thought to himself, he is going to say but, right?
"But, I can't be your real wife in this life. I have to be responsible for Nanshi. I have to be her husband so that she can save some face and not be laughed to death by outsiders."
Xiao Qingyuan's tone was pleading: "Shen Wantang, I know you are always the most generous and kind, can you please think about Nan Shi, she really has nowhere to go now, just give her the position of the Crown Prince's Consort, only in this way can she live with dignity!"
Shen Wantang looked at the sincere emotion on his face and listened to his humble and pleading tone. She almost thought that Xiao Qingyuan was such a loving and good man.
How did he do it? Why did he act like he was making promises of love and even wanted to give his heart to a woman whenever he met one?
What had he been doing?
Liu Nanshi was drugged, but he was not. Couldn't he call the imperial physician for her? Why did he make love with her?
Shen Wantang sometimes suspected that Xiao Qingyuan was acting, but sometimes she felt that he was not acting because he seemed to be convinced that he loved Liu Nanshi deeply.
What a master! He acted until he himself believed it, so he also fooled others!
Shen Wantang imitated him and said with deep affection: "Now that the prince has said so much, it would be too inhumane if I don't let go."
Xiao Qingyuan's face lit up with joy: "You agree to divorce?!"
"Why do you want to divorce?"
Xiao Qingyuan's expression froze: "So what do you mean by letting go?"
"Oh, what I mean is, if the prince really likes Liu Nanshi, then he should take her as his concubine!"
