Chapter 283: The Breakup between the Grand Wife and the Prince
Chapter 283: The Breakup between the Grand Wife and the Prince
When the prince heard what the first wife said, it was obvious that she was disgusted with him for locking up Lan Xin.
He put the wine glass on the table with a "bang", stood up angrily, stared at the eldest wife, and said coldly:
“Humph, that Gillian, arrogant and domineering, you didn’t even mention a word!
"The eldest wife has become quite accomplished now. Do you dare to criticize me by citing ancient people?"
Unexpectedly, when the First Lady heard that the prince had no intention of giving in, she moved Chen Ajiao out.
She suddenly stood up and left the chair, and said lightly:
"Okay, since the prince doesn't like to see me, then I will go back to my room!"
Everyone watched as the eldest wife was about to leave.
Daiyu hurriedly pulled the prince's sleeve, indicating that since it was such a big occasion, with a victory and a family dinner on the winter solstice, he had to let the eldest wife save face.
She quietly told the prince: "Hurry up and bring the eldest wife back!"
The prince stood up from his seat slowly, with a look of anger that was hard to conceal on his face.
He turned his head abruptly, looking straight in the direction where the eldest wife had left, then opened his mouth and shouted:
"Bijun, if you leave this banquet without caring about anything today, from now on, you will never be able to interfere in any of the affairs of the mansion again!"
However, the eldest wife, who was walking further and further away, did not turn back as everyone expected after hearing the prince's roar.
On the contrary, she continued walking with a firm step, as if she was deaf to the sound coming from behind her.
When they reached a corner, the eldest lady finally stopped, but only for a short while.
She turned her head slightly and said in an extremely cold tone:
"Humph, now this palace has become the world of Lin Daiyu!
In that case, let her take charge of anything!
However, I would like to give you a piece of advice, Your Highness. I hope you two can continue to love each other forever!
Don’t wait until one day in the future to regret it! "
After saying this, the eldest lady turned the corner without looking back and completely disappeared from everyone's sight.
Everyone was in an uproar.
Seeing this, the prince was dissatisfied, but he couldn't show it, so he had to force a smile and return to his seat.
He slowly picked up the wine glass in front of him, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said with a seemingly relaxed smile:
"Since the eldest wife is not feeling well today and doesn't want to attend this family banquet, then we don't have to force her!
Come on, everyone, let us celebrate the Winter Solstice Festival together!"
When everyone heard the prince's words, they came back to their senses as if they had just woken up from a dream.
Jiaorou and the others quickly stood up, raised their glasses respectfully with both hands, and responded in unison: "Thank you, Your Highness!"
Afterwards, everyone toasted the prince together, and the crisp sound of clinking glasses echoed throughout the palace.
Siyu slowly stood up, tremblingly holding up the wine glass, she said with a smile: "Your Highness, I want to offer you a glass of wine. You are fighting in the northern border, and I hope you are not too tired!"
The prince stood up quickly and said with a smile, "You are in such a weak condition, be careful of this cold weather!"
After saying that, he picked up the wine glass and drank it all with Siyu.
However, despite the seemingly harmonious atmosphere and constant laughter, everyone present had their own concerns.
It was a nice winter solstice family dinner, a celebration of the prince's return, but the eldest wife of the family was angry and did not attend, and she also locked up a concubine. The rest of the people could not help but feel sad for the victim and sympathize with the victim.
After a family dinner, everyone just hurriedly drank a few glasses of wine and hastily ended this dinner that was supposed to be very lively.
After the banquet, the prince sent Daiyu back to her room.
He turned around and went to the first lady's room.
The eldest wife was standing in front of the desk at this moment, practicing calligraphy with full concentration.
However, unlike usual, her charming face was now shrouded in resentment.
I saw her holding the brush tightly in her hand, and as the tip of the brush danced, the word "忍" appeared on the paper one by one.
These handwritings are not as graceful as before, but are full of power and determination.
The eldest lady wrote faster and harder, and soon the desk was piled with papers covered with the word "忍" (forbearance), and the ground was also littered with papers.
It was like a sudden snowstorm, submerging the originally neat and quiet room in a blank sheet of paper.
Cai Lian, who was standing aside, looked at the scene and felt sad.
She hurried forward and grabbed the eldest lady's hand, trying to stop her from continuing such crazy behavior.
At the same time, Cai Lian quickly snatched the brush from the first lady's hand and held it tightly in her own hand.
"Fujin, you can't treat yourself like this!"
Cailian said anxiously, with deep concern in her eyes.
"If you have any grievances, please tell me. Don't get yourself sick from anger!"
"Humph, what grievances can I have now?
Who would take me, Dafu, seriously? "
After the first wife finished speaking, she snatched the brush again and continued to write the word "忍" (forbearance) quickly!
At this time, the prince came over.
He pushed the door open with force, and instantly the word "忍" (forbearance) all over the floor rushed towards him. He immediately saw the eldest wife standing in front of the table, writing.
Cai Lian hurried over and whispered to the prince:
"My Lord, please go and persuade our wife!"
The prince waved at her, signaling her to close the door and leave.
And he quietly came to the side of the eldest wife.
The eldest wife knew that the prince had come in, but she didn't even raise her head and continued writing.
The prince gently picked up a piece of paper with the word "忍" on it and after a long pause, he slowly said, "Bijun, regardless of age, she will be your equal wife, is that ok?"
The eldest wife never expected that the prince would go straight to the point and asked her to be his equal wife with that woman.
She threw down the brush in her hand, and immediately the white paper was covered with ink.
The eldest wife cried and asked:
"My Lord, who should I be your co-wife?
May I ask Your Majesty, other things can be divided, but how do I divide my husband?"
“Bijun, we have been husband and wife for so many years!
I think I have spoiled you enough, you are already a prince or princess.
She is just a wife! You have two sons!
Just promise me, I will go to the palace to talk to my brother some other day!"
When the eldest wife heard this, her legs went weak, her vision went dark, and she collapsed to the ground. The scene in her dream really appeared before her eyes!
She never thought that there would be a day when she, Tong Jia Bijun, would be disliked by her husband!
She cried and shouted: "We are a married couple. If you say you don't love me, then you don't love me. Let me ask you..."
After saying this, the eldest wife suddenly stood up and walked to the prince, pulling his clothes and asking loudly:
"What did I do wrong that you treat me like this?
Am I not doing well enough?
I gave birth to two sons for you, so you never have to worry about the affairs of the mansion!
In terms of family background, my Tongguo Mansion is no worse than Lin Daiyu's!"
The prince pushed her hand away calmly and said for a long time:
“She is the one and only Lin Daiyu, I just love her and want to give her the same status as you!
Princess Rong was bestowed by the emperor, I can’t give it to her!
But you two can be co-wives!"
When the eldest wife heard this, she stood there in a daze, her eyes empty and lifeless, as if she had lost her soul.
After a long while, she slowly squatted down, stretched out her trembling hands, and picked up the papers scattered on the ground that were covered with the word "忍" (forbearance).
Afterwards, the eldest wife stood up with difficulty, holding the stack of paper with the word "忍" tightly in her hand, as if she was holding her last dignity and hope.
She walked silently to the corner of the room, found a brazier, bent down with difficulty, and gently placed the papers with the word "忍" in it.
After doing all this, the eldest wife raised her head and looked straight at the prince who was standing not far away.
The prince had a cold expression on his face at this time, and ignored the actions of the first wife.
The eldest wife did not care about his reaction. She just took a deep breath, took out a box of matches from her bosom, and gently lit one.
As the flames rose, the eldest lady threw it into the brazier without hesitation.
In an instant, a raging fire broke out, and the papers with the word "忍" on them were instantly swallowed by the flames, turning into pieces of black paper ashes that flew and swirled in the air.
The fire grew more and more intense, and the whole room was illuminated red by the flames.
The flying paper ashes danced wildly, as if trying to cover up the only trace of kindness left in the heart of the eldest lady.
