IACF [QT] Chapter 62.4

“Well said.” Mrs. Liu agreed but then changed her tone.

“But as long as the Sister-in-law is a wife of the Shen family, there is no reason for her not to go home, unless she divorces Second Master Gu. But, Master, think about it, does our family still have the confidence to ask for a divorce?”

“Master Gu has had a good career in the past two years and has a bright future. What do we have?”

“If he writes a divorce letter to Sister-in-law on the grounds that she has no children for many years, what else can the Master do except put him in a sack and beat him up?”

Master Su was speechless after hearing these words. He leaned back in his chair blankly.

Su Yi still went back in the sedan chair. The swaying feeling reminded her of the cavalry team she met on the road when she came here earlier. She seemed to have heard Qing Lian say that the leader was King Rui.

So, the demon wolf becomes the prince this time? He is quite impressive.

“Mao Tuan, tell me about the situation of King Rui.”

Mao Tuan had expected her to ask. Although he was reluctant to admit it, he had to say that the great demon’s intuition about the big furry guy was quite accurate. The other party was indeed the current King Rui.

The Emperor’s current sons have not been crowned as kings, and King Rui is the posthumous son of the Emperor’s younger brother.

When the late King Rui died on the battlefield, the late Princess Rui heard the bad news and had a miscarriage. She went into labor before the full term and did not give birth after a day and a night.

Seeing that she was about to die, a secret order came from the palace, asking people to cut open the princess’s stomach, leaving a bloodline of the late King Rui.

After the child was born, the Emperor treated him as his own son and brought him up to his side. He crowned him as a king when he was just one year old.

A sorcerer once said that King Rui had brought his father and mother down before he was born, that he was the reincarnation of an evil star and had few relatives, and that he would become a killer when he grew up. He would not have a good end because of the heavy killing he had done.

The Emperor did not believe it at all. The late King Rui was killed by the enemy country, and he ordered someone to cut open the princess’ belly. How could the other party say that a young child was unlucky for both his parents?

But the sorcerer was right about one thing. King Rui showed his extraordinary ability when he was young.

When he was fourteen or fifteen, he could fight for the dynasty in the north and south and kill all invaders.

When he was eighteen, he flattened the small country that attacked his father.

When he was in his twenties, his cavalry had already traveled through every inch of the territory.

Now he has become the most powerful killer and the sharpest knife in the Emperor’s hand.

And another statement made by the sorcerer at that time actually came true.

Not long ago, King Rui went south to suppress bandits. He inhaled miasma in the deep mountains and dense forests and was bitten by poisonous insects. His whole body was festering and there was no medicine to cure him.

If the demon wolf had not possessed him, it would have been the saying that he would not have a good end.

After listening, Su Yi nodded slowly.

Speaking of which, although the demon wolf had lost his memory, he was still very selective. So many people died every day, but he was able to pick those with good family backgrounds.

After returning to the Shen Mansion, Su Yi still did not get off the sedan chair and went straight into her own courtyard.

Qing Xing was looking after the yard alone and had long been impatient.

When she saw them coming back, she immediately came up to them and asked them all kinds of questions.

One moment she asked if those people were shocked when they saw the young lady, and the next she asked if the young lady’s clothes were the most beautiful. She kept asking questions non-stop.

After Qing Lian patiently told her everything, she was satisfied.

“Did anything happen to you at home?” Qing Lian asked.

Qing Xing helped Su Yi take off her cloak, curled her lips, and said, “People from the first and third branches came to ask where the Young Lady had gone. Only the people from the second branch didn’t come.”

Qing Lian took the tea brought by the maid and handed it to Su Yi: “How do you answer?”

“Tell the truth. The Young Lady has returned to her parents’ home. However, although no one from the second branch came to ask, I saw a few people standing stealthily in the small garden. They must be those concubines’ people.”

Qing Lian glanced at Su Yi and saw that she was just drinking tea and didn’t care about these things, so she said to Qing Xing: “Don’t bother with those people. After all, they are the concubines of the Second Master, which means they are half the master. When we meet them, we have to be respectful in our words and not let people find fault with the Young Lady.”
