Steal my marriage? Turn around and marry the tyrant to take the throne

Chapter 497 Shen Nanqiao wants to divorce (for [Book Friend Kitten])

As Concubine Liu raised the third prince, the situation in the harem also changed greatly.

The Great Zhou cannot be without a real mistress.

In terms of seniority, family background, and status, Concubine Liu is the most qualified person!

In the past, she had no prince and everything was just empty talk, but now, the situation is different.

Handan and Fuqiu have always known that Shen Zhinian's goal in entering the palace is to become the queen, so they can't help but feel a little worried...

Fuqiu said calmly, "Your Highness, although you have four princes, you are still inferior to the Imperial Concubine in other aspects."

"The Imperial Concubine has already raised the Third Prince. I'm afraid her next step will be to plot for the position of Imperial Concubine."

"Once any concubine becomes an imperial concubine equal to the vice empress, she will be the designated empress. We must make plans early!"

A cold light flashed in Shen Zhinian's eyes: "Then let's lend a helping hand to the Imperial Concubine!"

"Tell father to secretly arrange for the court officials to write a letter to His Majesty requesting that the Imperial Concubine be made the Imperial Concubine!"

Shen Maoxue had been the Minister of Personnel for a long time, so this was not a difficult task for him.

Handan asked in surprise: "Your Majesty, didn't you say that your alliance with the Imperial Concubine was already in name only? Why are you still helping her?"

Fuqiu saw through it better than she did: "Your Majesty, this is not helping the Imperial Concubine, but removing the fuel from the fire."

"You think... the Imperial Concubine had just raised the Third Prince, and the court officials petitioned to make her the Imperial Concubine. How could His Majesty be happy with such an ambitious plan?"

Handan suddenly realized: "So that's it..."

Shen Zhinian had already walked to the desk and picked up a pen to write a secret letter.

She did this without any psychological burden.

Originally, from the beginning, Concubine Liu had formed an alliance with her just to use her to deal with the concubines of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. Now that their common enemy was destroyed, their alliance would naturally disintegrate.

Moreover, if she had not been careful enough to let Nanny Lin deliver the baby, the midwife hired by Empress Dowager Liu might have killed her.

Shen Zhinian also noticed that since she gave birth to the fourth prince, her position in the harem has become higher and higher. Concubine Liu also began to fear her and wanted to kill her. However, due to various considerations, she did not take action against her for the time being.

If she didn't take the initiative, would she wait for the other party to take the lead, win the position of Imperial Concubine, and then get rid of her?

Shen Zhinian has never been the type to passively take a beating.

Handan said distressedly: "Tomorrow is the ceremony for Her Majesty to confer titles on the four concubines, and Her Majesty still has to worry about these things..."

Shen Zhinian shook her head and laughed: "There is no such thing as gaining something without working hard in this world. Don't worry about these things. Is it my turn to be the head of the four concubines?"

After Fuqiu sent the secret letter, she also received a message from the person who was following her at the Lu family. Her expression was indescribable...

Shen Zhinian sat on the couch and gently put down the teacup in his hand: "Why do you look like that?"

Fuqiu shook her head and said, "My lady, my son-in-law passed the imperial examination the first time he took part in the Autumn Examination and even achieved a good result of 39th place. When the master heard about this, he was very happy and took out a lot of money to let the Lu family hold a banquet to celebrate."

"On the day of the banquet, the master and the mistress went to the Lu family. This was supposed to be a happy event, but... the eldest lady had been spreading the word that the son-in-law would be the top scorer in the imperial examination, but now he only got this rank, and he was ridiculed by many people."

"The master was so embarrassed that he scolded the young lady before he even had time to sit down, and then he stormed out!"

"The Shen family was already a first-rank official family, but the imperial edict was posthumously conferred on Madam Meng. Madam Meng has always been unhappy. She originally thought that on that day, she would be able to gain respect through her son-in-law. She never thought... that this would be the result in the end."

"It is said that when the lady returned, her face was almost green with anger, and she could hardly walk steadily..."

"The Lu family was already unhappy, and the banquet turned out like this, so they put all the blame on the eldest daughter. They said that if she hadn't been talking nonsense outside, it would have been great news for the son-in-law to pass the imperial examination. How could such a shameful thing happen?"

"In the end... the celebration banquet was turned upside down by the Lu family..."

Handan frowned upon hearing this: "Although the eldest lady's behavior... but no matter what, in the past year or so, she has used her dowry to support the Lu family and worked hard for them. This is an indisputable fact!"

"How can they deny all the efforts made by the young lady in the past just because she made some mistakes? Isn't this ungrateful?"

Shen Zhinian was well aware of the ugly faces of the Lu family. No matter whether it was Lu's mother, Lu Jianglin, or Lu Jiangyue, they were all people who bullied the weak and feared the strong, fawned on the powerful, and forgot their principles when they saw profit.

Shen Zhinian didn't find it strange that they did this, but was curious about Shen Nanqiao's reaction: "What about the eldest sister?"

Since his rebirth, Shen Nanqiao thought he had snatched the best marriage, but in the end his hopes were dashed. What will happen?

Fuqiu's tone was somewhat puzzled: "My lady, I heard from the people who were following her that the eldest lady was shouting that her son-in-law was cheating on her in marriage..."

"She said that if she hadn't seen that he could win the first place in the imperial examination, and then win the third place in the imperial examination, and be made a marquis and a prime minister, she would not have married him. But in the end, she found out that he wasn't that talented at all and was just lying to her."

"The eldest lady said that she wanted to divorce her uncle..."

Not only Handan, but Xiao Mingzi and the others were also stunned!

"Throughout history, how many scholars have been able to win three prizes in a row?"

If Mrs. Lu wasn't the eldest sister of the Empress, they would have thought that she had damaged her brain by washing clothes with cold water in such a cold weather...

Fuqiu continued, "That's right."

"Everyone is saying that the young lady might be suffering from hysteria."

"My son-in-law is a grown man, and of course he can't stand it when her steps on his dignity and tramples on him. He feels very wronged."

"My son-in-law said that he never promised the young lady that she would win the first place or the third place in the imperial examinations. It was all just her imagination. In the end, why did she blame him?"

In this matter, everyone stood on Lu Jianglin's side.

Only Shen Zhinian knows the inside story.

She was not worried that Shen Nanqiao would tell others about her rebirth. If she did, people would probably think she was hysterical.

Handan blinked and asked curiously, "And then?"

"The eldest lady wants a divorce. What does the master say?"

Seeing that not only Handan but everyone else's eyes were also shining, Fuqiu did not keep them waiting: "Of course the master will not allow it. Not only will he not allow it, he will also be furious!"

"My son-in-law is so young, but he has already passed the imperial examination. He has a bright future. It is hard to find such a good son-in-law even with a lantern."

"The eldest lady actually wanted to divorce because he was not the top scholar. Isn't this ridiculous?"
