Chapter 539: Breaking off her mother-daughter relationship with Kang Ning
Prince Cheng knew clearly that no matter whether Kang Ning would repent in the future, her life was over.
The dowry that was sent out from Prince Cheng's Palace back then, plus Kang Ning's business operations over the years, these properties that belonged to her could never be returned to Prince Cheng's Palace.
The four children given to Corning were also a way to atone for Corning's sins.
Especially Tang'er...
It was certainly Kang Ning's fault that things turned out like this, but wasn't this the result that Tang'er wanted?
The biological mother first abandoned me and then murdered me. No one can accept this. How can we talk about filial piety?
No one has the right to blame Tang'er for being unfilial.
I just hope Tang'er can accept Kang Ning's property and accept Kang Ning's atonement. I'm afraid...
Tang'er wouldn't want it at all.
Prince Cheng sighed helplessly, turned around and said, "Old lady, let's go back first, don't make our son-in-law feel upset anymore, he feels worse than us."
Prince Cheng's words made Princess Cheng's body go weak. She turned her head reluctantly and looked at the courtyard where only half of the door was left and locked from the outside.
Finally, he was supported by two old women and left tremblingly, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.
"Mother! Don't go!"
"Father, save me!"
"Father! Jiang Mingan will kill me!"
"..."
In the yard, Kang Ning was still shouting heartbreakingly, but no one answered and the gate was not opened.
Outside the newly built Wuweiju, only a group of guards were left standing guard in the distance. They just had to take a look occasionally to make sure no one climbed out.
There are only a few people in the courtyard now. Anyone who sneaks out of the courtyard will soon be discovered by the guards, escorts and even secret guards of the marquis' mansion.
What’s more, there are so many maids, servants and servants everywhere in the mansion?
Who doesn't know about the commotion in the mansion early in the morning, except for the secluded corner of Songhe Hall which seems as quiet as a paradise?
The Marquis' Mansion was taking action but did not actively announce anything to the outside world. However, the title of Princess Kang Ning was stripped because of a clear decree issued by Xiao Beichen. The decree was not sent down to the Marquis' Mansion of Yong'an, but was given to Prince Cheng and his wife to take back.
This matter has been handled coldly, and not many people know about it, but...
How could the affairs of the capital, especially those of the powerful and wealthy, be kept secret forever?
Such a long line of carriages and horses drove out of the Marquis' Mansion early in the morning, but no one would notice it except those who were walking early on the road.
The two young wives of the Yong'an Marquis's family returned to their parents' home on the same day. It only took half a day for many people to know about it.
Prince Cheng and Princess Cheng entered the palace early in the morning and no one would know.
Prince Cheng's Mansion took away so many carriages and boxes from the Marquis Yong'an Mansion, as well as the huge number of carriages, horses, servants, and palace guards...even a blind person could hear the noise.
Many people are discussing that the birthday of the Princess Protector of the Nation has just passed and the Luotian Grand Ceremony is about to begin, so why is there such a big commotion in the Yong'an Marquis Mansion at this critical juncture?
Marquis Yong'an silently escorted Prince Cheng and Princess Cheng to the carriage, and even his eyes were red when he bowed.
Prince Cheng looked over from the car window, sighed, and said, "This is not your fault. It's my fault for not raising a good daughter, which has caused unrest in your Jiang family."
"Tell Tang'er that after the Luotian Grand Ceremony in April, grandparents will hold a banquet to apologize to her, and they won't bother her with mundane matters these days."
"Also, grandparents feel guilty and won't blame her. Tell her not to think too much. Those who do evil should suffer the consequences. If outsiders dare to gossip about her, grandpa will support her."
Prince Cheng's words made Marquis Yong'an's eyes warm and he almost cried.
In fact, he had already irritated Kang Ning by turning his hatred into bad words, but after feeling relieved, he also thought of Tang'er's situation.
Not everyone in this world is clear-minded. There will always be people who make malicious comments in the name of filial piety, claiming to be moral and accusing others wantonly.
This matter was originally Kang Ning's fault, but with Kang Ning's current situation, I'm afraid that some people will think that Tang'er is vengeful and cruel.
Prince Cheng obviously thought of this when he said this, and wanted to support Tang'er.
"Tang'er is a good kid. It was Kang Ning who did the evil from the beginning to the end, and Tang'er never responded."
"Since Tang'er returned home, in addition to showing kindness to us family members, he also prepared a gift for Kang Ning. It was Kang Ning who didn't want it and gave it to Xue'er to humiliate Tang'er."
"Tang'er went to pay respects to Kang Ning on the day he returned home, but Kang Ning refused to see him. He then returned to Prince Cheng's Mansion and ignored Tang'er."
"Tang'er was busy with her master's affairs and working for the emperor. She lived in Qingfeng Palace. The mother and daughter hardly met each other. They only met three times."
"The first time was in Jinhua Hall, because of the pair of red jade bracelets."
"The second time was the family banquet before the New Year. The Third Prince and his group of people came to the mansion. Kang Ning was seriously ill and came to insult Tang'er. Tang'er sold two pills to her for 200,000 taels."
"The third time was on the eighth day of the first lunar month at the palace. I heard that the Kang Ning sisters were arguing at the time, and Tang'er went to pay respects to her grandmother."
"The last time Tang'er came back for a family dinner was during the Lantern Festival. Kang Ning claimed to be ill and could not go out. That night, Tang'er returned to Qingfeng Palace and then went out of the capital to buy grain for the northern border. He never returned to the Marquis' Mansion again."
Marquis Yong'an knew that Prince Cheng wanted to protect Tang'er from being hurt by the gossip outside.
But Princess Cheng probably loves Tang'er as much as she loves her own daughter who has been imprisoned and waiting to die. It is hard to say whether she can treat each other equally in the future.
Therefore, he sorted out the number of times Tang'er had met Kang Ning and the circumstances of their meetings since Tang'er returned to Beijing to recognize his relatives.
He wanted to let Prince Cheng and Princess Cheng know how ruthless Kang Ning was throughout this whole process! How cruel he was to Tang Er!
Prince Cheng was silent for a while. Without his order, the carriage would not set off immediately.
Princess Cheng wiped away her tears and looked at him in confusion.
Prince Cheng made up his mind and looked out the window again. Marquis Yong'an was still standing there.
"Ming'an, time is running out. When I get back, I will immediately submit a memorial to the emperor to seek justice for Tang'er and sever her relationship with Kang Ning."
"The emperor will go to Yunshang Temple tomorrow. I will go to the palace in person this afternoon to deal with this matter. You should stay at home to prevent the emperor from calling you."
Prince Cheng thought of how Marquis Yong'an asked the clan leaders and elders to be witnesses and personally wrote a letter of severance to sever the relationship between Tang'er and his grandmother.
Since Kang Ning was so ruthless, he, as a father, helped her sever the mother-daughter relationship with Tang'er.
The relationship was severed, and he had to bear all the blame. Those who wanted to criticize Tang'er for being unfilial were no longer justified.
"Yes." Marquis Yong'an bowed with a respectful attitude.
He had this intention a long time ago, but he did not dare to act on his own because of the face of Prince Cheng's Mansion.
The carriage of Prince Cheng's mansion finally moved, and Marquis Yong'an watched Prince Cheng leave.
The voice of Prince Chengyang came from behind: "Hurry up and deal with the affairs in the mansion. Don't let it affect your trip tomorrow."
Prince Chenghe was the last one to get on the carriage, and he had just arranged for someone to send the servants away.
He patted Yong'an Hou's shoulder and consoled him, "I'll go straight to Tang'er to tell her about the situation here. Cheer up."
Obviously, none of them took their anger out on Marquis Yong'an because of this incident.
