Chapter 160 Hugh
On the second day, Gu Qingluo came to visit Lin Lingling alone.
"Miss Lin, listen to me. When you recover from your injury, go back. Don't worry, I will send someone to protect you. Your husband won't dare to do anything to you."
After hearing what Gu Qingluo said, she had tears in her eyes and her voice trembled: "Your Majesty, I'm really afraid that after I go back..."
"What are you afraid of!" Gu Qingluo waved his hand: "Since he dares to favor his concubine and kill his wife, you don't have to pity him. This kind of person deserves to die. Just stand up straight and go back. We are right, so what are we afraid of!"
Lin Lingling bit her lip, her expression still filled with fear and hesitation: "But Your Majesty, if it was really that concubine who instigated my husband to do this, what can I do?"
Gu Qingluo widened her eyes and raised her voice, "If it was your concubine who instigated your husband to do this, you must not let her go, lest she pushes the issue further. The people I sent to you are not pushovers, they will help you investigate. If that concubine is causing trouble, I will not let her off easily!"
Lin Lingling nodded slightly, and seemed to have some confidence in her heart.
Gu Qingluo continued, "Ms. Lin, you can't be so weak anymore. When you go back, you have to fight for what you should fight for and be tough when you need to be tough. Don't always think about swallowing your anger, because that will only make them bully you more."
Lin Lingling wiped her tears and said, "Your Majesty, I understand. Thank you for your guidance."
“That’s it!”
Lin Lingling nodded.
Gu Qingluo said to Lin Lingling with a serious face: "The customs of the people in Fengcheng are open, and the same is true for women's marriage. You should divorce him."
Lin Lingling heard this, tears welled up in her eyes, her face full of disbelief: "Your Majesty, is this possible? I have never thought of it..."
Gu Qingluo frowned and said anxiously: "Miss Lin, you have to listen to me! Otherwise, when the news is over, he will still attack you. Look at the wounds on your body, all blue and purple. Do you still want to continue to suffer this?"
Lin Lingling looked down at the bruises on her arms and couldn't help shivering when she thought of her husband's ferocious look.
Gu Qingluo held her hand and continued to persuade her: "Lingling, our Fengcheng is different from other places. Women don't have to hang themselves on a tree. What's wrong with divorce? We have to think about the rest of our lives! You are still young, you can't let him ruin your life like this."
Lin Lingling bit her lip, still a little hesitant: "But I'm afraid of gossip from others and my family won't agree."
Gu Qingluo snorted, "What are you talking about? We are upright, so what are we afraid of? If your family really wants you well, they should support you. Think about it, if you don't divorce, how are you going to live in the future? Will you be beaten and scolded every day?"
Lin Lingling was silent for a while, and seemed to be struggling in her heart.
Gu Qingluo added: "Don't be afraid, so many women in Fengcheng are still living well after divorce, you can do it too!"
After Gu Qingluo's constant persuasion, Lin Lingling finally plucked up the courage, nodded and said, "Your Majesty, I listen to you. I want a divorce!"
Gu Qingluo: "Okay."
……
After some time, Lin Lingling's injuries were almost healed.
Under the escort of people sent by Gu Qingluo, she returned to her husband's home.
When the husband and the concubine saw the people from the palace following her, they turned pale with fright.
Lin Lingling followed what Gu Qingluo had taught her and was no longer submissive.
After some investigation, the people sent by Gu Qingluo found out that it was indeed the concubine who instigated behind the scenes. Lin Linglingling slapped the concubine without saying a word.
She threw the divorce letter she had written on the man's face and said coldly, "Liu Ming, from now on, we will go our separate ways and live happily ever after!"
Liu Ming wanted to hit someone, but when his slap was about to hit Lin Lingling in the face, he was stopped by the guards.
"You have to take this divorce letter whether you want to or not!" Lin Lingling sneered.
Seeing this, the concubine was overjoyed: "Tsk, your husband can still live without you, and what else can you do after you leave your husband?"
"Without the support of your husband's family, you can only live like a street rat."
Lin Lingling glanced at her and said sarcastically, "If he can do this to me, he will do the same to you."
"We'll see."
The concubine didn't care: "That's because you're not beautiful anymore, you can't capture his heart, but I'm still young, I can definitely capture his heart firmly."
Lin Lingling snorted coldly: "You two bastards, you will get your comeuppance!"
Liu Ming was furious when he heard this: "Bitch, just wait for me!"
"I can kill you once, and I can kill you again!"
Lin Lingling turned a deaf ear to him, straightened her back and left.
……
In the imperial study, Gu Qingluo and Ji Yanchen were discussing some matters in the harem, and the atmosphere was originally quite relaxed.
At this moment, Eunuch Su rushed in and shouted in a panic, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something happened to Lord Zheng!"
Gu Qingluo and Ji Yanchen looked at each other. Gu Qingluo frowned and asked, "What happened to him?"
Eunuch Su panted and said, "Sir Zheng, when you were promoting the imperial examination system, a woman tried to blackmail you! She even said that Sir Zheng got her pregnant! Sir Zheng should be held responsible!"
Gu Qingluo and Lin Lingling were both shocked.
Eunuch Su continued, "Lord Zheng couldn't leave even if he wanted to. He was surrounded by the people and beaten by the woman's family!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Qingluo's brows relaxed and he said, "Go find Qin Hean and the others and help Zheng Xuanran escape!"
Eunuch Su responded and left in a hurry.
Ji Yanchen peeled an apple for Gu Qingluo and asked casually, "Zheng Xuanran is so unlucky. How could he have such a thing happen to him?"
Gu Qingluo smiled and said thoughtfully: "This matter is strange. I know Zheng Xuanran's character very well. Someone must have deliberately framed him."
“Although she likes women, she is not really so hungry that she would bite a wild flower on the roadside.”
"Your Majesty said so."
After a while, Eunuch Su hurried over with Qin Hean and others.
"Your Majesty, we will do our best to rescue Lord Zheng." Qin Hean said with a bow.
Gu Qingluo nodded: "Your Majesty, go quickly and make sure Zheng Xuanran is safe."
Qin Hean and others set out immediately and rushed towards the scene of the accident.
At this time, the place where the riot was taking place was in chaos. Zheng Xuanran was surrounded in the middle, with a look of helplessness and anger on his face. The woman and her family refused to give in, and the people around them pointed and talked.
After Qin Hean and others arrived, they had to work very hard to squeeze into the crowd.
"Everyone, disperse! Don't be rude!" Qin Hean frowned and shouted loudly. He knew that the situation was urgent and if these people continued to make trouble, it would only make things worse.
The woman and her family felt a little scared after hearing what Qin Hean said.
After all, the man in front of them looked very majestic, and there was a group of officials behind him, so they restrained themselves a little, but still refused to give up.
Qin Hean looked at them, with a hint of displeasure in his eyes.
He knew very well what these people were thinking. They just wanted to use this incident to prevent the implementation of the imperial examination system in order to gain more benefits.
But he also understood that doing so would only make things more complicated.
He took a deep breath and said to the woman and her family, "This matter will be investigated thoroughly. If Lord Zheng is really wronged, you will be in big trouble!"
"Come here, take them all back for questioning!"
"Yes!"
