Golden Branch

Chapter 450 Signs
"Brother!"

After hearing this, Wang Heng looked at Lou Yu intently.

She knew that Lou Yu loved her, and she was sure that Lou Yu would do anything for her.

However, she still didn't expect that Lou Yu could do this.

In order to prevent her from suffering the pain of childbirth again and to completely eliminate future troubles, he did not hesitate to hurt himself!
"Aheng, I've said before, the person who loves you the most in this world is me!"

"I also said that I would spend my whole life with you."

Lou Yu's decision was definitely not made on impulse.

When Aheng gave birth that day, everything went smoothly. Anan was born in less than two hours.

There was no difficult delivery and no accidents, but Wang Heng still suffered and felt pain.

Lou Yu did not have a normal growing environment since childhood.

Before he was six years old, Lou Jin loved him, but he also spoiled him unconditionally, causing him to grow up to be a naughty child that was hated by everyone.

After he was six years old, Lou Jin and Madam Dugu, his biological parents, abandoned him time and time again.

There is only one fat girl in his world.

From then on, Lou Yu knew that he would never be able to leave Aheng in this life.

It would be more accurate to say that he depends on Wang Heng rather than cherishing her.

With Wang Heng by his side, he is still a normal person with flesh and blood and emotions.

If Wang Heng were gone, Lou Yu himself couldn't guarantee what kind of cold-blooded, cruel madman he would become!

Now, he has Aheng and the daughter she gave birth to for him, and his life is complete.

He would never allow any changes.

As for offspring and inheritance?

Oh, it doesn’t matter at all.

He didn't even want his biological parents, and he gave up the ancestral Lou family army, let alone other things?

Lou Yu would never do such a stupid thing as putting Wang Heng in danger just to give birth to a son!
Don't want a son.

Don't let Wang Heng suffer.

Just let him take responsibility for it all!

He told Wang Heng today not to impress her or to make her feel burdened, but simply to let her know:
They are a couple and only have one child.

Regardless of whether the child is a boy or a girl, or whether he or she can grow up.

Yes, Lou Yu has always been calm and almost cold-hearted.

Children are difficult to raise.

He is not cursing his daughter. He will do his best to protect and take care of her.

But sometimes, destiny cannot be changed by human power.

If anything happens to Anan during his growth process, Lou Yu will not let Wang Heng go through the pain of pregnancy and the danger of childbirth just because he doesn't have a child!
He would never betray Ah Heng and touch anyone other than her.

Children have never been a must for this couple.

They will never make any compromise or concession for the sake of their children.

Yes, it’s the icing on the cake.

No, it doesn't matter.

They only had each other.

Without anyone else around, Lou Yu doesn't have to worry about Aheng's love and attention being taken away!

It can be said that Lou Yu had thought of all possibilities before making the decision.

He has anticipated both the good and the bad, and can bear the corresponding consequences.

Lou Yu drugged himself not on a whim, and he will not regret it in the future!
"...Alang, I understand! I know exactly what you mean!"

Looking deeply at Lou Yu, a layer of watery light appeared in Wang Heng's black and white lychee eyes.

She reached out and held Lou Yu's hand.

Her hands were small and slender, while Lou Yu's hands were long and broad.

She couldn't hold Lou Yu's entire palm, so she could only wrap around two or three of his fingers.

"I'll never ask again!"

She would not even question Lou Yu's love and sincerity towards her.

They no longer just have the love between siblings who grew up together, but the love between husband and wife who support each other and spend the rest of their lives together.

……

"I've also heard about Princess Jincheng's story."

After the couple felt moved and warm, they entered into conversation mode.

Following the topic Wang Heng had just brought up, Lou Yu held Wang Heng in his arms, resting his chin on her shoulder, his lips against her cheek, and whispered, "She should divorce Wei Shilian!"

Wang Heng was stunned for a moment. She lowered her head, and her nose touched Lou Yu's. "Divorce?"

Wang Heng was not surprised by Princess Jincheng's determination.

This is no ordinary royal lady or noblewoman from an aristocratic family.

She was a princess, and she was an iron lady who dared to sell her dowry and property, recruit soldiers, and actively respond when her father, brother and others started a rebellion.

She had outstanding military achievements and although she was a woman, she enjoyed considerable prestige in the army.

She was also one of the reasons why the saint was able to reach the summit successfully.

It can be said that one quarter of Dayu’s kingdom was due to the efforts of Princess Jincheng.

Given her status and power, she did not keep lovers or bully her husband like other princesses, which shows her noble character.

But this does not mean that the prince consort can ride on her head.

Keep an outside room?
And he even had a concubine who was only a few months younger than the legitimate daughter?
Not to mention the princess, even if it were any other noble lady, it would be intolerable.

The women of Dayu never mind divorce.

Since Wei Shilian dared to humiliate the eldest princess, the eldest princess dared to break off all ties with the Wei family.

What surprised Wang Heng was that less than two days after the scandal of Wei Shilian having a mistress broke out, Princess Jincheng was already making a decision?!

"Isn't it too fast? After all, they are not an ordinary couple. They also have the daughter of Princess Hengyang."

From ancient times to the present, marriage has never been a matter between two people, but a union of two families, a major event that concerns the interests of two families.

Even if you want to divorce, you should do it slowly and cut ties gradually.

Not to mention anything else, as far as Jincheng is concerned, her son Lu Jue is still on his way back to Beijing.

There is still time... It's already November, and the Chinese New Year is just one month away.

Dayu may not have a four-word mantra, but the principle is the same.

It’s the New Year, there’s no need to make things unpleasant.

We can just wait for Lu Jue to come back after the New Year and then deal with it!
Although there has been no news of Princess Jincheng's divorce, since Lou Yu said so, there must be a basis for it.

Wang Heng's brain was working rapidly, and suddenly, she seemed to think of something.

A strange light flashed in her big round eyes. She leaned close to Lou Yu's ear and asked softly:

"Brother, could it be that the princess herself was the one who exposed this matter?"

Jincheng is the eldest princess who holds a high position of power. Although she cannot say that she has absolute power in the capital, she does have control over a certain information network.

Wei Shilian had been keeping a mistress for more than ten years, and no matter how cautious he was, there were always clues.

Wang Heng had reason to suspect that Jincheng might have discovered it long ago and had all the evidence in hand.

She has been holding back, not because she can't, but because she has some reservations:

Firstly, she and Prince Consort Wei have a daughter. Wei Wuyou is young and needs a father, and even more so, she needs her father to have a good reputation.

Even if she didn't have Prince Consort Wei, or Prince Consort Wei's good reputation, Wei Wuyou could still find a good match and marry a good husband of her dreams with the help of Princess Jincheng.

But as a mother, she always wants to give her daughter the best and better.

After Wang Heng gave birth to Anan, she gradually understood what a loving mother's heart meant.

She judged others by herself and thought that if it were her, she would also be cautious and make all kinds of plans for her daughter.

Secondly, there is a very important and subtle reason:
The Wei family is relatively peaceful.

Jincheng can tolerate such a mother-in-law family and even use them as a helper!

As a newly-promoted first-class family, the Wei family has many children, some of whom are officials or soldiers, and can all be used by Jincheng to some extent.

Jincheng does not lack a mother-in-law's family, but it's better to have one than not!
The more tools you can use, the better.

For more and greater benefits, Jincheng even tolerated the marriage between the Wei family and the fourth prince.

and many more!

Four princes!
His biological mother was a member of the royal family of the previous dynasty.

Coincidentally, the Turkic people, whose main force had just been destroyed by the Western Expedition Army and whose country was almost exterminated, had a princess from the previous dynasty named Khahadun.

If you think about it carefully, this Ke Hedun is actually the aunt of the Fourth Prince.

Lu Jue was in the Western Expedition Army and made considerable military achievements this time.

One of them was that he was the first to break through the Turkic royal court.

The merit of “breaking the city”!

Apart from this tremendous achievement, whether Lu Jue obtained any secrets when he rode his horse into the king's tent, only Lu Jue himself and his closest relatives know!

Perhaps, Lu Jue discovered something and quickly sent someone to deliver a letter to Jincheng, and then a "scandal" broke out in the capital!
Wang Heng quickly connected all the clues together and instantly guessed the truth.

She looked at Lou Yu with a look of surprise and uncertainty.

Lou Yu seemed to understand Wang Heng's eyes and guessed all her speculations. Meeting Wang Heng's gaze, Lou Yu slowly nodded.

He didn't say a word, not even a whisper.

But the answer is obvious -

That’s right, Ah Heng, the facts are just as you guessed.

The fourth prince has connections with the Turks!
When Lu Jue was on the campaign, he must have found solid evidence.

The Fourth Prince is finished, and the Wei family, who is closely tied to the Fourth Prince, cannot escape either!
Jincheng had long held the leverage over Wei Shilian and suddenly detonated it in order to cut ties with the Wei family.

There is no way. Jincheng is not an ordinary princess. She has tens of thousands of female soldiers under her command.

A saint would certainly not doubt Jincheng, but people's words are scary.

Jincheng would never let herself be suspected and slandered for a scumbag who had already had an affair with her.

Since her daughter was already married, she and Wei Shilian were not in harmony.

Get a divorce early before the Western Expedition Army returns... It would be better if the Wei family disagrees and causes a big commotion in Jincheng.

Only when the two families completely break up can Jincheng justify its years of holding back!
Wang Heng: ...Amazing! This is the real eldest princess.

She never wastes her energy on matters of the inner house or the love between men and women. She cuts the Gordian knot quickly and avoids any bad reputation.

It was understandable that Wei Shilian kept a concubine, but he still offended the noble.

The noble lady’s divorce was actually Wei’s fault!
Seeing Wang Heng's delicate little face full of admiration and praise for Princess Jincheng, Lou Yu curled the corners of his lips.

Who is Jincheng?

Everyone is available!

Because her ex-husband had a grudge against her family, she immediately decided to send him to death.

Her current husband and his family are restless, and Jincheng can cut off all ties with them without hesitation.

"and many more--"

Wang Heng's mind really works very quickly.

You were eating melons one second and thinking about yourself the next.

She tilted her head and suddenly said, "I heard that Prince Wei's wife is pregnant?"

The Fourth Prince's wife, Wei Prajna, is now a visiting professor at Lishan Academy.

Although not a full-time teacher, he still goes to the academy to teach for one or two days every ten days.

When Wang Heng was not in the capital, Wei Prajna became more and more interested in the academy, increased the number of lessons, and had good relationships with some talented students from good families!
Wei Prajna wasn't trying to steal Wang Heng's girl; she was secretly competing with her.

The most talented woman in the capital is Wei Prajna, not Princess Langya!

If the Wei family had not been exposed, Wang Heng would never have bothered with Wei Banruo if she had some small thoughts.

But now——

It’s better to eliminate hidden dangers in advance.

Lishan Academy is Wang Heng's hard work and an important move she has made. She will never allow it to be destroyed by others!
Fortunately, the reason is not difficult to find. Wei Prajna is pregnant.

Wei Prajna seemed willing to continue teaching, but Wang Heng urged Wei Prajna to stay away from the academy on the grounds that her status as a prince's consort was precious and she could not afford to make any mistakes.

Lou Yu smiled, his eyes filled with warmth: "Yes! Wei is pregnant, and I heard that judging by her pulse, it's a boy."

The Fourth Prince has been married for several years and has several illegitimate sons, but no legitimate son.

The sage values ​​the eldest son.

His crown prince is the eldest son, and the heir to the Eastern Palace is also the crown prince’s eldest son!
Following the example of their superiors, the other princes also attached great importance to the legitimate son.

Even the ministers seemed to highly respect it.

It seems that for the princes, having a legitimate son is a plus point and an extra bargaining chip!
Since the Fourth Prince has ambitions to take the throne, he naturally wants to increase his advantages as much as possible.

As for the Wei family, they chose to bet on the fourth prince in advance, and the two families have long been inseparable.

Wei Prajna was pregnant, and it was very likely that it was a little grandson of the emperor, which made the Wei family feel more at ease.

With a male heir who combines the bloodlines of both families, the Wei family no longer has to worry about "making wedding clothes for others".

The fourth prince ascended the throne, and his successor was the grandson of the Wei family.

Even if the Wei family has to devote all their strength, they are willing and happy to do it!
The Wei family is bound to become more and more willful.

Princess Jincheng, while holding the secret letter sent by Lu Jue, witnessed with her own eyes and ears all the outrageous behavior of the Wei family, and her determination to cut off ties with the Wei family became even more determined!
Wang Heng was astonished. As expected, everything had a reason, and when connected together, it could all be explained.

After sighing, Wang Heng couldn't help but sigh: "Alas, the wind is about to blow again!"

This capital city is always in turmoil and there is never any peace.

Lou Yu held Wang Heng's shoulders and said softly, "It's okay! It has nothing to do with us anyway!"

The only thing that is somewhat involved is Wei Prajna's "part-time job" at Lishan Academy.

However, everyone in the capital knew that there was a discord between the Wei girl and Princess Langya.

Wang Heng immediately decided to ask Wei to leave, cutting off their only connection. Wei's misfortune would not implicate them and their husband!

"...Brother is right! It has nothing to do with us!"

Wang Heng nodded slowly, her voice soft but her expression firm!
……

Wei Shilian's scandal caused a huge uproar.

Princess Jincheng's relentless attitude almost turned the Wei family upside down.

Even the emperor in the Daming Palace heard about it.

The emperor loved and hated his daughter Jincheng. He loved her excellence, but also hated that she only cared about her brother and not Yeye.

However, no matter how much love and hate he felt, she was still his own daughter, and he would not allow her to be bullied by his subjects!

The emperor directly ordered that Jincheng and Wei be allowed to divorce!
