Chapter 534 - 534 It was over
After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister's Treasure
534 It was over
Liang Yujun was not surprised by Father Ruanâs request to see him.
He wiped his mouth with a handkerchief. âTake him to the front hall and wait.â
âYes!â The butler replied respectfully.
Father Ruan was brought to the front hall.
He waited for a long time before he saw Prince Jin, who had arrived late.
His daughter dared to act willfully towards Prince Jin, but he didnât dare to.
He bowed respectfully. âGreetings, Your Highness!â
Liang Yujun walked to the head of the table and sat down. âWhatâs the matter? â
Father Ruanâs face was full of smiles.
âMy daughter has been talking about Your Highness at home, so I came to ask when you would get someone to pick her up.â
His daughter couldnât stay at their house all the time.
Now, the outsiders were starting to spread rumors, saying that his daughter had fallen out of favor.
Moreover, his insolent daughter was tyrannical at home.
She wanted to have the best food and enjoy the best of everything.
She also suppressed and bullied his concubines and illegitimate sons.
She also brought back an even more unruly granddaughter.
Their whole family was extremely annoyed and wanted to send her back immediately.
Liang Yujun picked up the tea that the servant girl had just served and asked, âDidnât she tell you why I wanted to send her back to her motherâs home?â
When Father Ruan heard this, he realized that things were different from what he had expected.
âShe said that she had a small conflict with Your Highness, so she went back to her motherâs house to stay for a while,â he said truthfully.
Liang Yujun blew on his tea and took a sip. âSmall conflict? She even dared to say that.
âI sent her back to her home because she has already lost her position as a princess. To be precise, I divorced her.
âWhat right does she have to return to my residence?â
Her father was shocked. âWhat? Sheâs been divorced.â
How was this possible? Didnât His Highness pamper his daughter to the heavens?
His daughter had been acting recklessly and arrogantly before, but Prince Jin had always indulged her.
âThatâs right, weâve divorced!â Liang Yujun said.
âShe committed a crime in Heyang County. If it wasnât for me, she and her vicious daughter would have been in jail or exiled.
âDivorcing her is already a light punishment.â
He briefly explained how Ruan Songling and her daughter had ordered people to set fire to Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo.
âAs the price for not going to jail or being exiled, Ruan Songling and your Ruan family must build a cement road from Heyang County to the capital.
âIâve already asked the housekeeper to check Ruan Songlingâs private property and all the gold and silver jewelry. Itâs not enough to repair the road.
âMy people have calculated. After taking out Ruan Songlingâs money, your family still has to fork out 300, 000 taels of silver.
âI had originally sent someone to inform you to gather the money as soon as possible in the next few days. Now that youâve come here yourself, you should quickly get this matter done.â
When he sent Ruan Songling home, he deliberately didnât mention the matter of dethroning the princess and divorcing her.
He wanted to let Ruan Songling and her daughter continue to act like tyrants in the Ruan family.
That way, when the Ruan family found out about this, the two of them would retaliate even more.
Ruan Songling and Liang Mingmin, other than the money and jewelry they brought to Heyang County, he got the butler packed everything else.
These would be used to repair the road.
He was actually a little surprised, because Ruan Songling and Liang Mingminâs combined wealth was actually more than a million taels.
Ruan Songling had her people build a few secret compartments in the room and put a lot of gold and silver notes.
The twoâs wealth alone was enough to build a road, but he naturally would not let the Ruan family off.
All these years, the Ruan family had gotten a lot of benefits with his family behind them.
He wanted the Ruan family to spit everything out.
He had asked someone to check the amount of money the Ruan family could take out.
It was about 200,000 taels, so he asked for 300,000. He had to let the Ruan family sell their shops and fields to get another 100,000.
This would be like cutting their own flesh.
The Ruan family would definitely hate Ruan Songling.
Father Ruan didnât expect this to happen.
His legs turned to jelly and he knelt on the ground immediately. âYour Highness, your princess consort didnât do it on purpose. She knows sheâs in the wrong. Please forgive her this time.
âWhen I go back, Iâll definitely make her learn what she shouldnât be doing as a female and make her a qualified princess so that she wonât make such a mistake again.â
Liang Yujun immediately threw the teacup in his hand at Father Ruan. âWhat princess consort? Sheâs just a b * tch that I have divorced.â
Father Ruan didnât dare to dodge.
Even with his fat body, he couldnât avoid it.
...
Therefore, even though his face was smashed and his body was soaked in hot water, he gritted his teeth and didnât dare to cry out.
Liang Yujun stood up and snorted coldly. âUsually, sheâs throwing her weight around in the royal residence, but I canât even be bothered with her.
âBut she still wanted to make me a cuckold. She went to Heyang County to find Prince Yi in private and wanted to kill Princess Fubao, who had just been conferred by the emperor, and also an official in the imperial court.
âDo you think that my residence can still accommodate them?â
He walked in front of Father Ruan and looked down at him.
âIf the Ruan family doesnât send over 300,000 taels in 10 days, your entire family will be exiled.
âI will mean it. If you donât believe me, you can try.â
Father Ruan didnât expect Prince Jin, who was always kind and friendly, to change like this.
After hearing Prince Jinâs words, he was so scared that his entire body went soft.
He knew a little that Ruan Songling had liked Prince Yi before she married him, but he didnât expect that after so many years, his daughter was still thinking about Prince Yi.
She was even more daring to go to Heyang County to find Prince Yi.
...
No wonder Prince Jin was so angry and wanted to divorce her.
If any other man were him, they wouldnât even be able to stand being cuckolded, not to mention that this was the most respected Prince Jin in the northern border.
In his heart, he cursed Ruan Songling, the daughter he had once been most proud of, and continued to plead with Prince Jin.
However, Prince Jin did not pay any attention to him.
He left after giving his last warning.
After a moment, Father Ruan got up and left under the cold urging of the Butler.
The butlerâs attitude was completely different from before.
When he left, he even stuffed a divorce letter written by Prince Jin into his hands and deliberately pushed him out before slamming the door shut.
Father Ruan was furious, but he didnât dare to scold or say anything.
When he opened the divorce papers, he only had one thought in his mind.
It was over.
Judging from the butlerâs attitude, he knew that his daughter had been completely rejected by Prince Jin.
Father Ruan returned home in a carriage and went to the backyard angrily.
As soon as he entered, he saw his wife and Ruan Songling half-lying on the soft chairs, with his concubine serving them.
Several of his sons and daughters-in-law were being punished to kneel, and his new concubine was being slapped by the maidservant.
Ruan Songling was drinking the birdâs nest while she expressed her displeasure about why this wasnât the most precious type of birdâs nest.
Seeing this, Father Ruan was even angrier. He walked in with a face full of anger.
Mother Ruan glanced at him. âWhatâs wrong with you, old master? If you want to throw a tantrum, then go out. Those who donât know might think that youâre not happy that your daughter has returned to home.â
Ever since she had her daughterâs support, her confidence had also become stronger.
Not only did she manage to control Father Ruan, but she also managed to control all the concubines in the courtyard.
Her daughter was her source of confidence.
Father Ruan couldnât stand his wife riding on his head.
He couldnât help but walk over and slap her.
âThe good daughter you raised is so shameless.â
