Chapter 21 Do we have to go door to door to reason with them?
The secret guards that Concubine Liu had the Liu family spend a huge amount of money to train to protect the Sixth Prince during his absence from the palace are indeed not to be underestimated.

Yingyi moved very quickly. As soon as Yunshu and the others finished their snacks, Yingyi came back with the information he had found out.

It turned out that Cao Wenbin did not go to buy medicine for Tang Xinhua today.

He rode his horse hurriedly past early in the morning, actually he was rushing to see a mistress he had hidden in the south of the city.

The concubine was diagnosed with pregnancy last night, and before dawn this morning she sent a maid to secretly go to Cao's mansion to inform Cao Wenbin of the news.

Cao Wenbin was overjoyed when he learned about this, and even promised the concubine that he would marry her and make her his concubine!

"It's just too much!"

I never expected that my vision was so poor that I failed to discover Cao Wenbin's true face for two years. In the end, I had to rely on Her Royal Highness the Fifth Princess to identify the scumbag at a glance.

Tang Muzhi slammed the table angrily:

"I will go back and inform my father and grandfather, and ask my sister to divorce that man surnamed Cao!"

"Shouldn't you tell your sister first?"

Yun Shu held his chin with one hand and couldn't help but complain:

"What if your sister doesn't know about this? You just brought your grandfather and uncle to ask for a divorce, and your cousin, as the person involved, was the last to know what happened...

I always feel it’s a bit embarrassing.”

"...Mu Zhi has actually considered what Your Highness said."

Yun Shu pointed out the most critical issue directly. Tang Muzhi's anger froze for a moment, and after a while, he sat down dejectedly.

"But if I tell my sister about this in advance, I'm afraid she won't be willing to divorce."

"why?"

This touched upon a realm that Yun Shu could not understand:
"Cao Wenbin's mind is obviously not on her. His mistress and illegitimate child are about to take over her. Isn't it better to keep her for the New Year?"

"My sister values ​​her reputation."

Tang Muzhi sighed deeply, and it was obvious that he was quite helpless about this:

"My sister has been married for two years and has yet to have a child, which has already caused some gossip.

If I divorce that Cao guy again, people outside will probably just blame my sister for not being able to have children and being jealous."

"...?"

A question mark slowly appeared in Yun Shu's head:
"Shouldn't the man surnamed Cao be blamed for this?"

"In this world, it's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. Although it's wrong for Cao Wenbin to have a mistress, at most people would just talk about it after dinner.

But women are different.”

Tang Muzhi shook his head:
“Not to mention that when the empress was in power, there were many corrupt scholars who angrily denounced the hen that crowed at dawn.

Now, more than a hundred years have passed since the era of the empress, and the so-called women's virtues and women's rings have long been dug up again and turned into ropes to bind women.

It's just that up to now, no emperor has explicitly overturned the ancestral precepts left by the ancestor who ascended to the throne as a woman, so these people didn't dare to bring those dregs to the table openly.

But in fact, such thoughts have already quietly taken root in people's minds.

Nowadays, almost all the ladies from these noble families are trapped in such confinement."

"Is it the same with you?"

After hearing this outrageous statement, Yun Shu's first reaction was to ask the "young lady from a prominent family" next to him:
"Yiyi, do you also think that my cousin shouldn't divorce that guy named Cao?"

"of course not!"

Cen Yiyi was almost furious when she heard the news reported by Yingyi.
It was just because she didn't even know Tang's sister and she had no right to speak up, so she just pouted and sulked quietly by herself.

Now that Yun Shu had asked her, Cen Yiyi said without hesitation:
"My parents, my eldest brother, my second brother, my third brother, and even my second uncle, my third uncle, and my grandfather have all told me that if someone wants to use the contents of the Women's Virtue Ring to accuse me, I must not take it seriously, because I am not the one who is wrong!
If the other person is a woman, it means she is very pitiful.
If the other person is a man, it means he is shameless!
If I ever meet a man like this, I will stay away from him.
If I can't get away from him by my own strength, then tell my father, my grandfather, my brothers and uncles about this!" Yun Chuhuan: "..."

Why do I feel a sudden chill on my back?

"well said!"

Yun Shu, whose attention was focused on Cen Yiyi, didn't pay attention to the slightly weird expression on the naughty kid's face.
She nodded approvingly:

“Aren’t there still some sober people here?”

"Ms. Cen's family are all very nice."

Unexpectedly, Cen Yiyi, who was only eight years old, could say such a thing. Tang Muzhi was stunned for a moment, and lowered his eyes in shame:

"If I had said things like this to my sister more often before, everything might have been different."

"Can't you start being reasonable from now on?"

Seeing that Tang Muzhi's mood was getting lower and lower, and it was because of him,

Cen Yiyi offered some advice in a somewhat clumsy way:
"Letting everyone know that it's wrong should be enough, right?"

"laugh!"

Yun Chuhuan habitually sneered before speaking:
"How? Are you going to go door to door and tell them?"

"No."

Cen Yiyi pursed her lips, and now she obviously realized that her idea was not reliable at all:

"I just……"

"It's not impossible."

"what?"

Cen Yiyi was stunned. When she suddenly turned her head to look at Yun Shu, she almost bit her tongue:
"Really? Do we really have to go door to door and tell them?"

"more or less!"

Yun Shu shrugged. Because she had already thought of a solution, her tone became noticeably lighter:

"Anyway, I know what to do about this matter. Although it may take a little more time, it won't be too long.

"Cousin, if you are really worried, you can talk to your cousin secretly and tell her to calm down. I will take care of everything!"

"Then your Highness, Lao."

Tang Muzhi hesitated and said:

"I just don't know what your highness plans to do?"

"Keep it secret for now!"

Yun Shu did not want to say more and stood up:

"It's a rare opportunity for me to leave the palace. I've tried the snacks at Lian Xin Zhai. It's time to go shopping somewhere else. I promised my father that I would bring him some gifts back!"

"Bring a gift for Father?"

Yun Chuhuan reflexively went through all the most famous shops in the capital in his mind, and then quickly caught up with Yun Shu on his short legs:

"It's not even the birthday celebration yet! Why did you suddenly buy me a gift?

Fifth sister, what is your budget? The money I bring may not be enough!"
