Chapter 121 The Emperor's Will
The conflict between the Shen family and the Jiang family is the most beneficial thing for the emperor.
Of the Jiang and Shen families, the emperor naturally trusts Jiang Moting more.
After all, he has followed him for more than ten years, and his family are all commoners. Jiang Moting is also very honest and did not try to win over his own forces.
In comparison, the Shen family is the Queen's maiden family, and the Shen family also has close ties with the royal family, and they are real princes, nobles, and royal relatives.
But now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is particularly obedient to Shen Yanfeng and often calls Shen Yanfeng to the Imperial Study to discuss state affairs with him.
In addition, Shen Yanfeng is an extraordinary martial arts master with unmatched courage. If such a person controls His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it would be extremely dangerous for Dawei.
He had finally gotten rid of Prince Yong'an, and now there's another Shen Yanfeng.
In order to prevent the imperial power from being overthrown, he must eliminate the Shen family and Shen Yanfeng before the prince ascends the throne.
Emperor: "General Shen, I have always heard that you have a deep love for your wife. Are you really willing to divorce her?"
Shen Yanfeng was stunned for a moment when he heard this. Then, he couldn't help but kneel down in front of the emperor excitedly: "Your Majesty, I really can't bear to divorce Su Jin."
Emperor: "In that case, then...why don't you stay together for another month? If you can still get along, then continue living together. If you really can't get along, then I will allow you to divorce."
The two families have already started fighting, and letting them live together will undoubtedly aggravate the conflict between the two families.
But Shen Yanfeng couldn't care less. Since the emperor gave him a chance to be with Jiang Sujin again, it meant that their fate was not over yet.
He was willing to use this month to perform well and make Jiang Sujin accept him again.
Jiang Moting wanted to refuse, but the emperor's words were the imperial decree. Although he was unwilling, he had to endure it.
Naturally, the Shen family was unwilling to do so. After all, Jiang Sujin had given birth to someone else's child, so how could their Shen family raise someone else's child?
After the court session, Father Shen could not help but stop Jiang Moting and said, "Sir Jiang, we can accept Su Jin, but that bastard..."
Jiang Moting got anxious when he heard this: "What bastard? He's my grandson, Jiang Moting. How can you talk like that?"
As he said that, Jiang Moting punched Shen's father in the face. Seeing this, the two uncles of the Shen family naturally rushed forward.
Seeing that Jiang Moting was about to be beaten, Shen Yanfeng hurriedly protected Jiang Moting behind him.
Jiang Moting didn't want to accept Shen Yanfeng's kindness, so he pushed Shen Yanfeng away and started fighting with the brothers of the Shen family.
Shen Yanfeng didn't want the two families to fall out, so he could only try to mediate the fight, and the scene instantly became chaotic.
When the emperor learned that the two families had fought outside the Qianqing Palace, he couldn't help but smile wickedly.
Jiang Moting returned home with a bruise on the corner of his mouth. When Yang Xiuyun saw the injury on Jiang Moting's face, she couldn't help but widen her eyes.
"What's wrong with you?"
Jiang Moting said angrily: "Those bastards from the Shen family actually called our grandson a bastard. I was so angry that I fought them."
Yang Xiuyun: "We should fight them. The more we do this, the more we should not tell them. They will regret it in the future."
Jiang Sujin: "Dad, are you still talking about these things in the court?"
Jiang Moting: "It was the old man from the Shen family who suddenly brought it up. They felt that you had proposed a divorce and it was embarrassing, so they took the initiative."
Jiang Sujin: "What did the emperor say?"
When Jiang Moting heard this, he couldn't help but sigh: "The emperor favors Shen Yanfeng too much. He thinks Shen Yanfeng still has feelings for you, so he wants you to stay with him for another month."
"After a month, if you still want to divorce him, he will allow you to divorce."
Jiang Sujin couldn't help but frown when she heard this: "Why would the emperor suddenly care about such trivial matters?"
Jiang Moting: "I'm also surprised. He usually doesn't care. Maybe he values Shen Yanfeng too much."
Jiang Sujin: "What should we do? Does my daughter really have to stay with Shen Yanfeng for another month?"
Jiang Moting said with a sullen face: "Daughter, this is an imperial decree, you cannot disobey it."
When Jiang Sujin heard this, her expression instantly became even uglier.
She had finally come to an agreement with Shen Yanfeng, but now she had to face him again. This was pure torment for her.
Just then, Shen Yanfeng suddenly came with a gift box.
"Meet the father-in-law, meet the mother-in-law!"
Jiang Moting glanced at him sideways, then couldn't help but snorted coldly.
Yang Xiuyun actually liked Shen Yanfeng very much, she only hated Mrs. Shen.
"Why are you here at this time?"
Shen Yanfeng glanced at Jiang Sujin, and then said unnaturally: "The emperor ordered me to stay with Sujin for another month, so I came to pick her up."
Jiang Sujin couldn't help but frowned when she heard this: "I won't go. The Shen family can no longer accommodate me, so there is no reason for me to go to the Shen family anymore."
Shen Yanfeng: "But the emperor's words are so true..."
Jiang Sujin: "Then I won't go either."
Yang Xiuyun: "Susu, listen to your mother. Since the emperor has issued an order, you should go back with your son-in-law!"
She said this mainly because she was thinking of Hanhan. After all, he was the root of the Shen family. If a man has no roots, no matter how rich he is, he will always be inferior to others in front of the wealthy families.
Jiang Sujin is young and she still doesn’t understand many things.
Jiang Sujin: "Mom, have you forgotten what you promised me?"
Yang Xiuyun: "Susu, the emperor has already issued an order, we cannot disobey it."
Shen Yanfeng: "Don't worry, father-in-law and mother-in-law, I won't let Susu suffer any grievances."
Jiang Moting couldn't help but snorted again when he heard this. After what happened in the morning, he hated the Shen family even more.
"Remember, if my daughter loses even a hair, I, Jiang Moting, will never let you go."
Shen Yanfeng: "Don't worry, father-in-law. I have deep feelings for Su Jin and will never let her suffer any injustice."
"And Hanhan, Su Jin can take him with her. I will definitely treat him like my own son and will never let him suffer any injustice."
Jiang Sujin was panicked when she heard this: "No need, Hanhan can stay in Jiang Mansion. I will be back in about a month."
Yang Xiuyun and Jiang Moting naturally knew what Su Jin was afraid of, so they didn't say much.
Half an hour later, Jiang Sujin reluctantly followed Shen Yanfeng into the carriage.
Jiang Sujin: "Shen Yanfeng, the imperial edict is an imperial edict, but I hope you can keep your promise to me."
Shen Yanfeng was silent for a moment and said, "Half a month. If you still cannot accept me after half a month, I will give up on you and let you go back to Jiang Mansion. I will explain to the emperor when the time comes."
Jiang Sujin: "There are only two more times. You can't take advantage of this opportunity to bully me endlessly."
Shen Yanfeng glanced at her, then said in a deep voice: "If you can't belong to me physically and mentally, then what's the point of me forcing you?"
Jiang Sujin let down her guard a little after hearing this.
The two returned to the Shen Mansion together, where Old Madam Shen was already waiting at the door.
Others may not come, but Old Madam Shen has always liked Su Jin. No matter what, if she can come back, her grandson will no longer be depressed.
Old Madam Shen held Jiang Sujin's hand and said with red eyes: "Sujin, it's great that you can come back."
Jiang Sujin couldn't help but be moved when she saw how sincere Madam Shen was.
"Grandma, are you feeling well these days?"
"Okay, everything is fine. It will be even better if you come back."
Shen Yanfeng couldn't help but feel moved when he saw his grandmother like this.
When he was depressed, his grandmother was also worried about it.
Just then, Mrs. Shen suddenly came over with a sullen face.
"Hey, Su Jin is back?"
Jiang Sujin: "Hello, Madam Shen!"
Madam Shen couldn't help but widen her eyes when she heard this: "How can you call me Madam Shen? I'm your mother-in-law."
Jiang Sujin: "I was planning to divorce Shen Yanfeng. The reason I came to the Shen Mansion was to obey the emperor's order. I also want to divorce, so naturally I can't shout nonsense."
