The Third Prince Liang Hengxiao saw his father leaving with a cold face. He knew that it was because of him.
He was a little confused at this time and didn’t know what to do.
He finally got a chance to fight in court, but now it was gone?
As for being angry with Fu Wenzheng, he couldn’t express his anger. After all, he was the one who asked for it.
This can be considered as digging a hole to bury himself.
He walked out of the hall in a daze and happened to meet the Second Prince, who didn’t look very good.
The corner of his lips twitched as he said: “Second Brother, are you satisfied now?”
How could Fu Wenzheng do such a stupid thing if it wasn’t for his second brother?
Liang Hengshao raised an eyebrow: “What should I satisfied with? Your princess did something stupid, what does it have to do with me?”
He was also very depressed now, okay?
Fu Wenzheng’s sudden move not only made it more difficult for him to win over Shi Qingluo but also disrupted his previous plans.
This Third Brother has close contact with Jiangnan, and he has hinted Fu Wenzheng to steal the account books and evidence.
Now that the princess has become a concubine, it may become difficult to steal.
Of course, if the Third Prince still doted on that stupid woman, his plan could go ahead.
Liang Hengxiao’s face showed a bit of sarcasm: “It has nothing to do with you, you don’t feel embarrassed to say that?”
“Take care of yourself.” After saying this, he turned around and left.
His father asked him to hand over the errand in his hand to his second brother, he wanted to see if he could do all of them.
Looking at Liang Hengxiao leaving with a cold expression, Liang Hengshao’s expression became even uglier.
He scolded Fu Wenzheng again in his heart for being a woman who failed more than achieved anything.
Liang Hengxiao returned to the Third Prince’s Mansion and heard the housekeeper coming to report.
“Your Highness, the princess has been making trouble, saying she wants to see you.”
Liang Hengxiao rubbed his eyebrows and asked: “What’s going on?”
He returned to his mansion as soon as he left the palace, so the imperial edict to deprive the princess hadn’t yet come.
The housekeeper replied: “The Empress Dowager sent several maidservants to the house, saying that they want the princess to learn the rules.”
He looked at the Third Highness carefully and then added: “The Empress Dowager also said that she has no rules and has disgraced the royal family. If she can’t learn well, she can’t leave the palace.”
Liang Hengxiao was relieved, but he didn’t expect the Empress Dowager to intervene.
But then, he suddenly thought that yesterday, Xi Rui went to the palace to ask for an audience with the Empress Dowager. Not long after, Xi Rong also went and returned to the palace.
Presumably, these two people must have said something in front of the Empress dowager that led to this incident.
For the first time, he felt very tired: “Then let her learn the rules.”
Fu Wenzheng has indeed gone too far. The evidence that the censor presented today in the court also opened his eyes.
He always thought that she was just a little unruly and domineering, but it was also because of her temperament that she gave him a sense of vitality.
He didn’t expect that she would be so cruel.
What made him most uncomfortable was that all the women she dealt with were related to his second brother.
Does she want to marry his second brother?
Did he do something wrong?
He ordered, “Don’t call her the Third Princess in the future.”
The housekeeper was confused: “What should I call her? If I don’t call her like this, I’m afraid that the princess will be unhappy.”
Liang Hengxiao said: “Today in the court, my imperial father has demoted her as a concubine. From now on, she will only be a concubine in the third prince’s house. Do you understand?”
The housekeeper was shocked. He had no idea that the Third Princess would be demoted as a concubine.
This was the first time such a thing had happened in the imperial family. How big a mistake must be made to offend the emperor with such an imperial edict?!
“Yes!” He said hurriedly and respectfully.
Liang Hengxiao thought for a while and went to the backyard.
He and Fu Wenzheng didn’t live together, which was ridiculous to say.
It has been nearly a year since he married her and he has not touched her yet.
She objected to her husband touching her.
After walking into the courtyard, he heard Fu Wenzheng’s somewhat harsh scream.
“I am the Third Prince, I don’t want to learn any rules.”
“I don’t want to learn, you go.”
The three old mamas said solemnly: “This is the Empress Dowager’s decree. It’s not up to you.”
Seeing Liang Hengxiao walking in.
Fu Wenzheng’s restless heart calmed down instantly.
“Liang Hengxiao, let them go, I don’t want to learn any rules.”
She didn’t learn any rules before she got married, so why should she learn them now that she was the princess?
Hearing her arrogant and commanding tone, Liang Hengxiao said calmly: “This is the imperial grandmother’s decree, and I can’t resist it, so just follow it obediently.”
Why make such a fuss when you know you can’t resist?
Fu Wenzheng was unhappy when she heard this: “Won’t you go and plead for me? Why are you so useless?”
These words made Liang Hengxiao’s heart shrink, and he couldn’t help but say: “I am very useless, so who is not useless, Liang Hengshao?”
Fu Wenzheng was stunned, obviously not expecting that he would say such things to her.
“You begged to marry me back then, what do you mean now?”
She started to lose her temper: “I don’t want to be the princess, okay?”
As usual, as long as she said these words to Liang Hengxiao, he would coax her in a low voice.
But this time, Liang Hengxiao showed a smile that Fu Wenzheng couldn’t understand: “You can stop being a princess.”
She often threatened him with this before, but now it was fine, she could do things on her own.
Fu Wenzheng’s expression changed: “Liang Hengxiao, what do you mean?”
“Do you think I care about being the Third Princess? If you don’t make it clear today, don’t ever step into my courtyard again.”
She was used to being domineering in front of Liang Hengxiao, and she always felt that he would coax her as before.
Liang Hengxiao closed his eyes and said: “You will know later.”
“Stop making trouble and calm down.”
After saying this, he suddenly didn’t want to stay here anymore, so he turned around and left.
Fu Wenzheng’s cursing voice could be heard from behind, which made him even more tired.
Soon, the news of the Third Princess being demoted as a concubine spread in the capital.
This was naturally due to the contributions of Xi Rui and others.
They ran to the largest restaurant in the capital. Instead of going to a private room, they went to the hall downstairs to celebrate while drinking.
Many of the things Fu Wenzheng did have been spread by Liang Youxiao’s people.
So everyone in the capital knows that she has persecuted many women.
She has framed women from aristocratic families, forced low-status women to marry grooms or porters, and even found someone to destroy a woman’s innocence.
On the outskirts of the capital, they also surrounded the fertile land cultivated by ordinary people to raise horses for fun, but they spent very little money on it.
No matter where she was, as long as she liked something, she would forcefully buy it back, and so on.
She also beat several maids to death and prevented the third prince from taking concubines and touching other women.
These things came out one after another, which also disgusted everyone who listened.
Because of their preconceived impressions, everyone clapped their hands and cheered after hearing the result.
Especially the women who had been harmed by Fu Wenzheng. After hearing the news, some even cried with joy, shouting: “Retribution, this is retribution, you deserve it!”
An hour later, the eunuch who was ordered to announce the decree went to the third prince’s residence.
Fu Wenzheng, who was already tired and sullen with Liang Hengxiao, received the imperial edict.
Her face was filled with disbelief, how could this be possible?
Demoting the main wife to a concubine was simply a shame for her.
