Chapter 254 – Two Dogs Fighting! (1/2)
Chapter 254: Two dogs fighting!
The Palace Hall of thought.
The Emperor of West Wind, Chu Xianda, was correcting doc.u.ments while Chamberlain Li Fu was pouring tea at the side.
Chu Xianda stopped writing with his crimson red brush and said in a bored voice: “Li Fu, any strange things happened recently? Tell me some stories to relieve my tiredness.”
Li Fu knew that His Majesty was starting to get tired again, timely brought over a cup of ginseng tea of the perfect temperature and said with a smile: “Your Majesty, if you want to hear some strange things, there really is an interesting story. I heard Zhou s.h.i.+lang of the Ministry of Rites secretly has a mistress and that mistress got pregnant. This news made Minister Zhou really happy. There are three forms of unfilial conduct, but the worst is to not produce an offspring. Zhou Minister had hoped for a son for many years.”
“Not sure how this matter spread to Lady Zhou's ear, but Lady Zhou and her family rushed to the mistresses house, yelling and screaming and in the end the mistress had a miscarriage. Minister Zhou was furious and wanted to divorce his wife. Madam Zhou obviously disagreed, shouting down the street that Minister Zhou is ungrateful like Chan Saimei. It is said that it was the woman's family that helped him raised money to go to the capital and to take the imperial examinations. Now that he is wealthy he is going to divorce the woman and marry another——Everyone is watching their little show.”
Chu Xianda laughed. “Zhou Pingan is a hapless fellow; he finally has a son, but was ruined by a bad-tempered and aggressive woman, it must be hard for him to take——”
“Who says it isn't?” Li Fu also grinned.
“Then what are they going do?”
“What else? Deadlock. One wants to divorce and the other does not agree; would it be so easy to solve?”
“What a shrew——” Chu Xianda smiled.
Just then, a little palace eunuch appeared at the doorway of the Palace Hall of Thought.
Li Fu glanced outside and scurried out.
The little palace eunuch kept his head low as he reported and then immediately left. Li Fu scampered over to Chu Xianda's side. “Your Majesty, you still want to hear some strange things? A strange thing just happened now.”
“Oh, tell me?” Chu Xianda took a sip of tea and said loudly.
“Because of some matters among their children, the Cui and the Lu families clashed.”
“Huh?”
The young master of the Lu family had a conflict with a group of children of the Cui family. Soul Haunting Whip Luo Xu taught the children of the Cui family a lesson. Then, Cui family's Heart Buddha Ning Xinhai appeared, so the two exchanged blows and now n.o.ble Minister's Gu Mo brought over a group of Cui family generals and the City Patrol Division led by Li Kefeng also brought along many people——Now the two sides are in a standoff.”
Chu Xianda laughed coldly. “When a dog bites a dog, each gets a mouthful of fur. At the foot of the emperor, they dare to be so lawless. Do they even respect me the emperor?”
“Your Majesty——” Li Fu lowered his head even more. “Do you want to send an imperial edict over?”
“No need.” Chu Xianda waved dismissively. “Let them bite. The two dogs are fighting and there will be one wounded. Let them bite properly, that will save my strength.”
“Yes.” Li Fu answered——
Yan mansion.
“Have you heard? The Cui and the Lu family are fighting? The two families sent out their elites——”
Li family.
“I already knew a fierce battle would happen between the two families, just did not expect to be so quickly. Who do you think has a higher chance of winning? What are we going to go?”
The Song family.
“If something is meant to be happening, it's meant to be, but how will it develop? Don't worry, just keep quiet and slowly watch.”
