534 It was over
Liang Yujun was not surprised by Father Ruan’s request to see him.
He wiped his mouth with a handkerchief. “Take him to the front hall and wait.”
“Yes!” 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 didn’t dare to.
He bowed respectfully. “Greetings, Your Highness!”
Liang Yujun walked to the head of the table and sat down. “What’s the matter? ”
Father Ruan’s face was full of smiles.
“My daughter has been talking about Your Highness at home, so I came to ask when you would get someone to pick her up.”
His daughter couldn’t 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, “Didn’t she tell you why I wanted to send her back to her mother’s home?”
When Father Ruan heard this, he realized that things were different from what he had expected.
“She said that she had a small conflict with Your Highness, so she went back to her mother’s house to stay for a while,” he said truthfully.
Liang Yujun blew on his tea and took a sip. “Small conflict? She even dared to say that.
“I sent her back to her home because she has already lost her position as a princess. To be precise, I divorced her.
“What right does she have to return to my residence?”
Her father was shocked. “What? She’s been divorced.”
How was this possible? Didn’t His Highness pamper his daughter to the heavens?
His daughter had been acting recklessly and arrogantly before, but Prince Jin had always indulged her.
“That’s right, we’ve divorced!” Liang Yujun said.
“She committed a crime in Heyang County. If it wasn’t for me, she and her vicious daughter would have been in jail or exiled.
“Divorcing her is already a light punishment.”
He briefly explained how Ruan Songling and her daughter had ordered people to set fire to Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo.
“As 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.
“I’ve already asked the housekeeper to check Ruan Songling’s private property and all the gold and silver jewelry. It’s not enough to repair the road.
“My people have calculated. After taking out Ruan Songling’s money, your family still has to fork out 300, 000 taels of silver.
“I had originally sent someone to inform you to gather the money as soon as possible in the next few days. Now that you’ve come here yourself, you should quickly get this matter done.”
When he sent Ruan Songling home, he deliberately didn’t 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 Mingmin’s 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 two’s 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 didn’t expect this to happen.
His legs turned to jelly and he knelt on the ground immediately. “Your Highness, your princess consort didn’t do it on purpose. She knows she’s in the wrong. Please forgive her this time.
“When I go back, I’ll definitely make her learn what she shouldn’t be doing as a female and make her a qualified princess so that she won’t make such a mistake again.”
Liang Yujun immediately threw the teacup in his hand at Father Ruan. ‘What princess consort? She’s just a b * tch that I have divorced.”
Father Ruan didn’t dare to dodge.
Even with his fat body, he couldn’t avoid it.
Therefore, even though his face was smashed and his body was soaked in hot water, he gritted his teeth and didn’t dare to cry out.
Liang Yujun stood up and snorted coldly. “Usually, she’s throwing her weight around in the royal residence, but I can’t even be bothered with her.
“But 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.
“Do you think that my residence can still accommodate them?”
He walked in front of Father Ruan and looked down at him.
“If the Ruan family doesn’t send over 300,000 taels in 10 days, your entire family will be exiled.
“I will mean it. If you don’t believe me, you can try.”
Father Ruan didn’t expect Prince Jin, who was always kind and friendly, to change like this.
After hearing Prince Jin’s 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 didn’t 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 wouldn’t 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 butler’s 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 didn’t 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 butler’s 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 bird’s nest while she expressed her displeasure about why this wasn’t the most precious type of bird’s nest.
Seeing this, Father Ruan was even angrier. He walked in with a face full of anger.
Mother Ruan glanced at him. “What’s wrong with you, old master? If you want to throw a tantrum, then go out. Those who don’t know might think that you’re not happy that your daughter has returned to home.”
Ever since she had her daughter’s 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 couldn’t stand his wife riding on his head.
He couldn’t help but walk over and slap her.
“The good daughter you raised is so shameless.”
