The queen is spoiling the king and madly criticizing him for spoiling her

Chapter 406 I Feel They Are Scolding Me

"Unless Achu doesn't want me anymore." Xie Ci'an's voice became a little low when he said the last part.

After hearing Xie Ci'an's words, Gu Jianchu's mood barely improved. He looked at Xie Ci'an with a gentle smile and patted the back of Xie Ci'an's hand casually, "How could this concubine bear to abandon the emperor?"

Because of Gu Jianchu's words, Xie Ci'an was instantly calmed down.

While the emperor and empress were being affectionate, Mr. Zhang and Madam Zhang were still arguing.

"If you hadn't suggested buying a woman to give birth to a child for me, would I run to her yard every day? Don't I want her to get pregnant as soon as possible?" Mr. Zhang explained with some guilt.

Upon hearing this, Madam Zhang couldn't help but sneer, "Don't give such high-sounding explanations. I don't know you anymore. You just don't like me anymore. You like younger and prettier girls. That's why you run around other people's yards every day. The reason you haven't proposed taking a concubine is because you're afraid that I won't agree, and you'll be kicked out again and won't be able to inherit our family business. You really make me sick."

Now that the couple has broken up, Mrs. Zhang started cursing without caring about anything.

"I didn't. The reason I ran to her yard was to see the child. After all, it's our child. Is it wrong for me to care a little more? Don't think I don't know what you did to Zhang Ran behind my back. You wanted a child, but you didn't want me to touch Zhang Ran. When you got jealous, you went crazy and called Zhang Ran over and tortured her. If that's the case, you shouldn't have brought up such an idea then. Now that she's here, you're jealous again."

"I did suggest that we adopt a child from a branch family and raise him from a young age. That way, he would be close to us and could inherit the family fortune. But you were afraid and didn't want us to embezzle your property. You said it was against our ancestors to adopt him from your family, and you didn't want to take a concubine. You also didn't want to find another woman to bear children. Why did I marry a jealous woman like you?"

"See, see, you finally told the truth. You have long regretted marrying me. The reason you married me was just because you were interested in our family's property." Mrs. Zhang pounced on and started to tear Mr. Zhang apart. Soon, Mr. Zhang's face was scratched several times.

The others just watched quietly, no one stepped forward to stop the fight. The housekeeper and the little maid who were kneeling beside them moved aside imperceptibly, fearing that the two would continue to hide and bring disaster to the fish pond.

Mr. Zhang, who had been scratched several times, raised his hand to touch his bloody and stinging face. He immediately pushed Mrs. Zhang aside in anger and said, "Have you had enough of making trouble? You did it yourself, and now you regret it and blame me. If you regret it, you shouldn't have suggested this in the first place. You are really a crazy woman."

Although Mrs. Zhang was fierce, she was ultimately no match for a man in strength. When Mr. Zhang pushed her hard, Mrs. Zhang was pushed backward by inertia, and her elbow hit the stool next to her. The pain instantly made Mr. Zhang grimace.

[Tsk tsk tsk, when you are in love, it is sweet and happy, but when you are not in love, it is all over the place.]

Xie Ci'an picked up a teacup and threw it at them. The two people who were crying and making noises were instantly silenced. "What do you think this place is? You think it's your backyard. You can quarrel and make noise whenever you want."

Seeing the emperor get angry, not to mention the people kneeling on the ground, even the palace maids serving beside the emperor and empress fell silent instantly, not daring to make any extra noise.

Is it true that Madam Zhang cannot get pregnant? Or is there another reason?

After all, he had heard of many cases where the husband was unable to have children or did not want his wife to have children. When he heard the two quarreling and mentioned the family property many times, Gu Jianchu couldn't help but think too much.

This time, it turned out to be Madam Zhang's infertility. They had been trying to have a child since their marriage, but hadn't conceived. So, they had consulted many renowned doctors, and Madam Zhang had taken numerous traditional Chinese medicines, but to no avail. During this time, Mr. Zhang hadn't mentioned taking a concubine, but had suggested adopting a child from a side branch, hoping this would alleviate some of Madam Zhang's stress.

However, instead of relieving Mrs. Zhang's stress, this made her even more sensitive. She felt her husband was trying to adopt a child from a branch family to take possession of her family property, which is why he resorted to such a perverted method.

[All things considered, Mr. Zhang wasn't a particularly bad person, especially when it came to Madam Zhang. At least he mentioned taking a concubine when Madam Zhang hadn't conceived for so many years. After all, compared to buying a child or adopting one from a side branch, taking a concubine was the most direct option. After all, it wasn't that Mr. Zhang was infertile.]

Since there was nothing else to say, Gu Jianchu stopped paying attention to this question and turned to look at the people kneeling on the ground. "I didn't expect that you all confessed everything before I even asked. It really saved me a lot of effort. Besides this, what else do you want to confess?"

After hearing what Gu Jianchu said, Mrs. Zhang and Mr. Zhang finally realized that they had blurted out everything in their quarrel. However, it was too late to regret now. Not only the emperor and empress had heard it, but everyone had heard it. They did not dare to change their story in front of the emperor and empress. They had heard of the punishments of the Imperial City Division. If they were really thrown into the Imperial City Division, they would be skinned alive even if they did not die.

Mr. Zhang's mind raced, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, we want to buy a woman to help us bear a child, but the primary responsibility for the human trafficking lies with Mr. Zhang. If they don't sell us, we won't buy."

Madam Zhang was no pushover, and she immediately started arguing with Mr. Zhang. "What do you mean you won't buy if we don't sell? If you hadn't deliberately leaked the news and offered us so much money, why would we have sold women? How can you be so shameless? Now you want to put all the blame on us. Do you really think the Queen is unreasonable? You can say whatever you want."

Mr. Zhang was a businessman after all, so his mind worked quickly. He quickly realized the meaning of Mrs. Zhang's words and immediately lowered his body in fear. "Your Majesty, please understand. I absolutely did not say that you are unreasonable."

Gu Jianchu looked hesitantly at the people kneeling on the ground.

Why do I feel like I'm being scolded, and the scolding is so dirty?

"I feel like they are scolding me." Gu Jianchu not only thought so, but also turned to look at Xie Ci'an with a complaining tone.

Not saying that she is unreasonable, isn't that just saying that she is unreasonable?

Xie Ci'an also heard it and slapped the table, "How dare you say that the Queen is unreasonable? When has the Queen ever been unreasonable?"
