497 In your dreams
Prince Jin’s words stunned Shi Qingluo.
Didn’t they say that Prince Jin’s princess consort was Prince Jin’s true love?
Was this what true love was? He must be teasing her.
She didn’t expect Prince Jin to give up his princess consort just like that. It seemed like he had already decided to do so.
She looked at her young husband and found that he also looked a little surprised.
The two of them weren’t the only ones surprised. Even Liang Yulin hadn’t expected Liang Yujun to pull off such a move.
Whether it was the news from the capital or from Northern City, it all suggested that Liang Yujun doted on Prince Jin’s princess consort very much, even to the extent of indulging her.
He was even more supportive of his princess consort’s maternal family, as much as he loved his wife.
He didn’t look like someone who would divorce his wife.
He looked at Liang Yujun and saw that he did not seem to be in the slightest bit of pain or pity, as if he was handling this in a systematic way.
Based on his understanding of Liang Yujun, there was an 80 – 90% chance that this guy had long wanted to divorce his wife, and today was just an excuse.
He also brought along the idea of placing righteousness before family, doing Xiao Hanzheng and his wife a favor, and also saving the reputation of his princess consort and her daughter.
This guy was indeed cunning, and his brain was just as sick as before.
He raised his eyebrows. “Imperial brother, what kind of explanation is this? ”
Shi Qingluo looked at Prince Jin. “Your Highness, divorcing the princess consort is your family matter. This has nothing to do with us. ”
She could also see Prince Jin’s plan, but why did they have to go along with him?
She wasn’t afraid of Prince Jin’s princess consort and her daughter.
It was good that Prince Jin had these brainless pig-like teammates by his side.
If they divorced, the retribution they would suffer wouldn’t be bad.
Hence, it didn’t really affect them regardless of whether Prince Jin divorced his wife.
Prince Jin wanted to use this as compensation, but it was too insignificant.
She felt that he had already wanted to divorce her, but he still wanted to find an excuse to take advantage of them. In his dreams.
However, Prince Jin’s princess consort was really a joke.
She used to think that she was Prince Jin’s true love.
However, if she was his true love, then the words ‘true love’ would be tainted.
Liang Yujun had not expected Shi Qingluo to say something like that.
He had always thought that she would be very satisfied and happy when he divorced his wife and demoted her daughter.
He ignored Liang Yulin and looked at Shi Qingluo, “You’re not satisfied with my decision?”
Shi Qingluo shrugged his shoulders. “Your Highness’s divorce has nothing to do with me, so there’s no such thing as whether I’m satisfied or dissatisfied.
She gave him a look that said, “You have misunderstood me too much. After all, it’s against the law for the princess consort to hire an assassin to kill others. This doesn’t seem to have much to do with you divorcing your wife.”
If they broke the law and he could just divorce his wife, where was the significance of the law?
Liang Yujun choked. “Then what do you want to do?”
“Handle it according to the penal code.” Shi Qingluo replied.
“Or let your princess consort and Ordinary County Princess make up for their mistakes.”
“How?” Liang Yujun asked, raising an eyebrow.
It wasn’t that he wanted to protect Ruan Songling, but if he dealt with them according to the law, they would have to go to jail or be exiled.
Regardless of whether his princess consort was sent to jail or exiled, it was slapping his face.
If he agreed, he would become a laughingstock in Daliang.
This would even affect his Army’s morale.
Shi Qingluo knew that Prince Jin wouldn’t let his princess consort be punished by the law, so she didn’t want to force him to do so.
After all, even a rabbit would bite when forced into a corner, not to mention that Prince Jin was a wolf.
“Ever since the princess consort and Ordinary County Princess came here, they’ve either been targeting us or the commoners,” she said.
“So, since they have to compensate, then they should focus on compensating the commoners.
“As long as the princess consort and Ordinary County Princess spend their own money to build a cement road from Heyang County to the capital, this matter will be settled.”
A county had to build roads before it could gain wealth.
However, building roads in the modern world was very costly, let alone in ancient times.
Of course, if she could extort money from Prince Jin and his wife, she would.
Building a road from Heyang County to the capital would not only drive the economy of Heyang County, but it would also gradually revive the economy of the northern border.
They only needed to build roads from other places to connect with this cement road.
So this road was equivalent to the road leading directly to the capital.
The most important thing was that this request was just right at Prince Jin’s bottom line.
He would definitely agree to it.
Perhaps Prince Jin would be happy to do so.
She always felt that he seemed to hate his princess consort.
The love he had for her in the past was more like an act.
Moreover, they would not fall out with Prince Jin and he would still try to win her and her husband over.
This was the only way to complete the emperor’s order to deal with Prince Jin and search for the treasures from the previous dynasty.
Other than Xiao Hanzheng, no one else present had expected Shi Qingluo to make such a request.
When the commoners outside heard this, they were all extremely grateful. Madam was really too good.
She was still thinking about the commoners even in such a situation.
Liang Yujun was also very surprised.
He thought that Shi Qingluo would take the opportunity to make some request that would benefit her.
Although it was expensive to build a road to the capital, it was also beneficial to his reputation.
Ruan Songling had saved up a lot of money over the years, and her brothers from her maternal family had also used Prince Jin’s residence to get a lot of money.
Since she would be dealt with, of course, he had to make her and her family suffer a lot.
However, it was not appropriate for him to do such a thing.
After all, they had been married for so many years.
If he were to be ruthless in his spending, not only would it affect his reputation, but he was also afraid that the people who supported him would feel disappointed.
Shi Qingluo’s suggestion hit him right on the mark.
Moreover, building a proper cement road to the capital would also benefit him to lead his troops into the capital in the future.
Without much hesitation, he nodded and said, “Alright, this is what my princess consort and her daughter should compensate with.”
He then looked at Xiao Hanzheng. “Get someone to calculate how much silver is needed. I will make sure that Mdm Ruan and her maternal family take out this amount of silver to compensate you and the people.
He directly called the princess consort Mdm Ruan, which also meant that he still wanted to divorce her.
Moreover, Prince Jin’s residence would not fork out this sum of money.
Xiao Hanzheng cupped his hands at Prince Jin. “Your Royal Highness, you’re just!”
He was really good at prioritizing his righteousness over his family.
However, his little wife was even more impressive.
If anyone else heard that Prince Jin wanted to divorce his wife, he would definitely be shocked and be led astray by Prince Jin.
This time, not only did she deal with Prince Jin’s princess consort and her daughter, but she also made them bleed a lot.
Even if Prince Jin salvaged his reputation, it was pretty much ruined.
He was still very satisfied with the result.
When Prince Jin and Xiao Hanzheng discussed the compensation, Ruan Songling, who was standing at the side, finally recovered from her disbelief.
“Liang Yujun, you’re going to divorce me?” She asked Prince Jin, still in a daze.
She had never thought that one day, he would abandon her in public.
This time, Liang Yujun did not hide the disgust in his eyes. “Whether it’s your character or your way of doing things, how are you like a princess consort? ”
“I also didn’t expect you to be like this, and even taught our legitimate daughter to be so arrogant and vicious.
“I have been deceived by you in the past. Now that I know of your bad character, I naturally can not let you continue to be the princess consort.
“Otherwise, how are you going to explain it to the people you’ve harmed? How are you going to explain it to the people?” he said in a righteous tone.
Ruan Songling took a few steps back, as if this was the first time she had met Liang Yujun.
How could he do this to her?

How could he do this to her?
