After the daughter was treated harshly by her family, everyone knelt down and begged for forgiveness

Chapter 1012 Don’t Cherish Me

Gu Mengzhen's doting is unclear and his tolerance is unlimited.

"Okay, okay, Rui'er is right. I'm just making excuses."

"Good Rui'er, don't be angry. Anger is harmful to your health."

Zhuang Rui became arrogant because of his favor.

"Uncle Huang admits to making excuses, which is tantamount to admitting that he doesn't value me."

"My nephew's anger is difficult to appease."

Gu Mengzhen has no temper at all, he only dotes on others.

"Okay, I was wrong. I used the wrong words."

Zhuang Rui was still not satisfied.

"I dare not, I am terrified."

Gu Mengzhen changed his method to coax and persuade his beloved nephew.

"If I continue to coax her like this, there will be no end to it, and it will be useless."

"Why don't you tell me who made you angry? I'll teach him a lesson for you."

Zhuang Rui was unhappy.

"Two people, they make me unhappy."

Gu Mengzhen readily agreed.

"Two of you, that's easy. I'll teach them both a lesson."

"Tell me, who is it?"

Zhuang Rui answered.

"It's my father and my eldest brother."

Gu Mengzhen was embarrassed.

"Uh……"

Zhuang Rui frowned and glared.

"Why is Uncle Huang silent?"

"Aren't you partial to these two and disregarding my nephew's feelings?"

Gu Mengzhen's patience remained undiminished.

"As a family, we should live in harmony."

"Rui'er is magnanimous and will surely forgive them even the slightest fault."

"I'm not partial to them, but I trust you. After all, my Rui'er is the most sensible child in the world."

Zhuang Rui is filled with resentment.

"You're always partial, and you never admit it."

Gu Mengzhen's rebuttal was reasonable and logical.

"Look at you, you always misunderstand."

"Dear Rui'er, if you are angry, come to me. I am willing to bear it."

"I'm not partial, I don't want them to suffer; I just feel sorry for you and don't want you to be sad."

Zhuang Rui began to talk half-truthfully.

"Your nephew has..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Gu Mengzhen.

"Wait a moment, Rui'er."

"I almost missed the morning court session while trying to comfort you."

"After the morning court session is over, I'll come back and listen to your complaints, okay?"

Zhuang Rui became depressed upon hearing this.

"Sure enough, wherever I go, I am despised."

"Even Uncle Huang doesn't cherish me."

"No one in this world loves me."

Gu Mengzhen hurriedly explained.

"How could I not love you? I almost gave you my heart."

"Who says there's no one in the world who loves you? We are a family, we love and help each other, and we live in harmony."

"Rui'er must understand my difficulties."

"Delaying the morning court session will easily give people something to talk about, and it will give Prince Di Jin an opportunity to accuse me of not taking my duties seriously and force me to abdicate."

"Once I abdicate, who will protect you?"

He smiled apologetically.

"Have you had breakfast yet? I've asked the imperial kitchen to make you some of your favorite snacks. Will you wait patiently for me to come back?"

Zhuang Rui reluctantly agreed.

"Ok."

Gu Mengzhen gave praise.

"Rui'er is really obedient and more considerate than your father and your elder brother."

"I promise to deal with the affairs of state as soon as possible and come back to accompany you soon."

Zhuang Rui bowed casually.

"Farewell, Uncle Huang."

Gu Mengzhen touched his head, put aside his imperial majesty, and poured tea for his beloved nephew.

"Have your tea first, the snacks will be ready in a while."

He felt deeply guilty for leaving his beloved nephew here alone. He gave him some careful instructions and expressed his concern. It was not until the last moment of the morning court session that he rushed to the main hall.

Speaking out his true feelings might be detrimental to the overall situation, so Zhuang Rui thought about it and decided to leave.

He left a message to Xiao Shenzi, telling him not to bother the imperial kitchen, and Zhuang Rui left the palace.

The loss was only momentary. Zhuang Rui adjusted his mood and arrived at the governor's office in advance to take his wife back home.

As the busy work hours were about to end, Teng Elan received a divorce mediation case.

The second one, the husband's name is Zhang Yu and the wife's name is Dan Yao.

Teng E'lan received the two and asked them to take a seat.

"You two, what's the conflict? Why do you want a divorce?"

Dan Yao was speechless and just shed tears.

Zhang Yu was angry.

"Her family is a marriage scam!"

Teng Elan was calm.

"Please describe the details."

Zhang Yu was talking in a lively voice and spoke freely.

"Before we got married, we agreed that she would provide the dowry and I would not provide the betrothal gift."

"In addition, she promised to falsely claim that my family's betrothal gift was generous, so that my family and I wouldn't be embarrassed in front of relatives and friends."

"Lord Teng must be aware that these days, it's rare to find a woman who is willing to offer a dowry, not ask for a betrothal gift, and still give her husband's family enough face, right?"

Teng Elan is serious but also friendly.

"No need to ask me, just keep talking."

Zhang Yu was eloquent and eloquent.

"I foolishly thought I had met a rare and extraordinary woman in the world."

"I never thought that at today's wedding, her mother-in-law would loudly inform all the guests that my family took advantage of us without paying any betrothal gifts, which made us lose face!"

"She kindly said that unless we immediately pay the betrothal gifts and demand double the dowry, they will definitely make it impossible for us to get married."

"There's no other way. My family has to scrape together enough money to give to her and honor her kindness."

"I originally thought that since she was so kind, her husband, Zunci, must also be of good character, otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to raise such an outstanding daughter."

"I never expected that her, Zunci, would be such a wicked person. It's conceivable that the daughter they gave birth to wouldn't be a good person either!"

After hearing his words, Teng Elan took over.

"Once you have finished speaking, it will be Miss Dan's turn to speak."

Zhang Yu strongly opposed it.

"No, she can't say it!"

"Master Teng, you don't know that she likes to act pitiful and confuse right and wrong."

"Once you hear her statement, you will definitely not believe me."

Teng Elan remained calm and explained the reason.

"One-sided statements should not be trusted."

"This is how the mediation process works. I must listen to both sides before I can make a clear judgment."

"Please cooperate with me, Mr. Zhang."

"Miss Dan, please speak."

Zhang Yu hurriedly called a halt.

"Master Teng, please wait, I haven't finished yet."

Teng Elan smiled and nodded.

"Okay, please speak, young man."

Zhang Yu raised an objection.

"Why do you call her Miss Dan instead of Miss Zhang?"

"We have obtained the marriage certificate and she is my wife."

"Could it be that you, my Lord, have some selfish motives, and have already made up your mind to allow us to separate?"

"Or is it that Your Excellency is prejudiced and thinks I am not worthy of her?"

Teng Elan remained calm.

"The law is set. In case of a mediated divorce, no matter what the outcome, you can only call yourself a member of the family."

"If Young Master Zhang suspects that I am unfair, you can file a complaint with the Yinsitai."

Hearing that he was in the wrong, Zhang Yu admitted defeat.

"I am a humble and uncouth commoner, and I do not know the rules. I beg Master Teng to forgive me."

Teng Elan has a warm look.

"No problem."

"Are you done?"

Zhang Yu was persistent and didn't give his wife a chance to speak.

"Please don't rush me, my lord. I still have many grievances in my heart."

"Marriage fraud is nothing to my family. It's not that we can't afford that little bit of money. We just value a woman's character more, so we use this as a test."

"Besides that, the suffering she has caused me is innumerable. Any other man would never be able to endure it."

Teng Elan is humble.

"Please give me an example, Shaolang."

Zhang Yu was filled with anger and resentment.

"She is arrogant and willful, and she tends to act unreasonably."

"A few days ago, I went to a party with friends, but she refused to let me in. She cried and made a fuss, asking me to go home."

"Out of concern, I asked her the reason, but she gave me an irrelevant answer."

"Actually, I know she cares about that party. My old lover is there too!"
