Cultivation Begins with Caring for Sister-in-law-Chapter 418: Missing a Bit of Flavor

Divorce.

The eunuch’s words were like a bolt from the blue, striking the not-so-strong heart of Prince Huai at this moment.

The facts were as cruel as this: Huai State had been occupied, his concubines had been taken, and now his wife wanted a divorce from him, with the Emperor’s approval.

A Vassal King who holds military power, an Imperial Family descendant, someone whom even Xu Guozhong had to fear; now, he was subjected to such an unprecedented humiliation.

Prince Huai received the decree while sitting, but at this moment, he wobbly stood up, clenching his teeth to the point of breaking; his originally ruddy face was now bulging with veins, an endless feeling of shame and anger erupting like magma.

"Chen Mo, traitor, rebel, vile scoundrel, I will..."

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly spewed a stream of blood from his mouth in a sudden gush.

Under the provocation of anger and humiliation, Prince Huai, who had originally managed to stabilize himself, once again felt the rush of blood, spewing blood as his body fell backward.

"Prince!"

The confidant staff below shouted in surprise, hurriedly ran forward to support him, and barely caught Prince Huai, only to find, to their shock, that he had already fainted.

"Prince, call a doctor, quickly call a doctor..."

The hall erupted into chaos.

...

Prince Huai fainted, but the families of Li, Xiao, and Gan were extremely happy.

Xiao Yunxi divorced Prince Huai.

Her son, Chu Zheng, would certainly be deposed from the position of Crown Prince.

This allowed them to stop hiding and let Prince Huai appoint a new Crown Prince proactively.

They found the three wives and urged them to whisper sweet words into Prince Huai’s ears, to please him.

...

The three wives were initially worried upon hearing that Prince Huai had fainted again, as after all, being married to him for so many years, there was some feeling involved.

However, when they learned that the reason for Prince Huai’s fainting was due to Xiao Yunxi’s divorce, with the Emperor’s approval, their worry turned into joy.

There were feelings, but not much.

As concubines who were not favored, naturally, they valued interests more.

In their joy, the three wives hurried to show off their abilities, dressing up beautifully, preparing some tonics, and seeking Peace Talismans, to visit Prince Huai.

After all, if they could gain Prince Huai’s favor now, they could take the chance to discuss the matter of the Crown Prince’s position.

However, this move by the three wives did not gain any favor; instead, they failed miserably.

When Prince Huai woke up, his mind was filled with anger over Xiao Yunxi’s betrayal. Extremely furious, when he saw the three beautifully dressed wives, the nightmare images from Wuguan flashed in his mind, imagining that the three wives were with Chen Mo...

Prince Huai’s anger was ignited.

Xiao Yunxi was not there.

Prince Huai could only vent his anger on the three wives.

"Get out, get out from my sight, you all irritate me."

"Do you also want to betray me?"

"What is it that Chen Mo has over me?"

"Indecent women, indecent women, indecent women, all go to hell, cough cough cough..."

...

The three wives were directly scolded to tears.

In front of him, they certainly did not dare to talk back.

Returning to their rooms, the three wives vented their grievances.

"It’s Xiao Yunxi who wants to divorce; if you have the ability, go find her, why take it out on me."

"If you had come back earlier, could such a thing have happened?"

...

The two wives, Xiao and Gan, even felt that Xiao Yunxi’s divorce was right at this moment, regretting returning from Wuguan.

Chen Mo is much younger than Prince Huai.

And more capable...

...

Linzhou.

The sky was still early.

The girls in the inner courtyard were getting out of bed one after another, with maids bustling in the corridors.

In Chu Juan’s room.

Under the embroidered bed’s canopy, within the crimson bedding, Chu Juan had already awakened, her little face slightly flushed. Watching Chen Mo and Xiao Yunxi sleeping on the outside, holding each other, the scenes from last night flooded her mind involuntarily.

Yesterday, the news of the Emperor approving Xiao Yunxi’s divorce reached Linzhou.

That evening, Chen Mo brought Xiao Yunxi to her room. The two of them were bullied by Chen Mo in turns, each session left them too exhausted to move.

Especially after knowing that Nanshan was still around, Chen Mo also took Xiao Yunxi to meet with Nanshan.

Chen Mo was awake too, their embrace so tight that it slightly awoke Xiao Yunxi, who was not in a deep sleep.

"Consort, awake?" Chen Mo whispered, kissing Xiao Yunxi’s forehead lightly.

Xiao Yunxi relieved her waking fatigue and said coyly, "I’m no longer Princess Consort Huai, don’t call me consort anymore."

"I’ll call you, I’ll call you, consort, Princess Consort..." Chen Mo, like a playful child, said while building a snowman, "I somewhat regret letting you divorce now."

Xiao Yunxi: "???"

"I feel something’s missing now," Chen Mo said.

"..."

Xiao Yunxi lightly patted Chen Mo’s chest, teasingly, "Not excited now that I’m not a wife, what a pervert."

"Can you be serious for once?" Xiao Yunxi said.

"Where am I not serious, consort..." Chen Mo’s voice deepened as he played with the title.

Xiao Yunxi’s red lips parted slightly, "Are you crazy...you."

Seeing the situation, Chu Juan quickly pretended to be asleep.

But it was too late, and in the end, she didn’t escape Chen Mo’s clutches.

...

After morning exercises, they went to the study where Sun Meng reported, "Marquis, Lord Lin from the Military Equipment Bureau reports that at the Military Workshop, Tian Sheng has already created what you requested. The weather is nice today; would you like to go check it out?"

The department responsible for equipment manufacturing and management is called the Military Equipment Bureau, and its official title is Supervisor.

Upon hearing this, Chen Mo’s eyes gleamed with delight; it was already the end of November.

Tian Sheng said last time it would take a month, now it’s about time.

"Let’s go, check it out."

Without hesitation, Chen Mo took Sun Meng and others and went immediately to the Military Workshop.

In the warehouse of the Military Workshop, Chen Mo saw what he wanted.

Completely pitch black, extremely heavy, according to Tian Sheng, this cannon weighed twenty-five hundred pounds, using more than twenty thousand pounds of steel just for wastage. With a sturdy knock, there was no problem in terms of strength, at least.

The sights and rear sights were added, just missing a carriage.

But now Chen Mo couldn’t test it, because there were no cannonballs yet.

The team for producing gunpowder had just dragged their families from Yu State to Linzhou. It would take at least another month to work out the cannonballs Chen Mo wanted.

"Not bad." Chen Mo nodded, then turned and said, "Sun Meng."

"Present," Sun Meng replied.

"Rewards for all the craftsmen in the Workshop, including the apprentices, heavy rewards." Chen Mo ordered.

"Yes."

"Thank you, Marquis," Tian Sheng hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

Before the cannonballs were completed, Chen Mo could not let them stop working, so he ordered them to make another cannon.

Even if the later test failed, Chen Mo could afford the cost of two cannons.
