A daughter from a prominent family is desired by many, yet the daughter of the Yong family is sought by none. Noble families consider her nouveau riche and vulgar, while scholarly houses pride them...
Three lifetimes wasted!
Zhao Bi was a clever man, and he immediately echoed his opinion, sternly criticizing Sun Yun. Other court officials also stepped forward to express their own opinions, it was unclear where their intelligence had gone.
Sun Yun was suddenly pushed out, and she was a little stunned. She looked back at the side door that had been closed, and her heart was filled with mixed feelings. She never expected that Huo Baichuan would scheme against her!
It happened so suddenly that she wasn't prepared at all, and didn't even know what to say. She silently walked to the center of the hall, knelt down, and begged for forgiveness.
However, the ministers' voices were too noisy, and her voice was drowned out by a chorus of accusations.
They only gradually stopped when Zhang Chu shouted, "Quiet!"
Hao Shumei was also a smart woman. She knew what Sun Yunlai was up to, but she wasn't afraid. Even if it meant wiping out the entire Hao family, she would drag her enemy down to hell.
After the ministers quieted down, she was about to speak when Sun Yun interrupted her, raising her voice: "This humble woman has something to report, and I beg Your Majesty to grant my request!"
Her voice was extremely loud and clear, reaching the ears of every minister.
After Xie Yun and others resigned from their posts, it seemed that most of the people in the court were Zhao Bi's men. However, Zhao Bi was now a discarded pawn and had no chance of gaining any advantage. Meanwhile, the Sun family faded out of the court and appeared to be living in seclusion. Although the woman was in charge, she gradually maintained the family's status and developed better and better. Therefore, many ministers wanted to befriend the Sun family.
When she spoke, many ministers were very respectful and did not interrupt, tacitly acknowledging that Sun Yunyou was on the same level as them.
The Empress Dowager pondered for a moment, then said calmly, "What is it? Speak."
Sun Yun didn't know how to start the conversation. Several times she tried to say something, but she swallowed it back. She really didn't know how to put her words into words.
If she speaks her mind, her reputation will be ruined, the Sun family will be in turmoil again, and the bad reputation will follow her for the rest of her life.
Furthermore, how could she face Zhao Shu? How could she live up to this friendship, and how could she surpass the memory of the deceased Jiang Ying?
How will she live her life from now on? How will her children face a mother like her? Will Prince Yong accept her?
But if I don't say it, I'll be betraying my own conscience.
Which is more important: reputation, future, or feelings?
