Song Yaozhu's gaze was cold and stern, but the servants in the courtyard did not stop because of Lin's cries.

Song Yaozhu only slowly raised her hand after the two men had been beaten until their faces were like pig heads and their mouths were full of blood.

The servants, having received a signal, stopped and released the two men. They were already dizzy and their ears were ringing from the beating. As soon as they were released, they collapsed to the ground like tattered sacks.

Lin never expected Song Yaozhu to be so ruthless, showing no regard for her dignity and beating her like this.

Song Yaozhu glanced at the two men with prejudice and said, "The consequences of sowing discord between me and my mother are just like these two!"

Not only the people in the Prince's mansion, but also the other servants brought by Madam Lin were terrified and kept silent.

They even dared to hit the dowry maids who accompanied the lady, let alone these people!

With red eyes, Lin fled in disarray with her entourage. She looked as if she had suffered a great humiliation, her face flushed and pale.

Even after Madam Lin left, Granny Qin was still very worried.

"Your Highness, what if people outside spread rumors that you are unfilial?"

Being unfilial is a serious crime; once that label is attached to someone, even an emperor would be in serious trouble.

"What's there to be afraid of?" Song Yaozhu wasn't worried at all. "I didn't grow up by my mother's side anyway, so no matter what I do, I won't satisfy her."

Granny Qin immediately understood Song Yaozhu's meaning and went out to take care of the matter.

When Song Qingyuan learned that his mother had come home crying, he immediately went to see her. Seeing his mother's eyes, which were as red as walnuts from crying, and then looking at the swollen faces of the old nanny and the head maid behind her, which were unrecognizable, he thought of the humiliation he had suffered at Xie Liwei's hands.

This couple is absolutely outrageous!

Forcing him to divorce his wife was bad enough, but now they even dare to beat up the people around his mother!

After comforting his mother, he returned to his own courtyard. Luo Fu had already received the divorce papers, and the two had registered their marriage at the government office. However, Luo Fu made an excuse that she had a lot of belongings and needed to pack them slowly, and that her family would never allow her to return to live there. She wanted to stay at the Song residence for a while until she found a place to live before leaving.

Although Song Qingyuan was annoyed that she had embarrassed him, the matter was over, and Luo Fu's softened attitude in pleading with him pleased him, so he agreed.

Luo Fu was quite surprised to see him return in a rage. She went to greet him anxiously and asked what had happened.

Song Qingyuan had noticed the changes in Luo Fu these past few days. Compared to her previous assertiveness, she had become gentle and considerate. This gave Song Qingyuan a sense of satisfaction, like conquering a fierce beast, and he found Luo Fu increasingly pleasing to the eye.

Therefore, even though he had given her the letter of divorce, he still stayed with her.

"The Prince and his wife are truly despicable!" He recounted what he had witnessed at his mother's place. "My mother merely slapped an old servant, yet Song Yaozhu actually slapped my mother's personal maid for that servant! How is that any different from slapping my mother's face!"

Luo Fu was very surprised to hear this, and then her beautiful eyes darted around.

"Husband, since my sister is so inconsiderate, she should be taught a lesson." She whispered a few words in Song Qingyuan's ear, and Song Qingyuan's lips slowly turned up.

"You're right, that couple should suffer a bit!" Song Qingyuan put his arm around Luo Fu's waist and pulled her onto his lap, feeling that he had done a good job divorcing his wife! He had extinguished Luo Fu's arrogance and taught her how to please him.

Song Qingyuan felt that a woman like Luo Fu might be a bit unpleasant to marry as a principal wife, but she would be quite good as a concubine.

"You're so sensible, I can't bear to let you leave." Song Qingyuan kissed the top of her head.

Luo Fu smiled, but her smile was somewhat stiff.

Hmph, she will never let those who betrayed her get away with it!

The news that Song Yaozhu had angered her biological mother, Lin, and sent her back to the Song family home spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital. It seems that many people despise this "unfilial daughter".

"Madam Song kindly went to take care of her health, but she didn't appreciate it at all. I heard she even slapped Madam Song's personal maid! How is that any different from slapping her own mother!"

"Good heavens! The princess wouldn't do such a thing, would she?"

"Why not! They're from the countryside, they don't know anything about etiquette and rules. Even if they fly to the top of a tree, they'll never become a phoenix!"

"That's right! I heard that Madam Song's eyes are all swollen from crying!"

"Huh? What you heard is different from what I heard!" someone interjected in surprise. "I heard it last night. It was the maid who served Madam Song. She looked down on the princess's background and was always trying to sow discord between the princess and her biological mother. The princess caught her in the act and slapped both of them!"

"Really?"

"My uncle's third aunt works in the Prince's mansion. She was the one who slapped him. How could it be fake?"

"That's understandable. After all, the princess wasn't raised by the first wife, so whatever she does will displease the first wife. Plus, with villains stirring things up, how can the mother and daughter have a good relationship!"

"Yes, yes, wasn't it because Miss Song didn't want to marry that the Princess had to marry in her place? They say both the palm and the back of the hand are flesh, but there's a difference between the two."

"Speaking of this, if I were the princess, I would also be heartbroken. She made me do things that my sister didn't want to do. Although she has finally made it through the ordeal, the prince's reputation was in such a bad state back then... I don't even know if I would have survived after marrying him!"

"Yes, yes, it's good for Madam Song to cry. Crying out all the water in her brain will prevent her from being deceived by that cunning servant."

"To be honest, the Song family isn't exactly a good family either. You've all seen what's happened recently, and I personally think that Madam Song is definitely more at fault. I don't think the Princess Consort is at fault!"

“I also think the princess is perfectly fine. After marrying Prince Xiaoyao, she has done so many good deeds! She set up a soup kitchen under the Jokhang Temple, and even in this sweltering heat, she specially put ice in their stall for passersby to cool off. Even beggars can get a cup of mung bean soup to relieve the heat. How could such a good girl be unfilial? It must be those two wicked servants who have gone too far!”

Such words circulated among the common people, and when they reached Luo Fu's ears, she was so angry that she vomited blood.

I almost forgot, she can slander people through rumors, but the Prince of Xiaoyao's Mansion is not short of money, so it can also bribe people to change the direction of rumors.

Even after her plan failed, Luo Fu still couldn't swallow her anger.

If it weren't for the Prince and his wife, she wouldn't have been divorced!

Since the charge of filial impiety won't work, let's change it. What should we change it to?

Suddenly, an idea struck her, and she whispered a few words to her maid. The maid looked surprised, "Madam, what if we do this and the Prince of Xiaoyao retaliates?"

They've seen firsthand the methods of the Carefree King!

Luo Fu's beautiful eyes were filled with excited red light. She sneered, "Since I'm already in this situation, what do I have to be afraid of?"
