Su Ruoxin, originally the Young Miss of Prefect Lin’s family in Yan Yang, grew up with Old Madam Lin in the mansion, unloved by her father and mother.
Until Prefect Lin found his biological d...
Tao Zhengyu's eyes were firm. "Please rest assured, father-in-law and mother-in-law, Father will definitely give the Wu family an explanation for what Mother has done. The Tao family has an ancestral temple, which is very suitable for Mother to recuperate. From now on, the Tao family's backyard will be managed by Yun'er."
This statement is tantamount to sending Lady Tao to the family temple to practice Buddhism.
For someone as materialistic as Madam Tao, this punishment was severe enough.
Unlike General Wu, Lord Tao had several concubines in addition to his wife, and these concubines had also given birth to his illegitimate sons and daughters.
However, since those illegitimate sons and daughters were not as talented as Tao Zhengyu, Tao Rong did not pay much attention to them and focused on cultivating Tao Zhengyu from a young age.
Tao Zhengyu's words carried no less weight in the Tao family than Tao Rong's. His words were tantamount to confirming Yun'er's status as the matriarch of the Tao family.
"And what about your mistress?" Wu Ziyun's words carried a hint of resentment.
"She's just an actress I hired," Tao Zhengyu replied. Since he was going to put on a show anyway, hiring an actress would be more convincing.
“But you often stay in the outer room.” Wu Ziyun still felt uncomfortable.
"Yun'er, that courtyard has more than one room." Tao Zhengyu's words explained everything.
Wu Yue sighed, "Yun'er, Zheng Yu did this because we had discussed it beforehand, but I never expected your mother-in-law to force Zheng Yu to divorce you like this."
Wu Yue naturally knew that the mistress was a fake. He was angry that Tao Zhengyu had actually divorced Yun'er, and he also heard from Su Ruojin that after the divorce, Madam Tao actually wanted to get back Yun'er's dowry.
He couldn't possibly go and hit Madam Tao, so he could only take his anger out on Tao Zhengyu.
Now, hearing Tao Zhengyu's explanation of how he would deal with Madam Tao, his anger subsided by half.
Madam Wu also said that it was Tao Zhengyu who insisted on sending the dowry back, and her anger had subsided considerably.
"Zhengyu, what are your plans to get Yun'er back to the Tao family?"
"I will certainly renew the betrothal and bring Yun'er back in a grand sedan chair!" Tao Zhengyu looked intently at Wu Ziyun, wanting everyone to see him marry Yun'er in a magnificent manner.
Although they had already been married once, Wu Ziyun couldn't help but blush when she met Tao Zhengyu's gaze.
Everything has cleared up after the storm.
Upon hearing that Tao Zhengyu was going to see Su Ruojin the next day, Wu Ziyun decided to go with him to express her sincere gratitude to the princess who had saved her family.
After getting up and washing up, Su Ruojin wanted to go directly to see Tao Zhengyu and the others, but Xiao Yanchu stopped her.
"Ah Jin, don't rush, have some breakfast first, it won't take much time."
Yanluo and a maidservant walked in carrying a tray.
The tray contains lotus seed porridge with hibiscus, auspicious cake, jade lotus leaf cake, crystal shrimp dumplings, honey-glazed barbecued pork buns, celery and lily bulbs, ginseng and chicken soup, and white fungus soup.
Yanluo quickly placed the food on the table and ladled a bowl of porridge for Su Ruojin and Xiao Yanchu, placing it on the table as well.
Su Ruojin looked at the food on the table and said, "There's so much food, how can we possibly finish it all?"
Xiao Yanchu picked up his chopsticks, took out a shrimp dumpling, and fed it to her. "You didn't eat much yesterday, and you've been working so hard lately, so you should eat more."
This was because Xiao Yanchu had simplified the dishes in Xiaoyue, planning to give Ajin a proper nourishing meal when they returned to Da Chu. He noticed that Ajin had lost some weight recently.
"Tell Young Master Tao and Miss Wu to wait a moment. The Queen and I will come over after we finish our breakfast," Xiao Yanchu instructed Hu Qing.
Hu Qing accepted the order and withdrew.
Tao Zhengyu and Wu Ziyun felt a little embarrassed, realizing they had arrived too early and disturbed the prince and princess's rest.
Feeling bad about keeping people waiting, Su Ruojin quickly finished her breakfast and went to the front hall with Xiao Yanchu.
"Greetings, Your Highness and Your Highness."
