Seeing that she looked hurried, Shen Ruyun didn't want to stop her, so she had no choice but to make way for her.
When Song Yue entered, Princess Jia Hua had just woken up. Her face was pale, her hands were clenched into fists, and her whole body was trembling.
“Mother.” Song Yue stepped forward, bent down and whispered in Princess Jia Hua’s ear, “Mother, my brother is not dead. He is in Qin’an. Eighth Imperial Uncle has already led people to welcome him back.”
Princess Jia Hua's eyes lit up, and she looked at Song Yue in disbelief: "Are you serious?"
"Mother, it's true."
Princess Jia Hua wept with joy, her emotions running high as she embraced Song Yue. "A Yue, that's wonderful! When your brother returns, he will never bully you; he will protect you."
Seeing the mother and daughter embracing, Tao couldn't help but be moved. She took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the corners of her eyes: "It's truly a blessing from the Bodhisattva that she's still alive. My sister-in-law has finally overcome all her hardships."
Tao reminded them that the people from Ninghuitang were still being held captive.
"Killing them would be too lenient." Princess Jiahua felt so angry that she wanted to tear the people of the Duke of Jingguo's mansion to pieces, thinking about how her two daughters had been tortured and almost lost their lives.
Song Yue blinked: "Song Yao went to the Zhennan Prince's Mansion and was disliked. Song Hengchuan, no, he doesn't deserve to use his brother's name, he should be Song Mao. He's used to being pampered, so his brother should trample him underfoot. As for Fan Lianyi, let her be a lowly concubine."
For some, killing is a form of liberation.
But who will repay the suffering she and her brother have endured over the years?
"As for the Duke of Jingguo..." Song Yue hesitated.
Princess Jiahua instructed the embroidered book: "Enter the palace and obtain an imperial edict to depose Song Kaifeng from his dukedom."
"yes."
Princess Jiahua tried to get up, but her body was too weak. She forced herself to stand up and saw Shen Ruyun lingering outside. Her eyes darkened slightly: "Let Ruyun in."
The maidservant invited the person inside.
Shen Ruyun asked worriedly, "Is Mother alright?"
"Sit down, I have something to say to you," Princess Jiahua said, gesturing to the seat opposite her.
Shen Ruyun lowered her eyes and sat down.
"If you are willing to divorce, I will grant you a divorce decree, give you a generous dowry, recognize you as my goddaughter, and grant you the status of a princess."
“Mother, your daughter-in-law does not want a divorce.” Shen Ruyun shook her head. She was the eldest daughter of the Shen family. If she divorced, no matter the reason, how would her younger siblings get married?
Besides, the Shen family wouldn't agree to it.
Shen Ruyun knelt before Princess Jiahua: "Mother, no matter what happens in the future, I am me and he is him. Please grant me a future and allow me to adopt a son."
She couldn't bear the shame of remarrying after getting married.
So she had no choice but to give up Song Mao, wanting only a future.
Princess Jia Hua nodded: "I grant your permission!"
"Thank you, Mother." Shen Ruyun kowtowed in gratitude.
Ninghui Hall at this time
Everyone was restless and paced anxiously back and forth in the room. Leng Shi looked at Fan Lianyi with resentment: "Sister, you are so capable. You secretly did such a big thing without saying a word. Now you have offended the princess and really ruined us."
Throughout the afternoon, Leng made quite a few sarcastic remarks.
Fan Lianyi lowered her eyes and pretended not to hear.
Song Mao helped her sit down and comforted her, "Mother, your son will always protect you."
Fan Lianyi was deeply moved upon hearing this.
But the matriarch, seated at the head of the table, was not so relieved. Several times she seemed about to speak but then stopped, her tone tinged with complaint:
"Why couldn't they control themselves and had to cause trouble at this critical juncture?"
These words were a complaint against Fan Lianyi, and also expressed dissatisfaction with the Duke of Jingguo.
The Duke of Jingguo awkwardly explained, "Mother, it was all my fault for acting out of control. It has nothing to do with Lianyi. If anyone is to blame, it's me."
The old lady snorted coldly: "Whether it's strange or not is not up to me to decide. Fine, let's leave it to fate."
