The scene was extremely quiet!
Liu Piaopiao looked at her with murderous intent.
Shen Jiaojiao gave an awkward laugh: "Hehe, I just did it by accident... I really didn't mean to!"
"Besides, I didn't feel anything, mine is much bigger than yours..."
"I'm a woman, don't be too sad..."
It's not what you think!
Her explanation was weak and unconvincing.
The onlookers looked at her with very complicated expressions.
"I really can't stay any longer," Shen Jiaojiao said, forcing a stiff smile as she looked at Liu Piaopiao. "Well, now that you're awake, I'll be leaving. No need to thank me; I'm just an ordinary, kind person!"
After saying that, she turned around, grabbed Wenrou's hand, and ran away in a flash.
Taishe is dead!
Wenrou followed her, her mind still reeling. Did this Crown Princess have a thing for women?
As soon as the two of them ran, Zhang and Chunhua followed suit.
Liu Piaopiao's mind was full of swear words, but in order to maintain her persona, she could only pretend to smile weakly.
When the crowd saw that she was awake, they slowly dispersed.
Liu Piaopiao swayed as she stood up, leaning weakly against the two maids, and said feebly, "Quickly help me into the carriage, we need to go back to the manor immediately!"
He slowly moved into the car, lowered the curtain, and only then did his seemingly harmless face reveal a fierce glint.
Pervert!
Don't let me see you again! I'll make you regret it!
Shen Jiaojiao's mind was in complete chaos. She grabbed the person and ran wildly to the Crown Prince's residence before leaning against the large lion statue at the gate, panting for breath.
Wenrou was also panting, but she was very reserved, as she had never been to the Crown Prince's residence before.
Moreover, her clothes were not presentable, which made her feel somewhat inferior.
Since we're already home, let's just take him back to the mansion.
Not long after, Zhang returned with Chunhua and the others.
Madam Zhang bowed to Shen Jiaojiao. She had no choice but to follow the rules outside, but this time she had to do so at home.
After everything was done, Shen Jiaojiao began to ask questions in detail.
"By the way, I still don't know how to address you. I didn't introduce you properly when we were on the street."
Madam Zhang quickly stood up and said, “Your Highness, I am Zhang Yueru, the daughter of General Zhang!”
Seeing that Shen Jiaojiao was a little confused, Zhang explained, "You might not understand if I put it that way, so let me put it another way. Before today, I was the first wife of Imperial Physician Wen. This is my child with Imperial Physician Wen, Wenrou!"
Wenrou bowed to her.
Shen Jiaojiao really didn't expect that after eating melons in the palace, she would run into someone who was related to her.
By the way, what did she mean by "before today"?
"I've divorced Physician Wen!"
Zhang said frankly.
Wow!
Wow, that's amazing!
Shen Jiaojiao looked at her face and saw no regret, but rather a sense of relief and indifference, and felt a little admiration for her.
In modern times, divorce is quite simple, and it's common for people to find new partners after a breakup.
But this is ancient times, where imperial power is supreme.
Moreover, the marriage had only just been arranged, and she was already divorcing. If the Emperor found out, it would be troublesome if he was unhappy.
Thinking about this, she became a little worried. The two men didn't seem like bad people; there wasn't a trace of money on them, and they looked like they had left with nothing.
She asked in a low voice, "Zhang Niangzi, is this considered leaving with nothing? You bore him children and raised them all, and he has the nerve to not give you a single penny? This man is clearly no good, it's better to divorce him!"
Zhang burst out laughing, surprised by the unexpected gentleness of the Crown Princess!
"Your Highness, to be honest, that house is just an empty shell now. It's not that he doesn't want to give, it's just that there's nothing left in the house!"
"Huh???" Shen Jiaojiao was a little surprised. This Imperial Physician Wen was an official with a monthly salary. He shouldn't have been in this situation!
Zhang smiled; it was a smile of relief, a smile radiating hope.
"The Crown Princess also knows about the imperial decree that was just issued today, bestowing marriage upon Wen Nuan and Prince An."
"I won't talk much about the past, because talking too much will only make me seem petty."
"The truth is that after all these years of doing good deeds for the sake of warmth and kindness, my family is now completely broke and has no extra money left."
"Imperial Physician Wen wants to prepare a decent dowry for Wen Nuan. Where am I supposed to get that from?"
"Later he said that all the betrothal gifts sent by Prince An were taken away by Wen Nuan."
"He acts like he's completely devoted to his daughter. I've been so gentle with him, but he never cares. I've had enough of this over the years."
"The thought of staying in that house makes me feel suffocated, so I filed for divorce!"
Shen Jiaojiao was full of admiration. Although she didn't say much, she still had a guess as to how a saintly woman could ruin her family.
"By the way, why did Physician Wen agree to let you leave so readily?"
Zhang recalled the scene of hitting him, feeling quite satisfied, and her face showed a hint of joy: "Hahaha, of course he disagreed, so I immediately kissed his face hard with the sole of my shoe, and after a while, he happily agreed."
"Ah? Hahaha, my goodness! You're amazing, well done!" Shen Jiaojiao clapped loudly!
Zhang was surprised that the Crown Princess agreed with her so much, and felt a warm feeling in her heart.
"By the way, what are your plans now?" Shen Jiaojiao looked at the two of them, knowing that something unexpected could happen at any time if they were outside.
Zhang then came to her senses, somewhat bewildered: "I just want to start a new life with my daughter. My parents are in the border region, and I'd like to visit them if possible!"
The frontier, huh? That's quite far away.
Two vulnerable women, even if given money, are not safe.
Shen Jiaojiao began to think.
Zhang was a little nervous. She had no relation to her and wondered if what she said just now might make her think that she was asking her for money.
She is somewhat sensitive.
There's no way around it; it's just that Wen Nuan has been spending money like crazy every day for years, and it's made her more sensitive about money.
Thinking of this, she hurriedly explained, "Um, Your Highness, I didn't mean to ask you for money, I really didn't, I..."
Shen Jiaojiao quickly waved her hand: "Don't overthink it, I understand!"
She took Zhang's hand and helped her sit down; Zhang's hands were covered in rough calluses.
It must have taken a lot of hardship.
Both were wives of officials, but her mother was much better off than Zhang, whose hands were still silky smooth and soft.
Zhang also felt the slippery texture of her palm. After sitting down, she withdrew her hand and dared not say anything more.
I always feel like I'm a failure. My daughter should be pampered like the Crown Princess, but now her hands are just as rough as mine.
I feel like a real failure; I'm not a good mother.
Shen Jiaojiao sat to the side, watching the complicated expression on her face, especially the deep sense of guilt she felt when she stared at Wenrou.
Wenrou was very sensible from a young age. She quickly got up, took Zhang's hand, and said with a sweet smile, "Mother, I'm not suffering. I feel happy because of you."
The two hugged each other, but didn't cry!
A strange emotion lingered between the two of them.
It was very heartwarming.
"I have an idea, but I don't know if it will work," Shen Jiaojiao said softly.
