Everyone looked confused.
They really didn't expect that Xuanping Hou's mother would jump out at this time to stop Jiang from divorcing and taking the child away.
It also presents a scene of deep affection between grandparents and grandchildren.
"Old lady, please get up first. I will discuss the matter of the child with you slowly."
The emperor spoke and signaled the eunuch beside him to help the man up.
Deep down, he didn't want the Jiang family to have everything they wanted.
So the attitude towards the old lady became a little more tolerant.
"I thank the Emperor."
The old lady in the Marquis's Mansion looked tearful, which made people feel quite sympathetic.
Although she looked sad and painful on the surface, she was extremely disdainful in her heart.
Does she really not want to part with her granddaughters?
Bah, of course not!
They are just a few money-losing goods, how could they be worthy of her concern?
[Humph! You bad guy, aren't you just thinking about the lavish dowry that mother gave you when she got married?]
【Pah, you're just putting on a show! 】
Jiang Tiantian, who was peeping at everything, nestled in Zuo Yexuan's arms with an angry look on her face.
He waved his fist angrily.
Jiang Qingqing was so angry that she was shaking all over.
I was slightly stunned when I heard the inner voice.
Yes, according to the customs of Xuanlong Kingdom.
If a divorced woman cannot take her children with her.
The dowry is managed by the clan elders, and 70% of the dowry is put into the child's treasury.
Only 30% were left for the divorced women to take away.
Of course, this is generally the practice of small families.
If you are from a noble family, you must save face.
Even if they divorce, they will return the woman's dowry because they cannot afford to lose face.
Obviously, the old lady of the Marquis's Mansion does not belong to this category.
"Old lady, you and I have been mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for decades, and you have always treated us mother and daughter coldly."
"When Yuyao was little, she had just learned to walk and accidentally bumped into you. You slapped her, causing her face to swell up. Since then, she has only dared to avoid you."
"When Wanyue was just starting out, she loved reading. Just because she secretly read the Buddhist scriptures you treasured, you punished her by making her kneel in the ancestral hall for three days and three nights."
"Another time, you had a very spiritual parrot. It was very curious, so you secretly took a look at it and accidentally let it fly away. What did you do?"
Jiang Qingqing curled her lips and sneered.
"Oh, by the way, I remember you kicked her more than ten meters away, causing her to stay in bed for a month."
"As recently as a month ago, Xinlan stole the pills out of desperation to save someone."
"But what about you? You made Xinlan take off her outer robe, and asked a few maids to force her to kneel on the ice, as if you were going to freeze her to death."
"Have you forgotten all these things?"
Jiang Qingqing sneered, her face full of sarcasm.
"Is this what you call grandparents' love?"
"Wow, my God." Zuo Yexuan covered her mouth exaggeratedly when she heard that.
"You are such a cruel grandmother."
Zuo Yexuan smacked her lips and looked at the old lady of the Marquis' Mansion with suspicion.
"You old lady, you actually pretended to be so gentle and loving earlier."
"You're not afraid of your granddaughter leaving, but you're afraid she'll take her away with her. According to the rules of Xuanlong Country, you should return part of her dowry."
"What? Could this be your idea?" Zuo Yexuan said with disdain.
"I heard that you were originally a foot-washing maid in the old Marquis's mansion, but because the Marquis's wife was still pregnant, the old Marquis took you in as his concubine."
"Later, you, thanks to your son's status, outlasted the previous wife and became the mistress of the Marquis's mansion."
"Eh," Zuo Yexuan said, shaking her head slightly and sarcastically.
"It's a pity that some people, no matter how noble their status, are always greedy and have low self-esteem. Old lady, do you think I'm right?"
"Tsk tsk, it's just that I really can't understand why you're just a foot-washing maid."
"Where on earth did you get the courage to yell at the general's daughter?"
Zuo Yexuan's tone was cold.
"Qingqing has always been respectful to you. That's because she is well-educated, tolerant and kind."
"But this is no reason for you Jiang family to gang up on her and bully her!"
Zuo Yexuan's beautiful eyes were filled with anger.
How many times had she seen Qingqing crying late at night, making plans for the Marquis's Mansion, and showing filial piety by the old lady's bedside?
This old fool actually dared to play tricks in front of her.
Haha, they are all thousand-year-old foxes, why are you performing Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio with her here?
[Wow~] Jiang Tiantian clapped her hands happily, shouting wildly in her heart.
[Aunt Queen is mighty, Aunt Queen, come on, make them fly! ]
"You..." The old lady was about to take advantage of her seniority to get angry when she was criticized in the face by someone, but she found out that the person who was mocking her was the queen of the current dynasty.
She felt a breath of frustration against her chest.
Forget it, she can't afford to offend this guy!
She turned her head and vented her anger on Jiang Qingqing.
"Jiang Qingqing, stop spitting bloody words at me!"
Then, the old lady turned around and cried to everyone.
"I am old and can no longer protect my granddaughters. Don't listen to her nonsense."
"I'm a vegetarian and a Buddhist, always harboring a compassionate heart. How could I possibly abuse children like she claims? They are all my own granddaughters."
"Jiang Qingqing, what is your intention in slandering me like this?"
"Oh, I see. You must have an adulterer outside, and that's why you can't wait to get a divorce, right?"
"What do you mean by taking the children away? I'm afraid that if you take the children away, my five darling granddaughters will die immediately, leaving room for you and that adulterer!"
The old lady looked at Jiang Qingqing with a vicious look, and hurled all kinds of obscenities at her.
