Upon seeing that medicine packet, An Xiuyuan felt like he was about to faint.
He hadn't expected Wang Yuzhen to be so foolish as to choose today to attack Yunzhi. He knew Wang Yuzhen disliked Yunzhi and wanted to scheme against her. But couldn't she have chosen another time? Today was their wedding day!
"Marquis Dingyuan, what else do you have to say?"
"Your humble servant..."
Just as An Xiuyuan was about to speak, Wang Yuzhen looked at Yunzhi fearlessly and said, "Yunzhi, you're quite shrewd. Look, even the Regent has come to back you up. No wonder you were in such a hurry to divorce my Marquis; you've climbed the social ladder."
Upon hearing this, Yunzhi and Dongli Lucang's faces darkened.
As for Wang Shi and An Xiuyuan, they looked at Yunzhi with suspicion, wondering if she had already colluded with the Regent.
The gazes of the two men infuriated Dongli Lucang, who shouted, "How dare you slander my queen! You have quite the nerve!"
"Guards, slap this king!"
At Dongli Lucang's command, Mingyi, the guard who had been waiting outside, walked in and slapped Wang Yuzhen twice.
After the battle was over, Dongli Lu Cang looked at An Xiuyuan and said, "An Xiuyuan, you can't even manage your own inner courtyard. Starting tomorrow, you don't need to attend court anymore."
Upon hearing this, not only did An Xiuyuan's face turn pale, but Wang Shi and Wang Yuzhen also turned deathly pale. The two immediately knelt down and pleaded with Dongli Lu Cang, "Your Highness, it was our fault. Please forgive my Yuan'er (husband)."
"Now you know to beg for mercy? Weren't you so eloquent just now? How dare you smear my queen? Who gave you the audacity?"
Seeing that Dongli Lu Cang refused to forgive them, Wang Shi turned to Yun Zhi and said, "Your Highness, please spare us! We, your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, were blind and said things we shouldn't have. Please, Your Highness, consider our past relationship and show leniency to Yuan'er."
"Past favors?" Yunzhi sneered, looking down at Wang Shi who was kneeling and begging for mercy, and said, "Do we have that kind of thing? Didn't you just want the servants to beat me?"
After speaking, Yunzhi turned to look at Dongli Lucang and asked, "Your Highness, what crime should be charged for beating up the Princess Consort?"
"capital offense!"
Upon hearing those two words, Madam Wang was terrified. She immediately kowtowed to Yunzhi and begged for mercy: "Your Highness, please forgive this old woman, don't hold it against me."
After saying that, she glanced at Wang Yuzhen, who was kneeling there dumbfounded and silent, slapped her on the head, and said, "Yuzhen, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and beg the Princess for forgiveness."
Wang Yuzhen felt resentment in her heart.
She thought that by forcing Yunzhi away, she could easily suppress her and trample her underfoot. But who knew that Yunzhi would turn around and become the Regent's Consort.
Although she was somewhat skeptical, the Regent's own words were certainly true.
Therefore, she felt both hatred and jealousy. She was jealous of Yunzhi's good fortune; even after her divorce, she was still able to marry the Regent, who was second only to the Emperor.
Why does she seem to get all the good things?
Yunzhi didn't care whether Wang Yuzhen hated her or not. She gave her a cold look and said, "No way, I can't accept that. She said before that she would ruin my reputation."
It would be foolish not to file a complaint when you can.
Since Dongli Lucang is going to stand up for her, she naturally has to seize this opportunity and crush these people under her feet.
