King Qi must know that once the matter is exposed, her sister will have no face to live!
She couldn't blame her parents, even though they had wronged their two daughters for their son; bound by this damned filial piety, she couldn't say anything.
But she was going to break free. The alliance between the Feng family and the Qi Prince's Mansion was no longer her concern. From now on, she would only be herself, no longer a daughter of the Feng family or a princess of the Qi Prince!
Thinking of all this, Princess Qi, or rather, Feng Suiyu, felt an unusual sense of relief.
The heavy stone that had been pressing on her chest since childhood seemed to be slowly being removed, finally allowing her to catch her breath.
Even without relying on her family, she had a generous dowry and the money she had secretly earned over the years using that dowry, enough for her to live on for two lifetimes.
Emperor Mingxi said, "Feng, have you thought this through? Do you really want to divorce Prince Qi and have no regrets?"
"This kind of scumbag is worthless! And he regrets it!"
【Master, the dog doesn't want it, but Mrs. Hu does!】
Xie Zhiyan almost burst out laughing when he heard their teasing. If it weren't for his father's cold look and the previous example of almost being exposed, he definitely wouldn't have been able to control the slowly curling corners of his mouth.
Yue Fuguang's big eyes darted around. "Little Pearl, look, your uncle and aunt are getting a divorce, but the Crown Prince is smiling like the most beautiful peony in my yard."
[Perhaps it's because the Crown Prince also enjoys watching melodramatic family dramas?]
Xie Zhiyan, who was accused of liking to watch melodramatic family dramas: Hehe? No, hehe!
The Empress gave him a sharp look, and Xie Zhiyan immediately sat up straight, but he couldn't immediately take off his smile, otherwise it would be too obvious!
He maintained his fake smile for another half minute before secretly rubbing his face while he lowered his head to drink his tea.
He'll never dare to laugh out loud again; his face hurts!
Feng Suiyu solemnly kowtowed to Emperor Mingxi and said, "Your Majesty, I am certain that I want to divorce Xie Qi."
Then she said to Xie Qi, "I, Feng Suiyu, am a good mother. If I don't leave, how can I make room for the position of Princess Qi, the biological mother of my eldest son?"
"She can't just wait until I'm dead to come home!"
[It's not like he'll marry a new woman as soon as you die, but unfortunately it's not Hu Shi, it's your own sister Feng Linlang.]
Killing someone's husband and sister, then marrying their wife and sister—only that scoundrel King Qi could do such a thing! This affection is truly earth-shattering!
"Little bead, you can use something like this to move heaven and earth? I've learned something new!"
No, Mingxi and the others couldn't stand it anymore. The Divine Artifact couldn't teach the Little Immortal Lord like that!
She's only eight years old; she's easily led astray!
The Empress Dowager and the Emperor exchanged a glance, both agreeing that the young immortal should start school, and the Imperial Study would be an excellent place for him.
Yue Fuguang had no idea that just because she had messed around with the system, the Emperor and Empress Dowager wanted to send her to school!
"Mother, what do you think..." Emperor Mingxi asked the Empress Dowager's opinion symbolically, after all, this couple was her son and daughter-in-law in name only.
Since the Little Immortal Lord wanted to spare Feng's life, he naturally wouldn't stop her. However, he still asked, "Feng, now that you've divorced Prince Qi, what are your plans for Zhiyao?"
Xie Zhiyao's involvement in Prince Qi's affairs is too deep; the royal family cannot let her go. If Madam Feng is still reluctant to let go because of her mother-daughter bond, then she will have no choice but to sink along with Princess Qi's ship.
Feng Suiyu remained silent for a few moments before saying, "Mother, Zhiyao has always been closer to her father since she was little, so she probably prefers to stay in the Qi Prince's residence. Therefore, I respect her choice."
Faced with countless choices, her daughter always chooses to abandon her, and uses that abandonment to gain benefits for herself.
Perhaps from beginning to end, only she, as the mother, has maintained their mother-daughter bond.
But that's the end of it!
Xie Zhiyao had chosen her own path when she was twelve years old. She had no power to bring people back because what she wanted was something her powerless mother could not give her!
The Empress Dowager nodded and said to the Emperor, "Your Majesty, grant them a divorce. Feng's dowry and all the profits she has made from it over the years can be taken away and managed by her alone. The Prince of Qi's Mansion must not obstruct her, and the Feng family must not interfere."
Feng Suiyu kowtowed heavily, saying, "Daughter-in-law thanks Empress Dowager, thanks Your Majesty."
This was also the last time she addressed the Empress Dowager as "Mother." After today, she would simply be Feng Suiyu, not Princess Consort Feng of Qi!
"Mother, Imperial Brother, I don't want a divorce. I... I have genuine feelings for Ayu. I promise I will never meddle with other women again and will just stay with the Princess."
King Qi looked remorseful and gazed at Feng Suiyu with eyes that seemed to look at a dog with deep affection, but she found his gaze utterly disgusting.
"Ayu, let's not get a divorce, okay? Can you really bear to leave our only daughter behind?"
Feng Suiyu: She had already let go of me as her mother in her heart long ago!
"Don't you have any feelings for me at all?"
Feng Suiyu: Before today, I might have thought he was at least a decent match, but after today, even a dog would be a thousand times better than him.
"Your Highness, ever since I saw you with Madam Hu, I have felt no affection for you whatsoever. Do you need me to tell you about my difficult childbirth?"
Feng Suiyu's face remained indifferent. If it weren't for the fact that they were still in the palace, she wouldn't have bothered to deal with him anymore.
When the King of Qi heard her talk about her difficult childbirth back then, his face twitched, and he immediately changed the subject, feeling guilty. "Have you ever thought about how you will live after we divorce? Your dowry will eventually run out."
【Master, this Feng Suiyu is a business expert. In just over ten years, she has secretly increased her dowry by more than double.】
This was done behind the King of Qi's back; if she were to truly unleash her full potential, it would be far more than this.
Didn't you say you wanted to partner with the Crown Prince to start other businesses after the New Year? She would be a very suitable manager.
"But I'm just a kid, and I don't know her. Even if I hire her, she might not believe me. Besides, she has her own money."
They wouldn't want to work for a little kid like me, would they?
Working? Does that mean doing chores or tasks? Feng Suiyu was actually very tempted by the suggestion, but she couldn't just jump out and say she was willing.
The young master is still young and wouldn't understand that a woman as wealthy as her, who has lost her status, is like a child carrying gold in a bustling marketplace.
Moreover, she possesses several precious artifacts from the previous dynasty. Without the help of her maternal family, she might lose these items, or even her life.
When the Crown Prince heard that Yue Fuguang wanted to do business with him again, he was very happy. Their joint venture in cement had already started selling.
The reason why it's not yet available on the market is simply because all the ones currently being made have already been pre-ordered by the manufacturing department. The department alone has booked until next year.
