Then the nanny said coldly, "How dare you! The Empress Dowager hasn't even asked a question yet, why are you making such a noise?"
The scene suddenly became silent.
Many people subconsciously covered their mouths.
This Queen Mother... is extremely violent!!
At this time, someone came forward and whispered in Empress Dowager Bai's ear.
A quarter of an hour later.
Then, Queen Mother Bai spoke slowly, "It turns out that today's incident happened because the Shen family favored their concubine over their wife."
"no……"
'Pah'
A ruler fell.
Old Madam Shen covered her mouth tightly in pain, tears flowing uncontrollably.
Empress Dowager Bai acted as if she hadn't noticed. She looked at the crowd and said gently, "Although I am a woman, I understand the Confucian virtues of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, trustworthiness, and loyalty. When the Shen family fell on hard times, Yang Zhao, daughter of the Marquis of Zhenbei, married into the Shen family with integrity and loyalty. She protected the women of the Shen family with propriety and wisdom for six years. She also never forgot the late emperor's grace and continued to be loyal and benevolent, quietly doing good for the people of our dynasty."
"I know that etiquette requires us women to follow the Three Obediences and Four Virtues and remember the female precepts, but today's incident is truly unique. If I cannot give the Yang family a satisfactory explanation, who will respect and abide by their promises, be kind and loyal in the future? Your Majesty, do you think what I said is correct?"
As Empress Dowager Bai spoke, she turned her head and looked at Emperor Wenyuan and asked.
Emperor Wenyuan felt a little uncomfortable, because he couldn't help but think of how his mother had coaxed him into joining the game...
He vaguely guessed something.
Honestly, he was completely disappointed with the Shen family. The six crimes of the Shen family were almost enough to prove their guilt. Imprisonment was necessary. Once the investigation was complete, they could be dealt with according to the law, but...
In this era where men are superior to women.
Yang Zhao's action still touched upon the power of male supremacy, which needed to be suppressed. Otherwise, if all women in the world followed suit in the future, wouldn't the world be in chaos?
"His Majesty!"
Empress Dowager Bai looked at Emperor Wenyuan with gentle and loving eyes as she called him.
Emperor Wenyuan looked at his mother, sighed inwardly, and finally nodded: "Your Majesty, what you said is absolutely right!"
"Since Your Majesty thinks what I said is right, then I can handle it with peace of mind."
After saying this, Empress Dowager Bai looked at the crowd and said gently, "I bestowed upon Yang Zhao a plaque inscribed with the title of chastity and heroism, saying that she was a role model for women like us to emulate. Today, she stands here fearlessly. I commend her. She is truly a loyal and valiant woman! She is worthy of the plaque I bestowed upon her."
The corner of Emperor Wenyuan's mouth twitched fiercely.
When Yang Zhao heard the Queen Mother's words, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"Yang Zhao, come to me."
When Yang Zhao heard what Queen Mother Bai said, he stood up and walked to her and knelt down, "Your servant Yang Zhao greets the Queen Mother."
"Raise your head and let me see you." Queen Mother Bai said with a smile.
Yang Zhao raised his head when he heard this.
"What a pretty little face! You are indeed a nice girl, with the same good temper as your father..." I don't know if the last sentence was a compliment to her.
Everyone knows that the Marquis of Zhenbei is a rough man with a violent temper.
The kind who likes to use knives at every turn.
"Alright, such a rare little girl, the daughter of the Marquis of Zhenbei, and now Duke Yang of Qi, should not be subjected to too much suffering."
Empress Dowager Bai smiled and said, "How about this! Today, I make the decision. The six-year marriage between the Xu and Chen Yang families is annulled."
Marriage annulled?
Upon hearing this, Yang Zhao raised his eyes in surprise.
She was confident that she could force Emperor Wenyuan to personally issue an imperial decree for a divorce, but could she simply annul the marriage? This meant that the six years of marriage were null and void, and she wouldn't even need to obtain a divorce decree? ...
However, Empress Dowager Bai continued, "Your Majesty, I really like this girl. Since you don't have a little princess, how about you adopt her as your goddaughter?"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Wenyuan's face darkened...
