Upon hearing this, Old Madam Shen was so shocked that her eyes almost popped out of her head. Forgetting the nanny's admonitions, she hurriedly said, "Empress Dowager, how can this be possible! It's common knowledge that Yang Zhao has been married to our Shen family for six years. How can this be annulled? Even if she dies, she will still be my granddaughter-in-law...Ah!"
Bang!
A ruler, a very heavy blow.
Blood was oozing from Mrs. Shen's mouth.
She cried out in pain.
Empress Dowager Bai looked at Old Madam Shen, her gentle voice now revealing a sense of authority without anger: "No? Are you defying my order?"
"too……"
Before Old Madam Shen could say anything, she saw the nanny raising the ruler. Old Madam Shen covered her mouth with her hand, her eyes filled with deep resentment and indescribable frustration.
Now she finally understood.
This Queen Mother... is on Yang Zhao's side.
"Alright, Your Majesty, please issue an imperial decree for me to annul the marriage. I'm old, and I'm afraid few people will listen to what I say." Empress Dowager Bai's words made Emperor Wenyuan look at Madam Shen with a cold look.
"Mother, you are my mother and the most noble woman in the world. No one dares to disobey your edict." Emperor Wenyuan said respectfully, and the meaning was self-evident.
The marriage is cancelled.
It's a done deal.
The Shen family members sat down on the ground. They were so happy just now because Yang Zhao was the Duke of Qi, but now they were disappointed and angry. They were so angry that they slapped the old lady Shen to death.
The Yang family members were so happy that their eyebrows and eyes curved.
The marriage is annulled.
This means that Yang Zhao is not a married woman at all, and she is also the Duke of Qi Yang. The Queen Mother has publicly praised her as a loyal and brave woman. From now on, the women of the Yang family will probably be very popular...
Old Madam Shen looked ashen.
Seeing that Emperor Wenyuan had already waved his hand to have her dragged away, Old Lady Shen grabbed Yang Zhao, who was standing beside her, and her eyes were filled with hatred: "It's you, it's you who destroyed our Shen family, how dare you, how dare you..."
How dare you?
This question is quite funny.
Of course, Yang Zhao didn't do anything in front of everyone, but her eyes were surprisingly calm, and her cold voice sounded faintly:
"Madam Shen, I've been in your Shen family for six years. From day one, I've been supporting the 436 women in your family, providing for their food, clothing, and daily expenses. I've never been harsh on you. I even left you with some spare money to support your daughters who married out. You can be said to have taken care of everything. But after these six years, what have I gotten in return? Don't you have any idea?"
"Don't talk so nicely. You are Duke Yang of Qi. That little bit of money is just leaking from the cracks of your fingernails. You are just sending beggars away. You said that you agreed to marry into our Shen family out of the old man's favor, and you also said that you would protect our Shen women. Bah, if you were doing it out of favor, you wouldn't do such a thing to sue your in-laws. I think you can't get married because you are exposed to the public. You are only doing it for yourself. Li'er is back, and you see that he doesn't love you anymore, so you start to deliberately take revenge..."
“Bang!”
Yang Zhao slapped Madam Shen in the face.
The crisp sound of a slap brought silence to the scene.
"Sending away beggars? Are you worthy enough?"
Yang Zhao's voice was light and clear, but the contempt in her words was unconcealed. Everyone looked at her in surprise.
Even the man standing next to the phoenix sedan chair couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.
