Princess Yan Yue's last words were spoken with extreme coldness, which startled Lady Hai Ping.
"This... this lady has never heard of it."
Isn't this a case of one woman being sought after by a hundred families? I feel that if Miss Zhao can tame wild beasts, she can surely control my unfilial son as well.
As for whether she's a concubine or not, that's unimportant. Anyway, Madam Yun isn't the petty type; she probably wouldn't bully Miss Zhao.
In all these years, Yan Yue has never seen anyone dare to play dumb in front of her.
She slammed her hand on the table. "You, Lady Qi, are you deaf or are you deliberately trying to provoke me?"
Who gave you the audacity to humiliate my niece like this?
Why would you think my niece would insist on marrying your纨绔子弟 (spoiled brat) son as a concubine?
Are all the noble young men in the capital dead, or is it simply because your son is utterly uneducated and dissolute?
It seems that the position of Lady of the Haiping Marquis's Mansion should be filled by a new person.
With such a muddle-headed mistress, it's no wonder that the Marquis of Haiping's mansion is becoming increasingly disorganized.
"Guards, drag Lady Haiping out of here!"
If Princess Yan Yue says to throw them out, then they must be thrown out.
Immediately, two tall and burly old women came in from outside the door, and without saying a word, they grabbed Lady Haiping and threw her out of the Zhao residence.
He didn't forget to instruct the gatekeeper, "If anyone from the Marquis of Haiping's residence comes in the future, there's no need to announce your arrival; just send them away."
Princess Yan Yue's temper has been well-tamed over the years, but unexpectedly, it was precisely because of her gentle temperament that these villains dared to act so boldly.
They dared to act arrogantly in front of her.
Therefore, Princess Yanyue wrote a letter to the new emperor.
Aside from simple greetings, the complaints were mostly about being wronged. In particular, the behavior of Lady Haiping and her son was described in great detail.
They dare to act so disrespectfully and recklessly; they must have something to rely on.
After reading Yan Yue's memorial, the new emperor smiled and said,
"It seems that the Marquis of Haiping's family has really gone too far, otherwise they wouldn't have angered my younger sister so much."
They'll even complain about this.
The new emperor seemed to be talking to himself, but the chief eunuch Fulu beside him was trembling with fear.
No one knew that this new emperor was extremely protective of his own. Anyone who caught his eye was protected like the apple of his eye.
Unfortunately, the eldest princess and her siblings were exactly what he wanted.
Sure enough, an imperial edict was issued, and Marquis Haiping was given twenty lashes and had his salary reduced by half a year.
The status of the heir apparent to the Marquis of Haiping was stripped.
The reason is simple: Marquis Haiping's household management was lax, and his heir was a dissolute and unworthy of the position.
That wasn't all. Just as the new emperor's edict arrived, punishing Marquis Haiping and his son, the empress's edict arrived, ordering Lady Qi to copy the "Admonitions for Women" a hundred times.
What secrets are there left in the capital? Less than an hour after the incident at the Marquis of Haiping's residence, everyone in the surrounding area knew about it.
Marrying an unvirtuous wife brings misfortune to three generations—this saying is absolutely true.
As a result, the Marquis of Haiping married that petty and narrow-minded Lady Qi. Not only was he tricked, but his eldest son also lost his position as heir apparent, and naturally, his eldest grandson had no chance to inherit the title.
With this readily available teaching material, the matriarchs of each household began to tighten the reins on their children and grandchildren.
"When choosing a wife, one should consider her family background; a good match between equals is never a bad thing."
Look at that Marquis Haiping, back then he absolutely refused to marry the woman arranged by the old Marquis Haiping, and insisted on marrying that Lady Qi.
Those from humble backgrounds often have limited perspectives and end up getting into trouble.
Now his son has lost his position as heir apparent…
