Unfortunately, no matter how much hatred she felt in her heart, she did not dare to vent it on the queen of a country.
He didn't even dare to reveal a glance.
She thought about the two options given by the Queen and immediately chose the second one.
It's okay to give the power of managing the family to Zhang Luoshi, but would Zhang Luoshi still dare to kill Aunt Zhu and her grandson openly?
At most, the mother and son would suffer a little injustice.
But it doesn’t matter. She and Nan’er will subsidize the mother and son privately.
Zhang Luoshi could manage the money of the Zhang family, but could she control who her mother-in-law secretly subsidized with her own money?
Thinking of this, Madam Zhang said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I have received your admonition. I have acknowledged my faults and will no longer hold sole responsibilities as head of the household."
She kowtowed and made a promise, "After returning home, I will immediately hand over the power of the household to my daughter-in-law. From now on, I will live peacefully in my own courtyard and enjoy my remaining years."
Zhu Wuhuan looked at Zhang Luoshi.
"Zhang Luoshi, what is your choice?"
Zhang Luo glanced sideways at her mother-in-law who was kneeling beside her.
She has experienced in recent years how difficult this mother-in-law is.
So what if the power to manage the family fell into her hands? Even if the emperor ordered Zhang Zhennan to stay in her room every day until she gave birth to a legitimate son, so what?
Zhang Zhennan could use cold violence against her without saying a word to her.
The mother-in-law can then call her over every day to set rules. There are many sinister ways in the backyard that can torture people to exhaustion without killing them.
If there was no other way, she could only go back and continue to endure it. But since the Queen Mother had given her the power to divorce her husband, why should she go back to the Zhang family and continue to suffer injustice and face other people's faces?
As for being pointed at and spitted at after divorcing a husband...
She doesn't care.
Being criticized behind your back is much better than facing the cold violence of your husband and the difficulties of your mother-in-law every day.
Besides, there are so many women suffering in the world. Someone has to stand up first and tell the world that they have the support of the Queen. If they can't make ends meet, they can divorce their husbands and become independent women!
Before making the decision, Zhang Luo looked back at her six-year-old daughter who was kneeling obediently with her.
She asked gently, "Lan'er, if mother takes you away from father's house, we will live alone from now on. Are you willing?"
The little girl looked up at her mother.
She asked timidly, "Is it that only Lan'er and mother live in the same room, that we can eat well and wear warm clothes every day, and that no one will bully us anymore?"
Zhang Luo's nose was slightly sour, "Yes, no one will bully mother and Lan'er anymore."
The little girl smiled brightly, "Okay, then Lan'er will follow Mom and leave Daddy's house. Daddy only likes my younger brother anyway, he doesn't like Lan'er."
Zhang Luoshi felt even more sad as she heard this.
Since her daughter is not attached to that home, there is no need for her to take her back.
She was just afraid that her daughter would want a daddy...
"Your Majesty, I wish to divorce my husband and establish my own household. I beg Your Majesty to grant my wish!"
She kowtowed heavily and said resolutely.
The little girl also looked up at the dignified and majestic queen expectantly, and kowtowed as well, her little head kowtowed loudly, looking silly and cute.
"Zhang Luoshi!"
Beside Zhang Luoshi, Old Madam Zhang suddenly turned her head and looked at Zhang Luoshi with a pale face.
This bitch! She actually dared to divorce her husband!
She wanted to pounce on the bitch and tear her mouth apart!
She has already handed over the power of housekeeper to this bitch, what else does this bitch want!
Do you still want her to kneel down and kowtow to admit her mistake?
Taking the seat, Zhu Wuhuan chuckled when he heard Zhang Luoshi's choice.
She nodded, "Okay, since the Zhang family treats you badly and favors concubines over wives, I will give you the power to divorce your husband!"
"Thank you, Queen. I will remember your kindness forever!"
Zhang Luo got the correct answer and burst into tears of joy.
She kowtowed again to express her deep gratitude.
Thanks to the Queen's kindness, she was finally free.
Madam Zhang tried to save the situation, "Your Majesty, Zhang Luo has been a wife of the Zhang family for many years. She is a member of the Zhang family in life and a ghost of the Zhang family in death. How can you..."
Zhu Wuhuan glanced at her calmly and said, "Shut up."
Madam Zhang was so frightened that she was silent.
Zhu Wuhuan sneered, "Zhang Luoshi married into your Zhang family, not sold herself to them! Since she married your son, she had to stay with him for the rest of her life. So when your husband passed away, why didn't you go to be buried with him? Your husband is dead, and you're so loyal, what are you still doing here?"
Old Madam Zhang was once again scolded by the Queen Mother, and her heart was choked with pain, and she wanted to vomit blood!
Zhu Wuhuan didn't even bother to take another look at her appearance. He signaled the palace servants, "Send Madam Zhang out of the palace."
Immediately, a eunuch came forward and forcefully dragged the weak-legged Madam Zhang out.
Old Madam Zhang was dragged away staggeringly. Before stepping out of the door, she turned back and took one last look at Zhang Luoshi.
Tears rolled down her cheeks. She really regretted it!
If she had known that the emperor would remember Lord Luo and support Zhang Luoshi. If she had known that Zhang Luoshi would be so heartless as to divorce her husband, she should not have treated Zhang Luoshi like this!
After the annoying person left, Zhu Wuhuan looked at Zhang Luoshi.
She said, "I'll have a few people accompany you back to the Zhang Mansion to get your dowry. I'll have them come back after you've settled down."
Zhang Luo was deeply moved and expressed her gratitude again, "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!"
Zhu Wuhuan nodded, then looked at Luo Songping beside him.
This is her main goal!
She smiled and waved, "Lord Luo's grandson, right? Come here and let me see you."
Luo Songping looked at the Queen Mother flattered, then stood up happily, trotted to the Queen Mother, and knelt down again.
"Empress!"
Zhu Wuhuan smiled and rubbed his head.
She said, "You are the grandson of Lord Luo, and you look a bit like my brother from my mother's side. I like you very much. If you have any wishes, I can help you fulfill them—"
Luo Songping had not expected such a good thing to happen. He looked at the Empress excitedly and said, "Empress, is anything possible?"
Zhu Wuhuan said, "You tell me first."
Luo Songping looked at her expectantly, "My Queen, I want to ask you to help me find my mother and sister! They were sold by my father!"
At this point, his eyes turned red with sadness. "My mother was beaten by my father a few days ago. She is a little confused now. I am afraid that she and my sister will die!"
Zhu Wuhuan sighed softly.
In fact, she had already sent a letter to the General's Mansion, asking her eldest brother to help look for him, but there was no news yet.
She nodded, "Okay, I'll help you find it."
Luo Songping was so excited that he kowtowed to the empress three times, his forehead banging loudly.
Then he raised his head and said hesitantly, "My Lady, can I ask you for one more favor?"
Zhu Wuhuan laughed. This little thing really didn't consider himself an outsider.
She said, "Come to my palace and listen to what you have to say."
Luo Songping said, "My Queen, I heard that the government has an iron mine in Xishan. Could you please send my father to work as a laborer in the mine?"
"..." Zhu Wuhuan looked at the child who was less than eight years old in surprise!
What? Coolie?
Tsk tsk, this guy is really worthy of being Luo Songping, the one who hired someone to write a biography and made his own father notorious!
He has been tough since he was a child!
