When she arrived at the gate of the mansion, the imperial guards held their swords in front of her to stop her.
She handed over the divorce letter and asked them to help her invite her father over.
The deputy captain of the imperial guards came over, took the letter of divorce, and read ten lines at a glance.
He raised his head and gave a meaningful look to the second wife who was flying alone in the face of disaster.
"The Zhu family has written a letter of divorce, so what about your letter of severance, Madam? If you are willing to sever all ties with the Zhu family, then write me another letter of severance."
Song Anqiao's pupils constricted and she suddenly clenched her fingers!
I still have to write this?
What if the Zhu family survives this disaster safely and she has written the love letter? What should she do?
The deputy captain glanced at her and said coldly, "If you don't write, then I will assume that you don't want to leave the Zhu family. Go back."
Song Anqiao's heart suddenly jumped to her throat!
How could she not want to leave!
She took a deep breath and said, "I'll write it now."
I heard that the queen in the palace was deposed by the emperor. What other options does the Zhu family have?
There is absolutely no way they can get through this unscathed!
She closed her eyes, turned around and asked a servant to bring her pen and ink.
Then, she wrote a love letter at the gate of the mansion, stating that she would no longer have any ties with the Zhu family.
The deputy lieutenant took the broken love letter and sneered, "Second Madam is so decisive!"
He made a sarcastic remark and then raised his hand to ask someone to invite Minister Song.
Song Anqiao clenched her fists and endured the disdainful looks from the imperial guards, trying to straighten her back.
She just wanted to survive. Why would she want to die when she could live?
She has no shame in what she did! ...Song Mansion.
Song Baozhang, the Minister of War, has been on edge since he learned that his relative-in-law had defected to the enemy and betrayed the country, fearing that his family would also be implicated.
Now when he heard the imperial guards come to his door and say that his daughter had been divorced by the Zhu family and asked him to go and take his daughter home, he suddenly felt relieved!
Very good!
Bring their daughter home, and the Song family and the Zhu family will no longer have any relationship!
He immediately asked someone to prepare a carriage and go to Zhu's house.
…
So, when Zhu Wuhuan rushed from the palace to General Zhu's mansion, he saw the Minister of War's carriage parked at the door of the mansion.
She sat upright in the plain carriage, quietly watching the loving scene between father and daughter at the gate of the mansion.
"Qiao'er, Dad is here to take you home!"
Minister Song jumped off the carriage and strode up the steps with an excited look on his face.
Song Anqiao, who had been waiting at the gate for a long time, immediately came forward, her eyes red, "Dad!"
Minister Song held his daughter's arm and said distressedly, "Are you scared? Don't be afraid, Dad will take you home right away!"
Song Anqiao's tears fell down, "Okay!"
The deputy captain of the imperial guards looked at the father and daughter indifferently.
"Master Song, if you want to take your daughter away, you can't do it like this."
He crossed his arms and glared at Minister Song. "Although the Zhu family has written a letter of divorce, and your daughter is willing to sever ties with the Zhu family, whether your daughter can leave or not still depends on your request to the Emperor."
Minister Song and his daughter looked at him together.
Song Anqiao frowned, "Sir, I took the Zhu family's divorce letter before, and you said I had to write a letter of severance myself. I wrote it. Now that my father is here, you say this is not okay and we have to ask the emperor for permission. Are you deliberately playing a trick on us?"
The deputy captain sneered, "Why, according to Madam Zhu... No, now it's Miss Song—"
He looked at Song Anqiao sarcastically, "Miss Song, you mean that with your powerful father here, the emperor doesn't need to take care of this matter? Your father's words are more effective than the emperor's."
Minister Song was shocked by these words!
He subconsciously looked at the young leader of the imperial guards!
Whose young man is this? He has never seen him before. How come he can't speak so well?
How dare a mere fifth-rank deputy captain of the imperial guards make things difficult for a second-rank minister like him?
"Whose child are you?"
Minister Song narrowed his eyes slightly, wanting to get to know this ignorant boy!
The deputy lieutenant chuckled while holding his sword. "Sir Song, no matter whose family I belong to today, you must consult the Emperor! Without the Emperor's oral order, I will never let you take Miss Song away."
As the two were arguing with each other, they heard the sound of carriages and horses not far away.
Turning around, he saw that the person sitting in the plain carriage was the Empress, who was second only to the emperor and above everyone else!
In the past, when the Queen Mother arrived, everyone had to kneel down and kowtow immediately.
But now... no one moved.
Because before in the court, when the emperor was furious and ordered the execution of the entire Zhu family, he said that Queen Zhu was a daughter of the Zhu family and was not fit to be a queen, and he would depose Queen Zhu when he returned to the harem later!
Now, watching Empress Zhu riding in the simplest carriage back to the General's Mansion, without a phoenix robe or a nine-phoenix hairpin on her head, everyone understood at the same time—
The Empress was indeed deposed, and the Emperor sent her back to the Zhu family.
Since this person was no longer the queen, naturally no one came forward to kowtow and pay their respects.
"Miss--"
Zhu Wuhuan had told Suqiu to call her "Miss" after leaving the palace, so she called her "Miss" and helped Zhu Wuhuan get off the carriage.
Zhu Wuhuan got off the carriage.
She walked step by step towards the steps of the general's mansion.
"Master Song, Second Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"
She glanced at Minister Song lightly, and her eyes fell on her second sister-in-law Song Anqiao.
There was a hint of barely perceptible disgust in her eyes as she looked at Song Anqiao.
This woman also left her mark in history books.
When the entire Zhu family was executed, Zhu's second wife, Song Anqiao, took the divorce letter and broke off all ties with the Zhu family. She returned to her parents' home and was temporarily sent to a nunnery outside the city to practice asceticism.
More than a month later, General Zhu returned triumphantly, only to learn that his entire family had been slaughtered. He vomited blood and died.
After another two months, the old general's body was sent back to the capital, and the tyrant ordered that he be buried with the Zhu family.
When Song Anqiao learned that the Zhu family was innocent, she hurried back from the nunnery outside the city and wore mourning clothes to see her father-in-law, mother-in-law and husband off, but was met with contempt and curses from all the people.
At this time, the woman used her ultimate move!
She told everyone that she took the divorce letter and cut all ties with the Zhu family because she was nearly four months pregnant at the time, but her pregnancy was not obvious because of the young age. She endured the humiliation and left in order to preserve the last bloodline of the Zhu family.
In order to give birth to the child safely, she took the initiative to go to a nunnery outside the city.
Now the child has been born prematurely, a boy, in a nunnery!
She said she was not a sinner, but a hero who preserved the last bloodline of the Zhu family.
The people's eyes were immediately filled with tears.
The loyal and brave Zhu family did not die out and even left behind a last bloodline!
This is really great!
Logically speaking, Song Anqiao took the initiative to hand over the ladder. At this time, the tyrant Feng Changye should have treated Song Anqiao and her son well, and let the orphan of the Zhu family grow up well to comfort the heroic spirit of the Zhu family. At the same time, he could also use such kindness to appease the people of the world.
Even if it was found out that the child Song Anqiao mentioned was fake, he should have helped Song Anqiao to cover up the lie and let Song Anqiao find a wild child to pretend to be the orphan of the Zhu family to act out this drama.
But the tyrant Feng Changye has a different way of thinking than ordinary people!
