No one dared to breathe loudly; the entire banquet fell silent in an instant, so quiet you could hear a pin drop!
Seemingly sensing the gradually cooling gaze of Prince Cheng beside her, Old Madam Yang slowly knelt down, leaning on her cane, and Yang Yuechan quickly followed suit.
"Your Highness, please forgive me! I knew nothing about Yang Tianba forcibly taking a woman from my home, it's not as General Tang said!"
King Cheng slowly turned the teacup in his hand, as if he was thinking about something, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.
A bead of cold sweat appeared on Old Madam Yang's face, and she gripped her cane tightly!
"Please rise, Madam! It was all my fault for being momentarily stunned. Please forgive me!"
Prince Cheng helped Old Madam Yang up, glanced at Yang Yuechan, and said, "You get up too!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Grandma Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief; this ordeal was over!
"Since the old lady is unaware of the situation, I will not pursue it further. I hope that the old lady will teach her children and nephews more in the future to prevent them from repeating the same mistake!"
"Thank you for your guidance, Your Highness! I will take this as a warning and set a good example by disciplining them strictly!"
"Since that's the case, Yang Tianba deserves to be punished for bullying men and women, so he should be dealt with by General Tang. As for Tianbao, considering his young age, he should be personally disciplined by the Old Madam. Do you have any objections?"
King Cheng, with an imposing air despite his lack of anger, looked at Tang Jian and Old Madam Yang and asked them questions.
"Your Highness is wise! Your humble servant thanks Your Highness!"
"I thank Your Highness for your forgiveness, I have no objection!"
Tang Jian and Old Lady Yang bowed to King Cheng to express their gratitude.
"Now that this matter has been resolved, I have other important business to attend to. The flower-viewing banquet hosted by Old Madam Yang is excellent, please enjoy it at your leisure. I will take my leave now!"
After saying this, the King, along with his wife and the crown prince, quickly left. Xiao Bao stayed behind, winked at Lin Zao, and then followed them away.
Seeing this, Tang Jian nodded to everyone along with Lin Zao, then took his leave without even saying goodbye to the host, as there was no need for him to stay any longer.
Old Madam Yang stood in the main seat, her face pale and swaying precariously. Yang Yuechan quickly stepped forward to support her.
"I'm so sorry, I'm not feeling well and can't entertain you all. Please make yourselves at home!"
After saying that, he took Yang Yuechan and left, returning to the backyard.
The people in the garden looked at each other, wondering what the owner was doing there. Gradually, they dispersed.
"Grandmother, are you alright?"
As soon as they returned to the back room, Old Madam Yang collapsed from exhaustion. Yang Yuechan was so frightened that she held her tightly and helped her to bed.
"Grandma is fine! Just let me rest! Go and call that unfilial grandson Tianbao here for me. I'll make sure he learns his lesson this time!"
After Yang Yuechan left the room, Old Madam Yang's face darkened, her eyes filled with anger, and she forcefully threw the crutch in her hand away.
For so many years! Since becoming the Duchess, no one has ever dared to humiliate her like this in front of her!
Everyone used to treat her with utmost respect!
Even in front of King Cheng and his wife, she could rely on her status to not have to kneel and pay her respects to them; on the contrary, they had to be very respectful to her!
Now, how dare they!
It's all Yang Tianba's fault, that good-for-nothing! Since he dared to cause trouble, he didn't even clean up his mess, causing her to lose face like this!
They absolutely deserved to die, who cares if they live or die!
"Grandmother, Tianbao is in!"
Kneel down!
