These guards were all veterans of the battlefield, their hands stained with the blood of countless living and dead people; their murderous aura was something no ordinary person could withstand.
Although Zhang Duo's actions were both wicked and evil, he couldn't withstand the murderous aura emanating from these imperial guards, and a hint of panic finally appeared in his eyes.
"As the saying goes, it's better to tear down ten temples than to break up one marriage. You're going to commit a sin."
“A good marriage is one where both parties are in love, and it’s worth it to tear down ten temples or a hundred temples. But look carefully, this was written by Yao Yao herself. When she pressed her handprint, she bit her own blood without the slightest hesitation.”
"Did she really not hesitate at all?"
"yes."
"I don't believe it! I want to see her!"
"She has now returned to her former master's side, and it probably won't be so easy to see her now."
The former master? Yao Yao's former master... isn't that him! Zhang Duo's legs suddenly went weak, and he could no longer stand, so he squatted down on the ground.
Your Majesty!
But... how could that be? How could His Majesty use a crippled, ugly, fat woman!
He knew about the selection process for palace maids; even having a scar on one's body would disqualify one. Yao Yao was disabled, missing a leg, so how could she possibly enter the palace?
But if Her Majesty the Empress is sentimental and actually reinstates her, wouldn't he be cutting off a vital road to heaven for nothing?
"No, I absolutely refuse to agree to a divorce!"
...
As Mu Run listened to Yao Yao recount her experiences over the past few years, he felt genuine pity and sorrow.
The root of all this was that Qiaoyu forced Yaoyao to marry against her will. It's no wonder Yaoyao harbors some resentment when she mentions Qiaoyu.
Mu Run understood very well that Qiao Yu was worried that Yao Yao would have no one to rely on in the future and would be lonely for the rest of her life. Marriage would at least give her a home. If the in-laws were good, that would be fine, but even if they were just average, they could manage. However, if they were bad, it would ruin Yao Yao's life, and her good intentions would be wasted.
“Qiaoyu is usually a meticulous person, but she didn’t handle this matter well. As you said, that Zhang Duo is very eloquent, and it’s possible that Qiaoyu was deceived by him.” Mu Run tried her best to make amends.
After all, Yaoyao and Qiaoyu are sisters; even if their bones are broken, they are still connected by blood. There's no need to push them to their deaths.
Cai's experience was exactly like that of another Yaoyao. Hearing Mu Run's words, she couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, listen to this servant's advice. Yaoyao should have less contact with this older sister from her maternal family in the future. She's too much of a jeopard to her sister."
Mu Run: "..."
Yao Yao said, "My sister has been bewitched by Zhang Duo. She won't listen to anything I say, and I don't want to see her anymore. In the end, I've never wronged her in any way. From now on, we'll go our separate ways and take care of ourselves."
"Yaoyao..." Mu Run suddenly remembered someone, "By the way, where's your brother Wang Yaozong?"
Yao Yao sighed when she thought of her brother, "He listens to my sister completely, and he's doing business in Changyi City now."
"The former capital of the Wu Kingdom?" Mu Run thought, that's quite far away. Even if Wang Yaozong wanted to help Yao Yao, he couldn't reach her.
Yao Yao said, "Yes. I don't expect my brother to stand up for me. My sister-in-law is not very open-minded and is difficult to get along with. She is always afraid of getting into trouble. Apart from sending a letter to let us know she is safe during holidays, we hardly have any deeper contact."
"In that case, forget it. You can stay in the palace from now on."
"As long as Your Majesty does not despise me, I will be Your Majesty's person in life and in death."
"Then it's settled." Mu Run smiled. Yao Yao was in a very bad state right now, so it was good for her to be around to prevent any further trouble.
As for the future, let's wait and see.
