Why would the Imperial Noble Consort suddenly change her mind? Connecting this to Su Mingfeng's unusual behavior, Zhang suddenly realized!
Enraged, Madam Zhang immediately went to the study to question Su Mingfeng, "Did you tell the Imperial Noble Consort that Tang'er was unwilling to marry the First Prince, so the Imperial Noble Consort changed her mind and had the Emperor drop Tang'er's name on the list? Is that right or wrong?"
Su Mingfeng looked away and said indifferently, "The Emperor's mind is unfathomable. How could I possibly know what His Majesty is planning?"
Staring intently at him, Zhang's eyes flashed with suspicion. "You didn't know? Can you swear you didn't interfere?"
Su Mingfeng had always been reluctant to lie, but this time, he changed his mind. He knew very well that if he admitted it, endless arguing would follow. To have some peace and quiet, he denied it without batting an eye:
"No! His Majesty has his own reasons for making this arrangement, so don't make any unfounded speculations."
“Our daughter is beautiful and talented, and she’s also the niece of the Imperial Noble Consort. Even if she’s not betrothed to the First Prince, she could be married to another member of the imperial family. How could she possibly be rejected?” Zhang was completely baffled and insisted that Su Mingfeng ask the Emperor for an explanation. Su Mingfeng was extremely annoyed.
"The Emperor's bestowal of marriage is a favor; if he hadn't, we wouldn't have had the right to complain. I'm just a Minister; you want me to question the Emperor? Do you think my rank is too high and want me to be demoted?"
Tired of listening to her rambling, Su Mingfeng tried to leave, but was pulled back by her. "Stop right there! You have to give me an explanation today!"
She kept tugging and pulling, and Su Mingfeng impatiently shook her off. Zhang lost her balance and stumbled to the ground. In pain, she began to cry and accuse Su Mingfeng.
"You hit me! How dare you hit me! Even my parents wouldn't lay a hand on me, what right do you have to do that to me?"
Su Mingfeng was both shocked and exasperated. "You fell down on your own. When did I ever hit you?"
He bent down to help her up, but she shook off his hand, refusing to let him touch her, and resolutely refused to get up.
"I've been married to you for so many years, and I've never had a single good day. Now you're even hitting me! If you don't want to live like this anymore, then let's get a divorce!"
Although Su Mingfeng was annoyed, he thought that as a grown man, he shouldn't argue with a woman, so he apologized to her, saying that his attitude was bad and asking for her forgiveness.
However, Zhang believed that he had ruined her daughter's good marriage, not only destroying the Zhang family's plans but also causing her to lose face.
She refused to forgive Su Mingfeng and insisted on a divorce, ordering her to pack her things and return to her parents' home.
