In an instant.
Their hearts were in their throats, and they stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
“Princess Weiyang, this is the divorce decree written by His Majesty.” Eunuch Liu presented the divorce decree with both hands.
Everyone was greatly surprised when they heard this.
It's not a letter of divorce!
Mu Chenshuang said in a deep voice, "I would like to trouble Eunuch Liu to read it aloud in front of everyone."
Eunuch Liu complied with Mu Chenshuang's request and read out the terms of the divorce agreement in front of everyone.
The edict first praised Mu Chenshuang's merits and Feng Xilan's virtues, without mentioning the reason for their separation. However, it implied that the two parted amicably, which also deterred those who wanted to speculate and gossip.
Upon hearing the contents of the divorce agreement, everyone's faces turned extremely awkward, as if they had been slapped hard across the face, leaving them feeling utterly ashamed.
This is truly a farce.
Madam Lu didn't even bother to understand the situation before yelling at people to kneel down, making them feel embarrassed here.
After Eunuch Liu finished reading the edict, he respectfully handed it to Mu Chenshuang.
"Eunuch Liu, you've worked hard."
"It's no trouble at all. Then this servant will take his leave. I wish Princess Weiyang will find a good husband again."
Thank you.
Several eunuchs then left the Marquis's residence.
Lu Wei and Mu Yazhi's faces turned pale and then red, their eyes filled with astonishment.
"Aren't you going to apologize to me?"
Mu Yazhi came to her senses, clenched her fists, and felt the contemptuous gazes coming from all directions. She couldn't hide the resentment and anger in her eyes. Why was it like this? This woman should have been divorced. Why was it a divorce decree?
wrong.
It must be because of Fu Junheng!
She was about to speak in anger.
Lu Wei suddenly grabbed her wrist, adopting the air of a noble lady, and forced a smile, saying, "Shuang'er, we were in the wrong. After all, what happened last night, plus your return to the manor today after the divorce, makes it hard for me to doubt that you made a mistake."
"So, Aunt Lu, you are a person without judgment. You know that Crown Prince Junheng and Prince Xiaoyao have a close relationship, but you still concluded that I have an affair with him. In this case, there must be many wrongful convictions in this Marquis's mansion."
These words were like a resounding slap in the face to Lu Wei, leaving her utterly ashamed and humiliated.
Lu Wei dared not retaliate and could only accept her defeat.
"There is no wrongful conviction, but since it concerns you, Shuang'er, it's easy to get confused out of concern."
Mu Chenshuang gave a cold laugh, "Is that so!"
She truly admired Lu Wei's mental fortitude.
It's alright.
There will be plenty of time later.
"If that's the case, how long is Aunt Lu going to block the door?"
Lu Wei could only clench her fingers secretly, while trying her best to maintain her composure on the surface, "Let's go back to the manor first!"
Lu Wei didn't step aside; instead, she turned and walked ahead of Mu Chenshuang.
Mu Chenshuang didn't make a big deal out of it.
As the farce ended, the onlookers gradually dispersed.
We arrived at the Marquis's residence.
"Your aunt is not feeling well today, so let Zhang Mama take you back to Siyun Pavilion to rest. If you need anything, just let me know, and everything will be arranged for you as before."
Even after the farce, she can still pretend that nothing happened and act all friendly.
Mu Chenshuang's face was cold and aloof as she said in a cold voice, "I'm still used to living in my old place. I'd appreciate it if you could move out today, sister."
The courtyard where Mu Chenshuang originally lived has been occupied by Mu Yazhi. However, it was not actually Mu Yazhi who took over it. Mu Chenshuang had genuinely treated her like a younger sister and, after being coaxed a few times, gave her her courtyard.
Upon hearing this, Mu Yazhi became displeased. "Sister, you've gone too far. You were the one who said you would give it to me."
Mu Chenshuang stared coldly at Mu Yazhi, not waiting for her to speak.
"Ya'er, go pack your things and give them back to your sister," Lu Wei interrupted.
Mu Yazhi snorted angrily and left reluctantly.
Mu Chenshuang returned to her room.
Linglong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Miss, I was really scared to death today. His Majesty's edict came just in time. But Miss, did His Majesty issue the edict because of Crown Prince Junheng?"
