Song Huiru's knees slammed into the ground, and she felt as if her kneecaps were about to shatter.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Lord Yin passing by with his family, and they all saw her disheveled and ugly state. Suddenly, her nose tingled and tears fell.
Her experience in domestic and palace intrigue from her previous life, along with the advice Ji Fengyao had given her while feigning pitifulness, immediately gave her an idea.
She lay prostrate on the ground, crying pitifully, "Your Highness, I know I was wrong; the Princess is the mistress of the household, and the mistress is the most respected. Even if the Princess is in a bad mood and wants to punish me, I should accept it dutifully and dare not resist in the slightest."
As she cried, she glanced around and saw that Lord Yin's family and other passing palace servants all looked at her with sympathy.
The magpie flew into a rage and kicked her twice more: "Screw your sob story! You were the one who harbored ill intentions towards my young lady first, and you still have the nerve to play the victim! I think you're a troublemaker too, I might as well just beat you to death right now!"
Ji Fengyao rubbed her forehead:
Miss Magpie, you can't win against a white lotus flower like this!
Just as Ji Fengyao was about to feign fainting, she heard Shang Xiye say coldly, "Since you know you're wrong, then go back to your residence, pack your things, and go home."
Ji Fengyao: "!!!"
Holy crap, Master is still Master!
Even if he were to be reincarnated, it would still be so unexpected that it would leave people in awe!
Song Huiru was completely dumbfounded: "Your Highness, you...you want to divorce me?"
Shang Xiye put on a stern face and said very seriously, "Originally, this little matter wouldn't have been so serious. But inside and outside the manor, there have been many people who are dissatisfied with her because of her status as the Princess Consort, and even disrespectful to her, just like you did just now."
To curb this unhealthy trend and safeguard the status and dignity of the Queen, I have no choice but to make an example of you today.
After you return to your residence, I will prepare a separate dowry for you, so that you may use it when you marry in the future. That way, your trip to the palace won't have been in vain.
Let her be the chicken used as a 'deterrent'?
How could you, a prince of such high standing, utter such a childish remark!
Song Huiru's worldview was completely overturned by Shang Xiye. She stared blankly, mouth half-open, not knowing what to say.
It was Shanyu Heye who cleverly understood Shang Xiye's intention. He quickly knelt down beside Song Huiru and pleaded, "Your Highness, Huiru heard that Your Highness had recently returned to the capital and has been looking forward to your return day and night. In addition, she got up early today and didn't get enough rest, so she seemed a little dazed, which is why the Princess Consort misunderstood. Please, Your Highness and Princess Consort, have mercy and forgive Huiru this time."
Ji Fengyao asked casually, seemingly without thinking, "She got up early and late today, how did you know you two were staying in the same room?"
Upon hearing this question, the expressions of the people from the Prince's Mansion who had come with him immediately changed.
Upon hearing this, and recalling the scene in the Imperial Garden earlier, the officials and their wives who were watching the spectacle suddenly turned their sympathy for Song Huiru into contempt.
Song Huiru wanted to jump up and strangle this bandit!
To kill someone is to destroy their spirit; she must have done it on purpose!
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Shanyu Heye suddenly stammered as if feeling guilty: "I...I just...I'm just closer to Sister Huiru, and I go to her courtyard earlier this morning."
“You…!” Song Huiru was speechless.
If it weren't for Shanyu Heye pleading with Shang Xiye on her behalf, she really would have slapped Shanyu Heye, who was spouting nonsense, twice!
