The Queen Mother's strength almost caused Wang Xifeng to have a mental breakdown.
She finally began to regret why she didn't listen to Jia Lian and got involved in the loan.
In fact, with the current ability of the heartless family, the family does not lack the little interest earned from lending.
I took out a loan for a year, and the total interest was only a little over a thousand taels, which was just a fraction of what a heartless person would earn.
The funny thing is that she still remembers that she was once complacent about this, feeling that she was smart and courageous and could realize her own value.
Indeed, more than a thousand taels, although it is not comparable to what Jia Lian earns, it is still the sum of a year's salary plus rice for a second- and third-grade high-ranking official.
In other words, she is better than those officials, and the money she earns is enough to support a middle-class family.
Therefore, Jia Lian taught her a lesson that day and told her to tell the truth about whether she had done any bad things outside, so she refused to say anything about it, and she was secretly happy that she had concealed it from Jia Lian.
Who would have thought that it would lay the foundation for today's disaster!
She and Jia Lian were married couples who had performed six rituals and were carried into the Rongguo Mansion by eight-carriage sedans.
Even the Queen Mother will be criticized if she wants to take away her man.
So, originally she was taking care of this matter.
However, now that the Queen Mother has taken advantage of it, life, death, and reputation all depend on the Queen Mother's thoughts, let alone accounting.
For a woman, especially a wife like her, reputation is more important than life.
At this moment, she finally felt real fear.
Heartless person, where are you? Can you help me...
Wang Xifeng was crying, and the Queen Mother looked down at her coldly.
"A person who has lost his moral character and violated the laws of the country is naturally not qualified to be the wife of an official of the Wei Dynasty.
As long as I am willing, I can immediately deprive you of your imperial status, and even hand you over to a judge.
However, considering that you are a first-time offender and your ancestors have performed meritorious service for the Wei Dynasty, I can be lenient to you.
As long as you are willing to take the initiative to make peace with Jia Lian, I will not only forgive you for your crimes, but the compensation I told you before will still be valid."
The Queen Mother's words sounded so righteous that it was impossible to refute.
Indeed, women in the world, especially those within and outside the imperial court, have been under the control of the queen since ancient times.
And the Queen Mother, as a former Queen, is now promoted to the Queen Mother, so she naturally still has this power. It can even be said that the Queen Mother's power is delegated to the Queen.
Just like the Supreme Emperor to the Emperor.
Therefore, as Wang Xifeng, a second-grade imperial concubine, her life, death, wealth, and honor are naturally in the hands of the Queen Mother.
Moreover, it sounds like the Queen Mother is already very magnanimous.
Anyway, she is not qualified to be Jia Lian's wife. As long as she takes the initiative to reconcile with Jia Lian, the Queen Mother can forgive her and even compensate her.
It seemed that she had no other choice.
If the Queen Mother is disrespected, the Queen Mother can deprive her of everything, including her rights as Jia Lian's wife.
If you follow the Queen Mother's words, you can at least preserve your dignity and escape unscathed.
All in all, no matter whether she agrees or not, she and Jia Lian can no longer be husband and wife.
But at this moment, Wang Xifeng suddenly understood.
What kind of bad moral conduct, what kind of lending violates national laws, are just excuses made by the Queen Mother.
They just took a fancy to her man and tried their best to snatch her away.
Wang Xifeng, who is outspoken and aggressive by nature, wants to scold her mother, but she understands the pros and cons and doesn't dare.
If you really offend the Queen Mother, let alone her, I'm afraid the whole family will suffer.
Therefore, after sitting on the ground and crying for a long time, facing the patient and kind Queen Mother, Wang Xifeng turned over and knelt on the ground and replied: "Thank you very much for Your Majesty's magnanimity. I am willing to obey the Queen Mother's decree.
However, since ancient times, it has been a man's right to divorce his wife, and it has never been heard of a woman abandoning her husband.
As long as Jia Lian and General Jia give the wife a letter of divorce, she will immediately leave the Duke's Mansion and wish General Jia and Her Royal Highness the princess a happy couple and a happy marriage for a hundred years."
After all, Wang Xifeng is not a stupid woman. After calming down, she replied like this.
The Queen Mother could never resist, so she could only agree.
Gu Zhen
However, she was unwilling to give up like this.
Even if she is at fault, Jia Lian must admit that he no longer wants her. It must not be that she cannot bear the pressure and takes the initiative to escape.
She secretly hoped that the princess must be very ugly, so ugly that no one wanted her, so she wanted to steal her man!
If that were the case, I would definitely not do it with unscrupulous self-respect and pride, and that would be a little bit problematic.
If not...
She could not imagine why Jia Lian would reject the Queen Mother and refuse the glory and wealth that would rise to the sky in one step.
But even if she is destined to be robbed of her man, she will let Jia Lian take the initiative to divorce her.
She wanted to make Jia Lian feel guilty, and let Jia Lian always remember that it was the princess who snatched him away by virtue of her privileges, and it was also the princess who made Sister Qiao lose her mother!
After someone robs you of your man, you still want to wish the other person and your own man a loving couple and a happy marriage forever? How is that possible!
At least there should be a thorn in the middle between her and No Conscience, so that she can suffer on her own and never get the true love of No Conscience.
As for what reconciliation is...
That was just a nicer way of saying divorce. Anyway, she had never thought about marrying anyone else. She had lost all her face anyway, so she was not afraid of another divorce letter.
This is Wang Xifeng's final plan.
Looking up, the Queen Mother's face suddenly darkened.
She didn't expect that Wang Xifeng, who seemed to have been completely crushed by her, could respond like this.
She thought that when Wang Xifeng knew that it was irreversible, she would either make jokes or give in silently. Even if she was really reluctant to leave Jia Lian, she would beg her and agree to let her stay with Jia Lian as a side wife or something like that. .
In fact, she may not be able to agree.
Unexpectedly, this seemingly superficial woman suddenly became strong in the end!
She bluntly said that as long as Jia Lian gave her a divorce note, she would no longer be entangled. Even if she was the Queen Mother, it was difficult to refute this, because it was indeed reasonable.
If she doesn't even agree to this, wouldn't it mean that she, the Queen Mother, is really incompetent and has no way to deal with a minister, so she just bullies a weak woman like her, who only picks on the weak?
Although it seems that this is what she did, the Queen Mother certainly cannot admit it!
In fact, it wasn't that she had nothing to do with Jia Lian, she just didn't want to make a big fuss.
Compared with Jia Lian, a foreign minister who seems to have a lot of backbone, he is naturally much easier to deal with as a married woman.
"Since you agreed, I will not break the contract, so I will not embarrass you any more.
But if you let me know that you behaved in front of me and then tried to obstruct this matter in every possible way after you returned, I will not be lenient.
As for the divorce letter you mentioned, you will receive it.
Okay, someone, come and take her down."
Faced with the tough attitude of the Queen Mother, Wang Xifeng had no other choice. She glanced at the Queen Mother, stood up silently, and left Weiyang Palace with the smiling palace people.
In the palace, as soon as Wang Xifeng left, Princess Zhaoyang walked out from the side.
Although Wang Xifeng did not see her, she had already seen Wang Xifeng thoroughly.
Because unlike the Queen Mother, she had investigated Wang Xifeng in advance, so when she saw how Jia Lian protected his wife, she thought Wang Xifeng would be a gentle and elegant lady, so Jia Lian was unwilling to abandon her and choose her.
But based on what she had just observed and what she had heard about the "crimes" the Imperial Grandmother had recited, to be honest, she was a little disappointed.
She has a very high vision, but secretly lost to such a shallow woman, which is a blow to her self-confidence.
She walked up to the Queen Mother and asked, "Grandmother, do you think Jia Lian will really write a letter of divorce?"
From his tone before, he didn't sound like someone who would compromise easily.
If he really doesn't want to and makes a fuss, it will bring bad reputation to the Tian family...
It doesn’t matter to my granddaughter, I’m just afraid that it will injure the imperial grandmother.”
Facing Zhaoyang, the Queen Mother completely lost her previous indifference and inhumanity. She smiled and touched her granddaughter's hand and said with a smile: "There is nothing to harm me.
Don't think there's anything wrong with you. A bit of gossip from idlers is worthless to your lifelong happiness.
My Zhaoyang has always been the bravest, isn't he?"
Faced with the Queen Mother's encouragement, Princess Zhaoyang, who had doubts in her heart, finally nodded.
She also felt that Wang Xifeng was not worthy of Jia Lian.
