Just as Prime Minister Feng was about to plead for mercy, the old lady of the Feng family beat him to it. "Your Highness, you can't offend the ministers of our Qin Dynasty just for a foreign princess."
"Shut up!" Prime Minister Feng was almost scared to death by the old lady's words.
"Why should I shut up? Those two lowly maidservants don't know their place. What's wrong with me teaching them a lesson?" Prime Minister Feng looked at the old lady, who still didn't know her mistake even at this moment, and suddenly felt dizzy.
"Your Highness, this old woman thinks that those who have no manners should be divorced. There's no need to keep them at all." After all, for a woman, isn't her husband her sky?
"This old woman thinks that Qiao'er is a perfect match for Your Highness. With the support of our Feng family behind her, she is also well - educated, kind - hearted and considerate." She will surely become a virtuous helper to Your Highness.
"Do you want me to divorce the princess consort and marry your granddaughter instead?" Yuan Yuhan was no longer in a hurry. Just now, the secret guard came back and said that A Ru's emotions had stabilized, and she wanted him to handle this matter properly.
How could he let A Ru down?
"This old woman doesn't dare to talk nonsense, but this old woman thinks that Qiao'er is the most suitable person for Your Highness." The old lady of the Feng family had seen Feng Qiao's thoughts at a glance. If they could get in touch with the Regent, she didn't mind giving her a hand.
Hearing the old lady's words, Feng Qiao shyly hid herself. But after hiding, she was afraid that the Regent couldn't see her, so she quietly showed her head and looked at Yuan Yuhan affectionately.
The old lady's words shocked everyone present, especially the people from the Wu family. They were originally happy to be connected with the Feng family, but now, to hell with it.
"Old Lady Feng, do you mean that you want to break off the engagement with our Wu family?" After thinking it through, Lady Wu decided to cut off the relationship with the Feng family.
"His Highness has taken a fancy to our Qiao'er. Of course, our Qiao'er should marry into the Prince's Mansion." The old lady of the Feng family nailed this matter down without thinking that the Regent had never agreed.
"Fine. Since that's the case, our son will break off the relationship with your Feng Qiao. From now on, we'll be strangers, and our two families will have nothing to do with each other!" She mustn't let the Feng family drag her family down in the future.
"What do you think, Lord Feng?" Yuan Yuhan looked at Prime Minister Feng without any emotional fluctuation in his eyes, as if he was asking an unimportant question.
"I don't dare to make a decision." Prime Minister Feng knew that the Regent was not asking about the engagement with the Wu family, but about the matter of Feng Qiao trying to replace the princess consort.
Now he even wanted to die. He had finally climbed to this position. How could it be ruined by these two women?
"Do you think I'm too good - tempered? Now all of you are so bold as to dictate in front of me?" Yuan Yuhan put away his previous non -chalant expression and scolded the Feng family.
"Your Highness, please calm down." The old lady of the Feng family finally knew fear. She knelt on the ground with her head down.
"The princess consort and I were betrothed by the late emperor. Now you want to go against the late emperor's edict and arrange another princess consort for me. Fine." Yuan Yuhan looked at them with a smile.
The old lady of the Feng family was originally worried that the Regent would convict them, but after hearing the word "fine", her eyes lit up. Was their Feng family going to have a princess consort?
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness. Qiao'er will surely..." Before the old lady of the Feng family could finish her words, she was stunned by Yuan Yuhan's next words.
"Feng Qiao of the Feng family is rude, has offended the princess consort, attempted to harm my child, is jealous, untrustworthy, and has deceived others' feelings..." Yuan Yuhan listed all the crimes he could think of. Finally, he concluded, "Considering Lord Feng's dedication to the court, I'll spare her life and send her to a brothel for three years!"
Before the old lady of the Feng family and Feng Qiao could be happy, they heard this. Feng Qiao collapsed on the ground and looked at Yuan Yuhan in horror.
"No... I don't want to go... Please, Your Highness, show mercy. Feng Qiao has never had the idea of replacing the princess consort. Please, Your Highness, show mercy..." Feng Qiao knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing.
Yuan Yuhan didn't say a word. He looked at Feng Qiao sarcastically. Show mercy? A Ru almost divorced him because of you people. Who will show mercy to him?
After hearing this, Prime Minister Feng relaxed. Fortunately, fortunately, his family wasn't implicated. Fortunately, fortunately.
"Father, father, please save Qiao'er, save Qiao'er..." Feng Qiao crawled to Prime Minister Feng's side crying and kept tugging at his sleeve for help.
"Qiao'er, the will of heaven is hard to go against. You stay there obediently. Father will visit you when he has time." With that, he pulled Feng Qiao's hand off his sleeve.
She should be lucky to exchange her own safety for the lives of the entire Feng Mansion.
"The old lady of the Feng family doesn't understand women's virtues. From now on, she should copy the book on women's virtues in the Feng Mansion. In addition, add a copy of the Buddhist scriptures. I'll go to the palace to ask the emperor for some old nannies to teach the old lady of the Feng family some rules.
Oh, by the way, all the copied things should be handed over to the Prince's Mansion every day. When the princess consort calms down, the old lady of the Feng family doesn't need to copy anymore."
After Yuan Yuhan finished speaking, Prime Minister Feng didn't object. It was just copying some things. It wasn't a big deal.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness."
Yuan Yuhan didn't want to stay any longer. He turned around and left with his people.
After seeing Yuan Yuhan leave, others started to talk in whispers, especially Lady Wu. She was almost grinning from ear to ear.
"Look, look, old lady. Isn't this self - inflicted?"
The old lady of the Feng family didn't say a word. She seemed not to have recovered from the sudden change.
"Fortunately, I was decisive just now. Otherwise, our family might have suffered too." Lady Wu looked at the old lady of the Feng family proudly and was about to find Lord Wu to leave together.
Just as Lady Wu and the others reached the main entrance of the Feng Mansion, they were called to stop by the old lady of the Feng family.
"Lady Wu, please wait a moment." The old lady of the Feng family limped over with a walking stick in a hurry. She was sweating all over, which showed that she had come out in a hurry.
"Does the old lady of the Feng family have anything else to say?" Lady Wu just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.
"Lady Wu, after Qiao'er comes out of there three years later, she still has to marry into the Wu family." The old lady of the Feng family said seriously.
Hearing the old lady's words, Lady Wu felt as if she had eaten something disgusting. A woman who had come out of a brothel still wanted her son to marry? Was this old lady of the Feng family crazy?
"Old Lady Feng, just now in the hall, our two families have already canceled the engagement between them."
