Ji Mingzhu returned to the Duke Mansion, her face yet to recover its calm.
Everyone assumed she had been reprimanded again.
The old matron considered it thoroughly and truly decided to divorce her grandson's wife.
Xie Yunzhen had recently brought up the matter of Duke Xie's concubinage back in the day.
This time, the old matron didn't want to be the villainess.
Nor did she want her own son to be held in resentment.
So, she intended to pass the troublesome matter over to Princess An He.
Personally going to the main courtyard to discuss the divorce.
"Ah Zhen's situation hasn't been resolved, yet she dared to defy imperial orders, sneaking out of the mansion, even causing a scene in the Imperial Palace, as if afraid others wouldn't know what she did. A daughter-in-law like this is not one our Xie family can afford."
Princess An He leaned against the bedpost, looking listless.
Upon hearing the old matron's voice, she felt entirely irritated.
