Madam Zhang’s eyes immediately lit up with hope, no longer carrying the gloominess from before!
She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and said, “Thank goodness, my daughter is resilient. I have finally weathered the storm!”
In the two-plus months at the Grand Chancellor’s Temple, she endured hardships she had never experienced in her entire life.
Old Madam Liu, in order to retaliate against her, had been relentless during this period, making her perform all the tasks that a servant would.
She had to wake up before dawn every day, stand in front of her mother-in-law waiting to serve, and prepare water for washing.
When her mother-in-law got up, she had to assist with dressing and serve Old Madam Liu breakfast.
If anything was not to Old Madam Liu’s satisfaction, she would face either a scolding or even a beating with a Zen whip!

At this moment, there were still marks of beatings on Madam Zhang’s face, and her body was covered in the signs of the abuse!
But now—
“My daughter has been conferred the title of Crown Princess! I no longer need to endure that old hag!”
Grandma Cai also smiled, saying, “Yes, Madam, you can stand up for yourself now!”
Just as they were talking, the servant who attended to Old Madam Liu cover, “Madam, the old lady is calling for you.”
Though she said ‘calling’, the servant’s attitude was anything but polite. Looking at Madam Zhang with contempt, as if she were an ant!
Madam Zhang snorted and said, “I was just thinking of visiting this esteemed mother-in-law of mine!”
She then picked up her high and mighty demeanor as the Grand Chancellor’s wife and walked towards the Zen room where Old Madam Liu resided!
The rain continued to fall as Madam Zhang walked towards the side of Lady Zhu’s, her shoes completely soaked.
But the joy in her heart kept her warm, and she didn’t feel uncomfortable at all!
However, as soon as she entered the door, a whip cdown on her!
A fiery pain!
Madam Zhang couldn’t help but scream, “Ah!”
In the meditation room, a stern-looking old woman with a Zen whip in hand, adorned with flowers in her hair and a fierce expression on her face, was Lady Zhu, the foster mother of Liu Fuyun.
Years of austere temple life had turned this woman, in her early fifties, into a sharp-tongued old lady who looked as aged as a sixty or seventy-year-old crone, with a particularly fierce appearance.
Of course, she only looked that old.
Her strength was still formidable; the whip tore through Madam Zhang’s clothes, revealing bloodstains!

After scolding a few more words, Lady Zhu felt that one whip was not enough and raised it again!
Since arriving at the Grand Chancellor’s Temple, Madam Zhang had been beaten many times. Initially lacking the confidence to confront the old woman, she was now more assertive.
But now she had confidence!
She grabbed the whip before Lady Zhu could strike again and said, “Mother-in-law, I have good news for you!”
Compared to any other tat the Grand Chancellor’s Temple, Madam Zhang seemed more spirited. She smiled and said, “Your obedient granddaughter, born from my womb, is about to becthe Crown Princess! She’s getting married on the Mid-Autumn Festival, and she’s coming to takeback!”
Due to her joy, every word she spoke carried extra force.
After finishing her announcement, she tossed the whip aside, pushed Lady Zhu aside, and sat on a chair, saying, “My days of suffering are finally over! Mother-in-law, do you think I’ll still endure you?”
The more she spoke, the more triumphant she became, a bold smile on her face. “Back then, I only brought you to the Grand Chancellor’s Temple, never mistreated you! And yet, during this period, you’ve scolded and beaten me. What do you think…. how will I show my filial piety to you in the future, dear mother-in-law?”
