Madam Shu had wept until her snot and tears were plastered to her face. At this moment, her image was totally destroyed!
Two eunuchs came forward and directly picked her up from the floor. They each took her by the arm, propping her up as they headed out of the Brilliant Sun Hall.
However, Madam Shu was stomping her two legs while releasing incessant shrieks, and she was making such a huge scene that even Queen Zhao couldn’t pretend to not have heard her.
Queen Zhao walked over with Elderly Nanny Huaxuan, Nanny Qing, as well as several royal maids, and she couldn’t help but feel her head hurting when she saw such a standoff.
“Your Majesty the Queen, Your Majesty the Queen.” In a last-ditch struggle, Madam Shu wanted to throw herself at the queen, yet the two eunuchs were holding her down unwaveringly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Crown Prince, this is?” Queen Zhao had actually long known that the crown prince consort and the mother and daughter duo from the Shu Family had gotten into a quarrel, but she just wanted to see how much fighting strength the Shu Family duo possessed.
Yet looking at the tragic sight of their crushing defeat now, they were completely not the Qiao Family trio’s match. More precisely, they couldn’t vie with the crown prince consort in even the slightest.
“Drag them away!” The crown prince waved his hand impatiently. Queen Zhao didn’t stop him either, so everyone just stared on blankly as Madam Shu, who now looked like a beggar, was dragged away while screaming crazily.
Shu Hui’s small face involuntarily turned ghastly pale. She could neither remain there, nor could she leave, so she pitifully raised her head to look at Queen Zhao.
“Throw her out together as well.” The crown prince pointed at the ashen-faced Shu Hui.
Queen Zhao’s expression instantly changed. “My royal son.”
Crown Prince Mo turned to look at Queen Zhao, and he directly declared in anger, “Royal Mother, if this son’s wife has to suffer grievances in your Brilliant Sun Hall every time, then this son won’t dare bring her over in the future!”
Queen Zhao wore a sullen expression, but she also couldn’t help being anxious. “Nonsense! How did Royal Mother let her suffer a grievance? Wasn’t it just a small quarrel with the Shu Family? It’s all a misunderstanding.”
This crown prince consort was too finicky. Queen Zhao felt displeased.
“Madam Shu pointed straight at my mother, cursing that my sister wouldn’t be able to get married. Does the queen want to hear it for herself?” Qiao Mu questioned coldly.
Queen Zhao’s heart sank with a thump, and she secretly scolded Madam Shu for not knowing how to conduct herself. She smiled with difficulty as she consoled, “Crown Prince Consort, you’ve suffered a grievance. Royal Mother will properly compensate you.”
Nevertheless, Qiao Mu said frostily, “Compensation is not needed. However, I hope that Your Majesty the Queen will properly discipline Madam Shu as a warning, so that she won’t view the sky from the bottom of a well and not know the immensity of heaven.”
“Royal Mother, issue a decree to send an indoctrinating nanny over to Madam Shu. Have her relearn social etiquette and ceremony anew for three months, in case she boasts how well-disciplined she is every time she meets someone.” Crown Prince Mo grasped Queen Zhao’s arm and swayed it back and forth. Looking at her son, Queen Zhao was completely helpless against him.
If she issued such a decree, that would make Madam Shu a public laughing-stock of the capital!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMadam Shu had always bragged how she had educated a pair of remarkable young ladies, yet she had to relearn discipline anew at her advanced age. This truly was sarcastic.

But if she didn’t go along with her son today, it seemed like he wouldn’t be able to swallow this grievance.
After weighing the matter over in her mind multiple times, Queen Zhao still felt that her son was more important. She was afraid that her treasured son really wouldn’t come to the Brilliant Sun Hall in the future, so she issued a queen’s decree to the Shu Family.
When the badly battered Madam Shu received this decree, she felt as if she had been struck by a thunderbolt from out of the blue, and she made a fuss over wanting to hang herself. Of course, this was all a later part of the story.
When it was finally time for the evening banquet, Qiao Mu, who was full of energy after her nap, followed Crown Prince Mo into Clearwater Fine Park.
Evening fell rather earlier in the winter, so the night luminous pearls among the flowers had already lit up, illuminating their surroundings into an ethereal setting.
“The crown prince and the crown prince consort are here!”
With this announcement, all the people from the eight great patrician families inside the brightly-lit audience hall simultaneously turned to look at the entrance.
