C137 (1/2)
The palace servants carefully invited the pampered woman in. Before the empress dowager could speak, she had already kneeled down.
Startled, the empress dowager hurried forward to help her up. ”What's going on? You're crying so early in the morning. ”
An Yang leaned against the empress dowager's chest, crying her heart out. She thought of Xiao Qian's decisiveness and his anger and hatred.
”Who's pissing you off, tell This Dowager instead!”
”Who else could it be? Brother Xiao has gone too far!”
It was that Xiao Qian again. The empress dowager could only helplessly shake her head. He'd come to the palace day after day just for a man, and every time he'd look bad. He didn't know how charming that man was, but he was so angry that he couldn't bear to let go.
”What did he do to you?”
An Yang stopped crying, gritting his teeth in anger. ”He dares to abandon me for a widow.”
Her Majesty was surprised. ”Widow?”
”Yeah, she wouldn't marry me because of that woman.”
This time, the empress dowager was in a bit of a predicament. Logically speaking, Xiao Gan wasn't engaged to An Yang, so she should've had her wishful thinking. She didn't care who he was good at, but when she heard that he was a widow, the empress dowager was somewhat surprised.
Just what kind of girl would be able to hook the heart of the great General Xiao? She actually left her dainty granddaughter to marry a widow.
”Where did that woman come from?”
An Yang snorted disdainfully. ”She's a woman from the countryside. She even brought two children with her to do some small business in Xuan City. Her means are quite good.”
The empress dowager nodded in understanding. She was also a little curious about what Su Zhi herself looked like. What kind of woman could make a general put down his haughtiness and status, and not hesitate to give up a noble daughter to stay with her?
”Royal Grandmother, please help me teach that woman a lesson. Her skills are too brilliant. Big Brother Xiao must have been bewitched by her.”
The old woman frowned and thought for a while.
There were many excuses for wanting to teach someone who wasn't related to her a lesson, but as the empress dowager, she was afraid that doing so would arouse the displeasure of the Xiao family and attract the attention of court officials.
She thought for a moment and made up her mind. ”Go call that woman into the palace, and I will help you meet her.”
Anyang was a bit unhappy. He could find a random person to throw out Xuan City or lock her up in a prison. He had to call for her.
”Royal Grandmother, that's a country bumpkin, he can't even show his face. What are you doing if you see her? Don't dirty your eyes.”
The empress dowager poked the woman's forehead and lectured, ”Do you know why you aren't favored by Xiao Qian? You'll have to restrain your temper a bit. When you enter your husband's house in the future, it'll be inevitable that you'll have a short term and a daughter-in-law relationship. With your outspoken and outspoken attitude, if you don't change it, you'll only end up suffering later. ”
An Yang didn't seem to care. Madam Xiao valued her a lot. Besides, Madam Zhen wouldn't be able to live for long.
As long as they had Xiao Qian's heart, who would care about that?
”What use is it for you to see her? You have to make Brother Xiao give her up.”
”I just want to see what ability that woman has. Learn from her.”
Even though An Yang was unwilling, he had no choice but to compromise.
Half a cup of tea later, within Phoenix Nest Palace.
In the magnificent hall, no one dared to speak. The palace servants carefully waited at the side, afraid that they would accidentally anger their masters.
The peerless beauty lying on the bed was holding a blue eyed and white furred cat in her hand. Her ten fingers were dazzling red.
”That idiot An Yang went to find the empress dowager for Xiao Qian.”
But this time it was different. The empress dowager wanted to see the woman.
If not for Zhao Jian's mention of her, Empress Zhao would never have thought that the woman from six years ago was still alive.
