When Cui Wenqing saw this, she got up from the cushion she had been sitting on, pointed at her and asked in a low voice, "What do you want to do? Why don't you go back? As a clan wife, don't you have this much sense of propriety?"

Wang, as the wife of the old lady's eldest grandson, is the mistress of the Cui family.

She should preside over the funeral and wear mourning clothes.

His intestines were filled with regret!

In the beginning, I shouldn't have listened to my parents' arrangement and married this ignorant woman, which led to this series of troubles.

When everyone saw Wang's outfit, they were stunned.

Fortunately, because Qin Yaoguang was there, no one else was allowed to enter the mourning hall to pay their respects and was temporarily kept outside the door.

The mourning hall was filled with people from the Cui family.

Wang just glanced at Cui Wenqing and remained unmoved.

Behind her followed two tall and strong women who looked quite skilled.

Cui Wenqing was sweating profusely, soaking the white silk tied on his forehead: "For the sake of our long-term marriage, as long as you go back and reflect on yourself, I won't hold it against you, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?"

Wang was not afraid at all. She took the document from Yichun and handed it to Cui Wenqing.

She strode up to Qin Yaoguang and greeted him respectfully: "Today, I, the subject, ask to leave the hall. I hope Your Highness will be a witness! From now on, I am no longer a woman of the Cui family! I have nothing to do with the Cui family anymore."

Ask to leave?

Mrs. Wang's voice was so loud that people outside the mourning hall could hear it.

In an instant, the inside and outside of the mourning hall seemed to be paused and fell into deathly silence.

Only the eminent monks were not affected and continued to recite the sutras as usual.

Qin Yaoguang lowered her eyes and looked at Wang.

It is said that a brave man cuts off his own arm, and Wang’s courage is no less than that of the former.

Maybe she was not smart enough, but she finally reported the matter to the Empress Dowager.

When she found that even the Empress Dowager was unable to suppress the Cui family, and instead caused the Cui family to perish together and even sacrificed the old lady's life, she resolutely asked to resign.

Cui Wenqing was stunned.

He took the document handed over by Yichun and read it quickly.

It said that she knew she was unfilial, unfraternal, untalented and unvirtuous, and was unworthy of being the head wife of the Cui family, so she asked to leave.

He took a deep breath, walked up to Wang, reached out to pull her, and whispered, "Stop it! Is this reasonable?"

Wang gave him an emotionless look and said, "You still think I'm making a fuss?"

Cui Wenqing turned around and looked at his two children kneeling in front of the coffin: "What are you standing there for? Come and persuade your mother!"

Unexpectedly, the children pretended not to hear and buried their heads deeply.

I could see my daughter clutching her knees tightly, with a puddle of water in front of her eyes, which were tears from crying.

Wang said coldly, "It was all my own idea. It's useless for you to embarrass the child. Considering how the old lady treated me, I will bring my dowry after the funeral."

The child belongs to the Cui family and she can't take him away.

After that, she stopped arguing with Cui Wenqing and only asked Qin Yaoguang: "Your Highness, can I leave with you?"

Qin Yaoguang admitted that she had misjudged Wang several times.

At first, I thought she was a woman who was looking for a small advantage.

Later, I felt that she was not decisive enough.

Now it seems that it was not because she lacked courage, but because she was forced to do so for the sake of her two children.

Qin Yaoguang nodded slightly, turned and left, followed closely by Wang.

The two left the mourning hall, and were met with surprised looks from people along the way.

Wang was the mistress of the Cui family. Among the guests who came to pay their respects, who didn’t know her?

She held her back straight and looked straight ahead.

Now that she had burned her boats, she had no intention of turning back.

After leaving the Ningguo Mansion, Qin Yaoguang asked, "Are you going anywhere?"

Wang bowed her head and saluted her: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I will definitely repay your kindness for helping me today."

She asked to leave the palace, no longer had any imperial edicts, and even changed her own name.

Wang knew clearly that without Princess Leyang, she would not be able to leave the Cui family even if she made preparations in advance.

Seeing that she was confident and obviously not acting on impulse, Qin Yaoguang nodded at her and got on the carriage.

After returning to the Princess's Mansion, he handled some matters and arranged for the shopkeepers of Frost Shop and Rice Shop, which sold daily necessities, to check their inventory.

"After the hailstorm, there was heavy snow. You should take inventory and prepare to open the porridge factory."

Nowadays, the roads are difficult to travel on and the people affected by the disaster can only endure the hardship.

Once the official road is opened, the homeless people will flock to the capital, so we need to prepare in advance.

The imperial court would also provide disaster relief, but Qin Yaoguang would rather do it himself.

Firstly, she didn't want to just symbolically pay the money to go through the process.

Secondly, she did not believe that the government under the control of Grand Tutor Xie could be clean and honest and that the relief funds would actually be used for the victims.

Besides, the royal family no longer has much reputation among the people. As the eldest princess, since she has done real things, she cannot let others take away her reputation.

After staying in the princess's mansion for more than half an hour and giving instructions for everything, Qin Yaoguang returned to Xining Palace in the afternoon.

At the same time, the news that the eldest lady of the Ningguo Mansion had asked to resign spread like wildfire.

This incident happened during the old lady's funeral, and the whole capital was talking about it, making the Cui family very embarrassed.

The more covert news is that the Queen Mother no longer protects the Cui family.

The clothes, jewelry, and condolence gift list that Le Yang wore at the funeral hall all illustrate this fact.

Is it possible that the Cui family is going to fall?

Picking the red plum blossom next to Qin Yaoguang's bun with her own hands, the Empress Dowager said, "I never thought that I would be wrong sometimes. This Wang is so cruel that she can even abandon her own children."

Qin Yaoguang pursed his lips and asked, "Mother, do you think that I shouldn't testify for her?"

The Queen Mother shook her head: "No."

She kept the red plum in clear water and said, "Since she is determined, if it's not you, there are other ways. It's better to make a good relationship with her, so that we can have a long future together."

With the Empress Dowager's words, Qin Yaoguang finally felt relieved.

In the face of the life-and-death political struggle, she is at best a relatively smart newbie.

Fortunately, she has a mother.

In the following time, Qin Yaoguang stayed in the palace most of the time, accompanying the Empress Dowager.

The snow finally stopped.

The sun was shining brightly for several days in a row.

Jingzhao Prefecture organized laborers to shovel snow on the official road and maintain the roadbed.

Before anyone knew it, there were many more refugees in the capital who were ragged, pale and skinny.

At the Princess's Mansion, Zeng Xiangjin was finally able to deliver the rice, flour, grain, oil, charcoal and other items that he had prepared long ago to the villa.

The detectives from Jingzhao Prefecture followed the convoy to the imperial farm to investigate the case of the siege that day.

On the second day when the official road was clear, Chun Ning returned to Beijing with a few children, and Fang Ting took Qing Bai who was still recovering from his injuries.

Chunning came to the palace as soon as possible to pay respects to the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager asked her to stay with Qin Yaoguang for dinner, and then began to drive them away: "You are all married women, each with your own residence. You have been in my palace for too long, and it is not right for you. So go back!"

The two left reluctantly, and when they arrived at the palace gate, they saw a cute little head sticking out of the carriage.

It’s Xiaowu.
