Chapter 1105: Chapter 1110: Thousand-Year-Old Ginseng (1)

Before Nangong Yu could speak, Nangong Yi had already made his stance clear, resolutely standing by his wife’s side.

Upon hearing this, Empress Mo laughed angrily, "Good, very good, what a ’forgetting his mother after getting a wife’! Having gained a woman, he completely disregards his mother and sister, letting us be tormented to death by her. If this is the case, why doesn’t the Emperor simply issue a decree to put us to death? It would save us the trouble of being an eyesore in this palace."

Her words were clearly directed at Cai Wei, without any pretense of avoidance. Cai Wei couldn’t stand it and said sternly, "Imperial Mother, why would you say such a thing? I have only married into the family recently and have always adhered diligently to the duties of the Empress. I have exhausted all my efforts and have never dared to step out of line. Now you accuse me of such unfilial crimes; I cannot bear such accusations!"

Empress Dowager Mo coldly smiled, "Mu Caiwei, stop pretending to be knowledgeable and reasonable; it disgusts me. I have seen clearly your hypocritical skills. To think only of yourself after many hardships in raising my son. Surely, you must be delighted now. Argue with your mother-in-law in the morning, grind down your younger aunt at night—how could you have such a malicious heart? Yu’er, straightforward in nature, might have misspoken a few times, perhaps out of excessive fear and a desire to please you. If you are dissatisfied, tell me, and I will deal with her and vent your anger. But instead, you had the old palace maid sent to her palace to make everyone believe she lacks proper education and ruin her reputation. Now, at the age of marriage, who would dare to seek her hand?"

Hearing Empress Dowager Mo’s stern rebuke, Cai Wei revealed a mocking sneer, "Imperial Mother believes those were merely unintentional mistakes she made?"

"Of course, otherwise, why would she harm you?"

Since Empress Dowager Mo couldn’t find a reason for Nangong Yu to harm Cai Wei, she was even more convinced that it was an unintentional mistake.

However, Cai Wei coldly laughed, "If it was just one misstatement, perhaps it could be seen as an unintentional mistake, but repeatedly saying the wrong thing, how can one not suspect her intentions? Princess Zhao Yue is already sixteen, not a six-year-old little girl—how could she possibly make such elementary mistakes unless they were intentional?"

Before Cai Wei could finish, Nangong Yu ’thudded’ to her knees and cried, "Empress Dowager, Zhao Yue didn’t do it on purpose, really she didn’t. Although Zhao Yue had offended you before, my brother has already slapped her, and Zhao Yue has even married Saknu for you. Please spare me..."

Nangong Yu cried intensely, shivering, appearing utterly frightened.

Seeing her daughter terrified by Cai Wei, Empress Dowager Mo was extremely distressed, trembling with emotion. She quickly walked over, personally bent down to help her daughter up, held her in her embrace, and while patting her back, she glared hatefully at Cai Wei and shouted, "My child, you don’t have to kneel to her; she’s not worthy. You are a legitimate princess of the Great Jin Nation, with golden branches and jade leaves. Back when you were respected and honored inside the palace, she was still herding sheep and picking up cow dung in the countryside. She’s only puffing herself up because she hooked up with your muddle-headed brother who’s brain is fogged by lard. A despicable creature, and yet she dares to act like an empress in front of me. Even if you did provoke her intentionally, given her status, she has no right to deal with you."

At this moment, Empress Dowager Mo was both angry and heartbroken, truly ready to kill Cai Wei. She didn’t even want to maintain a pretense of decorum anymore and started openly scolding.

Cai Wei was also infuriated by Empress Dowager Mo’s words. She coldly laughed and said, "Imperial Mother Dowager, you are mistaken. No matter if I have herded sheep or picked up cow dung, my current position is clear here. I am now the Empress of the Great Jin Nation, the ruler of the six palaces, entrusted by the Emperor to oversee the six palaces. As long as Nangong Yu resides inside the palace, I have the authority and responsibility to discipline her. Let alone her, even if Imperial Mother Dowager herself makes a mistake, I still have the right to question it!"
