"Your humble servant truly realizes his error, but was left with no choice. I beg your majesty to spare my life!"
The villager, appearing before the imperial countenance, had long been scared out of his wits, kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy incessantly.
"I never thought the Pei Family would have such dirty dealings."
The Empress sighed deeply, looking at Yu Nianzhao with pity and compassion, "Poor Zhaozhao, to encounter such scum. A well-born daughter of a marquis household, discarded like this, what a tragedy."
Emperor Anqing also slammed the table, exclaiming angrily, "A dignified Marquis, deceived to such an extent? How can you even call yourselves parents?"
"Wahhh!"
Ms. Lien, upon hearing these words, understood all too well, and burst into tears, "Zhaozhao, it's your mother's fault for failing you. The person who brought such misery to your life was by my side all along. I respected her as always, never dreaming that Mrs. Pei could be so heartless."
