Chapter 555 Abandoning Wife and Son
This made her mistakenly believe that the other person was dead for the past seventeen years.
When Mrs. Cao learned about this, she was still able to control herself.
But now that she saw Empress Dowager Yuan and Jiang Yanfan standing together, it was hard for her to calm down the hatred in her heart.
Madam Cao pinched her palms hard to avoid losing her manners in front of the palace.
She said word by word: "You are the Queen Mother, you are honored as a noble woman, and I am just an ordinary mistress of the harem, born to work hard."
"This palace has high walls. If you don't summon me, how can I see you?"
Empress Dowager Yuan sneered in her heart. She knew very well that Madam Cao was just trying to annoy her on purpose.
She didn't ask the other person to stand up, but said something.
"Then I didn't summon you today, why did you come here by yourself?"
Madam Cao looked at her and said in a hoarse voice, "Why did I come here? The Queen Mother should know better than anyone else!"
"You stole something that originally belonged to me and concealed it from me for seventeen years. Shouldn't you give me a reasonable explanation?"
Empress Dowager Yuan looked at her with disdain and a mocking tone.
"When did I take your things away?"
She and Jiang Yanfan have been childhood sweethearts.
In her opinion, it was clearly Mrs. Cao who took Jiang Yanfan away.
She didn't take the other person's life, which was considered as mercy and the greatest gift to her!
But what about her?
He actually didn't know what was good for him and went to Chengqian Palace to cause trouble.
Just for this reason, she could sentence Mrs. Cao to death!
At this time, Empress Dowager Yuan still did not take Madam Cao seriously.
If it was Yuan Jiuan, she might be afraid, but she was not afraid at all when dealing with a woman in the back house.
Madam Cao knew how arrogant Empress Dowager Yuan was, so she said, "My husband, Jiang Yanfan, does the Empress Dowager dare to say that this matter has nothing to do with you?"
After saying this, she did not wait for Empress Dowager Yuan's consent, but stood up, looked at the imperial teacher with cold eyes, and asked him hysterically.
"Jiang Yanfan, it's already this time, are you still going to be a coward? What's the point of hiding behind a woman?"
When I saw the photos before, Mrs. Cao’s feeling was not so intuitive.
But now that she saw him in person, she was very sure and certain that the man in front of her was Jiang Yanfan, who had been missing for seventeen years.
But to her disappointment, Jiang Yanfan never stood up to express his opinion from beginning to end.
As a last resort, she could only take the risk herself and point the blame at him.
The Imperial Master frowned and said in a deep voice: "I am not Jiang Yanfan, you have recognized the wrong person."
The moment he saw Mrs. Cao, his hands shook violently and his heart beat faster than ever.
These reactions were all hidden behind his hypocritical face.
The national teacher couldn't believe his eyes.
After not seeing each other for seventeen years, neither he nor Empress Dowager Yuan had changed much, but Madam Cao had changed so much.
She used to be so young and beautiful, but now she is so old and ugly.
He originally thought that even without him, Mrs. Cao should have no worries about food and clothing, and be rich and happy while staying in the Jiang family.
After all, the Jiang family’s business is now very big, and they are already considered a well-known wealthy businessman in Beijing.
Madam Cao was the mistress of the family. Logically, she should have handed over the responsibilities to her subordinates and it would have been fine for her to just be a hands-off manager and take care of the accounts. With money and property, what else could she be dissatisfied with?
But the national teacher never expected that she would become like this.
Although he is only in his forties, his temples are already gray, the skin on his face is loose and sagging, and even his eyebrows are wrinkled.
The most important thing is that the look in Mrs. Cao's eyes when she looked at him was no longer the shyness and joy of her youth, but vicissitudes and hatred.
The Imperial Master knew that he felt guilty towards her and was too embarrassed to face Madam Cao.
He didn't know how the other party recognized him, but for the first time, he felt an urge to escape.
But now that Empress Dowager Yuan and the ministers are all here, where can he escape to?
If he really escaped, it would seem that he was guilty of a crime.
Therefore, the Imperial Master pretended that he did not know Mrs. Cao, but in fact he was very panicked.
Mrs. Cao saw Jiang Yanfan's reaction clearly. Her red eyes gradually filled with tears. She felt like she had fallen into an ice cellar, completely cold from head to toe.
She said in a hoarse voice: "Jiang Yanfan, even if you turned into ashes, I can still recognize you."
"You and I were husband and wife. I gave birth to your children, took care of your parents, took over your family's business and assets, and carried the entire Jiang family on my own, just to not let you down."
"But what did I get in the end? I love you and trust you so much, is this how you treat me?"
"Jiang Yanfan, you still don't have a heart?"
Mrs. Cao had prepared a lot of words and wanted to question Jiang Yanfan in person.
But only then did she realize that everything was in vain.
She had imagined Jiang Yanfan's reaction when he saw her, but she never thought that he would pretend not to know her.
The man in front of her was no longer the husband she once loved.
In other words, his gentleness and thoughtfulness before were all pretended.
The Imperial Master clenched his fingertips into fists under his sleeves, and his expression became extremely ugly.
After Mrs. Cao's commotion, the image of an immortal that he had created in front of others was completely transformed into that of a heartless man who abandoned his wife and children.
Even from a distance of several feet, the Imperial Master could feel the sarcastic and mocking looks the ministers gave him.
For him, who was already very concerned about his reputation, this was like thousands of ants gnawing at his flesh and blood, which was tormenting and tormenting.
The Imperial Master didn't want to argue with Madam Cao any further. He was afraid that if the issue wasn't resolved, things would get out of control.
Thinking of this, he was about to give an order to have Madam Cao dragged away, but he did not expect that Empress Dowager Yuan would react one step faster than him.
"Someone, take this crazy woman who is talking nonsense away and beat her to death with sticks."
Imperial Master: "..."
Imperial Master: "!!!"
He was so frightened that his heart trembled and his breathing slowed down.
Didn’t Queen Dowager Yuan promise him that she would not kill Madam Cao?
But she actually...
Although he felt guilty, the Imperial Master did not step forward to stop them. Instead, he allowed two guards to come in, hold down Madam Cao, and drag her to the door.
He looked at the other person with complicated eyes, and complained in his heart: "Cao Yue, it's not that I don't want to save you, but you are the one who rushed to the palace to die."
"Why don't you just stay at home and take care of your children? Why do you have to come here to cause trouble for me?"
At this moment, the Imperial Master suddenly felt that it might be a good thing that Mrs. Cao died. At least he would have one less worry.
