Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1493

After half a lifetime, Mrs. Ma finally spoke her true feelings to the man she once loved passionately.

General, I regret this.

I regret falling in love with you, and I regret going to the mountains and seas without hesitation.

What did he get in the end? Just a forgotten oath and a man's deep love that he thought was worth less than grass.

Madam Ma has endured all these years simply for the sake of the title of Lady of Imperial Concubine and the position of the main wife.

She occupied the position and did not allow the concubine to become the first wife.

Now the concubine has committed a crime and is going to be exiled, and she has also obtained the title of Consort. If she doesn't want to divorce, what is she waiting for?

She also sought the opinions of her two sons, saying that her divorce might affect their marriage arrangements.

The eldest son Ma Chuyi said, "Ms. Ming Zhao and the Ming family probably won't mind this, so mother doesn't have to worry about it. If you really want to make up your mind, I'd like to be your umbrella to protect you from the wind and rain."

The youngest son, Ma Chuyang, said, "I am a scholar who has won the imperial examination. I have good looks and a good career. There are many people who want me. Mother, don't worry. You are already a lady of honor. The only use of old Ma is gone. Do you still want to keep him for the New Year?"

The elder son knew that his mother was disappointed, and the younger son had no feelings for his father. Both sons stood on their mother's side.

But at this time, General Ma obviously had not yet seen the reality clearly, and just kept asking where Mrs. Ma's money came from.

He thought that if it was ill-gotten gains, he had to return it quickly. If there was a crime, he would risk all his military merits to get his wife out.

He was just feeling moved when he saw his concubine's daughter Ma Qingqing quietly come in and kneel down in front of Madam Ma, "Please take me in, mother. Qing'er is willing to serve you."

That’s right!

Even General Ma was disgusted by what he heard, "Qing'er, get up. I will arrange a place for you."

Ma Qingqing refused to get up, imitating her mother's weak expression, "Qing'er just wants to be a good daughter to her mother."

Madam Ma looked at Ma Liyang with a hard-to-speak expression, as if she was smiling but not laughing, and said with a double meaning: "General, do you think this is a joke?"

Her elopement was a joke, and the concubine's daughter kneeling in front of her was also a joke.

General Ma was speechless for a moment, his face was extremely interesting. He understood his wife's self-mockery, and once again thought of the bullshit oath he made when he was young, and felt like a joke.

He continued to ask, "Where did the silver come from?"

Madam Ma smiled coldly, "I earned it legally. But all that money belongs to me, and has nothing to do with you. I'm getting a divorce, and I'm going to move every flower and grass here. Don't worry, I won't humiliate your integrity."

After that, she called the personal nanny and said, "Bring the account book locked in the warehouse."

The nanny took the order and left.

After a while, the palace guards came in carrying boxes of account books. They glanced at the general, sighed, and left.

Madam Ma stood up and took out a box of silver notes and handed them to the general. "This is the allowance you have given me over the years. I haven't touched a penny. I even made a register for you. Please count it."

General Ma took the banknote and account book woodenly, and saw the amounts written on them.

Madam Ma said leisurely, "The little money you gave me is not even enough to support the palace guards, let alone the expenses of my son who won the third place in the imperial examination."

Her son, who had won the third place in the imperial examination, was a money-making beast. She would buy him all the clothes that were popular in the capital.

Her son must wear the best clothes and eat the best food, and he cannot be too stingy when he is outside, otherwise it will lose face.
