Who cares about belated family affection? Family members beg for forgiveness

Yangmei was so frightened that her legs went weak and she fell to her knees with a thud.

She shook her head repeatedly in denial: "Please spare my life, Queen. I have no intention of framing Miss Lan Er. Please be clear about this, Queen."

Yangmei was completely panicked.

No one would believe what she said.

Everyone looked at Yangmei with strange eyes.

"This Miss Yang is truly bold. She dared to tamper with the Empress's banquet, and it was such an indecent act."

"If you really don't like someone, you can use all kinds of tricks to embarrass them at the palace banquet later."

The Queen looked down at Yangmei condescendingly:

"Oh! Then why don't you tell the truth? If you're not going to frame Miss Lan, then who are you going to frame?"

As soon as the queen said this, it was confirmed that it was Yangmei who poisoned her.

Yangmei's thoughts were racing.

Since everyone has to bear the blame, then they should bear the least.

No matter who you harm, the end result will be the same.

Yangmei gritted her teeth and buried her head in the ground.

"Your Majesty, I drugged myself, but something unexpected happened..."

This answer was beyond everyone's expectations.

How could anyone believe such a lie, let alone the queen?

The Queen's eyes were filled with coldness: "It's already this time, and you still want to lie to me."

Yang Mei shed tears sadly: "Your Majesty, I did not lie, this is the truth."

The queen was so angry at her words that she laughed:

"Do you really think everyone is stupid? Can't you drug yourself in the mansion?"

Miss Yang smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, I just wanted to destroy my own reputation, but I didn't expect to implicate Miss Lan."

"Why?"

The queen was very curious. Which woman in the world doesn't want to protect her reputation?

There are people who actually want to destroy their own reputation.

Yang Mei: "Your Majesty, it's because my mother wants to marry me off to a 50-year-old man as her second wife. I don't want to, so I have no choice but to resort to this desperate measure."

Everyone suddenly realized that they had heard this news before.

I didn't expect it to be true.

The current Mrs. Yang is a second wife, and she also wants the daughter left by the previous wife to be her second wife.

still is……

Everyone was sighing.

The queen looked at Madam Yang, who was filled with hatred.

I didn't expect this damn girl to be so thoughtful that she actually dared to expose this matter in front of so many people.

I really don't know who gave her this idea.

Receiving the queen's gaze, she lowered her head, quickly walked to the queen, and knelt down beside Yangmei with a plop.

She quickly changed her words, "Your Majesty, it was the eldest lady who misunderstood. I didn't have the chance to explain it to her, which led to her doing such an embarrassing thing at the palace banquet. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

Madam Yang looked at the Queen expectantly, waiting for her to make a decision.

When Yang Mei heard Mrs. Yang's voice, she felt a little braver for some reason.

She turned her head to look at Madam Yang: "Is it wrong? Lord Li is about to propose marriage, and you are waiting for the sedan chair to arrive and still say it is a misunderstanding."

The queen glanced at the nanny beside her.

Mammy whispered something in her ear.

The Queen then looked at Madam Yang coldly:

"Madam Yang, I'm very curious, why did you choose Lord Li?"

"Your Majesty..." Madam Yang wanted to continue to quibble.

The Queen glanced at him coldly and said, "I just want to hear the truth."

It was just a warning, and Mrs. Yang no longer denied the marriage.

She said something insincere: "Your Majesty, although Lord Li is a little older, he is an excellent man and knows how to care for others. He has no children, so if Mei'er marries him, she will be his legitimate wife. There is nothing wrong with that."

When the queen saw that she could actually say such words, she really thought that no one else could see what she was thinking.

"Madam Yang, you haven't mentioned the most important point. Lord Li holds a higher official position than your husband. Therefore, there's nothing shameful about your desire to consolidate the Yang family's position in the capital through marriage. This is a common tactic used by various families."

The Queen said this, glanced at all the nobles present, and continued:

"I don't object either. Although it's the parents' order and the matchmaker's words, this child is quite pitiful, without her mother's protection. So, since you are so optimistic about this marriage, let the second daughter of the Yang family marry Lord Li."

When the Queen Mother said this, Madam Yang was upset.

She pleaded hurriedly: "Empress, please don't do that. I'm still young, how can I not scream..."

The Queen glanced at Nanny Qiu.

Aunt Qiu stepped forward and said, "Madam Yang, you are so bold! The Empress herself has given you this marriage, and you dare to refuse it."

Madam Yang: "I dare not. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Aunt Qiu continued, "The second Miss Yang and the first Miss Yang are only half a year apart in age. If they can get married, why can't your daughter?"

The Queen raised her hand: "It is settled."

The queen glanced at Lan Weiwei who was feeling uncomfortable.

"Second Miss Lan, keep your eyes open and your heart righteous. No evil ways will come to you. Think carefully! Go down!"

The queen turned and left, but she hadn't even taken two steps.

Another sound was heard in the air.

Because the queen was present, no one dared to move and could only hold their breath.

The queen frowned in disgust, but did not stop.

Nanny Qiu stopped and looked at Madam Lan.

"Second Miss Lan should return to the Marquis' Mansion first to avoid disrupting the banquet."

After this happened, neither Mrs. Lan nor Lan Weiwei wanted to continue attending the palace banquet.

Mrs. Lan glared at Miss Yang hatefully.

"Miss Yang, this lady will remember you."

The Empress, Madam Qiu and the others were no longer present.

Anyway, things have come to this point.

Yangmei was not afraid of Mrs. Lan at all.

"Mrs. Lan, are you threatening me? If Second Miss Lan hadn't come to me, would this have happened?"

The crowd that had just dispersed due to the stench were instantly gathered together again by their curiosity.

Wu Yue opened his mouth wide and asked, "What's going on? Is there something else going on?"

Wu Yue didn't ask Yang Mei, but looked at Lan Kexin.

Lan Kexin shrugged innocently:

"I don't know either! It's just that when I was sitting in the pavilion, the two of them came looking for me, and then this happened."

Wu Yue said "Oh": "Could it be that the two of them wanted to harm you, so they reaped the consequences..."

"Shut up."

Before Wu Yue could finish her words, Mrs. Lan roared angrily.

But Wu Yue's words were heard by everyone.

No matter how much Mrs. Lan explained, no matter how much Lan Weiwei denied.

They will all make up their own minds.

I simply don't believe their excuses.

"Mom, please leave quickly." Lan Weiwei wanted to die.

I don't want my mother to continue talking nonsense.

Who knows what kind of trouble Lan Kexin will cause next?

Before leaving, Mrs. Lan did not forget to take Lan Kexin with her.

Lan Kexin reminded Madam Hou Lan: "The Queen Mother invited our daughter to attend the palace banquet. Are you sure you want her to leave now?"
