Marry my elder sister? Fine! I'll give you the letter of annulment and marry someone else.

But no matter what the inside story is, they should not think of getting away with it today.

Sure enough, it was just as Song Zhi had thought.

After venting his anger, the emperor deprived Mu Qinghan of his title as crown prince and promoted the concubine to imperial concubine, who would then directly handle the power of the six palaces on behalf of the queen.

The Queen was directly conferred the title of Imperial Noble Consort before her death, which was undoubtedly a great humiliation to her. However, the Queen did not even dare to plead for herself.

And those followers of Mu Qinghan were also dealt with by the emperor.

Countless people wailed and begged for mercy, and the entire court was filled with blood and gore.

The rest of the people were all thankful that they had not secretly colluded with Mu Qinghan.

Mu Qinghan and the queen were taken away. After everything was settled, the emperor sat on the dragon throne with his head lowered, as if he had aged many years in an instant.

The ministers urged him to take good care of himself, but he just muttered to himself, "Am I really right to insist on this?"

Naturally, no one dared to answer his question.

The emperor waved his hand and asked everyone to leave.

Everyone quietly left the hall. When they walked outside, Sun Shi finally noticed Song Zhi's sudden appearance. She was shocked as if she had seen a ghost, "You... why are you here!"

"I'm here, Madam Sun is disappointed?"

"you……"

Sun was speechless. Thinking of the fact that the Crown Prince had just been stripped of his title, her pale face became even more complicated. "My child, I had no choice. I'm glad you're okay now. I'm glad you're okay."

She stepped forward and tried to hold Song Zhi's hand, but Song Zhi slapped her in the face.

Sun was incredulous, "You actually hit me."

“I’ve wanted to give you this slap for a long time. I hit you for siding with Anya Song and not knowing right from wrong.”

After saying that, he slapped him again.

"This slap is so cruel that you sent your own daughter to another man's bed."

Then, another slap.

"This slap is an insult to the title of mother. You are not worthy of being a mother."

After three slaps, Sun was dizzy and about to explode, Song Yang came over and asked, "What do you mean by sending it to a man's bed?"

They won a great victory today. Song Yang was in a very good mood with a faint smile on his lips.

Sun no longer cared about the resentment of being beaten, and in a panic she tried to whitewash the situation, "Nothing, nothing."

Song Zhi jokingly said, "It's really nothing. It's just that Madam Sun and the deposed Crown Prince are plotting to clear my name."

The smile on Song Yang's lips suddenly froze. He stopped in disbelief and looked at Sun with wide eyes, "Is what Zhi'er said true?"

"No...I..."

Sun anxiously grabbed Song Yang's sleeve and said, "Master, I was just confused for a moment. If I knew that the prince and his men would do something like this, I would never do this even if I died."

"you!"

After hearing what Sun said with his own ears, Song Yang raised his hand high and was about to hit her.

Sun was so scared that she closed her eyes, but she didn't feel any pain for a long time.

She tentatively opened her eyes and saw Song Yang put down his hands in frustration and said two words, "Divorce."

Song Yang was extremely disappointed, his voice tired, "I want to divorce you."

"No, Master, you can't do this. For so many years, I have worked hard in the Song family to give birth to a son and a daughter for you. Even if I have no credit, I have worked hard. You can't do this to me."

Sun excitedly shouted to Song Zhi, "Zhi'er, please persuade your father. I don't want a divorce."

Song Zhi remained unmoved and watched coldly.

Sun's face flushed instantly, and she said irrationally, "Okay, I knew you had bad intentions. I just favored your sister a little bit. Are you so vicious as to instigate your father to divorce me? Where in the world is there a daughter like you? You say I plotted against you, but you are standing here peacefully without losing anything, you..."

"Snapped!"

Before he finished speaking, Song Yang slapped Sun hard in the face again.

Song Yang was shaking with anger and could no longer bear it.

"You're truly hopeless. I'm the one who wants to divorce you. What does Zhi'er have to do with it? Did she say a word while standing there? Also, the fact that she's standing here is her own achievement. It doesn't mean that your actions can be erased just because she's fine."

"You hit me."

Sun's eyes instantly filled with tears. "We've been married for decades and you've never laid a hand on me, yet now you're hitting me."

Song Yang's face turned pale. "It's because I hit you too late that you became so crazy now."

"Isn't it for the good of this family? Isn't it a good thing for the Song family if Zhi'er marries into the Eastern Palace? Moreover, if Zhi'er hadn't been so distant from me, why would I have chosen to join the deposed crown prince? He said he had a way to make peace with Zhi'er and me, so I agreed to join him."

"You're still making excuses for yourself."

Song Yang was too lazy to talk to her anymore. He took Song Zhi's hand distressedly and said, "Come on, Dad will take you home."

"Master, please don't leave me." Sun followed him crying.

She wanted to ride with the two of them, but was driven off by Song Yang, so she had to get on another carriage crying.

Song Yang's face was very bad. When the carriage started moving, Song Zhi asked, "Dad, are you really willing to do this?"

Song Yang thought she was reluctant, "You don't have to feel any psychological burden. Dad did this not just for you. For so many years, her heart has not been in the Song Mansion. She always prioritizes the Sun Mansion in everything. In this case, I don't want to keep her in the Song Mansion."

After returning to the Song Mansion, Song Yang went straight to the study and started writing the divorce letter.

Sun cried until she almost fainted. She pulled Song Zhi and was about to kneel down, "Zhi'er, I was wrong, I was really wrong. I promise I will never do anything to let you down again, and I will no longer care about Yale. Please plead for me, don't let your father and I divorce."

Song Zhi said in a clear voice, "If I had known this would happen, why did I do it in the first place?"

Sun placed all her hopes on Song Zhi. "Your father listens to you the most. Zhi'er, I'm begging you just this once. Can you please help me?"

Song Zhi didn't say anything, but turned his gaze to Song Yang who was walking quickly towards him with the divorce letter.

Sun turned around and knelt down in front of Song Yang. "Master, you can't do this. I beg you, just for Chen Feng's sake."

"Yes, and Chen Feng, if you divorce me, how will his colleagues view him? How can we arrange marriages for him in the future? Even for the sake of his future and reputation, I cannot give him this divorce letter."

Sun looked at Song Yang intently as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw.

And this is indeed what Song Yang has always been most worried about. Whether it is a divorce or a divorce letter, it is not a decent thing after all. The prominent families in the capital will care about these things. He is really afraid that the divorce will affect his two children.

Sun struck while the iron was hot. "I know I went too far this time. I don't ask for your forgiveness, my child. I only ask you to give me a chance to atone for my sins. From now on, I will eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures in the ancestral hall. I will put the Song family first in everything I do and never cause any trouble again."

As if to demonstrate her sincerity, Sun raised her hand and was about to swear, "If I break my promise, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death."

Song Yang looked at Song Zhi hesitantly, and Sun said quickly, "I will never bother Zhi'er again. I promise."
