The Emperor's heart is won, she sits on the Phoenix Throne! The Divine Physician's Eldest

Madam Dong quickly shut her mouth. She was fully aware of Song Suxin taking Dong Yingying to the Crown Prince's residence today, and she supported it.

If Dong Yingying is fortunate enough to catch Shen Pei's eye, then the Dong family will prosper from then on.

"Miss Hongshao, please tell the Crown Princess that the Dong family will treat these girls she sent very well. I will come to apologize in person after I have settled my family affairs." Old Master Dong's attitude was sincere.

"Farewell." Hong Shao said nothing more and left.

The entrance to the Dong Mansion was already packed with people eager to watch the spectacle.

The crowd pointed and whispered among themselves.

"I thought the matriarch of the Dong family was clever, but I didn't expect her to be stupid."

"This is not just stupid, it's downright utterly foolish! Not only are they courting death, but they're also dragging the entire Dong family down with them."

"Fortunately, the Crown Princess is kind-hearted and magnanimous, otherwise the Dong family would have suffered today."

"Everyone should be careful when choosing a wife in the future. Never marry someone as foolish, vicious, or from a family with questionable morals!"

……

The sounds from all around grew increasingly unpleasant, like thousands of poisoned needles piercing the bodies of everyone in the Dong family, causing them unbearable pain.

Old Master Dong was an honest and upright man, never expecting such misfortune to befall his family in his old age. He felt that his lifelong reputation for integrity had been ruined.

He held his breath and shouted, "Enter the mansion! Close the gate!" He then ordered his servants to invite Lord Dong back to the mansion.

When Lord Dong returned to his residence after taking leave, he stepped into the front hall and saw Song Suxin and Dong Yingying kneeling on the ground, with Old Madam Dong standing to the side, trembling with fear.

Old Master Dong sat in the seat of honor, his face grim.

“Father,” Lord Dong called out. On the way back, the servants had already told him the general situation, and now his face was ashen.

Seeing Lord Dong's expression, Old Master Dong knew that he already knew, and he spoke directly, "Song has caused such a big trouble. She is your wife. What do you plan to do about it?"

"Divorce him!" Lord Dong's tone was chillingly cold.

Song Suxin's expression changed drastically. She and Lord Dong were a well-known loving couple, and she never expected that Lord Dong would divorce her because of this.

"Husband, you can't divorce me! I haven't committed any of the seven grounds for divorce. I brought my sister to the Crown Prince's residence today for the sake of the household..."

Lord Dong interrupted Song Suxin directly, "Song Suxin, you should pray that the Crown Princess is a magnanimous person. With her current status, she could wipe out the entire Dong family without breaking a sweat, let alone you."

His expression was cold, and his gaze toward Song Suxin was extremely unfamiliar. "Song Suxin, you and the Crown Princess are both women. When you had several children, I never had any other thoughts. Since we got married, no matter what outsiders say, I will never take any new wives. How can you make things difficult for the Crown Princess who has just given birth? Shouldn't women be more considerate of the hardships and difficulties of other women?"

“In the past, many of your views were different from those of ordinary women. I thought you were extraordinary. You always looked at everything in the world with kindness and compassion. I loved you and respected you. No matter how big the storm was in front of you, I was willing to stand in front of you. But today I realized that I was wrong. Song Suxin, let’s get a divorce. We have different paths and cannot work together.”

"My husband, no! I won't divorce you!" Song Suxin cried, tears streaming down her face.

She saw the resolute look on Lord Dong's face.

She knew that Lord Dong was speaking from the heart; he truly wanted to separate from her, and she panicked.

At this moment, she regretted it.

However, there is no going back in life.

Lord Dong shook off Song Suxin's hand that was holding his sleeve and continued to say to Old Master Dong, "Father, after what happened to Yingying, staying in the capital will only make her a laughing stock, and she will be taken advantage of by those with ulterior motives. No one in the capital will dare to marry her. It would be better to marry her off far away. We don't need a high-ranking official or a wealthy family, as long as she doesn't go hungry. Most importantly, the other party must be far away from the officialdom. With the Dong family around, she can live a worry-free life."

Grandpa Dong's face showed a satisfied expression. As expected of the son he had personally taught, he was decisive and ruthless in his actions.

Although the Dong family could not be considered a noble family, they were still a respectable group among officials and naturally had their own code of conduct.

"You did a good job." Old Master Dong was satisfied. If Lord Dong had hesitated even slightly today, he would have personally taken action to resolve all these troubles.

Centuries-old families never focus on the present; they look beyond the present to see the future and plan for it.

"Father! I won't marry! I won't leave the capital. His Highness the Crown Prince hasn't given up on me. I still have hope." Dong Yingying was unwilling and pleaded with tears in her eyes, "Mother, please help me persuade Father."

She looked at Lord Dong again, "Brother, I'm your own sister! How could you treat me like this? I want to stay in the capital, I want to marry His Highness the Crown Prince, I'm not going anywhere!"

"Shut up!" Lord Dong shouted. "You should be glad she's my own sister."

He coldly ordered, "Guards, take the young lady away and lock her up. Keep a close watch on her. No one is allowed to see her, and she is not allowed to step out of her room!"

"Big brother, no! Mother, save me! Sister-in-law, it's all your fault..." Dong Yingying's voice grew fainter and fainter, but Lord Dong showed no mercy.

"Father, once I've written the divorce papers, I'll personally go to the Crown Prince's residence to apologize," said Lord Dong.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

"master……"

Old Master Dong looked at Old Madam Dong and said, "Go to the ancestral hall and reflect on your actions. Don't come out until you've done your reflection!"

Madam Dong knew she had really messed up today. She hadn't seen Old Master Dong so angry in decades. She didn't dare to argue and could only leave dejectedly.

"Someone, prepare pen and ink!" Lord Dong ordered.

An hour later.

Prince's Mansion.
