Chapter 1003 - 841, Prosper Together, Decline Together
The Empress Dowager had not done anything extreme, only spoke a few words against Xiao Yeyang in front of the ladies, and the emperor could not intervene.
Initially, it was just rumors about Xiao Yeyang, saying he defied the Empress Dowager, was unfilial, and arrogant due to his merits. Later on, Daohua also got dragged into it.
During gatherings of the womenfolk, they would whisper and say that Daohua clung to Xiao Yeyang and would not allow him to take a concubine, branding her a complete jealous wife.
Daohua, when she heard these rumors, did not get angry.
Xiao Yeyang glanced at her and asked with a smile, "They call you a jealous wife, and you’re not angry?"
Daohua glared at him, "I am a jealous wife indeed." Saying this, she looked straight at Xiao Yeyang, "In this lifetime, I will never allow you to take a concubine or keep a mistress. I think being a jealous wife is quite good!"
Xiao Yeyang laughed, stretched out his hand and pinched the soft flesh on Daohua’s cheek, "I love how you brazenly claim me as your own."
Daohua was amused by his words and swatted away his hand, "What are you talking about!"
Xiao Yeyang pulled her into his lap and rested his head on Daohua’s shoulder, "Marrying me, you’ve been wronged."
Daohua turned to look at Xiao Yeyang, wrapped her arms around his neck, and looked at him square in the face, "Xiao Yeyang, marrying you, the only person who can wrong me is you. As for those gossiping women, what do they have to do with me?"
