It was precise because of this seniority, because of her seniority equal to the Supreme Emperor, that she dared to be so unscrupulous, thinking that no matter what mistakes she made, she would be forgiven.
Princess Nanjiang doesn’t want to argue with her anymore. She will not be able to turn her head around for a while. She could only step back for now.
“Quick, Ning’er, pack up quickly. Mother has brought someone here, and will send you away immediately, maybe you can avoid disaster.”
“Send me away? Where are you taking me? I don’t want to go, why should I go?” Chu Ning shook her head and gritted her teeth.
Princess Nanjiang pulled her out: “You silly girl, you still don’t understand? Hurry up, if you don’t leave now, you won’t be able to leave.”
Chu Ning grabbed her mother’s hand and asked: “If I leave, can I come back?”
Princess Nanjiang hurriedly said: “Of course, you can come back again. As long as you avoid this for a while when the emperor’s anger subsides, we will come to the Emperor to intercede for you, and then you will be able to come back.”
Chu Ning shook her head: “What if the emperor refuses? I can never come back for the rest of my life?”
Princess Nanjiang’s tears fell again: “Ning’er, listen to your mother, go for now. Even if you can’t come back for the rest of your life, mother will still look at you, as long as you live, you can say anything.”
How could Chu Ning be willing? She hadn’t enjoyed enough of the prosperity and wealth in the capital city, she didn’t want to let her run away like a bereaved dog at this moment.
The mother and daughter were tugging at each other when there was the sound of chaotic footsteps approaching from far away. Two men dressed as eunuchs entered the yard, followed by four guards with swords.
“Chu Ning accepts the order!” The leading eunuch screamed at Chu Ning.
Chu Ning just stood there in a daze. Her mind was blank, looking at the bright yellow imperial decree, she didn’t know what to do.
The Emperor made an order so soon? For such a trivial matter, he made a decree for her? What was the purpose? Is he going to kill her?
Princess Nanjiang tugged on Chu Ning’s sleeves: “What are you still doing in a daze? Hurry up and kneel to accept the order!”
Only then did Chu Ning come back to her senses, and hurriedly knelt, “Chu Ning accepts the order!”
“By the Emperor’s edict said: Chu Ning, the daughter of the Prince of Nanjiang, has lost both virtue and conduct. She is a restless woman and behaves perversely and domineeringly. She is not worthy of being a daughter of the clan. From today onwards, her clan status will be revoked, and she will be demoted to a commoner. The emperor orders Young Master Meng to divorce his wife, and immediately send her to Tianfu Nunnery, where she can reflect in peace.”
Chu Ning laughed when she heard this, stood up from the ground, and laughed wildly: “I don’t believe it, this must not be the Emperor’s edict, it must be a fake imperial edict obtained by that bitch Bai Zhi. Are you trying to deceive me? No, I won’t believe it.”
The eunuch who announced the decree didn’t have the time to talk nonsense with her, he would do what the emperor ordered, it was as simple as that.
The eunuch gave him a look, and the guards behind him rushed up and grabbed Chu Ning’s arms from left to right.
Chu Ning has grown up so much and has never been treated so rudely by a man. She was ashamed and angry. She struggled with all her strength, trying to escape the two guards, and shouting to her mother to save her.
But Princess Nanjiang can’t do anything at this moment, she can only watch her daughter being treated like this.
If she stepped forward to help, wouldn’t it be going against the decree?
Wouldn’t that be a crime?
She can’t bear it!
“Mother, what’s wrong with you? I’m your daughter, yet you just watched me being humiliated by them and refused to help me?” Chu Ning yelled.
Princess Nanjiang wiped away tears secretly: “Ning’er, you go with them first, mother will come to see you.”

And of course, the woman bears the consequences and the man (MN) gets what he wants…
So it’s not the consequences of her own actions?
