The day her husband’s beloved lost her husband, he couldn’t wait to bring her home as his new bride. Then, claiming that their three years of marriage had produced no children, he cast me aside. He thought I’d weep bitterly, humble myself, and beg him to let me stay in the household. But I only gave him a cold glance, took the divorce decree, and walked away without looking back. Seven years later, I attended a family banquet with my daughter and helped my husband select worthy officials and generals. There, I saw Yang Chengling and his wife fawning over my household steward and secretly offering him gifts. When he turned and saw me, he raised his brows and gave me a look of pure mockery. I was utterly baffled, but as the Regent’s Consort, I was someone he had no right to look down on.
