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!"
