Chapter 466: There Is Another Disturbance in the Palace, and Duke Xingguo’s Mansion Is Defeated!
While they were talking, they had already reached the courtyard of Mrs. Xingguo's mansion. The eldest princess Ruian walked in familiarly and did not let Mrs. Xingguo lead the way.
Mrs. Xingguo began to sweat on her forehead. She knew that this matter would be difficult to deal with, but what else could she do if she didn't do this? Is it possible to push a master out? What's more, she still doesn't know who did this?
Who can't get along with Shao Wanru, and who can't get along with himself? Thinking of what happened in that yard, Mrs. Xingguo's heart bleeds.
But it happened that not only Mrs. Xingguo, but also Xingguo Gong was asking her whether she did it. If she did, wouldn't it be like stabbing a knife in her heart.
Shao Wanru didn't have such a big weight, so she could stab her own heart with a knife and burn the yard she had prepared for her son for so many years.
After pausing for a moment, he hurried inside.
In the main room, the eldest princess and the Tai Madam were talking to each other. Looking at the aggressive look, they knew that the Tai Madam was frustrated here again.
"Princess Princess, you can't be so unreasonable. This matter will be found wherever it is found. The matter is caused by the two maids. Is it possible that you must make our entire Xingguo Palace take this responsibility? No one wants to think about Wu Yatou’s affairs, our house has also lost a lot of things, and the yard was carefully prepared!”
The madam's expression was not very good. She thought she could sleep peacefully early in the morning, but she was hurriedly woken up. When the eldest princess came over, she was pressed again and again, and no one was in a better mood.
In my heart, I became more and more convinced that Shao Wanru was a house-ruiner, and it was of no use to him to disturb the entire family.
It's better not to recognize this granddaughter and let her live outside.
"Are you going to use two maids to pay for my granddaughter's life?" the eldest princess said gloomily, then stood up, "In that case, let's go and report this matter to the Queen Mother now."
"Eldest Princess, this matter is also a private matter in my house. Your granddaughter is the fifth maid in our house. Don't I feel sorry for her? I will watch her being bullied by the maids. Those two maids, I I had someone send me to the Yamen before, and the two girls confessed to the arson case, and I said the same even in front of the Queen Mother."
The madam glared at the eldest princess confidently.
Sending it to the government represents the magnanimity of the Xingguo government. How to deal with this matter next is entirely up to the government, and no one can find fault. Even though everyone thinks that this matter must be related to the Xingguo government, now this matter is the government disposed of.
"Okay... okay... okay, you actually pushed this matter to the government. There are always people in the government who are lax in running the house, right?" The eldest princess knew the twists and turns inside, and was attracted by the pair of Duke Xingguo. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law turned blue with shamelessness. At this time, they had no intention of sitting down and talking properly. After speaking, they turned around and walked out.
After her granddaughters got into trouble like this, she would never let them go so easily.
"The eldest princess, you and our family have repeatedly troubled the Queen Mother, and you are not afraid that the Queen Mother will find it troublesome!" Seeing that this matter was going to escalate again, the eldest lady stabbed the eldest princess hard.
However, the eldest princess ignored her and left angrily. Duke Xingguo's wife chased her for a few steps, but failed to catch up. She stomped helplessly back to discuss with the dowager.
"Mother, what should I do? If the Queen Mother inquires, what shall we say?" Mrs. Xingguo Gong was a little panicked, because she had never been strong against this eldest princess.
At first it was about Princess Qinghua, and now it's about Shao Wanru. Princess Ruian seems to be at loggerheads with Duke Xingguo.
"Let her talk it over. Let's just say that this matter was investigated by the government and has nothing to do with us. Although it is a bit unbelievable that two maids plotted against the new master, it happens everywhere in the world, and this kind of thing does not happen. It’s not impossible to happen.”
The madam raised her eyelids and said coldly.
"Yes, mother, I know, but the Queen Mother will think that we are causing trouble again and again..." Mrs. Xingguo was still worried and hurriedly walked around in circles a few times.
"Just do what you want. We are not the ones who want to bring this matter to the Queen Mother. It is the eldest princess who is causing trouble herself. She always runs to the palace. If you want to blame it, it is also the eldest princess herself."
The lady said confidently.
"What mother said is true, but the relationship between the Queen Mother and the eldest princess has always been good. In addition, some things happened back then... The queen mother always stands by the eldest princess in everything. She may announce that we will enter the palace soon. It's gone!" Mrs. Xingguo's face looked frightened and panicked.
Seeing that Mrs. Tai was getting more and more frustrated, she felt that the eldest princess Ruian was really bullying others. She made such a fuss over a seemingly trivial matter, causing the whole capital to watch the joke of Duke Xingguo.
"Come on, let's go into the palace too!" The Madam stood up with a sullen face and snorted coldly, "She goes to find the Queen Mother, and we will go to find the Queen Mother."
"Yes, mother, please prepare first, and I will order the carriage first!" Seeing that Mrs. Xingguo was furious, Mrs. Xingguo said hurriedly, and took a few people back to her yard first, and at the same time asked someone to hitch the carriage and prepare to enter the palace.
Speaking of her identity, the Queen Empress is somewhat related to the Tai Madam. Although she is a little far away, at least the Empress still recognizes the Tai Madam and was extremely polite and respectful to the Tai Madam in the past.
The queen received their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the side hall. After hearing what happened, her face showed sympathy: "Is this matter now in the government?"
"Yes, it has been sent to the government a long time ago. The government found out and then told us." Mrs. Xingguo reported respectfully. Of course she would not say that the matter was only concluded yesterday. It was sent to the government last night. The maid Just plead guilty and go straight to the interrogation. The details have been carefully considered and can withstand questioning.
"Since this matter was discovered by the government, even though your family members feel that they are shirking responsibility, it must be well-founded, and the eldest princess cannot refuse to let go."
The empress smiled gently and said that she was on the side of Duke Xingguo's government.
Mrs. Xingguo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the smile on her face relaxed.
"What the empress said makes sense, but the eldest princess has never been very fond of our family. No one thought about what happened at the beginning. Something happened to Princess Qinghua, and something happened to my son as well. , who can blame anyone, the eldest princess hates our house because of what happened at the beginning, and if there is any slight disturbance, the matter will become bigger, I hope the queen will take action."
The madam wiped away tears in grievance. She wanted the queen to say something right.
"Don't worry, Madam. Since I know this, I have to listen to what the Queen Mother asked." The Queen Mother smiled soothingly, but her words were not accurate and were quite inconsistent.
The Dowager Queen was disappointed and wanted to speak, but she saw a palace maid hurriedly came in and reported: "The Queen Mother, please invite the Queen Mother to come with Mrs. Xingguo Duke and the Dowager Queen."
"The Queen..." Mrs. Xingguo looked at the Queen pleadingly.
"Since the Queen Mother has been summoned, let's go together!" The Queen stood up gracefully and walked out with a group of people waiting.
Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Xingguo looked at each other and could only follow.
In the Cining Palace of the Empress Dowager, the eldest princess Ruian sat angrily next to the Empress Dowager, glaring at the entry of Mrs. Xingguo and his wife.
Several people bowed and the Queen Mother asked them to take their seats.
The Queen Mother sat down next to the Queen Mother, looked at the Queen Mother who looked unhappy, and asked with concern: "Is the Queen Mother not feeling well? Have you called the imperial doctor to see her? Why does she look so bad?"
"What do you think about the affairs of Duke Xingguo's Palace?" The Queen Mother waved her hand to indicate that she was fine, and glanced at the face of the Queen Mother of Duke Xingguo's Palace expressionlessly.
"The Queen Mother, since this matter has been brought to the attention of the government, let the government take care of it. You! If you are not in good health, don't worry too much about such things!" The Queen Mother smiled softly and reached out to touch the Queen Mother's tea cup. After sensing the temperature, he picked up the teapot himself and poured some more hot water into the Queen Mother's cup.
"This matter has nothing to do with your palace?" The Queen Mother didn't pay much attention to the attentive Queen's behavior, and her eyes fell back on the face of Mrs. Xingguo.
"This...my concubine is also..." The Queen Mother did not expect that the Queen Mother would be so rude when they met this time. After being stunned for a moment, she stood up in panic.
"Forget it, this matter is not clear now. Both you and the eldest princess have to make concessions. Even if this matter is solved in this way, the government can show up. However, the Xingguo Duke's mansion has to apologize to the eldest princess's mansion. A supervisor cannot do it. Yan always bears the blame, so why does something like this happen as soon as the eldest daughter of your family comes back?"
The Queen Mother's face became colder and colder, and she immediately made a conclusion without letting the Queen Mother say anything.
In a word, Mrs. Xingguo's body was shaking, and Mrs. Xingguo hurriedly stretched out her hand to support her.
"Why, do you think this matter is serious?" The Queen Mother frowned and said displeasedly as she looked at the Dowager whose expression changed greatly.
"I don't dare... I prepared a gift to apologize to the eldest princess when I got back!" The madam lowered her head in frustration, covering up the anger in her eyes, and replied respectfully.
"That's good, your two houses can be regarded as in-laws. Now you have Shao Wanru, and he will break bones and connect tendons in the future. How can you come into the palace to quarrel from time to time? What do the courtiers and nobles say? ?" The Queen Mother's face softened and she said earnestly.
Someone from the palace had already come over and helped the trembling Mrs. Xingguo sit down.
"Such a good girl is lovable just by looking at her. If the Ai family had such a granddaughter, she would definitely wake up smiling from her dreams. She is so healthy and pretty!"
The Queen Mother sighed, stretched out her hand to rub her forehead, and said with a tired look. Thinking of the incident where His Highness King Chen fainted again, the Queen Mother suddenly understood.
