Parents are busy farming

Zhang Wang was very dissatisfied, but she didn't dare to refute. She could only mutter in a low voice: "Is it really that serious? When I was in Lujia Village before, I didn't see any problems. How come I am being punished when I follow you and your official position is getting higher and higher? In the final analysis, it's because you are useless, and that bitch from the Ye family... That girl is cunning and must have framed me."

The more he spoke, the more he felt that what he said made sense, and he couldn't help but raise his voice again.

Zhang Gaoyi suppressed his anger and asked, "She framed you? She made you say whatever you want? Don't you know that insulting a royal princess is a serious crime of contempt for the royal family? This time the emperor did not punish us severely, but just asked you to go to the temple to pray for Princess Fuxia, which is already a light punishment. If the emperor is in a bad mood, he might directly order our whole family to be executed. I told you a long time ago that this is the capital, and you must be careful in what you say and do! Do you think that I, a great general, am so great? There are many noble families, kings and princes, and even dragon sons and phoenix grandsons above me!"

At this time, Old Man Zhang finally spoke up: "Stop talking nonsense, and go to the temple quickly. Don't let your children get in trouble. It's better to be in the temple than in Lujia Village, right?"

Zhang Wangshi was furious when she heard this and could not help but argue, "How can this be the same? When I was in Lujia Village, I had the final say, but if I go to the temple, I have to listen to the monks. Those monks eat simple food and have to recite scriptures every day. I can't read, so won't I be bullied if I go there?"

Old man Zhang turned to look at Zhang Gaoyi and said firmly, "How about this, Gaoyi, you should take your mother there! When you get there, remember to explain the situation to the host and don't let her suffer any injustice!"

Old man Zhang was actually very grateful to Zhang Wangshi for insisting on coming to the capital. If it weren't for her decision, he would probably still be farming in Lujia Village for a living.

Therefore, he was particularly caring towards Zhang Wang at this moment.

Zhang Gaoyi originally didn't want to go there in person, but after careful consideration, he was worried that Zhang Wangshi would pretend to obey but actually disobey, so he finally nodded and agreed, "Okay! I'll send her there in person."

At this time, the servants in the general's mansion were discussing their master. The loud quarrels and dirty words were heard clearly by them even though Zhang Gaoyi had dismissed the servants long ago.

Servant A said with a look of disgust: "Oh my, this really opened my eyes. You are the master, but how can you be worse than the common people outside? Listen to those words, it is really beneath your status."

Servant B at the side echoed, "Who says it's not true? Ever since those two old men entered our general's mansion, I felt that they were not good people. And the young lady they brought with them, it's obvious that she has ambitions."

Servant A sighed, "It's okay to be ambitious, but you can't flatter everyone! Other aspects are not good, but getting into trouble is the first. Once you get into trouble, it's a big sin of the tongue. I don't want to stay in the general's mansion anymore. No matter how bad our master was in the past, he wouldn't cause us servants to die! Look at what this old lady did, it's really hard to describe."

Servant B nodded in agreement: "Yes, what should we do now? If we are implicated, we will be in trouble."

Servant A thought for a moment and suggested, "Why don't we go find the butler and ask him to talk to the general and have the couple kicked out?"

Servant B hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "It's not appropriate. After all, the couple are the general's biological parents. If we do this, we may offend the general. It will also put the general in an unfilial and unrighteous position."

Servant A sighed helplessly, "Alas, what should I do? We can't keep going like this. I thought the General's Mansion was a good place. I spent all my fortune to bribe the traffickers to get here. Now it seems that I have fallen into a pit of fire."

Servant B thought for a moment and said, "Didn't the butler say that we are actually under the jurisdiction of Princess Fuxia's mansion? Maybe our indentures have already been delivered to the princess. We are from the princess's mansion, so we will naturally not be bound by the mansion. Besides, isn't this moving us to the temple?"

Servant A: "You also said that it was just speculation, what if! So what if she was sent to the temple? It's only forty-nine days. We don't know what will happen after she comes back! I really hope that the General's Mansion will soon have a mistress who can take good care of this old lady."

The two fell into silence.

A piece of news soon spread in the capital that General Zhang Gaoyi of the Tiger Army personally escorted his mother to the temple to pray for Princess Fuxia.

This news came from the general.

This action was undoubtedly a response and explanation to the last incident in which Zhang Wang insulted Princess Fuxia in public.

After the people in the capital learned about this, they not only did not have a negative impression of Zhang Gaoyi, but instead thought that this general of the Tiger Army was a man of courage and responsibility.

Zhang Gaoyi turned a disaster into a blessing. Even the emperor couldn't help but say, "The general is really lucky. I wonder what Fuxia is thinking now?"

Zhang Gaoyi did not wait and brought Zhang Wangshi to the temple that day.

The temple is located on a mountain outside the city, with a quiet, peaceful and harmonious environment.

The temple is filled with curling incense and the sound of bells and drums, giving people a sense of otherworldliness.

This place doesn't seem to be affected by the drought.

After the general settled his mother, he explained his purpose to the host.

After hearing this, the abbot nodded slightly, put his hands together and said, "Amitabha, don't worry, I will do my best to take good care of your mother."

The general was filled with gratitude, clasped his fists and bowed, saying, "Thank you very much, Master. I hope you will give me some advice and teach my mother more."

After saying this, the general turned and left the temple.

On his way back, he was overwhelmed with mixed feelings and could hardly calm down.

He knew very well that this incident was undoubtedly a painful lesson for his mother, and he hoped that she could calmly reflect on her actions in the temple.

At the same time, Ye Zifen also heard the news. At this moment, she was holding the account book of the General's Mansion, carefully checking the income and expenditure of the mansion in the past few days.

The more she looked, the tighter her brows furrowed, and she shook her head helplessly from time to time.

Seeing this, Aunt Qi at the side asked with concern: "Miss, do you think the emperor is supporting you?"

Ye Zifen sighed softly and said, "No, this is to maintain the reputation of the royal family. We still underestimated this Zhang Wangshi. She is really fearless. I am now considering whether to send her on her way directly."

She felt that the emperor was trying his best to bring her and Zhang Gaoyi together, and naturally he did not really want her to dislike Zhang Gaoyi.
