Wear it quickly! My mad dog-like host!
Chapter 912 Group Favor 32
Orchid Lane.
An old woman and a woman in her thirties were washing clothes, sheets and quilts in the yard.
The old woman was obviously worried. She didn't realize that the clothes in her hands were torn by the mallet and she stared at the gate in a daze.
The woman had just rinsed the sheets and hung them out to dry. She looked back at the clothes in the old woman's hands and immediately showed a look of distress.
"Mother!" she called out, and hurriedly stepped forward to take the mallet from the old woman's hand, saying distressedly: "Although buying clothes is not a painful thing considering the money our family gets every month, we should still be thrifty. The money saved can be used to buy a few more exercise books for Ergouzi, Cuihua and the others!"
The old woman came back to her senses, and at first she looked embarrassed, then sighed heavily, "You said..."
"Mom!" The woman knew what the old woman wanted to say, and interrupted her with a warning look in her eyes:
"Don't forget who made us women stand up. When you get older and feel sorry for your father-in-law who is not only away from home but also a burden to the family, then don't blame your daughters-in-law for following your example and taking the children away from home to avoid being dragged down!"
These words were a heavy blow to the old woman. After hearing them, the expression on her face became a little ugly. Her eyes fell on the hairpin shining with silver on the woman's head. She sighed in her heart, who could have known that her mother-in-law could do such a deadly thing!
Then he stopped talking, lowered his head and continued to wash the clothes in the wooden basin.
She is just old, so it is inevitable that she is a little soft-hearted...
The woman's eyes flickered slightly, and when she saw that the old woman stopped talking, she continued to work on her things.
“Bang bang bang—is there anyone there?!”
The knock on the door, accompanied by loud and rough questions, made the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, who already had something on their minds, jump in their hearts and almost fainted.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other, wondering if it was coming...
The woman put on an angry expression and shouted through the high wall and wooden door: "Who is it?! Why are you knocking?"
He strode to the gate, unbolted it, opened the door, stared at the five or six men in uniform at the door, and before they could say anything, he spoke a series of words:
"How many times have I told you that the old man has nothing to do with us? If he owes you anything, just ask him to pay it back. If you can't pay it back, you'll be out of luck! Who told you to give him credit?"
After saying that, he snorted coldly and said, "If you are still not satisfied, just chop off his hands and feet."
After saying this, he ignored the confused look on the face of the person outside the door and pretended to close the door.
"Hey hey hey... wait..." A man hurried forward and held the door.
"Let go! If you dare to stop me, I will call for help!" The woman frowned and said fiercely: "Breaking into a private house? Do you all want to go to jail?!"
"No, no, no, sister, please don't misunderstand us. We are not here to cause trouble."
The man quickly explained his purpose, "We are here to bring wealth to my sister's family."
The woman's heart sank after hearing this, but she sneered, "Who are you trying to fool? Go ask the kids on the street if there's any chance of a pie falling from the sky!"
The grown men choked and glanced at the other households nearby who had heard the noise and stuck their heads out to check what was going on, feeling even more depressed.
Looking at the gleam in those people's eyes and the door bolts and brooms in their hands, you can tell that they are a group of people waiting to make meritorious deeds and ask for rewards from the government.
What is this all about...
A man bravely revealed his family background in a low voice: "We are from the Prince of Changning's Mansion. Two days ago, an old man came to report a shocking event to the prince, so we came to investigate the situation..."
"Is the Prince of Changning's Mansion a government office?" the woman interrupted him coldly, her voice unconcealed.
“???” Several men were stunned, and the people watching the excitement on the side were also stunned.
Then he looked at the woman with admiration in his eyes.
Although today's powerful and wealthy people don't dare to oppress the people as arbitrarily as they did in the past, it is still rare to find people who dare to fight back directly like this.
It is ingrained in human nature that ordinary people dare not fight against the powerful!
Seeing that the men did not answer, the woman continued: "I don't know what earth-shattering event you are talking about, but our family has a bad relationship with that old man. If he talks about our family, the Prince of Changning had better think twice about whether it is credible!"
"Otherwise, report to the government and summon our family, and we will cooperate!"
Having said this, he closed the door, quickly inserted the bolt in his hand, and returned to the main room, holding his violently beating chest.
Seeing the old woman pacing anxiously in the main room, he lowered his voice and said, "Mother, have you seen the true face of my so-called father-in-law?"
"If this terrible thing gets out, our whole family might end up as fertilizer in the mountains and forests!"
"You've had too many good days. Do you really think those rich and powerful people are vegetarians?! Have you forgotten what life was like when you were young?!"
The old woman looked embarrassed and waved her hand, saying, "Okay, stop talking. I know the seriousness of the matter."
The woman said nothing more, sighed helplessly, and went back to the yard to continue washing clothes.
Even if the mother-in-law wanted to say something, it would be useless... The woman adjusted the hairpin on her head. She had already erased the evidence. As long as she didn't admit it, no one could do anything to His Majesty...
The men who were turned away looked at the closed wooden door helplessly.
If our fathers were young and had a prince as their backer, breaking into private houses would not be a big deal.
But things are different now. If they dare to take action, with so many eyes watching them, and public opinion comes together, the Prince's Mansion will be in trouble.
Besides, they are no longer the servants who sold their bodies as before. There is no need to risk their lives and the future of their families.
A few of them looked at each other, pondered for a moment, and then left Orchid Lane under the disappointed gazes of the surrounding residents.
When they returned to Prince Changning's Mansion and reported the news, the mansion was in chaos again.
And Qianghua in the palace was also very depressed.
When rumors about her gender started spreading, she knew who started it without even having to check.
She was ready to do something big to shock the people of Jing State, but the royal family, court officials and nobles did not dare to say a word and inexplicably came to apologize with their families.
"Tsk." Qianghua stood in the imperial garden that separated the front court from the harem, speechless.
It would have been fine if the people of the previous dynasty didn't believe it, but the concubines in the harem didn't even have any doubts at all!
She can naturally tell the truth from the falsehood.
However, even if the concubines in the harem did not doubt her gender, it did not prevent her from being "driven" out of the harem, and more than one person "drove" her away!
The concubines in the harem who always wanted to get close to her now don’t want to see her anymore!
Qianghua had no idea how annoying it was to have the concubines in the harem standing and looking at her.
When he and His Majesty stood together before, they could be said to be a young couple, but later they became siblings, and now they are even mother and son!
The concubines in the harem are really upset. The Imperial Medical Bureau has prescribed so many beauty creams for each of them, and they ask them every day whether His Majesty has used any beauty products!
The imperial doctors also secretly groaned. His Majesty didn't even ask for his pulse, so how could they know if His Majesty had any beauty products to maintain his looks?
Naturally, the concubines' inquiries yielded no results.
In addition, they knew that His Majesty was not a mean and ungrateful monarch who would not suppress them at will. They also had promising children and did not have any other aspirations in their hearts. Naturally, they did not want to be the foil anymore.
She didn't even want to fight for the position of Empress.
I am afraid that one day when I attend an event with His Majesty, people will stare at me as an elderly queen mother!
The rose was then disliked by the concubines in the harem.
So, the rumors did cause her some harm.
