Lord of Fortune

"I don't know what rules you have in mind about this matter? If you drag it on like this, it will be bad for your reputation." Seeing that Han Mengqin hadn't come forward to refute the rumors, Mrs. Hu couldn't help but feel anxious for her, and finally couldn't help but come to him She said: "I heard that the number of people who came to you to donate recently has been much less than the previous two days?"

It is impossible to say that such a rumor has no effect on Han Mengqin.

Only a small number of people who firmly believe in Han Mengqin can remain unmoved, but most people will have doubts about Han Mengqin because of rumors.They were worried whether their hard-earned money would be used by Han Mengqin for their own use, and whether Han Mengqin was worthy of their trust...

As much as Han Mengqin's reputation among the common people was before, she is now being questioned as much.Fame is always a double-edged sword.

However, looking at the good side, as long as Han Mengqin proves her innocence this time, it will be difficult for anyone to shake her with the same reason in the future.

Seeing Mrs. Hu's anxious expression, Han Mengqin couldn't help feeling warm.Even though there are always people who are plotting against her, there are still people who really care about her. She held Mrs. Hu's hand and said, "Don't worry, Auntie, I have a sense of proportion. Now, it's not time to fight back."

Since the beginning of doing good deeds, Han Mengqin has let the people under his hands remember every sum clearly and clearly.As long as she took out these ledgers and handed them over to Prefect Hu for investigation, she would naturally be able to prove her innocence.

However, the actions of the Jiang family are not big enough now.If Han Mengqin immediately produced evidence to defend himself, I'm afraid the Jiang family would be able to wipe himself out with a little trickery.How could Han Mengqin tolerate Jiang's family provoking her and get away with it?

If Han Mengqin knew that the Jiang family had not only entered the water, but also brought the Wu family as an ally, he would die of laughter.Once this person dies, no one can stop him.

After appeasing Mrs. Hu, Han Mengqin began to wait for the development of the matter.

Just in case, Han Mengqin also reported the matter to Queen Ding.For a long time, she has been using Queen Ding's "potential" to increase "potential" for Queen Ding.She doesn't seem to have much contact with Queen Ding, but in fact she has never had less correspondence.

Some things that Empress Ding is inconvenient to do are handled by her. Similarly, some things that are inconvenient for her to intervene are handled by Empress Ding. Same.

A cold light flashed across Han Mengqin's narrowed eyes.

At the same time, in the capital, Master Wu, who received a letter from Governor Jiang, informed his son of the matter.

"Great, father, we finally found a chance to fight back!" Concubine Wu's younger brother's eyes lit up.

The last time the Wu family sent someone to snatch the fruit but failed, and was slapped in the face by Han Mengqin instead, the Wu family still remembers it.Anyway, they have completely offended Queen Ding's lineage to death. Now that they have seized the opportunity, they will feel sorry for themselves if they don't mess with Han Mengqin hard!

"Over the years, that girl surnamed Han has caused us a lot of trouble. As long as we work hard to make her completely lose the trust of the emperor, we can not only win over Governor Jiang, but also burn the flames on Queen Ding!"

If the daughter is proved to be embezzled-benevolent-money, the image of Empress Ding as a mother will plummet in the hearts of the people.When the time comes, both mother and daughter will be rejected by Emperor Chongde, and their chance will come!

Mr. Wu nodded: "It's a good idea. However, we still have to plan carefully for this matter."

Under the arrangement of the Wu family, soon after, the corruption of the "Queen's Daughter" spread throughout the capital.

Many people expressed their disbelief.After all, they have always had a good image of the mother and daughter Empress Ding and Han Mengqin.This mother and daughter have always been doing good deeds.Would such a good person be corrupt?

The spies of the Wu family who were in the crowd saw that the people were shaken, and immediately started to fan the flames: "I heard that even the evidence has been produced. However, the local magistrate is unable to carefully interrogate Miss Han because of her identity. Hey, I don’t know if this matter will just go away.”

"It's really chilling. Because my relatives trust that Miss Han, they donated a lot of money through her...Now, who knows if the money was spent by her herself!"

If any official has embezzled more than a certain amount and is found out, it must be a very serious matter, after all, what is searched is the people's fat and people's anointing.But donating money, to put it bluntly, this is what you want.

Even if she is really corrupted by that Miss Han, what can she do?At most, he could condemn her on a moral level.But it is precisely because of this that it makes people feel aggrieved.

People who can be persuaded by Han Mengqin to donate money must be patriotic.It's really uncomfortable to be inspired by someone, and then be poured with cold water immediately.

Many people are eager to know whether Han Mengqin is corrupt or not.Whether their money has been spent where it should be spent.

……

Empress Ding, who received the news, looked calm and was not affected by the rumors at all.

Not to mention that it is impossible for Han Mengqin to be corrupt, even if she really swallowed some, as long as the amount is not too large, Emperor Chongde will not take it to heart.Emperor Chongde didn't require all the people under him to be perfect. Those who could do good things for Emperor Chongde, as long as they acted in a proper way and didn't touch Emperor Chongde's bottom line, Emperor Chongde would not touch them.

"Your Majesty, should we go and explain to the emperor, lest the emperor misunderstand Miss?" asked the confidant next to Empress Ding.

"No, what the emperor is most worried about now is the battle on the front line. We don't need to bother the emperor over such a trivial matter. The matter of clearing up Qin'er's stigma will be discussed after the battle on the front line is over."

As for some people who are still playing tricks regardless of the domestic situation... Hehe, let's hope for luck.Didn't you see that the families of the other concubines have all disappeared recently?

"By the way, send a letter to Qin'er, so that Qin'er can rest easy."

In terms of grasping the emperor's heart, if Empress Ding ranked second, no one would rank first.

However, some people don't understand how to write the word "Xing Ting".

Not only did the Wu family send people to spread rumors outside to shake the public's trust in Empress Ding and Han Mengqin, but Concubine Wu Gui in the palace fanned the flames when paying her respects to the Queen Mother, and sued Empress Ding severely in front of the Queen Mother.

How could the Empress Dowager, who finally caught Empress Ding's handle, let go of this opportunity, immediately called Empress Ding to her, and gave her a scolding without explanation: "The Ai family said that a second-married woman like you cannot serve the Emperor, Otherwise, it will only smear my royal family, as expected! Your good girl is really shallow-sighted, and even embezzled charity money! The Ai family will definitely reprimand her! Also, your recent charity sale , Hurry up and stop, don't provoke people anymore!"

Empress Ding had been listening quietly at first, until the queen mother said this, she changed her face: "My mother can't do it, the truth of this matter has not been found out yet, if my mother reprimands Qin'er, wouldn't she just directly convict Qin'er?" ? The charity sale must not be stopped, otherwise it will appear that we have a guilty conscience? Besides, it is not my royal style to turn back our promises!"

Since the resignation of Concubine Li and the decline of the Queen Mother's natal family, the Queen Mother has become less and less concerned about the royal face.If you really want to protect the face of the royal family, you can't act so simply-roughly-brutally!

Concubine Wu Gui, who was sitting next to the queen mother, heard what Queen Ding said, and said mockingly: "The evidence is conclusive. Could it be that the queen wants to protect her own daughter? The queen is relying on the emperor's favor and trust, and she doesn't even care about the words of the queen mother." Do you see it?"

Empress Ding said coldly: "I'm talking to the queen mother, how could you be the concubine to intervene? If Concubine Wu Guifei doesn't know what is superior or inferior, she might as well copy the palace rules a few more times!"

"Enough, are you going to show off in front of Ai's family?" The Queen Mother looked at Queen Ding unkindly.

"Daughter-in-law dare not. It's just that as long as daughter-in-law is still the queen for a day, Concubine Wu Gui has no right to behave wildly in front of her daughter-in-law! Otherwise, wouldn't it be a violation of the rules? If the queen mother is in a bad mood and wants to vent her anger on her daughter-in-law, let Concubine Wu Gui retreat first." Next, my daughter-in-law promises that she will not fight back when she is beaten or scolded."

Empress Dowager: "..."

So, she hates people like Empress Ding the most, who appear to be docile and well-behaved, but in fact they will choke people with words!Even if there is no enmity against Concubine Li, the Empress Dowager will never like Empress Ding!

The queen mother's edict was not sent out, and Emperor Chongde stopped the queen mother after learning about it.

Han Mengqin is a meritorious person to him, what is the matter if the Queen Mother forces him to deal with the meritorious person?Furthermore, even Empress Ding could see that the Empress Dowager didn't take the majesty of the royal family seriously, so Emperor Chongde couldn't help but see it.

Emperor Chongde and the Empress Dowager were not direct mothers and sons, but they always respected the Empress Dowager very much, and even doted on the Empress Dowager's cousin and niece, Concubine Li, and were very friendly to the Empress Dowager's mother family.

Unfortunately, people's hearts probably don't know how to be satisfied.The Empress Dowager and her mother's family probably felt that when they helped Emperor Chongde win the throne, Emperor Chongde should indulge them unconditionally forever.Therefore, the empress dowager's elder brother sold-official-vend-jue in the previous dynasty, and the empress dowager's cousin Li Guifei called the wind and rain in the harem, oppressing other concubines and princes.

Emperor Chongde's patience was limited after all. The Queen Mother's mother clan did play a big role in his rise to power, but they had merit, and Emperor Chongde had already rewarded them at the beginning of his ascension to the throne. Later, they stabbed Emperor Chongde would naturally punish him if he made a big mistake.

In the end, the Empress Dowager's elder brother was dismissed from office, Concubine Li Gui was thrown into the cold palace, and the third prince was demoted to common people.

Since then, the Queen Mother's temper has become more and more bizarre. Emperor Chongde still offered the Queen Mother high, but only his face was left.

This time, the Empress Dowager suddenly got involved in this matter, and Emperor Chongde was also very speechless.

He comforted Empress Ding in private: "My mother's behavior has become more and more absurd recently. Empress just listen to what she says, don't take it to heart."

Of course, Emperor Chongde knew that the Empress Dowager was not in a good mood and often made things difficult for Empress Ding. However, it was impossible for him to argue with the Empress Dowager for the sake of Empress Ding. After all, the Empress Dowager was his aunt.

Empress Ding said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, my concubines will definitely be more respectful to my mother."

Anyway, the Queen Mother no longer has any real power in the palace, so what is she afraid of?All the queen mother can do now is to call her over to scold her from time to time, to find fault with her, and she can't suffer.

"Speaking of which, Concubine Wu Gui is too ignorant. She annoys her mother with everything, and even contradicts the concubine, the concubine, in front of her mother. Copy it a few times, what does the emperor think?"

As soon as Concubine Wu was mentioned, Emperor Chongde thought of the incident of jumping up and down in front of the Wu family, and he became more and more impatient: "Ms. Wu has acted inappropriately several times. I think she is an old man in the palace, so I let it go gently. This time It is impossible not to teach her a lesson. In my opinion, according to her character, she is not worthy of the position of noble concubine, so she should be demoted to nobleman, fined with one year's salary, and banned for half a year."
