Chapter 674: Let Her Go to the Nunnery to Cleanse Herself!
This day in the Xingguo Duke's Mansion is destined to be unlucky!
Something happened to Miss Shao who entered the palace, and it was not a small matter. After returning to the palace, Mrs. Xingguo was punished again and was dragged to the ancestral hall by the dowager.
The entire Xingguo Duke's mansion was in commotion, and many servants were trembling with fear, not knowing what was going on.
In addition to the palace doctor, the eldest lady who was originally the most favored also had several doctors invited from outside. It seemed that the eldest lady contracted an incurable disease after entering the palace.
Mrs. Xingguo, who has always been aloof and aloof, has always been the best in the entire Xingguo mansion, but I heard that she offended the fifth lady and was punished by kneeling in the ancestral hall. Later, after the fifth lady moved out the tattered furniture in the room, she even dazzled everyone. eyes, and then everyone sighed, it was indeed the fifth young lady whom Madam abused, and the rumors of the past were suddenly revived.
And then another thing happened. Miss Qi, who was originally detained in the mansion, escaped. Not only did she escape, but she also happened to have an accident. In her panic, the carriage hit the carriage of several officials and their families who were traveling. , hearing that she was the goddaughter of Duke Xingguo, the officials wanted to send her back to the palace for the sake of Duke Xingguo.
Qi Rongzhi took a bad look and cried for help from several officials. This is how everyone came to know that Miss Qi, who was regarded as her goddaughter, lived a life worse than a pig or a dog in the Xingguo Duke's mansion. Not only was she looked down upon by several ladies, but she also He would scorn and ridicule, and would even find excuses to beat and scold him.
In a word, Qi Rongzhi did not live a superior life in the Xingguo Duke's Palace. Even the maids in the Xingguo Duke's Palace could bully her. Now they even locked her up and wanted to marry her to the nephew in the Xingguo Duke's Palace. Wang Shengxue, who was notorious before, had to risk her life to escape because of this.
In order to win people's trust, Qi Rongzhi also told the reason why Mrs. Xingguo recognized her in the first place. She said that originally Mrs. Xingguo was interested in Shao Wanru, but Shao Wanru was unwilling to recognize her as her adoptive mother. In order to force Shao Wanru to commit the crime, Madam deliberately publicized it outside so much that she had to admit her later.
The ups and downs in this plot are like a storybook. Because after Shao Wanru recognized his ancestor and returned to the clan, he was forced to leave the Xingguo Duke's mansion and go to the nunnery to retreat, which heightened the color of conspiracy.
It turns out that Duke Xingguo's wife had a plan for a long time. Thinking of the farce that the eldest lady of the Qin Mansion said about recognizing her ancestor and returning to her clan and pretending to be someone else, how could she have the courage to do such a thing without the approval of the Duke Xingguo Mansion? This statement is indeed consistent with what happened before.
What was originally only two or three points of belief immediately increased to five or six points.
Qi Ronzhi also risked her life this time. She was afraid that others would send her to Xingguo Mansion again. She also knew that if she went back this time, she might never have another chance. Of course, she had to say something at this time, and she had to give birth to something even if she didn't have anything. What to express her despair and misery.
She finally had such a chance to escape, it could even be said to be her only time, how could she give up? She fell to the ground crying while talking, extremely miserable 1
After listening to Qi Rongzhi's cry, everyone looked at each other. They couldn't believe what they heard. Mrs. Xingguo, who had always been dignified and decent in front of others, was actually such a person. And listening to the meaning, Mrs. Xingguo recognized it. This Miss Qi clearly has a conspiracy, and this conspiracy is against the current Miss Shao Wu, and Qi Rongzhi just happened to meet him.
Think about the meaning of what Qi Ronzhi just said. Not only did Mrs. Xingguo bully her, but also the ladies in the Xingguo mansion were not good. They usually found various reasons to beat and scold her, even the maids. You can bully her at will. Although Qi Rongzhi is just the daughter of a local official, she can't be bullied by a maid.
Several young ladies in Duke Xingguo's mansion also look like Duke Xingguo, with not very good character, especially Miss Shao, who is said to have the best reputation. She is the biological daughter of Duke Xingguo, and it is more likely that she He has a kind face and a vicious heart, and the so-called talent and appearance may be a joke.
As for Wang Shengxue's matter, everyone felt even more contemptuous. Because of the relationship with the Xingguo Duke's government, many people knew about Wang Shengxue's matter. He was a young man who used to have a good life, but later even lost his title and started flirting with several women. He is very dirty and no one wants to marry such a person.
I didn't expect that Mrs. Xingguo would actually push someone else's daughter into such a hot bed. It was really shocking.
Although she was her goddaughter, and because her parents were not married, it was okay for Mrs. Xingguo to help someone arrange a marriage, but when others were unwilling, she forced her and locked her up, which was really a bit vicious.
Qi Rongghi's carriage had an accident on the street, and because he was afraid of being taken back to the Xingguo Duke's mansion, he cried directly on the street. For a while, there was a huge crowd of spectators. When Qi Rongghi was taken away by Qi Tianyu who came after hearing the punishment, everyone still Everyone around was talking about Qi Rongzhi.
They all felt that Mrs. Xingguo was too vicious.
Some people pitied Qi Rongzhi, some hated the Xingguo Palace, some doubted the so-called reputation of the Xingguo Palace, and some people connected many things together.
After Mrs. Xingguo wanted to recognize Miss Shao Wu but was rejected, she did not give up and plotted against Miss Shao Wu, forcing her to recognize Qi Rongzhi. Then Miss Shao Wu's adopted sister at the time used Miss Shao Wu's name and planned to replace her. Miss Shao Wu became the daughter of the crown prince of Xingguo. Then a fire burned down and half of the capital saw it. The yard where Miss Shao Wu lived was burned to ashes, forcing Miss Shao Wu to go up the mountain to Yuhui Temple to repair.
Although it has been quiet for a while, things have happened one after another recently. Something happened in Yuhui Nunnery. Some people said that Miss Shao Wu was a disaster star, and even the court was shocked. Someone tricked Miss Shao Wu into going down the mountain, and she almost died there. At the foot of Yuhui'an Mountain... there are many various things.
I don’t know if I don’t want to, but I’ll be frightened when I think about it!
There is clearly a series of conspiracies here, and the target is Miss Shao Wu, the daughter of the former crown prince of the Xingguo Duke's mansion. Thinking about the complicated affairs of the Xingguo Duke's mansion, the crown prince Xingguo and Princess Qinghua who were supposed to inherit the eldest house are both dead. , and he still died outside. Is there another reason behind this?
In fact, it was not just because of the war, but also because the second room in the Xingguo Palace wanted to seize the title? If this is really the case, then the lineage of the former Crown Prince of Xingguo is really pitiful!
Now that there are orphans and weak brothers left, those people are not letting them go, and they must be willing to kill them.
As for the reason why the young master is okay, it is also because he has been raised in the residence of the eldest princess Ruian for the past three years, otherwise he would have been swallowed by this time without leaving any bones.
Some people also remembered that this young master Hao had a very bad reputation in the Xingguo Duke's palace at that time. They said that this posthumous young master was a demon star. At that time, they felt that the madam was thinking of her deceased son, so she would especially pamper him. My little grandson, I feel horrible when I think about it now.
Instead of doting on the child, he clearly wants to feed the child to death.
Everyone in the capital was talking about Duke Xingguo's mansion, his wife, and the young lady of Duke Xingguo's mansion that day. Most people came to the conclusion that there might be another reason for the death of the former Crown Prince Xingguo, and he might have been killed by his current second wife. Yes, it is the second wife who is benefiting now, and she is bent on killing the children of the first wife.
This news came into the Duke Xingguo's Mansion along with the ruler given by the Queen Mother. Madam Tai, who only heard the rumors outside, saw the ruler and ring sent by the Queen Mother again. Her face turned blue with anger and her face was ferocious. She never expected that this incident would not only make the Queen Mother angry, but also make the whole capital talk about the Xingguo Duke's mansion.
"Has the Duke come back?" The wife took a deep breath and said coldly.
"Don't worry, Mrs. Tai. I've already sent someone to guard the Duke at the door. He will come right away as soon as he comes back!" Aunt Yu gently patted Mrs. Tai's back and helped her catch her breath, for fear of being afraid. She was so out of breath that she couldn't catch her breath.
"It's already this time, and you're not at home anymore. Where have you been?" the madam said irritably, her brows furrowed so much that she could almost pick up something.
"Madam, don't worry, the Duke must be in trouble. Besides, these things happened suddenly. No one expected that such a thing would happen!"
With the things going on right now, Grandma Yu could only advise her like this.
"Madam, the Duke is back!" A panting voice came from a maid in the corridor, who was obviously running over to report.
"Quickly, let him in!" the madam said hurriedly, sitting up straight and looking at the door eagerly. Too many things happened today, and the madam felt mentally and physically exhausted at this time, and she urgently needed her son to share the burden.
The maid at the door opened the curtain, and the chubby Duke Xingguo walked in. His usually smiling face showed a bit of anger, and his eyes were cold. He came forward and bowed to the Madam before sitting on a chair on the side. He sat down and then his eyes fell on a jade box in front of the Madam.
This is the jade box sent by the Queen Mother just now.
"Mother, what is this?"
"Your wife was yelling in the house today, as if the siblings were not your brother's children. The Queen Mother and the people sent by King Chen heard this. Then they saw that the house your wife bought for Shao Wanru was all in tatters. I couldn’t find any good furniture, which made me lose face. The Queen Mother got angry and sent someone to send a ruler and a book of female rings to your wife!”
The madam had a headache and covered her head, feeling very upset.
Although she has these speculations in her mind, she just needs to think about this kind of thing in her heart. To actually shout it out like this, even if no one from the Queen Mother hears it, it is not a good thing for others to hear it. Speaking of which, it is also her I behaved improperly and caused such a big incident.
Thinking back to the rumors from outsiders, the two wives were as big as the other, and I just felt very annoyed.
Aunt Yu stepped forward and opened the box. As expected, there was a white jade ruler and a book of women's rings. She spread them out and placed them in front of Duke Xingguo.
There was a stern look on Duke Xingguo's round and fat face. He glanced at the ruler in the box, slowly raised his head, and said with determination: "Mother, let her go to the nunnery to do some repairs!"
