Nongmen Jia Niang: The little blessed wife of the general's family

Yin Tao turned around and saw many people knelt on the ground and kowtowed, she was startled, she hurriedly ran over with her cloak, helped Uncle He up first, and anxiously let everyone get up.

Hong Jun, Huaijiao Huaiye and others also went to help everyone. After everyone got up, Yin Tao looked at these grateful men, women and children with complicated expressions.

Faced with such a thank you gift, Yin Tao felt that she deserved it. After all, she was selfish, and she didn't even care about it before, and she didn't investigate the situation here!
She thought for a while, and said loudly to everyone: "Fathers and folks, our firm is entrusted by King Kang's mansion to come here. But we came here in a hurry today, which caused many problems. It may be very difficult to end up taking a group of people away, so if everyone wants to thank you, please thank the emperor and King Kang, we are just obeying orders."

Yin Tao didn't dare to let people remember her, so Uncle He and the others knelt down and kowtowed towards the palace again, thanking the emperor, thanking King Kang, and even those who were still in line knelt down and kowtowed to the emperor.

This time, Yin Tao didn't stop her, she whispered something to Hong Jun, turned around and left.

Back home, the exhausted Yin Tao took a good shower first, and wanted to rest after eating something.

When Madam Hu came in, Yin Tao hurriedly asked Mama Hu to sit down and asked about the family affairs. Mama Hu said that everything was going well, and she also briefly talked about the family affairs, which made Yin Tao feel confident.

After all, Mother Hu was the one who helped Mrs. Zhong manage the palace. With such a small family of Ye family, it is simply too simple.

"Ma'am, this old slave wants to say something to his wife."

"Mother Hu, just say it!" Yin Tao nestled on the bed, comfortably leaning on the thick big pillow, holding a bowl of ginger soup and slowly drinking it.

"There's something wrong with Zhou Mei. She's obviously agitated. She always cries quietly at night. These days, she keeps asking where the second master is?"

Yin Tao lowered her eyes and slowly sipped the ginger soup. The heat covered her face, making it hard for Mama Hu to see what she was thinking, but Mama Hu obviously felt that Yin Tao was a little different. He and Yao Xueer frowned and became irritable.

The room was quiet, and when Yin Tao finished drinking, he handed the bowl to Bai Shao and asked them to go out, then Yin Tao told Hu's mother what happened today.

Hu's mother was shocked, she clenched her fists with both hands, thumped her leg hard, and said sharply: "This is the life of my wife and second master!"

Yin Tao frowned, and looked at Mama Hu.

Hu's mother said: "If the second master didn't come, the thieves would make a big fuss, and my wife's good deeds would definitely be destroyed. If someone goes out to spread rumors, my wife's reputation of being reckless and disorderly will not escape. If someone is killed, I'm afraid my wife I still have to go to the yamen, the mistress of the Ye family has gone to the yamen, the Ye family will never be able to lift their heads up for the rest of their lives. The second master can't take half a step further in the officialdom, maybe he won't be able to keep his current official position."

"So serious?" Yin Tao sat up straight, she hadn't had time to think about the consequences, but hearing Hu's mother's analysis made her feel terrified again.

"It's more than that. If the second master came, didn't control his temper, killed someone on the spot and caused chaos, the second master would definitely be imprisoned. Even if the prince bailed him out, the second master might not be able to control Qilinwei."

Yin Tao slowly leaned back on the big welcoming pillow, she was no longer surprised, she still thought too little, she didn't know the sinister schemes of these officialdom and the back houses of the noble families.

But she had to understand, otherwise, Ye Xiuwen and herself would not know how they died?

After pondering for a long time, Yin Tao let out a breath slowly, and sighed: "I now understand what the second master meant when he said that the prince handed him a knife. If the second master killed Scarface as soon as he came, he would definitely be raped." The article, but Scarface wanted to assassinate the prince, but was killed by the second master. The murderer behind the scenes is here to do something."

Mother Hu was very relieved, Yin Tao was still so young, she could calm down quickly and figure out the twists and turns behind these things, which is very commendable.

She went to the door and closed it tightly, then sat next to Yin Tao, and whispered the secrets of the palace.

"The empress is the mother of a country, and the son she gives birth to is the crown prince, the crown prince of a country. But now she has been banned from the Fengyi Palace by the emperor, and the prince has also been banned from the East Palace. Madam, do you know why?"

Yin Tao shook her head and looked at Mother Hu with burning eyes. She never knew these secrets.

"Every other year, we have to draft girls. The emperor has a lot of concubines, and there are many girls who have never been favored. In the palace of all the concubines, if the emperor happens to be favored by the emperor, maybe the fate will be changed."

"But later rumors spread everywhere in the palace that there were several beautiful concubines in the uterus who were actually the emperor's showgirls, and some of them were low-ranking concubines who were favored by the emperor once or twice and then forgotten."

Yin Tao's eyes widened in surprise: "My son slept with my woman, this is really messy."

"The prince cried and said that he didn't know how these women came to his palace? He also said that he had never touched these women. The queen also begged the emperor, saying that she was framed, but how could the emperor believe it? This harem is the queen in charge."

"Mother Hu, is this true?" Yin Tao asked gossipingly.

"How can there be any truth or falsehood? If the emperor believes it, there are various evidences to prove that it is true. If the emperor does not believe it, it is a false accusation. In many cases, not everything can be right and wrong. Therefore, my wife tries her best to do things. Don’t let people get caught.”

Yin Tao understood that it was Mama Hu who was reminding her that even if you are a queen and prince, if you are caught, you can still be punished to death.

That's right, Yin Tao thought, what happened to the Ye family back then is a living example, if someone wants to punish you, if you still give it away, then wouldn't it be playing into someone else's hands.

Mother Hu comforted her softly: "Madam, you are also the mistress of the house now. It is best not to go out and show your face every day. If you have something to do, let someone do it. Why do you have to come forward in person? You have to think about it for the second master. Opponents in the officialdom may use these to criticize the second master, saying that he is not good at housekeeping! The power of a woman does not show on the surface."

Yin Tao felt a little uncomfortable hearing this, but she didn't refute it, because what Mama Hu said was the general perception in this society, and the officialdom is like this, and she will not change and tolerate because of anyone!
Being too independent is not a good thing. After all, you can't go out and talk to others about freedom and democracy, and say that women can hold up half the sky?
Ye Xiuwen naturally knew the rules of the officialdom, but he never asked himself to stay at home, even for today's incident, he never said a word harshly.

I should really think about it, now that my status is different, I really shouldn't be the one who is ahead in everything.

"Mother Hu is right. A woman's strength should not be shown on her face. I should not be a target for others to attack the second master."

Mama Hu knew that Yin Tao was a very strong-willed woman. Although she respected her very much, she was still a servant after all, and she didn't have the affection to take care of her when she was young. I'm happy, I think I'm too talkative.

But she still couldn't help persuading her, but fortunately Yin Tao listened.

"Mother Hu, I'm tired today too. Let's talk about it tomorrow. What should I do with Zhou Mei and Yao Xueer after thinking about it?"
