Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

But Master Sun Er also knew that now that the first wife's house had become wealthy and Sun Linlang had become the head of a palace, it was impossible for him to get the first wife's money. Even if Old Master Sun and Old Madam Sun helped, they could not get the first wife's money. On the contrary, he might even get trouble from the angry first wife.

The first wife now has status, and her treasures are of high quality. If they really want to cause trouble for the second wife, it will happen in minutes, so how could he dare to ask for money from the first wife?

Thinking of this, Master Sun Er couldn't help but regret again. If he had known that the first wife would become prosperous, he would never have driven them away just because they were useless to him, and would have continued to use them.

But now that they have been driven away, there is no point in regretting it. The only thing we can do is to suppress them.

Without mentioning how happy the Second House was about cousin Sun's promotion, it was said that Linlang had nothing to do for the time being after the New Year - it was impossible for her to be promoted in the short term (the rank of a concubine was already quite high, and even if she wanted to be promoted, it would not be possible so quickly). As for the job of Master Sun, the seventh rank was already good, and it was not easy to be promoted for the time being, so Linlang had nothing to do for the time being. Usually, when the emperor summoned her, she would just improve the emperor's favorability, and there was no extra action.

There was no unnecessary action in these aspects, Linlang's main attention was on Concubine Liu.

After all, Linlang had thought about this when she was promoted a few years ago. Once she was promoted and left Zi Lan Palace, she would be able to deal with Concubine Liu.

It is not difficult to deal with Concubine Liu, because God knows how many people she has asked for money. As long as the things she has done are exposed, she will definitely be dead.

But those were all low-ranking concubines, and no one dared to resist Concubine Liu. Besides, Concubine Liu was not favored, so no one usually bothered her. After all, in the palace, it was better to have less trouble than more. If they had the energy to deal with Concubine Liu, they might as well deal with those who were favored, or use it to compete for favor. Using it to deal with Concubine Liu, what would the point? It would not benefit them at all to deal with Concubine Liu. On the contrary, if they failed, they would have one more enemy, which would be very troublesome. So although they knew that Concubine Liu did these things, no one bothered her.

But Linlang is different from them. Concubine Liu has caused trouble for Linlang, and Linlang will definitely retaliate. Therefore, it is beneficial for her to deal with Concubine Liu. Naturally, she will not ignore her just because Concubine Liu is a nobody.

It was also very easy for Linlang to deal with Concubine Liu. Just like what Linlang said before, as long as the things Concubine Liu did were exposed, she would be dead.

In particular, when Concubine Liu had Concubine Song and Concubine Cao as her right-hand men, she was particularly arrogant. If some people did not give in, she would use the excuse of misbehavior in front of the palace to beat those concubines. Many of them were injured and had to stay in bed for a long time. Among them, a low-ranking concubine, Qian Gengyi, died as a result. Although Linlang later saw from the Little Bee that Concubine Liu had seen someone die and felt a little guilty, Concubine Liu argued that Qian Gengyi was in poor health and was not beaten to death by her.

Qian Gengyi's health was indeed not very good, and the cause of his death might have nothing to do with Concubine Liu. However, Qian Gengyi was lying in bed recuperating after being beaten by Concubine Liu, and died not long after that. It is unreasonable to say that it had nothing to do with Concubine Liu.

So Linlang secretly used the holographic dream-weaving props to tell the emperor what Concubine Liu had done. On that day, when the emperor was not visiting the harem and was living alone, she made up a dream of money and went to the emperor's dream to cry and let the emperor make the decision for her.

People of that era were superstitious and naturally believed in this kind of dream. After the emperor woke up, he thought it was Qian Gengyi telling him a dream, so he immediately sent people from the Ministry of Punishment to investigate.

In fact, there is no need to investigate. The last time, when the emperor was dealing with Concubine Song and Concubine Cao, some people in Zi Lan Palace sued Concubine Liu for money. However, because other people refuted this statement, the emperor thought that those people were making false accusations and did not continue the investigation. After all, there was no telling how many people in the harem had made false accusations. If he believed and investigated every one of them, it would be extremely annoying. Therefore, generally without definite evidence, the emperor was too lazy to take care of these matters and only let Empress Dowager Wu take care of them.

Empress Dowager Wu was old and didn't like to work hard, so how could she care about it? As a result, there were many dirty things in the harem. But this time, a low-ranking concubine who died came to him in his dream and cried about this matter, so the emperor had to deal with it.

——It’s fortunate that the emperor dealt with it, otherwise, in order to get the emperor to deal with this matter, Linlang would have kept appearing in her dreams until the emperor got tired of it and issued an order to deal with it.

Since the emperor wanted to investigate, and there were countless people who knew about what Concubine Liu had done, it was natural that he would find out the truth after the investigation.

The investigation soon got to the bottom of the matter. It was found that Qian Gengyi's death was indeed more or less related to Concubine Liu. In addition, Concubine Liu had been blackmailing concubines of lower positions for many years and had committed numerous crimes. The emperor was furious when he saw that this was true. Although he did not kill Concubine Liu, he abolished her position and sent her to the cold palace.

This was because she was his elder, and it could not be confirmed that Qian Gengyi's death was related to Concubine Liu. Also, Concubine Li's son was born not long ago, and the Emperor wanted to accumulate blessings for his son, so Concubine Liu escaped death. Otherwise, she would have been dead.

Seeing that Concubine Liu was demoted to a commoner and sent to the cold palace, Linlang nodded with satisfaction, thinking that she had finally dealt with her. You know, she had wanted to fight back as early as the first time Concubine Liu caused trouble for her.

As Concubine Liu was banished to the cold palace, the Liu family's good days naturally came to an end.

When they were rich in the past, they spent money lavishly, did not save money, did not buy houses or shops, and when they ran out of money, they would ask Concubine Liu for money, thinking that as long as Concubine Liu was at home, they would not have to worry about having no money.

Now that Concubine Liu has been deposed, they have no other source of income and are directly out of food.

Fortunately, the Liu family bought a high-end house in the capital. Now that they have lost their source of income and are about to run out of food, they sold this house and have some money on hand.

After they had money, they did not buy a house, but rented a small house which was much worse than the previous one and did not return to their hometown.

After all, they are used to living in the capital, and they can't bear to go back to their hometown.

The money from the sale of the house did not last long. After all, it is difficult to live frugally. They used to live lavishly, and now they suddenly had such a large sum of money. They immediately forgot the pain and the difficulties they had when they were out of food. They continued to spend lavishly and even had unrealistic dreams, thinking that maybe Concubine Liu could still rise. After all, weren't all the concubines in the palace like this? Sometimes they were sent to the cold palace, and sometimes they came out.

So they don't need to live frugally and can continue to live the same life as before. When the money is gone, Concubine Liu may get married, and they will have money to spend again?
If they think like this, their fate is predictable. (End of this chapter)
