Sir, my wife is pretending to be innocent again

"Are you telling the truth?"

The powerful old lady of the Yuan family was shocked when she heard the eldest daughter-in-law's words, "Have you inquired carefully?"

Her eldest daughter-in-law was married to Yao, and she was also from a prominent local family. Although she was not as rich as the Yuan family, she was not bad at all. She also grew up pampered at home. However, she did not live a good life after marrying into the Yuan family. Nowadays, she has grandchildren, and she still has to serve her mother-in-law every day.

After inquiring about the outside news like this, I wanted to laugh out loud. If the Fang family was ruined, let's see how arrogant this old woman would be.

Although she was filled with joy in her heart, her face was full of worry, "Neither the Emperor nor the Queen summoned the Thirteenth Girl after she entered the capital. The first time she entered the palace was through the Yuan family's post, and the Queen saw her. There was no reward; the second time I submitted my own post, that time I was verbally humiliated by the Lord of Fu'an County of Shunyi Prefecture in front of the Queen, and I never entered the palace again."

"Last month there were a lot of rumors about the Thirteenth Girl in the capital. There were even underground gambling houses that started betting on which young man the Thirteenth Girl would marry. The names on the betting board included the Crown Prince, the Third Prince, and the Lord's family. The young master also made up some rumors about eight men competing for one woman."

How are the girls from the Fang family doing this all day long? In order to promote her, the girl from the Fang family would step on the face of the girl from the Yuan family in public. How about now?

I came to the capital with nothing, and my reputation was easily ruined. I deserved it, so I wanted to give a gift to the person behind this to relieve my anger.

She was happy in her heart. The old lady's face turned black, as if she had been dead for a few days. "The Yuan family doesn't care about this?"

Yao said, "Master Fang had already entered Beijing when the rumors came out, but..."

She deliberately hesitated to speak, but the old lady glared at her fiercely and said, "Say."

Yao said: "The emperor also did not summon Mr. Fang for family matters. Last time at the outing banquet, the thirteen girls were publicly humiliated by the third princess. Mr. Fang went to the palace to seek justice from the emperor. The emperor only punished the three princesses by grounding them for half a month. He said that A quarrel between a son and a daughter is harmless."

"It didn't take long for Mr. Fang to be accused. The emperor personally ordered a thorough investigation. Now Mr. Fang can no longer leave the Fang family residence."

No wonder the Yuan family didn't want Fang Shisan to move in. The emperor's dislike of the Fang family was barely concealed. Who dared to step forward at this time?

The old lady was shocked, "I'm being investigated. What's the investigation for?"

"Master Fang is guilty of abuse of power for personal gain, corruption and other crimes."

"How's the investigation going?"

Yao shook his head, hoping that if the evidence of guilt was conclusive, he would be beheaded.

"Where is Yuan Pei? What is Yuan Pei doing? He is a first-class official, so he just watches?"

The old lady was anxious. She had been the king and hegemon in the Yuan family all year round and stayed away from the court. Apart from being very assertive and knowing how to manipulate her children and grandchildren, her brain was somewhat empty.

Mainly because the Fang family didn't teach her to figure out these things when she was a girl.

"I don't understand what happened in the court. I guess I helped, or maybe I couldn't help? The emperor is related to the Fang family, maybe it's just a show?"

The emperor has made it clear that he wants to deal with the Fang family, but the Yuan family still dares to confront the emperor directly?

Have you forgotten how precarious the Yuan family was in the past few years?

The old lady showed off all day long that the blood of the Fang family was flowing in the emperor's body, as if the blood in the emperor's body was flowing through her body. What was the result?

You've buried all the trouble in your mouth and are still protecting your parents' family, so if you can't let go, why don't you just go back to Fang's family to take care of yourself in old age?

He was cursing in his heart, but his face was respectful and even worried, "The Yuan family was in trouble in the past few years, but it has finally eased up in the past two years. Even if I want to help, I'm afraid I can't do it."

"Snapped!"

The old lady slapped her hand on the coffee table. The jade bracelet on her wrist broke and fell to the ground into eight pieces.

As soon as Yuan Pei returned home, he learned that the old lady asked him to see her immediately, and he immediately felt unhappy. Her mother was not that powerful, and she, an aunt, could not recognize her identity?

Rules are still required, and he strode to the old lady's yard. The old lady took Qiao and asked him to wait for a while before letting him in. At this moment, the old lady was holding a teacup and slowly sipping tea. Yuan Pei held her hand and said, "Auntie is here. "

The old lady put down the tea cup, raised her eyes and glanced at Yuan Pei, "Sit down and talk."

"No need." Yuan Pei said: "My nephew is just here to pay his respects to his aunt. Originally, he came back to change his clothes and left. He made an appointment with some adults in the court to discuss important matters."

Without waiting for the old lady to speak, she added: "Auntie, you have to rest early because you are tired of traveling and traveling. You are no longer as young as you are with age."

After saying that, he handed over his hand and said, "My nephew will leave first."

Seeing that he really strode away, the old lady didn't come back to her senses for a moment. The Yao family next to her almost laughed out loud. Couldn't she be mad at the old lady this time?

The old lady couldn't get up the next day. She was tired from the journey. She didn't rest after arriving and wanted to get Qiao. She talked to Fang Shisan for a long time. She was so angry at night that she couldn't sleep well at night. When she got up in the morning I felt weak all over and lost all energy.

"Where's Yuan Pei?"

Seeing Mrs. Yuan coming to visit, she asked about the person. Mrs. Yuan said: "He has gone to court. Don't worry about him. There are many things going on in the court. He can only go home to eat a few days in a month. We are all used to it."

I used to come back every day, but now I'm afraid I really have to come back two or three times a month.

If you can't afford to offend, you can hide, right?

The old lady leaned on the soft pillow behind her and drooped her eyelids, "Isn't your brother-in-law ready to get married?"

Mrs. Yuan nodded, "My mother also said that she would let him go. It depends on fate."

"What kind of fate is it? Your mother-in-law is too indulgent and has no rules. The marriage contract is a major matter. The parents ordered the matchmaker to directly decide the person for him. How can he change the world?"

Mrs. Yuan stopped talking, feeling that this old lady was really lenient.

After finishing his scolding, Yuan Xin turned to Yuan Su again, "Although the marriage was granted by the emperor, I heard that the head of Fu'an County is not very old. When is the wedding date?"

"Spring next year."

The old lady glanced at her sideways, "You are quite old. When you are one year older next year, you should have more people in the house. Heirs are the most important thing."

"Do not worry about it."

Mrs. Yuan is not the Yao family, and she has to set rules in front of her, "Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. It is better for us as elders not to interfere in the affairs of young people, so as not to be complained. Then there will be chaos in the backyard. Not beautiful.”

"It's good that Wulang can agree to get married. I'm satisfied."

"You have a good rest. There are a lot of things going on in the house these days, and I have to make decisions on some things."

After saying a few polite words, he left, wondering if this old lady was crazy and thought everyone with the surname Yuan was under his control?

"It's outrageous and outrageous."

The old lady was furious. She thought about it. If Fang Shisan really lost his reputation, the high-ranking family in Beijing would not have to think about it. If Fang Shijin was dismissed by the emperor, it would be even worse for the Fang family. At this time, there must be someone A strong boost will do.

Marry Fang Shisan to Yuan Wu. With her, no one can neglect Fang Shisan. After giving birth to Lin'er, the Fang family can tie the Yuan family even tighter. Yuan Pei has been running the court for many years, and he has in-laws, who also take care of him. With in-laws, these can help the Fang family.

As for that merchant girl, even if she has the title of county head, how can she compare with her daughter from the Fang family?
