After the whole family was swept away, I lay down flat

Chapter 1120 Backstab
The head of the Zhang family and Concubine Zhang Gong both gave up on the notorious daughter of the first branch and began to train younger girls to prepare for the future.

However, before looking into the future, the former has not forgotten that he must first deal with the aftermath of his daughter's scandal.

It is still unknown whether his daughter can be promoted from the concubine of Prince Ping to the successor of Prince Ping. However, the head of the Zhang family was furious when he thought that the reason why his plan was aborted was because someone of his own secretly informed the Prince Ping's wife.

Of course, he knew that the Zhang family had gone back on their word and was in the wrong, but the Luo family was a vassal of the Zhang family. Without the support of the Zhang family, how could they have been so rich today? The Luo family had received great favors from the Zhang family for many years. The Zhang family only let the Luo family's legitimate daughter be a concubine and give birth to a child. How did they wrong her? Even if the boy born by the Luo family girl could not become the grandson of the King of Ping in the future, he would still be the grandson of the King of Ping and have the hope of being granted a noble title! If the Luo family girl did not marry into the King of Ping's mansion as a concubine, and married a son of an official or a duke, she would certainly be able to get an imperial decree as the main wife, but would the child she gave birth to have a more noble status? !
It was a great blessing for the daughter of the Luo family to marry into the prince's mansion, all thanks to the grace of the Zhang family. What qualifications did the Luo family have to resent the Zhang family, and they actually quietly ruined the Zhang family's big plan? This is simply an ungrateful person!

Although the Zhang family has already declined, they still have the dignity of a family with three generations of concubines. They absolutely cannot tolerate such an ungrateful person who betrays his master to continue to be arrogant! No matter what, the Luo family must pay the price for this incident!

The head of the Zhang family rebuked the Luo family without hesitation, and wanted the Luo family to apologize and accept punishment. In addition to doubling the tribute, the Luo daughter who caused the disaster would also be severely punished. Even if she was pregnant with the child of the second son of Prince Ping, the Zhang family could not tolerate it. Since the daughter of the Zhang family was about to marry the prince of Ping as a concubine, the heir of the Prince of Ping's mansion would naturally be born by her. Whether it was the prince of Ping's wife or the second son of Ping, it was best not to have children, so as not to affect the inheritance rights of the Zhang family's grandson.

However, the Zhang family's daughter had not yet married into the Prince Ping's mansion, and they needed to maintain their virtuous image, so the Zhang family naturally could not do bad things. The only ones who could do bad things were the Luo family members who had committed a serious mistake.

After receiving the secret order from the Zhang family, the Luo family felt as disgusted as if they had swallowed a fly.

Yes, the Luo family didn't know that their daughter had told the secret of the daughter of the Zhang family's legitimate branch, which ruined the plan of the head of the Zhang family. After learning the news, they were also panicked and angry, and privately blamed their daughter for acting on her own. But this daughter was already pregnant with the child of the second legitimate son of Prince Ping, and the Luo family still hoped that she could live well in Prince Ping's mansion and lead her family members to rise to prominence. Naturally, they would not punish her severely, but only reprimanded her lightly and asked her to return to Prince Ping's mansion quickly, not to go out unless necessary, and to stay with Princess Ping and Prince Ping's Crown Prince's Consort to avoid revenge from the Zhang family.

The Zhang family persuaded the Luo family to marry their daughter to the Ping Wang Mansion as a concubine by promising the successor of the Prince of Ping. But the Zhang family turned around and wanted to marry their daughter to the Prince of Ping as a successor. The Luo family was not without anger. They just did not dare to complain to his face, but they had the same thoughts in their hearts.

Although the Zhang family had been the backer of the Luo family for many years, it was now on the decline, and the Luo family was also worried. The legitimate daughters of the Zhang family of this generation failed to enter the harem of the new emperor and seemed to be despised by the royal nobles. Only one daughter of the side branch was granted marriage by the previous emperor and was about to marry the Earl of Cheng En, which still had some respectability as a family of in-laws.

However, the Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion had been in decline for a long time. The Empress Wu of the previous emperor had died more than ten years ago. The only remaining Prince Kang was in poor health and could not participate in politics. Cheng'en Marquis relied on the protection of the Empress Dowager and Prince Kang's Mansion, and was not outstanding in the circle of relatives. It was said that he even borrowed money from relatives to rebuild his former residence. What future could such a Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion have? It would be difficult for the daughter of the Zhang family's side branch to support the family business if she married there. How much energy would she have to give back to her natal family?
Since the daughter of the Zhang family could not provide support to her family, and the princess who was born had a mediocre relationship with the new emperor, the Empress Dowager Zhang Gong in the palace first refused the marriage proposal of the younger generation of the Empress Dowager's family, and then took an ambiguous position before the death of the previous emperor, offending Empress Dowager Xu. After the new emperor took the throne, she completely lost her power in the palace, and now she can only live by the face of the Empress Dowager. Prince An is now very obedient to the new emperor, and it is impossible for him to oppose the new emperor for his mother's family. The Zhang family has nothing to rely on, and there are no children in the family to support the family business. Obviously, there is no successor, so how can they have the confidence to support the family of relatives?

The Zhang family has lost its power, so why should they continue to protect the Luo family? Because the Zhang family is obviously declining. In the past few months, the Luo family has lost several big businesses one after another, and the family members and friends behind the new ministers have their eyes on the Luo family's property. The Zhang family turned a blind eye to this and only asked the Luo family to be tolerant, but if the Luo family continues to be tolerant, they will be swallowed up!
Originally, the Luo family had hoped that their daughter would give birth to the grandson of Prince Ping's Mansion so that he could support her family, but the Zhang family stabbed them in the back. Now they even asked them to get rid of the heir in their daughter's belly and pave the way for the future son of Zhang's daughter, without caring how Prince Ping's Mansion would retaliate against the Luo family in anger after something happened to their daughter.

The head of the Luo family gathered his brothers and nephews and discussed it secretly for a day. They all felt that this kind of thing must not be agreed to. Once agreed, it was still unknown whether the Zhang family could continue to support the Luo family's prosperity. The Luo family would definitely not be able to withstand the revenge of Prince Ping's Mansion.

They sent the women in their family to visit Prince Ping's mansion, pretending to visit their pregnant daughter. They told the Zhang family that they were going to inform their daughter, but in fact they took the opportunity to inform Princess Ping.

Princess Ping was furious. Even if she valued her two nieces more and was not willing to let other women give birth to her son's flesh and blood, it did not mean that she would tolerate the family of the prince's concubine who had not yet entered the palace to kill her own grandson. Moreover, the prince's concubine wanted to eliminate the prince and his legitimate brothers' offspring before she entered the palace, and fight for power for her future son. When she really entered the palace, would the offspring born to Princess Ping's two sons' wives and concubines still have a way to survive? ! Could it be that if the prince remarried after his wife died and the prince's concubine became pregnant with a legitimate son, the Zhang family would also kill her? Then how could the Ping Palace, which had always been peaceful, have a peaceful life? !

Princess Ping discussed privately with her two nieces and daughters-in-law. They knew that they couldn't rely on men for this kind of thing. The palace had already issued a statement, agreeing that the daughter of the Zhang family's direct line would marry the prince as a concubine. Now it was unrealistic to say no. But after the vicious woman came into the house, she must not give birth to a child, otherwise all the boys in the Prince Ping's mansion would suffer. They decided that when Zhang married in, they would feed her with sterilization soup to completely dispel her delusions.

At the same time, the three aunts and nieces also reached a consensus that they would protect the baby in Luo's belly. Although the wife of the second son of Prince Ping was unhappy, she also knew that since she could not give birth to a child, sooner or later someone else would be born. Luo was at least sensible and polite, and her husband did not favor a concubine over his wife for her. It is better for the child to come out of Luo's belly than from others. In any case, she could not let Zhang succeed and be arrogant in Prince Ping's mansion. Otherwise, even if she was not the wife of Prince Ping's son, as the cousin of Prince Ping's son Yuanfei and the second prince's wife who had no children, what good life could she have in the future? !

The women of Prince Ping's mansion joined forces with the Luo family to protect Luo's unborn child. Princess Ping also sent people to the Zhang family, under the pretext of discussing the wedding date, but in fact, she was conveying a warning to the Zhang family to restrain themselves and not have any more evil thoughts. But when the Zhang family heard this, they knew that the Luo family had "betrayed" them again, so how could they tolerate it again?
Anyway, the Prince Ping's Mansion would only protect their own flesh and blood, but would not protect the Luo family. The Zhang family had to teach the Luo family a lesson, otherwise the latter would really rebel!
