Chapter 196 The Li family’s troubles

Little Eunuch Li unfolded the imperial edict and read it out in front of all the people watching.

When everyone heard the content of the imperial edict, they cheered one after another, while the Zhou family members collapsed on the ground with ashen faces.

The emperor ordered Zhou Ang to be executed at Lingchi, and all the other Zhou family members to be executed at noon tomorrow, no one, male or female, was spared.

Little Eunuch Li also quietly told Mrs. Wu'anhou that Concubine Zhou Shu had been deposed as a concubine and given Bai Ling.

The eldest prince was punished to shut himself up and think about his mistakes, and Wu Zhao was not allowed to leave the house in the future.

There were also some things that he couldn't say out loud as a chamberlain, so he couldn't bear to say them.

Everyone knew that the Zhou family was completely ruined and the eldest prince was useless, so they went back cursing.

Before Mrs. Shen returned home, she gave Mrs. Wu'anhou a look that you know, meaning she is waiting for news from you.

Mrs. Wu'anhou also returned Mrs. Shen's look, which meant: wait.

Mrs. Li and her two children did not go home, but went to the Shen family with the Shen family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

After entering and sitting down in the flower hall, Mrs. Shen asked her daughter-in-law to change clothes first. "Feng'er is still alive, Xiuya went to change into bright clothes."

"Yes, mother." Han Xiuya agreed and prepared to exit.

Mrs. Shen remembered something, "Xiuya, you haven't made any new clothes in the past few years, so you should ask the embroidery workshop to make a few more for you."

"Yes, mother, please make a few more."

"Okay, we both will make new clothes."

Mrs. Shen watched her daughter-in-law go out with loving eyes, and then went to wash up with Mrs. Li separately.

After the Li family's siblings were taken out to play by their servants, Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Li started chatting about home matters.

"I have wronged you these past few years."

"As long as my husband is still alive, I will not be wronged." Mrs. Li's tone was full of sadness.

Mrs. Shen knew the inside story of the Li family, "Your mother-in-law is just confused."

Mother Li's eldest son provided for her food and drink, but she always wanted to replace her younger son with the eldest son. What's even more outrageous is that she sits in charge of her eldest son's house, but wants her younger daughter-in-law to be the eldest son's house.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are colluding with each other, which makes Mrs. Li's head hurt. Later, Mrs. Shen couldn't stand it any longer, so she came to visit her as a guest, and humiliated Mother Li in secret and overtly.

He also scolded the younger daughter-in-law of the Li family mercilessly, "Don't stretch your hands too far. Women in each family are responsible for their own men." A brother-in-law always wants to put her hands into the brother-in-law's room. That's not something a serious person can do.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were ashamed and angry after hearing this, but Mrs. Shen's status was higher than theirs, and Vice General Li was obeying orders under Old General Shen. The two of them had to endure it even if they felt uncomfortable.

But five years ago, it was reported that the city of Anding was captured by the Huns, and all the soldiers in the city were killed.

Mrs. Shen also fell into the pain of losing her son and couldn't extricate herself, so she took less care of Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li was also immersed in the pain of losing her husband, and was too confused to get out.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law thought their chance had come and started acting like monsters again.

At first, Mrs. Li didn't bother to talk to them, and the Li family's youngest daughter-in-law didn't know her last name. After she successfully replaced Mrs. Li as a guest for the first time, she arrogantly thought that she could replace her sister-in-law in the world of nobles.

For her grand plan, the servants in the mansion were not allowed to tell Mrs. Li the posts sent to the mansion.

The youngest daughter-in-law of the Li family is called Mrs. Li Er outside. After succeeding several times, it became even more incredible. He actually became the master of Mrs. Li and his wife. The reason was that a little sister of Mrs. Li's childhood came back to Beijing with her husband to report on her work.

After learning that Mrs. Li's husband "died in battle," she came to visit and wanted to see her little sister.

Mrs. Li Er didn't know about this relationship and thought that her husband's official position was not as high as that of her eldest uncle, so she treated her lightly.

Those who can hang out with Mrs. Li are all girls from military generals' families.

Yang Chun'er sat in the living room and waited for a long time. Not only did she not see her friend, but there was no one to serve her tea, so she became angry.

She knew her friend's yard, so she didn't need anyone to guide her, so she angrily went to her friend's yard.

At this time, Mrs. Li was leaning listlessly on the big kang and talking to her daughter. Two maids and a close maid were trying to persuade her to cheer up.

Might as well, I saw the door curtain outside lift up, and someone came in.

Against the light, Mrs. Li didn't see who came in for a moment.

Aunt Gao recognized Yang Chun'er and was busy greeting Miss Chun'er.

When Yang Chun'er saw her friend's slovenly appearance, she knew that her friend might not know about her arrival.

When Mrs. Li saw clearly that it was Yang Chun'er who came in, she sat up and rushed over, "Chun'er, why are you here? When did you return to Beijing."

Yang Chun'er was impatient, but she was not stupid, and she thought that she didn't see many servants all the way here. That means it's still normal in my friend's yard.

When Yang Chuner realized something was wrong, she didn't hide it, so she told Mrs. Li what happened to her and everything she saw along the way.

"Sister Meilan, I came all the way. Before I saw you, I thought your house had changed hands."

Yang Chun'er's words were quite serious, and they also woke up the confused Mrs. Li.

Under the service of two maids, Mrs. Li dressed neatly and talked to Yang Chun'er for a while before sending Yang Chun'er out at Yang Chun'er's request.

Mrs. Li Er, mother and daughter, came back from outside with their maids and wives, hugging each other. I didn't expect it when I saw my sister-in-law coming out with a strange lady.

The two parties met unexpectedly at the gate of the General's Mansion.

Mrs. Li glanced at the maids and women next to Mrs. Li and smiled.

The maids and women all lowered their heads in fear, not daring to express their anger.

They also knew that by doing this they were betraying the Lord.

Yang Chuner was not in a hurry to leave, she just wanted to see what Mrs. Li Er, who was jumping up and down, would do next.

She thought she had the General's Mansion in her own hands, so how could Mrs. Li disappoint anyone? She reluctantly brought her daughter to Mrs. Li as a gift, and then walked in swaggeringly.

Yang Chun'er glanced at the idiot's back and mouthed, "Sister Meilan, you just let her eat and drink from you, and you want to point your fingers at you, without any respect?"

"It was my sister who thought wrong before."

"Sister Meilan, it's better to keep your own things in your own hands. Otherwise, some people's minds will wander after a long time, and they will shamelessly think that it belongs to her."

"Well, my sister said it well."

After sending Yang Chun'er away, Mrs. Li cheered up and went to the side hall. She summoned someone to the accounting room of the mansion and took a rough look at the recent account books of the mansion.

Fortunately, the accounts were clear, and the old accountant also reported to the wife, "During this period, the second wife came to the accountant several times to pay money in person, and the amounts were quite large."
