The mistress of the Hou family went crazy after doting on concubines and killing their wives.

Chapter 133 Disobedience
Lu Wan came out wearing plain clothes, it was as cold as a distant mountain in winter.

Xiuyi was startled when he saw her.

She had met Lu Wan several times. She often went to the palace to play with the eldest princess. Because of her status, she was as noble as a princess, and she had a wanton and innocent temperament.

She also kept thinking about how such a simple noblewoman could do such earth-shattering things and make the two noble princes lose their face. There must be someone behind the scenes as Lu Guifei said, such as the Duke of Qin.

But when I saw her today, I felt like she was a completely different person.

The girl's innocence and cheerfulness have faded from her eyebrows. She is respectful and polite when facing her, but her eyes are full of coldness and alienation.

It seems that she is no longer unenthusiastic about the second-grade female officials who came out of her palace.

"The imperial concubine has always wanted to call the girl to have a good talk, but thinking that you have been busy dealing with family affairs recently, she can't bear to torment you. Today, Mrs. Xie went to the palace to meet the imperial concubine. The empress also specifically asked about the things prepared by Xie's parents' room. "How's the wedding going? I've also thought of preparing some extra makeup and will give it to you myself."

Lu Wan sneered in her heart.

Everyone in the palace is a human being, and they have to go through countless hardships to stand at the highest position.

Aunt Xiuyi is one of the best.

He can speak well and avoid making mistakes.

She said one word how considerate and generous the imperial concubine was to her, and forced her to enter the palace.

If she dares to refuse, it should be said that she is arrogant and does not even look down on the imperial concubine.

Lu Wan bowed down respectfully: "Miss Xiu, I am particularly grateful for your great love for me. For my lifelong happiness, your majesty personally begged your majesty to grant a marriage to Xie Huaiyu for me. Unfortunately, Xie Huaiyu did not know how to cherish your gift and did so. Doing something unforgivable.”

Lu Wan raised her eyes with tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty has been so kind to me. In order not to let down your love, I still married into the Xie family. My Majesty already gave her a gift last time. How can I have the face to accept her gift now? What? If I enter the palace, your Majesty will definitely give it to me, and I will feel deeply guilty and unable to repay her. "

Xiuyi choked.

Lu Wan had a well-behaved look on her face: "Aunt Xiu, thank you for making the trip in person. I have to trouble you to report it to the empress on my behalf. Lu Wan doesn't dare to bear it anymore. I will never have the face to see the empress in the future."

Xiuyi's face looked a little ugly. No one had ever dared to refuse the imperial concubine's summons.

Several palace officials who came with him were also dumbfounded.

Mrs. Lu, who rushed over after hearing the news, almost fell down: "Wan'er, how can you not go when the imperial concubine summons you?"

Lu Wan turned around, her previous obedience completely gone: "How about grandma entering the palace for Wan'er?"

Xiuyi couldn't see her expression, but could hear her tone.

She dared to use such a malicious and cold tone to her grandmother. No matter how stupid she was, she could detect the unruliness beneath her respectful face.

Mrs. Lu hesitated.

Xiu Yi's face darkened: "Miss Lu, this servant is just here to pass on your Majesty's words. Are you trying to smear your Majesty's face?"

Lu Wan turned around and looked at her in surprise: "The Queen will always ask me if I have time when giving orders. Is it inconvenient? Is the Imperial Concubine more noble than the Queen?"

Xiu Yi's face changed at this moment: "Lu Wan, you are too presumptuous! You have to enter the palace today if you don't want to!"

Lu Wan also put away her showy expression: "Oh? It must have been Mrs. Xie who came to the palace and told me about asking for my things back? I gave the Xie family three days, and now there is only one day left. Could it be these things? Is the imperial concubine involved? So the imperial concubine announced that I have entered the palace to force me to give up these things? "

Xiuyi was startled and a little flustered: "It's nothing."

"Since this is not the case, then I will go to the palace to apologize to the imperial concubine in two days. But until this matter is resolved, I cannot enter the palace to see the imperial concubine." Lu Wan looked stubborn.

Xiu Yi is in a dilemma.

If this is not the case, it is actually this. With Lu Wan's current lunatic state and Yan Yunhe now helping her, if he bites the imperial concubine and the eldest prince, it will be really troublesome.

"Granny Xiu. I understand that your Majesty wants to stand up for the Xie family. However, your Majesty also has to look at what is going on before you stand up. Otherwise, you will take the blame for others, right? Just like your Majesty's marriage, which was originally well-intentioned, was ultimately rejected by the Xie family. I failed. Now when the Xie family begged the queen, the queen came to force me again. It was reported that the queen had repeatedly forced me, a little girl, to give in for the sake of the mother clan. She didn’t even care about the face of Qin Guogong. Is it not worth the loss if the matter is impeached by the Yushitai and the court officials? ""Lu Wan did not enter the palace, but for the sake of the empress, Aunt Xiu, you should understand what I say?"

"How dare you slander the empress!" One of the palace officials couldn't help it.

As concubines, they have never been rejected by anyone.

Lu Wan raised her eyelids and looked at the man: "I also hope it's slander. If your reputation is damaged because of my entry into the palace, wouldn't it be a sin for me?"

"you!!"

The man was so angry that he wanted to speak, but Xiu Yi glanced at him.

Xiuyi, who has been immersed in the palace for many years, has completely lost the smile on her face when facing such a cunning little girl.

"Is this what a girl must be like?"

Lu Wan smiled: "Actually, there is a solution to this matter. If the empress really wants to help the Xie family, she can just come forward and let the Xie family do it."

This matter involved the imperial concubine and the eldest prince, and she had long expected that the imperial concubine would come forward to force her.

When Lu Wan first married into the Xie family, Mrs. Xie specifically asked her to take care of the house for two years in order to let her use her dowry to help the Xie family.

In the past two years, the Xie family needed a lot of money for various matters, including the position of Marquis after Xie Zhiyan's death, which required paying tribute to the noble concubine, and she was asked to mediate, and a lot of dowry was sent in.

But the imperial concubine did not solve the problem at all. She later begged the queen for help and finally helped Xie Huaiyu get the title.

It was also in the past two years that Lu Wan knew the Xie family's family background very clearly.

It wouldn't be a bad idea if they used double the amount of money to pay off the debt, since she couldn't suffer a loss anyway.

Right now, the Xie family has about three hundred thousand taels in cash.

If you pawn some farms, etc., you should be able to collect one million taels, provided that Mrs. Xie is willing to spit it out, and this will be enough for the Xie family.

If that doesn't work, there are still precious classics in private collections.

The Xie family's ancestors were from a distinguished family of scholars and civil servants, and those books were the most important thing.

Duke Guo of Qin was a military commander. In order to make the Qin family look good, he bought many unique and handed down books, so Yu Churong stole them and gave them to Xie Huaiyu, who then gave them to the eldest prince, because these treasured classics were priceless treasures and could not be bought with money.

Anyway, the Xie family is shameless, so it is okay to force them to hand over these classics.

In addition, the money left by the Xie family can be used to buy things to keep out the cold.

The winter disaster is just around the corner.

Xiuyi was helpless and tried to calm down: "Tell me, what can I do?"

"Ask the Xie family to pay me five times the compensation for these things, and I will give up."

Xiuyi opened her mouth in shock: "Five times?"

How dare she think!

Lu Wan had a look of resentment on her face: "Hey, let's get the original items back. I don't want the money. Those were all dowries prepared by my grandfather and my grandmother for my mother. They were all personally selected by my grandmother and also the Qin family. Almost all my belongings are also my thoughts.”

Xiuyi was so angry that she almost lost control. She had no choice but to go back and recover.

Concubine Lu was so angry that her face was livid: "That's too presumptuous, who gave her the courage!"

Xiu Yi frowned: "She is determined to force the Xie Mansion into a corner."

Concubine Lu held the tea cup tightly and wanted to smash it out.
