Chapter 99 Hidden forces

"Boss, what's going on?" a man asked.

"How could I possibly make a mistake if I took action? I poured all the manure we've been accumulating over time onto that woman."

Another man said, "It serves her right! She has to embarrass the young lady again and again. If..." The rest of the words were swallowed back by the intimidation of the masked man in black.

The masked man in black drove them away, "Alright, pack up, those who need to go hunting, go hunting, those who need to go to work, go work, if you can't earn enough to eat, then you will all starve!"

The man muttered, "When will we return to the young lady?"

His answer was a heavy kick from the masked man in black.

In the Bitan Courtyard, Tang Zhao and Gu Ci described in a tactful and gloating manner the tragic situation of Bai Rouyin having feces poured over her head.

"Tell me, who did she offend?"

Gu Ci was silent for a moment, "I don't know."

Tang Zhao didn't believe it, "You care about her so much, don't you know?"

Are you trying to fool a beauty?
Gu Ci: "Since we got married, I haven't taken the initiative to inquire about her news."

Tang Zhao sighed, you are so useless.

In the mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, servants kept carrying hot water into the Jianjia Pavilion.

The wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery advised from outside the tub, "Mom can no longer smell any odor. Be obedient, Rouyin, and stop washing." She looked at her daughter's reddened skin and said, "If you keep washing, your skin will be damaged."

"I want to wash more, I want to wash more, Mom, I still have the smell on my body, no matter how I wash, it won't go away." Bai Rouyin rubbed her shoulders fiercely and cried, "Why can't I wash it away no matter how much I wash?"

The wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery was furious. "Come here, help the young lady out."

Several maids and servants helped Bai Rouyin out of the bathtub, wiped off the water droplets and changed into pajamas.

The wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery sat by the bed, looking at her daughter who was like a demon. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, "Rouyin, tell your mother, who hurt you?"

"Hurt me? Yes, someone hurt me!" Bai Rouyin said excitedly, "Mom, someone hurt me. She got me covered in feces."

The wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery patted her daughter soothingly, "Do you know who it is?"

"It's Tang Zhao, it must be Tang Zhao!" Bai Rouyin said firmly, "She's jealous of my engagement to Brother Yuanye, and she's also jealous of my secret meeting with Brother Yuanye. She's jealous of me!"

"On the day of the Qing'an Temple Dharma Assembly, she said in person that she wanted to take revenge on me. Mother, you were there, and you heard it too," Bai Rouyin repeated over and over again, "It must have been Tang Zhao. I'm going to kill her, I'm going to kill her!"

The wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery was heartbroken. "Okay, Rouyin, don't worry. Mother will go to Prince Xuan's mansion to settle the score with Tang Zhao in a moment!"

Bai Rouyin kept repeating, "Kill her, kill Tang Zhao!"

Lian Qiao brought some tranquilizing medicine, and the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery personally served it to Bai Rouyin, and stayed by her side until she fell asleep.

"Take good care of the young lady."

Lian Qiao quickly agreed.

The wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery glanced at her daughter, who had become haggard after only a short while, and walked out with a frosty face.

Outside the door, Marquis Zhongyong hurriedly asked, "How is Rouyin?"

"Not very well," said the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, "I took a tranquilizer and just went to bed."

"This is outrageous!" The Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery punched the porch pillar. "How dare he insult my daughter like this? I'm going to teach him a lesson!"

The wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery looked at her husband, "Rouyin said it was Tang Zhao who did it."

"Princess Zhaoshan?" asked the Marquis of Zhongyong, "Do you have any concrete evidence?"

The wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery shook her head.

Yang Zhui's situation was much better than Bai Rouyin's, so he finished his bath early and stayed outside the door with Marquis Zhongyong. Upon hearing this, he said, "I'm afraid it's Princess Zhaoshan." He pulled out a wooden plaque from his pocket and said, "This was dropped by the masked man in black."

Marquis Zhongyong took the wooden sign and asked, "Meng Mansion?"

The wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery was startled. "Which Meng Mansion?"

Yang Zhui: "From my son-in-law's perspective, it's most likely Princess Xuan's mother's family."

"Here," the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery looked at her husband, "My Lord, look."

"Whoever dares to harm my daughter will pay the price!" Marquis Zhongyong turned and strode away. "I will ask King Xuan to make the decision!"

The wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery and Yang Zhui hurried to catch up.

Inside Minghui Hall, King Xuan's face was filled with worry. "Tell me, what's going on here?"

Princess Xuan also felt it was difficult to comment and wanted to comfort him but didn't know how to start.

Bai Rouyin must have made a huge grudge against someone by insulting him in such a way.

Nanny Meng came running in, "Your Highness, Princess, the loyal and brave Marquis, his wife, and son-in-law are here."

King Xuan and his wife looked at each other and hurried to the front hall to greet them.

When the loyal and brave Marquis saw King Xuan, he told him the whole story, presented the wooden plaque, and knelt down to beg, "Your Majesty, please make a decision for Rouyin!"

King Xuan pulled the person up and sat him on a chair. He took the wooden sign, took a look at it, and then handed it to the Queen.

Princess Xuan stroked the wooden sign and said, "It belongs to the Meng family."

She looked at the loyal and brave Marquis and his wife, who were suppressing their hatred, and said, "My Lord and Madam, don't worry. If it is really the Meng family who did this, I will punish them severely."

"Madam Meng, go to the Meng Mansion in person and invite Master Meng and Madam Meng to the palace," Princess Xuan said with a cold look in her eyes. "If they don't come, have the palace guards invite them!"

Nanny Meng left immediately.

The Duke of Zhongyong and his wife looked better.

Minghui Hall was silent. Half an hour later, Master Meng and Madam Meng were forced into the palace by the guards.

When Master Meng saw Princess Xuan, he was filled with resentment and said, "Third sister, just because you married a good husband, you look down on your family and me, your eldest brother? You even had the guards force me to come to the palace. Third sister, you still care about the relationship between brother and sister!"

Princess Xuan waved her hand, and the guards released Master Meng and his wife and stood aside.

"Don't be impatient, big brother. If this matter truly has nothing to do with you and your wife, then I will personally come and apologize," Princess Xuan said in a deep voice. "If this matter is related to you and your wife, then don't blame me for being ruthless."

Master Meng glanced at King Xuan, and King Xuan looked back at him in confusion.

Master Meng suppressed his dissatisfaction and asked, "What does this have to do with my Meng family?"

"Today, the daughter of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery was getting married. First, she encountered a killer bee on the streets of Lanzhou, and then someone maliciously doused her with water at the Green Shrimp Shop." Princess Xuan stared into Master Meng's eyes. "Brother, do you know about this?"

"I know. How could I not know about this news that has spread all over Lanzhou?" Master Meng sat on his chair. "But what does this have to do with me?"

"Yes, I did treat it as a joke and laughed over and over again, but sister, go out and ask around, who doesn't treat it as a joke now? Just because I laughed the loudest doesn't mean I did it, right?"

"Perhaps the daughter of the Loyal and Brave Marquis did something shameful behind the scenes, prompting retaliation," Master Meng speculated, "or perhaps the Loyal and Brave Marquis provoked someone outside, or perhaps someone simply dislikes the Loyal and Brave Marquis's mansion."

"There are so many people in Lanzhou City and Dayu City, why do you always put the blame on my Meng family?"

"If you don't give my Meng family an explanation today, my Meng family will not let it go!"

Master Meng: When it comes to fighting, I’ve never been afraid of anyone!
