Splendid concubine

Chapter 135
Liu Ruyi never dreamed that before she could deal with the Zhao family, the Liu family would have a grudge because Mrs. Liu was overthrown by the head of the Zhao family.

Mrs. Zhao, who was caught in the middle, was also having a hard time. She came out of the yard that closed her and knelt at the gate of the old lady's yard to atone for her sins.

I don't know if it was intentional or not, at this time the eldest lady didn't care about her face any more, and kept kneeling at the main entrance where people came and went.

It's a pity that the old lady who finally woke up didn't want to look at her at all.

Originally, the old lady was very annoyed by the several incidents in the Zhao family before. The old man Zhao of the Zhao family was long gone, and the Zhao family was also declining day by day. It could have been regarded as a first-class family in the capital, but now gradually, Even the second-rate can't be kept, and the future generations are not promising. The old lady has long wanted to draw a line with the Zhao family.

If you can marry a stepwife, it will be helpful to the Liu family, otherwise, you don't know if you can keep the Liu family in the future.

Seeing the old lady's attitude towards the eldest lady, Liu Ruyi knew that the old lady probably didn't want to reconcile with the Zhao family.

Although the emperor favored Liu Ruyi, this was after all a matter between the two great families in the capital, and it was not easy to intervene.

After Zhao's family members returned home, they also sobered up from the wine, and they were afraid when they found out.

He knew that since his father's death, the Zhao family had failed, and his qualifications were mediocre, and he could be regarded as incapable of writing or martial arts, so he was messing around, thinking that he could gain some benefits by being shameless.

Knowing the situation of the Zhao family, Mrs. Zhao also sighed.

If the old man is still alive, how can the Zhao family be like this, let alone the grandson is Princess Shang, it must be the princess rushing to marry him.

With a sigh, Mrs. Zhao's appointment went to the event.

In today's capital, where is the Liu family of a first-rank official able to make peace with just one person?

Today, there are still two Duke's mansions standing, namely, the Duke's Mansion of Mo, where the Empress Dowager and Empress came out, and the Duke's Mansion of Cheng, the ancestral home of the third prince.

What Mrs. Liu said, is also a super-grade order. If the apology is more sincere, or invite a nobleman into the palace, or just invite the old ladies of the Duke's Mansion, you can still have some face.

Princess Dingguo of the Duke of Mo's Mansion has always had a bad relationship with Liu Ruyi of the Liu Mansion. Mrs. Zhao thought about it and ruled out the Duke of Mo's mansion.

In terms of identity, there is also the government of Chengguo.However, Duke Cheng's mansion has never had any contacts.

In order not to be bullied by the furious Liu Mansion, Mrs. Zhao could only bite the bullet, called a carriage, and went to Duke Cheng's Mansion.

Vaguely anxious, when Mr. Zhao was still there, in order to find a noble master for the third prince born to the daughter of Concubine Xian, Cheng Guogong's mansion often sent Mrs. Cheng Guogong to come to ask for help.

What did you do at that time?

It was perfunctory to see him only once or twice after coming ten times. Later, Mr. Zhao became terminally ill, so the matter was let go.

When Mrs. Zhao thought of this, she regretted it for a while. If she had a better attitude towards Duke Cheng's mansion at the beginning, even if her father only taught the third prince for a day or two, it would be considered a teacher-student friendship. After that, I will also take care of myself.

It's all, short-sighted, this is the first time Mrs. Zhao thinks of herself this way.

When the old man was alive, he always disliked the old man's pedantry and didn't know how to use his fame to gain some benefits for himself. Now that the old man is gone, life is going from bad to worse, so he feels that it is better when the old man is around.

Thinking wildly, Mrs. Zhao was also restless in the carriage. At this moment, she heard the driver outside knocking on the side wall of the carriage, and reported: "Madam, there is someone blocking the way ahead."

"Go, go, don't bother me, whoever is in the way, call me." Mrs. Zhao was feeling agitated in her heart, and there was no good voice.

The coachman was about to report that the carriage frame of the princess was blocking the road in front, but he was scolded by the old lady. After touching his nose, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go over. Looking at the front of the princess carriage, the few standing there seemed to be experts. The guard, the coachman said obediently: "My lords, our old lady is in a hurry, and the only way to go to Duke Cheng's mansion is this way. How about you guys take a look and see if it's convenient?"

Just now the old lady spoke in a loud voice, which was heard by Mu Zitan in the carriage.

Ever since I saw so many corpses in the Zhao Manor last time, and heard Liu Ruyi analyze that Mrs. Zhao was the one who started this matter, Mu Zitan had an impression of the Zhao family, especially Mrs. Zhao and Mr. Zhao. Very bad.

She heard that Mrs. Zhao was going this way, so she specially asked people to turn the carriage around, and came here to find fault.

The concubine mother is right, she is a princess, so she should live recklessly, not to mention that she is killing harm for the people, Mu Zitan thought with a little complacency.

Her nature is not bad, but she can't get used to hurting people, and when she thinks that those women who were killed were all cute little girls like Linglong, she gets even more angry.

"Mrs. Zhao is so majestic. I wanted to respect you as an old lady. I thought I was familiar with you. I stopped the carriage to say hello. I didn't expect that the old lady wanted to beat me. I was so scared." Mu Zitan said slowly. Stepping forward, with the help of the servant girl, she stepped out of the carriage.

The luxurious carriage that was watching the princess stopped here for a long time, and many people gathered around, waiting to see the princess. When they saw the princess got off the carriage, they were even more excited, and they all greeted the princess who was so beautiful. .

"The princess is really a person who came down from the sky."

"That's not it, how could it be a princess?"

"I heard that this princess has a good temper."

"Let's see, what kind of old lady would beat someone if she disagreed with her. Fortunately, she met the princess. Otherwise, others would have been beaten badly? Oh, my mother, I'm afraid just thinking about it."

The people around were talking about it, and Mu Zitan didn't stop them. These people were all boasting about themselves. I learned from Liu Ruyi, so I should make good use of these public opinions.

"Old madam, I don't think I'm being rude. Going to Zhao's mansion as a guest is also very respectful to old madam. I don't know why old madam wants to beat me? If I didn't meet me today, but just a random commoner blocking the way , did you just get beaten up by Mrs. Zhao and still have nowhere to ask?" Mu Zitan walked slowly towards Mrs. Zhao's carriage.

Mrs. Zhao was sweating anxiously, and she just said casually that it is common for those in the rich and powerful to have bad tempers. How could I expect to encounter a nail today?

Thinking of this, when she opened the curtain of the car, Mrs. Zhao forced a smile on her face, which distorted the expression on her face, "It's red sandalwood, I didn't know it before, it's not..."

"Old madam, just now Zitan wanted to say hello to you, respect you, you directly called someone to beat Zitan, now, Zitan is afraid of being beaten, so she can only act like a princess, please make amends, old lady, don't run away from Zitan's problem , Zitan wants to know now, if there is a commoner in front of the carriage, will he be beaten?"

Mu Zitan is also quite eloquent. She was in the carriage just now, but a maid sent by her concubine taught her these words well. After she practiced, she came out of the carriage. Destroying the reputation of the old lady among the people, the Zhao family has a very good reputation among the people and students because of Mr. Zhao, and the Zhao family relies on this. Last time, when Liu Ruyi told her to deal with the Zhao family, she analyzed everything .

"Well, why did Zitan say that? I'm not in a bad mood. I didn't pay attention all of a sudden. If I knew it was Zitan..." Mrs. Zhao had already got out of the carriage, and out of reserve, she kept standing in front of her carriage without moving. , Hearing this, squeezed out a little sneer.

If he had just found out that Mu Zitan was in front, he wouldn't have said that if he killed her.

"Old lady, Zitan is still the same problem. If it is a commoner, is the old lady like what Zitan saw in Zhao's mansion, if she disagreed with her, she would be beaten to death. Do you want your daughter-in-law to take the blame?" Mu Zitan's voice suddenly lost its gentleness, and asked sharply.

The onlookers were in an uproar. They had heard about the Zhao family a few days ago. They thought that the Zhao family was just ignorant and mistakenly married a daughter-in-law named Ji Xiaogui, which ruined the Zhao family's reputation.

You know, Mr. Zhao is the most talented man in the world, the role model of all Confucian scholars, and the most upright official. I heard that when Mr. Zhao was alive, the middle clothes under his official uniforms were all patched and patched.

Mrs. Zhao was in a cold sweat, she didn't expect Mu Zitan to say it in the street, her hands were tightly clenched, and she was about to tremble with anger.

"When the bones were dug out that day, I was watching from the side. The old lady was sweating profusely at that time, trying her best to wink at Mrs. Zhao. Later, as expected, it was Mrs. Zhao who took the blame. Old lady, ask yourself, you Are you worthy of Mr. Zhao's teachings? I heard that a saint can divorce a wife on behalf of others. There is no such precedent in this dynasty. I think the evidence is convincing. It is time for me to go to the father with the evidence and let the father divorce for Mr. Zhao. Wife, so as not to tarnish the name of Mrs. Zhao as the emperor." Mu Zitan was aggressive, step by step, slowly walking towards Mrs. Zhao.

Mrs. Zhao wanted to speak a few times, but was interrupted by Mu Zitan. She opened and closed her mouth, but she never defended herself. She was a little guilty when she heard the evidence.

In fact, there is no evidence. After Mrs. Zhao Ji Xiaogui took the blame, the Zhao family disregarded the relationship, and Ji Xiaogui took it upon herself. There was no definite evidence to prove that Mrs. Zhao was the culprit.

However, people who have committed crimes are always guilty. Seeing Mrs. Zhao desperately trying to leave evidence for herself, Mu Zitan suddenly smiled, "Pity those girls who are about my age and have the same flowers. My son, I lost my life at your hands, Mrs. Zhao, what you have done is really chilling. Zitan dare not stand in front of you. Knowing that you have a kind face on the surface, but behind you is a murderous ghost, Zitan scares you. I was in panic all day long, I haven't slept well for a long time, now I'm going to ask my father for more guards, and let those commoners who sell their daughters know that they must never send people into Zhao's mansion, and they will be gone at some point After speaking, Mu Zitan turned around and returned to his carriage, and drove away.
