Chapter 4 "Another poisonous plot"

Although the servants took the blame in the end, everyone in the wealthy families in Kyoto was a smart person and knew everything that Mrs. Shangshufu did. Even if they tried their best to hide it, it would be difficult to stop everyone from talking about it.What's more, under the exaggeration of some thoughtful people, the story of the mistress of Shangshu Mansion's harsh treatment of her legitimate daughter spread in Kyoto, and they couldn't suppress it even if they wanted to.

When he went to court the next morning, Yun Mo was walking on the way to court. His colleagues stayed away from him and no one paid attention to him. Several of his friends who usually had similar interests also looked at him with disappointed eyes.

Others were whispering beside him, pointing at him, and looking at him with strange eyes, especially Li Guohui, the Minister of War, and his party, who looked at him with ridicule and ridicule.

This made him feel like something bad was going to happen.When the eunuch shouted like a duck to go to court, the courtiers entered the Jinluan Hall in an orderly manner.In the solemn and majestic Jinluan Hall, the emperor sat high on the dragon chair. After a sound of "Ping Heng", all the ministers stood up and stood on both sides.

The emperor's majestic brows frowned slightly. He had not slept well for several days because of the proliferation of illegal salt in Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, and there were dark circles under his eyes.Today's meeting is to resolve this matter.Although he has a candidate in mind, he wants to send Yun Mo as the chief salt inspector to go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas to deal with illegal salt smuggling.

However, it is still necessary to consult with the ministers before making a decision, so as not to bear the reputation of being arbitrary.As soon as he finished speaking, a group of ministers led by Xingbu Shangshu Li Guohui raised objections.

The reason was that there was a widespread rumor in Kyoto that Yun Mo, the Minister of Household Affairs, did not distinguish between the important and the important, and did not distinguish between right and wrong. He allowed the mistress of the Shangshu Mansion to treat her legitimate daughter harshly and instead favored the daughter of her stepmother, which caused many negative impacts.

There is a distinction between concubines and concubines in this dynasty, and concubines are respected and concubines are inferior to concubines, and among the concubines, the concubine is the most noble among the concubines. What Yunmo did has simply messed up the order of concubines and concubines in this dynasty. Send such a person to It is inappropriate to treat salt problems.

Most of the officials present were the direct children of the family's original wife, and they always looked down upon the step-brothers and concubines. Moreover, the step-brother was not from a high family, but was raised up by a noble concubine.Thinking of his first wife, the woman who was famous in Kyoto and whose beauty and talent were combined in her life, she was the Bai Yueguang in the hearts of many people.

How many people crossed the threshold and wanted to marry her, including some officials in the court.In the end, she married Yun Mo and died early, which made many people sigh secretly and find it difficult to calm down. Moreover, her daughter was not treated well after her death, so they looked at Yun Mo with complicated eyes and contempt. , there is ridicule and disdain.

There were even some people with hot tempers who almost wanted to rush up and beat Yun Mo violently, but were stopped by the people around him.Yun Mo looked ashamed and angry but had no way to defend himself. His hatred for Yun Sujin grew in his heart, and he felt that this daughter was really his nemesis.In the end, the matter of controlling the salt problem fell to Si Wuheng, the Minister of War, and Li Guohui sneered at him again when he went to court.

Yun Mo returned to the upper room with a dark face and an angry look on his face. His heart was filled with frustration. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He had failed to get it, but in the end it fell on his nemesis Li Guohui. This made him angry.He casually grabbed the inkstone and threw it heavily to the ground.

Then he sat down on the stool behind him in a dejected manner, feeling still angry in his heart.The servants waiting outside the gate didn't even dare to express their anger, for fear that the gate would be on fire and the fish in the pond would be affected.

She originally thought that Mrs. Qin suffered a big loss from last night's dinner, and that Mrs. Qin would definitely find a way to regain her position today. But to Yun Sujin's surprise, Mrs. Qin didn't wait to find trouble all day long.The personal maid told Yun Sujin that Qin took her confidants to the east early in the morning and did not return until dark.

Moreover, Qin's face was gloomy when he went there, but when he came back he was smiling and determined to win.

Yun Sujin thought about it, ordered to go down, and took a rest early.

Before dawn the next day, Yun Sujin hadn't gotten up yet, but the courtyard was already brightly lit, bustling with people, and a crowd of people had already stood at the door of her room.She got up and put on her clothes, opened the door with both hands, folded her hands, looked at the people at the foot of the steps with disdain, like a madman.

As soon as she saw Mrs. Qin standing in the middle of the crowd with a man wearing a cassock and holding a Buddhist bead, he knew that she was harboring bad intentions and wanted to harm herself!
Mrs. Qin leaned over and said to Xuantong: "Master, this is the eldest lady of Shangshu Mansion. Please take a closer look. Is our Jin girl still the eldest lady of the mansion?"

Xuantong stared at Yun Sujin with both eyes, then turned sideways and said to Yun Mo and Qin: "The poor monk has looked carefully. She is not the eldest lady in the mansion, but a demon who has taken away the eldest lady's soul.

The eldest lady of Shangshu Mansion is no longer alive. All the troubles in Shangshu Mansion are caused by her. If she is not eliminated, Shangshu Mansion will not only never have peace, but it will also affect your official career! "

A trace of killing intent flashed across Yun Mo's face, while Mrs. Qin looked proud and pretended to be in pain, saying, "Please help us, Taoist Priest, drive this demon away and avenge our eldest lady!"

As she spoke, she took out a handkerchief to wipe the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes. This acting skill was second to none. Yun Sujin was speechless. If he hadn't known about her evil intentions, he would have really thought that she loved her daughter.

Qingqing couldn't see this villain slandering her own lady, with an angry expression on her face. She wanted to rush forward to argue with him, but Yun Sujin reached out and grabbed her, pinching the back of her hand to tell her not to act rashly.After spending this time with Yun Sujin, Qingqing understood her thoughts instantly.

Because she knew that Qin's group was playing tricks and wanted to kill her, and her callous and indifferent father also wanted to die. But this time, Qin's wishful thinking was probably going to come to nothing, and she would let Qin's A good fall.
