Poor Family Laity

  Chapter 376, change

  After Chu Yao got the news from Shi Fuxin that the Queen Mother had confused the royal blood, he immediately started to investigate, but the matter was related to the Queen Mother after all, and the progress was a bit slow.

  As the end of the year approached, the number of banquets in the palace increased. The Empress Dowager made another move, calling Princess Guan and Guan Xiuyan to the palace to attend various banquets every time, but she never summoned Chu Yao's wife, Shi Fuxin.

  When the female family members saw the Queen Mother like this, they all knew clearly that Shi Fuxin had completely offended the Queen Mother. After the New Year, every family would no longer invite Shi Fuxin to participate in any banquets.

   As a result, Shi Fuxin was completely isolated by the female family circle in the capital.

   Although Shi Fuxin didn't care about this, she was annoyed by this completely passive situation, and went to Chu Yao again: "How is your investigation going?"

  Chu Yao shook his head: "How can it be so fast!"

  Shi Fuxin frowned: "The Queen Mother's friend is a guard who is good at Gu. I heard that there is an old **** who is good at Gu beside the Queen Mother. It shouldn't be difficult to find out if this is a clue?"

  Chu Yao looked over: "The last time your brother got involved in the incident of the little prince's death, Ma Chuan was arrested by the imperial guards for raising Gu in the palace."

   "Later, the queen mother went out of the palace to pray for blessings. Before she left the palace, the queen mother specifically asked the emperor to release Ma Chuan. Since then, Ma Chuan has never appeared in front of people."

  Shi Fuxin: "Is Ma Chuan not at Wei's house?"

  Chu Yao shook his head: "I have already sent people to closely monitor the Wei family, and I haven't found Ma Chuan." After a pause, "Most of the Yanggu comes from the Miaojiang area. I have sent people to investigate, and the time to come and go will not be too short."

  Shi Fuxin has a different opinion: "I don't think Ma Chuan will leave the boundary of the capital, even the Empress Dowager's friend may also be in the capital."

   Speaking of this, Shi Fuxin suddenly looked at Chu Yao: "The Queen Mother has left the palace to pray for three years, do you think her desire to return to the palace is urgent?"

  Chu Yao understood what Shi Fuxin meant, and thought about it seriously: "The queen mother will send letters home to the emperor every month."

  Shi Fuxin: "It's just Yueyue sending a letter home, but there is no strong indication that she wants to go back to the palace, right?"

  Chu Yao narrowed his eyes.

  The empress dowager has not returned to the palace for three years after she left the palace to pray for blessings. It seems that the empress dowager is concerned about the emperor and does not want to have too much trouble with the emperor, but it may not be possible that the empress dowager herself does not want to return to the palace.

   You must know that the Wei family still has great influence in the court, and the queen mother occupies the title of aunt. If the Wei family really wants to use filial piety to force the emperor, the queen mother will definitely return to the palace early.

  But the queen mother stayed in Baoguo Temple for more than three years. If the prince hadn't been injured, she might have stayed longer.

  Thinking about it this way, the queen mother's approach is very intriguing.

   "I will investigate in this direction."

  Chu Yao looked at Shi Fuxin: "You have more experience in handling cases than me."

  Shi Fuxin smiled: "The three cobblers are as good as Zhuge Liang. Discussing with each other can brainstorm."

   In the next period of time, Chu Yao went to investigate the situation of the Queen Mother praying in Baoguo Temple.

  During this period, because of the empress dowager's public praise of Guan Xiuyan, the people in the palace, who had been living peacefully with Shi Fuxin all along, were a little ready to move.

   "The third wife is not well, the second wife sent someone to arrest An Ran."

  When Fuxin was reading Master Xiang's letter, she saw Nurse Leng trotting into the room in a panic.

"What happened?"

  Nurse Leng quickly replied: "An Ran just went to collect the monthly report from our yard for last month. On the way, she ran into the Second Madam and Aunt Guan. I don't know what happened. The Second Madam said that An Ran was disrespectful to Aunt Guan, so she directly sent someone to arrest An Ran, saying that she would send her to the old concubine for punishment."

  Shi Fuxin's eyes sank, she got up and walked to the dressing table, took out an identity token from the bottom box, and took Nurse Leng and others straight to the Rongxin Hall of the old princess.

  As soon as Shi Fuxin entered Rongxin Hall, she saw An Ran being beaten with a board by several big women in the yard.

  At this moment, the area below An Ran's waist had seen bright red blood.

  The mother-in-law who was playing the safe board saw Shi Fuxin coming, looked at them with indifference, and involuntarily stopped her movements.

  The witty servant girl raised her voice and shouted: "The third lady is here!"

  Shi Fuxin said to Nanny Leng, "Go and look at An Ran." After finishing speaking, she strode into the old concubine's room.

  As soon as she entered, she saw Guan Xiuyan standing at the door, as if she wanted to come out to meet her.

  Shi Fuxin passed her directly, and glanced at Tang Shan who was standing behind the old concubine, with her chin raised and looking at her provocatively.

   "Say hello to grandma."

  Shi Fuxin bowed to the old concubine. After the salute, she straightened up without waiting for the old concubine to speak, put the identity token in her hand on the tea table in front of the old concubine, and then looked at the old concubine in silence.

  When the old princess saw the token, her complexion changed. She looked at the expressionless Shi Fuxin, she fell silent for a moment, and waved Tang Shan and Guan Xiuyan to retreat.

  The result was completely different from Tang Shan's expectation. Tang Shan was unwilling to leave: "Grandmother."

"go out!"

  The old concubine interrupted Tang Shan sharply.

  Seeing that the old concubine was angry, Tang Shan didn't dare to say anything, she glared at Shi Fuxin, and then left the room with Guan Xiuyan, who had no expression in her downcast eyes.

  As soon as the two left, Shi Fuxin went straight to the point: "Grandmother, do you know how I got this token?" She said with a smile.

   "You might not even believe it when you tell it. It came from a group of black-clothed killers who wanted to kill me."

   "The killer who wants to kill me actually has the token of the palace, grandma, don't you think this is incredible?"

  The old concubine looked at Shi Fuxin: "What do you want to say?"

  Shi Fuxin didn't answer and asked instead: "Does grandma know when this happened? It happened not long after the emperor appointed me and my husband."

   "At that time, I hadn't married into the palace, and I had nothing to do with the people in the palace. Without any enmity, but they wanted to kill me. Who was the person behind it aimed at?"

   "It can only be aimed at the husband."

   "Before this incident, I also heard a lot of news that the husband and the people in the house were at odds, but I never thought that the disagreement would reach the point of murder."

  Seeing the old concubine's face getting darker and darker, Shi Fuxin continued with a smile: "Grandmother, I haven't told my husband about this, tell me, if he knows, how will he react?"

  Hearing this, the old princess was obviously relieved.

  The three grandsons, no matter how unhappy they had been in the fight before, they had never committed a fatal attack. Once such a thing started, she was really afraid that a brother-in-law fight would happen.

  The old concubine looked at Shi Fuxin coldly: "Tell me, what do you want?"

  Shi Fuxin: "As many punishments as my maid received, those wives who arrested her will also receive such punishments. Moreover, they have to be kicked out of the palace afterwards."

   "Next is the second sister-in-law. She obviously doesn't have the ability to be a housekeeper. Let someone else take care of Wang Fuzhong."

  The old concubine looked at Shi Fuxin fiercely: "You want to be in charge of the palace?"

  Shi Fuxin smiled: "Grandmother, you can just rest assured, I'm not interested in Wangfu Zhongfu."

   This answer did not make the old concubine happy, but instead made her frown. Shi Shi's look of contempt for the palace made her very uncomfortable.

  The old concubine didn't want to agree to Shi Fuxin's request easily, looked at the token on the coffee table, and suddenly said: "This token is indeed from the palace, but it's not like the tokens of the palace have not been lost in these years, and the person who killed you may not be the one"

  Seeing that the old concubine wanted to defend herself, Shi Fuxin interrupted her directly: "Grandmother, just as you don't care about whether my maid has made any mistakes, and punish her as soon as she is escorted; as for me, I don't care who in the palace wants to kill me."

   "The facts are not important, I just want one result today."

   "I have to let the whole palace know that my people can't move at will. If they move, they have to pay the price."

  The old princess smiled angrily: "Are you threatening me?"

  Shi Fuxin shook her head: "No, no, granddaughter-in-law dares not threaten grandma, you are the king's mansion's Dinghaishenzhen, and I am just negotiating with you, grandma."

   "If you don't agree, then I can use other methods to seek justice for my servant girl. It's just that at that time, my husband will have to hear some rumors."

  The old concubine looked deeply at Shi Fuxin for a while, then said to her confidant Nanny Zhuang: "Just deal with it as the third lady just said."

  Nurse Zhuang and the two maidservants left in the room were all shocked.

  Since the concubine gave birth to the third master, the third master's house has never been benefited from the uncle and the second master, but now the third wife has made the second wife lose the power of housekeeper.

   Not only that, but the wives who executed the third lady’s servant girls were all dowry by the second lady, and now they will not only be beaten but also kicked out of the palace.

  Nurse Zhuang glanced secretly at Shi Fuxin, then hurried out to announce the old concubine's order.

  Tang Shan was in disbelief when she heard Zhuang Nanny's words: "I don't believe it, this is not an order from my grandmother. I need to ask my grandmother for clarification."

   Tang Shan, who was in a hurry to find the old concubine for verification, just stepped into the door when she ran into Shi Fuxin who came out of the room.

  The two passed by, Shi Fuxin stood under the eaves expressionlessly, looking at Madam Zhuang: "What are you waiting for, why are you still executing the execution?"

  Nurse Zhuang coughed lightly, and waved to the people in the yard. Immediately, a woman stood up and held down the women who had just hit the board of An Ran.

   "Xiao Fang, you go fight yourself, as much as An Ran is injured, so are they."

"yes."

  In the house, Tang Shan was still pleading for mercy for her companion, when the women's screams rang out in the yard.

   "Grandma~"

  Tang Shan looked at the old concubine in disbelief, she never thought that the old concubine would stand by Shi Fuxin's side.

  The old concubine looked at Tang Shan indifferently: "Brother Yao's daughter-in-law has the same temper as Brother Yao's son, it's okay, what are you doing to provoke her?" Looking at the token on the coffee table, she felt very irritable.

  At this time, Chu Zhao strode into the courtyard: "The third younger brother and sister are so majestic that they punished their sister-in-law's companion in the grandmother's yard. You and the third younger brother are really not a family and do not enter the house, they are all so lawless."

  Shi Fuxin looked at Chu Zhao with a smile: "Second brother, don't wrong me. The order was given by the grandmother. It is a trivial matter to beat a few wives. You should go into the house to comfort the second sister-in-law. Grandma can say it, and she wants to take back her right to run the house."

   Sure enough, upon hearing this, Chu Zhao's complexion changed, and he didn't care about arguing with Shi Fuxin, and walked quickly towards the room.

  When the two passed by, Shi Fuxin said softly: "Second brother, your life was so smooth before, remember the lesson today, and if you want to mess with me again in the future, you may get used to this kind of life."

  Chu Zhao looked at Shi Fuxin gloomyly, snorted, and went into the room to see the old concubine.

   At this time, Xiaofang also finished beating up several women, Shi Fuxin called for Nanny Leng to carry An Ran back to Rong'an Courtyard.

   "Mother Zhuang, don't forget to drive these people out of the palace."

  Shi Fuxin glanced at Nanny Zhuang, and then left Rongxin Hall.

  For a while, apart from those who served the old concubine, only Guan Xiuyan and the servant girl Huier were left in the courtyard.

   "Auntie, let's go too."

  Guan Xiuyan nodded in panic. She really didn't expect that her cousin would win against her second sister-in-law, and she won so quickly.

   Not only Guan Xiuyan was surprised, but Princess Guan was also very surprised when she received the news.

  God knows how aggrieved she feels after losing to Chu Xuan and Chu Zhao many times these years.

   "The Shi family is still somewhat useful."

  Chu Yao also heard about this when he returned home at night, and he was very surprised. When he returned to Rong'an Yuan and saw Shi Fuxin, his face was still a little complicated.

   "I've grown up so much, if there is any conflict with Chu Xuan and Chu Zhao, even if it's not my fault, I will be the one who will be punished and blamed in the end."

  Shi Fuxin looked at him with a smile: "You have me, and things like this won't happen again in the future."

   you have me

  Chu Yao recited these four words silently in his heart, and a power that he had never felt before suddenly surged in his body.

  When Shi Fuxin saw that he was silent, she said to herself: "Tang Shan suddenly troubled me, there is a reason for it." As she spoke, she looked at Chu Yao with a smile.

   "You three brothers are very interesting. The eldest brother is on good terms with the prince, but the second brother is actually close to the fourth prince. You"

  Chu Yao looked at her: "What's wrong with me?"

  Shi Fuxin smiled and said: "You may have taken refuge in a prince." She walked to Chu Yao's side while talking, "Do you have a prince you want to take refuge in?"

  Chu Yao didn't speak, just looked at Shi Fuxin.

  Shi Fuxin saw that he didn't answer, and didn't continue to ask, but said: "If you three brothers are with the prince, it's a bit like betting."

   "I'm curious, is this your own choice, or did the government guide you like this?"

  Chu Yao frowned, let alone, he had never thought of such a thing before.

   "Chu Xuan and the prince are about the same age, and they had a good relationship when they were young."

   "Chu Zhao and the fourth prince got together because they both like training tigers."

  He supports the First Prince because the Hall of Reincarnation supports the system of heir succession, and the three of them all choose their followers by themselves.

   guide

  Chu Yao passed the people in the mansion once, and shook his head. He was influenced by Shiliu again, and he really thought that the people in the mansion might guide them.

   It's so ridiculous!
