She was originally a noble lady from a wealthy family, but who knew that one day her father, the Grand Tutor, would be demoted and exiled to Lingnan. The starting point is a broken-down house with ...
Chapter 445: Changing Face Too Quickly
Zhao Xiang, on the other hand, consoled Hu Ling. He said the Mi family was just looking for an excuse, and that it was inevitable. If it wasn't for this incident, there would be other reasons.
Actually, it was the Zhao family that implicated Hu Ling.
The Second Young Master Mi glared at Hu Ling fiercely and shouted, "Shameless bastard, how dare you come out and embarrass yourself!"
"Second Young Master Mi! This is my Zhao Mansion. Ah Ling is my adopted son, Zhao Xiang. Second Young Master Mi, insulting my adopted son in front of me, Zhao Xiang, in my Zhao Mansion, isn't that a bit too much!"
The Second Young Master Mi snorted disdainfully and said sternly, "Why? Lord Zhao, are you trying to protect someone who has such bad character and morals? Aren't you afraid of ruining your own reputation by protecting someone like this?"
Zhao Liya also came over with a smile: "That's funny! You are the ones who are making trouble, why are we the ones who should be worried about this and that? It's really not your turn to judge my father's character and morals!"
Zhao Liya was accompanied by Zhou Hansheng, and the couple came together.
The two young masters of the Mi family were startled. How did the Duke of Liguo's mansion get disturbed? Why did the Crown Prince Zhou come too?
"My Lord!"
The two young masters of the Mi family quickly stood up and greeted Zhou Hansheng with smiles on their faces.
In front of the Zhao family, the double standards are so obvious.
The Zhao family was speechless. Zhao Liya was also speechless and quickly glanced at Zhou Hansheng with her head tilted.
If she didn't trust Zhou Hansheng enough, she would probably be feeling a little uncomfortable right now. Even though these two playboys didn't seem to have much ability, their subtle provocations were deadly!
Zhou Hansheng: “.”
Zhou Hansheng cursed inwardly, "Are these two crazy? Enough of being so snobbish!"
"Shouldn't you two apologize?"
"What?"
"You two are speaking wildly and arrogantly. What do you think of the Zhao Mansion? How dare you, a commoner, be so rude in front of Lord and Madam Zhao? My father-in-law and mother-in-law are generous and tolerant, but that's no reason for you to act recklessly!"
Zhao Liya sneered, "Don't say that, my lord. Although they are commoners, they are also the family of Concubine Mi. You dare not treat them with the same standards as you would others. Wouldn't that be too unfair to them?"
Zhou Hansheng curled his lips and smiled coldly: "So, the concubine's nephew, a commoner from her family, has higher status and respect than the imperial officials and imperial consorts personally appointed by the emperor. Then I have to tell everyone that when they see the masters and ladies of the Mi family, they must behave properly and respectfully, otherwise if they offend them, what will happen?"
Zhao Xiang looked coldly at the two young masters of the Mi family whose expressions had changed, and felt a little pleased.
He really hated the Mi family more and more.
It was not easy for him to lower his status and get involved with such a person, so he sent someone to go to the Duke of Liguo's Mansion to call his daughter back. Unexpectedly, Prince Zhou also came, which had a good effect.
Widow Qu laughed out loud with joy. Although she controlled her mouth and didn't say anything, her smug and lively expression and her gloating face said it all.
The two young masters of the Mi family looked extremely ugly.
"Prince Zhou, I think you've misunderstood. Our Mi family is the most well-behaved and polite family. Otherwise, we wouldn't have raised a noble lady like Concubine Mi! Isn't this because she was bullied and filled with righteous indignation? She feels aggrieved!"
"That's right. No one has to endure being wronged. Who can't seek justice?"
"The two Young Masters Mi are quite confident," Zhao Liya smiled and said leisurely, "Seeking justice? What a coincidence! We also want justice!"
"What?"
"How dare a lowly concubine in your house wrongfully accuse and slander my brother and ruin his reputation? Don't we deserve justice?"
"you!"
"What do you mean by 'you'? How can you trust the words of a lowly concubine like you? Young Master Mi dared to try to intercept and beat my brother in the street. Ha, do you have any respect for the law? You are so arrogant, does the imperial concubine know?"
"Madam, you're confusing right and wrong! Xu is a woman, and her reputation is more important than anything else. She would never joke about her reputation!"
"Oh, that's hard to say. A lowly concubine who doesn't even care about her dignity, how can she have any reputation?"
"Madam, are you so arrogant and domineering? The Duke of Liguo's Mansion is a family with a deep foundation and a good reputation. Madam, you act so carelessly, aren't you afraid of ruining the reputation of the Duke of Liguo's Mansion?"
Zhou Hansheng was furious. "It's none of your business to have a say in the affairs of the Duke of Liguo's Mansion! What? You dare to sow discord in front of this prince? Who gave you the courage?"
The two young masters of the Mi family were filled with anger, resentment, and jealousy. They were clearly thinking about the Duke of Liguo's Mansion, so how could this Zhou Shizi be so ungrateful? He actually blamed them!
This Miss Zhao has no manners at all and is in no way comparable to the Mi family's daughter. Prince Zhou must have never truly seen the good in Miss Mi, which is why he is so bewitched by someone like Miss Zhao.
The two young masters of the Mi family wanted to shake Zhou Hansheng to make him sober up!
Zhao Liya had Zhou Hansheng's support. Seeing these two people so angry that their facial features were about to be distorted, and deep jealousy inadvertently revealed in their eyes, she instantly understood.
No wonder they only greeted Zhou Hansheng with smiles and courtesy. It seems they're still attracted to this noble son-in-law! They haven't given up yet.
"Did you two hear that?" Zhao Liya had the look of a villain who had triumphed, wantonly stabbing them in the heart. "You two really think you can tell the Duke of Liguo what to do? Ha, you really can't do it! This matter today is not over. Please apologize and make amends! Whether you forgive or not, we will have to see the situation!"
The two young masters of the Mi family: "."
What made them even more jealous was that Crown Prince Zhou actually agreed with his wife: "That's right!"
So who is going to seek justice?
The two young masters of the Mi family naturally refused.
They are certainly not as good as the Duke Li's Mansion or the Zhao Mansion, and they are even commoners.
But, so what?
They are the imperial concubine’s family!
A real royal relative!
Who said that the eldest prince was also born to their imperial concubine?
The two sides were extremely unhappy with each other, so they decided to stop fighting in the end. Zhao Liya simply ordered the housekeeper to report to the Shuntian government office.
Since both parties have their own opinions, let the government make the decision.
The Zhao family reported the matter to the authorities in the name of Hu Ling, but they were accompanied by the stewards of the Zhao Mansion and the Duke of Liguo's Mansion. Although Zhao Xiang, Zhao Liya, Zhou Hansheng and others did not show up, it was no different from having shown up.
At least, the Shuntian prefect would never dare to be biased.
The Mi family was almost going crazy!
