Chapter 446: I don't know what it means

Not only the two young masters of the Mi family, but also the old master and the mistress of the Mi family could not help but complain at home.

How dare the Zhao family not give the Mi family any face! They even relied on their marriage relationship with the Duke of Liguo's Mansion to drag the Duke of Liguo into the water to put pressure on Shuntian Prefecture.

This is simply unbearable!

Master Mi sneered, "Ministers are just ministers. How can they compare with their masters? What about the Zhao family? What about the Duke of Liguo's Mansion? In front of the Imperial Concubine, they are all ministers! As long as Shuntian Mansion is not an idiot, he should know what to do."

At this time, Zhao Liya was also smiling at Zhou Hansheng and said, "I'm afraid Shuntianfu Yi won't be able to sleep well these few days. It's really hard for him!"

Zhou Hansheng didn't take it seriously and replied with a smile, "That depends on what he's thinking. If he tries to please both sides, he's doomed to fail. If he does his job impartially and stays upright, no one can blame him."

Zhou Hansheng felt a mix of emotions. He glanced at his wife, a pang of heartache. His father-in-law held a first-rank official position, was a respected tutor to the Emperor, and a beloved figure in his court. Who dared disrespect him? Who wouldn't greet him politely? Similarly, who dared disrespect his mother-in-law and her family members whenever they went out?

Unexpectedly, in the eyes of some fools who relied on nepotism and thought they had risen to high positions, Lord Zhao, the Prince's tutor who had made great contributions to the emperor's succession for many years, could be humiliated and questioned at will, and was not as good as Concubine Mi, a woman who only relied on luck to get to the top.

It's true that the eldest prince was her son, but without his father-in-law, the emperor might not have been able to succeed to the throne without any danger. So, what was the eldest prince worth? When the emperor was still the crown prince, he was suppressed and could hardly breathe. But Concubine Mi didn't think much of the eldest prince!

Now, they are taking advantage of this ready-made bargain!

Two good-for-nothings who couldn't even be considered dandies actually dared to run to the Zhao residence in broad daylight and shout and demand "crime" in a threatening manner.

He, who knew all the inside story, felt sorry for his father-in-law. He also felt sorry for his wife. In the eyes of those people, his wife was naturally nothing!

For a moment, Zhou Hansheng even felt murderous intent in his heart.

Those bastards from the Mi family should just be eradicated completely! They don't deserve to be in the capital.

And the imperial concubine

Zhao Liya had no idea that her husband was shedding tears of sympathy for her. Thinking of the Shuntian Prefecture Governor, who was known for his swift and unrelenting tactics and the ultimate master of Tai Chi, she couldn't help but chuckle, "I wonder where the Prefecture Governor will push this time!"

Zhou Hansheng also laughed: "If we don't let him push it this time, neither the Dali Temple nor the Ministry of Justice will take this case. This matter must be resolved in his hands."

This case is actually a very small case. If it happened on an ordinary day, not many people would pay attention to it and it wouldn't even make a splash.

But because one side is the family of the imperial concubine who is in the limelight, and the other side is the Zhao Mansion, it naturally has the characteristics of attracting attention from all parties, and naturally attracted countless heated discussions in private.

The governor of Shuntian Prefecture complained bitterly.

It took a lot of effort just to send someone to the Mi family to get Aunt Xu.

The reason was that the Mi family refused to release the man, firmly stating that their own Concubine Xu was telling the truth. They only needed to convict Hu Ling based on the facts. Concubine Xu was just a woman, so why should they bring her to the government office? How unlucky! Besides, who could afford to tarnish her innocent reputation?

Ruining her reputation would be equivalent to ruining the Mi family's reputation, and ruining the Mi family's reputation would be equivalent to ruining the reputation of the eldest prince and the imperial concubine! And the eldest prince and the imperial concubine are members of the royal family. Wouldn't this be equivalent to ruining the royal family's reputation and the emperor's reputation?

How dare you tarnish the emperor's reputation? Is a mere Shuntian Prefecture government office worthy of this?

Such bold words, uttered openly by the wife of the second young master of the Mi family, shocked everyone! They were stunned and admired!

What kind of logic is this? I'm afraid I'm going to go to heaven.

It turns out that the innocence of a concubine of a young master of the Mi family is actually connected to the emperor's clean reputation!

I admire you.

This news quickly spread throughout the upper class of the capital, and countless people laughed so hard that their stomachs hurt.

Zhao Liya was drinking tea when she heard this report and laughed so hard that she spat out a mouthful of tea.

Mijia is worthy of being Mijia!

Zhao Xiang and Duke Liguo were both speechless. They both decided to remain silent and not comment or pay attention to the matter. It was nothing else but that he was too old to afford to embarrass this person.

Playing against such a person, it's really embarrassing even if you win.

Especially since they both are people with great dignity, they cannot afford to be embarrassed and lose their dignity because of this.

Zhou Hansheng and Zhao Liya are still young, and they have always done things differently from their elders, so it’s okay.

However, since it concerned the royal family, the two of them said nothing and just watched the fun from the sidelines to see what Shuntian Prefecture Yi would do.

The prefect of Shuntian Prefecture was so anxious that he wanted to hang himself. What kind of family is this!

I have to say that the eldest prince is really lucky. If he had a brother with such an in-law family, he would be doomed!

This bizarre argument also reached the ears of the eldest prince. When he heard it, his face turned red and he was embarrassed from his heels to his hair!

He could only pray secretly that such words would never reach his father's ears, otherwise, it would be a disaster.

He didn't even know how his father would look upon his own mother after he found out.

In his heart, the good impression he had of the Mi family, which had gradually improved because of Concubine Mi, disappeared in an instant.

He knew in his heart that from now on, he would probably never have any good feelings towards the people of the Mi family again.

So scary

That family really doesn't deserve it at all!

At that moment, the eldest prince felt relieved. Fortunately, he had been adopted by his mother, the queen. No matter what the Mi family was like, they were not his in-laws. He could treat them impartially.

The Shuntian prefect originally thought that the Zhao family or the Duke of Liguo's mansion would be so angry that they would put pressure on the Mi family. Unexpectedly, neither family made any move. Even the Duke of Liguo's mansion's prince, who was not easy to deal with, and the prince's wife, who had defeated her two aunts, remained silent. Their public statements were, "I believe the Shuntian prefect will handle the case impartially!" and "I will definitely not hinder the Shuntian prefectural government's investigation!"

The Shuntian prefect wailed in his heart: He actually hoped that they would interfere.
