Marrying a Powerful Minister and Living as a Widow? The Transmigrated Cannon Fodder Refuses!

Jiang Yuzhu transmigrated into a book, becoming Xie Zhao's early-deceased original wife. The story begins with a bang: the original owner is on her way to commit adultery, a scheme orchestrated...

Chapter 137 Heartache

If the emperor's relatives become too powerful, he will suffer endless troubles.

If you offend the Empress Dowager, you will have to be protected by the Emperor.

In the past, the original owner was very much loved by the Queen Mother and often entered the palace to accompany her. The Jiang family had close contacts with the Queen Mother's faction.

"Take this opportunity to show your loyalty to the Emperor and cut off contact with the Queen Mother."

This move will definitely offend the Queen Mother, but it is also a good opportunity to gain fame for Jiang Fulu and stand on his side.

If you want to maintain your position, you can't be a fence-sitter.

A fence-sitter cannot gain the advantage from either side.

"This world belongs to the emperor, the Xiao family, and has nothing to do with the Xuan family."

Xuan Yao came to Beijing, and the Queen Mother put pressure on the Emperor.

As long as Xiao She is not a puppet, it is impossible for him to make Xuan Yao the queen.

Jiang Yuzhu said a few words, and the maids understood.

Hongli scratched her handkerchief and said naively, "It seems that the emperor wants to give the credit for redressing the Su family to me, but he doesn't want to give it to others."

No wonder the emperor sent the three young ladies of the Su family to the Xie Mansion. He had this plan from the very beginning.

Hongli finally figured out the key.

Jiang Yuzhu pinched Hongli's face and said, "You are such a sincere girl. You always tell the truth!"

That’s right, Jiang Yuzhu stole the credit from Xie Zhao.

Everyone is equal in the face of opportunities, but Xie Zhao happened to go out for an urgent matter. How can you blame her?

"Don't bother the master recently. He has been poisoned."

Xie Zhao urgently needed to be detoxified. Jiang Yuzhu was trying to help her husband and didn't want Xie Zhao to work too hard.

If things deviate from what is described in the book and Xie Zhao dies, before that, the Jiang family must firmly rely on the emperor and find the biggest backer first.

Jiang Yuzhu's move was also a precautionary measure.

Hongli quickly accepted it, nodding like a chick pecking at rice and saying, "Madam, you worry too much!"

There are so many trivial matters in the Xie Mansion. Recently, everyone has been busy arranging Shen Zhilan's marriage, and Jiang Yuzhu has contributed a lot.

As Jiang Yuzhu left the house, Han Zhen's servant brought her a note with a message.

"The news from the palace is that the Emperor was going to visit the Jiang residence but was stopped at some point, so Princess Yutan went first."

Hong Jin threw the note into the oil lampshade and watched it burn to ashes.

Jiang Yuzhu closed her eyes and said calmly, "Let's go back quickly. This is a serious matter. It's a good opportunity to discuss it with Dad."

Regarding rehabilitating the Su family, it is just Jiang Yuzhu's personal opinion.

The older you get, the more experienced you are, so the final decision was left to Dad Jiang Fulu.

At this time, in the Queen Mother's bedroom.

Xuan Yao was standing behind the Queen Mother, helping her to relax her muscles and bones, and occasionally saying a few funny words.

The Queen Mother squinted her eyes and enjoyed it for a long while before asking, "Do you have something to ask me?"

"Nothing can be hidden from you, old man!"

Xuan Yao was taught that she should show intimacy to the Queen Mother and should not hide even the slightest thought.

Xuan Yao winked at the maid, and the trusted maid mentioned the conflict that occurred during the Hundred Flowers Festival: "The young lady sent someone to inquire, and those two maids are Shuxiang and Moyun, who are by the side of the eldest daughter of the Wei Prime Minister."

The Queen Mother's expression turned colder: "Yao'er, were you slapped?"

Xuan Yao hesitated and said, "Yes, but...she didn't take advantage of me."

Being beaten right after arriving in Beijing brought shame to the Xuan family.

However, that group of people were wearing masks, and there were so many people last night that finding them was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Xuan Yao met a couple with dog-head masks performing fire-swallowing acrobatics and wanted to capture them to entertain the Queen Mother. However, her men were stupid and ended up capturing Mo Qianyu and Shen Zhilan, causing a big mess.

"Wei Jing has been replaced by a girl from the Lin family as the Queen of Flowers. She's here to take revenge on me and slap me in the face!"

The empress dowager was furious that her family was bullied. She stood up and smashed a vase, but that was not enough. She also swept all the teacups on the table to the ground.

In an instant, the porcelain shattered into pieces and the hot tea splashed.

Xuan Yao hid the viciousness in her eyes and knelt down, saying, "Queen Dowager, I was wrong!"

"stand up."

The Queen Mother always felt that there was something strange about this. The Wei family acted cautiously, so how dare they contradict her like this?

Thinking of what Xuan Yao said, that group of people were wearing masks, and the other party accidentally blurted out the maid's name, the empress dowager followed the clues and thought she had found the right person.

"Yao'er, the selection is coming soon. You should stay in the palace for the time being to avoid causing trouble."

The Queen Mother rubbed her brows and sent Xuan Yao away.

The Queen Mother was furious, and the palace maids quietly cleaned up the mess.

Beatrice stepped forward and rubbed the Queen Mother's legs.

A few days ago, the palace maid Bicui received a task assigned by her master, which was to find a way to persuade the Queen Mother to grant Wei Jing a marriage and arrange for her to marry Feng Qing, the new number one scholar.

Originally, Bitui was a little embarrassed, but who knew that Xuan Yao helped her so much!

"Empress Dowager, Miss Wei has caused quite a bit of trouble in the past six months or so."

Wei Jing was given a marriage with Jia Xinglin, but Jia Xinglin died.

Right now, Wei Jing is a hot potato.

"You intend to marry Miss Wei to General Mo, and even General Mo is trying to avoid it. The wedding is scheduled for the tenth day of the seventh month."

The Mo family has a clear attitude and would rather disobey the imperial order than marry Wei Jing.

Moreover, before the Chinese Valentine's Day, news came out that Wei Jing had lost her reputation. It was most likely that the Mo family was secretly behind this.

There was deathly silence in the bedroom.

The Queen Mother said nothing. Bitui's heart skipped a beat and she was thinking of how to make amends.

The Empress Dowager was not easy to fool, so Bitui worked for her, walking cautiously as if on thin ice, and it took her a lot of effort to become the Empress Dowager's confidant.

Once exposed, don't expect the Queen Mother to take their old feelings into consideration, because Bicui will surely die.

After a long time, just when Bicui thought the Queen Mother had fallen asleep, a low voice came: "Bicui, who do you think is the right family for Wei Jing to marry into?"

Wei Jing's reputation was as bad as a stinking ditch, and the Queen Mother was in a difficult position.
