Even after it has come to this, the old lady is still blaming the princess for not taking care of household chores?
"I think my mother loves her children and won't argue with me about the medicinal herbs she uses to nourish them."
The old lady is in charge of the household, but these children have been raised to be so skinny. The old lady also said that the princess is extravagant and is withholding her expenses?
Not only did the princess use all the money and property under her control as household expenses, but she also had to rely on her mother-in-law for instructions when buying medicine for her children.
I'm afraid there is someone else who did this.
Seeing is believing. Now many people no longer believe anything the old lady says.
"My daughter-in-law was truly desperate. She could only take the children to the Buddha's throne and chant sutras day and night, praying for their safety and for the victims..."
"Thankfully, the Buddha appeared, and my daughter-in-law was able to find Qi Yu. But although his life was saved, he lost his mind. My daughter-in-law had to bear it alone, rushing back to the city to find a doctor for Qi Yu. How... how could she still have the energy to meet with others in secret?!"
Yuan Zhao refuted the old lady's accusations one by one, but even so, she still maintained her dignity and kept her back straight, making people feel that she had suffered a great injustice but was still holding on.
Many of the people who came to get the porridge had also been to the Big Buddha Temple during this period and had seen Yuan Zhao knocking on the steps to pray for blessings and chanting scriptures every day.
"That's right! I testify that Her Royal Highness the Princess fasts daily at the Great Buddha Temple and chants sutras and prays for blessings in the Buddhist hall!"
"We all saw it. The princess kneels before the Buddha for seven or eight hours every day. Everyone can witness it!"
…
The secret meeting at the Big Buddha Temple was just a gimmick that Bai Ruyue came up with to tell the old lady, and there was no evidence.
"You! You! You!" Yuan Zhao turned the situation around with just a few words. The old lady was helped up by Aunt Cui and walked towards Yuan Zhao. "You are talking nonsense! You are slandering your mother-in-law!"
"You kids are all more useless than each other! My son is the top scholar! He's also the prefect of Yangzhou! I'm telling you! There are so many people who want to have children for my son! I don't need a bunch of you who eat for free!"
The old lady was furious, her words uncontrollable, "Wait until my son comes back... When my son comes back, he will definitely divorce you!"
She even raised her hand, wanting to slap Yuan Zhao.
There was a ruthlessness flash in Yuan Zhao's eyes. She was trembling all over. Just as she was about to fight back, with a "pop", a snowball hit the old lady's raised arm.
"Ah!" The old lady was hit and saw that the snowball was coming from one direction in the crowd.
I just don't know who it is.
Immediately afterwards, one snowball after another came rushing over and all hit the old lady.
The old lady was furious. She pointed at the crowd and shouted, "You! You are all troublemakers! When my son comes back, I will punish you all! I will lock you up in jail and skin you alive!"
The more she spoke, the more public outrage she aroused, and more and more snowballs fell on her.
"You evil mother-in-law!"
"Evil mother-in-law! Evil grandmother!"
"Let's vent the princess's anger!"
"It's a shame for Lord Wei to have a mother like you!"
…
The old lady was hit again and again, and Aunt Cui, who was originally supporting her, had no idea where she had hidden.
She couldn't stand steadily even with her crutches and fell to the ground, still screaming like crazy.
At this time, Yuan Zhizhi thought of the crows in the sky, and an idea suddenly came to her mind and she waved her little hand.
The crows seemed to be suddenly freed from their restraints, swooping down with a "cackle" sound, heading straight for the old lady in the snow pile.
“Ah!” “Ah!!!”
"Save me! Save me!"
"You didn't save me! I'll make you suffer when my son comes back!"
"Yuan Zhao, you vicious woman!"
"You will die a miserable death!"
The old lady felt as if her whole body was being pecked by countless crows' long beaks. Her clothes were pecked to pieces, and then the flesh underneath was pecked.
"Look! Even the crows are here! It seems this old woman has done so many evil things that even God can't stand it anymore!"
"God will punish the wicked!"
Yuan Zhao watched coldly, feeling happy in his heart.
The reason why Bai Ruyue was able to successfully harm her and the children was inseparable from the help of the old lady.
The physical pain the old lady is suffering now is only a fraction of what her children are going through.
She was not afraid of their curses. As long as she could make these people pay the price, it would be worth it even if she, Yuan Zhao, went to the eighteenth level of hell.
After a cup of tea, the crows finally dispersed from the old lady.
The old lady's clothes had been pecked to shreds, her skin and flesh were festered, and no healthy part of her body could be seen.
She fell to the ground, staring at Yuan Zhao with her eyes fixed and vicious.
Yuan Zhao bent down, untied his cloak and covered her with it.
"Mom, you should take good care of your body..."
She spoke softly, and people around her just thought the princess was really kind.
Even though the old woman was so vicious, the princess still took her dignity into consideration at the first moment.
But when the old lady listened, she felt as if she heard the devil whispering in her ear.
Take care of your body?
What does Yuan Zhao mean?
The old lady suddenly recalled the bowls of medicine she had sent to Yuan Zhao in the name of recuperating his health.
She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but found that her throat was pecked and she couldn't make a sound!
I wanted to move, but I felt a piercing pain in my knees and I couldn't move my legs at all!
…
Yuan Zhao ordered people to carry the old lady back to Songyan Hall. Zhao Ping asked the people he brought to clean up the chaos in front of Wei Mansion and maintain order in the porridge distribution.
And take away the troublemakers as well.
Before leaving, Zhao Ping bowed solemnly to Yuan Zhao and whispered to her, "Your Highness, Lord Wei was originally scheduled to return to the city in seven days."
He gave Yuan Zhao a look and he understood.
He was supposed to come back in seven days, but he had to have spies in this city, and Bai Ruyue would definitely pass on the news to him.
There's a good chance of coming back early.
Yuan Zhao nodded and told him, "Just do what you should do."
Zhao Ping understood and stopped asking questions.
Yuan Zhao lowered his head and thought, hoping that Huo Yan's letter could be delivered to his brother as soon as possible.
At this moment, a vicious gaze was fixed on her.
She raised her eyes and looked in a certain direction.
There were two figures, one big and one small, hidden in the darkness. She knew they were Bai Ruyue and Wei Jiaojiao.
Today they witnessed with their own eyes how the old lady was thoroughly dealt with by Yuan Zhao. Now, the Wei Mansion is completely under Yuan Zhao's control.
It is hard to say whether the old lady, who was carried in horizontally, can come out upright again.
Without the old lady's great help, Bai Ruyue felt endless panic in her heart.
She thought everything was under control, but what she saw today revealed that everything had completely collapsed.
Yuan Zhao looked at her, and the tenderness in her eyes was no longer there.
Bai Ruyue only saw her slightly raise the corners of her lips and smile, but there was no smile in her eyes.
This smile seemed to tell her:
Next one is you.
She shuddered.
