Chapter 125 Deserve to Die
Zhao Wanyue picked up the remaining basin of water from the firefighting, aimed it at Madam Wang, and poured it all over her face, scolding her bitterly:
"Wake up, your son has done so many strange things, isn't it because he has committed so many sins, causing the hatred of both humans and gods? Tai and his lackeys deserve to die. If you don't repent, I'm afraid you won't even be able to save the Wang family." Madam
Wang was chilled to the bone by the water, and her mother-in-law covered her ears and kept crying in pain. Without a backbone, she was completely at a loss.
Seeing her in a daze, Zhao Wanyue kindly reminded her: "Although the coffin is destroyed, there are at least the remains of your son's body inside. Do you need me to borrow a broom to clean it up?"
Mrs. Wang nodded repeatedly. She wanted to keep the only remains of her son.
Although Mrs. Wang couldn't hear what they said, she saw her daughter-in-law picking up the ashes on the ground regardless of the burning hands, so she joined in.
Wang Chunming was no longer a thing, but she had raised him with her heart, but now there was only a handful of ashes left.
"Madam Zhao is so generous. Not only did she not blame them when they came to her house to cause trouble, she also lent them tools to collect the remains."
"Who says I'm not? I think Madam Zhao is right. The Wang family must have suffered such a disaster because they were too lenient with their children and grandchildren, and now they are being punished by God."
"You may not know, but the Wang family has a separate courtyard in Meihua Lane, which is used to raise girls who were abused by Wang Chunming, hoping that they can give birth to children for the Wang family. Unfortunately, Wang Chunming had a chronic illness and could not have children. Those girls were either tortured to death or sold to brothels. They were so pitiful."
Seeing that the focus of the lively discussion among the people was all on the confidential matters of the Wang family, they forgot about the Duke of Zhenguo.
Zhao Wanyue was happy to be quiet, so she asked someone to close the door and told the servants: "Wash the door thoroughly later, it's unlucky!"
Su Xiaoxiao giggled: [Mother is not magnanimous at all, she just doesn't want to dirty her own family's hands. ]
Zhao Wanyue pulled the corner of her mouth, this little cunning, how come she knows everything.
There was a lot of commotion today, Zhao Wanyue guessed that the Wang family would not let it go, so she sent out secret guards to carefully investigate the Wang family's background. Xiaoxiao inadvertently said that Xiaohong killed Wang Chunming because he and his lackeys committed too many murders.
With these evidences, even if the incident went to the emperor, Zhao Wanyue would not be afraid.
As soon as she gave the order, her mother, Xu, came with her second son, Zhao Hongjing.
Xu's face was full of worry: "Wanyue, I heard that the Wang family came to cause trouble. Did they hurt you?"
Zhao Wanyue said calmly: "We are fine. There was a little friction at first, and then a thunderbolt struck Wang Chunming's coffin, and the coffin caught fire, so the Wang family could no longer care about it."
Xu sighed: "It's good that nothing happened. It turns out that being struck by thunder is real. The Wang family is really no good. Your father asked me to tell you that he has already impeached the Wang family in a letter, and they are not allowed to harass you again."
While the mother and daughter were talking, someone came to report that Madam Qi had arrived.
Zhao Wanyue hurried out to greet them: "Aunt, why are you here?"
Qi said with a smile: "I heard that someone came to cause trouble today, so my father asked me to bring a team of personal soldiers here. My father said that if someone wants to cause trouble, they should be beaten first. Your uncle has already sent people to investigate the Wang family. With the evidence of the Wang family's crimes, they can't do anything."
Zhao Wanyue was very moved. Now with the support of her mother and her grandparents, she felt more confident.
She said apologetically: "It's just a small matter, how could you all be alarmed!"
Madam Qi said sternly: "This is not a small matter. They have come to bully us, and I was worried that you would suffer a loss, so I hurried over, but I didn't expect it was too late. Speaking
of which, Lingxi is a bit unlucky to have met such an inhuman thing. But don't get angry, I will pay attention to her marriage."
These words were just heard by the elders who came to pay their respects . Su Lingxi heard this, and she walked in gracefully and said, "Lingxi thanks your aunt for her concern, but my granddaughter has promised the eldest princess to be a female official in her place, so the matter of marriage is not something we can consider for the time being."
Madam Qi and Mrs. Xu were both stunned. There were not many female officials in the Dashuo Dynasty, and most of them served the empress dowager and the empress. Although there was no explicit rule that female officials were not allowed to get married, most of them served their masters all their lives, which meant they would never marry.
Before Qi could say anything, Xu's eyes were already red: "My dear, there is nothing in this world that cannot be overcome. Why do you want to be a female official? It must be so hard. You can't even see your family whenever you want. You will become an old maid before you know it. You don't really want to stay single for the rest of your life, do you?"
Su Lingxi didn't know how to tell her grandmother, but Zhao Wanyue helped her out: "Mother, Lingxi has been diligent and smart since she was a child. Even the queen mother has praised her. Since she has such a responsibility, I, as a mother, fully support her.
Besides, she works for the eldest princess, there are not so many rules, and she can see her anytime she wants. What's more, now that the Wang family has made a fuss, It is difficult for Lingxi to meet the right person, so it is better to let her do what she likes. "
Xu was still worried: "Even so, she is still a child, is this really appropriate?"
Suddenly, a clear and cheerful voice sounded: "Our Lingxi is talented and intelligent. If she were a man, it would not be impossible for her to be a marquis or a prime minister. A mere female official would not be a problem for her.
As for the future, if Lingxi meets someone she likes, I will naturally let her go and let her marry in a grand manner. But now, I am in a heavy body and I need Lingxi's help with many things. You have to bear the pain and lend her to me!"
The one who spoke was naturally the eldest princess. She was now pregnant and her figure was much more voluptuous. She spoke while holding her belly.
Zhao Wanyue bowed to everyone and then let her take the main seat.
She scolded, "The princess is in poor health. If there is anything, just let the servants run it. Why did you come here in person?"
"My people have been wronged, so of course I have to comfort them in person. Why, the Wang family is making trouble? Do they want to put the blame on Lingxi? They are rebelling. Lingxi suffered injustice after leaving my princess mansion. I'm going to the Wang family now to ask them what they want!"
The princess was about to go out, but Zhao Wanyue stopped her and said, "How can you say that everything is true? If you go there so eagerly, will the Wang family be convinced? Be careful that they will accuse you of bullying others by taking advantage of their power?" hat."
The princess was still worried: "Now that Su Bowen is not here, I can't just watch you and the children suffer, I will go and give the Wang family a warning."
Zhao Wanyue hurriedly advised: "Princess, please be patient. The Wang family is here. Besides, my father and grandfather have already made a plan. The Wang family can't do anything to me. But you, take care of your stomach, why are you so anxious!"
