At this time, Fu Wenzheng also received the news.
At first, when she heard that Shi Qingluo was not stripped naked and thrown into the street, but instead persuaded those thugs to report to the Kyoto prefect, she just felt angry and ridiculous.
But he didn't take it to heart. If it didn't work, he would let the maid take the blame and get the person out after the storm died down.
Then when she heard Shi Qingluo and Xi Rong had entered the palace, she felt a little confused.
But I don't think the emperor would punish his daughter-in-law for the sake of a village woman. That would be a disgrace to the royal family.
However, he still called the maid who had bribed the ruffian over, and used the ruffian's family and the person he loved to coerce and bribe him.
If the emperor really asked about it, she would throw the maid out to take the blame.
Anyway, it’s better that she doesn’t know about this matter, and the emperor probably won’t really investigate it further.
When the people of the Fu family knew about this, they didn't take it seriously.
The emperor is very concerned about his reputation and would not punish his daughter-in-law for this matter.
At that time, Shi Qingluo thought too highly of herself and even wanted to run to the palace to complain.
Although their daughter had gone a bit too far in this matter, Shi Qingluo was making a big deal out of nothing. This kind of thing had never happened.
However, since the hatred has already been formed, they can't just stand there and watch. They have to suppress Xiao Hanzheng and not give the other party a chance to come to the fore.
The third prince also knew about this, and felt disappointed with Fu Wenzheng again.
Shi Qingluo didn't provoke her at that time, so why did he go to the extent of stripping her naked and throwing her on the street?
His eyes were filled with gloom. Was it because of his second brother again? The Xi family.
Today is a day off, so Xi Xinheng and others played mahjong with the old man.
Recently, the old man played mahjong with other old men and lost a lot of money.
So today I asked my sons to torture me.
Soon someone came to report what happened to Shi Qingluo.
Xi Rui originally stood next to the old man, watching the fun and offering various suggestions.
After hearing what the reporter said, his face was filled with anger.
"Fu Wenzheng really thinks she is a piece of cake. She actually bullies Qing Luo."
He even dared to burn the hair of his favorite princess, so naturally he would not be afraid of the third prince's wife.
Even if he didn't want to give face to the Third Prince, he could just ignore him.
Who made him have such a doting aunt, the Queen Mother?
He stood up and said, "I want to go to the palace to see my aunt."
As a man, it would be difficult for him to go directly to cause trouble for Fu Wenzheng.
But she can go to the palace to file a complaint and ask her aunt to punish Fu Wenzheng.
When Xi Xinheng saw his son about to rush out, his face darkened, "Stop."
"Did you call Fu Wenzheng too? She's the Third Prince's Consort."
Xi Rui was disdainful, "I just shouted, so what?"
Xi Xinheng: “…” My hands are itching.
He said helplessly: "You can yell at me at home, but don't be so disrespectful outside, or you'll give people a handle on you."
He was also extremely disgusted with the Third Prince's wife's behavior.
"It seems that you also think she is going too far."
Xi Rui added: "Then you still don't allow me to enter the palace."
Xi Xinheng raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, "It's not that you are not allowed to enter the palace, but now is not the right time."
"Since Shi Qingluo chose to report to the Kyoto prefect, he should have a backup plan. Let's wait and see."
Xi Rui then sat back down, "That's right, Qing Luo is so smart, and she's not a mean person, she definitely won't just let it go like this."
Xi Xinheng: "..." Are you praising your friend or insulting him? He raised his eyebrows, "You are so narrow-minded, why are you hanging out with others?"
Xi Rui smiled proudly and said, "I'm not narrow-minded! We are narrow-minded when it comes to judging people, right? Of course, we are broad-minded towards our friends."
Then he thought for a moment and stood up again, "No, I still have to go to the palace."
Xi Rui said with a stiff neck: "My friend is being bullied, shouldn't I go and help?"
Xi Xinheng had a headache. "I didn't ask you not to help, but I asked you to wait and see later."
Xi Rui curled his lips, "Come on, you just want to see what Qing Luo is going to do, so as to determine how much our family is worth paying."
"I don't want to calculate these things. I just know that she is my friend. If she is bullied, then she is bullying me."
He hummed, "So I'm going to stick up for her, it's that simple."
Xi Xinheng was stunned by what his son said, and also felt a little embarrassed that his thoughts were exposed by his son.
It is true that after years of intrigue in the court, one cannot help but think more about everything, and the first thing one unconsciously thinks about is the gains and losses.
At this time, Mr. Xi said, "Go ahead, but don't make your aunt angry."
Xi Rui chuckled, "Grandfather is still the best. How could I possibly make my aunt angry? I can't wait to make her happy."
"Let's go!" After saying that, he slipped away.
Mr. Xi looked at his eldest son, who had a complicated expression on his face, and said, "This child has a pure heart, so let him keep it."
"It's just simply standing up for a friend, that's good!"
He added meaningfully, "There is a difference between helping someone in need and adding icing on the cake."
Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo are just friends of my grandson, so there is no need to use the same tactics they use in the court.
Xi Xinheng thought about it and laughed, "Dad is right, I was thinking wrong."
If you think about it carefully, it’s a good idea for my younger son to be like this.
Liang family.
Liang Youxiao was also playing mahjong with the old man.
The old man has been addicted to drugs lately. If he doesn’t go out to play, he will ask his son and grandson to accompany him.
I heard someone report this.
Liang Youxiao finished playing the card in his hand, "Grandfather, I have something else to do outside."
Liang Mingcheng didn't play, he didn't like this.
But he came here on purpose to accompany the old man, sitting aside drinking tea and watching.
He frowned and looked at his son, "What do you want?"
Liang Youxiao replied bluntly: "Of course I'm going to find a place to fight."
"The Third Prince's wife thinks too highly of herself." It must be said that he and Xi Rui were good friends because they often had the same ideas.
Liang Mingcheng's face darkened instantly, "How can you say that? Where is your dignity?"
Although the Third Prince's wife's actions were indeed despicable, his son was too bold.
Liang Youxiao curled his lips, "I'm just talking at home, what are you afraid of?"
"Dad, you are becoming more and more timid now."
Liang Mingcheng: “…” Want to beat someone up.
He asked with a dark face: "What can you do? Are you stupid enough to go to the Third Prince's Mansion to cause trouble?"
Liang Youxiao raised his eyebrows, "I'm really not that stupid."
"But since she is so vicious and calculated to bully my friend, I will also be disgusted in return."
"I will make all the shops under her name run into trouble, and then let her reputation in the capital city be ruined first."
Any single thing Fu Wenzheng had done could serve as evidence against her.
In the past, it was only because of the favor of the Fu family father and son and the third prince that no one deliberately made trouble for him.
But he was not afraid of the Fu family and the third prince. That woman wanted to ruin Qing Luo's reputation, so he might as well strike first.
Liang Mingcheng pointed at him and said, "You bastard, look at what you can do."
"No matter what, the Third Prince's wife is still the daughter-in-law of the royal family. If you go and ruin her reputation, isn't that the same as ruining the reputation of the royal family?"
