Chapter 131: Feeling Unfair
All those involved in the missing persons case were sentenced to death. Yin Jiuniang committed suicide, and none of the ruffians who worked for Yin Jiuniang were spared.
As for Chen Hechuan, he was the former governor of Xiangyang, so the decision was left to Emperor Jing of Wei.
Emperor Jing of Wei directly sentenced him to be beheaded in public, and Jian Suining personally supervised the execution.
Only after the dust settled did Jian Suining return to the capital.
Old Madam Li Baili's birthday finally arrived.
The palace had prepared for a month in advance and the ceremony was very grand, inviting the wives of many important officials in the court to attend.
Even in Beiyuan, Su Chenyu was woken up by the noisy noise outside early in the morning. Baili Yanqing saw that she was awake and asked, "Want to sleep a little longer?"
Su Chenyu shook her head: "Forget it, if we go too late, who knows what the old lady will do to us!"
The old lady specially sent someone to inform us last night that everyone should go to Fu Shou Tang for breakfast today.
Su Chenyu and Baili Yanqing arrived at Fushoutang on time. After everyone was seated, Su Chenyu discovered that Aunt Rong was also at the table.
According to the rules, the aunt is not allowed to sit at the table.
However, Baili Qiuhong has now entered the Hanlin Academy and has become a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, which is a fourth-rank official position, even lower than Baili Ting. Rong's status has naturally risen, and she was not allowed to show up at such banquets in the past.
Aunt Feng looked at Aunt Rong sitting on the chair, her face was calm, but the jealousy in her heart was already burning. As an aunt, it was a great honor to be able to serve at a banquet on such a day.
In the past, she bullied Rong Niang a lot because she used to be Yao's personal maid. But now, this person sat at the banquet and suppressed her.
With too much on her mind, she wasn't serving properly anymore, and Aunt Feng accidentally knocked over the bowl of soup.
The hot soup splashed onto the back of Aunt Rong's hand, turning it red instantly.
"Rongxin, you're okay, right? I was just careless." Aunt Feng looked concerned.
Aunt Rong didn't say anything, just said: "I'll go change my clothes first."
After saying that, Aunt Rong went to the next cubicle to change clothes and apply medicine on her wounds.
The old lady was naturally unhappy about this happening so early in the morning. She glared at Aunt Feng and said, "Aunt Feng, if you can't even take care of these little girls well in the future, don't leave the yard."
Hearing this, Aunt Feng turned pale: "Old Madam..."
After she finished speaking, the old lady looked at Yao again and said, "My dear, this concubine Feng is someone you trained, and she got into trouble so early in the morning. What do you think we should do?"
Yao smiled and replied: "Today is the old lady's birthday, it is not appropriate to see blood. Why not let Aunt Feng copy the scriptures ten times, which can be regarded as praying for the old lady."
Seeing how Yao handled the situation, the old lady's expression improved a little: "In that case, Aunt Feng, you can go down and copy the scriptures."
If you copy it ten times, won’t your hands be broken?
However, Aunt Feng still looked at Yao with gratitude. If Yao had not intended to protect her, she was afraid that the old lady would not let it go today.
