Chapter 136 She said something dirty but she didn’t know whether to say it or not
The Empress knew that this was a thankless job, and so did the Empress Dowager.
But a grown-up son is no longer under the control of his mother, not to mention that the emperor is already over forty years old and is a decisive and murderous emperor.
The Queen Mother looked at Pang, who had an embarrassed look on her face but didn't feel she had done anything wrong, and hesitated, not knowing how to start. However, Xu had already learned of the Queen Mother's dilemma from Lu Xinran's mumbling.
She asked for the money in order to teach Sun and Liu a lesson.
Her original intention was to expose the shameless behavior of the Liu family to all the governments in the capital.
Up to now, only the Liu family still feel good about themselves, while all the governments in the capital are trying to avoid them.
Those girls in their house are worth as much as gold. I'm afraid that no one except Shang Jia will dare to marry them in the future.
After all, marrying them would mean letting the Liu family suck your blood.
No one wants to be a sucker, and looking at the behavior of the Pang and Sun families... the girl from the Liu family is probably not worthy of being presented in terms of virtue, speech, appearance and talent.
Xu had a plan in mind, and when she met the empress dowager's embarrassed look, she took the initiative to speak.
"Your Majesty, it is our fault that this matter has alarmed you. I feel truly guilty.
"If the Liu family apologizes publicly for openly damaging my reputation over the years, I will not pursue the money owed by the Liu family.
"I still have dowry money to spend, so consider these as a lesson for me for not knowing how to buy things from people."
When Mrs. Pang heard that she wanted everyone in their house to apologize in public, she instantly became so ashamed and angry that her eyes turned red.
If this wasn't the Changshou Palace, she would have stood up and yelled, "You're talking nonsense, stop dreaming, and you still want to apologize? I'll never do that in your next life."
Unfortunately, this is the Changshou Palace, and the Empress Dowager is sitting at the top.
She stood up and knelt in the hall with a plop: "Empress Dowager, you have to make the decision for me. This is an unprovoked disaster for me and the Liu family.
"She clearly took the initiative to give those things to my family, and even forced my wife and daughter-in-law to sign a document. How vicious she is. Madam, you have to make the decision for me!"
Pang's crying left several people in the hall stunned.
Even Lu Xinran, who was not very familiar with the ways of the world, knew that she was courting death.
She said something rude but she didn't know whether to say it or not.
This guy is stupid!
She cursed in her heart, and when everyone came to their senses and looked at Pang who suddenly couldn't cry anymore, they all felt that these two words were particularly suitable for her!
This person is... a piece of rotten clay that can't be helped.
Xu had stepped up to such a high level and she accepted the offer in front of the empress dowager. Whether or not she would apologize and how she would apologize was up to her to decide.
Xu gave up the pursuit of the silver in order to show goodwill to the Queen Mother, not to cause trouble for the Liu and Pang families.
Unfortunately, Lu Xinran could understand these obvious truths, but Pang Shi did not.
The Queen Mother looked at her, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Lu Xinran looked at the Queen Mother with sympathy, [How can a person be so shameless? ]
[Since you are shameless even though you have been given the honor, what else can I say? The Queen Mother should just give the mediation task back to the Emperor.]
[The Pang family is shameless. If Liu Guangcun is also shameless, then this family will be ruined.]
[The Pang family is not from a small family, why do they act so petty? ]
[Eh, she is a concubine's daughter, or a concubine's concubine's daughter, no wonder she is so unpresentable. ]
【Liu Guangcun was also born out of wedlock, but he was lucky. He was the last in the second class that year and almost became a fellow Jinshi.】
[In recent years, he has had some luck and has been promoted to the position of Guanglu Temple Minister. ]
[A bastard who was once looked down upon by others has turned over a new leaf, and now owns a rare mansion in the capital that holds real power. No wonder both the husband and wife look like nouveau riche.]
Lu Xinran flipped through the booklet and turned the couple's past upside down through the Pang family.
Everyone listened to her thoughts, and there was a flash of disgust in their eyes.
Especially the Pei family. Almost every family in the capital had illegitimate children. Lu Jinchuan favored his two concubines and was more fond of their daughters.
Although she seldom brought the daughter of Lu Kangde's concubine with her, she never treated her harshly in terms of food and clothing.
She knew better than anyone that if a concubine's child had problems with his mentality and vision, there would be endless troubles.
So Lu Jinchuan favored his illegitimate daughter. Although she disliked it, she never said a word about it.
At this moment, looking at Pang who was kneeling on the ground and still trying to mess around with the Queen Mother, she felt relieved.
The queen was also filled with relief that the emperor did not give her this task.
Otherwise, no matter how Pang was dealt with, the emperor would only be dissatisfied with her.
Pang finally came to her senses and now had cold sweat on her back. She just...actually wanted to negotiate terms with the Queen Mother. Was she crazy?
Seeing that everyone in the hall had a speechless look on their faces, she dared not cry anymore, and quickly knelt down and spoke in a shameless manner to save the situation.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to bring my daughter-in-law to apologize to Madam Xu."
The empress dowager was very relieved that she could be awakened by Lu Xinran's inner voice, and it seemed that the craftsman was not called to the palace in vain... She could see the excitement in person.
She breathed a sigh of relief: "This is the best. All the families in the capital should live in harmony. Only when we are in harmony can we work together for the court."
"It is my fault that you have caused your majesty to worry. I am ashamed of your care and concern."
Xu hurriedly stood up and bowed to the empress dowager's guilty body.
Although Pang was unwilling in her heart, she dared not say anything unpleasant at this moment, and followed Xu in saying auspicious words.
The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction. Fortunately, this Pang was not that stupid.
If she were to throw the problem back to the emperor, this little matter might not be resolved.
Lu Xinran curled his lips, feeling a little regretful towards Pang's apology.
But this drama has finally come to an end, and the system should also calculate her health points, right?
I don’t know how much it can be settled. With such a mess, it should be worth at least half a month, right?
After leaving the palace, she received a system notification sound on the carriage returning home.
"Why only ten days? That's too stingy."
"This isn't a big deal. If it hadn't become known to everyone, this kind of melon would have been settled in two days at most according to the past."
The system hastily spoke up to defend itself, "How about we just go solve the case?"
Based on my experience during this period, I have concluded that solving cases is the most economical way to gain health points.
Then, I encountered the Rong Enbo Mansion where everyone was evil.
Finally, we get to eat the big melons about the parents’ shortcomings.
"Aren't you a melon-eating system? Eating melons gives you one or two days of life value. Don't you think this is unreasonable?"
Eat melons, eat melons, but the health points given by eating melons are pitifully low.
Why call this a melon-eating system? Just call it a crime-solving system.
Tongzi was almost stunned by her question, and after a long while he replied in a low voice.
"Maybe, maybe it's to allow you to develop as many uses for the melon-eating system as possible?"
Lu Xinran: “Haha”
