Chapter 273 Who Wants to Eat Shit?
I could only watch my own mother being beaten and screaming in pain, but I couldn't do anything!
Princess Duanyang standing by was watching intently. So this is how she lives her life as a princess?
Thanks to the fairy teaching her, she understood everything!!
Princess Duanyang looked at it for a while with great relief, and then saw that the disgusting guy Rongchang Hou was lying on the ground and was actually looking for help from the people around him. Her face suddenly turned dark again.
This fellow, with despicable means and a dirty heart, doesn't have the courage to speak out, but is very good at pretending to be pitiful to gain sympathy. He is really the same as his vicious mother!
What made people even more angry was that quite a few of them were actually moved by this mother and son.
Princess Duanyang glared at these people angrily and immediately complained to Xiao Tu, "Fairy, your method is indeed very satisfying, but some people really can't distinguish right from wrong. They actually stand up for the despicable mother and son, Madam Rongchang and the Marquis of Rongchang, and feel unfair for them. It's really infuriating!"
Hearing this, Xiao Tu's beautiful eyes lazily glanced at the people around her, "Oh, there's such a thing. Who is feeling unfair for these two?"
Everyone looked at each other when they heard this. Some people really felt sorry for the mother and son, especially since Old Madam Rongchang had been beaten like this. They couldn't help but want to say a few fair words.
But Xiao Tu, who was questioning them, looked at the person who wanted to speak, smiled and cracked a melon and said, "No way, no way, this lady was just saying it casually. Are you really blind and think that Rongchang Marquis's Mansion is pitiful?"
The "blind" person was choked!
Xiao Tu, however, curved her red lips and continued, "No one has spoken up to plead for mercy. I've been saying this, you're not blind. Everyone can see what the Rongchang Marquisate is doing. It's like secretly feeding you a pile of shit, telling you to eat it for your own good, for me, and for everyone else. Madam Rongchang seems to find it too disgusting and refuses to eat it. I wonder if anyone else thinks this shit is edible?"
Those who want to speak, "..."
The previous sentence was just calling them blind, but this one directly said that whoever spoke the word was just looking for shit!
Those who wanted to speak now looked as ugly as if they had eaten shit, and no one spoke!
When Princess Duanyang saw this scene, she almost burst out laughing.
As expected, their fairy is really powerful and can deal with these gossipy women with bad intentions!
Seeing that everyone around him remained silent, Marquis Rongchang felt that no one was willing to help him, a dignified marquis. He instinctively looked at his wife for help, hoping that she would quickly speak up and ask the person who slapped him to stop.
But he found that his wife, who had never let him suffer any grievance for so many years, did not respond at all to his panicked pleas, and her expression was even more indifferent and ruthless than those of the people around her!
When Marquis Rongchang looked at his wife like this, he suddenly became panicked, as if he finally realized that the woman in front of him who loved him so much was no longer the same as before!
At the same time, in the luxurious hall, officials were having a banquet.
Compared to the ladies who were leisurely enjoying the flowers in the imperial garden, many officials here were arguing fiercely over the recent excessive number of vacant official positions.
There are three factions visible to the naked eye in the hall:
Because the civil officials and military generals of Dazhao were clearly separated, the military generals were not allowed to get involved in court affairs.
The left prime minister's faction is trying hard to form cliques and seize the vacant official position.
Ning Dugong's faction sat high on the throne, watching his subordinates quarreling with each other with red faces and angry expressions.
Ning Cuo supported the monster's face with one hand, played with the white jade wine glass with the other, and watched with great interest the scene in the hall where the vicious dogs were fighting for the bait he had thrown out.
The power of the Left Prime Minister has been badly damaged recently. He looked fiercely at his subordinates who were at a disadvantage, secretly hating the vicious and hateful Ning Ze!
This cannot go on, thought the Left Prime Minister, and he looked around. He first glanced with disdain at the vulgar generals who were used to laughing at their two factions, and finally his eyes fell on a man who was over fifty years old and exuded an elegant air.
He immediately couldn't help but say, "Grand Secretary Ji, you are a Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Academy, a veteran of two dynasties, and you are deeply trusted by the late emperor. Now that eunuchs are in power and the imperial power is weak, are you just going to watch and do nothing?"
Grand Secretary Ji, who was drinking without any business, looked at the Left Prime Minister and smiled casually, "Left Prime Minister, you are too kind. I have received the emperor's grace to restore the Siku Quanshu. I dare not slack off for a moment. The Left Prime Minister and other important officials are enough for the court!"
Upon hearing this, the Left Prime Minister said calmly, "I don't believe that Master Ji can't see the current situation. The eunuchs are numerous and powerful. If we don't rise up and resist, we will be dead sooner or later."
Scholar Ji smiled and spread his hands, saying, "But I am just a scholar, I can do nothing but write poetry!"
The left prime minister's face darkened, but he refused to let him go and said, "Master Ji, you are too modest. Your Ji family is a century-old family, and you are the head of the Ji family..."
"Master Ji."
Before the Left Prime Minister could finish his words, a figure rushed over and called out.
The Left Prime Minister was very dissatisfied with this and was about to scold him, but the smiling Master Ji spoke first, "You seem to be in such a hurry to come here. What do you want from me?"
The man hurriedly said, "I am a guard under Princess Duanyang. I am here on the princess's orders to ask Master Ji to come over in person on behalf of Rong, uh, Miss Ji!"
Scholar Ji's smile faltered. His daughter wanted him to go in person, and the guard's words were strange, not calling her Madam Rongchang but Miss Ji. He couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and asked, "What happened?"
The guard glanced at him lightly, "Miss Ji said she wants to break off the engagement with Marquis Rongchang."
The smile on Master Ji's face disappeared instantly, then he stood up with a stern face and strode out.
His movements were so big that he bumped into people who were arguing in the hall, causing many people to look at him strangely.
Even Ning Cuo, who was in a high position, slowly raised his eyes to take a look, then curled his lips and said playfully, "Ji Qinghe, this smiling tiger, actually got anxious and lost his composure. What happened?"
Xiao Lezi glanced at the guard who delivered the message and said, "I just heard something vaguely, and it seems to be related to Master Ji's precious daughter."
Ning Cuo glanced at him with a narrow smile, "I'm afraid it might be related to this little thing of mine!"
Xiao Lezi was stunned. "Master, are you talking about Madam?"
Ning Cuo smiled, "I'm having fun when that little thing isn't around." He dropped his wine glass and stood up, "Let's go, I'll join in the fun."
After saying this, he left everyone in the hall behind him and walked away with his hands behind his back.
The officials who were arguing and almost fighting in the room just stared at him as he left, not knowing whether to continue arguing for a moment.
Zuo Xiang was so angry that his face turned ashen. He stared at the man and watched him leave so easily.
He was so angry that he slammed his hand on the table, "This is outrageous. Does Ning Cuo think that we are just decorations?"
