Chapter 291: The Impotent Rage of the Foul-Mouthed
In the fourth year, there was a severe drought throughout the country.
There was no grass growing in the fields, the people were starving, and there was widespread misery. In many areas, people even exchanged their own children for food.
In order to maintain his extravagant lifestyle, the emperor not only did not reduce or exempt taxes, but also increased them.
Public resentment was boiling, and the people, who had been oppressed to the extreme, rose up in anger.
The emperor had lost the support of the people, corrupt officials were rampant, and the people in all places suffered from the court for a long time.
Wherever the rebels went, the local people joined forces to kill corrupt officials and help the rebels occupy the city.
The rebels advanced all the way to the imperial city, broke into the palace, and killed the emperor and a number of ministers.
The country changed dynasties.
The emperor after the change of dynasty was a wise ruler. He personally went to the Ling family to ask for favors and promised them many benefits.
The Ling family did not take advantage of Qiao and restored the commercial links in that country.
After that incident of killing the chicken to scare the monkey, emperors of other countries had to think twice before making any move against the Ling family.
Fu Mo figured this out and felt that it was not a big deal.
Besides, the princess is one of us.
He doesn't need to worry about this.
"The fact that the prince has picked up his brush again shows that he has new inspiration. This painting will surely be passed down through the ages."
"No, I have to strike a good pose." Fu Mo said.
Picking peach blossoms requires either squatting or bending over, what good-looking posture can there be?
In order to make the painting look better, Fu Mo did not squat or bend over, but caught the scattered peach blossoms with his hands.
The peach blossoms are light and scatter everywhere when the wind blows.
In order to catch the peach petals, he jumped up and down like a monkey.
Yu Lingye watched the scene from afar.
The Fu Mo that was supposed to be painted was replaced by a monkey.
"Where did this bumpkin come from?" A woman dressed in peach-pink clothes walked leisurely into the peach forest and sneered, "Why don't you pick the peach blossoms that are lying around instead of picking them from the ground?"
While talking,
The peach-pink woman has come to Xie Yingmian.
She seemed to have just realized that it was Xie Yingmian: "Oh, who did I think it was?"
"It turned out to be Princess Ling."
"No wonder she's picking up peach blossoms from the ground. Princess Ling grew up on the farm, so she must have often picked up dirty peach blossoms that fell on the ground. Even after becoming Princess Ling, she couldn't change her old habits."
The woman in the peach blossom dress covered her mouth with a handkerchief and said, "Oh, look at my mouth."
"I'm a straightforward person. I always say what I think. Princess Ling, please don't misunderstand me. I have no ill intentions. I just want to tell you that peach blossoms on trees are pure. Peach blossoms on the ground are stained with dust. They can be used to make wine or snacks, and dogs wouldn't eat them."
Xie Yingmian frowned.
She didn't recognize the woman in the peach-pink dress.
But she knew the two behind the peach-pink woman.
"Hey, you made a bet with me, didn't you?" Xie Yingmian ignored the pink-haired woman and pointed at one of them. "When we were at the Xie Mansion, you made a bet with me for five thousand taels."
"I forgot your name."
"But it doesn't matter. We signed a written agreement regarding our bet. Six months are almost up. Prince Ling and I haven't divorced, and I haven't been divorced. If you lose, remember to prepare five thousand taels of silver."
The woman whose name was called stiffened, and she forced a smile: "My name is Tao Caiyue."
Xie Yingmian: "Oh, I remember now, it's this name."
She remembered that when she was in the Xie family, there were two other women around Tao Caiyue.
Thanks to Tao Caiyue, she remembered their names.
One of the leaders was driven away by her. His name was Lin Qingqing.
The other one seems to be called Du Fengting.
Lin Qingqing is not here, but Du Fengting is.
Xie Yingmian looked at the veiled woman with unfriendly eyes beside Tao Caiyue and smiled slightly: "Miss Du, how are you?"
"I heard you were seriously ill earlier. I think you're recovering now that you can participate in the Spring Festival tour."
"Hey, why are you wearing a veil? Are you allergic to pollen?"
Du Fengting almost vomited to death.
Last time at Xie's house, she was slapped several times and kicked by Xie Yingmian, and she suffered a great loss.
Being pulled by Tao Caiyue, she was unable to fight back.
After she returned home, she became more and more angry and became seriously ill due to anger.
After taking a lot of medicine and suffering for many days, the illness was finally cured, but a strange root cause of the disease was left behind.
She would break out in a rash on her face whenever there was a breeze.
Those raised rashes look like bumps on a toad, disgusting and scary.
She consulted the imperial physician and other famous doctors, but none of them could help her.
Therefore, she could only wear a veil when going out.
Du Fengting's anger was about to burst out of her eyes: "Is it you who caused the rash on my face?"
"Yes, it must be you, otherwise you wouldn't be so happy to ask me. I know it, I know it was you who did it."
"You thought I called you a toad dreaming of eating swan flesh, so you deliberately poisoned me, you..."
Xie Yingmian interrupted her: "Ms. Du, you need to provide evidence when you speak."
"You said I poisoned you, where's the evidence?"
"If you don't have evidence, you're slandering me. If you slander me, I can sue you in court. I wonder what the charge is for slandering a royal relative?"
Zang Yue deadpanned, "Thirty lashes of the cane, and a public apology."
Xie Yingmian: "Miss Du, did you hear that?"
Du Fengting was so angry that she was about to explode: "You!"
"Who else could it be except you? What evidence do you need?" Du Fengting's eyes turned red with anger.
At first, she didn't think it was Xie Yingmian, but just thought that it was her fault.
Later, Xie Yingmian saved the eldest princess and reattached the broken arm of Shen Tingsi, who had lost it three years ago.
When rumors spread everywhere that Xie Yingmian was the descendant of the Gu Saint, she realized that her strange illness might be a revenge from Xie Yingmian.
"I just cursed you and you ruined my life. How can you be so vicious?" Du Fengting said angrily, "Xie Yingmian, whether you admit it or not, I must seek justice for myself today."
Seeing that the situation was not right, Tao Caiyue quickly changed the subject.
"Princess Ling, I accept the loss." Tao Caiyue stood in front of Du Fengting. "When the date arrives, I will deliver five thousand taels of silver to Prince Ling's mansion."
Xie Yingmian was too lazy to pay attention to Du Fengting.
It's just the impotent rage of a foul-mouthed person.
She was more interested in Tao Caiyue's gambling money: "I hope Miss Tao will do what she said."
The woman in the peach-pink dress was ignored for a while and was very dissatisfied.
She said sarcastically, "No wonder Caiyue has been so stingy lately. It turns out she's trying to get money for Princess Ling's gambling. Five thousand taels of silver isn't a lot. Princess Ling, why don't you show some mercy while you can?"
"Oh, I forgot. Princess Ling grew up on a farm and may not have seen so much silver."
"Fortunately, the Tao family doesn't lack this little money. Cousin Caiyue, don't be angry. Just think of it as poverty alleviation."
Tao Caiyue:......
She was willing to accept defeat and voluntarily gave Princess Ling five thousand taels.
She really volunteered.
She wasn't angry at all.
Xie Yingmian frowned slightly.
She didn't know the woman in the peach pink dress. Why was she always so sarcastic?
"Fu Mo, who is this person?"
