A moment later, Meixiang, who had found out the news, walked into the living room where the atmosphere was tense.
"What's going on?!" There was still a hint of urgency in Mrs. Shen's tone.
"Madam," Meixiang replied, "The prince took Jinju to Zuijinlou last night."
"When the prince was listening to music in the Tianzi private room, Deng Hao, the nephew of Prefect Deng, kicked the door open."
"Deng Hao said some treasonous words to the prince, and was beaten by Jin Ju."
"Then the prince had someone notify Deng Hao's family."
"So today, Deng Hao came to the gate of the prefectural government office and knelt to apologize. Prefect Deng has already taken Deng Hao's mother and grandfather to see the prince."
Before going out, Meixiang went to King Qianhuang's courtyard and asked Sun Ren and Jin Ju about the situation.
Jinju knew that the matter had become known to the whole city, so she did not hide it from Meixiang, who was by Madam Shen's side.
Lu Man rubbed her back teeth.
"Seventh brother actually took Jinju to a brothel!!!"
You can go to theaters and teahouses to listen to music. It's not just in brothels that you can listen to music.
She used to go to theaters and teahouses with her good sisters to listen to music.
Why does Seventh Brother have to go to a brothel to listen to music, and bring Jinju with him?
Tan Qinghui glanced at Lu Man thoughtfully.
Why did she feel that there was a sour taste in her third brother's wife's words?
"That's right, if they want to take someone, they should take us." Cao Huixian muttered dissatisfiedly.
She has never been to a brothel. It doesn't matter who the seventh brother takes with him, why can't he take her with him?
Cheng Suihua glanced at Lu Man and Cao Huixian speechlessly.
"That's not a place where women can just go casually."
After saying that, she turned to look at Mrs. Shen.
After hearing Meixiang's words, Mrs. Shen felt relieved.
If Lao Qi took Jin Ju to a brothel, it wouldn't be to have sex with prostitutes.
As for the murmurs of her daughters-in-law, she simply ignored them.
"Is Magistrate Deng still with Old Seven?"
Old Madam Shen looked at Meixiang.
"yes."
"You go wait. After Magistrate Deng leaves, ask Old Seven to come over."
"yes....."
........
"Your Highness, this is the Ma family's heirloom, the Tianhuang Triple Seal."
When Mr. Ma met Shen Yong, he didn't mention Deng Hao at all, but directly gave him the family heirloom. (Tian Huang Triple Seal)
Since everyone knows the truth, there is no need to plead for mercy by offering treasures.
As long as King Qianhuang is satisfied with the treasure, he will naturally let Deng Hao go afterwards.
What he needs to do now is to lower his posture and curry favor with King Qianhuang.
Shen Yong looked at the heirloom presented by Master Ma, and his eyes lit up slightly.
It is indeed a rare heirloom that has been passed down for several generations.
In the past, Chen Yong would definitely be very excited to see such a good treasure.
But now, his space is filled with countless royal treasures, so seeing the Ma family heirloom only gave him a small surprise, but it can't be said to be shocking.
Chen Yong glanced at the Tianhuang three-linked seal indifferently, and then moved his gaze to the still kneeling Master Ma.
"What does Master Ma mean?"
Mr. Ma's expression was stern, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.
"Your Majesty, I have long admired your great reputation. It is truly an honor for me to meet you today.
I would like to present the treasure that has been passed down from generation to generation in my family to express my admiration for the prince.
Although this treasure is not rare in the world, it is also a treasure passed down from my family's ancestors. I hope it can catch the prince's eye and add a bit of glory to the prince. "
Mr. Ma blurted out all the flattering words he had been organizing in his mind for a long time.
Shen Yong raised his eyebrows slightly, "This treasure is quite special. Since it is your Ma family's heirloom, why do you want to present it to this king?"
Master Ma lowered his head in fear and said, "Your Highness, I am willing to do my best to help you."
"Although this treasure is precious, it is an honor for it to be favored by King Qianhuang, and it is also the honor of my family."
"I am willing to follow His Majesty and serve Him."
Mrs. Deng listened to her father chattering for a long time without mentioning her son at all, and she suddenly became anxious.
As soon as she looked up, she felt the terrifying gaze of Governor Deng beside her.
Mrs. Deng pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and finally did not dare to speak.
On the way here, the brother-in-law told her not to interrupt, otherwise he would not care about Haoer's life or death.
Mrs. Deng took a deep breath, and under the pressure of Governor Deng's gaze, she lowered her eyelids and knelt there obediently.
Chen Yong curled his lips and smiled.
"Your words are quite pleasing to the ear. I accept this gift. If there is an opportunity in the future, I will remember your loyalty."
Mr. Ma immediately thanked excitedly,
"Thank you, Your Highness! I am willing to sacrifice my life for you, no matter what!"
"Stop being polite." Chen Yong glanced at the three people kneeling. "We are all family, why are you still kneeling?"
"Someone, bring tea."
"Thank you, Your Highness..."
After taking a sip of tea, Magistrate Deng and the other person left Chen Yong's study.
Just give the gift; keeping any more would be annoying.
Mrs. Deng endured it until she left Chen Yong's yard, and finally she couldn't bear it anymore.
"Dad, why don't you ask the prince to release Hao'er?"
Wasn't the heirloom used to save Hao'er? Why didn't she mention Hao'er at all? Wouldn't it be given away in vain?
"Shut up!" Master Ma looked around and glared at Madam Deng.
"You know nothing. You are not allowed to come to the prefectural government office from now on."
After a pause, Master Ma added, "You are not allowed to go to the palace."
When the palace is completed, Prince Qianhuang and his family will move into it, so naturally they cannot let his brainless and tactless daughter go there.
Things are different now than before. In the past, the Ma family and the Deng family joined forces and didn’t have to worry about anyone in Qianhuang City.
Of course, his daughter didn't need to read anyone's face, so she developed this silly look.
But it’s different now. His daughter’s brainless behavior will only harm the Ma and Deng families.
"Why?!" Madam Deng looked at Mr. Ma in confusion.
By then, all the ladies from other families will be able to go to the palace, but she won’t be able to go. That would be so embarrassing.
Besides, she didn't offend the women in the palace.
It’s just that Hao’er offended the prince, and she has already made amends in time and been very humble.
You know, she has never kneeled down to anyone in all these years.
"Because you are stupid, you will bring disaster to the Ma and Deng families."
Mr. Ma did not hide anything when he spoke, for he was afraid that his words were not clear enough and his daughter would not understand.
"If you want Hao'er to live well, you two should stay indoors from now on."
"From now on, if Hao'er gets into trouble again, don't come looking for me."
"Dad!?" Madam Deng looked at Master Ma in disbelief. "You don't want your daughter anymore?"
She didn't do anything, why did her father not want her anymore?
She was not very obedient just now. She was kneeling honestly and didn't say a word. Why are you angry with her?
