Chapter 61: Just because she is a commoner, she should be loved for everything?
The pressure came like a huge wave, forcing Chu Jiuning to have no way to retreat.
The Duke's wife's eyes flickered slightly, and the joy in her heart made her smile. She stood up with full confidence, raised her chin, and looked at Chu Jiuning provocatively with the attitude of an absolute winner.
She thought.
It’s time to appreciate the panic, helplessness and submission on Chu Jiuning’s face!
The Duke's Mansion could not suppress Chu Jiuning, so when she came to the Emperor, she had no choice but to bow her head and obey.
She already knew that Jinbao was the emperor's grandson.
He had to rush over and acknowledge him as his son. You know, there are not many sons among the princes nowadays.
"Your Majesty, Jinbao is already three years old. It's time to hire a better teacher to teach him."
The Duchess spoke to the Emperor in a sweet voice, not even thinking that her husband, with a gloomy face and clenched fists, was still standing in the crowd.
"Yes, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will arrange it."
The Duke's wife looked at Eunuch Chen again, her eyes full of contempt. Even if his adopted daughter died in the Marquis's Mansion, so what? Wouldn't he still have to do things for her obediently?
Eunuch Chen knew what she was thinking. Although his face remained calm, his finger bones were aching from being pinched. When he heard the emperor instructing him to find an enlightenment teacher for Song Jinbao, a dark flash passed through his eyes, and he bowed obediently.
"Your Majesty, rest assured. I will definitely get it done."
If he wanted a famous teacher, no problem, he would definitely find one. However, he couldn't guarantee whether that person was a good person or a bad person.
It is difficult to teach a child well, but it is very easy to teach a bad child.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The Duke's wife bowed gracefully, raised her smile and looked at the emperor tenderly. The emperor also looked at her tenderly, with a hint of doting in his eyes.
"Okay, I'm tired. Let's leave now."
The emperor stood up and spoke to the eunuch again.
"Mrs. Song and Jin Huai have been frightened quite a bit recently, so pick out some good things to send to them."
This means not only no punishment, but also reward.
Seeing the emperor about to leave, the adults were so angry that they were about to explode. A mouthful of blood was stuck in their mouths, and they didn't know whether to spit it out or not.
This is murder, it is a crime, and the penalty is death.
Subconsciously.
Several adults looked at Chu Jiuning together, with a hint of pleading in their eyes. They couldn't swallow this humiliation, nor were they willing to let it go.
Chu Jiuning stood quietly, feeling a sense of sadness and helplessness.
The more she saw, the more she felt...power was really a good thing. There was no need to distinguish right from wrong, or care about black or white. A single word from the person in power could overwhelm everything!
but.
Why?
Why?
"emperor."
She frowned, her expression cold, but the two words were like two icebergs.
"Just because I'm a commoner?"
These words startled the emperor who was about to leave. He turned around and Chu Jiuning's beautiful eyes suddenly looked at him like poisonous arrows.
"Just because you are of noble birth, powerful, and in a higher position, I should endure all this injustice and swallow my anger?"
Everyone present was stunned. She, what was she talking about? How dare she?
"You said that it was because I modified the courtyard that what happened later happened, and I should be held responsible. But if the Emperor and Madam Song hadn't had such a shameless affair, and if Song Jinhuai hadn't been born, wouldn't what happened later have happened? Aren't the Emperor and the Duke's wife the ones who are truly responsible for this matter?"
The Duke's wife's face suddenly turned gloomy.
The emperor's face changed color instantly, and his anger was overwhelming, like countless sharp blades rushing towards Chu Jiuning.
I never thought that a small untouchable would dare to say such outrageous words.
But Chu Jiuning's heart was also about to explode.
She looked at the old uncle.
The old imperial uncle in front of him is highly respected. At the age of seventy, he is still in charge of the Ministry of Clan Affairs and has held the position of Clan Leader for more than thirty years.
Chu Jiuning walked up to him and knelt down.
"Old Prince, you have been in charge of the Imperial Clan Court for thirty-seven years and four months. Have you ever seen or heard of such a scandal? Have you ever met such a shameless person?"
Bang.
The old uncle threw the cup in his hand at Chu Jiuning's feet with a bang. He pointed at Chu Jiuning with a stern face and scolded her angrily.
"You are outrageous! Outrageous! Outrageous!"
Three consecutive outrages pushed the old uncle's anger to the extreme. His eyes were wide open, his beard was shaking, and he looked at Chu Jiuning with murderous eyes.
I really didn't expect that someone would dare to challenge the royal family, dare to say such outrageous words, and dare to be so bold!
He has been pampered for so many years and has always been high and mighty. Who dares to be rude in front of him?
"Chu Jiuning."
The old uncle gritted his teeth and rushed to her.
"It's not your turn to speak for the royal family, nor is it your turn to give instructions. You've committed a serious crime. I can confiscate your property, believe it or not."
Every word was like a sharp knife, piercing Chu Jiuning's heart.
The helplessness of being suppressed by the powerful made her anger burst out all of a sudden. She sneered and stopped kneeling. She actually stood up little by little in front of the old uncle.
The sharp gaze pierced into the old uncle's eyes, and the old uncle took a step back inexplicably.
At this time.
He then realized that Chu Jiuning was taller than him, and even more imposing than himself, a member of the royal family.
This made the old uncle extremely angry. Even if the emperor saw him, he would be polite to him. He didn't expect that he would be stopped by a little woman.
"Does the old prince mean that he will not uphold justice?"
"When did I ever say I wouldn't uphold justice? It's just that this matter happened a long time ago. If it gets out of hand, the gains won't outweigh the losses, so I'm trying to make it a small matter."
The old uncle was confronted so bluntly that he didn't know how to respond for a moment. Originally, as long as Song Jinhuai didn't return to the royal family, it didn't matter what the emperor did to him.
"Making a big thing small?"
There was sarcasm in Chu Jiuning's eyes and her aura was surging.
"So small that I have to bear all the consequences alone? The Song family married me for the sole purpose of taking my life and my wealth. The child was adopted into my name just to inherit my family business in a legitimate way. I knew the conspiracy behind it, but I had to endure it because of the imperial power. In the end, I died without a burial place. Since that's the case, I might as well fight to the death now!"
"you……"
The old uncle glared at the emperor and the duke's wife, his chest heaving with anger. This matter was too complicated, and he didn't want to care who was true or false. Finally, the old man waved his hand and shouted unreasonably.
"Your Chu family has a lot of money, so why not support your husband's family?"
“Shameless!”
Chu Jiuning's voice suddenly rose, and almost the entire hall could hear it clearly. Her anger was like a mountain torrent. She approached the old uncle, and her eyes were filled with murderous intent.
