Chapter 296 Frustration
"Yeah," Xiao Yan nodded, "I doubt it too. It's definitely the kind of despicable trick she could come up with."
"Don't let her go," Yun Ting said. "Let this matter be known to everyone. That way, when the case is investigated in the future, the Shuntian prefect won't dare to mess around."
"So what if it gets out of hand?" Xiao Yan asked. "At most, it'll reach the Emperor. Given the Emperor's habit of smoothing things over and being cautious, how do you think he'll handle it?"
Yun Ting became depressed upon hearing this.
Yes, Xiao Yan is right.
How could the emperor admit that the Seventh Princess was the mastermind behind this incident?
What about royal decency?
What about the dignity of the late queen?
After all, the Seventh Princess was raised by the Queen. How could the former Queen feel proud that she was raised like this?
The emperor spared no effort to protect the late queen, so even if it was just for the late queen, he would show leniency to the seventh princess.
"Sometimes I think that the emperor is not without responsibility for the affairs of his children." Yun Ting sighed.
In comparison, his father doesn't seem that annoying.
Being a parent is a subject that needs to be studied for a lifetime.
In the future, he must be a father that his children like.
Oh, you’re thinking too far ahead.
Erya came over and pulled Yunting's sleeve, whispering, "Can you go out with me for a while?"
"Where are you going?"
"Go find Dujuan." Erya said gritting her teeth.
Ever since she heard the whole story, she has been furious.
I guess I can't hold it back any longer now.
"What are you looking for her for?" Yun Ting asked. "Scold her? Scolding her is useless. Zhuozhuo, that kind of person, she won't wake up if you scold her. She just thinks she's the most wronged person in the world. I advise you not to waste your breath. Besides, scolding her again will only make you angry again. It's not worth it. Let's just wait and see Shuntian Prefecture punish her."
"I can't get over this unless I scold her," Erya gritted her teeth. "My mother treats her like a half-daughter. Whenever she comes to our house, she gives her food and drink. When she comes home to do needlework in the winter, my mother will add an extra brazier and use such expensive charcoal. And now, she comes to harm my mother like this? I want to tear her apart alive."
"You should calm down. It's not worth it. If you really can't bear it anymore, wait a few days and go to Shuntian Prefecture together. If you see her, you can scold her and vent your anger." Yun Ting whispered, "Can't you see your mother is upset? Go and comfort her first. We can talk about other things later."
Erya looked up and saw Daya standing beside her mother, whispering comfort to her, so she also went over.
San Ya was young and didn't quite understand the twists and turns that had happened, but she knew that Du Juan was the bad guy and that this was all because of Du Juan, so she also muttered, "When I learn to ride a horse, I'll ride Wang Yun and trample her."
Lu Qiniang was somewhat distraught, muttering to herself, "How will Old Hu live in the future?"
When Erya heard this, she became furious. "Their family has hurt you so badly, and you're still thinking about others. If Dujuan succeeds in this matter today, how will you live?"
Just as I took a breath, I started to worry about others again. I will never stop worrying about them in this lifetime.
"Er Ya, I know you're on my side and I'm angry for you. But let's be honest, isn't Old Hu even worse off than me?"
That was the child he raised with so much effort, emotion and money.
Why didn't you hesitate at all when you harmed him?
Can jealousy and imbalance negate all the care he had shown her before?
"Dujuan mother, there's no way I'll leave Dujuan behind. But after this incident, I understand Lao Hu's temper. Even though he's usually so carefree, he won't get angry even if you scold him. He's always smiling. But once he's made up his mind, nothing can change it. I'm afraid he and Dujuan mother can't live together anymore."
"That's what she deserves," Erya said. "Mother, don't you think Dujuan's mother has any responsibility at all for making such a big deal out of this? Isn't it because she's remarried and she's afraid Dujuan will be wronged, so she's always secretly spending money on her and doting on her, spoiling her and spoiling her?"
Dr. Hu tries hard to be a good father.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with Du Juanniang protecting her daughter, but for so many years, she has always regarded Doctor Hu as an outsider in her heart, so her daughter acted like this.
"Dujuan's mother is a little bit bad, but that's no excuse for her to become bad." Lu Qiniang said, "Dujuan's foundation is just rotten. Actually, today, I didn't say I had to do anything to her. I just wanted to scare her. If she knew how to be afraid and beg for mercy, I thought maybe she could be saved. After all, she's still young."
But Dujuan was not afraid at all, and there was a kind of madness in her eyes that Lu Qiniang could not understand.
She never realized it until her death.
This is the most terrifying thing.
Although parents are the first teachers of their children, it does not mean that being a parent means being unlucky and blaming the parents for everything that happens to their children.
Logically speaking, Doctor Hu and Dujuan's mother are both good people. Why didn't Dujuan learn from them?
Apparently, she was born ungrateful, stubborn, competitive, and a man-flatterer.
What Dujuan can't get, she wants to get through men.
"This child is beyond saving," Lu Qiniang said. "Let the government decide. I'm afraid Du Juanniang and Old Hu will have a rift, and life will be difficult for both of them. The one who will suffer the most is Hu Rui, alas."
"Mom, Uncle Hu will handle it himself." Daya said softly, "You have to trust him and make this decision."
If something goes wrong, someone has to be held responsible.
"Yeah." Lu Qiniang sighed, "My heart is still in a mess. I dare not think about it. I am afraid of the consequences."
If she was really knocked unconscious and was caught in bed with Doctor Hu, not only would she be able to live with dignity, but her three daughters would have a hard time getting married in the future because of such a mother.
So Lu Qinniang could not forgive Dujuan at all.
No matter what her reasons were, seeing how she remained stubborn after being exposed, Lu Qiniang wished she could be sentenced to death by Shuntian Prefecture.
"By the way, Daya," Lu Qiniang said nervously, "I'm afraid this matter will reach your in-laws' ears. Will it affect your marriage?"
The most disgusting thing about this matter is that it is difficult to avoid the situation where three people become a tiger.
When the scope of spread becomes wider, things tend to become more and more outrageous.
Among so many people, if there are two fools out of a hundred, they will confuse right and wrong.
Lu Qinniang's reputation will definitely be affected.
"No, mother," Daya said with a smile, "the Jiang family are all reasonable people who can distinguish right from wrong."
This incident actually had an impact on her.
She couldn't bring up the matter of breaking off the engagement for the time being, not only because of Jiang Xuan's health, but also because of her mother's current condition.
Once the engagement is cancelled, Lu Qiniang will probably find fault with herself again.
