Looking at the smile on their lady's face, Baishuang and Yunxiao shuddered subconsciously.
The lady is starting to make trouble again.
In the palace.
After listening to the two young eunuchs' detailed account of what happened at the gate of the General's Mansion, Emperor Jianchang swept the pen holder and inkstone on the jade table to the ground with a loud bang.
"Very good, it seems that these ministers of mine are not quiet at all, and their reputation for plotting against Anle has reached such a despicable level."
"Come here, Prince Xuanyong."
The chief eunuch Zhao Chong immediately sent someone to invite Xiao Lichen.
Emperor Jianchang's face was terribly dark.
Dealing with Anle is a roundabout way, and its purpose is self-evident.
He was in his prime and not yet dead, but they had actually started to frame his right-hand men.
The border has always been unstable, and the Tao family has their own way of dealing with the northern barbarians.
If the Tao family is wiped out, who will fight those barbaric and uncivilized foreigners?
What a bunch of idiots, all they do all day is play tricks on each other.
If he had thought the same as them, and looked down on the Tao family and his in-laws, the Wu family, for being more powerful than his own, perhaps the Great Zhou would have been conquered by the northern barbarians long ago.
Seeing the emperor furious, the two young eunuchs were so scared that they knelt on the ground and trembled, with their heads on the ground, gritting their teeth and not daring to look up.
Zhao Chong pushed the wheelchair, and Xiao Lichen entered the imperial study in such a solemn atmosphere.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Long live the Emperor!"
The wheelchair stopped two meters away from the jade table. Xiao Lichen sat in the wheelchair with his upper body straight and his hands clasped in salute to Emperor Jianchang.
"Chen'er, I heard that several suspicious people took the opportunity to cause trouble at the gate of the Great General's Mansion. They were captured by Anle and handed over to your Xiaoyu Guard for trial."
"Your Majesty, this matter is under the responsibility of the Deputy Commander of the Xiaoyu Guard."
Xiao Lichen's jade-like face was calm and composed, as if nothing could arouse his interest.
Emperor Jianchang waved his hand and said, "You will be personally responsible for this matter. By the way, investigate who is spreading rumors about Anle and the young master of the Tian family. When you find out the results, report to me."
He wanted to see who was behind the Tian family's actions.
"Yes! I'll do it right away!"
Xiao Lichen bowed politely, turned his wheelchair, and tried to leave with great effort.
At the signal of Emperor Jianchang, Zhao Chong pushed Xiao Lichen out of the imperial study.
The moment the door closed, a determined look flashed on Xiao Lichen's calm face.
At this time, in the Sixth Prince's Mansion.
"It was done beautifully. The Tian family and Anle have broken up, and Anle's reputation is ruined. After a while, I will find a way to gain my father's trust. Once the confinement is lifted, I will propose marriage to the General's Mansion again. I'm sure Anle will not refuse again."
The Sixth Prince, King of Han, Xiao Yangyao, paced back and forth excitedly.
Once he gets the support of the Tao family and the Wu family, he will definitely get that position.
The Tao family outside the palace.
Tao Yuwei took a nap. After waking up and washing up, she took two maids and drove to Tianshui Hutong in the south city.
After arriving in the south city, after asking around, we finally found the courtyard where the second family lived.
The carriage stopped at the door and the maid Yunxiao went to knock on the door.
After taking pictures for a long time, an elderly man finally came to open the door.
"Excuse me, who are you looking for?"
"I'm here to see my second cousin, Tao Xueqi. Please open the door."
Tao Yuwei jumped out of the car and walked to the door.
This old man who is the gatekeeper should have been found by the second wife after she moved.
When he heard her name, the old man shook his body and immediately moved away from the position blocking the door.
Tao Yuwei swaggered into the courtyard with her maid.
This courtyard is not a large quadrangle, and of course it cannot be compared with the Great General's Mansion which covers an area of a thousand acres.
There was only one servant in the yard who was responsible for sweeping the floor.
There wasn't even a maid to guard the gate.
It seems that the second family is not doing well after leaving the General's Mansion.
When I came to the yard, I heard a noise coming from the main hall.
"What did you say? The position Baichuan sought was just to guard the city gate?"
Fang's particularly shrill scream reached the courtyard, and Tao Yuwei felt very happy when she heard it.
I am happy when you are angry, that's exactly the effect I want.
When you secretly rely on others to harm their eldest family's closest relatives, there is no so-called family affection.
"Mom, we must help Baichuan again. Ask Yuwei to help him move around more and find him a better position."
In the room, Sun sat below Fang and wiped her tears.
Tao Xueqi stood aside, absent-mindedly thinking about other things.
Over the years, Sun was accustomed to bowing her head and playing the victim in front of Fang, and took advantage of Fang's favoritism towards the second wife to use Fang to gain a lot of benefits for her family.
Now, she still wants to use the same trick, but unfortunately, the situation is different and she has not adapted to her current life yet.
"Don't mention that black-hearted little bitch to me. I think she just can't stand seeing Baichuan doing well, so she deliberately found him such a lousy job. She must have kept the 50,000 taels of silver for herself. No, I'm going to go and ask her for an explanation right now."
Sun was secretly happy when she heard Fang's words.
This is what a mother-in-law should be like. Don’t think that you don’t need the main house anymore after the family is divided.
Why does the eldest wife's family live a glorious life in the capital, while the second wife's family has to live in misery with no sense of existence?
"Oh, you want to see me?"
Tao Yuwei pushed the door open with a smile. Her sudden appearance scared Fang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
They didn't expect that the person they were talking about would appear in front of them.
"Little bitch, kneel down quickly. You have caused Baichuan so much suffering. Today, you must give me, an old woman, a satisfactory explanation."
Fang's face trembled with an ugly expression, and she stood up and cursed Tao Yuwei with gritted teeth.
When Sun saw her, she walked up to her and tried to hold her hand, but she hid aside.
"Yuwei, you finally remembered us. Your coming here proves that my love for you was not in vain."
Seeing that Tao Yuwei was avoiding her, Mrs. Wu didn't take it to heart.
She understood Yuwei's personality. Even though she had exposed her shortcomings in front of her eldest brother and sister-in-law last time, this girl's temperament was actually a little unpredictable, and her thoughts changed from time to time. As long as she coaxed her well and said a few nice words, she could help the second house.
"Tsk, Second Aunt, don't waste your energy. I can't help my cousin change his position."
Tao Yuwei sat down directly at the seat beside her.
Tao Xueqi came to her senses and saw her wearing luxurious and light clothes, and her eyes turned red with jealousy.
"Yuwei, I heard that you were rewarded by the nobles in the palace again. Can you give me a few boxes of silk and satin? I'm going to arrange a marriage soon. When I marry into the Tian family, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, I can also be a help to my uncle if the General's Mansion encounters problems outside."
