Chapter 260: There is news
Mother Zhang was complaining upstairs.
Some maids and old women were talking downstairs.
Even the shopkeeper and his waiter Lai Fu got involved.
There's no way, Mother Wang and Mother Zhang are both well-known people.
Today's appearance is really shocking.
When the innkeeper saw them at the door of the inn, he didn't recognize them at all.
I thought he was a beggar and almost chased him away.
Who would have thought that the person who was dressed neatly and had his hair combed meticulously yesterday would be unkempt, with messy and dirty clothes today, and walk with a limp, as if he had been hungry for ten days or so.
Especially when he saw the food on the table, his eyes lit up and he looked like he wanted to pounce on it. It was really scary.
"Do you think Madam Wang and the others got their comeuppance for forcing the young girl to become the young master's concubine?"
"I guess so. Didn't we say yesterday that the little girl is very lucky? If you offend her, you will definitely be in trouble..."
"So, the old lady broke her leg yesterday because she forced the young girl?"
"I'm afraid it's almost certain..."
After a night of word-of-mouth transmission in the "don't tell anyone" mode, the private speculations of the maids and servants in the kitchen finally spread to the lower-level servants.
Now, combined with the miserable appearance of Wang's mother and others, the speculation has become real.
Shopkeeper Wang took a sip of tea with an enigmatic look and said, "Although your Duke's Mansion is wealthy and powerful, you can't offend just any god. If this matter isn't handled properly, I'm afraid..."
Shopkeeper Wang shook his head compassionately.
The maids and servants in the Duke's Mansion looked at each other in bewilderment.
If the Duke's Mansion really fell into decline, they, the servants, would definitely not suffer any good fate.
Lai Fu, the waiter, rolled his eyes and said, "The shopkeeper is right. Don't forget, your young master hasn't woken up yet. If something goes wrong, he might never wake up again..."
"Then... Boss, in your opinion, should we tell the old lady about this?" a maid asked hurriedly.
Without waiting for the shopkeeper's reply, another maid said, "Do you really need to tell her? Madam Li already knew about this yesterday. If Madam Li didn't remind the old lady, then she definitely shouldn't have."
Another maid echoed, "That's right. Madam Li is the old lady's servant, so she naturally knows what can and cannot be said. If you say anything, you won't gain any credit, but will instead incur the master's taboo..."
"That's true..."
The old woman immediately stopped arguing.
At this moment, there was a "bang" from upstairs, and the sound of porcelain falling was heard.
Then came the old lady's angry shout.
"How ridiculous! This Su family is absolutely lawless! If we can't get them to send their daughter here, where will the reputation of our Duke Ying Mansion be?! How can we gain a foothold in the capital in the future..."
The old lady's anger seemed to pass through the crack in the door and reach downstairs.
The maids and servants downstairs looked at each other, and they all understood why Mother Li stopped talking.
The old lady is so angry, I'm afraid this matter will be fought to the end.
I just don’t know if the Duke of England’s Mansion can hold on?
Can this young master ever wake up?
Upstairs, the old lady angrily ordered Ziyun.
"Send someone to the county government office with my letter and ask County Magistrate Zheng to come see me!"
"yes."
Ziyun agreed and walked out quickly.
Mother Wang asked cautiously, "What does the old lady mean..."
The old lady snorted coldly, "Since the Su family doesn't know what's good for them, there's no need to give them face! Are the county yamen runners just there to eat for free? No matter how barbaric and ignorant those unruly people are, do they dare to confront the government?"
Mother Wang opened her mouth, but hesitated to speak.
Mother Zhang said happily, "The old lady is wise! She should severely destroy the prestige of the Su family and let them know that with just a flick of her little finger, she can destroy their family! How dare you dare to tamper with the Tai Sui? You are really tired of living..."
After hearing what Mother Zhang said, the old lady felt a little better.
"Okay, go down and wash up and eat something." said the old lady.
"Thank you, ma'am."
Mother Zhang achieved her goal and left happily.
Chuntao and Chuncao were only third-class maids. They could only show up in front of the old lady and had no room to speak, so they also retreated.
Mother Wang walked to the door and then walked back.
"Madam, I have something to report."
"What's going on?"
Mother Wang didn't say anything and glanced at Zizhu.
The old lady waved her hand, and Zizhu quickly lowered her head and retreated.
Only the old lady and Mother Wang were left in the room.
"Go ahead." said the old lady.
Mother Wang stepped forward and whispered, "Madam, I heard some news about Lord Fude on the road yesterday."
"What news?" The old lady frowned, a little impatient.
She was severely humiliated by the Su family and hated them to death.
Even though she still wanted Xiao Tangbao to bring good luck to her grandson, she already hated Xiao Tangbao in her heart.
"It's like this, old lady. I heard there's a famous private school in Fengwei Town..."
Mother Wang briefly told the old lady about the failure of the Li family's private school and how Huang Laizi lost half his life.
Finally, he recounted how unlucky and miserable he and his people were, and how miserable his journey was.
"Old Madam, in my opinion, the Su family is really not easy to mess with..." Mother Wang said tentatively, "Why not give up this marriage..."
"Give up?" The old lady gave a bitter laugh and said, "You know Jin'er is still in a coma. If this little girl is really blessed by God, then we can't give up this marriage."
When the old lady said this, the expression on her face became firm and a hint of ruthlessness appeared in her eyes.
Then, he continued, "No matter what means I use, I will get that little girl home and let her protect Jin'er's well-being! Even if it means going to hell, I'm willing..."
She would never sit idly by and watch the Duke's bloodline die out without a successor.
While the old lady was busy in Fengqi County, the Duke of Yingguo in the capital was impeached in the court.
The reasons for impeachment are varied, and even the origin of the British dukedom has been given a gimmick that is unjustifiable and unworthy of the position.
Not only that, it also involved the incident of the Duke of England's niece Lin Wanru falling off a cliff, which was also because the uncle Duke of England Lin Hong did not treat his niece well.
In particular, some old friends of the former Duke of England Lin Peng expressed serious dissatisfaction with the current Duke of England Lin Hong.
They said he was ungrateful, treated the orphan girl harshly, etc.
As a result, the entire morning court turned into a criticism meeting against Duke Lin Hong of England.
Duke Yingguo Lin Hong was criticized in the court. After returning home, he stood in the study, looking at the big words "loyalty, benevolence and filial piety" hanging on the wall, and was speechless for a long time.
These words were written by his elder brother Lin Peng.
My eldest brother was loyal and righteous throughout his life. He was devoted to his friends, and was kind, loyal, and filial to his family and the king. It's a pity that he died young.
But he failed to protect his eldest brother's only daughter...
Lin Hong felt a pain in his heart.
He was the one who let down his elder brother.
He failed to live up to his elder brother's expectations.
It was him...
"Your Excellency, there is news regarding the search for the ancestral home of the eldest young lady's wet nurse, You."
The butler's voice came from outside the door.
Lin Hong turned around suddenly...
