"emperor"
The newly appointed chief eunuch, Eunuch Ji, called out cautiously and in a low voice beside the dragon bed.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
"Ji Kang, you'd better report something important."
Emperor Yongxi was reviewing memorials until the middle of the night and had a splitting headache. He finally managed to fall asleep by lighting some calming incense, but was then woken up. He was furious and murderous.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I dare not disturb you while you sleep. It's just that Madam Bei sounded the Shuntian Prefecture's drum..."
"Mrs. Bei?"
Emperor Yongxi was a little confused and did not react for a while.
Eunuch Ji reminded him, "It was Mrs. Bei, the wife of the Infantry Commander, who was escorted out of the palace yesterday."
Emperor Yongxi shuddered and immediately came to his senses. "Why did she beat the drum?"
He asked as he quickly got off the bed and dressed.
Eunuch Ji hurried forward to serve and report the news he had heard.
Emperor Yongxi was furious. "Killing and arson under the emperor's feet is simply lawless."
Although the hatred for having his wife stolen was irreconcilable, he still had some resentment in his heart when Bu Puyu was alive.
It is understandable that ordinary people were plotted against, but Bu Puyu had been his study partner since he was six years old, accompanying him in studying and practicing martial arts, and he was outstanding.
They had gone through so many schemes and plots, and so many deceptions, yet they fell for it so easily.
Emperor Yongxi couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.
I originally thought that after Bu Puyu returned from a year of mourning, I would be transferred out of the capital so that I wouldn't have to see Bu Puyu, Bei, and the twins all the time. Out of sight, out of mind.
But Bu Puyu contracted an epidemic.
That’s all.
When a person dies, it is like a light going out. Over the years, the resentment in Emperor Yongxi's heart has long disappeared.
Upon hearing what happened to the Bei mother and son, and what happened yesterday when his own mother drugged his son, Emperor Yongxi was furious.
"Announce Bei to enter the palace."
"No"
"Going to Shuntian Prefecture"
…
Taifu Mansion
The Grand Tutor will stay in the main courtyard tonight and sleep in his clothes.
Mrs. Taifu was not at peace. On the one hand, there was tonight's action, and on the other hand, Taifu Bu stayed overnight but did not touch her.
She is in her forties and has been well maintained, looking only about thirty. She is so beautiful and charming, but her husband would rather favor his concubine than touch her.
She is a woman and has needs too.
If she had not been so beautiful that she was envied by the jealous women in the late emperor's harem and framed to make her lose the selection, she, a lady from a high-class family, would never have married a man from a poor family like him.
If it weren't for her family's support, how could he, a poor family's top three scorers in the imperial examination, become the emperor's prince's tutor, and now the first-rank tutor.
Thinking about this, Mrs. Bu felt unfair and unwilling, and she regretted marrying Tutor Bu very much. Her life was the same with or without a man. What was the difference between this life and being a widow?
Mrs. Bu, feeling resentful, had forgotten about tonight's mission.
After Mrs. Bu's breathing gradually stabilized, Master Bu's stiff back slowly relaxed.
Tutor Bu originally married Madam Bu in order to marry into a wealthy family, and he also got the support of Yue family as he wished.
But Mrs. Bu is not only arrogant and domineering, but also cruel and ruthless, and has a vicious heart.
After her son was born and his body was injured, she gave him sterilization drugs.
So Taifu Bu only had one son for all these years.
When he learned that he had been given sterilization drugs, he was furious. The Yue family came out to mediate and calm the matter, but Master Bu still had a knot in his heart.
After that, every time they quarreled, she would take her son back to Yue's house to threaten him with this matter. She had a strong desire to control him, which made Tutor Bu feel suffocated.
When he became a little more powerful, Master Bu took in a concubine to rebel against him. Madam Bu was also cruel and killed every concubine she took in.
These concubines were either born as slaves or skinny horses given by others. They were all lowly concubines, and Madam Bu handled them in a particularly strong manner.
Naturally, Taifu Bu was unwilling to give up like this. He accepted two concubines given by the previous emperor. After all, they came from the palace and were scheming and cunning. They were also given by the emperor.
Mrs. Bu was naturally furious, but she didn't dare to kill anyone. However, she relied on her status as the main wife to set rules, found all kinds of excuses to oppress the concubines, and often ridiculed the two concubines as chickens that don't lay eggs. This undoubtedly stepped on the minefield of Master Bu.
The couple had been quarreling for most of their lives, but now Mrs. Bu has become much quieter.
But her son has always been Mrs. Bu's confidence. As long as the Taifu Mansion does not fall, she can dominate the Bu family for the rest of her life.
However, after Bu Fu's grandfather and father retired, there was no one who could control Bu Taifu.
Even her brothers from her mother's side were not up to the task and had to rely on Master Bu instead.
This made Mrs. Bu very depressed. She could be strong in other aspects, but she couldn't force her husband to have sex with her.
Feeling unhappy, Madam Bu took her anger out on her concubines and servants.
At this moment, Master Bu couldn't sleep. He suffered from insomnia.
So many things have happened over the years that have made him feel bad.
After Bu Puyu passed away, Taifu Bu was devastated, but fortunately he had two grandsons, otherwise he would have no descendants.
However, he did not expect that the deceased Bu Puyu was not his biological son, and the adopted son was a newly-appointed Jinshi.
It is somewhat difficult to accept that the son and grandson I have raised for many years are not my own.
Seeing that he looked a bit like Mrs. Bu and a bit like his son, Master Bu had no choice but to accept it.
If it weren't for the fact that his son had just been recognized and it wasn't the first or fifteenth day of the month, Master Bu wouldn't have been willing to stay overnight in Madam Bu's yard.
At this time, outside the door, Mrs. Bu's confidante was walking around anxiously.
She was a little worried about Master Bu in the bedroom, but when she thought about how such a big thing had happened, that bitch Bei not only didn't die, but also beat the drum to sue the lady.
hateful!
"Pa pa"
The confidant mother no longer cared about Master Bu, as the government officials would come soon and the truth would be hidden no longer.
"What's the matter?"
Tutor Bu stood up actively and was about to take the opportunity to go back to his study to sleep.
"Master Taifu"
The confidant mother bowed with a stiff expression, "Slave girl, slave girl..."
"Why are you hesitating?"
"Yes, it was Bei who beat the drum to report the lady."
The confidant mother said with a stiff upper lip.
boom!
Master Bu was shocked!
"It's Pu Yu's wife. Why is she beating the drum in the middle of the night? Do you know what's going on?"
"I don't know either. Perhaps there's some misunderstanding. Ever since Mrs. Bei asked to leave the house, Madam has been focusing on Master Wentao and has neglected Mrs. Bei."
My confidant mother naturally knew about it, but she couldn't tell it to Master Bu.
Tutor Bu was not stupid. He actually went to the emperor to file a complaint.
If the complaint is not true, you will be punished.
"Wake up the lady."
Grand Tutor Bu's face darkened, wondering what his wife had done to give Bei a handle, otherwise she would have been beating the drum to report the incident in the middle of the night.
Grand Tutor Bu knew that his wife was cruel and ruthless.
But Mrs. Bei and the twins are fine, what is there to sue?
Could it be Pu Yu’s death?
Master Bu was shocked and immediately shook his head. This was impossible.
At that time, Pu Yu was still their biological son. Madam always loved Pu Yu, so how could she possibly harm him?
