Zhang, who ran to the yamen to make a scene, was ruthlessly driven out by the officers and soldiers.
He also warned her that if she dared to make trouble again, she would be thrown into prison as well.
Now this matter has been brought before His Majesty. His Majesty is wholeheartedly on the side of the people and has never favored any of his subjects, which has given them great confidence.
Zhang left the government office cursing. On the way back, she heard the people praising Jiang Jingyu's actions yesterday. She immediately rushed back to the general's mansion in anger and went straight to the Nanyuan where Jiang Jingyu was.
"You little bitch, it's you who put An'er in jail. Get out, get out right here!"
Before Zhang even reached Nanyuan, she started cursing. Qiu Shuang and Dong Xu were startled and quickly put down their brooms and ran out of the yard.
"Ma'am, why are you here?"
Zhang ignored the two of them and rushed straight to Nanyuan.
"Where's that little bitch Jiang Jingyu? Tell her to get out here!"
Dong Xu frowned and said, "Madam, the young lady has gone to the shop and hasn't come back yet. If you have anything to say, please tell me first. I will pass it on to the young lady when she comes back."
Qiu Shuang and Dong Xu have served Jiang Jingyu for many years and have become accustomed to calling her "Miss".
Zhang was unwilling to admit that Jiang Jingyu was the young lady of their general's mansion from the bottom of her heart, and naturally she didn't care about their titles.
"Tell you? Who do you think you are! Go, go and call that little bitch Jiang Jingyu back to me. She actually dared to put An'er in jail. I will never let her go!"
Jiang Jingyu heard Zhang's shouting as soon as she walked near Nanyuan. She curled her lips and bought nightmare doll powder from the mall.
I originally thought that I would have to deal with Zhang for a few more days, but I didn't expect her to be so impatient. Since the head was delivered to my door, there was no reason for Jiang Jingyu to refuse it.
Jiang Jingyu walked into Nanyuan calmly: "Who made mother so angry?"
After hearing her voice, Zhang turned around: "You little bitch, how dare you ask? You caused An'er to go to jail, I will never let you go!"
As Zhang spoke, she rushed towards Jiang Jingyu. Qiu Shuang and Dong Xu were startled and hurriedly grabbed her arms.
"If you want to hurt our lady, you have to get past us first!"
Qiu Shuang and Dong Xu have always protected their master, but now that Zhang is coming with such force, they don't care about status or inferiority!
"Let me go! Let me go! This damned little bitch actually dared to frame An'er. I'm going to tear her mouth apart today!"
Zhang struggled hard, and the curses she uttered became more and more unpleasant.
Jiang Jingyu was not annoyed and walked towards Zhang.
"I framed him? Mother, if I hadn't stopped him yesterday, he would have killed someone in the street!"
"As the son of an official, yet he doesn't strictly abide by the laws of the dynasty, if someone dies, it won't be my uncle who will be stabbed in the back in the future, but the general, the head of the family!"
"Do you want the general to become a mere after-dinner conversation among the common people of the imperial city, leaving an indelible stain on his career?"
"Mother, ask yourself, the general and my uncle are both your children. Are you being too biased?"
"You enjoy the blessing that the general earned through his own battles on the battlefield, yet you indulge your uncle in everything. Mother, when will you ever be able to put yourself in the general's shoes and think about him?"
Jiang Jingyu looked at Zhang with disappointment, but at the same time, she couldn't hide her heartache.
Zhang's heart had long been crooked but she was unaware of it. She roared in anger and spit flew everywhere.
"Am I partial? An'er is the younger brother, and it's only natural for an older brother to protect his younger brother! Qian'er is the head of the family, and it's his duty to protect his family!"
"Mother, aren't you afraid of chilling the general's heart? The general is also your son, a man of flesh and blood who needs your love!"
"Shut up! Stop stirring up trouble here, you little bitch! If you dare to contradict me, I'll take you to the heir hall and punish you according to the family rules!"
Zhang struggled hard, and her recklessness was so strong that even the two maids, Qiu Shuang and Dong Xu, could not control her.
Just as Zhang was about to break free from her restraints, two servants ran in and grabbed Zhang from Qiu Shuang and Dong Xu's hands.
"Let me go! Let me go! Open your dog eyes and see who I am!"
Zhang glared at the two servants viciously, wishing she could eat them alive!
The two servants didn't answer, but said to Jiang Jingyu: "I'm sorry to trouble you, Madam. I will take you away right away!"
After saying this, the two men ignored Zhang's curses and struggles and forcibly dragged her towards the gate of Nanyuan Courtyard.
As she passed by Jiang Jingyu, she moved her fingertips slightly and silently sprinkled the nightmare doll powder on Zhang.
The two servants just now were not from Zhang's courtyard, they were obviously sent by Zhou Huaiqian.
After sending Zhang back to the front yard, the two servants returned to Qingfeng Garden where Zhou Huaiqian was to report.
The two of them repeated what had just happened and what Jiang Jingyu and Zhang said word for word.
Zhou Huaiqian sat on the chair, his hands against his forehead, his eyes closed with an irritated look on his face, and listened quietly to the unbearable words that Zhang said.
After the servant noticed Zhou Huaiqian's displeasure, his voice became softer and softer, until it finally became as soft as a mosquito's buzzing sound.
Zhou Huaiqian said coldly: "Speak!"
He wanted to see what other unbearable words his mother could say!
The servant took a deep breath and continued to retell the conversation between Zhang and Jiang Jingyu.
Fortunately, Zhang finished her words after a few sentences, and the servant continued to repeat Jiang Jingyu's words.
Zhou Huaiqian, who had originally closed his eyes, slowly opened them and listened quietly to the servant's retelling. As the last word fell, Zhou Huaiqian raised his eyes and looked at the servant.
"Did she really say all these things?"
"General, these are what Madam said to the old lady. I dare not lie!"
"Okay, I understand. Keep a close eye on the old lady and don't let her cause any more trouble."
"Yes, General."
…
That night, the sky was pouring down like ink.
Song Wenjing was still in the imperial study dealing with memorials and didn't even have dinner.
Eunuch Su came in carrying ginseng soup. "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother ordered the imperial kitchen to prepare some ginseng soup. Your Majesty, would you like to have some first?"
Song Wenjing lowered his eyes, watching intently, and did not respond.
Eunuch Su had no choice but to raise his voice and call out twice: "Your Majesty? Your Majesty?"
Song Wenjing came to his senses and put the letter down pretending to be calm.
"What is it?"
Eunuch Su stepped forward and approached the desk. "The Empress Dowager learned that Your Majesty was too busy with official business today to have dinner, so she specifically ordered the Imperial Kitchen to prepare ginseng soup for Your Majesty. Would you like to drink it while it's hot?"
Song Wenjing flicked his wide sleeves slightly, raised his big hand and took the ginseng soup.
When he withdrew his hand, his wide sleeves accidentally threw the memorial, which was as tall as a mountain, to the ground.
Eunuch Su hurriedly bent down to pick up the memorial and put it back in its place. Just as he was about to stand up and step aside, his eyes accidentally caught a glimpse of the portrait hidden under the memorial!
Eunuch Su: “!!!”
Isn't this a portrait of the General's wife? How did it end up in the Imperial Study? And buried beneath the memorials to His Majesty?!
Eunuch Su was greatly shocked but did not show it on his face. He pretended to be calm, straightened his back, and stepped aside in an orderly manner.
Song Wenjing didn't notice Eunuch Su's strange behavior. He was holding the ginseng soup and was about to drink it all -
