In the side hall of the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion.
Rong Xiu looked at his mother who was sitting in the main seat drinking tea in confusion, scratched his head and asked, "Mom, what are you doing?"
The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo raised her eyelids, suddenly put down the teacup in her hand heavily, and shouted coldly: "Kneel down!"
Rong Xiu's body froze, he lifted up his skirt and knelt on the ground, mumbling softly: "What happened again?"
"You are getting bolder now! You even robbed the water prison!" The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo glared at Rong Xiu and said angrily.
"Why would I rob that thing for no reason?" Rong Xiu was puzzled and shouted aggrievedly: "Besides, our water prison has been empty for many years..."
The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo looked at him suspiciously: "Did you really not let Hua Yuanzhao out?"
"Zhao Zhao?" Rong Xiu jumped up and asked anxiously, "Why is Zhao Zhao in our dungeon? Didn't you say she was gone?"
"Zhao Zhao?" Lady Zhenguo repeated in a drawn-out tone, squinting at him dangerously.
"Miss Hua." Rong Xiu quickly changed the subject and asked the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo: "Where is Miss Hua now?"
The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo snorted coldly: "He ran away."
"Where can she run to?" Rong Xiu was anxious: "Now the entire Dali Temple is looking for her..."
As he said this, he wanted to run outside. If Zhao Zhao was found by those people from the Dali Temple first, who knows what would happen to him!
"Stop right there!" The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo slammed the table and shouted angrily, "I think you are blinded by greed. For the sake of Hua Yuanzhao, you don't even care about your sister's life or death!"
"What does this have to do with Lin'an?" Rong Xiu had a headache: "Didn't I say yesterday that Lin'an's affairs had nothing to do with her? Those are just rumors outside!"
Nanny Gu, who was standing next to Madam Rong, reminded her, "My Lord, at first Madam only wanted to invite Miss Hua to come to the mansion to treat the princess, but Miss Hua refused to agree, so Madam ordered her to be imprisoned in the water dungeon..."
"What?" Rong Xiu's expression changed immediately: "Mom, why are you so unreasonable!"
The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo immediately changed her expression. Nanny Gu said hurriedly, "Madam is only doing this for the princess. Prince, as your elder brother..."
"Brother? I don't have that kind of sister who is spoiled to the point of being lawless!" Rong Xiu blurted out.
"Then you don't have a mother as tyrannical and overbearing as me?" Lady Zhenguogong asked coldly.
Rong Xiu was speechless. He stood in front of the door and looked at the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo for a long time. He just felt that the person in front of him was very strange.
He stood there for a long time, and suddenly said, "Mother...if you continue to favor Lin'an, the Zhenguo Mansion will be in trouble sooner or later!"
After he said that, he turned around and left. His shadow was stretched very long on the ground and soon disappeared.
Nanny Gu hesitated for a moment, then lowered her voice and asked the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, "Madam, do you really think that Miss Hua is the real murderer?"
The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo glanced at her and said nothing.
Nanny Gu is of the same age as the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo. She once studied literature and martial arts with the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo and went to the battlefield together. Although she is a girl, she is comparable to a military strategist and has military merits.
Therefore, she was not vague when she said these words. She continued, "Forgive me for being frank, but I feel that Miss Hua is incapable of entering the palace to harm others, and bringing up the matter of Princess Qionghui will not benefit Miss Hua at all..."
There must be a motive for harming people, right?
If it's not for revenge, then it's for profit, but no matter which side it is, it has nothing to do with Miss Hua, right?
Unexpectedly, the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo laughed. She glanced at Nanny Gu and asked softly, "When did I feel that she was harming people?"
But if she didn't do this, how could she stimulate this young boy Rong Xiu?
Letting this kid run around in front make it easier for her to find out who is behind it.
She wanted to see who was attacking her daughter!
"The ghost rumors have disturbed the palace. If this continues, the young lady of the Hua family will be pushed out as a scapegoat." The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo said lightly, "It is not safe for her to stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion."
She deliberately caused trouble and made Hua Yuanzhao refuse to treat her illness, just to put her in a water dungeon and save her life temporarily.
And if it really came to a last resort, Hua Yuanzhao would be labeled a murderer, and her imprisonment of Hua Yuanzhao in a water dungeon would also allow the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion to distance itself from her.
"However, someone actually rescued her..." The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo said meaningfully: "It seems that this matter needs to be reconsidered..."
…
In the Prime Minister's mansion, there was chaos again because of the disappearance of Fuling who was imprisoned in the firewood room.
Aunt Su knelt in the main hall of Fushou Hall, wiping away tears. "Originally, Fuling was locked up just to be on the safe side, but who would have thought that Zhao'er would rescue her..."
This departure would prove that Hua Yuanzhao was harming people! If she wasn't guilty, why would she run away at this time?
"It's a pity that my elder sister died early, and I was just a concubine. I had no right to discipline the young lady, which led to such a big mistake..." Aunt Su said tearfully, and her eyes were full of sadness when she glanced at Prime Minister Hua.
Hua Yuanshan followed suit and wiped her tears. Following Aunt Su's instructions, she said, "Now the only way is to find my elder sister and send her to the government as soon as possible so that the Prime Minister's Office can redeem itself from its crimes."
Madam Hua listened for a long while with a gloomy face, and then she suppressed her anger and asked, "How do you plan to find her?"
Aunt Su's heart skipped a beat, but she suppressed her excitement and said through gritted teeth, "Filial piety comes first. As long as we spread the word that we want to move sister's grave out of the Hua family's ancestral graveyard, we will definitely be able to lure Zhao'er out!"
That bitch had been moved out of the Hua family's ancestral tomb, so how could she be considered Prime Minister Hua's legal wife?
