"Master, what do you think?" Wen Mianmian would definitely not let the Eighth Lady go, and she believed that the master must have the same idea.
The Fourth Master's face was terribly dark. "Don't worry, Mianmian. Even if the evidence is conclusive, I won't let her go, as the Eighth Master's wife has such vicious intentions."
"Master, I want to use my own methods to deal with this matter. This Eighth Lady usually bullies me and mocks me, which is fine, but this time she was so vicious that she wanted to take advantage of Xuanxuan and the others. I absolutely cannot tolerate this. I want her to pay the price for her actions."
She placed the purse designed with smallpox stains next to Xuanxuan and Chenchen. This was simply an attempt to kill them. She was so cruel that she even attacked a child. This Eighth Lady was despicable. A hint of ruthlessness flashed across Wen Mianmian's eyes.
"Okay, just do it. I'll be behind you. You can do whatever you want."
The Fourth Master held Mianmian's hand, with a cold look in his eyes.
Naturally, he would not let that woman go, and as for Old Eight, he couldn't even manage his own wife, so don't blame him for helping him discipline her.
Wen Mianmian felt relieved when she heard what the Fourth Master said.
——
The next day, all kinds of rumors spread in the streets and alleys of the capital.
At first, it was just a rumor among the common people. They said that the Eighth Lady of the Eighth Master's Mansion couldn't stand the princess sent by the Emperor to the Eighth Prince, so she tortured her to death, stabbing her with needles, beating her with sticks, and slapping her in the face. She beat her until her nose and face were swollen and broken...
For a time, these topics were circulating among ordinary people. In less than half a day, these rumors became more and more intense. They all said that the Eighth Lady was too evil. She sent a good girl to their house to be a princess, but she beat her into that state. It was said that she was half dead.
Not only that, some people also said that not only those two princesses, but also other princesses and concubines in her mansion had been tormented by this Eighth Lady, and every time she beat them terribly, and even beat someone to death.
He also said that the Eighth Prince was too cowardly and couldn't even control his own wife, allowing her to torment his concubine. He also said that the Eighth Wife was infertile. She had been married to the Eighth Prince for a long time, but there was still no movement in her belly.
Not only was he unable to have children himself, he also prevented his concubines from having children. He also cruelly tortured those concubines who were already pregnant, causing them to never get pregnant again. He also made them drink a contraceptive drug, so that they could never have their own children again...
All the evil and vicious acts of the Eighth Concubine were revealed on this day. There were even rumors that the Eighth Concubine did not have a good face towards the Eighth Prince's mother, Concubine Liang. It was said that every time she entered the palace to pay her respects to Concubine Liang, the Eighth Concubine was disdainful and condescending, and did not treat Concubine Liang as her mother-in-law at all.
In short, on this day, many people said that the Eighth Lady was vicious, a cruel woman, and a jealous woman. The Eighth Lady's bad reputation was completely known to everyone.
Especially the families of the princesses in the Eighth Master's Mansion were a little worried about their daughters when they learned about this, but they were all bondservants or had low official positions, so they did not dare to do anything.
It was difficult for the two of them to pass on news into the Eighth Master's mansion, let alone know how they were doing in the mansion.
The Eighth Prince didn't know about this at first, until the Ninth and Tenth Princes looked at him with strange expressions, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, the Eighth Prince knew without thinking that something was wrong.
Then he took them aside and asked them what had happened. When he learned what had happened, Mr. Ba's face instantly dropped to freezing point. His expression was so gloomy that it could scare people to death.
When the Ninth and Tenth Brothers saw the look on Eighth Brother's face, they felt a little nervous, but when they thought about it, no one would be in a good mood if he was called a loser and couldn't control his wife.
But this Eighth Sister-in-law is too cruel. They were all frightened when they heard the rumors in the streets. They never expected that the Eighth Sister-in-law was such a person in private.
Although they knew that Eighth Sister-in-law had a somewhat domineering personality, they did not expect that she would be so cruel to the people in her own backyard.
Especially after hearing about those heinous methods, the Ninth Prince was somewhat glad that his wife was not that kind of person. If she was like the Eighth Sister-in-law, wouldn't her family lineage be cut off?
Jiu Ye felt that he was thinking too much. His wife was gentle and considerate, and was good to him. She was completely different from Eighth Sister-in-law. There was no way his wife would be like Eighth Sister-in-law.
Besides, he couldn't allow a woman to ride on his head. If he did that, he would lose his dignity as a royal prince.
He also felt that the rumors were true. It was because Eighth Brother did not manage Eighth Sister-in-law well that Eighth Sister-in-law treated the princesses and concubines in the mansion in such a way.
If my brother had been tougher on my sister-in-law, she would never have dared to do such a thing. The main reason was that my brother had not managed her well.
However, he didn't dare to say what he was thinking in front of the starling, as it would hurt the starling's self-esteem.
Seeing that their Eighth Brother looked unhappy, the Ninth and Tenth Masters quickly spoke up, "Eighth Brother, could this be a misunderstanding? Why don't you go back and ask Eighth Sister-in-law? Maybe this is just a rumor spread by someone else."
"Yes, Brother Myna, this matter has not been investigated clearly yet, so don't get angry first." Master Shi also advised.
However, everyone knew in their hearts that this matter was probably true. After all, they had heard a little about how Eighth Sister-in-law treated the people in Eighth Brother's backyard.
However, I didn't expect this matter to be spread out, and I don't know who did it. If this matter is not handled properly, it will have a great impact on the starling.
Especially with the Emperor, this matter caused a lot of uproar and it would sooner or later reach his ears.
I don’t know what Myna will do by then. The Emperor was already very dissatisfied with His Majesty’s Sister-in-law. This time, His Majesty’s Sister-in-law has made such a mess of the person that His Majesty chose for Myna. Isn’t this a blatant opposition to His Majesty?
Jiu Ye felt that marrying someone like Ba Ge's wife would be a burden to Ba Ge.
It would be bad enough that she hasn't given birth to a child for all these years, but she doesn't allow others to have children and even feeds them infertile drugs. Only a vicious person would do such a thing.
Alas, the starling has not had a child for so many years. It’s quite sympathetic to think about it.
"I understand. Thank you, Ninth Brother and Tenth Brother, for telling me about this. I'll go back first." After saying that, the Eighth Master left with a grim expression.
After all, anyone who hears such a thing would find it unbearable, not to mention being called a coward by outsiders. The Eighth Master really regretted marrying such a wife.
He also felt a little resentful towards the Emperor, asking why he chose such a wife for him. He used to think that he was a little overbearing and arrogant, but she was his wife after all, so he turned a blind eye and didn't take it too seriously.
