"Isn't there a Heavenly Law here? How dare that old monk?"
It is almost unbelievable that he would dare to do such a vicious thing for his own selfish desires among so many people.
"He had something in his hand that could obscure the way of heaven. Fortunately, we arrived in time. The old monk was already dead, and that place was already destroyed. Something like this will never happen again."
"Then what did you just say about the Eighth Lady? Why is she there again?"
Wasn't it said that the old monk captured unmarried girls? How did the Eighth Lady get there?
"She went there on her own. Someone saw her leaving the city gate. I guess she was the one who sent some of the girls who disappeared two days ago."
Wen Mianmian's eyes were filled with surprise, but she was deeply shocked. "She did this without fear that one day her crime would be exposed and she would be implicated."
My goodness, this Eighth Lady is getting more and more backward in her thinking.
"I have reported this matter to the emperor. He will make the decision once he knows about it." But it is likely that there will be no good result.
After all, this matter is very serious and concerns the reputation of the royal family. No matter what, the emperor will not let it go easily.
——
In the Palace of Heavenly Purity, Emperor Kangxi was furious when he heard that the Eighth Concubine was involved in the girl's disappearance.
With a "pop", a fine inkstone was smashed out.
"How dare this old Eighth Lady! She is going to bring shame upon our royal family."
Seeing how angry Emperor Kangxi was, Liang Jiugong quickly advised, "Your Majesty, please don't be angry for now. Perhaps there is something else going on."
Emperor Kangxi turned his head and looked at him angrily, "There must be something else going on. What could it be? If she hadn't gone there herself, she would have appeared there."
"She has caused so much trouble over the years, and Old Eight's house has been made a mess by her."
"This Eighth Brother is also unable to control his own wife. If I had known this, I should not have let him marry her."
I don't know what's wrong with this old guy. I saw him doing well before and thought he was making progress, but it didn't take long for him to go back to his old ways.
He even took the child born by his concubine to Guo Luoluo to raise.
Didn't he know what kind of person Guo Luoluo was? The child was almost killed by her after being raised by her for less than two or three months.
If the wet nurse who took care of the child had not informed his concubine in time, the child might have died long ago.
Thinking of this, Emperor Kangxi's anger reached its peak.
He looked at Liang Jiugong and said, "Go and do something for me..."
Liang Jiugong walked respectfully up to Emperor Kangxi and listened to what Emperor Kangxi whispered in his ear.
Liang Jiugong's pupils trembled violently, and then he responded.
"Yes, I will go right away."
"Go call Lao Ba over to me later."
"Yes~"
Liang Jiugong sighed in his heart and walked out.
Eighth Master's Mansion
The Eighth Master was handling official business in his study when someone came to report that the Ninth Master was coming.
Before the Eighth Master could say anything, the Ninth Master walked in hurriedly.
"Myna~"
Jiu Ye looked at him and hurried over to him as he was sitting there handling official business.
"Myna, how can you still be in the mood to handle official business here? There's a big commotion outside."
"What happened outside? And why are you so anxious?" Mr. Ba saw that his face looked a little unhappy. Could it be that something happened that he didn't know about?
"It's about Eighth Sister-in-law..."
Then he told him everything he had heard outside.
After hearing this, Mr. Ba's pupils suddenly trembled. He stood up and staggered, but fortunately he grabbed the armrest of the chair in time.
"Myna~" Jiu Ye stepped forward and supported him.
He clenched his hand, turned his head to look at his ninth brother, and thought there was something wrong with his ears. He couldn't believe it and said, "Everything you said is true."
"It's absolutely true. There's a huge uproar going on outside right now because of this."
The Fourth Master did not try to hide this matter. His purpose in doing so was to give the Eighth Master a good blow. Of course, he also had some selfish motives. It was because the Eighth Master's wife had harmed his child and Mianmian. Now that he finally had this opportunity, he would certainly not let her go so easily.
"Eighth brother, this matter has caused quite a stir outside, and the eldest sister-in-law has been sent back by the fourth brother's people."
He was very worried that this incident would bring bad trouble to the starling.
Many people are now vying for that position, and Bage is no exception. But now that this has happened, Jiu Ye also hates Bage's wife a little. Isn't this causing trouble for Bage?
Once this matter comes out, many people in the court who support the myna will definitely turn against him. Moreover, if the emperor knows about this, he will definitely be furious, and all their previous efforts will be wasted.
They have been planning carefully for so many years and finally got to this point, just one step away from success. Suddenly, the Eighth Sister-in-law caused such a thing again. Isn't this a deliberate attempt to discredit the Eighth Brother?
"Myna, what should we do now?"
Just when the Eighth Master wanted to speak, the servant's voice was heard outside again.
"Eighth Master, this is bad. A lot of people have gathered at the gate of the mansion, all demanding an explanation from the Eighth Lady."
Obviously, these people are the families of the missing girls. They came here when they knew that the Eighth Lady was involved in this matter.
Most of those girls just fainted due to excessive blood loss, and only a few of them could not be saved because of their poor physical condition and excessive blood loss.
Although most of them are fine, their daughters were kidnapped for so many days, how will they get married in the future?
In this dynasty, if a woman's reputation was damaged even a little, it would be very difficult for her to get married in the future.
No matter what, no matter who she is, they must be given an explanation, otherwise they will continue to make trouble and even file a complaint with the emperor.
Among these girls were not only ordinary people, but also daughters of wealthy businessmen.
When the old monk arrested people, he did not investigate their family background. He would just knock them unconscious and take them away if they were girls.
Jiu Ye was horrified and turned to look at Bage, "Bage, what should we do now?"
It seems that this matter has really become a big deal.
The Eighth Master clenched his fists tightly, suppressing the anger in his heart with all his might. He suppressed his anger and said, "Go out and take a look."
Just as he walked out of the door, someone from the main courtyard came and said that the Eighth Lady had lost too much blood and the court doctor said that her life might be in danger.
"Get out of here." The Eighth Master shouted coldly.
It would be better for this woman to die for doing such a thing. Otherwise, after he has dealt with this matter, he will not let her go no matter what.
The servants in the main courtyard were frightened by the fierce look of the Eighth Master.
I had something to say, but I swallowed it back in an instant.
