Chapter 472: The Way is Higher
Miaomiao opened her mouth.
The Empress Dowager was so angry that she fainted.
If she died of anger or became ill from anger, she would be suspected of murdering the Empress Dowager.
You'll get a few beatings depending on your height.
If the case is more serious, the offender may be sent to prison or beheaded.
Otherwise, I will not be able to explain to the ministers and the Mu family.
Everyone's heart was hanging in the balance.
It was not until the imperial physician came to diagnose and said that the Empress Dowager was not seriously injured that Lu Qingyao and her daughter breathed a sigh of relief.
After bidding farewell to the Queen and the Queen Mother, he left the palace without looking back.
They say that this palace is not a good place and something bad will definitely happen as soon as you enter.
As a result, I almost lost my life.
Lu Qingyao was scared just thinking about it.
Miaomiao didn't dare to breathe. She was carried away by A Niang and Aunt Xiuxiu, one on each side, and she felt like her feet didn't even touch the ground.
He didn't stop until he was out of the palace.
Coincidentally, godfather was waiting for them at the palace gate.
But A'niang seemed to be avoiding suspicion, or was still angry, and had no intention of paying attention to him.
Ignoring him, she walked right past him and got on the carriage.
Mu Yunji opened his mouth, wanting to say something but stopping himself. He didn't know whether to stand or walk.
He is the most depressed.
Yaoyao had just opened her heart to him, and before they had even started dating, they were torn apart by her aunt.
I wanted to talk to my aunt, but I couldn't even see her.
Miaomiao looked at her pitiful godfather.
I wanted to say something, but found that I had nothing to say.
She was on A Niang's side.
It is a fact that the Duke's Mansion needs an heir to inherit the title, it is also a fact that A Niang is unable to give birth, and it is also a fact that the Empress Dowager is obstructing it and even trying to frame A Niang.
There are so many mountains between them that it is difficult to cross.
Moreover, she discovered something very infuriating and needed to let her godfather know.
"Godfather, the Empress Dowager just spoke to Mother, asking her to stop bothering you and to leave the capital. Mother refused and argued with the Empress Dowager for a few words before fainting. When the imperial physician felt her pulse, I saw her fingers moving and her eyelids twitching..."
Mu Yunji's face darkened as he squatted in front of Miaomiao: "What did the imperial physician say?"
"The imperial physician was about to speak when he was called away by the Empress. Later she said there was nothing serious, so we left." Miaomiao stopped there and did not elaborate.
Fortunately, my aunt was there. She saw through the situation and warned the imperial physician, otherwise the Empress Dowager might have developed some illness.
When the time comes, I will definitely try to frame my mother and take the opportunity to punish her.
The old lady is already very old, but she is more cunning than a sieve.
She is indeed an old fox. I almost fell into her trap.
However, the devil is one foot high, but the Tao is ten feet higher.
It was her retribution that she met her own niece who ruined her career.
Looking at his godfather's dark face, Miaomiao asked, "Godfather, will the eyelids and mouth corners of a fainted person move?"
"No." Lu Yunji's face was extremely ugly. He turned around and instructed his followers: "Help me submit a letter of resignation to the emperor tomorrow."
Resign?
He actually wants to resign!
This is clearly an attempt to go against the Empress Dowager.
This move of godfather is amazing.
Before Miaomiao could react from her surprise, she was suddenly picked up and said, "You and the eldest princess are riding in the same carriage. Godfather has something to say to your mother."
As Mu Yunji spoke, he carried the little girl to Princess Yuqing, and he lifted the curtain and jumped onto another carriage.
Lu Qingyao was startled when she saw him: "What are you doing up here?"
Mu Yunji sat down opposite her, his eyes gentle and affectionate, his tone extremely gentle: "Yaoyao, I know everything about the palace. Regardless of whether you can give birth or not, my feelings for you have never changed since I was a teenager. What I care about is you, Lu Qingyao, not the woman who will give birth to my offspring. Although there are regrets, I don't regret it. Life is bound to have regrets of this or that kind, but compared to the regret of losing you again, I would rather not have offspring. I know you don't like being trapped in the harem, so I will marry a woman and follow her. I will accompany you to do what you want and go wherever you want to go, to see the mountains, the snow, the sea, and the lonely smoke in the desert..."
Lu Qingyao pursed her lips and asked, "What about your title of Duke?"
"I had already thought about it when I came here. I would adopt someone from the clan, or else I would adopt Cheng An under my name. Anyway, that kid almost grew up in the Duke's Mansion."
"What about your aunt? She won't agree."
"She can't control me."
Mu Yunji blurted out everything that he had hidden in his heart.
He knew that if he didn't say it, he would never have another chance.
Lu Qingyao looked at the usually taciturn man, who seemed to have opened a chatterbox and a window today.
The sunlight shines through the window into her heart, making her feel warm.
If you ask her if she is moved, of course she is.
Some people talk a lot but may not be able to do it. Maybe they are sincere when they say it, but they forget it as time goes by.
But Mu Yunji is different.
He doesn't say things easily, but once he does, he will do it with all his might, even if it means he will be torn to pieces.
When his father and brother died in battle.
He swore to cut off the heads of his enemies with his own hands and offer them as sacrifices, and he did it.
He said he would help the Lu family redress their wrongdoings, and he did it.
There were even many things he didn't want her to know, such as Yipinju and all the arrangements in his house back in Beijing.
He did it all.
She trusted Mu Yunji, was grateful to him, and liked him.
Mu Yunji can give her everything she wants, but she can't give him anything, and if she's not careful, he will be alienated by everyone.
She couldn't be that selfish.
The Grand Empress Dowager is the backbone of the entire Mu family. How could the Mu family members recognize the Duke's wife if she is not recognized by her?
There will be no result
Lu Qingyao felt a little guilty and didn't dare to look into Mu Yunji's eyes.
This person is very stubborn. If I don't take care of him all the way back to the capital, he might politely decline the offer if we are together every day.
But he won't believe anything you say now.
He wanted to get over it first: "Brother Mu, please give me some time to think about it."
"how long?"
Mu Yunji squatted in front of her, looking at her with burning eyes, which made her cheeks hot.
"Wait until Yan'er finishes his imperial examination, wait until Feng'er gets married... wait..."
"I'll wait as long as it takes, until you've resolved all your concerns."
“…”
"Bang!" The carriage stopped.
Xiuxiu's voice came from outside the curtain: "Sister, our carriage seems to have hit someone. I'll go down and take a look."
Xiuxiu took a look and turned back: "Sister, don't show up, leave this person to me."
"Is he an acquaintance?" From Xiuxiu's tone, she knew that person, and he might even be a trouble.
"Well, I'll deal with the old woman from the Jiang family."
"Okay, don't give anyone a chance to talk." Lu Qingyao didn't want anyone to see Mu Yunji in her car, so she didn't even lift the curtain.
Mu Yunji also cooperated and didn't say a word.
Miaomiao heard the noise and curiously lifted the curtain to take a look.
Wow! A car crash can happen on such a wide road.
She had reason to suspect it was a scam.
But someone dared to vandalize the princess's car. He must not want to live anymore.
Then I heard the man arguing with Aunt Xiuxiu, as if Aunt Xiuxiu was driving him away: "Take the money and get out of here quickly. Don't let me see you again."
"Move aside, I am Princess Mingzhu's grandmother, I want to see my granddaughter..."
"There is no princess here, get lost."
"You're kidding! This is Lu Qingyao's carriage. My granddaughter Miaomiao must be on it. Let me take a look and then I'll leave."
Miaomiao was startled, she recognized the voice.
It was really a scam, but the carriage it hit was not the princess's, but A-niang's.
She pulled aside the curtain and looked at the person behind her: "I am here, what are you yelling about?"
Old Mrs. Jiang realized that she was crying in the wrong car, so she hurried over and reached out to grab her hand, but was stopped by Xier.
Not knowing what to do, she just walked around and sat down in front of the princess car and cried.
He cried miserably with tears and snot all over his face.
It makes people feel irritated.
It seems like I'm being blackmailed today and there's no way to escape.
Miaomiao was a little panicked.
Princess Yuqing always dealt with people like this with violence. She directly scolded them, "Who is this blind man who dares to stop my carriage? I'm afraid he thinks his life is too long. Come, drag him away."
The guard stepped forward and was about to take action.
Old Mrs. Jiang screamed as if someone was trying to kill her, and cried even harder.
She cried to the carriage, "Miaomiao, you are my granddaughter, your father's daughter. Your father is in dire straits now. He can't even afford medicine and can't afford to treat his illness. How can you just stand by and watch him die? Even if your father didn't raise you, he gave you life. You can't just ignore him..."
As she cried like this, more and more people gathered around her.
This is a main street with a lot of cars and people, and now it is completely blocked.
There are gossips in the capital every day, but gossips about the Jiang family have not been heard for a long time, and what is in front of us is still the princess's carriage.
The people immediately became curious and stopped to look.
Lu Qingyao was worried that her daughter couldn't hold on, so she was about to lift the curtain and go out.
Then I heard a childish voice: "Your son is dead. Why are you mourning like this? Do you need me to bring you a coffin?"
"You...you...you are an unfilial son. I am your grandmother. It's fine if you don't respect me, but how can you curse your father? You are so unfilial."
"If you're not dead, why are you crying?" Miaomiao looked innocent and confused.
It instantly makes people feel that the little girl really doesn’t understand, and that the old lady has ulterior motives.
Old Mrs. Jiang was furious. After she finished saying what her son had taught her, she began to speak without restraint: "You silly girl, you ate and drank well at the Jiang family before, pretending to be well-behaved, and took away a lot of my good things. But now you turn your face and turn your back on me. You are an ungrateful person with a black heart. Give those things back to me."
As more and more people gathered around them, the voices of public opinion were almost drowning them out.
Some people even started to make a fuss and accused her of being unfilial.
Miaomiao put away her arrogance and re-examined the situation.
She was a princess, and in the carriage behind her sat the eldest princess of Daliang.
In the eyes of the people, they are the powerful and the strong.
The old woman sitting on the ground had completely white hair, ragged clothes, and was skinny...
She has them all: the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled.
Just like a beggar.
In the eyes of the people, this image is that of the most pitiful weakling, and it is chosen to be in this most prosperous street and the busiest road.
The key point is that this old woman is her grandmother, Princess Mingzhu.
If you cheat once, there will be a second time, a third time...
If you blackmail her, she will blackmail the elder and second brothers, and even sister Yuan, in the future, and it will never end.
Keeping it will also bring disaster.
In her two lifetimes, this was the first time Miaomiao had encountered such a hardcore scam.
The person behind this plot has a very vicious mind.
It goes without saying that Jiang Yunze and his mother are short of money and want to morally blackmail her into providing for them in their old age.
In short, they were blackmailing the siblings.
In modern times, if you encounter a scammer, don’t worry about anything and just call the police.
But the current situation is obviously much more complicated.
She couldn't even handle the bullying by taking advantage of her power, let alone the fact that filial piety is above all else.
Jiang Yunze is so cunning!
"Sister, how about I drag her away forcibly?" Xiuxiu was also at a loss and came over to let her sister make the decision.
"Wait a little longer and see who are those people who are causing trouble."
Hearing that her daughter did not act rashly or impulsively, Lu Qingyao knew that the little girl must be thinking of a countermeasure.
Miaomiao waved to Xier to come over, leaned over and whispered a few words in her ear.
Xier took out a handkerchief and gave it to her. Miaomiao took the handkerchief, slowly got off the carriage, walked around Old Lady Jiang for a long time, and looked her up and down.
It made her scalp tingle.
I always feel that this dead kid has a weird look in his eyes, and I don't know what he is up to.
Suddenly she squatted down, and her little face came over and stared at her with eyes wide open.
He looked very surprised.
return……
Hug her.
"Grandma, why is it you? It's really you. I thought you were a beggar from somewhere. Didn't you go back to Jiangzhou with Daddy? Why are you here? Where is Daddy? Was he kidnapped? Is someone forcing you?"
"Come on, your granddaughter will take you home for dinner and find a doctor to see you. Your granddaughter will definitely take care of you until the end of your life."
The little girl hugged the old lady and cried loudly, talking a lot.
What a touching scene of family recognition, which makes people cry and be moved.
What a filial child!
Old Mrs. Jiang’s face froze.
What's going on?
Has this damn girl changed her personality?
No, it's impossible.
The little girl wiped her face with a handkerchief and covered her nose with it.
Why do you feel groggy?
I really want to sleep.
"Grandma, what's wrong with you?"
"She must have fainted from hunger. Hurry, take her home and find a doctor for her."
Xier quickly found a carriage and asked the maids and servants to carry the person up.
Old Mrs. Jiang was taken away in this lively and beautiful manner.
Only after the crowd dispersed did Miaomiao return to the carriage.
Looking at Princess Yuqing: "Mother, there are several pairs of eyes in the attic staring at us."
She just thought it was Jiang Yunze who ordered it, but Jiujiu said that he was not the only one watching.
Princess Yuqing lifted the curtain and took a look, then instructed Liuyun: "Tie those people up and hand them over to Madam Lu for disposal..."
"Wait, leave it to Mu Yunji." She had reason to suspect that it was the Empress Dowager who was causing trouble.
After explaining it, he turned around and looked at his daughter, as if he had discovered a new world: "You acted well just now, who did you learn from?"
"I learned it from you."
Princess Yuqing glared: "... Nonsense, I never taught you these things, don't tell your mother and father that I taught you."
Miaomiao nodded obediently.
"But why did she faint suddenly?"
"Perhaps she was too excited and angry. Isn't that how the Empress Dowager fainted?"
