"Let me go."
Xie Zhaohua broke free from the guards' restraints and lifted up the loose hair that had fallen down due to the struggle.
"That's it, I don't want to stay in this harem for even a single day."
"etc."
The nanny sneered and signaled with her eyes to the guards to hold Xie Zhaohua down again.
"What are you doing? Let me go!"
"How can the harem be a place where a woman from outside the imperial family can speak so freely? According to palace rules, Xie Zhaohua committed an insubordination and her crime is so serious that she shall be punished with thirty strokes of the cane."
"I don't know who dares to touch me. The Queen Mother is my cousin!"
Without Xiao Yuchen as his backer, Xie Zhaohua could only turn to the Empress Dowager.
Mammy seemed to have heard some joke.
"This old servant wanted to give your Xie family some respect, but you're shameless, aren't you? Fine, let's bring this up right under the Empress Dowager's nose. Your father is the Minister of Rites, but he's a poor parent. Tell me, will your father be implicated? Can the Xie family still live in peace?"
Xie Zhaohua's body went limp and he fell to the ground.
She was used to being so arrogant that she didn't even think of this.
If she mobilized a large force to beat her up and let everyone know about it.
Empress Dowager Yu would definitely protect her, and might even impose the maximum punishment to demonstrate her own justice and majesty.
Seeing Xie Zhaohua was silent, the nanny's eyes were cold and she ordered: "Stop her mouth when beating her, so as not to disturb the Empress."
This kind of person is really not worth the Queen's time.
Even though she thought so, the nanny still reported Xie Zhaohua's disturbance in the harem to the imperial guard Ling.
Qi Ling's face was solemn. This matter could be a big deal or a small one.
The Xie family and the Yu family are in-laws, and they have a relationship with Empress Dowager Yu. To touch the Xie family would mean to turn against Empress Dowager Yu.
"Xie Yun is too old to hold such an important position in the Ministry of Rites."
Xiao Yuchen said expressionlessly while reviewing the memorials.
"Find him a sinecure."
Hearing that he was demoted, Xie Yun's already worried face became even more wrinkled.
He rushed into Xie Zhaohua's villa excitedly, looked at her recovering in bed, and questioned her angrily.
"Tell me, what absurd things have you done in the palace? That's why His Majesty wouldn't even give Empress Dowager Yu the benefit of the doubt and send me off with a sinecure!"
Xie Zhaohua was already in unbearable pain from the injury on his waist, and after hearing his father's words, he felt even more aggrieved. He lowered his voice and said:
"I didn't do anything! It's Xiao Yuchen who's making a fuss!"
After saying that, he started coughing violently.
He looked very uncomfortable.
Xie Yun really loves his daughter, and it makes him sad to see her look so pitiful.
I swallowed my anger.
"Never mind, I'm old and I don't have many days left to live anyway."
"Qing Zhaohua, you must make plans for the rest of your life. Find a family of equal status and don't waste your time any longer."
The son of the prime minister, the son of the grand scholar, and the son of the richest man in Suzhou who is currently in the limelight and has passed the imperial examination are all good.
"Daddy, I have the husband I love."
Hearing this, Xie Yun's anger, which he had suppressed with great difficulty, rose up again.
"You mean Pei Jingheng, the father of the Pei family?"
Xie Yun snorted coldly, "You've been out of the palace for over a month. Has he ever come to our house to look for you? Has he ever come to propose marriage?"
"Have you been fooled by his sweet talk?"
"No."
Xie Zhaohua's suppressed voice suddenly rose a notch.
"Pei Lang will not let me down."
"That's better."
Xie Yun waved his hand and left. Ruoyun ran back from outside and saw the angry master. She waited outside for a while before daring to enter Xie Zhaohua's room.
"Ruoyun, have you heard anything about Pei Lang? Is he preparing to propose marriage?"
