There was such a big scandal in the Zhu family. Although Zhu Xinjie tried every means to suppress the matter in the house, for some reason, within two days, the news spread throughout Pengzhou. Everyone knows it.
Zhu Xinjie can't even leave the house now. He feels like a group of people are poking him in the back as soon as he walks on the street. He regrets why he didn't kill all the servants who knew about it, but after all, he is just a six Pinguan, the family doesn't have that much power, nor does it have that much money to support a large number of slaves with death contracts, but with living contracts, if a person dies in the palace, the government will be held accountable.
He felt depressed and fell ill within a few days. He lay in bed for a few more days. As soon as he had enough energy to get out of bed, the first thing he did was to rush to Guanliu's house with a whip. In the firewood shed, Mr. Liu was severely beaten.
Ms. Liu was slapped until her face turned pale, and half of her life was lost. However, she still kept shouting that she was the prince's aunt, and the Zhu family would be punished for treating her like this.
Zhu Xinjie was tired from convulsions, and was persuaded by the eldest lady to go back and lie down. Seeing him sighing, the eldest lady said to him: "Master, I'd better follow my advice and spread this matter." Seeing Zhu Xinjie's eyes widening at her, he hurriedly said: "Master, don't get excited for now. Please let me analyze it for you. If we keep suppressing the matter, one day the other side of the capital will get the news, and then the three of us will The girl told her prince cousin and aunt the princess that they would definitely support Mrs. Liu. No matter how aggrieved you are, you will have to pretend to be nonchalant and make Mrs. Liu cheat again. The room was released. But according to the letter sent back from the other side of the capital, the three girls don’t care about our family at all. If you want to get promoted through their way, it will be impossible. By then It’s really frustrating to have no official promotion and no fortune, but to support the Liu family in the family. But it’s different now. Everyone knows about it. Even if they are royal people, they can no longer go there without conscience. Cover up."
Zhu Xinjie said angrily: "What if I don't protect her? According to my understanding of the Liu family, they will not choose to kill their relatives out of justice. The Liu family has to let her live well."
"But you can negotiate terms with them! Either divorce your wife, or let the Liu family or Jingli show sincerity. You know, once the Zhu family divorces their wife, the reputation of the three girls will be ruined. Eight Will the prince want a concubine whose biological mother has been divorced?"
The eldest lady's words reminded Zhu Xinjie, and he nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "Yes, we can't suffer this loss in vain, and Jingli can't use our daughter in vain. We must give some benefits to the Zhu family. Madam, What kind of compensation do you think we need?"
The eldest lady thought for a while and said: "Of course it is the official position of the master. Only when the official position is promoted, the master will be prosperous, and our Zhu family will be able to follow the trend." She thought in her heart, once the Zhu family rises, If she is in a good position, her mother's family's business will be better. When the time comes to become an imperial merchant and make a royal fortune, it will be a hugely profitable thing.
Zhu Kongshan also thinks this is true. The most unfulfilling thing in his life is this official position. When he asked to marry the Liu family, the Liu family looked unhappy and said that even if he was a concubine, he would not marry her. A sixth-grade official, let alone a concubine. But later on, he suddenly agreed. To this day, he is still extremely puzzled every time he thinks about it.
Liu's incident could not be suppressed. After it spread throughout Pengzhou, it soon reached the capital. However, it did not spread widely in the capital. People talked about it in a small area and made it a topic of conversation after dinner. Even so, it has a certain impact on Zhu Kongshan's reputation. Even if she is still giving porridge in the north of the city, people will point at her with contempt on their faces when they see her.
Zhu Kongshan didn’t understand what was going on at first, and wondered why she was being looked down upon for doing good deeds. She couldn’t believe it until Ahuan Aruo came back from asking about the news and told her the rumors circulating in the market. His eyes widened and his mouth opened wide, but he did not say a word to defend Mrs. Liu.
Zhu Kongshan knew clearly in her heart that it was true that she had an affair with the housekeeper, because she had seen it before, and even reminded and warned Mrs. Liu. Mrs. Liu clearly promised her not to do it again, but she didn't expect that at this juncture, she would Not only did she commit a crime, she was actually caught by her father. Zhu Kongshan was filled with hatred at this moment. He only thought that she was carefully working for the Eighth Prince in the capital, and was concentrating on finding a way out, hoping to protect the Liu family and her own status in the Zhu family. But she didn't expect that the person holding her back at the critical moment was actually her own mother. Such a shameful thing was done, and it even spread to the capital. It was impossible for her to exonerate herself even if she wanted to!
A Huan A Ruo felt very happy when she saw Zhu Kongshan like this. The grievances that had been suppressed these days finally found an outlet. Ah Huan said: "I didn't expect Aunt Liu to be such a person. She openly stole people in the house and was caught and raped in bed by the master. I am Liu." Auntie, if you hang yourself by the neck, how can you still have the dignity to live in this world?"
"That's right." Aruo also said: "The most important thing for a woman is chastity. Anyone who is forcibly defiled will have to die to express his innocence, let alone someone who is caught in bed. But I heard that Aunt Liu She is still alive, and the master did not touch her. I guess he is a compassionate person and cannot bear to do it!"
Ah Huan said again: "Yes! This is the mercy of the master and the eldest lady. Otherwise, with just a concubine, life and death will be decided by the government."
These words made Zhu Kongshan’s heart twitch suddenly, didn’t they? An existence like a concubine is worse than a maid with a death contract. Life and death are not just a matter of words in the house. If something like this happened, her father Zhu Xinjie could kill the Liu family in the blink of an eye, and the government would not hold him accountable, but he hadn't killed him yet... She thought about it and immediately understood what the Zhu family meant. She couldn't help but grit her teeth and secretly resented that she was not a fuel-efficient lamp, but he actually used this kind of thing to blackmail her. But thinking about it again, I can't blame the Zhu family. Who told Liu to do this?
Zhu Kongshan has no intention of giving porridge here anymore, especially when she sees the look in the eyes of people coming and going when she looks at her, she wants to find a crack in the ground and crawl in. A few days ago, people were still looking at her like a Bodhisattva, but in the blink of an eye she looked like a monster, standing here for people to watch.
She couldn't stay any longer, threw the spoon in her hand, turned around and ran away. Ahuan Aruo and the girl from Prince Sheng's Mansion quickly followed behind and followed Zhu Kongshan on the carriage back to Prince Sheng's Mansion. They saw Zhu Kongshan rushing directly to the eighth prince's yard.
The three girls followed behind and stopped at the entrance of the courtyard without following. The girl from Prince Sheng's Mansion glanced at Ah Huan and asked with some caution: "Is what you said true?"
A Huan rolled his eyes and said, "Don't ask me if it's true or false! Go to the street and ask around, and we'll find out too. As for the Zhu family! Look, the lady heard about this. Did she say anything afterwards that this was a frame-up or an injustice? She didn’t even say this, which shows that she knew what happened to Aunt Liu."
The girl thought it made sense after hearing it, so she didn’t ask any more questions, but just thought about it in her heart. If it is really like the rumors outside, it will be very detrimental to Zhu Kongshan. Of course, she didn't care about Zhu Kongshanli's disadvantage. What she cared about was the impact on the Eighth Prince. The reputation that was finally regained cannot be lost again because of this incident. Furthermore, if there was such a mother, Zhu Kongshan's life would be ruined. How could a daughter born from such a person marry into Prince Sheng's Mansion? Even if it's a cousin, that won't work.
What she can think of, Xuan Tianmo himself can think of. He came back early from the next court today. He had just heard about the rumors, but he also thought about it in his mind. The most important thing to think about is how to stabilize Zhu Kongshan and add more strength to squeeze out more of Zhu Kongshan's usable value. When there is no more usable space, just kick him out.
Of course, he also understood that what was spread in the capital was even more widely known in Pengzhou. Therefore, Prince Sheng's Mansion or the two concubines in the palace must not support Mrs. Liu at this juncture. Doing so will only make people think they are helping the evildoers.
While he was thinking, Zhu Kongshan broke in. The boy outside the study did not stop him and was kneeling at the door to apologize.
He waved his hand and told the boy to leave first. When he saw the door was closed, he said to Zhu Kongshan: "You have always been a calm person, and what I admire most is your calm temperament. What happened today? So frivolous? Did you know that no one is allowed to enter my study without permission?"
Without saying anything, Zhu Kongshan knelt down to Xuan Tianmo and said, "Please cousin, please save my mother."
Xuan Tianmo looked at her with a look of cruelty, and asked Zhu Kongshan: "How do you think we should save her? And why should we save her? Does the Zhu family want her to die?"
Zhu Kongshan shook his head, "I still don't know what is going on on the other end, but I think my father will not execute my mother. After all... she is the aunt of the two princes. But even if she does not execute her, she has committed such a thing. , my mother’s life in Zhu Mansion also plummeted!”
"You also know that you have committed such a thing, but you still want her to live a happy life?" They will feel even more shameless, and they will feel that we are using our power to suppress them and let them suffer this dumb loss. Think about it, Zhu Fu Xinmi can easily spread the news, if we intervene, the boss may be wrong again How will it spread? By then, all your efforts in the capital will be ruined because of the Liu family!"
"But..." Zhu Kongshan said slightly: "But, she is my mother! I can't leave her alone!"
"Did she think about you when she did that kind of thing? Did she ever think that once the incident happened, your future would be over?" Xuan Tianmo persuaded Zhu Kongshan earnestly, "Stop your impulse. Use your reason again. In any case, the Zhu family dare not do anything to your mother. She deserves to suffer temporarily. And you, the most important thing now is to calm down and what to do. Whatever else you do, I will handle the direction of the wind in Beijing. Only by making yourself stronger can you truly stand up in the future and save your mother from fire and water. Do you understand?"
