The most troublesome battle between the powerful and the rich, whether internal or external, is the kind of unscrupulous and unscrupulous attitude that is stunning from the beginning.

It’s not that this kind of person has a deep plan, but this approach shows that even if both sides suffer, they don’t want the other party to take advantage of it. Who would be a little rational person who would suffer losses without gaining benefits? There is no deep blood hatred, it is just for the benefit, not for fighting.

Mrs. Duanmu said that Youshi was not unclear, but now she is in power and has no way out at all. Especially today, she wanted to take advantage of the absence of King Ding to give her a warning to Princess Ding and use the matter of the second elder to threaten Princess Ding. Life is at stake. Princess Ding has violated the law in this way, so she doesn't believe that this woman can feel uneasy at all.

As long as she makes the princess Ding's words reveal flaws and confirms the crime, the initiative will fall into their hands, and even the Prince Ding cannot protect it. So she wants to pull Mrs. Duanmu's outer personality to have a testimony. Unexpectedly, as soon as she arrived at the Prince Ding Mansion, she was scared without saying a few words.

Mrs. Duanmu hesitated for a long time and said, "Cousin, I think..."

Halfway through, Mrs. Duanmu stopped again.

You Shi, who was in a bad mood, said impatiently: "My cousin, what else can you say between you and me directly? When it comes to this, don't keep it in hiding it. If you have any ideas, just say it out soon."

"Since that's the case, I'll just say it." Mrs. Duanmu gritted her teeth and said, "The marriage of cousin's niece was only verbally matched by the empress in the palace, and she did not express the order. It was better to be like this... It would be better to forget it, just say that the two people's horoscopes are incompatible. Taking advantage of the funeral of the second old master, no one can say anything?"

"What's up, then what will my daughter do in the future?" You almost jumped up and said, "My cousin, you are confused. Although you have not made the order, this marriage is already known to everyone. It is still arranged under that situation. It is the palace banquet. There are so many palace maids and eunuchs. The matter has long been spread. If you give up and ask me how my daughter will get married in the future, even the younger sisters behind her will be pointed at in the future."

Mrs. Duanmu just rushed out of her mouth. She knew that it was impossible for Youshi to agree, and what Youshi said was not unreasonable, it was indeed difficult to deal with. It was just a pity that Miss Rong Wu had no daughter and regarded Miss Rong Wu as her childhood. She loved Miss Rong Wu as her biological daughter. She couldn't bear to say a word like Miss Rong Wu was delayed, so she suggested.

It is better to just point fingers and make a living like this. Although after such a thing, Miss Rong Wu will find a marriage that is of equal status in the future, so she can only look for it in a low-level place. Most of them cannot be from Yancheng, but she still has the opportunity to find a husband who can appreciate her. Living a warm and harmonious life may not be worse than the cruel struggles of wealthy families.

If it is his own daughter, Mrs. Duanmu will try her best to make her escape from such a fire pit. It’s a pity that she is not his own daughter and cannot make the decision.

Although Youshi was angry, she knew that it was more practical to hold back her anger and wanted to solve the problem. It was useless to get angry at others. It was useless to expect Mrs. Duanmu to come up with a good idea. But someone discussed it better than not. After thinking about it, she said, "Aren't you very familiar with Mrs. Zhu? Come and discuss it and see how to deal with our second old master..."

"Which Mrs. Zhu?" Mrs. Duanmu did not react for a moment.

"How many Mrs. Zhu are you familiar with? Of course, they are the wife of Zhu Ying, the prefect of Yancheng." You continued, "It's better to invite Mrs. Zhu to come and I'll talk to her and ask Lord Zhu to help check it out."

Mrs. Duanmu looked at You Shi with some surprise. Is You Shi Shi so anxious? Can such a thing be alarmed to the government to investigate? The death of the second old man is simply a scandal. It is too late to cover it up, so how can we take the initiative to expose it? The Zhongyi Hou Mansion has always claimed that the second old man died of illness. Although some things cannot be completely covered up, there are various rumors in Yancheng every day. After a while, people naturally forget which family does not have an unfilial son?

But if you make trouble in the government, the final conclusion is different. That is real evidence and can never be erased. If someone asks about it in the future, it cannot be denied.

Seeing that Mrs. Duanmu was stunned, Youshi knew that she had misunderstood and explained: "I just want to check it privately first to see if I can find something out."

"This..." Mrs. Duanmu looked embarrassed. She had known Mrs. Zhu for many years. She knew Mrs. Zhu very kind and enthusiastic. However, in the inner house, Mrs. Zhu never interfered in her husband's business and would not agree to what others had entrust.

She had a better conversation with Mrs. Zhu, but she knew that the other party was taboo and would not make any demands to make the other party embarrassed. Now, Yu Shi was obviously making things difficult for her. Don’t look at the small matter, once some things start, it will be difficult to end.

After hesitating for a long time, Mrs. Duanmu thought carefully: "Cousin, you probably don't know what Lord Zhu is. He sometimes looks straight when doing things... If the second old master's affairs alarm the government and spread them, I'm afraid they will have a bad reputation for Zhongyi Hou Mansion."

"That's why I want to talk to Mrs. Zhu in private." You Shi said, "I just don't say it on the official side. Let's first explore Mrs. Zhu's words and see if this case can be investigated a little."

After a while, Mrs. Duanmu understood that it was an investigation, it would be better to say that she wanted to seize some favorable evidence to threaten Princess Ding? Or she used the government to shock Princess Ding, but Yu Shi thought too well. Can the people in Yancheng Government Office let them sway and sway and sway?

The Prime Minister Zhu was able to be a member of the Yancheng Prefecture for so many years, and it was definitely not something that a woman like Youshi could use. She was Mrs. Zhu. Although she could talk to her, the relationship between the two was really not as good as helping with such things. It was obvious that she was wading into muddy waters, and only a fool would do it.

Others are not fools, but Mrs. Duanmu thinks that it is herself who is stupid. Even though she knows that it is inappropriate, she can't stand You's repeated persuasion, and finally agreed to take the lead for You and introduce Mrs. Zhu. But she told You in advance not to force her too much, so as not to make it difficult for her to do it.

Naturally, Youshi did not refuse.

What surprised Mrs. Duanmu even more was Mrs. Zhu's attitude. She thought it was a tough situation, but Mrs. Zhu would definitely be unhappy and even refused. However, this time, Mrs. Zhu not only did not feel displeased at all, but also asked about many situations enthusiastically and agreed to ask Mr. Zhu for help, and said that she would check it privately first and would not be too arrogant.

However, Youshi was very proud and believed that this was because there was a noble son-in-law in Zhongyi's mansion. Who would not be flattered with King Ding's current status? If it was really possible to confirm the charge of Princess Ding, who was born as a concubine, her daughter would be the Princess Ding, and Zhu Ying was just a little prefect of Yancheng. How dare her wife neglect her?

As for whether this matter will be exposed after the government intervenes, it depends on what the situation is. If the plan is good and the death of the second old man is framed, isn’t it much better than outsiders’ guessing? Of course, for the sake of the decency of the two governments, this is the worst case. The best thing is for everyone to discuss it behind closed doors and propose a solution to protect both parties.

...

On the other hand, the news that Yancheng Government Office intervened in the matter spread wildly.

Mrs. Dong came to find Mrs. Meng in a panic and discussed countermeasures with Mrs. Meng.

Mrs. Meng knew nothing about what Mrs. Dong did, and Meng was also slumped in the bed. The Meng family had almost no guests to play. The maid and the mother went out occasionally, and she didn't dare to gossip in front of her when she heard anything. Anyone who flattered the woman took the matter of the second old master of Zhongyi's mansion as a happy event like her reporting, but she didn't think much about it, and she couldn't imagine that such a thing could have something to do with Mrs. Dong.

After hearing Mrs. Dong's words, Mrs. Meng took a breath and squeezed out a sentence for a long time: "How did you...you do such a bold and reckless thing?"

"Sister, I mentioned this to you before, and you didn't object to it." Mrs. Dong's eyes widened and looked innocent.

"I...I didn't object, but I didn't agree at all. Besides, you didn't say that you could use this method. How could you do this...?" Mrs. Meng tried hard to hold back before swallowing the dirty words. She could not use such words to criticize her sister.

Mrs. Dong became dissatisfied, "Sister, if you want to destroy this marriage, can you do anything open and upright? I am also thinking about the future of our two families. Now that things are done, can you refuse to admit it?"

"What do you recognize... I kept saying that Xiaofu agreed, but Xiaofu didn't agree at all. How could you make a decision without authorization?" Mrs. Meng was so angry that her heart ached and she couldn't speak.

"Okay, okay, my good sister, it's me wrong, it's me wrong, don't get angry." Mrs. Dong pretended to be generous and admitted her mistake happily.

This statement made Mrs. Meng even more angry. This is not a matter of being idle among sisters. Just admitting a mistake can make a decision. Now it is a life lawsuit, and the other party is also a nobleman. It is not possible to spend some money or find someone to suppress it at will.

But now is not the time to get angry. After careful consideration, Mrs. Meng looked at Mrs. Dong in confusion: "How did you do it? How can you, a woman, stretch your hands so long?"

Her sister knew that Mrs. Meng felt that such cruel methods were not as good as Mrs. Dong could do. She didn't have that ability. She felt a little strange from the beginning. Even if Prince Ding had some joint influence on the Dong family, she might not be too old. She was just a concubine. Xiao Fu was also a royal concubine who was married by the Ming media and had a legitimate son. How could she be easily replaced?
