There had never been a manor where so many people had been beaten to death. Under the spread of people with ulterior motives, the fact that a dozen concubines had been beaten to death in King Xuan's Manor was spread around like the tide. It dispelled the previous controversy between King Xuan's Manor and the He family. This matter had nothing to do with Consort Xuan. It was said that she fell ill because of the matter about the He family and was still in the West Hill Yard.
King Xuan had hurried back in order to protect the unborn child in a concubine's belly. However, he was too late. The concubine had miscarried because of the other concubines in the manor. This matter was not kept secret and the bodies of the concubines had been thrown out. There was not even a corpse left behind and they were all burned.
Many lamented how cold and ruthless King Xuan and secretly felt fortunate that their daughters had not yet been sent to King Xuan's Manor. Otherwise, t
Mo Xuetong returned to the manor a few days later. Feng Yuran had Feng Yue bring her back and told others that she was ill because she had been framed again and again on her birthday. When she entered the manor, her carriage stopped at the second door, and then Feng Yuran carried her into the back yard because she was really ill.Of course, this illness was not due to anger as the rumors spread outside. Feng Yuran found a miracle doctor a while ago, who inserted needles in her body, which caused her to be weak for the time being. Although she was weak, she was in good spirits. Mo Xuetong knew that the poison in her body had not been removed, and was just controlled.Mo Yu came in happily as soon as she lay on the bed. She walked up to Mo Xuetong and said proudly, "My Lady, don't worry. I heard that the woman who offended you, named Concubine Xiang, died because she felt sad for losing the baby in her belly a few days ago."Mo Xuetong's maidserv
"My Lady, the painter is here. She's waiting outside. Do you want to go to the outer room to meet her?" Mo Yu came in and asked."Alright, have her wait outside first."Mo Xuetong had been lying on the bed for a few days and felt that her bones were almost scattered. After she returned, a few of the concubines who were insensible wanted to come over and take the opportunity to see if she was really ill. However, all of them were refused by the maids for the reason that Mo Xuetong was seriously ill.She had live a rather leisurely time and her body had recovered slightly. She could actually be in charge of matters, of course, but since Feng Yuran had plans, she had to cooperate.She moved from the bed in the inner room to the couch in the outer room. Then, she leaned against the couch and got Mo Yu to bring the painter here.A woman who seemed to be in her forties came in. She was Madam Ming, the boss of the famous Unvo
Mo Xuetong stared at the painting for a while and muttered a few words to herself. Mo Lan was standing beside her, so she could hear Mo Xuetong muttering "How could it be possible? How could it be possible?"She didn't understand what she meant. She turned her head and looked at the painting, but she didn't find anything. She asked softly, "My Lady, what did you find?"Suppressing the suffocating pain in her chest, Mo Xuetong heaved another long breath. She gestured for Mo Lan to put down the painting in her hands and said, "I'll lie down for a while."Mo Lan nodded when she realized that Mo Xuetong did not want to say anything. She picked up the painting and got Mo Yu to move the painting to where it was. Then, she sat by the window and made needlework. In an instant, the room fell silent.An incredible idea came to Mo Xuetong's mind. It was not only incredible, but also unacceptable. She suppressed the surging qi and blood in her
"Madam Lian, your two maids are so straightforward and adorable. Mo Lan, reward them." Mo Xuetong opened her red lips slightly and said. Mo Lan came over immediately and took out two purses. Ming Yu and Ming Xia took the purses and gave them a pinch. They felt that there were at least two taels of silver. They looked at each other in surprise, knelt down and kowtowed to show their gratitude.Even though they had taken the salary of the first-class maid in Lian's Manor, Lian's Manor was not a wealthy family, and they had few rewards in normal times. Now that they had already received a month's salary, how could they not be overjoyed? They stood behind Madam Lian and looked at Mo Lan and Mo Ye. Both their bearing and clothes were the best. Then, they looked at the decorations in the room and found that they were all of the high quality. They could not help but feel a yearning for King Xuan's Manor.If they came to King Xuan's Manor, their appearance would be
When Madam Lian returned to her manor, Lian An had not yet returned. In order to show her sincerity, Madam Lian asked the butler told Lian An that she would bring some servants to pray for Consort Xuan and that she might come back tomorrow. Then she hurried to the Repayment Temple outside the city with several servants. It was said that the temple was quite famous and many people would go there to pray for blessings.Before they set out, a small episode happened. As an official, Lian An had a good reputation. Although he was the minister of the Ministry of Workers, he was clean-handed. Lian's Manor was not large and there were not many servants in the manor; besides, there were only three carriages for going outside—one of the carriages had always been used by Lian An, which was enough, and one for Madam Lian and the last one for younger and older maidservants.However, Ming Yu and Ming Xia rarely agreed that, as Madam Lian's personal maids, they could not
A carriage sped along the road. Yu Mingyong, who was about to recover from the injury and could barely walk a few steps, leaned against the carriage. Hatred filled his heart. He only had one idea at the moment—he wanted the brothers of the He family to die. He had taken a fancy to He Yufen, but since she committed adultery, he had to replace He Yuxiu with her and ask the He family to suppress the matter.But now, he learned that it was the He brothers' trick. The so-called woman who had an affair with him was actually a prostitute in the brothel. How could Yu Mingyong not be furious? It turned out that the He brothers had already plotted against him. They changed the fiancée, but now he didn't get either of them and even became a notorious man. At the thought of this, Yu Mingyong went to Lian's Manor in a threatening manner, regardless of his injury.He had heard from the woman that the He brothers had the best relationship with Lian An, so it was very like
Yu Mingyong felt that he had been cuckolded. Any man would not be able to stand this kind of insult. With so many people pointing at He Yuxiu and Lian An, he immediately felt that everyone was on his side, and became more agitated. He didn't allow Lian An to escape at this time. He took several steps forward and reached out with his hand, blocking Lian An's way."Mr. Lian, Minister Lian, Your Excellency Minister, you should give me an explanation. You took my fiancée away and forced her to be your mistress. Come on, let's go to meet the place of judgment. Let them see how Minister Lian, who always thinks highly of himself, can't wait to get together with this little slut."Yu Mingyong stretched out his hand to pull Lian An.Lian An was consumed with regret. How could it be such a coincidence that Yu Mingyong, who had nothing to do with him, would come to his manor? Just now, he really made out with He Yuxiu in the carriage because he could not
This incident finally escalated. Yu Mingyong caused a new incident after the previous one in King Xuan's Manor. This time it was Minister Lian's Manor. He not only caused trouble but also beat Lian An. However, this time was different from the previous ones. Yu Mingyong felt that he was on the right side, so when he saw a team of soldiers appearing, he consciously dragged Lian An who was covered in bruises and asked the government to hold justice for him.Looking at Lian An who panted like a dog due to beating, and then at the large crowd in front of him, the soldiers really couldn't figure out who was the wronged person, but in fact, they had to deal with the matter. The gate of Lian's Manor was crooked because of their fight.With such a big incident and the fact that Minister Lian of the first-rank was still beaten up like that, the whole court's decency was lost. Emperor Zongwen was furious and immediately called Lian An into the Qianqing Palace. He sco
