Chapter 88 The method is good, she used it
With the conclusion of the case, the stolen money was returned to Leng Lanzhi.
She immediately ordered that the list of victims be compiled and compensation be paid at the rate of fifty taels per person.
This is the only thing she can do for these victimized families.
In order to prevent the bullying from happening again, she sent her own people to supervise this time.
A young official named Lin Weiyang had an upright appearance and good character. However, due to bad luck and offending someone, he had an accident before the scientific examination, which caused him to miss the exam and lose his reputation.
At that time, Lin Weiyang was already twenty-seven years old. He had been studying for twenty years as a poor student, but he was unable to take the imperial examination because his parents passed away one after another before his examination.
This time, there was finally no accident, but the opportunity was lost because of offending the powerful.
Leng Lanzhi tested his knowledge and investigated his character, and determined that he was a useful talent, so he kept him as his staff.
And this task of appeasing the victims was Leng Lanzhi's first inspection of him.
Three days later was his father's birthday banquet. Regarding the gifts, Leng Lanzhi changed his mind.
The Longevity Without Borders picture was still a gift, and besides this embroidery picture, she also planned to add something else.
As soon as the birthday banquet was over, she asked her father to divorce her husband...
Thinking that he would be able to regain his freedom soon, Leng Lanzhi's mood improved, and when he looked at the sky, he felt that it was bluer and prettier.
In the evening, the housekeeper suddenly came to report that Mrs. Pingnanhou was here.
Leng Lanzhi frowned.
During this period of time, she was always paying attention to the affairs of Tianhai County, and in order to avoid frequent headaches, she did not go to the Hou Mansion.
The Marquis Mansion didn't try to get in front of her, and the two sides maintained a strange balance.
Why did Mrs. Zhao come suddenly?
Leng Lanzhi couldn't figure it out, but was too lazy to think about it.
Anyway, after her father's birthday banquet, she no longer has to look at their annoying faces, and there is no need to maintain the false peace: "Just say that I am unwell and it is not convenient to see guests."
The butler's expression was a little troubled: "However, for some reason, many people have gathered outside the princess's residence. Mrs. Pingnanhou is... smearing your reputation."
Outside the princess's mansion.
Under the protection of several maids and women, Mrs. Zhao's bloated body was slightly bent, covering her face with her hands, and burst into tears: "Princess has been married to my Pingnan Marquis Mansion for six years, and she has not even given birth to a single child. Now she has given birth to me."
I kidnapped my son and brought him to the princess's mansion."
"I have only one child in my family, Yi, and I will count on him to provide for him until his death. The princess can't even accommodate him..."
"Forget it! After all, under the imperial decree back then, we didn't dare to resist the decree and deceive the emperor. People who simply live in the capital are still in the capital. If you live in the princess's mansion, you can live in the princess's mansion. They are not far apart. We will come here from time to time.
We can meet."
"However, Yizhi is the only son of our Hou family, and he is also the most important source of income at the moment. If the princess imprisons people in the princess's palace, our Hou family can only sit and eat..."
"Princess, she is unparalleled and noble. She looks down on me, the second-class Duke of Pingnan Marquis Mansion, and she even refused to let my mother-in-law in..."
She burst into tears as she spoke, and the way she covered her face and cried made the people around her feel pity for her, and they were really angry.
What happened to the princess?
Can a princess disrespect her parents-in-law and not care about her husband's family's life or death?
Dasheng State rules the world with benevolence and filial piety, but the princess actually stopped her mother-in-law from entering. She was braving the disdain of the world!
Mrs. Zhao cried all the way from the gate of Pingnan Hou Mansion to the gate of Princess Mansion, and she fully understood the common people's love for eating melons.
At this moment, there were several layers of people watching outside the Princess Mansion. Although they did not dare to confront the powerful, there was no big risk in watching the show and helping in the verbal crusade.
For a time, the crowd was filled with accusations, ridicules, and abuses towards Leng Lanzhi.
Listening to the crowd's discussion, Zhao's face hidden by her sleeves showed a proud smile.
Although that Yu Wan'er is not on the stage, she has a really good mind and can actually come up with such a devious yet useful method.
She didn't believe it anymore. How dare Leng Lanzhi continue to stop her mother-in-law?
Not only would she be swaggered into the princess mansion as a guest today, but she would also have to peel off a layer of skin from Leng Lanzhi's body!
And if you want to do this, you only need a big hat of Renxiao to suppress it!
Suddenly, the door of the princess mansion slowly opened, and a woman in gorgeous clothes came out.
Seeing the woman's appearance, the people were stunned.
Although the woman was gorgeously dressed, she looked very haggard, with no color on her red lips and a pale face.
Although the gorgeous clothes added a touch of beauty to her appearance, it was precisely because of this color that it made her look like a weak willow supporting the wind.
This...is different from the haughty and arrogant Princess they imagined.
Although Princess Jialuo is still noble and graceful, everyone can see her melancholy and frailty.
Leng Lanzhi looked at the crowd who suddenly stopped cursing and sighed inwardly.
The power of public opinion is really useful. No wonder Zhao wants to use public opinion to force her.
Although she doesn't know what Zhao's ultimate goal is, she definitely can't come up with such a good idea. She just doesn't know who the think tank behind her is Shen Yizhi or who?
No matter who it is...
She was ready to use this method.
She was thinking in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. After Yingying bowed, she said: "I'm not feeling well. The imperial doctor came to see me a few days ago, but my health has not improved. The people under my command took pity on me and saw me again."
It's already getting late, so I closed the door to all guests. Please forgive me, mother-in-law."
When the people heard this, the burning spirit of gossip immediately reminded them of what happened a month ago.
Not only did the prince-in-law spend the night with the two girls, he also exposed the affair of an extramarital affair and an illegitimate child on the same day!
So, the princess has been sick all this time, is she angry?
Thinking about it this way, it seems that it is not incomprehensible for her to thank guests behind closed doors.
As a result, the direction of public opinion changed, from blaming Leng Lan for disrespecting his mother-in-law to one that Pingnan Hou Mansion deserved.
Of course, some people think that even if there is a reason for the incident, the princess is the daughter-in-law after all, and those things were all done by the consort. What does it have to do with the elder Mrs. Pingnanhou?
It is really inappropriate for a princess to disrespect her mother-in-law.
Hearing these words, Leng Lanzhi looked at the crowd.
A servant of the princess's palace who had already sneaked into the crowd loudly argued: "I heard that Madam Pingnanhou cherished the illegitimate child very much. She had embarrassed the princess more than once before the incident was exposed. Who would believe that Madam Pingnanhou didn't know about the illegitimate child?
ah?"
The people immediately felt that it made sense.
I have never thought about why that person knew so clearly what happened in Pingnanhou Mansion.
Leng Lanzhi saw that the public opinion had turned in his favor, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he turned slightly to get out of the way: "Mother-in-law, come in and talk about something."
After saying that, she coughed twice.
The people who were watching looked at her with more and more pity. Whenever they spoke, they all expressed pity for the princess and angrily criticized Pingnan Houfu for deceiving his wife.
Zhao: "..."
Why is it different from what she imagined?——
