Sure enough, when Bai Zhanxi and others were escaping from the Prime Minister's Mansion, they happened to pass by Wang Tuo, who had just returned from the court.
Seeing Bai Zhanxi's miserable defeat, Wang Tuo suddenly felt a strong sense of disgust in his heart.
He had nothing to do with Bai Qingshan, and he was even more disgusted with Bai Zhanxi, a dandy who only knew how to have fun. Even looking at him made his eyes dirty.
Bai Zhanxi returned to the Hou Mansion in embarrassment and went straight to Liu Moqin's room to complain.
"Mom, this prime minister's office is so bullying! Not only did they attack my son, they also insulted you and your father. They accused your father of being obsessed with your own thoughts and abandoning your wife who is a loser. They also called you..."
Bai Zhanxi deliberately hesitated for a moment and secretly glanced at Liu Moqin's face. Seeing that Liu Moqin did not show any displeasure, the courage in his heart gradually grew and he continued:
"You are shameless! You are a flower nun hooking up with a married man!"
"What?!"
Liu Moqin's eyes suddenly widened and she burst into anger!
"They seriously said that?!"
Bai Zhanxi nodded heavily:
"They not only slandered my reputation, but also said that you are shameless and charming!"
Liu Moqin's body trembled slightly. She never thought that people from the Prime Minister's Office would dare to insult her like this in front of her. This is something she will never allow!
"They are simply looking for death!"
Liu Moqin gritted her teeth, wishing to tear the other party into pieces!
Bai Zhanxi was overjoyed to see Liu Moqin so angry, but he still pretended to be scared and said:
"Mom, you must not go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to cause trouble, otherwise"
Bai Zhanxi didn't finish what he said, but the meaning in his eyes was clearly saying: If you, a step-brother who cannot stand up to the challenge, fights with the prime minister's office, it will be the same as committing suicide!
Liu Moqin took a deep breath, suppressed the anger and hatred in her heart, and said in a deep voice:
"My mother will never swallow this bad breath!"
Seeing that his plan worked, Bai Zhanxi immediately flattered him and said:
"Besides dad, mom is probably the best at dealing with those arrogant people! But mom, do you really want to go find trouble with them? What if you offend the Prime Minister's Office?"
Liu Moqin's face became more and more gloomy, she gritted her teeth and said:
"My noble wife, the Marquis, are still afraid of them?!"
Bai Zhanxi nodded quickly and said:
"I'm going to prepare the carriage right now!"
…
Wang Tuo learned from Wang Yao's mouth that Zhang Yue was insulted by Bai Qingshan and Liu Moqin. Shu Chang's brows wrinkled again and his expression became solemn.
Although the Chen family is now at the end of its strength, it can still not be underestimated.
It would be really disadvantageous for them if they broke up with Bai Qingshan at this time.
So Bai Qingshan's behavior this time really gave him a headache.
Wang Yao saw his own father's hesitation and quickly persuaded:
"Dad, Zhang Yueming is my sister on the surface. I should help her both emotionally and rationally."
"Besides, the conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is ultimately a matter within the house. Dad, you are the one doing the big things. It is not convenient for you to interfere. How about leaving it to your daughter to handle it?"
Wang Yao's words touched Wang Tuo's heart deeply.
This child is sensible and it is not in vain that he has loved her for many years. She finally lived up to his expectations.
After Wang Tuo heard this, his worries immediately dissipated a lot. He nodded with a smile and said:
"Since Yao'er wants to meddle in other people's business, let me leave it to you! However, since you want to meddle in it, you have to do it cleanly and without leaving any traces!"
Wang Yao nodded heavily and said, "Don't worry!"
Wang Tuo touched Wang Yao's head happily.
At this time, a burst of rapid footsteps came in.
The housekeeper ran in panting and reported that Liu Moqin and Bai Zhanxi had come to ask for someone.
"Humph, just in time!"
Wang Yao sneered and ordered the housekeeper:
"Take them to the side hall, I want to see what they want to do!"
The butler took the order and left.
The side hall is a place used to receive unimportant or humble people.
When Liu Moqin saw the housekeeper taking them to the side hall, her anger level soared, and she wanted to strip Wang Yao's skin and convulse her!
But because she was on someone else's territory, it was hard for her to have an attack, so she had to endure it!
Bai Zhanxi was also extremely aggrieved, but like Liu Moqin, he did not dare to get angry. After all, he had just been beaten by Zhao Qian and the pain on his body had not dissipated. He did not want to be beaten again!
In the side hall.
Bai Zhanxi and Liu Moqin sat there with gloomy faces, suppressing their anger and waiting for Wang Tuo to come over.
However, Wang Tuo did not wait, but Wang Yao came.
Seeing that Wang Yao was coming, the anger in Liu Moqin's heart started to burn again.
However, Liu Moqin also understood that she was definitely no match for Wang Yao at the moment, so she could only endure it for the time being.
"Why are you here? Where is the Prime Minister?"
Liu Moqin frowned slightly.
"Dad has some official business to attend to, so he asked me to entertain you two."
Wang Yao said with a smile.
"There's no need to entertain, there's no need to say pretentious polite words, just get straight to the point!"
Liu Moqin interrupted her angrily and said:
"Is my bride here with you? I want to take her back to the Hou Mansion!"
When Wang Yao heard this, the smile on her face gradually faded, and her tone became cold:
"Do you think that the women in our Prime Minister's Palace have to be at your mercy?"
Liu Moqin was startled, as if she didn't expect that Wang Yao would suddenly turn against her, and she couldn't help but be a little dazed.
"What do you mean?"
Liu Moqin's eyes flashed with panic, but she still forced herself to ask.
"Literally! Don't forget, Zhang Yue also has a name, Wang Pei, the eldest lady of our Prime Minister's Mansion! When you touched her, did you consider whether our Prime Minister's Mansion would be happy or not?!"
Wang Yao looked at Liu Moqin aggressively and said:
"If you are not afraid of my father going to the Holy Master to read a copy of your Marquis's Mansion, you can give it a try and see the strength of our Prime Minister's Mansion!"
Wang Yao's threats were obviously effective. Liu Moqin had to restrain himself and stared at Wang Yao with an ugly expression. He pondered for a long time before asking in a low voice:
"What do you want?"
“It’s easy!”
Wang Yao sneered and said:
"I apologize to my sister and promise not to embarrass her again."
"Don't even think about it!"
Liu Moqin was furious, she didn't expect Wang Yao to make such an unreasonable request.
Wang Yao curled her lips in disdain:
"You have no right to refuse."
"you"
Liu Moqin was very angry, pointed at Wang Yao's nose and said:
"Why are you so arrogant?!"
Wang Yao's eyes became fierce and she said:
"Just because we in the Prime Minister's Office have the strength to make your princes surrender, we can crush you to death at will!"
"you"
Liu Moqin's chest heaved violently with anger.
Wang Yao's words hurt her self-esteem so much. She always thought highly of herself, but she didn't expect that she would fall into the hands of a little girl today.
"How about it? Do you want to apologize or not?"
Wang Yao urged impatiently.
Liu Moqin gritted his teeth and said:
"Since the bride likes to stay at her parents' house, let her stay there! At worst, she will never go back to the Marquis' mansion again!"
"Whether my sister returns to the Marquis Mansion, you have to apologize to her. Why are you so cruel to her indiscriminately?!"
Wang Yao pushed back without showing any weakness and had a tough attitude.
