"Tianshenu" is obviously a common curse word, and everyone else can say it. How come it was his turn and it became such a heinous thing?
Being grabbed by Princess Ankang's guards and dragged all the way to the palace, Yang Sanlang was filled with grief, anger and grievance.
He really wished he could beat his chest and shout something.
Ahhhh!
This He Tianshi, does she really not understand, or is she deliberately taking the opportunity to cause trouble?
Isn't it just a quarrel and lawsuit? Why did it end up in front of a saint?
As a child of a high-ranking aristocratic family, despising all living beings in the world has long been a habit engraved in his bones.
In the previous dynasty, their family would have dared to despise the royal family.
That is to say, the Great Xia Dynasty did not follow the rules, suppressed aristocratic families, and promoted poor families, resulting in a disorder of hierarchy and the collapse of the system!
It made him just tell the truth, and the result was—
Yang Sanlang was aggrieved. He suddenly received a message from the chamberlain and was inexplicably brought to Tai Chi Palace. Yang Shilang was even more aggrieved.
Damn it!
Why do people sit at home and have trouble come from heaven?
He had a good time drinking tea and appreciating paintings with his friends, but in the blink of an eye he was told: Dear, your son has gotten into trouble! He has offended the saint and the Queen Mother's favorite Princess Ankang!
To be honest, although Princess Ankang is very favored, her presence in the capital is not high.
She is not as flamboyant as those royal princesses or noble ladies of the clan. She rides down the street, bullies others with power, and behaves wildly, all of which have nothing to do with Princess Ankang.
Even her servants did not do such evil things as occupying people's fields and competing with the people for profit.
Princess Ankang is most famous for two things -
First, she is the only daughter of Princess Yongchang and Duke Wei, and she has been raised by a saint in the palace since she was a child.
Second, she married into a poor family and seems to get along quite well with her mother-in-law, who was born as a peasant woman.
Others, there is no more.
Princess Ankang has a soft temper and likes to be quiet, and rarely attends major banquets in Beijing.
However, if she doesn't participate, the ladies can't really ignore her.
And Yang Shilang, who was summoned into the palace by the chamberlain, suddenly discovered after hearing about the stupid things his unlucky son had done, that not only the ladies could not ignore Ankang, but also the courtiers like them had to take Princess Ankang into their eyes.
.
No, trouble is coming!
"Uncle, my mother-in-law comes from a rural background and doesn't understand the rules. But the husband of the Yang family, insulting her in public, is not what a gentleman would do!"
"My mother-in-law was young and widowed. She had to work hard to raise her children by herself. It is already difficult for a widow. How many gossips in the countryside has she heard?"
"I thought that my husband had passed the examination and was promoted to an official position by your uncle, so my mother-in-law and her family would be able to escape the rumors by coming to this prosperous capital."
"I never thought that a man from the family of the Minister of Rites, a well-known talented man in the capital, who has no hatred or hatred, would actually say evil things to my mother-in-law for no reason!"
"...My mother-in-law is just an ignorant country woman. She is not afraid of being humiliated. She is only afraid of causing trouble for my husband!"
"My mother-in-law wanted to die, but she didn't do anything wrong? Why should she suffer this?"
"Uncle! Your Majesty, please seek justice for her!"
Ankang kowtowed heavily.
When she was kneeling in front of the saint, she suddenly felt a strange feeling.
Growing up, she rarely asked for help from her uncle.
Even though she married into the He family, was plotted and chastised by her evil mother-in-law, and was indifferent and betrayed by her husband, she never ran back to the palace to complain or beg for anything.
For one thing, she didn't want her elderly grandmother to worry about her.
Secondly, although her uncle loved her, she always felt that there was still a layer of separation between her and her uncle.
She couldn't do it so confidently and righteously.
However, today she actually knelt down and begged her uncle, not for herself, but for an evil mother-in-law who had treated her harshly.
This feeling is really subtle!
Princess Ankang didn't even react, so why did things develop to this point?
However, now that she has reached this point, she can only keep going.
Moreover, having just performed a big drama with her mother-in-law, Princess Ankang seemed to have been opened to a new world.
Some of the things she once stubbornly held on to didn't seem to be that important.
What face?
What reputation?
Is it really that important?
For example, Princess Ankang has long disliked Yang Sanlang and the entire Yang family.
But according to her nature and persistence, she really has no way to deal with it.
Her mother-in-law is different. She doesn't care whether she's embarrassed or not, and doesn't care whether she'll be laughed at. She just sticks to something and then tries her best to show off——
No, the effect is also remarkable.
Yang Sanlang was in trouble, and Yang Shilang was even more worried.
As for the saint, he didn't seem to feel that the peasant woman "He Tianshi" was so embarrassing. He even looked at her with a faint smile.
Princess Ankang's outlook on life was really impacted.
She seemed to have been inspired by her mother-in-law.
Perhaps for the first time, Princess Ankang actually let go when she acted again.
She imitated the evil mother-in-law and cried and begged in front of the saint. She looked exactly like a wonderful daughter-in-law who would kneel down and beg for her mother-in-law.
The saint sighed, "Oh, my Ankang is indeed a good and filial boy!"
Ankang quickly echoed, "My mother-in-law treats me well, so I don't want to see my mother-in-law being wronged!"
When the saint saw his niece protecting an outsider like this, he felt a trace of jealousy in his heart.
Is there any justice for a child who has been raised by himself to be filial to a country woman?
Well, it seems to make some sense.
After all, in the world's perception, it is natural for a daughter-in-law to be filial to her mother-in-law!
Well, since she is his niece's mother-in-law, and the saint really loves the child he raised with his own hands.
After pondering for a moment, the saint looked at Yang Sanlang who was kneeling on the ground, and then at He Tiantian who was weak and slumped aside, and suddenly said: "Tian's keeping integrity for her husband is out of chastity and fidelity; raising her son to become a talented person is out of strictness."
Mother; treating your daughter-in-law kindly is out of love..."
The main reason why He Tianshi was ridiculed by Yang Sanlang was that He Tianshi's current imperial edict was too low.
But it's just a fifth rank, and it really doesn't mean anything in a capital city where there are as many powerful people as dogs.
Although Yang Sanlang is arrogant, he is not a brainless fool.
If He Tian's rank was high enough, one level higher than that of Yang Sanlang's mother, Yang Sanlang would at most curse him as "a farm slave" in his heart, but he would never dare to say it openly.
Therefore, the biggest contradiction in this matter is that He Tian's identity is not enough.
Even so, let's give her some dignity.
After all, no matter what, He Tian is Ankang's mother-in-law, and the relationship between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is really good!
Not for anything else, just for health!
Yang Sanlang's biological mother, Yang Shilang's wife, was a fourth-grade Gongren.
Among the female relatives of the Yang family, the one with the highest imperial rank was Yang Sanlang's grandmother, who was a lady of the third rank.
Then——
"I am grateful for your character, and I specially reward He Mentian as Mrs. Zhenxian, the second grade!"
The saint generously gave He Tiantian a title of wife.
only--
Zhenxian?
Really free?
Are you sure she's not acting like a monster when she's free?!
He Tiantian complained in her heart, but her face was full of joy and excitement.
She even forgot to thank God.
Princess Ankang, who was still kneeling next to her, reached out and tugged on her sleeves, reminding her: "Mother, thank you for your kindness!"
"Oh! Oh oh!!"
He Tiantian acted like an ignorant village woman. She hurriedly turned over and lay on the ground, kowtowed heavily, "Thank you, Your Majesty for your kindness!"
"Haha, you are also a model of loyalty and kindness!"
The saint was pleased by the clumsy but sincere appearance of "He Tianshi" and praised her again, showing that she "deserved her reputation".
He Tiantian: ...hehe, the original owner is really not the one!
However, with the saint's personal seal, no one can make a fuss about the original owner's past in the future?
What?
You said she was unruly and hooked up with other men?
Humph, the saints say she is a "chaste and martyr woman", do you dare to question the saints?
What?
You say that Mr. He Tian is not kind enough and disciplines his son too strictly?
A strict mother produces a filial son. If He Tian can cultivate his son to become a talented person, he will naturally sincerely advise him to take the right path!
What?
You say that Mr. He Tian is not good to his daughter-in-law?
Well, you should ask Princess Ankang yourself and see what the person involved has to say!
He Tiantian bets that if it were two days ago, Ankang might have cursed a few words in his heart as "a vicious old godly woman".
But, from yesterday on, she has become Daxia’s good mother-in-law, and Ankang will not say anything bad about her!
He Tiantian is very satisfied. Today’s results are really excellent.
"Ding! Yang Sanlang's hatred value is 10!"
"Ding! Minister Yang's hatred value is 30!"
What a beautiful notification sound.
He Tiantian is not enough.
As an excellent superior, the emperor must make clear rewards and punishments.
The reward has been given.
What about punishment?
The saint seemed to have trouble deciding how to punish Yang Sanlang.
Because his fault is really not that big.
If the punishment is excessive, the family will protest.
But if there is no punishment at all, let alone Ankang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, even the saint himself will feel "unfortunate".
After all, for a noble family, the royal family from local warlords is also a vulgar and humble class!
That is to say, the previous generations of kings were domineering and tough, and they worked hard to weaken the family from generation to generation.
Otherwise, a family that has been around for hundreds of years, with intricate roots and luxuriant branches, is really a huge and terrifying force.
However, even if the aristocratic family is now in decline, the saint cannot be forced too much.
He punished Yang Sanlang severely, fearing that the family would bottom out.
But if there is no expression at all, I feel really uncomfortable!
Just when the saint was in a dilemma, He Tiantian suddenly said: "Your Majesty, just forget about this matter!"
"The husband of the Yang family is still young and has little education. Maybe he is not sensible, so he made a mistake——"
He Tiantian begged for Yang Sanlang's mercy in a bitch-like manner.
"Ding! Yang Sanlang's hatred value is 30!"
Shit, you are still young and have read too little!
He, Yang Sanlang, is already in his twenties, and is older than He Xi.
Moreover, who in Beijing doesn’t know Yang Sanlang’s reputation as a talented scholar?!
What does this old godly woman mean?
Does it mean that he is studying but not polite? He is old but not sensible. He is studying in vain? He has horse teeth?!
"Ding! Minister Yang's hatred value is 30!"
Yang Shilang looked at He Tiantian with fire in his eyes.
This old woman has such a vicious mind.
If the saint, through her reminder, asked Sanlang to study more and learn more principles, then Sanlang's reputation would be ruined.
Reading but not understanding, being old but not understanding!
As long as such a label is sealed by the official (emperor), how can Saburo become an official in the future?!
The Yang family father and son hated He Tiantian, but the saint seemed to come to his senses.
He seemed not to have seen the pleading in the eyes of Yang Shilang and Yang Sanlang. He cleared his throat and said, "Well, what Mrs. Zhenxian said makes sense!"
"As a child, you are young and don't study much. It is inevitable that you will be influenced by the gossips in the market. So, Yang Sanlang, I will punish you to read more and study the principles in the book seriously!"
"His Majesty!"
Yang Shilang howled in grief and anger.
His outstanding son was actually trapped in the study by the emperor.
Why read more and learn more principles?
There isn't even a deadline, so we're just going to let them study for the rest of their lives?
Yang Sanlang was stunned on the spot.
His official career is just over?
Originally, his father and uncle had already agreed that his uncle's friends would recommend him to the Imperial College.
Now, the saint has a clear will. From now on, he will be slow to recommend. Even if he lowers his status and takes part in the imperial examination, and gets the rank, he will not be able to become an official.
"Ding! Yang Sanlang's hatred value is 30!"
"Ding! Minister Yang's hatred value is 30!"
"Ding! Yang Sanlang's hatred value..."
Yang family father and son, you are fighting for it to provide He Tiantian with a steady stream of hatred points.
It was not until two days later that Guo Erlang came to Beijing and the Yang family's affairs came to an end. In the depths of He Tiantian's consciousness, he could still hear the hatred values contributed by the Yang family (including cats, dogs and other pets) from time to time.
He Tiantian: ...The Yang family is really awesome.
However, Guo Erlang is here, and the Guo Jiajun matter still needs to be dealt with.
He Tiantian couldn't care less about developing new "customer sources" for the time being, so she had to stay at home and entertain Guo Erlang.
He Tiantian is very enthusiastic and considerate. As for Ankang, Xu has the experience of "cooperating" with her mother-in-law, and is not so repulsive and unfamiliar with the evil mother-in-law she considers.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, one of whom can act well and the other actively cooperates, actually seem to be very harmonious.
Seeing the way He Tiantian and Ankang got along, Guo Erlang, who had been worried, finally felt relieved.
He Tiantian was very discerning. After the greetings were completed, she took the initiative to find an excuse to leave, leaving space and time for the direct siblings to chat.
After sending the servants around him away, Guo Erlang took Ankang's hand and asked carefully, "Is the He family nice to you? Did that boy He Xi bully you?"
"Everything is fine, everything is fine with me!"
Ankang looked around to make sure there was no one in private, then lowered his voice and said in a low voice, "Second brother, please pay more attention to Lieutenant General Ma!"
"Ma Mingchang?"
"Yes! It's him. Yesterday, I mentioned to my mother-in-law that you were returning to Beijing. My mother-in-law accidentally said, 'That Vice-General Ma didn't come back with you'?"
Ankang is indeed simple and weak, but she is really not stupid.
Sometimes, she is even very sensitive.
Guo Erlang didn't think anything of it at first, but seeing Ankang speaking so solemnly, he couldn't help but take it seriously, "Okay, I'll check him carefully when I get back!"
