In the entire capital, there is only one woman nicknamed Pig Shit who dares to address Zhu Guogong so unscrupulously, and that is the old lady named Yuan.
Mrs. Yuan's wife is younger than Duke Zhu, but it was Mrs. Yuan's father-in-law who brought Duke Zhu out. The Zhu family was originally a military family, but later it was not very promising and fell into decline for a time. If it were not for the support of Duke Yuan
, Zhu Guogong failed to make any achievements and was granted the title of Duke.
Zhu Guogong and Mrs. Yuan went to the battlefield together several times. Mrs. Yuan also saved Zhu Guogong once, and Mrs. Yuan almost lost her life in order to save him.
This is not important. After all, on the battlefield, either you save me or I save you. There is nothing to say. But it happened that Mrs. Zhu Guogong had a difficult delivery and almost killed two people. It was Mrs. Yuan who called for help at the critical moment.
Luoshen came and saved the lives of Mrs. Zhu Guogong and the great Zhu family.
After owing such a huge favor, Duke Zhu Guo did something stupid. There was a battle that year, and Duke Xiaoyao and Mrs. Yuan went out together. After the defeat, someone reported that they were so happy with their achievements that they commanded too much and added soldiers
Due to greed for life and fear of death, Zhu Guogong actually seconded the proposal, and the emperor punished him, and the pensions of the injured soldiers were halved.
Mrs. Yuan was furious. She went to the Duke's mansion with a mountain ax and hacked away at him, accusing him of causing harm to the soldiers because of his personal grudge with Duke Xiaoyao. Duke Zhu knew that he was wrong and allowed Mrs. Yuan to vent her anger, although they later reconciled.
, but after all, Mr. Zhu Guogong did such a wrongful thing. He has been respectful and afraid of Mrs. Yuan for so many years. He can't be stubborn regardless of whether he takes care of the wrong or not.
Now, Mrs. Yuan came to inquire about the crime, and her servants reported to him. After he first shrank his neck and showed a look of fear, he did not dare to delay and immediately went out to greet her.
The Yuan family was numerous and powerful, and they also showed their domineering authority on the Zhu family's home court. No one dared to come forward and ask what was going on. The eldest Zhu family was resting inside because he was injured. Therefore, he only knew that someone from the Yuan family was here.
But I don't know what happened.
Zhu Guogong rushed over at a trot and saw that everyone in the Yuan family had angry faces, and the old lady at the head was even more angry. In the middle, he could vaguely see that the girl who came with the princess today was being supported, so he knew that it was probably for
This girl's matter is a misunderstanding with the Da Zhu family today, so it's easy to talk about it.
He stepped forward and held his hands, "The old lady is here to welcome you, but you are welcome from afar..."
The old lady interrupted him rudely and said angrily: "What the hell, not far away I beat my granddaughter half to death. If I really do, her life will be in the hands of your Duke's government?"
Zhu Guogong frowned and felt that the old lady's nonsense was a bit too much. "What the old lady said was inappropriate. Today they just had a few verbal conflicts. It was a misunderstanding. It was explained clearly later and I also scolded him."
With Zhu Huai in mind, there is really no need for you to mobilize your troops."
After hearing this, Mrs. Yuan was so angry that she almost spat out a mouthful of blood, and the veins on her forehead popped out, "Conflict of words? Misunderstanding? Just one misunderstanding can instruct Jingzhao Mansion to arrest people at Prince Chu Mansion and take away my granddaughter.
Is your Zhu family covering the sky with just one hand? Does the capital of the capital allow you to take revenge? For decades, your bad habits have not changed. You use small private grievances to suppress them with public affairs, calling your family
When Zhu Huai comes out, I want her to take a closer look to see if it was me, Ah Si, who beat her."
Zhu Guogong was hiding his anger in his heart and did not dare to express it. Now after hearing this explanation, he was confused, "Old lady, what are you talking about? Who took revenge? What kind of punishment? You should make it clear. Is that what you said?
Isn't it about the misunderstanding and quarrel between Ling Sun and Zhu Huai today? How did it end up in the Yamen?"
After saying that, he narrowed his little eyes and said a little erratically: "Why do you always bring up the past things? People will change. Now I am not so persistent, so don't always bring up the past things.
explain."
Wouldn't it be nice to give me some face? There are so many people here.
The old lady sneered, did not answer, and greeted Ah Si to come forward with a cold face.
Ah Si limped forward, with crystal tears all over his face. There were a few red marks on his fair little face, as if he had been beaten. The Duke seemed not to see clearly. Now Ah Si could step forward.
He came and almost forced himself in front of him before he saw it.
Ah Si knelt down and kowtowed to Duke Zhu, crying: "Grandpa, I had a quarrel with the general's wife today because I was protecting the princess, but I didn't beat her. I was with him when I left."
The princess left together, and the porter saw it. Little did he know that the general's wife went to the Yamen to complain, saying that I had injured her. People from the Yamen broke into the palace and arrested me. I was sentenced to death without explanation. If it hadn't been for my grandmother.
Save me, if the fifty-fifty board comes down, am I still alive? I don’t dare to offend the general’s wife anymore, so please save me and intercede with me, so that I don’t dare to offend her in the future, okay?”
After Ah Si finished speaking, he felt extremely wronged and burst into tears.
Ah Si was originally a half-year-old child with a frank temperament and was very popular with Zhu Guogong. Now seeing her crying so wronged and seeing her being beaten and slapped on the face, she couldn't help but feel sorry for the big Zhu family.
His fury surged up again, he raised his head and stared at Zhu Houde, "Go, ask someone to go to the General's Mansion to bring your sister over."
Zhu Houde murmured, "Father, the eldest sister is still in the house."
After hearing this, Duke Zhu Guo was immediately furious, "Didn't you tell her to get out? Why is she still in the house? Bring her here!"
Zhu Houde did not dare to neglect and went there in person.
Zhu Guogong stretched out his hand to help Ah Si. Ah Si couldn't hold back her tears. Her tears fell like broken beads, but she couldn't help but felt full of grievances. "I just can't see her bullying the Crown Princess. The Crown Princess came here out of kindness to help the Duke."
Madam treats illnesses, why did she assign the Crown Princess? You don’t know, the Crown Princess didn’t sleep all night last night, and she was also thinking about the condition of the Duke’s wife. She had just given birth not long ago, and she was very weak.
Yes, she is kind-hearted. No one can understand her even before she says a good word. Mr. Guo, you didn’t even say a word to help the Crown Princess. Today, while the Crown Prince is not in the mansion, the Prime Minister personally brought people to the mansion.
Go and don't allow me to explain a word. The Crown Princess spoke for me, but he said that the Crown Princess indulged slaves and committed crimes. Without the role model of the Crown Princess, who is he? Isn't it because the Crown Princess's mother-in-law is not strong enough and he bullied her?
Princess? Why are these people so bad? They all swarm to bully others, I just can’t stand it..."
As she said this, she sat down on the ground and cried, as if she was so aggrieved that she had so many grievances that she couldn't express them in words.
When Zhu Guogong heard what she said, he felt very uncomfortable. It's not that he didn't say anything for the Crown Princess, he just thought that the Crown Princess came to treat the disease for a purpose, at least to win the Prince's proposal. If it was a transaction, it was a deal.
If you are willing to hit someone who is willing to suffer, what do you mean by grievance?
