Side Story, Hu Yulin Jie 14
“Take him away,” Minister Lian waved his hand.
“You’ll see your parents,” he said coldly.
Zhou Qianqian had been captured, and the servant girl who served her ran back with a pale face to report that the daughter of a minister had been captured. This was an extremely shameful matter, and the Minister of War had captured their daughter without waiting for their consent.
Prime Minister Zhou was furious. Madam Zhou was also furious.” This Lord Lian is too much. How could he capture Qianqian so openly? He simply doesn’t put the Old Master in his eyes!” Who does he think he is? How dare he do this?”
Prime Minister Zhou glared at Madam Zhou in annoyance.” It’s all because of your good daughter. What did she do?”
” 1 really don’t know. Qian Qian hasn’t done anything recently,” Madam Zhou said with her head lowered.
If he didn’t do it, how could he be captured if he didn’t do it?
Prime Minister Zhou suppressed his anger. The servant who had been scouting for information quickly returned and reported in a trembling voice,” Old Master, it’s the late General Ming’s wife. She and His Highness the Crown Prince beat the drums and complained about the Young Miss after the Ministry of War. The General’s wife said that our Young Miss had drunk poison ink on two Young Miss Ouyang and dyed their faces, causing them to be disfigured…”
A woman’s appearance was extremely important. If this crime was confirmed, Zhou Qianqian’s life would be ruined.
Who would marry a woman who had such vicious thoughts before she got married?
Being vicious in the dark and being vicious on the surface were two different things. If someone found out and caused a huge commotion, it would be wrong.
Women could not do without tricks, but they could not do without brains if their tricks were too vicious.
Madam Zhou staggered and looked helplessly at Prime Minister Zhou.” Old Master, I, I really didn’t know what Qianqian did. She’s your daughter after all. You have to save her.”
Prime Minister Zhou was deep in thought. Madam Zhou started to cry.” It’s not certain who is in the wrong. Even the Lord didn’t investigate clearly and arrested them. He really didn’t give you any face. There are so many people in the Academy. Why didn’t Qianqian bully others? Those two people are not good people. They must have done something bad.”
“Master, Nancy isn’t engaged yet. We can’t let them destroy her.”
Mrs. Zhou was angry and resentful. Prime Minister Zhou felt that what she said was not unreasonable. Even Minister Lian did not give him face, but now that the matter had already happened, he could only resolve it.
Zhou Furen cried and said how important Zhou Qianqian was, reprimanding Minister Lian for not giving him face and so on.
Prime Minister Zhou pondered for a while and interrupted the crying Madam Zhou.” Since we’re going to court, we can’t lose. Whether Qian Qian is in the wrong or not, she’s not in the wrong this time. When we come back, discipline her properly. Go to the General’s Estate. General Ming is already dead. What is the General’s wife? Put pressure on her and ask her to think about her family before she does anything.”
Without an heir, the General’s household would not be able to survive. For the rest of her life, she, Chu Guanyu, would still have to rely on her brothers.
“Alright, alright.” Madam Zhou nodded.
Prime Minister Zhou then instructed,” While you are at it, put pressure on the Chu Family. Lord Chu and Madam Chu are both smart people. Just let them convince Chu Guanyu. Later, go to the Ministry of War and see Qian Qian to comfort her. Tell her not to speak nonsense. When I have a plan, I will tell her what to do.”
With the Chu family pressuring him and a warning from him, everything would be fine.
After weighing the pros and cons, Chu Guanyu had no choice but to agree.
Madam Zhou nodded repeatedly and wiped away her tears.” Alright, I’ll go to the General’s manor now.”
Prime Minister Zhou was annoyed that Madam Zhou did not discipline her daughter well, but he was even angrier that even the minister had given him face. His dignity had been challenged, and he could not tolerate this.
Whatever face Minister Lian had given him today, he would return it tomorrow.
Zhou Furen left the manor and went straight to the General Manor.
A servant hurried over to report to Hu Yu.
Hu Yu raised his eyebrows.
Xuemei’s eyes were red. She was so angry that she gritted her teeth.” Madam, the Prime Minister’s wife must not have good intentions if she comes at this time. Why don’t we just disappear?”
” 1 see you.” Hu Yu took a big gulp of chicken soup.” Why not?”
If he came at this time, he definitely wanted to bully her. What was there to be afraid of?
It was a good opportunity to teach Ouyang Mingzhu and Ouyang Mingyue a lesson and let them observe what it meant to be proficient in the art of tea.
Hu Yu gulped down the chicken soup. She put down the bowl and said to Xuemei,”Ask her to come and see me. Ask Mingzhu and Mingyue to come too.”
Ouyang Mingzhu and Ouyang Mingyue did not know what Hu Yu wanted to do. Hu Yu winked at the two of them.” Learn from them later. There’s no need to say anything. Just feel wronged.”
Both of them nodded.
Madam Zhou came in very quickly. She couldn’t help but cover her nose. The smell of blood was too unpleasant.
Madam Zhou frowned as she looked at the half-dead figure on the bed. She felt disgusted. She looked at Ouyang Mingzhu and Ouyang Mingyue, who had large black marks on their faces, and felt even more disgusted.
Madam Zhou said coldly,” General’s wife, why must you do this? What matter can’t be resolved privately? Why must you make such a big fuss and embarrass everyone? What can you change after suffering today? I don’t think you know the truth. It must be because your two sisters have bad morals.”
“What does Prime Minister’s wife mean by this?” Hu Yu’s eyes were brimming with tears. I believe that the heavens will definitely give our Ouyang Clan justice.”
Madam Zhou was annoyed.” Of course, justice will be given. You are a good sister-in-law, but your two sisters-in-law are not good sisters-in-law. You have to think about it carefully. Lord Chu probably doesn’t know that you are so impulsive. My daughters have always been obedient and sensible. How could they do such a thing? 1 know that they are very unpopular among the students.”
” You’re right.” Madam Zhou looked at Ouyang Mingzhu and Ouyang Mingyue coldly.” Tell me, did you guys come up with a plot to frame my daughter in order to gain attention?”
This time, even without Hu Yu’s guidance, Ouyang Mingyue and Ouyang Mingzhu felt extremely wronged. They shook their heads and looked at Madam Zhou with tears in their eyes.
Hu Yu was very satisfied when she saw the two young ladies being so understanding. She stopped pretending and looked coldly at Madam Zhou.” If the Prime Minister’s wife wants to say this, you can go back now. You want to protect your daughter? I think you’re dreaming. If 1 were you, I wouldn’t step into the General’s Estate. You’re too stupid to be saved.”
Madam Zhou was a little overwhelmed by Hu Yu’s sudden change in attitude. She pointed at Hu Yu’s face with a trembling finger.” You, you really have ulterior motives. You’re too vicious.”
“Send the guests out,” Hu Yu said with a smile.
Madam Zhou was so angry that she cursed,”B * tch…” I want to expose you…”
Madam Zhou cursed as she walked out. Hu Yu looked at Ouyang Mingzhu and Mingyue, who were in a daze. She said,”Do you know that seeing is believing and hearing is not?” Everyone knew that the Prime Minister’s wife was bullying her, but was that really the case? Watch me teach you a ruthless move.”
Hu Yu smiled evilly and said to Xuemei,” Xuemei, go and get the white silk. I want to fake hanging myself and then call the doctor. 1 promise that tomorrow, everyone will know that the Prime Minister’s wife is going to force me to death..”
