Chapter 538
In the entire capital, there is only one woman who dares to call Duke Zhu so unscrupulously, who is the old lady named Yuan.
The old lady of the Yuan family was younger than Duke Zhu, but it was Duke Zhu's father-in-law who brought Duke Zhu out back then. The Zhu family was originally a military family. However, after a few prospects later, they were once in decline. If it were not for Duke Yuan's support, Duke Zhu would not have made achievements and was granted the title of Duke.
Duke Zhu and Mrs. Yuan went to the battlefield several times together. Mrs. Yuan also saved Duke Zhu once. In order to save him, Mrs. Yuan almost lost his life.
This is not important. After all, on the battlefield, either you save me or I save you. There is nothing to say. But I was born when Duke Zhu gave birth to a daughter and almost died of one corpse and two lives. It was Mrs. Yuan who invited the gods at a critical moment and saved Duke Zhu and Da Zhu's lives.
After owing such a great favor, Duke Zhu did something confused. There was a battle that happened in which Duke Xiaoyao and Mrs. Yuan went to war together. After the defeat, someone reported that they were so happy that they were too happy to command the merits and the soldiers were afraid of death. Duke Zhu actually agreed to go up. The emperor punished the crime and the pension for the injured soldiers was reduced by half.
Mrs. Yuan was furious and swung a mountain-piercing axe to the Duke's mansion and chopped him up, saying that he had implicated his soldiers because of his personal grudges with Xiaoyaogong. Duke Zhu knew that he was injuring the fault and let Mrs. Yuan vent his fault. Although he later reconciled, Duke Zhu did such a loss. He has been respectful and afraid of Mrs. Yuan for so many years. He would not be tough if he didn't manage the fault or not.
Now, Mrs. Yuan came to the door to question the crime. When the servant reported him, he first shrank his neck and showed fear, but he did not dare to delay and went out to greet him immediately.
The Yuan family has many powerful people and shows domineering authority at the Zhu family's home court. No one dares to come forward to ask anything. The Da Zhu family rested in it because of injuries. Therefore, they only knew that someone from the Yuan family came, but they didn't know what happened.
Duke Zhu trotted over and saw the Yuan family's angry faces. The old lady in the lead was even more angry and her face turned pale. In the middle, she could vaguely see the girl who followed the Crown Princess today being supported by someone. She knew that it was probably because of this girl's affairs. Thinking that it was a misunderstanding with Da Zhu today, this was easy to say.
Go forward and bow, "The old lady is here, and she is in a bad mood to welcome her..."
The old lady interrupted him rudely and said angrily: "Ying, Ying is the one who beats her granddaughter to death. It's really Ying. Is her life in the hands of your Duke's Mansion?"
Duke Zhu frowned and felt that the old lady was so silly. "The old lady's words are inappropriate. Today they are just a few verbal conflicts, a misunderstanding. Later, it was explained clearly. I also scolded Zhu Huai. There is no need for you to mobilize the masses."
After hearing this, Mrs. Yuan was so angry that she almost spurted out blood, and her forehead was blue veins, "Verification conflict? Misunderstanding? A misunderstanding can instruct Jingzhao Mansion to arrest people from the Chu Prince's Mansion and take my granddaughter away. Is your Zhu family covered the sky with one hand? The important part of the capital of the capital, which allows you to retaliate with grievances? For decades, your bad habits have not changed. You use your small personal grudge to suppress it and ask your Zhu Huai to come out. I want her to take a good look at whether I, A Si, beat her."
Duke Zhu was so angry that he dared not speak. Now, after hearing this, he was stunned, "Old Madam, what are you saying? Who took revenge? What are you punishing? You have made it clear. Isn't what you said that caused Sun and Zhu Huai to quarrel today? How could he go to the yamen?"
After saying that, he narrowed his eyes and said with a slight slight look: "Why do you always keep the things in the past? People will change. Now I am not so persistent, so don't always talk about the things in the past."
Wouldn't it be nice to give some face? There are so many people here.
The old lady sneered, did not answer, and greeted A Si with a cold face.
A Si limped forward, with crystal tears on his face, and a few red marks on his white little face, as if he had been beaten up. The Duke seemed to have not seen it clearly. Now A Si has to come and almost forced him to see it.
A Si knelt down and kowtowed to Duke Zhu, crying, "Grandpa, I only quarreled with the General's Lady today because I protected the Crown Princess today, but I had never beat her. When I left, I walked with the Crown Princess. The gatekeeper saw it. However, I didn't know that the General's Lady went to the yamen to complain, saying that I had injured her. The people from the yamen broke into the palace and arrested me. They were punished without saying a word. If my grandmother had not saved me, would I still have life? I dare not offend the General's Lady. Please save me and tell me about my love. Can I not offend her in the future?"
After A Si finished speaking, he felt so wronged that he burst into tears.
A Si was a half-aged child, with a straightforward temperament and was very fond of Duke Zhu's appetite. Now seeing her crying so badly, she was beaten in the face and was beaten to the slap, and she couldn't help feeling distressed. Her anger at Da Zhu's climax rose again, and she raised her head and stared at Zhu Houde, "Go, ask someone to go to the General's Mansion to bring your sister here."
Zhu Houde stuttered, "Father, the eldest sister is still in the mansion."
After hearing this, Duke Zhu was furious, "Didn't you tell her to get out? Why are you still in the mansion? Bring it here!"
Zhu Houde did not dare to neglect, so he hurriedly went there himself.
Duke Zhu reached out to help A Si up, and A Si couldn't hold back his tears. The tears came down like broken beads, but he couldn't help feeling aggrieved, "I just couldn't stand her bullying the Crown Princess. The Crown Princess came to treat the Duke's wife with kindness. Why did she want to send the Crown Princess? You don't know that the Crown Princess didn't sleep all night last night, and she was also thinking about the Duke's wife's illness. She had just given birth to a child and was weak. She was kind and kind, and she had not yet written a good word.
No one can stand it. Duke, you didn't say a word to the Crown Princess. Today, while the Crown Prince was not in the mansion, the Minister of the Mansion personally brought people to the mansion, and I didn't allow me to explain a word. The Crown Princess spoke for me, but he said that the Crown Princess was a slave and committed a crime. There was no model of the Crown Princess. What kind of thing was he? Isn't it because the Crown Princess's family was not strong enough that he bullied the Crown Princess? Why are these people so bad? They all rushed to bully people, and I just couldn't stand it..."
As she said that, she sat on the ground and cried, as if she was so aggrieved that she could not speak.
Duke Zhu felt very uncomfortable when he heard her say this. He didn't say anything about the Crown Princess, but he just thought that the Crown Princess had a purpose in treating the disease, at least to win the Crown Prince's proposal. If it was a transaction, it was just someone who was willing to fight and the other someone who was willing to be beaten. What was wrong with him?
