Chapter 247 She'll Tear It All Off Today
In the carriage, Wei Fenghua and the lady talked a lot about how the old marquis suppressed the first wife and favored the second wife.
He also said that the old marquis wanted the eldest son of the second wife to inherit the marquisate in the future.
She also suppressed her son severely.
He even stammered that the old marquis would often stare at the second wife in a daze.
Whenever she saw nice fabrics, jewelry, etc. when she went out, she would buy them and have someone send them to the second wife.
But he ignored the old lady.
When the old marquis proposed to combine the two branches, he also designated Shui Qiulan as his niece's wife.
These things are indeed true.
She just took the initiative to lead the conversation to the point where people could imagine something else.
Sure enough, the lady had a look of shock on her face, and her eyes were full of interest.
He kept asking Wei Fenghua about the old marquis and the second lady.
Who wouldn’t want to take a bite of such gossip as that of my uncle and his niece-in-law?
After listening to it, I can’t wait to share it with people I know.
By the time they reached the palace gate, Wei Fenghua had said everything he was going to say.
She thanked the lady and went straight into the palace.
She did not go to see the empress dowager, but went directly to the imperial study to find the emperor.
The lady rushed to meet her friends and told them the big news.
royal palace.
At this time, the emperor was talking with his ministers.
Among them were King Yi and Jiang Ji'an.
When I heard Wei Fenghua asking for a meeting, I was a little confused.
Why did my cousin come here to see him at this hour?
But she was afraid that it was something important, otherwise she would always know her limits, so she immediately announced the meeting.
Jiang Ji'an heard that his wife was running to ask to see the emperor.
I don't know why, but I suddenly had a bad feeling.
The truth is that my wife has been going crazy recently and has done all kinds of things.
The key is not seeing him yet.
Or when they meet, they would scold him before he could say anything and then tell him to get out.
Recently, King Yi and others have been looking for trouble with him, obviously wanting to vent their anger on her behalf.
He was angry and helpless, and there was nothing he could do to her.
The other ministers were also very surprised.
Why did the wife of Marquis Wu'an suddenly come to ask to see the emperor?
If it were any other lady or female relative, they would not be qualified and would not dare to come here to ask for an audience with the emperor.
Before they even get here, they will be stopped and driven away by the palace guards.
In the entire Dayin Dynasty, the only one who received such special treatment was the wife of Marquis Wu'an.
Then everyone saw Wei Fenghua walk in with disheveled hair, red eyes and tearful face, looking like she was running.
It is very inappropriate to come to the emperor in this state.
But no one said anything.
After all, didn’t you see that the emperor was not only not angry, but also looked worried?
When the emperor saw his cousin like this, he immediately asked with concern: "Jiaojiao, what happened to you? Are you being chased by the assassin again?"
The ministers had all heard about Wei Fenghua being hunted down, and they all thought of the same thing.
But Wei Fenghua cried and shook her head, "Not a killer."
She looked at the emperor pitifully and aggrieved.
She said in a panic: "Your Majesty, my eunuch is going to beat me to death. I have no choice but to come to the palace to find you."
The emperor looked shocked, obviously very surprised, "You said the old marquis wanted to beat you to death?"
Wei Fenghua nodded, "Yes, at the flower viewing banquet yesterday, Shui Qiulan talked back to me, so I asked the maid to slap her in the face and teach her a lesson."
"When we were enjoying the flowers, she broke the teacup on purpose to show her dissatisfaction with me and my sister. My sister scolded her and asked her to leave."
"I don't know how she went to complain to the old marquis after she returned."
"As soon as I returned home today, the old marquis asked the butler to stop me from seeing him."
"Then he started to scold me as soon as we met, saying that I was too rude to treat the Second Madam like that."
"He feels very bad for the Second Madam, and he wants to vent his anger for her."
"So he used his father-in-law status to pressure me, saying he would enforce family rules on me."
"Not only will I be beaten with a stick, but I will also be forced to kneel in the ancestral hall as punishment."
"They didn't give me any food or water. I had to kneel for three days and admit my mistakes before I could get out."
"If you don't admit your mistake, you will keep kneeling."
How cruel nature is, how it is made up.
Anyway, what the old man said about her family rules is true, and everyone can check it out.
She cried in grievance, "Since I was born, even the late emperor and the emperor have never beaten or punished me like this."
"Besides, I was just stabbed and almost died, and my wounds haven't healed yet."
"If I were really beaten with a stick, locked up in the ancestral hall without food or water and forced to kneel for three days, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to get out alive."
"But I'm clearly not wrong. It's always the Second Madam who contradicts me, but the old Marquis and the Marquis always side with her."
She pretended to be scared and said, "Now the old marquis wants my life even more. He wants to torture me to death so that he can make room for the second wife and become the legitimate marquis' wife."
"Once she becomes the Marquis's wife, my son will probably die, leaving the position of Crown Prince to the Marquis's eldest son."
She sobbed and wiped her tears, then said, "She is my father-in-law. For the sake of filial piety, I dare not disobey her."
"But I haven't seen my father for several years."
"He is fighting for his country at the border and cannot come back. I want to see him before I die."
"So I came to ask the emperor to send me to the border to see my father first."
"When I come back, no matter how the old marquis wants to beat me to death or make me vacate my position, I will accept it. After all, he is my father-in-law."
"I only ask that the emperor can protect my two sons after my death and prevent them from falling into the hands of the murderer."
This was exactly what the old marquis and the second wife had in mind, and what she said was the truth.
Humph, she will tear down the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion today.
These words made the emperor so angry that his face turned blue.
He even slammed the table heavily, "What kind of life and death is that? He dares to do that."
Then he said angrily, "He favors his niece-in-law too much, but he takes it out on you. It's simply disgraceful."
"Even if you are my father-in-law, you can't be so presumptuous."
"You are the first-rank princess personally appointed by the late emperor, and you are also the niece of the empress dowager and my cousin."
"He is so bold that he would actually use such means to harm you."
He believed what his cousin said.
Otherwise, she has always loved beauty and paid attention to her image. If she had not been forced into a desperate situation, how could she have come to the palace in this state?
It was absolutely true that the old marquis wanted to use family rules against her.
My cousin couldn’t make up such a thing, otherwise it would be exposed if she went to the Marquis’ Mansion to ask around.
So it can only be that the old man wanted to help his niece-in-law vent her anger and use filial piety to make a fuss.
He advocated filial piety, but it was not something that old people should use in this way.
It was also the first time that King Yi saw his wife's sister in such a miserable state, looking pitiful, wronged, frightened and helpless.
The girl who was once so proud actually said that she was ready to die.
This made him feel distressed and uncomfortable.
King Yi, who usually keeps his composure, couldn't help but show anger on his face.
He bowed to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, Fenghua was injured not long ago and almost died. The injury has not yet healed."
"If she is beaten with a stick and sent to kneel in the ancestral hall, it will be the end of her life."
"The old marquis is worthy of death!"
That old guy is going too far.
What the hell, he actually wants to beat Jiaojiao. He simply doesn’t take them seriously.
