Chapter 108 One hair is missing, you are the only one to blame
Lu Xinran was a little conflicted. He wanted to go out but was afraid of encountering another strange ambush.
That eldest prince is mentally ill!
He was struggling over whether he should go to Pei to ask if he could go out and take a look, when the servants in the yard came over to tell him.
"Second girl, the eldest girl is coming."
Lu Xinran hurriedly got up and ran to the door: "Why is my sister here?"
"I know you're curious about what's happening outside, so I plan to take you to see it."
"Is it really possible?"
Her eyes widened instantly and she hugged Lu Xinlan's arms excitedly.
Lu Xinlan smiled cheerfully, but felt helpless and anxious in her heart.
The emperor had just ordered someone to deliver an oral order, asking her to take Lu Xinran to the household department.
She couldn't guess what the emperor was thinking. She didn't know why he asked Lu Xinran to go there. What she was worried about now was that there were too many people in front of the Household Department. If someone wanted to harm her, she was afraid that she would not be able to protect her.
Lu Xinran cheered, quickly went back to her room to change clothes, and then stopped her from going out.
The door to the household department was already crowded with people. Tao was kneeling on the ground, sobbing with her shoulders shaking.
With the help of servants from the Lu mansion, they pushed through the crowd. Sister Lu Xinran squeezed again and again and finally made it to the front.
[Oh my god, did she forget her age? Or did she forget to look in the mirror when she went out?]
[Doesn't she know that she has white hair on her temples? This behavior of Ai Ai in the building is really eye-catching! ]
Lu Xinran just came out and started complaining when he saw Tao's behavior.
Zhao is already over 40 years old, and Tao is one year older than Yun. Lu Xinran counted on his fingers and found that the other party is exactly 60 years old this year.
She was sixty years old, and she cried so sadly. Could it be that those officials in the Ministry of Revenue were her patrons?
Tao paused in her crying, and the handkerchief in her hand stopped in mid-air. She realized belatedly, as if she had been electrocuted, that her crying just now was not graceful enough.
She was the lady of an earl's house, not a prostitute who lived on patrons in a brothel.
She has had a smooth life these years and has forgotten how to deal with unexpected situations.
Lu Kangde looked at his two daughters who suddenly appeared in front of the crowd with gloomy eyes.
Ever since that dead girl was brought back from the countryside, everything in the mansion has changed.
For unknown reasons, my mother had completely broken off with my father, and my wife seemed to have gone mad, clinging to her parents' home as if she would never give up.
The eldest daughter, who used to be the most dignified and proper, also followed her everywhere, showing her face in the busy streets. There was no trace of her ladylike demeanor at all.
He glared at Lu Xinran with disgust, then looked at Tao and breathed a sigh of relief.
The other officials who were called out to deal with Tao were surprised by this sudden voice, but this timely complaint also made them feel relieved.
The whimpering of the middle-aged woman was really disgusting. They almost wanted to poke their eyes out.
"Mrs. Rong Enbo."
One of them waited for a long time but didn't hear Lu Kangde speak, so he could only step forward and shout in a low voice.
This was clearly a very common name, but to Tao it sounded like a slap in the face.
Was this an act of contempt for her lack of dignity just now?
She straightened her tilted body and tilted her head to signal the maid to help her up.
"Sir, the Bo's Mansion really can't afford any more money and property. Please make some concessions to His Majesty."
The tears that had been hanging in her eyes could no longer be held back and fell as she spoke.
She had gone to great lengths to get into the Earl's house, not to live a life of hunger.
[Ask the officials of the Ministry of Revenue to pass the message to the emperor? She is really interesting.]
[Does she think Zhao Jingtian is dead? It's not like he can't go to see the emperor. Why should he be allowed to go to such a bad thing?]
[Just because she leaned over and acted in an indecent manner? ]
Everyone who could hear what was going on coughed lightly. They wanted to laugh but couldn't do it too directly.
Tao turned around and glared at Lu Xinran fiercely. How come the carriage didn't kill her when it lost control?
This kind of scourge shouldn't be alive!
If it weren't for her, how could anything have happened to the Bo Mansion, and how could Zhao have the mind and confidence to ask for a dowry for Yun!
Lu Xinran didn't understand what was going on, but he immediately glared back without any fear!
Lu Xinlan, who was standing by, slightly turned his body and blocked the person behind him.
Her cold eyes made Tao's heart tremble, and he subconsciously looked away.
Lu Kangde, who was not far away, finally came to his senses, stepped forward and said, "Madam Rong Enbo, why do you have to embarrass us? If you are dissatisfied with His Majesty's will, just let Rong Enbo come to the palace to see the emperor.
"We are just minor officials in the Ministry of Revenue. How can we enter and leave the palace at will to see the emperor?"
When Tao saw Lu Kangde, his expression changed again and again.
"Before, she kept calling me her mother, but now that something happened at the Bo's Mansion, she has even refused to acknowledge this relationship."
[Returning to my mother! Do you have any shame? You have such a vicious mind, you poisoned Yun's life, and you also ruined her daughter, and you occupied her position and dowry. Do you really regard yourself as Yun's, or do you think that being a vicious stepmother also requires respect? ]
Lu Xinran stood behind the servants and Lu Xinlan and rolled his eyes.
Although she looked down on Lu Kangde's opportunistic behavior, Tao was obviously more disgusting at this moment.
[I'm really worried that the people in the Bo Mansion will die slowly. The emperor's dislike and disgust are so obvious, and he even came to the Ministry of Revenue to make trouble. ]
[Is it because he is worried that there are still people who don't know about the excitement in the Rong En Marquis's mansion, or because he thinks that the people in the mansion have too long a life? ]
[If you have a little more brains, you should keep your head down at this time. ]
[I hope the censors and political enemies will pay more attention to this and investigate Zhao Kaiyan's cheating in the imperial examinations, and also investigate all the things that Zhao Kaile did, such as bullying men and women and killing people on horseback.]
[No one from such a disgusting family should be allowed to live in this world! ]
Tao's legs were sore and weak, and if the servants hadn't supported her, she would have fallen to the ground.
She, how could she say all this again!
Her beloved eldest son was unlucky. He was the god of literature and a seed of reading and writing!
In the crowd, a group of people had gathered together without anyone noticing. Song Junhe, who was sandwiched between the group and dressed in low-key clothes, had beads of sweat on his forehead.
That day, in Wenhua Palace.
Before he left, his father said to him, "Considering that this is your first offense and you were instigated by Lord Rong En, I will not punish you this time, but I cannot let you off the hook for what you did.
"The young one in Lu Jinchuan's family, I want you to protect her well. If even a hair is missing, I will hold you responsible."
He didn't know what kind of mood he was in when he left Wenhua Hall. He just took a deep look at the sisters before leaving.
He didn't know whether his father asked him to protect one person or several people.
But... considering the ability of these two sisters to commit suicide, he would rather be punished by his father.
"Go, have someone protect them. If they have even a hair missing, bring your heads to see me."
Upon hearing this, the secret guards dispersed and quietly sent the people around the two sisters away.
