A strong farm girl is busy getting rich

The Prime Minister's Mansion was indeed in chaos overnight!

Dong Yurou woke up just after returning to the mansion. When she found that her hair was gone, she roared twice and then tried to bang her head against the wall. After being stopped by the servants, she collapsed on the bed, staring at the ceiling with lifeless eyes, looking like she had lost her soul.

The two guards were each beaten with fifty sticks, and then dragged into the woodshed and locked up like dead dogs.

The maid was also beaten with thirty boards, and she was breathing more than she was breathing in.

Prime Minister Dong and Madam Dong were both angry and distressed. Someone actually dared to touch Prime Minister Dong's daughter, and in such an insulting way. It was simply a disregard for their Prime Minister's Mansion!

Dong Chengxiang immediately sent out more than half of the guards in the palace to look for the murderer. If the palace gate had not been locked, he would have gone into the palace to ask the emperor for help!

Mrs. Dong was resentful towards Concubine Dong. If Concubine Dong hadn't summoned Rou'er into the palace so late at night, how could such a thing have happened?

Rou'er came out of the palace so late, and Concubine Dong did not send anyone to send Rou'er back! Dong Yuehe, the aunt, said how much she loved her niece Yu Rou, but at the critical moment, she ignored her niece because of her own daughter's affairs!

Mrs. Dong felt that Concubine Dong should bear half the responsibility for her daughter's encounter with this kind of thing.

So the next morning, Mrs. Dong went to the palace to look for Concubine Dong. Although this sister-in-law was a concubine and her status was more noble than her, the prime minister's wife, the reason why Dong Yuehe could sit firmly in the position of concubine was because of the support of her family members!

Of course, Mrs. Dong would normally be concerned about the status of Concubine Dong Yuehe and would not dare to act rashly, but now that her daughter has such a thing, how can she care so much? She couldn't swallow this breath if she didn't go to Concubine Dong to argue!

Prime Minister Dong's people worked all night but still couldn't find the person who killed his daughter. He wanted to report the case to the Dali Temple and hand it over to the government for investigation.

But then she thought that if she reported the case to the authorities, her daughter's reputation would be damaged, so she gave up the idea and could only continue the investigation privately.

In the palace, because today was the day when the southern army would return to the capital, Emperor Qiyuan hurriedly ended his morning court session and prepared to welcome the soldiers returning from the battle.

When he returned to the imperial study, he saw the queen's father, Li Taifu, kneeling at the door of the imperial study.

Emperor Qiyuan was stunned when he saw Li Taifu. This old man had retired three years ago and rarely came to the palace. Why did he come here today? And he was kneeling here!

Li Taifu was a stubborn person. To put it nicely, he was upright and incorruptible. To put it bluntly, he was stubborn. But one thing is that Li Taifu devoted his whole life to the country and never had second thoughts about Emperor Qiyuan. Therefore, Emperor Qiyuan still respected Li Taifu.

Emperor Qiyuan stepped forward and gave him a false hand, asking, "Taifu, why are you kneeling here? The ground is cold, get up quickly!"

Eunuch Xia was very perceptive and helped Li Taifu up, and said in a shrill voice: "Master Taifu, if you have anything to say, please go into the imperial study and talk!"

Tutor Li did not act pretentiously. He took Eunuch Xia's hand, stood up, and followed Emperor Qiyuan into the imperial study.

"I wonder why the Grand Master came to the palace to see me today?"

The emperor offered Li Taifu a seat before asking.

Li Taifu said with a wronged look on his face: "Your Majesty, you have to make a decision for me. Some people want to bully me because I have retired!"

Emperor Qiyuan only thought that what Li Taifu said was a little funny. Not to mention how bad the old man's temper was, no one dared to offend him. Just because he was the queen's father, who would dare to bully him?

I don’t know who was so blind as to provoke this old man!

Li Taifu said: "Your Majesty, yesterday the Imperial Concubine arrested all the people in my teahouse and smashed it into pieces. I beg Your Majesty to give me justice."

Master Li has two hobbies, drinking tea and playing chess. But Master Li's temper gets worse as he gets older. He always likes to quarrel with people when playing chess. Over time, no one wants to play chess with him.

So the Queen recently bought a teahouse where people can drink tea and play chess, so that Tutor Li can have a place to entertain himself on weekdays.

But outsiders were not aware of this matter, and the blue-clad guards under Concubine Dong did not know who the owner of the teahouse was. Under pressure from Concubine Dong, he had no time to inquire about these things, and he directly stirred up a hornet's nest.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Qiyuan frowned slightly and asked, "Grandmaster, are you saying that Concubine Dong smashed your teahouse and arrested your people?"

Li Taifu said: "That's right, what this old minister said is all true. If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can send someone to investigate."

When Emperor Qiyuan saw that Tutor Li spoke so confidently, he thought that this must be true!

Emperor Qiyuan was a little unhappy, thinking that Concubine Dong was becoming more and more out of line. But he couldn't say anything bad about Concubine Dong in front of Grand Tutor Li, so he comforted her, "Grand Tutor, please go back first. I will investigate this matter thoroughly and give you an explanation later."

Li Taifu had been an official for many years and was a man who knew when to advance and when to retreat. Since the emperor had said so, he naturally would not insist on it any longer and obediently resigned.

After Tutor Li left, Emperor Qiyuan's face darkened and he asked Eunuch Xia to summon Concubine Dong for questioning.

When Madam Dong arrived at Chunhua Palace, Concubine Dong had just gotten up and was washing and dressing.

Mrs. Dong had no choice but to wait outside. She finally waited until Concubine Dong finished washing and came out to see her. But before she could say anything, the eunuch beside the emperor came and called Concubine Dong away.

Mrs. Dong's breath got stuck in her throat, unable to go up or down. Worried about Dong Yurou, she had to go back first.

At the same time, many people had gathered on the streets of the capital, waiting to see the lively scene of the army's return.

In order to meet Zhao Yichen earlier, Shen Qingqian went directly to the South City Gate with the educated youth and waited.

But he didn't expect to see Yang Zhi and Zhou Susu at the city gate.

After not seeing each other for a few days, Yang Zhi looked much more haggard. Seeing Shen Qingqian, Yang Zhi forced a smile and nodded to her as a greeting.

Zhou Susu told Shen Qingqian that Zhao Yichen brought back Yang Sheng's body, so they were here to greet him early.

So that's it! Although the person is gone, being able to bring the body back to the hometown for burial is also a kind of comfort to the relatives!
