The general's wife is too naughty, she starts to flirt with him

Compared to the crazy journey here, Song Qingci felt much more relaxed on the way back.

Even Xiao Hei, who had been kept in the space, was released and ridden slowly all the way back.

Moreover, on the way back, Shan Li occasionally took a detour to change guard, so that it took them almost two months to travel from Qianfeng Pass to the capital.

They returned leisurely, but the capital city was extremely bustling.

Lou was extremely worried. The rumors were spreading all over the capital, and even she, a woman living in the inner house, had heard about it. Who knew what would happen outside?

If it was just gossip about her son, she wouldn't be so anxious and angry.

After all, my son is a man. It doesn't matter if people talk about him. There won't be anyone who is blind enough to gossip about him.

However, the message now includes my daughter-in-law!

How important is a woman’s reputation!

Being slandered like this would cause serious consequences.

Shan Xi saw her mother was so angry, she comforted her, "Mother, these things have come to an end when they reach you, but they must not be spread to Jing'an Hall. Grandmother is already thinking about my brother and sister-in-law, if she heard these dirty words, I don't know how upset she would be."

"Don't worry, I've already made sure that this matter won't reach Jing'an Hall." Lou also understood the interests involved and blocked the news as soon as he heard the rumor.

"However, mother, the people in this mansion still need to think carefully. How can the rumors outside flow into the mansion so easily? We can't neglect the discipline of the servants just because my brother and sister-in-law are not in the mansion. If we find out that someone has bad intentions, they should be punished or sold. We can't let a bad apple spoil the whole barrel."

Shan Xi's words and deeds are now very mature, and there is no trace of his earlier childishness.

So, facts are the best way to test people.

If Shan Xi was still protected as always and turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside, she would not have the way she does things now.

Mrs. Lou was very pleased to see her daughter like this.

"I see. I've asked someone to investigate again. We really can't tolerate people with ulterior motives in the General's Mansion. However, regarding this rumor..."

"Mother, just wait and be at ease. My brother and my sister-in-law are not the kind of people who will be fooled. Who knows who will be the one to take the brunt of this turmoil in the city."

"My sister-in-law has sent a message back. They will be in the capital the day after tomorrow at the latest. By then, those who have evil intentions will surely suffer the consequences."

"You're right. Your brother and sister-in-law are both capable people. This little thing shouldn't be difficult for them." After talking with her daughter, Lou felt relieved.

She waited to see what the final fate of those who had ulterior motives would be.

royal palace.

Queen Zhou was still reviewing the list of people to be released from the palace this time.

His Majesty the Emperor's recent behavior has rendered the concubines in the harem virtually useless.

Those palaces are not cold palaces, but worse than cold palaces.

Since His Majesty the Emperor doesn't go, there is naturally no need for so many people to serve him.

It just so happened that this time the palace maids who were older were going to be released from the palace, and Queen Zhou planned to save money by releasing more people.

Except for the queens who were in the rank of concubine or above, who were allowed to stay with four palace maids and four eunuchs to serve them, the rest were also released.
