Quick Wear: If I Had Regret Medicine
Chapter 58 Cannon Fodder in Childbearing Literature 6
Sure enough, when paying respects, Concubine Zhan brought up what happened yesterday and told it to the other concubines as a joke.
Concubine Zhan has always been very arrogant and domineering. Because her father is a general guarding the country and has military power, she has been the biggest hatred of Empress Zhang over the years.
"I wonder if the Queen heard about what happened yesterday. The daughter of the Minister of Rites and the Queen's biological sister actually slept with a man. Which young man is so charming?"
Imperial Concubine Zhan covered her mouth with a handkerchief and pretended to be ignorant when asking the Queen, but the smile on her face was clearly seen by everyone.
"Your Highness may not know that this young man is the second son of Prince An's Mansion. I heard that he is also a famous nobleman in the capital, but he is a little more romantic and amorous." The concubine who spoke also emphasized the word "famous".
She was a supporter of Concubine Zhan and was well-known in the palace for her outspokenness.
Even the emperor liked this about her and told her not to change it, so she was bolder and more outspoken than ordinary people.
"Then her status is indeed good enough, but there are rumors about both families. Which family will the second Mr. Zhao go to propose marriage to?"
"That must be our Queen's biological sister. We can't let her be a concubine."
When Empress Zhang heard these conversations, she was furious. She had spoiled these people too much in the past, which allowed them to act so unscrupulously in front of her.
In her previous life, how could she be so cowardly? These people were so unruly in front of her, but she could tolerate it!
Everyone saw that the queen was silent and her face was as gloomy as water, and they felt that the queen today was different from usual.
The person who was speaking just now quietly stopped talking and dared not speak again.
She was no longer favored by the emperor, but she was still the queen after all.
Seeing that the empress still couldn't say a word despite being beaten with such a stick, Concubine Zhang felt it was boring and just said she was tired and left.
He doesn't care about the queen's face at all.
After Concubine Zhang left, the Queen waved to the others and asked them to step back.
"Call mother to the palace." Empress Zhang instructed the nanny beside her.
If this matter is not handled properly, it will not only affect the Zhang family, but also the Queen.
At the Mansion of the Duke of Fuguo, after the Duke of Fuguo's wife entered the palace, the Duke of Fuguo gave a look to the people around him.
The housekeeper who had been with her husband for decades saw his expression and dismissed everyone else.
"Find a way to deal with the second young lady. Say she couldn't accept the reality after returning and hanged herself."
The Duke of Fuguo touched his chin, his face was cold and there was no emotion in his eyes.
What he just said was as if he was dealing with a kitten or puppy, without any hesitation.
No one could tell that the person he was dealing with was his own daughter.
When Duke Fuguo attended court today, he was impeached by several people for not managing his household properly. He didn't want anyone to find evidence of this and keep holding on to it.
As the empress's father, even though the empress had been unable to establish herself over the years, the emperor had no intention of deposing her.
This is all thanks to his father. If he wasn't ruthless, how could he have accomplished anything great?
It is a shame for him that his second daughter has done such a thing.
The daughter can still give birth, but the Zhang family cannot lose face.
He had already found out what happened yesterday. It was Zhang Jinxiu who tried to frame others but ended up being framed instead.
Although Zhang Jinxiu is ruthless, his methods are still a little young.
Not as good as the girl from the Gu family.
However, the Gu family caused him to lose a daughter who could have paved the way for himself, so just wait for his revenge.
When the butler heard the Duke of Fuguo's words, there was no change on his expression.
When it comes to ruthlessness, this Duke is the most ruthless. He can do anything for his current status and reputation.
Where did this happen?
The butler avoided everyone and quietly entered Zhang Jinxiu's yard with two people.
He saw the Second Young Lady sitting in the middle of the yard, looking silently ahead with a look of heartbreak, her usual brightness completely missing. As the butler, he felt distressed when he saw this.
She has not yet recovered from everything that has happened to her.
Although Prince An married her as his principal wife, the man she liked was never a man like Zhao Chenyuan.
She has someone she loves, and for him, she works hard to build her reputation, just hoping to marry him one day.
But now all this has been destroyed by Gu Xuanhe, and Zhang Jinxiu feels extremely regretful at this moment.
She did all this for Empress Zhang, but up to now, Empress Zhang has not expressed any opinion and has not even sent anyone to visit her.
Just when Zhang Jinxiu was still thinking about this and that, she heard a noise in the yard.
I thought it was a maid who came in. "Everyone, go out. I don't want to eat. I want to sit alone for a while."
But after Zhang Jinxiu finished speaking, no one responded. She looked back in confusion and saw Butler Zhang and two other people standing behind her.
Looking at the expressionless face of Butler Zhang, Zhang Jinxiu was still shocked.
"Uncle Zhang, what are you doing?" Before she could finish her words, she saw one of them holding a white silk cloth and strangling her neck.
Zhang Jinxiu didn't even have time to shout out a word. She looked at everything in front of her in horror. She stood up and wanted to run, but someone pressed her down on the chair.
She reached out to grab the person in front of her, her long nails digging into the hand that was strangling her neck, but no matter how hard she scratched, the other person did not let go.
Gradually, Zhang Jinxiu felt that it was becoming increasingly difficult to breathe, and her feet kicked randomly at everything on the ground.
She looked at Zhang Bo, who was standing in front of her with an expressionless face, with bulging eyes. At this moment, she understood.
It was the Zhang family who didn't want him to live. She wanted to laugh at herself, laugh at her own stupidity, for only now realizing what kind of people her family was, but she found it difficult to do so because she was having trouble breathing.
The feet that were kicking on my feet slowly stopped moving and calmed down.
After confirming that she was not breathing, Butler Zhang ordered people to hang Zhang Jinxiu from the beam.
He waited for a while and made sure the person was completely dead before leaving quietly.
From the time he arrived to the time he left, no one noticed.
The wife of the Duke of Fuguo in the imperial palace looked at her eldest daughter and wondered why she looked different from a few days ago.
Seeing that her face looked very bad, the Duke of Fuguo became a little cautious.
"My Lady, we didn't handle this properly and let that little bitch escape. But don't worry, I still have a way to ruin her reputation."
The wife of the Duke of Fuguo originally had no opinion of the eldest daughter of the Gu family, but she received a letter from her daughter a few days ago.
The letter described a dream she had, in which she dreamed that the eldest daughter of the Gu family became pregnant with the emperor's child after entering the palace.
After having a child, the Queen Mother and the Emperor treated her even better. Even the Queen was overshadowed and eventually died of depression.
How could the Prince of Fuguo's Mansion tolerate what the Queen said? Even if she said that these were all things that happened in her dreams, she would still eliminate this threat in advance.
But she was so lucky that she escaped the disaster.
Not only did he fail, but he also lost his daughter. Thinking of this, the wife of the Duke of Fuguo wanted to tear Gu Xuanhe to pieces.
"I will make my own arrangements for the rest of the matter. I will come here in person. I asked my mother to come to the palace today to ask how you will deal with Jinxiu's matter?"
If this matter is not handled properly, she will become a joke.
"Your father went to Prince An's mansion yesterday and discussed it. The wedding date is set for the sixth day of next month. The girl from the Xu family will also marry into the family, but she will be a concubine."
This matter is not something that can be exposed to the public, so it is best to settle it as soon as possible.
When Empress Zhang heard this, her face looked expressionless and she said nothing.
When she was escorted out of the palace by Empress Zhang's maid, she saw the personal maid guarding the palace gate pacing back and forth anxiously.
"Madam, something terrible has happened. The second young lady has passed away!" The nanny came up and didn't care about anything else. She quickly came to report to her.
"What?" When Lady Fuguo heard this, her eyes went dark and she felt that the world was quiet for a while.
She clutched the nanny's hand tightly, leaned against her tightly, and tears fell uncontrollably.
"What's going on?" she asked in a low voice. Now at the gate of the palace, she couldn't make any loud noise. She could only suppress her voice and walk quickly towards the carriage.
But she felt that her legs had no strength and she couldn't take a step.
After being helped to the carriage with great difficulty, he held Mammy's hand tightly, and asked with red eyes, "Isn't he fine when I was at home? How come he is gone in a moment? Are you lying to me?"
The wife of the Duke of Fuguo had red eyes and couldn't believe that her daughter was gone after she had been away for just a while.
Her daughter was a well-behaved girl, and even though something like this had happened this time, he didn't believe that she would do such a thing.
Moreover, the Duke of Fuguo had already talked to Prince An's Mansion yesterday and would marry her off with three betrothals and six betrothals. At that time, she would also prepare a generous dowry for Zhang Jinxiu.
Given the status of the Zhang family, Zhang Jinxiu's marriage to the Prince An's Mansion was a marriage of downgrade. The Zhang family, which was at the peak of its power, and the Prince An's Mansion, which was already in decline, were not a good match.
Moreover, Zhang Jinxiu is the Empress's sister. Just based on this status, Prince An's Mansion dare not treat their daughter badly.
In order to prevent Zhang Jinxiu from being unhappy, she went over yesterday and analyzed everything to her.
She had gone to see her daughter in the morning. If Zhang Jinxiu wanted to hang herself, she would not have eaten in the morning and would not have asked her to see a few sets of jewelry.
"Today, when I took the maid to deliver food to the Second Miss, as soon as I opened the door, I saw the Second Miss on the beam..."
When the nanny pushed open the door, Zhang Jinxiu's body stiffened.
She was so frightened at that time when she saw the second young lady's pale face and eyes wide open, as if she had died with her eyes open.
The wife of the Duke of Fuguo hurried back to the mansion and saw from afar the maids and servants hanging white lanterns and white banners at the gate.
She fell to the ground all of a sudden. She didn't believe it all and felt like it was all a dream.
Xuanhe had already received the message from the system and she was quite surprised.
I didn't expect that the Duke of Fuguo was so cruel and ruthless that he even spared his own daughter.
But such people are more terrifying, and as enemies, they should be treated with more caution.
Xuanhe called Honghu back, gave her something and asked her to give it to the beggar outside.
From the outside, this thing looks like some food, but there is something fishy going on inside.
When the time comes, there will be a channel to transmit information, and the letter will be delivered to its destination.
Xuanhe knew that the Duke of Fuguo would deal with the Gu family next, so he had to strike first.
However, he will not take action at this critical juncture, but once they find an opportunity, it will be more difficult to deal with them.
The content of Xuanhe's letter was very simple. He just asked someone to deliver the letter to the wife of the Duke of Fuguo, telling her that the death of Zhang Jinxiu was the work of the Duke of Fuguo.
Then it will be much more convenient to do what you want to do.
An inconspicuous little maid in the Prince of Fuguo's Mansion quietly paid attention to the surrounding environment after receiving the things.
At night, the wife of the Duke of Fuguo, whose eyes were swollen from crying, was helped to her room to rest.
The maid found an opportunity and stuffed this thing into his hands when pouring water for the wife of the Duke of Fuguo.
Then turned and left.
The wife of the Duke of Fuguo was just about to get angry. She was already very sad about the death of her daughter, when the maid pushed the door open and poured her tea without anyone telling her to.
How could these servants be so unruly in just one day!
Just as she was about to scold him, she felt something stuffed into her hand.
She swallowed the words she was about to say and watched the maid walk out the door.
Because she was resting, there was no one in the room. She walked to the table and unfolded the paper in her hand.
"Father killed daughter." There were only three words, but these three words were as heavy as a thousand pounds, and they immediately caused a storm in the heart of the wife of the Duke of Fuguo.
She looked around and after making sure that there was no one around, she burned the paper in her hand with trembling hands.
He burned the paper with trembling hands and then sat down tremblingly. He didn't believe that his daughter would hang herself.
And today, when she was cleaning up her daughter's body, she saw something under her fingernails. Although someone had cleaned it, she could still tell that her daughter had grabbed someone else while struggling.
But when she saw the contents of the letter, she still couldn't believe it. It said father killed daughter. Does this mean that her daughter was killed by her husband?
How was this possible? Over the years, the Duke of Fuguo had doted on his daughter even more than she did. She calmed down and thought about what had happened in the past few days.
Just now, the Duke of Fuguo came, but there was not much sadness on his face.
I had doubts in my mind that had never been resolved, but now I finally understand.
The reason why he is not sad is because he was the one who killed his daughter!
She wanted to ask the Duke of Fuguo why he did such a thing, but she stopped suddenly when she thought of something, and she didn't have any evidence.
She recalled an incident that happened many years ago. At that time, when the Duke of Fuguo was still a second-rank official, something happened in the mansion.
At that time, Madam Zhang was seriously ill and would not live for more than a month, which would affect his promotion. If he had to observe three years of mourning, it would have a huge impact on him.
At that time, because she had a bad relationship with Madam Zhang, she had a maid who she had placed by her side, so she knew some secret things.
