I'm a humble concubine. My acting skills are off the charts. You can check my performance.

The son-in-law of the Li family is now without an official position and has been beaten down by them. Now it is the turn of the women of the Li family.

Meng Yanzhen and Zhao Fangyu looked at each other, and their eyes couldn't help but drift to the same place.

This matter can be big or small. If it is small, it is just a private matter in the harem. If it is big, it is the murder of the official's legitimate son.

The Minister of Personnel holds an important position, so he must submit a memorial. However, he has a history of not managing his family well, which allowed bad people to sneak in. Now that it has happened again, he is afraid that he will be attacked by everyone.

If you submit a memorial, you will have to debate with the scholars; if you don't, you will suffer in silence.

The road is blocked at both ends and it is difficult to travel either way.

Meng Yanzhen fiddled with the Buddhist beads with her fingertips, and the bracelet turned half a circle. Her temperament relaxed, and she was just like she was in front of the emperor in the past, delicate as a crabapple and quiet as a pear blossom.

"You are having a hard time now, take care of yourself."

"Jin'er, there is no plan that won't work. I'm afraid we need to find someone else to deal with these scoundrels."

There are only four girls in the Zhao family still alive. Zhao Fangwei, who married far away, is a smart person and there is no need to worry about her. The rest is Fang Mo. Now is the critical time, but she is not old and it is okay for her to stay at home and study for a year or two. The one who cannot be avoided and attracts attention the most is Zhao Fangyu, who is becoming more and more aggressive.

Meng Yanzhen knew that she shouldn't say this, but as a woman, she had to give Zhao Fangyu some advice to prevent her from getting stuck in a dead end and imitating those loving couples who acted like "you die and I live alone". She reminded her, "This matter is not your fault. If he really can't be saved, you have to figure it out yourself."

People are born knowing how to seek benefits and avoid harm, but under the advice of those pedantic dogmas, not everyone has the determination to make drastic measures.

Zhao Fangyu nodded in agreement, straightforwardly. Meng Yanzhen was just giving her a reminder. Seeing that she responded happily, he knew that she was overthinking it.

So he talked to Zhao Fangyu about the recent news.

"The Third Prince's wife secretly entered the palace a few days ago. She was spotted by someone from Rong Xueyuan early in the morning."

Zhao Fangyu looked calm and not surprised. After all, although she had not received the news of Yang Xiaofei entering the palace, the Yang family had now severed ties with the third prince. Yang Xiaofei could not even go back to her parents' home, and she was not very smart, so she had to enter the palace to seek help from her mother-in-law.

Neither of them is a smart person, and they can't come up with any decent ideas even if they get together.

Yang Xiaofei probably doesn't have the means or the money to find a way to sow discord with the old lady of the Song family.

"Still keep an eye on the Yang family."

Meng Yan really didn't believe that the Yang family could really ignore Yang Xiaofei. The emperor now wanted to save the third prince, and the Yang family knew it very well. Now these cold and distant attitudes were just for the people to see.

"The Yang family has always been watched by someone, no outsiders come in or out, and the servants go out to buy things at random. Now that the Yang family is honest, they always compare prices before buying vegetables. There have been rumors in the market for a long time."

Since the matter concerned Zhou Qinghe, Yang family's Zhao Fangyu had informed Li Qilang long ago. Someone coming from the Li family's old house was watching in the dark and was unfamiliar and not easily noticed.

However, those people did not find out who the Yang family passed the message to, so An Sheng was being too much.

Zhao Fangyu always felt that there was something wrong, but he couldn't figure out what it was for a while.

After the two exchanged information and had a preliminary discussion on countermeasures, Zhao Fangyu left the palace.

There is unrest in the palace, Meng Yanzhen will not sit and wait for death, and wait for her to fight in the harem.

Zhao Fangyu walked and looked along the way. Everyone on the palace road lowered their brows and kept their eyes open, keeping their eyes and ears alert. Even the most insignificant servant could turn the situation around at the critical moment and play an unexpected role.

Zhao Fangyu suddenly thought of Mei Zhanhui who was thousands of miles away, Pei Yan, Zhou Qinghe, and herself.

The world is bustling, all come for the benefit, and the world is bustling, all go for the benefit.

Zhao Fangyu slowly turned around and looked at the majestic palace.

Her glass-like eyes shrank slightly, as if she suddenly thought of something. She turned around and asked someone to send a letter in the name of the eldest lady.

Song family

Shangshu Song and his wife were sitting in the hall, with the eldest lady of the Zhao family sitting on the upper left, Zhao Fangyu sitting below them, and Zhao Zhihuai and his wife sitting opposite them.

Brought up along with the tea was Mother Guo, who was tied up tightly, with bruises all over her body and almost disfigured from being beaten.

Song Bai followed in with Shu Jie'er in his arms. Before she could open her mouth, Shu Jie'er's mouth pursed and she threw herself into Minister Song's arms with tears in her eyes, stumbling and saying, "Grandfather, brother, I'm not good..."

Minister Song thought that something had happened to the child and was about to stand up, but was stopped by Song Bai with the words, "An'er is fine, it's Sister Shu who is worried about Jinniang."

Song Bai actually blamed his father. He couldn't control his mother and indulged her and his sister again and again, so that their good family was now full of holes. Even the mistress was almost killed when she gave birth...

Due to filial piety, he couldn't say anything and couldn't speak it out.

That was his mother, who gave birth to him and raised him. Even if he was unfilial, he could not hate his mother for that.

His mother was not smart enough, and sometimes even stupid, but she was not a bad person. However, it was precisely because she was not smart enough and could not judge people well that she became a knife in the hands of those villains and pointed the blade at her own family.

Mother Guo... was the thieves who came to control the handle of the knife for his mother.

Song Bai's cold eyes fell on Mother Guo. Mother Guo's clothes were newly changed, but because of the struggle along the way, the new clothes were gradually stained with blood.

The maid lit some incense to dispel the odor, but the bloodstains on Mother Guo's body could not be covered up and seeped out from inside little by little.

These days, Mother Guo has not been able to close her eyes peacefully.

In the dark little room, when he opened his eyes, he saw Song Bai sitting in front of him, selecting torture instruments.

The gentle and steady old man in the past seemed to have turned into a cruel official of the Jinyiwei overnight, who would use any means to do so, fearing that she would not feel enough pain and suffer less.

Even if she confessed everything, it was still not enough. Later, Mother Guo realized that Song Bai didn't want answers at all, he wanted her to die.

If Mother Guo wanted to be strong, she would keep her mouth shut and make Song Bai guess who was the mastermind behind all his life. But the punishments were too painful, and by the time the knife cut into his flesh, his brain had already subconsciously given out the answer.
