Harem Daily Life

Wang Yin was tied up by Shuang'er and Yin Jiu and taken directly to the Jingzhao Yin Mansion. Jingzhao Yin Lord Fang knew Wang Yin and was stunned on the spot.

"Miss, are you saying that this Prince Wang is the flower thief from Fuyan Temple who's been making so much noise lately?"

Lord Fang was somewhat incredulous: "Prince Wang, did you really do those shameful things?"

The Wang family is considered a family of scholars, so how could such a scum be born? Lord Fang really couldn't understand it.

Shuang'er nodded. "He kidnapped me and tried to commit a crime. Fortunately, I was on the lookout and captured him. Please ask a doctor to see if he has syphilis, and then interrogate him rigorously to determine if he was responsible for the previous incidents."

Shuang'er did not reveal that she was the Queen's person. After sending the person to the Jingzhao Yin Mansion, she and Yin Jiu left. They will follow up closely on the subsequent matters.

Tao Yanyan was also a little bit incredulous when he learned that the flower-stealing thief was the former queen's brother.

"The Wang family is really... seeking more and more death!" Originally, because of the collusion with the Canglong Gate, His Majesty showed mercy and did not kill the Wang family. He only demoted Wang Jiao to a commoner, stripped Lord Wang of his official position, and spared their lives.

I didn't expect that the Wang family would have such a villain who harms women. With his crimes piled up, I'm afraid His Majesty will not forgive him so easily this time. The Wang family will have to prepare to lose a legitimate son.

As expected, three days later, the Jingzhao Yin reported the case of picking flowers in Fuyan Temple, and Wang Yin's affair was exposed. The Jingzhao Yin also wrote the verdict on him in a memorial and submitted it to the Imperial Study.

He Linzhang was so angry when he saw Wang Yin's crime that he almost tore up the memorial.

"Outrageous! Truly outrageous! How could a family with a century of history raise such a prodigal son? How did Wang Zongnian educate his children? Humph, it seems I've been too kind to the Wang family time and time again!"

After saying this, He Linzhang wrote a line of comments on the memorial, ordering the Jingzhao Yin to handle the case impartially and give justice to the victim.

Lord Fang had thought twice before submitting this memorial. After all, Wang Yin was the former empress's brother. He wanted to sentence him to death, but considering his status, he hesitated. So he submitted the memorial to his superiors to see the attitude of the palace. After receiving the emperor's reply, he knew that Wang Yin would not survive this time.

The Wang family knew their son had committed a serious crime and tried to find a way to get him back, but they couldn't find any. Wang Zongnian returned home in despair, having found no help.

Wang Jiao sat in her seat with an expressionless face. Looking at her father's expression, she knew that he must have been rejected again outside.

"Master, what's the matter? Can Yin'er be saved?" Mrs. Wang asked crying.

Wang Zongnian shook his head and sighed, "Let's prepare for our funeral. Just... just pretend that we don't have this son anymore."

Wang Yin was Wang Zongnian's eldest son, and it was heartbreaking for him to see his son die young. But he was now completely powerless to save his son. He was no longer the powerful Duke Wang who had dominated the court.

Mrs. Wang's eyes streamed down with tears. She cast her gaze towards Wang Jiao, thought for a moment, and then plopped to her knees. Frightened, Wang Jiao immediately knelt down before her, "Mother, what are you trying to do? Do you still think I have the ability to influence anyone?"

"Jiaojiao, please save your brother! He's your biological brother! Find some connections now and ask His Majesty to spare your brother's life for the sake of your ten years of marriage! We'll take your brother away from the capital, hide our identities, and never return, so as not to bring shame to the royal family. What do you think?"

Wang Jiao's expression was indescribably ugly. After a long pause, she sneered, "Mother, you want to save my brother's life, but have you ever thought about how my face will be rubbed on the ground? Besides, the last time I returned to the palace to claim my property, I no longer had any connection with the royal family. Now if I go and beg for mercy with such a flattering face, who can I ask for mercy from? Mother, please stop making things difficult for me and let me go!"

After saying that, Wang Jiao helped the maid to get up and went back to her own yard. From that day on, she did not go out of the house, and even her meals were brought back by the maid.

Mrs. Wang hit a wall with Wang Jiao. After discussing with Wang Zongnan, she had no choice but to return to her parents' home regardless of her shame.

Her family wasn't high-ranking officials in the capital, but fortunately they had some connections. After much begging, she finally found her way to the Tao family.

Mrs. Tao looked at Mrs. Wang who was brought in by the housekeeper and trembled with anger.

The housekeeper was a little embarrassed and stepped forward and said, "Madam, this is a relative of my wife's sister's aunt's cousin. I couldn't get her to come in any more. Please help me, Madam, and ask the Empress to spare the life of the eldest prince of the royal family!"

Mrs. Wang also smiled and said, "Speaking of which, our two families do have some fate. My daughter has been the Queen for ten years, and your daughter is now the Queen too. We all have sons and daughters, and we always hope for the best for our children. Madam Tao, please, for the sake of my devotion to my children, help me this time!"

After saying this, Mrs. Wang knelt down in front of Mrs. Tao without caring about her dignity.

Madam Tao winked at the maid and had the man helped up. Then she said, "You have no business trying to get close to me. My housekeeper was ignorant and let you in. I can't help you with your request. You should go back."

Mrs. Wang burst into tears and begged, "I've visited several families, but no one is willing to let me in. Only your family has shown some humanity and let me in. I also beg Mrs. Tao to be kind enough to pass on a message to the Empress. This is a great act of kindness, saving a life!"

Madam Tao scoffed lightly, "Your son broke the law and should be punished. His life is life, but the lives of other girls are not lives? I heard that several girls harmed by him committed suicide. Even if they were barely rescued, they contracted diseases and their lives were ruined. You ask me to intercede for someone like your son, and you still have the nerve to do it? Send him away quickly, and don't let people like him come to me again!"

The maidservant beside Madam Tao stepped forward and dragged Madam Wang out. The housekeeper tried to smooth things over, but Madam Tao also punished him: "Housekeeper Zhao, how dare you let someone like that in without permission? Pack your bags, we'll terminate the contract, and you can go work as a housekeeper somewhere else!"

When the Tao family came to Beijing, they didn't take their original servants with them; they all released their bonds. After arriving in Beijing, they bought new servants and maids and hired a new housekeeper.

Butler Zhao had been quite capable in recent years. As a Beijing native, he was well-versed in the relationships between various families and had helped the Tao family quickly establish themselves in the capital. But today, he had handled everything so haphazardly that he could no longer be retained.

Housekeeper Zhao had never expected to be kicked out of the house just because of this, and his mood was extremely bad. After being kicked out of the Tao family at the same time as Madam Wang, Housekeeper Zhao became more and more angry, so he pulled the crying Madam Wang aside and told her a secret.
