Abandoned daughter takes charge of the family, so rich that even the best people can't envy

Chapter 428: Are Demonstrations Possible?

The princess was deposed and became the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo. Although the old housekeeper hoped that the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion would have a real mistress, he did not know that this was not a good thing.

In the capital, some ignorant noble ladies held a banquet to celebrate, saying that it was unjust for a woman to be in power, and now things have finally been restored.

He secretly sent people to investigate, and the leader turned out to be the third daughter of General Dingguo's mansion.

General Dingguo had fought alongside the Crown Princess, and even his family had this attitude. How sad would their young mistress be?

However, there is an even stranger phenomenon. Although the young mistress was deposed, a large number of memorials were still secretly delivered from the palace every day, and Song Jinxiu was still as busy as ever.

It is right to do one's job and fulfill one's responsibilities, but if one is not in the position but still wants to do the job, isn't that an act of usurpation?

What is the deposed princess going to do?

What is the emperor doing?

He was pleased to see the young master and mistress being so close to each other, but the actions of the deposed princess made him uneasy.

Now, the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and the deposed princess are in the same boat. The uneasy old housekeeper can only order people to strengthen patrols, polish guns, and sharpen knives. Once the master gives the order, they will charge into battle.

At Qinzhong Mansion, the long-prepared chrysanthemum viewing banquet finally began.

Qin Zhong was promoted by the Poison Queen of the Haunted House and was a newly promoted upstart in the imperial court. Naturally, there were many people who fawned over him.

At the banquet, the topic of the deposed princess naturally became the focus.

"Have you heard? The princess has been deposed."

"How could she not know about such a big thing? Alas! A princess from another family should just be a princess. She wants to ascend to the throne and become the empress. She is too ambitious."

One of the sisters whispered quietly, "I was thinking that now that Her Royal Highness the Princess has become a Crown Princess, we women will finally be able to hold our heads high. My cousin is even dreaming of becoming a female official too."

"What are you talking about? It's natural for a woman to take care of her husband and children. Going out to be an official, like a rooster crowing at dawn, is against moral principles. Which decent man would want to marry her?"

"That's right. Last time, my little illegitimate sister was tricked into going to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. It was so embarrassing."

Qin Ge, the eldest daughter of Qin Zhong, is eighteen years old this year. While she was inviting the girls to drink tea and listen to music, she was listening to their gossip.

Humph! How dare a concubine's daughter covet the Duke of Zhenguo?

My father wanted me to marry into the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion as his second wife, but the Duke of Zhenguo refused.

He said that he and the Crown Princess loved each other and would be together for the rest of their lives.

Before, the Crown Princess was Chu Jun, so it was naturally difficult for her to compare with her. But now that the Crown Princess has been deposed, are they still going to be a couple for the rest of their lives? Why?

Qin Ge had no feelings for Su Mo, but being rejected, especially as a second wife, was something she couldn't swallow.

She calmly winked at her half-sister beside her.

His concubine sister, who always followed his lead, quickly stepped forward and sneered, "Everyone only knows that the Crown Princess was deposed, but do you know why she was deposed?"

Qin Ge stood behind his concubine sister, with a scornful smile in his eyes.

Everyone looked at the expressions of the Qin sisters and looked at each other.

Is there some hidden secret that they don't know?

"Sister Qin, your father is the Prime Minister and a close friend of His Majesty. Could he know any inside information?"

"Yes, if Sister Qin knows anything, please tell us sisters, so that we don't do anything wrong without knowing it."

Qin Ge finally sighed and said, "Ah! I heard that the Crown Princess actually wanted to take the Fourth and Third Princes as concubines. That's why His Majesty was furious and wanted to depose the Crown Princess."

"Huh? This is too, too absurd. They are brother and sister!"

"Isn't it? How can brother and sister get married? And taking her as a concubine? Isn't this a slap in the face of the two princes and the face of His Majesty? No wonder His Majesty can't tolerate it and wants to depose her."

Qin Ge looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Everyone urged again, "Anything else? Sister Qin, just tell us. We are all on your side."

Qin Ge said helplessly: "In fact, His Majesty now even wants to take back the title of the Princess. It's a pity that she was indeed arrogant and domineering in the past and had made some achievements.

There was no reason, and in order to avoid unrest among the people, they tolerated her returning to live in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

The concubine said, "Your Majesty is always kind-hearted and always considers the overall situation. But sister, since His Majesty has no excuse, then we can give him one. Sister, you are so smart, you must have a solution, right? I am sure the sisters are willing to help His Majesty solve his problems."

If they can help His Majesty with his worries and difficulties, then wouldn't they be meritorious officials? Maybe they will even catch His Majesty's eye.

Not to mention being awarded the title of princess or county lady for their merits, just a few words of praise from His Majesty would take their marriages to the next level.

So everyone rushed forward and quickly gathered around Qin Ge and said, "Yes, Sister Qin, if you have a solution, just tell us. As long as we can help His Majesty solve his problems, we will do our best to help."

Qin Ge looked at everyone with satisfaction, "Well, everyone is a man of great righteousness. We women are as brave as men and can help His Majesty solve his problems."

"The Crown Princess, no, the deposed Crown Princess, should never, ever, disrespect the Third and Fourth Princes and take her own brother as a concubine. This goes against the principles of morality. Let's go to the gate of the Zhenguogong Mansion and attack her."

As he spoke, Qin Ge waved his hand, and several concubines' daughters and some daughters of low-ranking officials, holding banners written on red silk in their hands, marched out of the Prime Minister's Mansion and headed straight for the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

The banner read: "The eldest princess has violated moral principles and her title is revoked."

This has been prepared for a long time.

The woman in front was looking very aggressive, and behind her were the wives of officials of the third rank and above, sitting in sedan chairs and carriages.

The gate of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion was surrounded again.

The last time was because of the Duke of Zhenguo, Su Mo. The girls did all kinds of tricks and it was embarrassing.

This time it was for Song Jinxiu, the girls were well organized and the atmosphere was high.

On the roof of the main hall of the Zhenguo Mansion, Song Jinxiu, Su Mo, the Thirty-Six Guards, and the Twelve Guards were all there, watching the fun.

Song Jinxiu looked at Gao Yang holding the colorful banner and the women shouting slogans below, and couldn't help but laugh.

Is this a demonstration?

Whose idea was this?

It's a talent.

Su Mo frowned: "A bunch of restless women, and you can still laugh?"

Song Jinxiu said: "What's wrong with women? Women who are restless can cover up half the sky."

Thirty-six Guards: If the master is here, we won’t just control half the sky, but cover the whole sky with one hand.

Twelve Guards: This young mistress and the Thirty-Six Guards are so calm. We can’t bring shame to the master.

So the twelve guards all had blank expressions on their faces.

The old housekeeper said: "Close the gate tightly and strengthen the guard. Anyone who dares to break in will be killed... beaten out."

There was a knock on the door of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

……

In the court, the officials were divided into two factions.

One group spoke up for the Crown Princess and begged the Emperor to revoke his decision.

The Crown Princess's abilities are obvious to all, and her achievements are known to the world. Deposing the Crown Princess because of such a trivial matter will disappoint the people!

One faction took the opportunity to add insult to injury and nominated the fourth prince as the crown prince.
