When Mrs. Wang saw that her daughter was fine, she looked at Mrs. Jiang.

Not only was her face swollen like a pig's head, but half of her face was covered in blood.

"Stop it."

The maid who was beating people stopped, and the maid who was holding down Madam Jiang let go of her hand, and Madam Jiang fell to the ground.

Mrs. Wang said, "You are Mr. He's mother? How wonderful! Isn't Mr. He a filial son? Let him stay at home and be a filial son!"

Old Madam Jiang's ears were buzzing and she couldn't hear clearly. She could vaguely hear the word "filial son".

Anyone who dares to hit the mother of an imperial official is not an ordinary person.

She now realized that it might be someone from the Empress Dowager's family.

Old Madam Jiang was so angry that her mother-in-law set a trap for her. If she didn't tell her who the woman was, she would be beaten.

Mrs. Wang said to the two maids, "When you send Lord He's mother back, tell her what I said: this old woman is disrespectful to the court and the royal family, spouting wild words and plotting to murder the Empress Dowager's niece. For the sake of Madam Mo, I will spare her life. However, I hope Lord He will restrain his mother. If she does it again, I will kill her without mercy!"

The two maids who came with Old Madam Jiang were almost scared to death. They had never seen such a situation before. The maid slapped people without hesitation. The slap was so loud that the old lady shook her head from side to side. After a few seconds, blood flowed from the corner of her mouth. After dozens of slaps, half of her face was covered with blood.

The maidservant followed her master's orders and dragged Madam Jiang out. The two maids followed closely behind, trembling as they walked.

When he arrived at the He family, He Wenyan saw his mother lying on the ground like a dead dog. After hearing what the maid said, she could hardly stand.

He bowed and apologized, saying that he would definitely keep an eye on his mother. Yes, he used the word "keep an eye on".

He personally sent the maid out, and when he came back he saw that the servants had already carried his mother to bed and were waiting for him to give the order to call a doctor.

He Wenyan closed his eyes and could only send someone to call Doctor Zhang.

Doctor Zhang was also surprised when he arrived. He Wenyan said, "I don't know what kind of fruit my mother ate that made her like this."

Doctor Zhang understood and told him to go out and not talk nonsense.

It was just a simple flesh wound, with a few lost teeth, which could be dealt with. But Mrs. Jiang was howling like a pig being slaughtered.

After the doctor left, He Wenyan asked the maids who followed his mother. The two maids told the whole story, saying what the old lady said from beginning to end. They did not dare to say Mrs. Mo's exact words, but just said that she was angry. A two-year-old girl punched the old lady, and the old lady kicked the girl down. The middle-aged woman sitting next to Mrs. Mo kicked the old lady down with her foot, and the two maids beat the old lady.

He Wenyan knew without a doubt that the woman was from the Empress Dowager's family, perhaps the wife of Wang Dongjia.

His hands were shaking. His mother was against him. Not only was she making trouble for him at home, she also went out to his house to let someone find something to hold against him.

The last time he was demoted was because the Mo family stood up for their daughter, otherwise who could order Doctor Wu around?

It can only be the Empress Dowager's person.

This was over. My mother actually kicked the Empress Dowager's niece, who was the Emperor's cousin.

No wonder the woman said that her mother was disrespectful to the court and the royal family.

He Wenyan was disheartened.

Old Madam Jiang kept whining to her son, her words coming out unsettled, and her face ached so much that she wanted to bang her head against the wall.

"It's all... that old woman. She... hurt me. She didn't tell... me... who that girl was. She set me up."

He Wenyan said weakly, "No matter who she is, how can a mother kick a little girl? And even call her uneducated?"

Madam Jiang cried bitterly, "Mother...it's all for you...I want to ask...Mrs. Mo to come back...Mother...it's all for...you..."

He Wenyan stared blankly at his mother. She always said that she was going to destroy the family for him? She was going to lose her wife and her future because of him.

Mrs. Wang came out of the Mo family and went straight back to the Wang family. After paying her respects to the elders, she met her husband alone and cried.

Wang Jingye was furious. He loved his youngest daughter the most. He was not there when she was born, and he entrusted his daughter to the Mo family for care due to various matters in the capital. How could Lord He's mother kick her daughter and say that she was uneducated?

He sent his wife back to the farm and met Eunuch Liang in the evening. He said that it would be a good idea for Lord He to be a Censor in the Ministry of Personnel.

Doctor Wu felt his scalp tingling. Lord He was demoted from the fifth rank to the seventh rank.

Relatives by marriage are not allowed to interfere in politics. Generally, they use their connections to promote people to higher positions, and sometimes they demote people. They have to bear the consequences of offending others.

I don't know how Lord He offended the Wang family. It should be impossible. Given the relationship between Queen Mother Wang's cousin and the Mo family, they would not make things difficult for Lord He.

Doctor Wu didn't dare tell anyone about this matter. He could only find a reason and claim that Lord He had made a mistake in his official duties to demote him.

Later, let the lady visit the Mo family. Don’t say anything, just try to get close to them and maintain friendly relations.

It was impossible for Eunuch Liang not to tell Queen Mother Wang. Queen Mother Wang frowned. If my cousin was so angry that he went to find Eunuch Liang in person, it must be a big deal.

She asked, and Eunuch Liang had already found out everything and told her everything.

Queen Mother Wang's face darkened. "It seems that Lord He's mother has an imperial decree."

Needless to say, Madam Jiang became Old Lady Jiang. Eunuch Liang said to the female official who announced the imperial edict, "I heard that Lord He's mother has a sleepless night and cannot leave the house."

The female official understood and went to the He family. After announcing the decree, she said to Lord He, "Your mother is ill. It is best for her to recuperate at home. I heard that Lord He is a filial son. Please take good care of your mother."

Well, Madam Jiang is under house arrest, and indefinitely.

Even when He Wenyan was demoted to the seventh rank, Doctor Wu came in person to comfort him, saying, "You are a filial son. Take good care of your mother at home and don't worry about the government affairs. I heard that Yunnan and Guizhou are short of teachers. Fortunately, you have taken leave to take care of the sick."

The last sentence was said by Eunuch Liang, who also said that Lord He was fortunate to have a good son and his son had a good teacher.

What I mean is that it was not because of the Mo family, because of the Mo family, and because of the Mo family's four children that He Wenyan was sent to Yunnan and Guizhou to educate the local mountain people.

In this way, although He Wenyan was demoted, because of Yue's family, he could take care of the patient indefinitely and still receive a salary from the court.

He Wenyan was so sad that he could not even cry. I have great ambitions to study and become an official, to serve the imperial court and to fight for the He family.

In the end, it was all ruined by my mother.

He didn't think that the Mo family was tolerating it again and again, and that his wife was at the end of her patience. Instead, he thought, since I'm in such a difficult situation, why doesn't my father-in-law forgive him for the sake of the four children?

Are we just going to kill them all?

What benefits will this bring to the Mo family and to the four Shanluo siblings?

Why not ignore his foolish mother for the sake of his respect towards the Yue family?

Tell him that he will restrain his mother and stop her from making trouble. Is it necessary to report the family matter to the higher-ups and have him demoted?

He knew that it was his mother's fault and that it was his mother who was making trouble, but this was a matter between women. He could make amends, so why did she keep harping on it?

The Mo family never took him seriously.

He Wenyan's head was buzzing as he listened to his mother's wailing. He wanted to stand up, but his body was too weak.

He supported himself on the table with his hands and exerted force.

I felt half of my body was numb, and when I lifted my legs, they felt weak.

He felt something was wrong and wanted to call for help, but his hands gave way and he fell to the ground.
