To get rich quickly, you need to be simple and rough

Xu Huizhen was very satisfied with Lin Zhengwei's miserable condition. Sometimes death is easier, and living half-dead is the most painful.

The Third Prince's wife thought alike. As the mistress of a royal palace, she knew that Concubine Shen had offended the prince, and she was really curious about what this woman had done to commit suicide. Now Tingyu Tower was a taboo in the palace. No one dared to mention it, and no one dared to go there.

The Third Prince's wife knew that Tingyu Tower only received two meals a day. Nanny Zhou, a trusted confidant, had seen the prince's men go to the kitchen to fetch food for Tingyu Tower. They were served savory fare like black flour buns, cabbage soup, and pickled vegetables. This was worse than the horses in the stables. War horses could only eat a few eggs.

When Shen Yuzhu woke up, she felt pain all over her body, and her clothes were still torn. The nanny was extremely rough when examining her, and Shen Yuzhu's skin was rubbed raw.

Shen Yuzhu's skirt was stained with blood, and her pink wedding dress hung on her body like a joke.

Shen Yuzhu was crying bitterly, and her maids Chuncao and Lianzi came out of the bedroom.

Xia He slapped Shen Yuzhu in the face, "You bitch, you did such a shameless thing and you still dare to cry?"

Lian Xin: "I was wondering why such a good job as a maid would fall to me. It turns out that you are a bitch who is courting death. Everyone knows about it."

Xia He: "A bitch like you would be drowned in our hometown. How dare you still be alive?"

Lianzi: "Sister Chuncao is a bitch who can't help herself after leaving a man. She's so bold as to cheat on the prince. I was wondering how this slut Chuncao could break her leg out of nowhere. It turns out I already knew what she was up to."

Xia He: "Now that you mention it, it reminds me that this bitch went out to meet friends a few days ago under the pretext of looking at flowers, and every time she brought Chuncao with her."

Xia He stepped forward and kicked Shen Yuzhu, who cried out in pain.

Lian Xin: "It's no use even if you scream. The prince has sent people to block this place. My sister Xia He and I have been unlucky for eight lifetimes because of you. Our lives are over, and we can't survive."

Xia He and Lian Xin knew that they were going to die anyway, so they just gave up and bullied Shen Yuzhu every day.

The two men took all of Shen Yuzhu's dowry and the money she had on her to exchange for food.

The guards did not make things difficult for the two melon eaters. As long as they paid silver, they could buy food and drink.

The eight servants who came with Shen Yuzhu hated her deeply. Who would care about this former lady when she was about to die?

In order to cover up his shame, the Third Prince would not let anyone in the Shen family survive. How could Shen Yuzhu and Lin Zhengwei, who are from a noble family, dare to do this?

So the situation in Tingyu Tower is very strange now. The servants are desperate and use Shen Yuzhu's dowry to eat and drink lavishly, while Shen Yuzhu can only eat coarse food and vegetables every day.

Shen Yuzhu knew it was all over. The Third Prince had discovered her and Lin Zhengwei's plan. This was a dead end.

She hated Lin Zhengwei for his audacity and for doing such a terrible thing. Now Shen Yuzhu hated the Third Prince, her stepmother, her father, her aunt for being incompetent, and Xu Huizhen for being lucky. She regretted it now.

Xu Huizhen, who was hated by Shen Yuzhu to the core, was eating crabs at home. The autumn wind blew and the crabs' legs itched. The farm sent ten baskets of crabs today, each weighing four taels and extremely fat.

Xu Huizhen took fifty taels of silver to the kitchen and asked them to prepare three tables of banquet. The delighted kitchen maid kowtowed to Xu Huizhen and said, "Even if you are a big belly, you can't eat fifty taels of silver. You love us servants, but we must be sensible, right? Miss Feicui, this is too much. Forty taels of silver for the top-quality bird's nest and abalone is more than enough."

Feicui: "The young lady said she was happy today, so you can share the rest and have a cup of chrysanthemum wine. Send one table of food to the young master in the front yard, and one table to the master and the guests. For the rest, you can prepare some food that the wives and grandmothers like. The young lady is treating us all."

The cook said: "Please tell Miss Feicui that the inner kitchen will definitely be outstanding this time and will satisfy your heart."

The kitchen staff worked with utmost care, knowing that the ladies and the girls couldn't eat greasy food, so they put a lot of effort into making the dishes more varied.

For example, a plate of peach cakes looks exactly like real peaches, with a soft, slightly sweet skin and a thick, peach jam filling made from real Dangshan peaches. The delicious flavor is so lovely when you bite into it, and it's placed on a plate with azure glaze.

Fresh shrimps are wrapped in crystal skin and made into various similar small animal shapes, which look crystal clear.

Use jasmine tea to mix the dough and make jasmine flower-shaped noodles the size of a fingernail. Cook them in broth and serve them in a small white official kiln bowl.

The crabs are steamed in a steamer in the kitchen and brought out in a food box with an insulation cover. After finishing one steamer, another steamer will be taken out to ensure that the crabs are hot.

Han and her two daughters-in-law enjoyed the meal, but the grandsons were too old to eat crabs, so the children had a lot of snacks and soup. When the hot Fu Shou Quan was served, the children each finished half a bowl.

Han was very happy to see the family getting along so well. She asked the maid to take the child to the garden to help digest the food.

It seems that the emperor can't hold on any longer, and the fight for the throne has entered a white-hot stage. The third prince is the queen's legitimate son, but the eldest prince and the fifth prince have the support of their in-laws and have certain influence in the court. In particular, the fifth prince's in-laws are the Duke of Wu, who holds military power.

The fifth prince's mother, Concubine Shu, was a favorite in the harem. So, she and her followers, along with the eldest prince, came to the palace with 5,000 elite soldiers. Inside the palace, Concubine Shu bribed hundreds of eunuchs and forced the old emperor to write a decree to pass on the throne. The old emperor, unable to bear the pressure, died.

Duke Xu Mingqi of Chu also tried his best to suppress the rebellion with the officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp. In the palace, the third prince, the queen, the palace maids and some eunuchs and guards were struggling to hold on.

Finally, the palace gate opened, and the Duke of Chu, covered in blood, appeared before the Third Prince's queen. The Third Prince knew that he had won this time.

The Duke of Chu knelt on the ground. "The rebels have all surrendered, and the houses of all the criminals have been surrounded. I respectfully request Your Majesty's judgment. Our country cannot be without a ruler for a single day. The late emperor's noble character is witnessed by all our ministers. I pray that Your Majesty ascend the throne as soon as possible to bring peace to the world."

The Third Prince's line won the final victory, and the Duke of Chu's mansion was followed by the four characters "和国同休" (together with the state). This avoided the fate of a gentleman's grace being cut off after five generations. The Duke of Chu's mansion became a hereditary dukedom.

Duke Xu Mingqi of Chu was also a man of many thoughts and ideas. He resigned from his position in the Imperial Camp. Even the most affectionate of hearts could not withstand the daily test. A new emperor changes his ministers, and the new emperor must be assured. The Xu family will have to redouble their efforts in the future on the path to the imperial examinations.

The new emperor, while showing favors to the people, was also cleaning up the forces left behind by Da Huangyu and the Fifth Prince. Xu Mingqi was given a lucrative job and led the emperor's imperial guards to raid the homes of these criminal officials.

When a new emperor ascends the throne, he needs money. Confiscating his property can alleviate the embarrassing situation of the new emperor's empty purse.

Xu Mingqi: "Are you ready for Anguo Marquis Mansion?"
