Chapter 624: Coming to the door
Mu Qingfeng sat in the flower hall of the Changning Hou Mansion, his face was a little pale.
His Majesty's summoning of the Marquis of Changning at this time is obviously not a good thing.
There was some uneasiness in his heart.
Relying on the crown prince, the Mu family finally got to where it is today, but it can't be ruined.
He pondered in his heart how to deal with this matter in order to reduce his losses.
When Changning Hou came back, his face was very ugly.
Mu Qingfeng saw his figure walking into the flower hall and stood up suddenly, "How is it? What did Your Majesty say?"
Changning Hou glanced at him, sat down with a calm face, and didn't have any thoughts of greeting him.
Mu Qingfeng looked at him eagerly, "Master Hou said something." ”
Changning Hou pursed his lips before he said: "Your Majesty asked a few rumors about the rumors in the market, let me deal with it as soon as possible, and also said that not cultivating the internal affairs is a big taboo in a man's career." ”
When he said this, Chang Ninghou's lips trembled a little.
Emperor Jiayou's words almost determined that this matter was done by the Marquis of Changning.
If the Changning Houfu doesn't make any moves next, then it is estimated that Emperor Jiayou will have to intervene.
And the consequences of his action are definitely something that Changning Houfu can't afford.
Changning Hou now deeply regrets that he shouldn't have easily stepped into this whirlpool in order to repair his relationship with the Mu family.
But now that a foot has come in, it will be difficult to get out again, anyway, it has already ended up in a commotion, so it can't be that the Mu family still falls, right?
The Changning Houfu has begun to decline over the years, and the Changning Hou himself is just hanging up an idle position, and if this continues, they will soon fade out of the core of the DPRK.
Thinking of this, Changninghou's expression eased a little, and he took the initiative to discuss with Mu Qingfeng, "Tomorrow, I will let Neiko go to the princess's mansion to apologize, and tie the culprit directly to the princess's mansion to ask for guilt, what does my brother-in-law think?"
His proposal can be said to have the meaning of being a little low in front of Mu Qingfeng.
If the Changning Hou Mansion comes forward, it is naturally the Changning Hou Mansion that bears the anger of the Princess Mansion, and the reputation of the Changning Hou Mansion will also be discredited.
The risk borne by the Mu family is relatively small, although it is clear that this matter was proposed by Mrs. Wang.
Mu Qingfeng's expression softened a little, but he didn't respond in a sword, but pondered and said, "Well, it's good to explore the tone of the princess's mansion first, and I'll send someone to send you the two bottles of medicine when I go back." ”
After sending Mu Qingfeng away, Changninghou returned to the inner courtyard and told Mrs. Changninghou what he had discussed with Mu Qingfeng.
As soon as she heard that her henchman Zheng's mother was going to be sent out, Mrs. Changning Hou immediately quit.
"This is obviously Jia Jing's idea, why do you want our family to carry the black pot now? And Mother Zheng has been serving by my side for more than 20 years, because of this matter, sending Mother Zheng to the Princess's Mansion to deal with it, doesn't it chill the hearts of the servants in the house?"
"Besides, Mother Zheng knows a lot of things in our house, and if you dispose of Mother Zheng, it will be equivalent to taking one of my arms. ”
Mrs. Changning Hou said that she did not agree with anything.
Changning Hou was also a little impatient, "It's not really disposed of, it's just a show, Mother Zheng is our house slave after all, let's kidnap and go to the princess's mansion, can Mu Jin really dare to deal with it?"
"Let's make enough gestures, and let Your Majesty see our sincerity. ”
"When I turned around and sent Zheng's mother to Zhuangzi, I said to the outside world that she had been beaten to death with a stick, which could be regarded as an explanation to the princess's mansion. ”
Mrs. Changninghou's expression was a little relaxed, "But Dingnanhou and Mu Jin are not fools, can we still be fooled?"
Changning Hou snorted coldly, "The dignified princess's mansion and Dingnanhou, if they really dispose of our family's descendants, it will make people laugh." ”
"When the time comes, everything will be pushed to Mother Zheng's head, and you just go back and tell her what to say. ”
"So far, it can only be like this, Your Majesty has begun to pay attention to this matter, you can't really ruin the future of our Changning Marquis Mansion because of this matter, right?"
"I don't care, but I have to think about the future of my children, right?"
At the mention of the children's future, Mrs. Changning Hou hesitated, thought silently for a moment, nodded in response, and called Zheng's mother over.
Zheng's mother rarely went to the upper room to serve since yesterday, and her face was a little pale when she came in, and after listening to Mrs. Changninghou's words, her body was completely paralyzed on the ground.
"Madam, please, please save the slave and maid. She knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to Mrs. Changninghou.
Mrs. Changninghou's lips twitched, and after a moment, she sighed, "I don't want to do this either, it's the only way to do it, don't worry, the princess's mansion will not really deal with you, what they want is nothing more than our family's attitude." ”
Is this really the case? Zheng's mother was full of suspicion, but she didn't dare to declare this suspicion.
She is the slave maid of the Marquis of Changning, to put it bluntly, her life and death are all in the mind of her master.
Mrs. Changning Hou promised her, "I have agreed with Master Hou, don't worry, when I come back, I will send you to Zhuangzi to care for the elderly, and the daughters and sons in your family are also older, and I will arrange serious errands for them to do when I go back." ”
This is the promise of a future for her children.
The hope in Zheng's mother's eyes gradually shattered, her expression gradually became flat, she knelt down and kowtowed, and tears fell to the ground.
Early the next morning, Mrs. Changning Hou tied up Zheng's mother and went to the princess's mansion.
got off the carriage at the gate of the princess's mansion, and when she saw Zheng's mother tied up behind her, many people immediately surrounded her.
The news that Mrs. Changning Hou had kidnapped someone and went to the princess's mansion to apologize immediately spread in Jinling City.
Princess Minghui naturally would not meet Mrs. Changning Hou in person.
Mu Jin had already informed her about this matter, and when she saw Song Yanzhao, Mu Jin and the others were confident, so they naturally would not get involved.
Mu Jin met Mrs. Changning Hou in the flower hall.
"I don't know why Mrs. Changning Hou came to the Princess's Mansion today?" Mu Jin said with a smile.
She had the decree of Mrs. Dingnanhou on her body, and she was on an equal footing with Mrs. Changninghou, so she did not salute Mrs. Changninghou.
In fact, Song Yanzhao's Dingnan Hou is much more noble than Changning Hou, and the holy grace is also much more powerful, if you really want to talk about it, even if you enter the palace to meet her, Mrs. Changning Hou has to be ranked behind Mu Jin.
Seeing that the girl in front of her, who was only sixteen years old, already had the same destiny as herself, Mrs. Changning Hou had mixed feelings in her heart.
"I only heard the rumors outside yesterday, and after severely interrogating the subordinates in the family, I realized that there was really someone who had the audacity to pick up the slaves and maids of your mansion and steal your dowry from Mrs. Song, I really can't help it, so I brought her to the door today to apologize!"
Mrs. Changning Hou said with a reluctant smile, and at the same time motioned for her subordinates to escort Zheng's mother in.
"It was this bold slave who picked up the slave and maid of your mansion, so there was today's misunderstanding, today I sent this slave to the princess's mansion, how to send it, it all depends on your words, Mrs. Song. ”
