Chapter 10 Action
Staying here is just to make them have scruples and obediently punish Xiao Chen and Chu Yunfeng, do you really think she is rare?
Of course, Mrs. Chen didn't know about her plans, and she had other considerations.
Mrs. Chen felt that Chu Nian's health had just improved, and it was indeed not suitable for tossing back and forth, so she was no longer reluctant.
And although after this incident, the Marquis of Langzhen Ninghou Mansion didn't dare to do anything to Chu Nian anymore, but just in case, Mrs. Chen left everyone she brought with Chu Nian before returning to the Chen family.
Chu Nian asked Mei Xiang and Mother Zhu to send her off instead of him, but he simply closed his eyes and slept, completely ignoring the old lady.
The old lady's liver hurts, but she can't do anything with her.
In her opinion, all of this was provoked by Chu Nian, who, like her mother, was a broom star who always brought disaster to the Hou Mansion.
In the end, the old lady scolded and left the herb house.
Chu Nian was lying on the bed, not angry at all, this is just the beginning, what the family owes to the original owner and the original owner's mother will have to be paid off sooner or later.
She closed her eyes and really went to sleep.
The final disposition of this matter was that Xiao Chen and Chu Yunfeng were imprisoned in the ancestral hall for two months together, and at the same time, they were punished for copying the family motto, and no one was allowed to visit them.
There is a special place in the ancestral hall to hold the descendants of the unscrupulous, it is cold and damp, only slightly better than the prison, and the food is also poor, the mother and son can't stand it on the first day, and they cry and scream, and keep begging for mercy.
But the old lady was determined to teach them a lesson this time, and he was not moved at all, and even a pair of twin daughters of Xiao Chen's family, Chu Yuanniang and Chu Erniang, went to intercede, but to no avail.
Chu Yuanniang and Chu Erniang broke into the herb house crying, and loudly insulted Chu Nian as a slut and harmed their mother and younger brother.
As soon as he got up, he was thrown out by the people left behind by Mrs. Chen.
The two of them were angry, and went to the old lady to complain about their grievances, but the old lady didn't see them at all, and now it's too late to stabilize the Chen family, how can they fight against the Chen family because of their two little girls?
Although Lao Taijun is mean, she can successfully marry into the Hou Mansion of Zhenning and become the ruler of the Hou Mansion, which is not a vegetarian, at least the basic overall situation is still there, she is clearly aware that the Chen family will not give up on this matter.
If the Hou Mansion of Zhenning was at odds with the Chen family before, it was just a private contradiction between the sons and daughters, and for the sake of the reputation of the two families, no one would do anything on the surface.
But this time, Chu Yunfeng repeatedly asked the Chen family to die in front of everyone, treating the Chen family like a dog, and saying that this was all taught to him by Xiao Chen, which was a big taboo.
The Chen family would not think that this was a child's nonsense, nor would they just think that Xiao Chen taught him, and they would definitely think that the entire Zhenning Hou Mansion thought so.
Of course, this didn't wronged them, but no matter what you think in your heart, you can't tear your face on the surface.
Insulting a family with a head and a face in an open and honest manner, any family will never be easily exposed, let alone the kind of Chen family?
This is not just a battle of will, but involves the face of the big family, if they compromise this time, they will inevitably be looked down upon by everyone.
The old lady wanted to be more and more frightened, and always felt that the Chen family was going to make a big move, so as soon as the incident happened, he wrote a letter to inform Chuhe Prefecture, which was far away in Bingzhou.
However, the Chen family's actions were too fast, and before Chuhe Prefecture received the letter, he first received an order to demote Cangzhou.
The Chen family did not act in private, but directly in the court, impeaching Chuhe Prefecture and Zhenning Marquis Mansion openly.
This year is nearly forty, but he has only been on the throne for seven years, and his power has fallen, and he is controlled by the queen mother's mother, Wang Jia, and the queen mother's brother Wang Zixuan is the first prime minister since the founding of the country.
However, the Wang family can't say anything in the court, a noble family like the Chen family, the neutral faction is also a big force, and the Wang family is absolutely unwilling to offend.
And as we all know, Jinshang and the Queen Mother have always been dissatisfied with some princes of the opposite sex, and have tried to cut their titles many times, but for various reasons, they can't move for the time being.
Now that this stall, Chu Hezhou has actually bumped into it by itself, how can it not be exciting?
So as soon as Master Chen mentioned this matter in the court, he was approved by everyone, and some people even added fuel to the fire, so that Chuhe Prefecture, which was originally relegated to Cangzhou, was further degraded to the southwest where poisonous insects were full of swamps, and returned to Beijing to report on his work a month later, and then left the capital, and he was not allowed to return to Beijing without an edict.
In fact, the power of the Marquis of Zhenning Mansion is not small, if it is usual, it will not be suppressed so badly, but it is no wonder that this matter is in line with the wishes of many people, the Chen family just mentioned it, and countless people went to implement it.
The Queen Mother and Jinshang even wanted to directly get rid of the Marquis of Zhenning Mansion and demote him to an earl, but unfortunately this title was given to the founding hero by Emperor Taizu, and all non-major crimes were hereditary, so they could only regret to stop.
In the end, the Queen Mother took advantage of this reason, in the name of purging the investigation, to attack other princes openly and honestly, and ruthlessly peeled off a layer of skin from them.
For a time, almost all the princely families gritted their teeth with hatred for the Zhenning Marquis Mansion.
