lady

Chapter 892
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law fought each other for two or three months, but Zhao was helpless and became discouraged.

She also thought about telling Xiuqin to be a child to Wang Qiao.However, not only did Wang Qiao refuse, Xiuqin kept silent, even the neighbors said that it is not good for a daughter-in-law to add a concubine to her son just after entering the house.

Moreover, her daughter-in-law is not only powerful in her natal family, but also the people in the palace are in charge. Doing this kind of thing will bring disaster.

So, Mrs. Zhao could only pinch her nose and live a life of self-pity and self-pity, as if she had no daughter-in-law.

Zhou Biyao took Qianyue into Zhao's room, first saluted her mother-in-law, and then stood aside, waiting quietly for Zhao's questioning.

Mrs. Zhao didn't have a chance to rub Zhou Biyao, but her mother-in-law still put on airs very well.

Probably because she didn't realize what happened, so she still sat on the kang condescendingly, looked at Zhou Biyao who was standing on the ground, and asked with a sullen face: "You young couple don't treat me as a mother, do you? Look at me. The neighbors in the neighborhood are starting to look at me, but I don't know anything, what do you think of me?"

Zhou Biyao lowered her head and remained silent.It was Wang Qiao's intention to hide the iron workshop from Mrs. Zhao, and it had nothing to do with her.Wang Qiao thought about telling his mother later that she would be able to relax for a few days.

Since the husband has such filial piety, and Mrs. Zhao didn't ask her about it, she naturally wouldn't say much.

Seeing Zhou Biyao standing there pretending to be dead, Mrs. Zhao couldn't help being annoyed.

She slapped the kang with her palms hard, and said angrily: "You really think my wife is in the way, and you want to piss me off? You! Tell me, what's going on? Why doesn't Aqiao go to work? ?”

Zhou Biyao followed Qianyue.Qianyue is the maid of Zhou's family. Although Zhou Biyao brought her here, Qianyue's contract of prostitution actually stayed in Zhou's mansion.

She has Mrs. Liang of the Zhou Mansion as the master, and she is not afraid of Mrs. Zhao. She frowned when she heard Mrs. Zhao clap the brocade face on the kang, it was her lady's dowry satin, Huzhou silk.

She tugged on Zhou Biyao's skirt and said, "Third Mistress, since the eldest wife asked, you should tell the truth, and don't make the eldest wife angry."

Qianyue naturally lowered her voice, but only a little lower, she didn't want to avoid Zhao Shi, it was originally for Zhao Shi to hear.My son-in-law loves my mother dearly, but her young lady doesn't have much affection with Mrs. Zhao.Moreover, sooner or later, Mrs. Zhao will know about this kind of thing, why should her own lady be blamed for this kind of thing that everyone knows?

Mrs. Zhao sat on the kang, pointed at Zhou Biyao, and said angrily: "Look, look, I'm sure I'm right, you've kept one or two of you from me. Did you push Aqiao to let Aqiao Are you divorced from my mother?"

Qianyue became unhappy, and Xiaocui and Xiuqin beside Zhao's complexion also changed.

The third master didn't go to work in the past few days, and with the strange eyes of the neighbors, it was obvious that something happened in the workshop.Regardless of whether the third master or the third grandmother did not tell the eldest wife about this, it was for the sake of the wife and did not want the wife to worry.

But the wife who heads the house thinks about things, and doesn't follow ordinary people's thinking at all.Judging from the meaning of what she said, it seemed that the third grandma had a bad intention.

Qianyue said to Zhou Biyao again: "Third grandma, look, your kindness has misunderstood your wife. You should tell your wife the truth."

With a cold face, Mrs. Zhao reprimanded: "Daughter-in-law Aqiao, your maid has already said that, yet you still want to trick me?"

Zhou Biyao sneered inwardly, did Mrs. Zhao really think there was something good going on, and she couldn't hide it from her?This is not what she meant to say, after hearing it, Mrs. Zhao couldn't eat or sleep well, the third brother couldn't blame her.

"Since mother is worried about this matter, then daughter-in-law should tell mother the truth." Zhou Biyao said, "The day before yesterday, Dali Temple seized several workshops in the capital because of a major case in the capital. The iron workshop is one of them. The principals of these workshops have been detained by Dali Temple and put into prison..."

Zhou Biyao told Mrs. Zhao the matter, not in detail, but she also explained all the details announced by the Yamen to Mrs. Zhao.

After listening to Zhou Biyao's narration, Zhao's body, which was originally upright, became even higher, her entire upper body leaned forward, and her complexion was also pale.

After Zhou Biyao finished speaking, Zhao's lips twitched for a long time before he asked a word: "Isn't Aqiao working for His Highness Fu Wang? Since this workshop belongs to Fu Wang, who has the courage to touch Fu Wang's property? Anyone who dares to arrest King Fu?"

Zhou Biyao lowered her eyes. Naturally, she would not tell Zhao Shifu what was going on, but the obvious things did not prevent her from speaking out.

"His Royal Highness Fu has declared illness a few days ago. It is said that the emperor's heart is concerned with His Highness Fu's body, and he has ordered Fu Wang to recuperate in peace at the palace, and he no longer has to go to the court to handle political affairs."

Even though Mrs. Zhao is a commoner woman, she can be regarded as shrewd in her daily affairs. Zhou Biyao's words immediately made her stunned.Her eyes are staring at the front without focus. I don't know where?Thinking over what Zhou Biyao said over and over in his heart.

His Royal Highness Fu Wang said he was ill, and the emperor ordered Fu Wang to return to his residence to recover from his illness. That is to say, no matter active or passive, Fu Wang no longer worked in the court.

Immediately afterwards, the workshop under the name of King Fu was seized by Dali Temple, and the owner of the workshop, who was said to be the effective steward of King Fu's mansion, was taken into prison.

After staying in the capital for more than a year, Mrs. Zhao also knew that the cases that could be heard in Dali Temple were more serious than those in the Beijing Yamen.

That is to say, because of something, Fu Wang not only wanted to leave the court, but even harmed the people who were attached to Fu Wang's mansion.

Zhao shi thought to this point, and subconsciously leaned forward again, looking like she wanted to catch Zhou Biyao.

It's just that Zhou Biyao was a little far away from her, so she put down her hands in vain. She could only look at Zhou Biyao and asked, "What about Aqiao? What about Aqiao? Can he keep his job?"

Still have an errand?Her mother-in-law prides herself on being shrewd, so what's the matter with her at this time?At this time, shouldn't we first consider whether the third brother will be involved in the case and be convicted?

But Wang Qiao was filial to his mother, and Zhou Biyao couldn't scare her too much, so he could only say matter-of-factly: "It depends on the outcome of the court's trial. If the Iron Industry Workshop did not do illegal activities, the workshop can probably continue to operate, maybe The third brother can still work in the workshop. However, the momentum of the iron workshop at that time must be incomparable to before."

Zhou Biyao looked up at Zhao Shi, and sure enough, Zhao Shi also heard the meaning of her words.The reputation of the iron workshop is not good, Wang Qiao's status and wages will naturally decline accordingly, and there will be nothing that the Zhao family is proud of.

She continued: "If the results of the yamen's investigation show that something illegal happened in the iron workshop, I'm afraid it will be troublesome."

"Trouble? What's the trouble?" Zhao was startled and kept asking.

Only then did she think of her son's situation, and she couldn't help being frightened, "Aqiao is in charge of the workshop, will it be, will it be..." She really didn't dare to continue.
