Chapter 373 The Ancient Mother-In-Law Who Was Cannon Fodder (9)

At this time, only Qingyou and Huo Tong were left in the room.

Huo Tong took out a few pieces of paper from his sleeve and handed them over, "Sister-in-law, my husband-in-law found this out, take a look."

"Okay!" Qingyou took it and opened it to have a look.

I was not surprised by the above content, but there was a kind of surprise, anger and disappointment on my face.

A moment after reading it, she said with an ugly face: "This rebellious son has done so many stupid things."

"He was so fascinated by that woman that he couldn't tell the difference between south, east and north."

Huo Tong was also quite uncomfortable, "Yeah, ever since he met that woman, he's been taken for a ride."

But Qingyou said: "A slap can't make a sound, if he himself is fine, no one can bring him down."

"I taught him etiquette, righteousness, integrity and shame since I was a child, and I have strict requirements on his studies. He has been in the Imperial College for a long time. But he still did such a thing, and read all the books to the stomach of a dog."

"Did his grandfather and father suffer less temptations? But they didn't take the wrong path."

Huo Tong couldn't say anything to refute, and the more he thought about it, the more reasonable he felt.

That's right, among the several generations of successors of the Duke's Mansion, none of them are as perverted as his nephew.

"The Qiao family means that they want to withdraw the engagement."

She asked again: "Sister-in-law, what should I do now?"

Qingyou thought for a while, "Let's make a fuss about this, and spread all the information found on the paper."

"The ones who are wrong are Ji Wen and Shi Lingqiao. Since they did such a thing, they should bear the consequences."

Huo Tong struggled for a while, "But if all these news are released, will it harm the reputation of the Duke's Mansion?"

Qingyou understood Huo Tong's worry, she sighed, "It's better than all the meat rotten in the pot."

"Besides, Ji Wen relied on our pampering him, and felt that even if we knew about it, we wouldn't spread these things out, so he was so confident."

"If you want him to get better, I think you have to teach him a lesson."

"Otherwise, with his current disposition, if he inherits the position of Duke in the future and leads troops to the battlefield, he may harm others and himself."

"To make matters worse, the Qiao family took the initiative to withdraw the marriage, and Ji Wen lost face because of that woman in the capital. If she gets angry and separates from that woman, or suddenly wakes up, it will be a good thing for him and the Duke's family."

From the perspective of a mother, she naturally hopes that her son will get better.

So Qingyou said it with a sad look on her face, and she was still the mother who cared about her son wholeheartedly.

Huo Tong was right when he thought about it. It would be a good thing if his nephew could wake up and stay away from that woman because of this incident.

"Okay, then I will listen to my sister-in-law."

She remembered her husband's confession, so she said again: "Sister-in-law, my husband-in-law also found out that Shi Lingqiao and the fourth prince often have contacts in private, the relationship is probably not simple."

"He suspects that Shi Lingqiao may have been sent by the Fourth Prince on purpose to seduce Ji Wen, and then drag the Duke's Mansion onto his ship to seize the heir apparent."

Qingyou showed a proper look of surprise, "She actually has a relationship with the fourth child, this watery woman."

At this moment, a woman's scream suddenly sounded at the door, followed by someone covering her mouth.

Qingyou got up and went to open the door, only to see that maid was restrained by two women covering her mouth.

The servant girl cast a look of aggrieved help at Qingyou.

Qingyou ignored her, but looked at Nanny Qi behind the three of them, "What's going on?"

Nanny Qi stepped forward and replied: "Ma'am, I just found out that this girl pretended to be cleaning, but went outside to listen to your conversation."

The servant girl shook her head frantically, and then bit the woman who was covering her mouth.

The woman's hand hurt, and she instinctively let go of it.

The servant girl immediately shouted for grievances, "Ma'am, this servant girl was just cleaning nearby, and did not eavesdrop, it was Nanny Qi who misunderstood."

Qingyou looked at her and said coldly: "Why don't I remember, when did I demote you from a first-class maid to a third-class sprinkler maid?"

The first-class maidservants are all personal servants, so they don't have to do rough work at all.

As soon as Qingyou finished talking about this flaw, the servant girl's expression changed.

Still wanted to plead for mercy, but Qingyou didn't bother to waste time with her, and ordered Madam Qi, "Take her down for interrogation, who the hell sent her as a spy."

Nanny Qi said respectfully: "Yes!"

Then let the two women cover the maid's mouth again and drag her away.

Qingyou commanded into the air, "Send a master interrogator to pry her mouth open."

At this moment, a male voice sounded, "Yes!"

Huo Tong was not surprised by this, she had always known that there was a powerful secret guard in the Duke's Mansion.

It must be that her brother handed over the hidden guard to her sister-in-law before going out to fight.

She didn't think there was a problem with this. Back then, her younger brother and nephew were still young, and the Duke's Mansion controlled the military power. They were just a big piece of fat, and they needed means of self-protection no matter what.

And this is not a kind of loyalty from the elder brother to the emperor, after all, the sister-in-law is the first princess.

If something happens to them on the battlefield, I also hope that the emperor can protect the Duke's mansion.

After dealing with the maid's eavesdropping, Qingyou took Huo Tong back into the house.

"I know what you reminded me. I will go to the palace tomorrow and tell Brother Huang about it."

The fourth prince was too flamboyant before, so he was stared at by other princes and pulled his mother down.

The current emperor is in his forties, and he is in his prime. How could he like to see his sons thinking about his throne.

Qingyou had already thought about Shi Lingqiao hooking up with the fourth prince, she had to enter the palace and tell the emperor.

This will not only allow the emperor to guard against the fourth prince, but also reduce the emphasis on the barbecued pork buns.

Of course, he would love her even more for his younger sister who ran to him to talk about everything.

She is the emperor's own sister, so of course she wants to be a staunch royalist.

Huo Tong nodded, "No matter what my sister-in-law does, I will support you."

It is better to tell the emperor than to conceal it, otherwise if the nephew continues to be used by the fourth prince, the entire Duke's mansion will be caught in the struggle for succession.

This is what Huo Tong doesn't want to see.

Huo Tong thought for a while and asked: "Then shall we go directly to the Shi's house to make trouble? Or come to the Duke's mansion to divorce the marriage?"

Qingyou gave her a suggestion, "You first release the news you have found little by little, and find someone to spread it in the capital. It will take about half a month or so."

Shi Lingqiao and the Fourth Prince had to be given time to be that demon bandit.

"Let Mrs. Qiao's people keep an eye on him, and when the two of you have a private meeting outside, you will personally lead someone to arrest them in public."

"When the time comes when the witnesses and material evidence are all ready, just say that someone declares that they dare not entrust their daughter to someone like him, and the Qiao family will withdraw the engagement."

"Then I will stand up and agree and explain that it is Ji Wen's fault."

"And I will not agree to that woman marrying into the Duke's mansion."

But the barbecued pork buns will definitely make a big fuss, and even go on hunger strike in the old way of forcing the original body in that life.

The original body is not allowed to be passed on, but she has no such scruples.

When the time comes, she will go on a hunger strike because of her son. As a mother who loves her son, she can only be forced to compromise and let him marry Shi Lingqiao.

At that time, no matter whether it is in the upper class circle or in the common people, as long as they hear about this incident, they will definitely not like the barbecued pork buns and Shi Lingqiao.

After all, in ancient times, the concept of superiority and inferiority was too deep. In order to marry a woman, barbecued pork buns contradicted and threatened the mother-in-law.

Shi Ling cleverly hooked up the barbecued pork buns to such an extent, such a woman belongs to the type of daughter-in-law that the wives of every family dislike the most, and they will be rejected if they attend banquets in the future.

In this life, Shi Lingqiao never wanted to be like before, stepping on her original body to gain a firm foothold in the circle of ladies in the capital.

Huo Tong agreed, "Yes, even if Ji Wen and Yue'er divorced, they can't marry that kind of troublemaker."
