After the divorce, the queen mother was pampered by powerful ministers

Chapter 103 Fishing in troubled waters ([-])

Under the warm spring sun, the glazed tiles shine brightly, the roofs are row upon row, and the yellowed lanterns under the upturned eaves sway slightly.In the bustling imperial capital, all kinds of people walk in the busy city, and the crowds are complicated.

Steaming smoke comes out of the pot lid. In a simple roadside stall, three or two people are eating wontons and chatting about the hottest gossip.

"Recently, have you listened to the storytelling at Baijia Teahouse?" A middle-aged man swallowed two wontons in one gulp, and raised his voice a little proudly. After all, it costs money to go there to listen to books.

Ordinary people, of course, would not spend their spare money to listen to books. Those who could go in and listen to books were those with some spare money and did not have to run around for a living.

"Have you gone to listen?" A young man next to him who looked slightly shabby approached and asked curiously.

"That's right." The big man deliberately kept his mouth shut and continued to swallow two wontons.

The young man simply brought over the hot bowl, sat at the same table as the big man, and asked, "Tell me, what secrets did you tell today?"

"By the way, did you tell me who the Lord appointed as the chief general to lead the army at the end?"

"The result hasn't come out yet, but during the match, the experienced General Meng was captured alive twice by Chu Muchen."

"Captured alive by Mr. Chu? Didn't you claim that Mr. Chu was a child with a yellow mouth?" The young man smiled, "He deserves it."

He whispered to himself: "Sure enough, my younger sister didn't miss her mark. That Young Master Chu is really a dragon and a phoenix among men."

"That's right, Mr. Chu is outstanding in this competition. Everyone guesses that he is the main general of this expedition." The big man's rough voice.

"General Xuanwei fought against the Dongwu clan before, and the Dongwu thieves often suffered in front of the general Xuanwei. The eldest son of Chu is better than Lan, and he will definitely beat the shit out of the Dongwu clan's thieves."

The young man agreed with a smile, just wanting to hear more interesting stories.

"What interesting things did the storyteller say today?"

"That's a shocking secret, it's about the love affair between the prince of the Eastern Wu Clan and a noble family in the imperial capital."

"How to say?"

"The matter can be traced back to 20 years ago, when the Dongwu tribe invaded the border. At that time, a general was sent out to defend against the enemy, and the Dongwu tribe retreated steadily. At that time, the prince of the Dongwu tribe was outraged and sent someone to kidnap the general's wife. "

"What do you think will happen to a girl who has no strength to restrain a chicken and falls into the barracks of those thieves?"

"Did the general not go to save him?" the young man asked worriedly.

"I went, but it was still too late. Although the battle was won and the Dongwu clan fled, they also took the general's wife with them. When the general found her, the general's wife had a big belly."

"This……"

"In desperation, I had to wait for the general's wife to give birth to the child. At that time, the general's wife wanted to strangle the newborn baby, but the girl looked so cute and smiled at her, so she couldn't do it."

"Although the experience of the general's wife is worthy of sympathy, the child is innocent." The young man sighed.

The people who were eating wontons at the nearby tables also listened with pricked ears, for fear of missing the exciting part.

"Yeah, that's why the general didn't have anything to do with it. It happened that on the way back, he saved a businessman from a bandit knife. His surname was Song, and he gave the child to the Song family to raise."

"How heartbroken the general must be. He killed countless enemies on the battlefield, but he couldn't even protect his own wife." The young man was melancholy.

"Do you think the story ends here?" The big man was a little proud, patronizing gossip, and even forgot to eat wontons.

"Is there a story?" asked the woman at the table.

"The story behind it is wonderful."

"How to say?"

"The girl grew up in Song's family, and later by chance, she married into a well-known noble family in the imperial capital."

"What's so exciting about this? It's so ordinary!" The young man was a little disappointed.

"But this young master of the noble family later became a general who attacked the Dongwu clan. As a result, the girl betrayed her husband and colluded with the Dongwu clan, causing her husband to be defeated miserably."

"This is a villain! The general should have known about this evil!" The woman stood up filled with righteous indignation.

"That is, the blood of those beasts is kept in the body." The young man was also angry.

"Then the girl fled back to the Dongwu clan and became a princess."

"Princess? So the person who defiled the general's wife was the son?"

"Exactly."

"Then why didn't the general's wife say it? Otherwise, on the day of the birth, the scourge would definitely be killed!"

The big man's piercing eyes narrowed slightly, "This whole thing is actually very scary to think about."

"How to say?" The young man suppressed his anger, wanting to hear the story behind.

"Do you think, how could the daughter of a merchant have the opportunity to marry into the noble family of the imperial capital? There is a big problem here."

"You mean, all of this is the trick of Dongwu dog thief? Even the businessman is with Dongwu dog thief?"

The young man seemed to think of something, "Wait, which general are you talking about? Which noble family? He married a merchant's daughter, and the merchant's daughter is still named Song..."

"The storyteller didn't say anything."

The woman at the next table simply sat over, looking thoughtful, "If you say that, you can match up with someone."

"Who?" The big man asked curiously.

The woman moved her face closer and whispered: "A few years ago, there was a merchant's daughter who married into the Hou's Mansion. At that time, the dowry was more than a dozen boxes, which caused a sensation in the whole city. It seems that her surname is also Song."

"I remembered, the surname is Song. When we first met in a foreign country, the family made a fuss for a while before agreeing."

"When you said that, I also remembered. A few days ago, the storyteller mentioned that the noble family married the merchant's daughter in order to get her a generous dowry, so as to continue to maintain the dignity of the Hou Mansion in the imperial capital."

"Yes, isn't it the Zhouhou Mansion that is gradually declining!"

"Oh!" The young man secretly thought that something was wrong, "Didn't Lord Zhou Xiaohou also participate in the ring competition this time, and entered the finals? Maybe there is hope that he will be selected to lead the army to attack the Dongwu dog thieves!"

"Ah, this is terrible. If the girl surnamed Song is really a spy of Dongwu, wouldn't this battle lead the soldiers to die?" The woman worried. Her son joined the army and happened to attack Dongwu. family.

Half an hour later, rumors that the young wife of Zhou Hou's mansion suspected that she was Princess Dongwu spread all over the streets and alleys, and the people were worried. Some impulsive young men quietly followed Song Wan'er's carriage, waiting for an opportunity to eliminate harm for the people.

In front of the Zhouhou Mansion, Song Wan'er got off the carriage and returned to the mansion.

Not long after, Lord Zhou came back and began to question the teacher.If it wasn't for her generous dowry, how could a merchant's daughter marry into the Hou's mansion as his wife.He had always looked down on Song Wan'er, but now that rumors were raging outside, he couldn't get angry.

Although the Zhouhou Mansion has fallen, it has never been slandered by anyone, not to mention, this time it is still related to the Dongwu Clan.Even if the story is false, it must have an impact on Zhuan'er's seizure of military power.

　There is one more.
