Be good, call me uncle

Chapter 1482
The maternal grandfather of Princess Xiangning was the Minister of the Ministry of War of the current dynasty. The old Minister had experienced three emperors and could be regarded as a veteran of the current dynasty and a powerful figure in the country.

Even if he is the emperor, he must give him three respects, so naturally the eldest princess must also respect him.

Xiangning and her daughter saw that Old Fu Wang could not count on being a peacemaker, so they set their sights on the Minister of War.

However, before they could take action, the wife of the Minister of War was invited by Lu Mingyu to the uncle's house as a guest.

The madam is already in her fifties. If the old minister had not yet taken office, she would be an old lady respected by the descendants of the family.

Lu Mingyu rarely interacted with his wife, so he suddenly summoned Madam Shangshu, which made the old lady feel uneasy.

But she still respectfully said: "I pay my respects to the great uncle and concubine."

Lu Mingyu said with a smile on her face: "Mrs. Gao, please get up."

After Mrs. Gao thanked her, she was helped by Lu Yi to sit down on the chair.

She was restless: "I wonder what the great uncle and concubine is calling my wife to do?"

Lu Mingyu went straight to the point: "It's not a big deal, but if this matter is not resolved and allowed to ferment, I'm afraid it won't end well. That's why I asked Mrs. Gao to take this trip."

This made Madam Gao even more nervous: "Please give me a clear explanation, please."

Lu Mingyu sighed and asked, "I wonder how much Madam Gao knows about Princess Xiangning?"

Mrs. Gao lowered her eyelashes to cover up the panic and uneasiness in her heart: "Xiangning is my grandson's daughter. She often walks around in front of my wife. I wonder what the empress wants to ask about?"

Lu Mingyu looked calmly at Mrs. Gao.

Seeing that Mrs. Gao was cautious in her words, she did not act aggressively towards the old lady who was over fifty years old, and slowly explained the reason why she was summoned into the mansion today.

"Princess Xiangning bribed the wet nurse with the intention of harming Princess Zhenli, the wife of Duke Yue. This matter..."

Lu Mingyu paused deliberately and showed a faint smile: "I just learned about this matter."

"It may not take long before my Royal Highness and brother who are on duty in the palace will know about it, so before the matter gets out of hand, I will talk to my wife first."

Mrs. Gao pinched the handkerchief nervously: "My dearest lady, I don't understand."

Lu Mingyu sighed softly: "Just today, I went to Prince Fu's Mansion to find Princess Xiangning. She made a little unpleasant noise and even alerted Grandpa Prince Fu."

"Madam should know that such a big thing happened in Prince Fu's Mansion, and Grandpa Prince Fu is not in good health, so naturally there is no way for this matter to have a good ending."

"So I estimate that this matter will have to be brought to Shangshu Mansion. Lord Shangshu has been dedicated and diligent throughout his life, which is obvious to everyone."

"On a small scale, this is just a dispute between Xiangning and Zhenli. On a larger scale, it's a matter between the Duke of Yue's Palace, Taishu's Palace, the Grand Princess's Palace and Princess Xiangning."

At this point, Lu Mingyu stopped talking.

Her attitude is very clear. If this matter is settled, it will only be a matter between two princesses. But if the matter becomes serious, it will be a matter between several palaces and one princess.

They will not bully others and go against everyone related to Princess Xiangning, but Princess Xiangning will not be able to escape the pursuit of several houses.

The Minister of War has worked hard all his life, but he cannot ruin his reputation for this kind of thing.

Seeing Mrs. Wang's expression change, Lu Mingyu asked softly: "Madam, what do you think?"

This put Mrs. Wang in a difficult situation. What was going on? Her eyes darkened and she didn't know anything.If it was really Xiangning's fault, if she protected him, she would involve the Shangshu Mansion in this matter. After all, they were ministers, so how could they have the ability to fight against the crown prince and the powerful ministers.

But if Zhenli was wrong, she had to defend her granddaughter no matter what. No matter who the other party was, she could not let her beloved granddaughter be wronged.

In the end, she had no choice but to answer in a decent manner: "Your Majesty, if Na Xiangning is wrong, if he violates the national law, he will be dealt with according to the national law. If he violates the family rules, I will ask Prince Fu to discipline him, and I will never let anyone be wronged."

After hearing this, Lu Mingyu was basically sure that Mrs. Gao was extremely protective of her shortcomings.

Hearing this, she smiled slightly: "Mrs. Gao really understands justice. Seeing that Mrs. Gao is so sensible, I can rest assured."

Mrs. Gao was shocked and confused, wondering what kind of medicine Lu Mingyu was selling in his gourd.

She originally thought that such an answer would anger the great uncle, and she was also prepared to be questioned. Unexpectedly, the great uncle was like her, saying things that sounded nice but were actually useless.

This made her even more uncertain about the purpose of the concubine.

The more suspicious she became, the more frightened she became.

In the end, she had no choice but to kneel down tremblingly in front of Lu Mingyu: "Your Majesty, I have no idea what happened between Xiangning and Princess Zhenli. Please give me your instructions on what I should do."

Lu Mingyu's smile did not change, but Lu Yi quickly helped Mrs. Gao up.

Lu Yi said respectfully: "Madam, it's not that our empress doesn't make things clear, it's that this fact is really hard to talk about."

"The empress has always been kind and kind, so she would not do anything like using her power to oppress others. She invited Madam here because she wanted to resolve the matter."

Mrs. Gao couldn't believe Lu Yi's words. Seeing that Lu Mingyu didn't express her position, she broke into a cold sweat and said, "Your Majesty, I will fully cooperate with you."

Lu Mingyu saw that the time was almost up, so she went straight to the point: "I just said that I found the right one to find Mrs. Gao today."

Mrs. Gao waited for instructions tremblingly.

Lu Mingyu spoke slowly: "If it weren't for the complete collection of human and material evidence, I would not have rashly approached Mrs. Gao. Xiangning has indeed done something wrong in this matter."

"I believe that I don't need to tell Madam Gao about the temperament of Xiangning and the Crown Princess. They were trained by Grandpa Fu Wang and they have to look to Madam and Sir to make decisions."

"Now that His Majesty is seriously ill, Chao Gang still needs adults. Please have a good talk with Mrs. Gao and Mr. Gao. Don't be distracted by this kind of thing and cause trouble to His Highness who is supervising the country."

"Because of His Majesty's affairs, people are now in panic. It is not good for the country's affairs. It is even worse for the officials in the DPRK to suspect that it is related to His Majesty's assassination."

After saying that, Lu Mingyu stood up slowly: "I am exhausted, so I won't keep Mrs. Gao."

Mrs. Gao was still uneasy because of Lu Mingyu's words. Seeing Lu Mingyu say goodbye, she subconsciously let out a sigh of relief, but then her whole heart became tense again.

The uncle and concubine made it clear that she wanted to protect her shortcomings, but she didn't say a word to show her intention to protect her shortcomings. When these words were spread, there was no excuse for others.

But she knew that if she didn't take these words seriously, the consequences would be serious.

It was Taishu Concubine who gave them face and called her over to say this. Although there was a threat in her words, it was extremely tactful.

She should have a good talk with her master when she goes back.
