After being turned into cannon fodder, I relied on involution to survive
Chapter 291 Slip of the tongue
Xiao Shaoyuan didn't really want to care about the life and death of the greedy Zhang Meiren, but he despised this stupid and bad woman because her greed hurt his two children.
As expected, this woman first reflected that his precious son didn't care about his sister's life or death, and then because of his disillusionment, he began to insult his only daughter.
This made Xiao Shaoyuan angry. Seeing that the carriage had reached a distance where he could "take action", he immediately grabbed the teapot on the table and threw it out.
When the coachman stopped the carriage, he immediately lifted up his clothes and jumped out.
"I gave you money to sever you, but you said you couldn't bear to leave my daughter. My daughter said she would accompany you to the Zhang family, but you refused. You said the Zhang family couldn't support you. My daughter said she could support you, but you said you couldn't bear it. She used her own money to subsidize you. My daughter said that you can also spend the severance money, but you immediately turned your back and abused her. So what do you want? Do you simply want to be with your child, or do you want to be with your child? Do you want to use your child’s name to get more gold and silver, higher status, and better treatment?”
Zhang Meiren was a treacherous person, and she was naturally afraid of Xiao Shaoyuan with a dark face. In addition, Xiao Shaoyuan revealed her true purpose, and she couldn't help but feel guilty.
Zhang Meiren, who had been cursing the eldest princess before, now knelt down at Xiao Shaoyuan's feet with her neck curled up.
She tried hard to cry so hard that she could not only express her sadness and grievance, but also highlight her weakness and beauty.
"Your Majesty~~~"
As soon as these two words were spoken, Zhang Meiren immediately received a fierce glare from Xiao Shaoyuan.
At the same time, Yu Zizhen's ministers and guards all turned their heads and stared at Zhang Meiren who was kneeling at Xiao Shaoyuan's feet with rather unkind eyes.
Zhang Meiren was so frightened that she burped in tears. At this moment, she realized that her mouth was running faster than her brain, and she accidentally got into trouble.
She didn't dare to neglect, and kept kowtowing in the direction of Yu Zizhen, "Your Majesty, forgive me, Your Majesty, forgive me. It was just a slip of the tongue. It was really just a slip of the tongue."
Of course Yu Zizhen knew that it was just a slip of the tongue. In fact, everyone present knew that Zhang Meiren was just a slip of the tongue. But in this world, how many people died because their mouths ran faster than their brains for a moment, and even their family members and friends were also killed?
During the Guangda Qi Dynasty, two thousand people were convicted or died in literary prisons for their speeches.
Zhang Meiren's "Your Majesty", even if Yu Zizhen directly believed that she had an undying desire for restoration and directly sentenced her to death, it would still stand.
Even if Yu Zizhen was more ruthless, she could expand this crime enough to implicate the whole Zhang family, the monks from Huangjue Temple, and those who served Zhang Meiren and helped Zhang Meiren sneak out.
This was under the premise that Yu Zizhen wanted to protect Xiao Shaoyuan's family, rather than taking advantage of the situation to get rid of them, members of the former royal family.
If she were smaller-minded and more suspicious, she could even easily involve Xiao Shaoyuan, the person whom Zhang Meiren called "Your Majesty".
Zhang Meiren, who has lived in the harem for many years, is very familiar with this. She is afraid that Yu Zizhen will be like the big Lu family and the little Lu family, because one word can kill her and her family.
"Okay, don't kowtow for now. How to deal with this matter will be discussed later." Seeing that the eldest princess was so worry-free, Yu Zizhen did not take advantage of this to get angry at Zhang Meiren. She looked at Xiao Shaoyuan and said, "Your private matter is inconvenient for me. Intervene, you can handle the issue of Zhang Meiren's whereabouts." She had said so, and everyone still didn't understand that she would not punish Zhang Meiren because of this slip of the tongue.
But Zhang Meiren herself was still very panicked. She was not a smart person in the first place, and now she was frightened that her mouth could run faster than her brain, so her reaction suddenly became even slower.
After Yu Zizhen left, she just didn't dare to fight for the glory and wealth she desperately desired. Xiao Shaoyuan had a tough attitude and asked people to send her back to Zhang's house, and ordered her not to take the initiative to come to the eldest princess again. Zhang Meiren all agreed.
As for the eldest princess, Xiao Shaoyuan was not going to give her the so-called autonomy this time. As a father, he directly ordered the eldest princess to leave with him.
Although China is now ruled by a female emperor, people's inherent thinking is not so easy to change.
Among the people, and even in the mansions of nobles and courtiers, people still subconsciously place the role of father and male host before the role of mother and hostess.
Regarding the right to belong to a child, people still subconsciously believe that the father and his family have the absolute say in this right.
With Xiao Shaoyuan's connivance, the eldest princess can make her own decision about whether she should stay or go. However, when Xiao Shaoyuan is unwilling to connive at her, according to common sense, people generally believe that she should follow her father. Not the mother.
Zhang Meiren's fuss was suppressed silently. Those former royal families and monks who wanted to use her as a bellwether unfortunately did not infer anything about them from Yu Zizhen's attitude towards this matter. Useful information.
However, they were not disappointed, because Yu Zizhen might be able to stay out of Zhang Meiren's affairs, but she would never be able to leave those people in Zhenbei Palace to others.
Including Princess Zhenbei and Yu Zicheng, King Zhenbei had a large number of family members and clan members, and Yu Zizhen could only deal with them personally.
Speaking of which, many people were actually looking forward to a series of dramas between her and the Zhenbei Palace as early as when Yu Zizhen ascended the throne and got married. It's a pity that Yu Zizhen was really a thief in this matter.
But it turned out that although she had long accepted King Zhenbei's surrender, it was not until after her wedding that she relaxed her control over the actions of King Zhenbei's family members and clan members.
Thanks to her, it was difficult for them to even leave the northern border, let alone come to the capital to cause trouble for Yu Zizhen.
Not only did Yu Zizhen handle the two major events of enthroning the throne and getting married as quickly as possible, but she also took advantage of the opportunity she had to physically isolate the family members and clan members of King Zhenbei to catch many people who tried to use them to cause trouble for Yu Zizhen.
Those people wanted to stir up trouble behind their backs, but unexpectedly Yu Zizhen actually made various arrangements in advance. This arrangement not only made them fall short, but also forced them to face Yu Zizhen's imperial majesty.
Compared with these guys who have whims and want to seduce Yu Zizhen in private, King Zhenbei, who is the "sufferer", is much wiser.
Not only did he not object to Yu Zizhen temporarily placing his family members and clan members under house arrest, but he was also very honest and did not make any mistakes at the important moment of Yu Zizhen's accession to the throne and his marriage.
