Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

Chapter 820: Lu's family is being targeted

Hu Xinyue's words are like a pig's heart.

But all the concubines, even though they knew that this seemed like a plot to alienate each other, had to accept it.

Because this is an open conspiracy.

The key point is that this is how it should be done according to the rules.

Shouldn't the main culprit be dealt with severely?

Thinking of this, a concubine who came from a military officer's family couldn't help but stepped forward and said.

"Your Highness, I want to report it!"

"This would never have happened, it's all because of that Lu family!"

"Not only did she keep talking about how much money the workshop made and how good the benefits were in front of us, she also kept saying that if the Crown Princess could manage it, then we, as concubines of the Eastern Palace, could also manage it."

"We were also bewitched by the devil, and were tempted by her words to have thoughts that we shouldn't have."

"Your Highness, I report this and accept the punishment!"

Lu suddenly turned her head and looked at Guan who had stood out with a face full of resentment. Her expression was as if she wanted to eat someone.

But Hu Xinyue smiled and said, "Well, that's good!"

"Now that things have been said, it will be easier to deal with."

"Mr. Lu, do you admit what Mrs. Guan just said?"

"The rest of you are here. If you don't admit it, you can refute it in court."

Lu glared at Guan with gritted teeth, and Guan glared back with the same arrogance.

Mrs. Lu took a deep breath, then turned her head and looked at Hu Xinyue calmly, holding her head high.

"Your Highness, I accept it!"

"I wonder how Your Highness will deal with me?"

Hu Xinyue twitched the corner of her mouth, looked at the people below the stairs, and said in a deep voice.

"I never do anything that would punish someone without teaching them, but what you did is completely contrary to the rules I set before."

"In this case, considering that you are first-time offenders, the main offender Lu will be confined to house arrest for six months, and the rest of you will be confined to house arrest for one month."

"Among them, Guan's report was meritorious, so his house arrest was reduced by half a month."

"Everyone's ration will be halved during the quarantine period!"

"All the disciples you arranged to come in, send them back!"

"Do you accept this punishment?"

"I accept the punishment!"

There was nothing to say, including to Mrs. Lu. Even though her lip corners were almost bitten, she still confessed her guilt honestly.

Because this punishment is already the lightest. If they deny it, Hu Xinyue will definitely not mind punishing their parents as well.

Guan was delighted.

Grounded?

Half a month?
Ha, what kind of punishment is this?
To be honest, normally these concubines don't have much to do, so it's normal for them to stay in their own palace for ten days or half a month without going out.

The Crown Princess's punishment was simply to lift her up high and then drop her gently.

Of course, the one from Lu is not!

As the highest-ranking concubine under the Crown Princess, and an old veteran who entered the palace early, she originally had some prestige among the concubines.

But now that this punishment has been imposed, not only has this prestige been completely destroyed.

The most important thing is that you are under house arrest for a whole year!

With this house arrest, not only can he not leave the palace, but even the prince won't be able to go to bed.

This is fatal!

For people like them, whether there is an allowance or not is all about face.

With support from their mother's family, they don't care about these things.

But the only thing she has is the favor from the master of the East Palace. If she loses that, it would be the same as being banished to the cold palace.

But...what can they do? Lu walked out of the main hall of the East Palace in despair, looking up at the cold and lonely winter sun, but she felt it was particularly dazzling.

But before she could sigh that it was fate, she was bumped into by someone from behind.

She turned her head and glared at him, only to find that it was Guan.

But before she could open her mouth, Guan spoke first.

"Mr. Lu, you can do it!"

“You’re really good!”

"You wanted to gain benefits for yourself and your family, but you thought it was too dangerous to step forward on your own, so you dragged me into it."

"Now you have gotten what you deserved, but I won't accept it!"

"Why should I be dragged into this?"

When Mrs. Lu heard this, she was so aggrieved that she almost cried.

"You've only been grounded for half a month, what else do you want?"

Guan sneered when he heard this.

"What else?"

"I was grounded for half a month because I finally got smart and didn't go down the same path with you."

"This is my own ability!"

"So, I still remember what you did to me!"

"You just took advantage of your civil servant background to learn some tricks to deceive people."

"Don't worry, I can't beat you, but can my dad beat your dad?"

"Don't worry, I'll send a message home later. Although my father is not a noble, he is a crude military commander that you look down upon. If nothing else, he knows a little bit about fighting and weapons!"

"His beloved daughter was cheated by someone, so he must be looking for your master to vent his anger, right?"

"Hahaha, luckily your father is only a fifth-rank official, so it doesn't matter if he's beaten. It's just a salary deduction!"

"This is the retribution you brought upon your father, haha!"

“You…you…you…you…you”

Mrs. Lu pointed at Mrs. Guan and couldn't speak clearly.

But Guan just raised her chin and walked away proudly.

From that look, if someone knew about it, they would think he was going to be punished with house arrest, while if someone didn't, they would think he had won a battle.

At this moment, Mrs. Lu covered her chest and almost vomited blood.

But this was not what she feared most. What she was afraid of was that the other concubines were also looking at her with shining eyes.

At this moment, she suddenly realized.

Hiss... Why are there so many concubines from military generals' families in the Eastern Palace?

Fortunately, she was so complacent at first, and these people couldn't see through her tricks.

But she forgot that although these people could not see through these little tricks, they had no shortage of military force in their families.

Looking at the current situation, I’m afraid that not only my father but everyone else in the family will suffer.

What should I do now?!
The quarrel outside the hall reached the ears of Hu Xinyue inside the hall without any concealment.

But in the face of such excitement, she just picked up the teacup calmly.

Humph, although she was born into a top civil servant family, her father is not only extremely talented but also proficient in martial arts.

If one day these concubines insist on doing something sneaky to make her angry, it seems that it is not impossible for Daddy to teach them a lesson.

In addition to directly destroying someone's official position, it seems that beating them up is also a good way of revenge.

Well, write it down, and find some time to talk to dad about it.

Humph, Mrs. Lu is indeed quite clever, but she only has some secret tricks that only women in the backyard can use.

But, you still have to be careful.

Don't be fooled by others, or you will be in big trouble. (End of this chapter)
