After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Mother Lu looked incredulous when she heard this.

Ruan Baozhu not only stole people, but the son Duan Boyu had raised for ten years was not his son?

Is there anything funnier than this?

Mother Lu blinked, thinking it was a dream she had. She took Aunt Rong's hand and asked repeatedly: "Is it true?"

"It's true." Aunt Rong nodded vigorously, unable to hide the joy on her face.

Thinking of the hardship the old lady suffered because of Ruan Baozhu, she hated Ruan Baozhu.

Now that something happened to Ruan Baozhu, she was the first to applaud.

After Mother Lu was sure it was true, she relaxed and leaned back on the chair, "She, Ruan Baozhu, is also here today?"

"If you do too many bad things, you will definitely get retribution." Aunt Rong said with a smile, "Now not only Ruan Baozhu, but also the entire Ruan family has been humiliated. Ruan Baozhu is divorced and returned to her natal family this time. The Ruan family will definitely not be able to tolerate her. , what awaits her is a dead end. "

In order to save face, most people in a big family will directly deal with those who have done something scandalous. Even if Ruan Baozhu is the legitimate daughter of the Ruan family, this is no exception.

Moreover, she is stealing people.

Stealing people will be punished by being imprisoned in a pig cage.

One can imagine what would happen to Ruan Baozhu who was divorced and returned to her parents' home.

Mother Lu was startled and said in surprise: "It stands to reason that no matter how angry Duan Boyu is when Ruan Baozhu has done such a scandal, he will not publicize it. After all, he himself is shameless after being betrayed by his wife. For the sake of face, he will try his best to block it. It’s just news, how come it spread all over the capital overnight?”

Aunt Rong was stunned for a moment, "Maybe General Duan was not the only one who discovered the adultery last night, but someone else saw it and spread the news."

Mother Lu shook her head, "It's impossible. Even if there are others present, they should be servants of the Duan family. It's impossible for Duan Boyu to let his servants spread the scandal."

"Since it wasn't spread by a member of the Duan family, then who could it be?" Aunt Rong was puzzled.

Mother Lu didn't understand either, but she knew that this matter was not simple.

……

"Who spread the news?"

At this time, Duan Boyu, who received the news, looked livid and angry.

What happened just last night spread throughout the capital this morning.

He knew that there must be someone behind this incident.

Thinking of the assassin last night, he instantly understood.

The assassin's purpose was not to assassinate him, but to lure him to another courtyard and break up the affair between Ruan Baozhu and his concubine.

Speaking of which, he also wanted to thank the person behind it.

If it weren't for the person behind the scenes, he wouldn't have known that Ruan Baozhu, who was usually dignified and virtuous, could be so wicked and nasty.

If it weren't for the person behind it, he would still be kept in the dark, acting as a scapegoat and raising a son for someone else.

But who could be doing this behind the scenes?
Duan Boyu was puzzled.

"General." At this time, his bodyguard walked in quickly.

Duan Boyu stopped his thoughts and turned to look at him, "What's wrong?"

The guard lowered his head and replied respectfully: "The young master has been sent back to the Ruan family. Madam... Ruan has also been sent back. However, Ruan Zhongcheng ordered that Ruan be immersed in a pig cage and she has already sunk in the pond."

Duan Boyu didn't feel anything when he heard this. That was the fate Ruan Baozhu deserved.

After pondering for a moment, he said: "Go immediately and find out who came from the news in Beijing today. If you find out, report back immediately."

"Yes." The guard responded and retreated.

……

Qiao Jingjing had also heard about Mrs. Duan at this time, but she was not too surprised. After all, she had heard about it from Lu Xingzhi last night. But how could the news spread so quickly?

According to what Mallow said, everyone in the capital now knows.

After thinking about it for a moment, she knew it was Lu Xingzhi's handiwork.

After knowing the persecution that Lu's mother suffered back then, how could he not seek revenge as a human son?
Moreover, Madam Duan had made it clear that she would not let Mother Lu go, so how could Lu Xingzhi let her continue to humiliate Mother Lu?
Therefore, he asked people to publicize Mrs. Duan's scandal, spreading it all over the capital.

If not, how could the Ruan family deal with Mrs. Duan? At most, Mrs. Duan would be divorced and returned to her natal family.

But now that the scandal has come out and spread in Beijing, the Ruan family must deal with Ruan Baozhu in order to preserve their reputation.

Moreover, it is not to be dealt with quietly, but must be dealt with in a big way to show the Ruan family's hatred for the unscrupulous people.

Sure enough, just after she thought about it, Qingyuan ran in and said with a frightened face: "I heard that Mrs. Duan, who was about to be divorced from the Ruan family and returned to her natal family, was given to the sink. Many people came to see her."

Although Qiao Jingjing had expected it, she was still shocked when she heard Mrs. Duan's fate.

The Ruan family is really decisive and ruthless in doing things.

She heard that Mrs. Duan was Ruan Zhongcheng's only legitimate daughter, and she was also loved by Ruan Zhongcheng in the past. Unexpectedly, Ruan Zhongcheng did not hesitate to deal with her after something happened, and she died in such a humiliating way.

In front of the family's face, it seems that no matter how valued the daughter is, she is not worth mentioning. When it is time to sacrifice, she will be sacrificed without hesitation.

Qiao Jingjing sighed for a while and then put the matter behind her.

She got up late today. After lunch, she went for a walk in the garden to eat.

She wandered all the way from the garden to the front yard.

As soon as I arrived in the front yard, I saw Chongxi coming back from outside.

"I've met Madam." Chongxi saw her and stepped forward to salute.

Qiao Jingjing thought of what Lu Xingzhi said last night, and couldn't help but look him over, and then asked in a low voice: "Chongxi, was you the assassin last night?"

Upon hearing this, Chongxi was startled, "I don't understand what Madam is talking about."

Seeing his denial, Qiao Jingjing was not annoyed. Instead, she praised him, "Well done."

Hearing this, Chongxi felt relieved.

Of course he knew what the lady was referring to.

It seems that Madam knows everything about last night, and the adults should have told her.

Seeing that the lady didn't ask any questions, he cupped her hands and retreated.

Qiao Jingjing wandered around the front yard for a while and then prepared to go back.

It's cloudy and extremely cold today, so I'd better go back inside and stay comfortable.

But when she arrived outside the gate of Meixiangyuan, she saw Zhiyi who was waiting in Mother Lu's room coming over.

"Madam." Zhiyi saw her and stepped forward to salute respectfully.

"What's wrong, the old lady is looking for me?" Qiao Jingjing asked.

Zhiyi nodded, "The old lady wants to play cards, so I asked the slave to come over and see if she is free."

When Qiao Jingjing heard this, she thought about the hosta and hurried back to the house to get it, and then followed Zhiyi to Dexintang.

When she arrived, Lu Shuangshuang was also there.

This girl has learned the rules and etiquette for a period of time, and her whole temperament has changed a lot.

Although Lu Shuangshuang is not as outstanding as his brothers, it may be because he has been studying palace rules and etiquette continuously during this period. When he calms down, he actually has a bit of momentum.

Sensing Qiao Jingjing's scrutiny, Lu Shuangshuang raised his eyes and looked at her, wondering: "Why do you, sister-in-law, look at me like this?" (End of Chapter)
