The daughter of the emperor is reborn, and she can't escape from offending the emperor's u

Chapter 116 Poor people must be hateful

This shogunate incident shocked the court and the public. It turned out that slaves also had ambitions. After seeing wealth and luxury, they also wanted to be masters.

Many families conducted thorough investigations at home and uncovered many cases of corruption and lawlessness.

The Dali Temple interrogated the three people overnight, and the most innocent one was the girl herself.

The manager and her son are birds of a feather and their crime is unforgivable.

The manager embezzled nearly 7000 taels of silver in total, leaving less than taels. The rest was used to buy jewelry, fields, shops, etc., leaving taels of silver unknown!

The steward refused to give in, so Mu Qingqing had to mobilize Xiao's connections. After three days, she finally found the steward's mistress in a courtyard in the capital.

The yard was very large, with many servants. The head of the household was a widow with a four-year-old son.

Even the mother and daughter in charge didn't know about this.

When the house was searched, there were people everywhere. The woman hugged her son and cried loudly, saying that the officers and soldiers were robbers.

The people in the Dali Temple looked at her with disgust. They knew that the man was married, but she insisted on being his mistress and even a housekeeper. Her son could only take his mother's surname.

"You can't touch my money. This is the money my late husband gave me. This yard was also bought by my late husband!"

The woman wailed and prostrated herself at the feet of the officers and soldiers.

She was used to a life of luxury, and she considered these things to be hers. How could she be willing to have them taken away from her?

The child was so frightened that he lay in his mother's arms, crying.

The gate to the courtyard was sealed and guarded by soldiers. A sergeant stepped forward and took up the charge in his hand.

"Li is the mistress of the Mu family's housekeeper. She has obtained ill-gotten gains of three thousand taels, including this courtyard, gold and silver jewelry, and gold and silver for buying servants. All illegal properties are now confiscated..."

The other party read out the details of the use of the silver.

The mistress's face changed. Even the money she gave to her lover was recorded. How could she cry and make a fuss?

The servants and maids were sent back to the human traffickers, who took them back according to a certain amount of money.

The woman held the child and cried. The last moment she was the mistress of the house, but now she has lost even her home.

People around him whispered, "How dare this person cry? He was someone else's mistress. Tsk tsk, and gave birth to a bastard!"

"That's right. By the way, has this woman been married before?"

Everyone fell into reminiscence. A woman seemed to appear suddenly and said that her husband had died in the battle and she was the only one left.

After the child is born, it is said that he is the ex-husband's child and is a posthumous child.

Everyone realized that they had been deceived from the beginning. No wonder someone visited them late at night and said he was a relative.

At this point, sympathy turned into contempt, and if the men looked at him for even a second, they would be twisted by the ears and taken away by the women around them.

"What? Do you like that vixen too?"

"My dear, I was wrong. How could I possibly like her? It hurts..."

Soon, all the people in the alley dispersed.

The woman bit her lip. Useless thing, useless man, can't even protect the children.

She could only leave with the child in her arms. She used her own private money to buy a small courtyard, which was not big. The courtyard was not included in the description just given.

The yard was not tidied up and looked shabby, but at least we didn't have to suffer the cold anymore.

The steward and his mother were beheaded, and the girl was made a criminal slave and forced to become a military prostitute.

The appearance that she used to be proud of has now become her nightmare.

The tragic ending of the three housekeepers served as a warning to everyone, and both the masters and servants became more cautious.

Mu Qingqing assisted her second sister-in-law in resolving the issues at the manor, and her mother sent someone to live in the manor again.

Of the several thousand taels of silver, banknotes and gold and silver jewelry that were lost, 5900 taels were recovered, and the rest was not returned. The jewelry had been taken away before, so they were sold directly.

Madam Mu found someone she could trust to look after the manor.

Because of this incident, the Mu family screened all of their properties and found many problems.

As for the winery, the amount of goods it purchased was seriously inconsistent with the fare it paid.

However, the winery issue only happened in the past two years and is relatively easy to handle.

Because of the thorough investigation, a group of servants and maids in the Mu Mansion were replaced, especially several middle-level managers.

There were many spies among other officials in the Mu Mansion, so naturally many of them were eliminated.

During this period before the New Year, everyone in the Mu Mansion was very tired, from top to bottom. Even General Mu, who didn't care about anything, felt physically and mentally exhausted.

Not to mention Mu Qingqing, the other party actually extended his hand into her own yard, so don't blame her for being rude.

Fortunately, the palace banquet will be here soon.

This time, except for the eldest sister-in-law, everyone participated, even the nephews were asked by their mother to dress up.

My nephews are grown up and sensible now, and at least they won’t get into trouble, so I considered taking them along.

The journey was made more lively with the children around. My second sister-in-law is a gentle person and is very patient with children.

Although Aunt Mu Qingqing doesn't like to play with them on weekdays, she will buy them all kinds of delicious food.

Even Cousin Song was highly loved by the children.

Cousin Song held her little nephew tightly in her arms. He was just three years old and so soft and cute, which completely met her fantasy of her future child.

Mu Qingqing knew her cousin's condition. The treatment was going well. If she took good care of herself, she should be able to successfully conceive a child, but it all depended on God's will.

Looking at the big and small person opposite, if Chu Manman were here, she would definitely smile and joke with them.

By the way, Chu Manman will not attend the palace banquet today. After all, she is engaged and is being kept at home by the eldest princess.

Although I don’t have to embroider a wedding dress, I’d still like to embroider some purses as a token of my appreciation.

The other engaged Mu Qingqing was much more at ease. After all, the emperor would not let the two of them get married so early.

When I arrived at the palace gate, I didn't see King Han. I was a little disappointed. I thought he must have gone in long ago.

A group of people walked inside.

Mu Qingqing and her cousin each held a nephew's hand and arrived at the palace banquet. Quite a few people had already arrived.

Then more people came one after another.

After all, the banquet only happens once a year, and some generals at the border and those who have been sent back to Beijing will return before the palace banquet.

This was my cousin’s first time attending the event, and she specially learned various etiquettes from Mu Qingqing, so as not to bring shame to the Mu family.

"The Emperor has arrived, the Empress has arrived, His Royal Highness the Prince of Han has arrived, the Emperor of the Kingdom has arrived, the Princess of the Kingdom has arrived..."

Mu Qingqing was stunned, then knelt down with everyone else to greet them.

"Haha, my dear ministers, please stand up. I am happy today. Let's have a good drink."

The emperor was really happy that Xiangguo took the initiative to seek peace, and even the emperor and princess of Xiangguo went to Chu in person.

What is this? This is the other party taking the initiative to show goodwill. My country is indeed the best.

This sound is pleasant to the ears. It seems that the emperor is really happy today.

When Mu Qingqing raised her head and glanced at King Han secretly, she saw that he was looking at her with gentle eyes!

Mu Qingqing's face turned red and she lowered her head guiltily. Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she looked at the other person again.
