Chapter 84
Zhang Yushi said coldly: "Things are raging in the court, and the ministers even wrote a letter to impeach me on the grounds that women don't teach how to discipline others. Although the emperor hasn't issued an order yet, I know that promotion is impossible. It’s a good thing if you don’t get demoted.”

"Is there no room for turning things around?" Aunt Zhang's housekeeping power was taken away, and if Zhang Yushi couldn't be promoted, she would have no leverage to confront Aunt Ma.

"The imperial decree is about to come down, do you think there is room for turning it around?" It was all her good deeds, and she hindered herself at this critical moment.

Aunt Zhang's eyes flickered slightly, and she knelt down on the ground: "Yulan, what are you doing, get up quickly." Mrs. Yushi sighed helplessly, and went to help her, but Aunt Zhang couldn't hold back: "Father, can you listen to my daughter?" Explain one or two."

"Master, Yulan has always been well-behaved and obedient, and she will never do such a thing that violates the etiquette. Why don't you give her a chance to explain." Fearing that Zhang Yushi would lose his temper again, Mrs. Yushi begged anxiously.

Zhang Yushi was in a depressed mood. After venting, his anger dissipated a little, and then he looked at Aunt Zhang's pitiful, remorseful appearance, and Mrs. Yushi's earnest persuasion, and the anger in his chest dissipated a little: "What can I say? , It’s okay to say it straight.” At this point, I will definitely not be able to be promoted, and it doesn’t matter if I listen to her explanation.

"Father, my daughter's remarks by Mr. Harsh are pure nonsense. Others are definitely jealous of my father's promotion and intentionally framed her." Aunt Zhang said in tears: "My daughter is surrounded by many enemies, and she has always dealt with them carefully. She never thought that she would still be tricked by them. , Grasping the handle, the daughter is just the housekeeper being taken away, which is not a big deal, but he never thought that the father was burdened by the daughter, charged with lax teaching, and lost a good chance of promotion, because the daughter was stupid, unfilial, and implicated Daddy and mother, please punish Daddy!"

"You have been taken away from the right of housekeeper in the Hou's mansion?" Zhang Yushi faintly sensed that something was wrong.

"That's right, just now my daughter went to Songshoutang to hand over the power!" Aunt Zhang wiped her tears lightly: "Seeing what the old lady means, I want to hand over the power to Aunt Ma and the eldest lady..."

"Murong Yu is the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion. She will get married in two years, so there is nothing to be afraid of. On the contrary, Aunt Ma is only the daughter of a fifth-rank official. How can the old lady think so highly of her?" The power in the mansion is handed over to an aunt, which means that she intends to make her the main wife.Mrs. Yushi had met Aunt Ma several times, but she didn't see anything better than her own daughter.

"She is more than three months pregnant..."

What?Aunt Ma is pregnant!Both Zhang Yushi and Mrs. Yushi's eyes were full of shock: It's no wonder that the eldest son of the Hou family, Murong An, has passed away. The aunt in the house, whoever gives birth to a son first, will be more likely to be righted...

Mrs. Yushi helped Aunt Zhang up, and glanced at her flat belly meaningfully: "Yulan, you still don't have any news?" Since Lin'er was born, she has never been pregnant again.

Aunt Zhang lowered her head: "Mom, this kind of thing can't be rushed."

Mrs. Yushi patted the back of Aunt Zhang's hand and sighed: "Yes, the matter of heirs depends on fate. Sometimes in fate, there will eventually be."

"Lan'er means that it is Aunt Ma who framed you for being mean." She is also the one who made her unable to get promoted!
"This... my daughter is not very sure yet!" Aunt Zhang hesitated for a moment: "Aunt Ma's parents are all in other provinces, and she has been staying in the village outside the city some time ago, so she doesn't know much about the affairs of the Hou Mansion, but... ..." Aunt Zhang hesitated to speak.

"But what? If you have something to say, finish it at once, don't hesitate." Zhang Yushi's anger was still a little bit, and he was not very pleasing to the eye when looking at people and things.

"Missy and Aunt Ma have a good relationship, she was the one who went to pick up Aunt Ma from Zhuangzi yesterday." Aunt Zhang secretly planned the matter between Aunt Ma and Murong Yu, but she automatically ignored it.

"You have always treated Murong Yu well, and I have no grievances with her in the past few days, and I will have no enmity in the future. Why does she help Aunt Ma who has no natal background to deal with us?" Zhang Yushi has two things to become a censor. Yes, a few words can't fool him.

"Dad has already known about the opening of the school in the Hou's mansion. The gentleman who was invited is a poor student from a poor family. He failed in the autumn scientific examination and was named Sun Shan. Master Hou admired his talent and wanted to cultivate it, so he was invited to teach in the mansion just now." , Missy also appreciates the master's talents very much, and often praises him in front of the old lady..."

Zhang Yushi's eyes narrowed in an instant. He used to be a student from a poor family, and he understood the mentality of a down-and-out scholar who was eager to cling to the powerful. Murong Yu praised Mr., which made him make progress, and then dreamed of going further with the Hou family and improving his status. ...

"According to the servant next to Master Hou, Master Hou went to the General's Mansion yesterday and took Mr. with him. Originally, Mr. was waiting outside the door, but for some reason, Missy sent someone to call him in. Not only did I meet the crown prince and Luoyang Wang Shizi and others, but I also recited poems in public, and everyone praised..."

Zhang Yushi sneered: The general's mansion has always been at odds with him. If you connect everything together, the cause and effect will be much clearer.

Lu Haowen is a student from a poor family, food, clothing, housing, and use are not comparable to those in the Hou Mansion. Coupled with the encouragement of Murong Xiu and Murong Yu, he became bolder and dreamed of staying in the Zhongyong Hou Mansion and enjoying the treatment of the so-called gentleman.

There was a banquet in the general's mansion yesterday, when he chanted poems with the crown prince, the prince and others, he intentionally revealed that he was still living in the dilapidated house, and wanted to use the prince and others to suppress them with etiquette and get Murong Xiu to agree to let him live in the marquis. government, but he didn't want it to be taken advantage of by those who wanted to impeach him.

Whether Murong Yu, Aunt Ma, and Lu Haowen really conspired, Aunt Zhang didn't care. What she wanted was a reason to deal with Aunt Ma and Murong Yu. Being taken back, she couldn't do much, so she wanted to use Zhang Yushi's hand to eradicate Murong Yu and Aunt Ma.

Because of Aunt Zhang's relationship, Zhang Yushi has no hope of promotion. With his temper, even if he doesn't sever the father-daughter relationship with her, he will be angry and ignore her. Aunt Ma contended.
