Blissful Days After Widowhood - Chapter 330

When Mrs. Wang went down, she was stopped by someone, so she did not catch up with Mrs. Qin. 

“This old mess, see if I don’t tear her mouth off!” Mrs. Wang said to Empress Dowager when she went back, and planned to get in a carriage to Duke Lu’s mansion to seek justice. 

The older woman’s face was also ugly, but she still pulled Mrs Wang and said, “It is taboo to quarrel in the beginning of the year, and bad luck will come next year.” 

Mrs. Wang naturally knew that, but she still gritted her teeth in hatred and said, “I also know that, but we don’t have to let people talk about our children like that!” 

“If you can trust me, I will handle this matter. I will help you!” 

Mrs. Wang was stunned. “Old sister, why are you only afraid of me making taboos, but not afraid of making taboos yourself?” The Empress Dowager said, “If I scold her, she won’t dare to talk back. You wait, I’ll go back to do this now!” 

She wouldn’t dare to speak back? Mrs. Wang hadn’t figured it out yet, and her older sister left in a hurry. 

In the evening of the same day, Mrs. Qin, the old lady of the Duke Lu’s mansion, was reprimanded by the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager was a believer in Buddhism. She lived in a secluded place. She had never berated someone, let alone sending a decree from Cining Hall to send a team of palace servants out of the main gate.

A large group of palace servants entered the mansion of Duke Lu to pass on the decree of the Empress Dowager, and Mrs. Qin had to put on the official clothes and kneel to pick them up. 

Although the decree did not contain dirty words, the whole decree was to denounce Mrs. Qin misconduct and talk.

Of course, at the end of it, the Empress Dowager also praised the juniors of Duke Lu’s mansion, saying that fortunately they were not influenced by Mrs. Qin. 

The part was naturally praising the daughter-in-law and it also meant that Concubine Feng was also good. After all, Concubine Feng was also her daughter-in-law

The eunuch who passed the decree read it at the gate for almost two quarters of an hour, and finally finished reading the decree. 

In the end, the eunuch said with a smile, “Old Madam, take the order. The Empress Dowager is a kind-hearted person who doesn’t like to mix things up, and today is an exception for you. I hope you don’t let down the sincere teachings of an old woman.” 

For the New Year’s Eve, the Empress Dowager made such a scolding. Mrs. Qin was ashamed and angry, but she had to bite the bullet and take the decree respectfully. 

The so-called good things didn’t spread, but bad things spread thousands of miles. In just one night, that thing spread all over the capital, and Mrs Qin became a joke in the high-level circle of the capital. 

She didn’t know how many people she had offended with her mouth, but in the past, the Empress Dowager and Empress Zhou didn’t interfere.

But since the Empress Dowager had spoken out, at the end of the New Year, there were few opportunities for the women to go into the palace to seek justice. Taking advantage of that trend, a group of women who had been rejected by Mrs. Qin went to the palace early the next morning to complain. 

And Mrs. Wang finally knew why if her old sister scolded her, Mrs. Qin would definitely not dare to talk back. 

That was because Mrs. Qin didn’t dare to retaliate when she was scolded by her!! The old lady was the Emperor’s mother. 

 …… 

Later, when Mrs. Qin fell ill, Feng Yuan entered the palace and wanted to use her mother age as an excuse to ask for grace from Emperor Zhengyuan, so that the Empress Dowager would issue a decree to comfort her mother and restore her mother’s reputation. 

Emperor Zhengyuan acted even more anxiously than she did, he had already sorted out what the women said, put them all in front of Feng Yuan, and said with a bitter face, “I was thinking of helping your old mother restore her reputation. It’s just that she offended so many people, it’s really hard for me!” 

Feng Yuan was stunned for a while reading the words, and she couldn’t believe that those words came from her mother. 

“They must be exaggerating because of jealousy. Ah Yuan, you don’t have to be like this.” 

After she read the letters, Emperor Zhengyuan let people burn the letters, patted her on the shoulder and said, “You are part of the founding of the country, and the old lady is your mother. I also don’t believe that the prince and princess have such a grandmother.” 

Feng Yuan didn’t dare to intercede, thinking that it would be good not to increase the punishment, and quickly knelt down and thanked him gratefully. 

A year had passed like that, some people were happy and some were worried. 

Emperor Zhengyuan was naturally the one who was happy. Duke Lu was shaking too much. When the Empress Dowager came forward, it gave the Feng family a sense of self-knowledge, and even Councubine Feng stopped by a lot.

When she went to visit Empress Zhengyuan again, Concubine Feng deliberately stepped in and forcibly asked him to move to Yonghe Hall in the name of his children. 

And what made him even more happy was that the evidence about Gu Ye had been collected and delivered to the dragon case. 

His eldest son was finally going to be officially recognized and return to his ancestry.
