Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Chapter 755 It's hard for an upright official to decide on housework

In Zhang's familiar bedroom, Fu's family lived here when they came here. The difference is that many years ago, the windows were pasted with red paper, which was cut into happy characters, and red candles were lit in the room.

At this time, Fu Zhaoxu sat on the chair in front of the window and told Zhang Shi about King Wei's decision.

"Bang!" The teacup fell to the ground and shattered into pieces, Zhang looked at Fu Zhaoxu in shock, "Your husband is going to divorce me with one word?"

Zhao Xu said: "Your dowry can be taken away, and the dowry family doesn't want it either."

Zhang's expression was excited, she shook her head and said: "Could it be that we have been husband and wife for many years without even a little kindness, but we have to weigh these money and things, so what is the difference between me and an object?"

Zhao Xu sighed, and said in silence for a moment: "To the Fu family, that little affair is really irrelevant. It's different."

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhang was struck by lightning, and stood there like a log. After a while, he said in a daze: "I'm a piece of the Fu family? Husband, have you ever thought about how I can survive?"

Fu Zhaoxu stood up and said, "Get ready."

"Wait..." Mrs. Zhang stood up suddenly, lost her footing, and fell to the ground with a thump.

Fu Zhaoxu stood still and turned his head, but didn't go to help her, and asked: "What else do you need?"

Zhang burst into tears, "In your hearts, is there anything more important than family background?"

Fu Zhaoxu shook his head slightly, pondered for a moment and said: "Of course, the country."

Zhang sometimes cried bitterly and sometimes laughed. The sun outside the window was dazzling, but in her eyes, the world seemed to be filled with miserable rain and wind. In the early summer, the courtyard is green and the pavilions are colorful, but in her eyes, this rich and beautiful place is like a dead thing without a soul, full of cruelty.

She calmed down in the end, and went out to rush to Mrs. Fu's place.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked into a moon cave gate, he met Cao Tai, an eunuch with a stick. With a smile on his face, Cao Tai looked Zhang up and down: "Madam came to intercede?"

Mrs. Zhang felt annoyed and ashamed when she heard the sarcastic remarks.

Cao Tai looked at the sky and sighed, "Abandoned wives... are more embarrassing than widows."

"You..." Mrs. Zhang was furious.

However, Cao Tai said earnestly: "Mistress, the miscellaneous family advises you to accept your fate, don't beg, come to your door to beg for humiliation, why do you want to humiliate yourself?"

"You slave, you are worse than a dog, it's your turn to talk?" Mrs. Zhang was furious.

Cao Tai didn't seem to be angry, but just sneered: "The eldest lady is a noble person, and it's not your turn to speak in front of you, but today you asked for it yourself. Who can blame you? If the miscellaneous family were you, I'm afraid I'd be ashamed, because I was dismissed and returned to my mother's family because I'm not good, and my mother's family may feel that I have invited the Buddha back!"

This servant is so mean that she even used what Mrs. Zhang said to humiliate herself!

Cao Tai said again in a low voice: "White silk, poisoned wine, or throwing into a well are all fine. Once you die for nothing, you will suffer if you live."

Mrs. Zhang pointed at Cao Tai's nose, her fingers trembling: "Get lost!"

"Hey, the eldest lady is still in charge of the Fu family, saying that it's the same? The miscellaneous family is serving the eldest lady, why don't you report back for you, the mistress of the Fu family wants us to go!" Cao Tai said.

Mrs. Zhang suddenly felt that begging the eldest lady was useless, so she turned around and left. Cao Tai's voice from behind screamed again: "I don't know who is going to get out of the Fu family..."

After much deliberation, Mrs. Zhang went outside the emperor's palace to see Fu Ermei, but she couldn't go in directly, even though this place was in the outer courtyard of Fu's family. You can only report your identity first, explain your purpose, and let the attendants go in to report.

The guards couldn't enter the house, so they told the eunuch Wang Zhong first.

Wang Zhong went in to see the queen, and reported to his elder sister-in-law to see him and say hello. After hearing this, Second Sister Fu said without any hesitation: "Quickly ask Da Furen to come in and talk."

"Your maidservant is going to deliver Yi's decree." Wang Zhong bowed, he paused slightly, then lowered his head and said, "Empress, my maidservant is talkative, you don't have to go to the Three Treasure Hall if you have nothing to do, you don't necessarily care about everything."

Second Sister Fu frowned at him.

After a while, Mrs. Zhang was brought in, and Wang Zhongshi stood by the wall. Fu Ermei didn't put on airs, and called her sister-in-law affectionately, which made Mrs. Zhang cry immediately.

Seeing this, Second Sister Fu was a little flustered, and hurriedly took out her handkerchief to wipe away tears for Mrs. Zhang: "Why is sister-in-law crying? Did you suffer any grievances?"

Zhang choked up and said, "I'm still the empress's sister-in-law now, I don't know if it will be..."

Fu Ermei hastily comforted her and asked her if she had quarreled with her elder brother. So Mrs. Zhang said that the Fu family blamed her for being unvirtuous and wanted to divorce her.

The second sister felt sad when she heard it, sighed and expressed deep sympathy.

While wiping her tears, Mrs. Zhang watched the second sister's heartbreaking pity, and took the opportunity to say: "The queen begged the official for me, and my husband will definitely listen to the official."

Second Sister Fu said: "It's hard for an upright official to decide on family affairs, but we need His Majesty's imperial decree for the Fu family's affairs. I'm afraid it's inappropriate. I'll see my elder brother in a while, and I'll come forward to persuade you."

Zhang said: "The queen really wants to help me?"

Second Sister Fu said: "Of course it will, the Fu family can't be so ruthless!"

When Wang Zhong heard this, he felt that the queen really didn't know how to play tricks. This matter is not that simple, the empress has made a vow now, and has personally agreed to persuade Fu Zhaoxu, if it doesn't work... Where is the empress's authority? People who know about this, will they value the queen's words in the future?

...The eunuch Cao Tai rushed to the place where the medicine was decocted, and saw Lu Lan and two imperial doctors guarding there, and there were also palace maids and servants of the Fu family.

"Why is Eunuch Cao here?" Lu Lan greeted.

Cao Tai laughed and said, "Miss Lu still remembers this old slave!"

Lu Lan said with a smile on her face: "What did Eunuch Cao say, you took care of me in the palace, how could you forget?"

Cao Taidao: "Ms. Lu has a noble status (the privy envoy's adopted daughter), she is beautiful and generous, and she values ​​love and righteousness. You still remember the little favors from this old slave. She is a good lady that is hard to find in the world."

Lu Lan's face turned red when she heard it, and said with embarrassment: "It's not as good as you said..."

With some nonsense, Cao Tai fooled Lu Lan's question of why he came here just now. People always care about her own affairs the most.

He was there to help with some trivial things, but Lu Lan was not confused. Although he no longer asked Cao Tailai what he was doing, he kept watching carefully... After all, Lu Lan seemed to understand that the matter was very important to the medicine King Wei drank.

After waiting for half an hour, Lu Lan and two imperial doctors were going to take medicine. Cao Tai rushed to fetch the medicine.

As soon as the group saw Fu Yanqing, Fu Yanqing was helped up, and soon took an extra look at Cao Tai. Just a servant girl, is it because Cao Tai can see the emperor directly? Cao Tai felt for a moment that King Wei didn't seem to be stupid.

Lu Lan said: "The king of Wei is fine, but he is old and frail. He needs to recuperate. When the weather is warmer, he should be fine."

Fu Yanqing sighed: "Age is not forgiving, birth, old age, sickness and death are normal, but let the officials personally let the imperial doctor treat the disease, the old minister can't afford it."

An imperial medical officer paid homage: "The king of Wei is the head of the state, and all colleagues respect and care about him."

Seeing Fu Yanqing taking medicine, the imperial doctors cleared away the container and left. Cao Tai stayed behind.

Fu Zhaoxu on the side asked, "Eunuch Cao, do you have something to say?"

Cao Taidao: "Wei Wang Mingjian, is the eldest lady going to be divorced because of the official's wishes?"

The Fu family father and son didn't say a word.

Cao Tai looked stunned, stepped forward and lowered his voice and said: "The eldest lady still has a grudge against the official family? How can anyone in this world hold a grudge against the emperor?"

Fu Zhaoxu frowned.

Cao Tai said again: "The eldest lady returned to the Zhang family alive, and she will definitely hate the Fu family, saying that the Fu family is not good. Wei Wang married the Zhang family for the sake of harmony between the two families. Wouldn't it be counterproductive?"

Fu Zhaoxu asked in a deep voice, "The officials asked you to speak?"

Cao Tai hurriedly said: "No, no. The officials have the whole world in their hearts, and it is enough to have a word about such matters, and they will not interfere any more."

Hearing Fu Zhaoxu's question, he knew that knowing things would not work... After all, he was just a eunuch, and his words were light.

After Cao Tai left, Fu Zhaoxu said in front of the bed: "It's just a eunuch's words, don't pay attention to it. Although Mrs. Zhang is not a virtuous one, his crime is not worthy of death, so we shouldn't be too mean and ungrateful."

Fu Yanqing said: "She is your wife, since Da Lang said so... After all, there is a kindness between husband and wife. Da Lang is a loyal person, and he depends on you as a father."

Zhao Xu said: "Son, on behalf of Jiannei, I would like to thank my father for his kindness."

Fu Yanqing waved his hand and said: "Since the official has opened his mouth, we will respond immediately and honestly. This is enough, there is no need to do anything more."

... Cao Tai went out, still not relieved. Xindao, that blind bitch thinks that she is a noble lady? Miscellaneous people just want to see how expensive a lady can be! If miscellaneous people don't kill you, they don't know what is good or bad!

However, Cao Tai thought hard and still couldn't think of a way, how to throw another stone into the well.

He pondered, once Zhang left the Fu family, he would have no power, power, or status. At that time, there was no support, and it was the most vulnerable time. At that time, send a glass of poisoned wine, and it should be done.

But in whose name is the poisoned wine delivered? Cao Tai didn't dare to pretend, and found out that without the emperor's opinion, he couldn't even deal with an abandoned wife.

He really wanted to vent his anger on Jinzhan's behalf, but if he wanted to risk his own life because of it, it didn't count.

Cao Tai thought for a while, and went into the yard to see Jinzhan. Seeing that Jinzhan is still practicing female red, she is very quiet, her calm and smiling eyebrows seem to have no desires.

Cao Tai stood aside as soon as he entered, not daring to disturb her.

Instead, Jinzhan spoke up: "It was a good beating, and it is reasonable to want revenge."

Cao Tai hurriedly bent down and said: "The servants tell the truth in front of the officials, tell the grievances that the eldest lady has suffered, and the officials will feel... angry."

Jinzhan said without looking back: "Besides putting her to death, showing kindness is the way to go. Grace without grace is not a long-term solution. There is mutual resentment between the two. Now as long as you have to forgive and forgive others, she will be grateful to you."

Cao Tai was surprised and said, "Don't you hate her? She bullies you so much..."

Jinzhan smiled and said, "It's too easy for you to hate. She can't really threaten us. Is it really enough for me to hate?"
