Dieyi heard this and shook her head slightly.
"Madam, from what Senior Brother said, it seems that since the princess is getting married, the royal family doesn't interfere much."
"It's a good show. We really have to wait until the general arrives in Beijing before we can see anything interesting."
The three maids nodded, and Dieyi continued, "Young Madam, this is just one of the troubles in the Jin family. I heard that the memorials before His Majesty could no longer be suppressed. At the beginning, they all accused Jin Meng and the governor of Hong'an County of not being good at raising children. Such a shameful thing happened at the funeral ceremony of Prince An, a member of the royal family. It completely disregards the national etiquette and the ethics of the royal family. They should be severely punished."
Song Guanzhou took a sip of hot tea and nodded slightly.
"That's right!"
Pei An told him privately, and the Pei family also said so in their petition. Dieyi widened her eyes, "Madam, this is just the beginning. Later on, the people who report this are not just catching the eldest daughter of the Jin family. It seems that there is corruption in the military affairs of the general, and several illegitimate children are also doing evil in Liyang--"
Oh!
Song Guanzhou perked up when he heard this and sat up straight. "Your Majesty..., how do you react?"
Dieyi shook her head, "These brothers never mentioned it."
Song Guanzhou was silent for a moment, then he looked up and smiled, "Good news."
Pei An mentioned more than once that the emperor disliked Jin Meng, but in the original novel, there were not many confrontations between the emperor and his subject. The emperor died in his prime, and the prince hastily succeeded to the throne, so Jin Meng's rights were not greatly affected.
However, in the later period, the Jin family followed Jin Fuyun's advice and gradually kept a low profile.
In the original book, Jin Meng was a mysterious minister and a pillar of the country. There was no power struggle like what Song Guanzhou felt now.
For example, the reason why Jin Meng was able to rise to the highest position in the government was that he schemed and trampled on his former master Pei Jian to get to the top.
For example, the emperor was not so confident in the Jin family, and Jin Meng even went to the point of repeatedly disobeying his orders.
Ah--
The ups and downs in the court are never just four words; they contain huge waves and earth-shattering thunder.
With tens of thousands of officials in the imperial court, how could it be possible that General Jin would be satisfied with his affairs?
Pei Jian was defeated and retired, but he still retained his title. If we really look at this matter, it may not be because of Jin Meng's ability. Song Guanzhou guessed that it was more of a personal grudge between the emperor and Pei Jian.
If it weren't for her embarrassing identity, Empress Xiao's ice-slashing would have been a legend.
"More and more people are reporting to the court, which proves that the wind in the court is starting to blow. The general has been guarding the border for many years, and he has been a local emperor for a long time. Now, he really wants to come back and be the emperor. I guess General Jin will not be able to adapt."
Dieyi nodded heavily, "Brother, that's what I meant, but I said it in a tactful way. I'm a rough person, so I don't understand. If I ask too many questions, you'll scold me. Let me come back and tell you, Madam, and I'll understand it roughly."
Song Guanzhou smiled and said, "That's roughly what I mean."
Die Wu sighed, "It's just a report, it doesn't mean His Majesty will quarrel and exterminate the clan."
Hey!
The little maidservant suffered a lot this time and almost lost her life. She wanted to kill the Jin family, but the other party was in a high position and powerful, and they were a wealthy and powerful family. Even the Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion had to stay away from them, let alone her, a little servant.
However, swearing verbally is also possible.
After hearing this, Honeysuckle patted Diewu's arm and said, "Hun, don't say these things carelessly in the future. If someone with ulterior motives hears them, it will cause trouble for the lady."
Die Wu stuck out her tongue and muttered, "To be able to raise a daughter like Jin Fuyun, it shows that their family is not a good family. They raised their daughter to fight and kill. Humph! I don't believe that Jin Fuyun became like this because she entered the capital."
"Correct!"
Dieyi clenched her fists and waved them in the air twice. "I've learned from what I've seen and heard so much. I'm afraid he has had this ability to take people's lives at any time since he was a child. That's right!"
At this point, he looked at Song Guanzhou and said, "Madam, did you know that before Jin Fuyun was engaged to Prince Yong, she was a widow. Her previous husband's surname seemed to be... He——"
"Not He!"
Song Guanzhou chuckled, "Yes, He. This girl is destined to be the daughter-in-law of the He family. Her first husband was the eldest son of the He family, a prominent family in Liyang. Later, she was engaged to He Jiang, the Prince of Yong. It's really a long journey, and she can't escape it."
"Humph! She wants to enter the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. She must be dreaming!"
Diewu was more excited, so Dieyi quickly suppressed her, "Young Madam, it's the eldest son of the He family. I heard that his health is not very good, but he won't die young. My senior brother mentioned it. There is a big commotion in Liyang. The He family has been going to Beijing to file a complaint several times."
Ren Dong couldn't hide her surprise when she heard this. "He's eldest son has been gone for a few years, why is there a commotion? Is it related to the Jin family?"
Dieyi snorted, "The He family said that the eldest daughter bribed a maid or a woman to add an extra dose to the young master's medicine. He was getting better, but died within a few days."
"This... this is murder!"
Honeysuckle couldn't hold it back any longer and stuttered. Diewu rolled her eyes and said, "She has been killing people for a long time. Let's not talk about anything else. Just look at the maids who managed her. They changed several times. How could she have a good ending?"
Song Guanzhou was slightly stunned. "One of Panxi and Panlan, who served me before, couldn't stand her harsh criticism and poor treatment and hanged herself. What about the other one?"
Ren Dong replied, "Pan Lan died in the Jin Mansion, but Pan Xi... Hey, Die Wu and Die Yi, when you accompanied Madam to Prince An's Mansion this time, you didn't see that little maid?"
Diewu Dieyi shook her head.
"There are only two maids in blue jackets around the young lady, and there is no one called Panxi."
Song Guanzhou also nodded, "That little maid didn't go this time, I wonder if she's still alive?"
If Pan Xi knew what her old master was talking about, she would have kowtowed to him respectfully. Otherwise, she would not have survived.
After telling the general about the girl's many bad things, how could the general tolerate her...
But Jin Qi showed up.
By chance, Jin Qi descended like a god and saved Pan Xi, who was locked in the woodshed waiting to die.
She knelt down in front of the general and said, "Uncle, I don't know what a heinous thing this girl has done, but human life is at stake and it is an emergency. The He family has been in trouble many times. If this maid has never killed anyone, please have mercy on me and let me be a maid."
Her skin was soft and boneless, as white as porcelain, yet there was a paleness that indicated a lack of blood.
Jin Meng sighed, "Where did you get the letter?"
Jin Qi raised her head and said, "Uncle, I know you are worried about my elder sister, but this maidservant came with us from the capital, and maybe someone is watching her. Don't worry, just stay with me, and she will be a fool."
"It's not a crime punishable by death."
After Jin Meng pondered for a moment, he looked at Jin Qi and asked, "Aren't you always afraid of your elder sister?"
