Xue Mei didn't want her fifth brother's marriage to be shabby.

She said to the second wife: "My fifth brother is not at a high level now and is a concubine's son. If Yu Jun marrys him, someone from the Cao family must be gossiping.

We spend more money to make the Cao family have nowhere to speak out and convince them."

The second lady laughed.

In this way, there is no need to compare Xue Huai and Xue Run.

Xue Huai is the legitimate son, and he is younger than Miss Cao San, so he is just right for her.

Xue Run needs to raise his value a little.

The second wife is no longer jealous of Xue Mei's money. The second brother helps the little prince to do business, and is like the second-in-command. The little prince has to rely on him for many things, so he will give him dividends.

The little prince’s business is huge, and the dividends given are tens of thousands of taels of silver a month.

The second house finally has no worries about spending money now.

However, when Xue Mei came this day, the second sister-in-law Zhao looked depressed, and the second wife was not very happy when she saw her.

Seeing that Zhao's face was full of shame, he said hello and went back. Xue Mei didn't quite understand: "Second Aunt, are you and your sister-in-law angry?"

The second lady sighed.

Speaking of which, she was so angry that she was so angry that she had no individuals to say that, and she just talked to Xue Mei.

"You also know that the Zhao family's business is quite big. Over the years, your sister-in-law has not been very involved with the Zhao family. She only goes to her parents to talk about family affection and filial piety, and does not accept any complaints about business.

The Zhao family is in business and can be said to be wise. Your sister-in-law's mother was unhappy a few days ago, so I didn't take it seriously.

A few days later, she told me that she had a distant relative who wanted to go to Beijing to do business and wanted to stay for a few days. I thought, there was a house, so how could a relative not be treated when he came?

But do you know, what kind of relative she is?" The second lady was already very angry when she said this.

Xue Mei was surprised to be warm when listening to her family’s confusion.

She smiled and said, "Second Auntie Don't be as knowledgeable as someone who doesn't know the depth."

"The person who doesn't know the depth is your sister-in-law." The second wife said angrily, "her relative was from the couple. Only the wife took her two daughters to our house, and the man stayed in the inn outside.

I didn't think much about it at the time, and then I saw that the wife actually took her two daughters to your sister-in-law's yard for dinner. I thought not to treat others badly, so I specially sent the food.

When I saw this, I was shocked. The two girls from the relative's family were all graceful and charming, and their behavior was a bit charming. I was very careful.

After looking at it coldly for a few days, I found that I guessed it was good. The relative was not here to stay, but to send someone to your second brother."

Xue Mei: "..."

"I forced you to ask your sister-in-law, and she told the truth. This was her brother's idea. She said she went back to her parents' home, and her mother repeatedly advised her.

It’s not just for herself, but also for her son. It’s not good to have a quarrel with her parents’ family. Your second brother has no one in front of you now, and there is no maid in the room, which is unreasonable.

Since this is the case, it is better to use the person sent by her parents' home. She not only seems virtuous and has constant relationships with her parents' home." The second wife said.

Xue Mei frowned slightly.

"It seems that this is the way for Aunt San to do it," said Xue Mei.

The second wife said angrily: "That's why I'm angry! In recent years, the family has been getting better and better, but she has become less determined. I told Qing'er that we should live a simple life. Your father has no concubine and a family member. You brothers should learn to behave as well.

We have only had a few good days, so we only learned from those families to enjoy beauty, which is not a good omen.

Your second brother didn't care much about this when he heard me. Instead, your second sister-in-law... I scolded her and drove her family away. I won't give her a good face these days."

Xue Mei: "..."

Because it was a housework, Xue Mei couldn't interrupt rashly, but she just heard her second aunt complain.

Second Aunt felt that the ups and downs of officialdom, second uncle may not always have such a good future.

The emperor is in a state of unstable mood now, and his wealth is based on imperial power and the little prince, but he is just a castle in the air.

At this time, harmony between home and home is the most important thing, and there cannot be any turmoil in the family.

No matter how harmonious the wife and concubines are, there are times when there are unhappiness. The second wife does not allow her sons to take concubines.

To put it nicely, taking a concubine is to add children, but in fact, it is to be lustful for men.

Can't a wife have a child?

Zhao didn't understand this, but saw that her family was booming and she had a son again, so she had various thoughts. Of course, her parents' family would be bewitching it.

"...The people who do business are the most polite. The second sister-in-law was not fooled for a while. Seeing that she was the first offender, the second sister-in-law was more tolerant of her." Xue Mei said.

Second Lady: "Don't worry. I want to leave her alone and make her memory grow. The days ahead are still long. If the pain is gone, her family will provoke her again, but I don't know what mistake she has made."

Xue Mei no longer persuaded him.

After the second house was over, Xue Mei returned to the princess's mansion. She expected the emperor to be in trouble for her.

That night, Xiao Jingcheng changed into Yexing's clothes, went to the princess's mansion again, and met Xue Mei in private.

He told Xue Mei about what he had found out, and said that he would make arrangements in the palace.

"...I will guide Your Majesty to make him punish you the most favorable." Xiao Jingcheng said, "I just feel wronged."

"It's okay." Xue Mei said.

On the day of the Zhongyuan Festival, the city became lively again. Xue Mei got up early, washed up and waited for the palace to summon him.

Sure enough, just as the sky was dawn, the eunuch came to the palace and asked Xue Mei to go to the hall to reply.

There is no doubt that her punishment has come.

Jinping looked at her and Xue Mei nodded at her.

As the eunuch arrived at the hall, the morning court had not yet retreated, and all the civil and military officials looked at Xue Mei.

Xue Mei walked forward and saluted the emperor.

"...Flat." The emperor paused for a moment, and he did not let Xue Mei get up until the ministers began to whisper.

Xue Mei thanked her for being grateful, and glanced at the emperor when she stood up, then lowered her eyebrows and stood quietly.

With just one glance, she felt that the emperor was not long. His face was pale, his eyes were listless, and his pupils were a little yellow, which was a sign of lead poisoning.

He doesn't have many days to live.

He glanced at Xue Mei indifferently, and did not speak, but asked the eunuch beside him to speak for him.

The eunuch corrected his expression: "Prince Chengyang Xue Mei, Your Majesty has something to ask you, so please obey the order."

Xue Meigang stood up and knelt down to listen to the order: "Yes, Xue Mei listened to the order."

"Xue Mei, Your Majesty asks you, have you been captured and taken to the Huns, can you cure the Huns?" asked the eunuch.

The hall was silent, and everyone was waiting for Xue Mei's answer.

If she dares to answer "yes", the charge of treason will be immediately added to her; if she dares to say "no", she will not be able to escape the crime of deceiving the monarch.

The courtiers looked at her with different expressions.

Princess Chengyang is arrogant and domineering. She never takes others seriously in the capital, but the emperor supports her. Now the emperor wants her to be beautiful now. Can she still escape?
