Chapter 851 Madam, something terrible has happened!
General Zhao's residence.
"Has Zhao Qiang not returned yet?"
Madam Zhao casually sipped her tea, her expression revealing satisfaction. "He did a good job with the task I assigned him this time. Prince Gong and his wife are really dreaming. My son was ruined by their daughter."
"My son's body is barely cold, and they already want to marry Chu Qingli off? How can they be so greedy?"
"Madam, I heard that the Prince Gong's Mansion is planning to arrange a marriage with the Song family. The Song family is currently very powerful and not to be trifled with. If they find out that we are behind this, things will be in trouble."
The old nanny standing nearby was a little worried. In fact, for the past two years, the madam had been holding onto this matter, and even the master had said more than once not to cause any more trouble.
If the master finds out, we'll probably have another big fight.
"So what about the Song family? I know that the Song family has indeed been doing well recently, has made great contributions, and their children are all successful."
"You tell me, that third son of the Song family, he could marry any girl he wanted, why does he have to come here looking for trouble!"
Madam Zhao looked displeased. "I underestimated Chu Qingli. Although she hasn't made any moves in the past two years, she still hasn't forgotten to seduce people in private."
Ultimately, it was the Song family who deliberately provoked the Zhao family. We're all military officers; they're the ones who should be reflecting on their actions!
Seeing that her mistress was still not listening to reason, the nanny could only sigh helplessly. So much time had passed, and the mistress still couldn't get over it.
If this really escalates, it will be very difficult to resolve.
Just as Madam Zhao was calmly watching Zhao Qiang return to report the news, she suddenly heard a servant hurriedly relaying the message.
"Ma'am, it's not good!"
"A large group of people have arrived outside, led by Prince Gong and his wife, along with the Qiu family and Princess Chu. Judging from their demeanor, it seems they've come to demand an explanation!"
"What?" Madam Zhao stood up in astonishment, her eyes filled with disbelief. "How could they be together, and why did they all come here?"
"Madam, please go outside and take a look. There's a huge crowd of people, and all the locals are gathered around watching the spectacle."
The manager rushed over and, seeing the situation outside, sensed something was wrong; things were probably in trouble!
Since the fight between the Princess Consort and the Madam at the banquet, they haven't had a chance to meet again. Today, the Princess Consort's aggressive visit is definitely not a good thing!
Madam Zhao curled her lip. "They think they're so great just because they have a lot of people? I'm going out to see for myself!"
The old woman standing nearby sensed that things weren't so simple and quickly instructed, "Go and tell the general that something has happened in the manor and that he must return."
"Young man, go right here."
As Madam Zhao walked to the gate, she saw Jia Yueying, whom she hadn't seen for a long time. The two were like enemies meeting, their eyes filled with hatred.
"Princess Consort Gong, what are you doing making such a big fuss today?" Madam Zhao spoke first.
Seeing that this woman was as shameless as ever, Jia Yueying was furious and pushed Zhao Qiang out directly!
"Guan Yan, stop pretending you don't know anything. All the servants in your household have confessed that it was you, a woman who can't stand seeing others do well, who deliberately tripped them up behind their backs!"
For the past two years, you have been constantly ruining my daughter's reputation. I was willing to let it go because your son died, but I never expected you to become even more outrageous!
To be honest, you're a vermin from the gutter, vicious and dark-hearted. All you do is hide behind others and secretly watch them. I must have been incredibly unlucky to have ever thought you were a good person!
Once she opened her mouth, Jia Yueying said everything that was on her mind, without holding back at all.
Madam Zhao, Guan Yan, knew that Jia Yueying had come to cause trouble, but she did not expect that this woman's words would be so offensive. The barrage of insults left her momentarily stunned.
"Stop spouting nonsense! I have no idea what you're talking about. You've arrested people from our household and are trying to smear me? You wish!"
When Madam Zhao saw Zhao Qiang, a moment of panic flashed through her mind, but she quickly calmed down.
Zhao Qiang was probably just unlucky to be caught, but as long as he didn't admit it, what could they do?
"I'm smearing you? Everyone in your household has admitted it themselves. It was you who deliberately instigated him to spread rumors and try to ruin my daughter's marriage!"
Jia Yueying's eyes were filled with disgust. "How can you be so shameless at your age?"
"Watch your mouth! How am I shameless? If you ask me, your daughter is destined to bring bad luck to her husbands, and my son was killed because of her!"
You knew perfectly well that your daughter had this fate, yet you still forced her to marry someone else. This is not enough to bring disaster to my family; you want to bring disaster to others as well!
"Let everyone tell me, aren't you the most vicious ones?" Guan Yan raised her voice.
"Shut your filthy mouth! My daughter isn't cursed to bring misfortune to her husbands; it's just that your family isn't blessed enough. Heaven couldn't bear to let my daughter suffer in your household!"
As Jia Yueying spoke, she couldn't help but rush forward. Every time she saw Guan Yan, she had an urge to hit her, because this woman deserved to be beaten!
"Would my son have died if it weren't for your daughter?"
As if provoked, Guan Yan shouted wildly, "My son has been outstanding since he was a child and has made many meritorious contributions on the battlefield. If he hadn't been engaged to you, he would never have had this accident or lost his life!"
It's you! You're the ones who ruined him!
"Madam Zhao, you instigated the servants in your household to deliberately spread rumors, smear my daughter's reputation, and ruin her engagement. Now that the evidence is conclusive, you are still making trouble here. It is simply unreasonable!"
Prince Gong frowned. He knew that Madam Zhao was completely unreasonable, but seeing it with his own eyes, he couldn't help but sigh, "This is just too unreasonable!"
The evidence was laid bare before her, but she ignored it all, clinging only to her own set of theories. When she couldn't win an argument, she would go crazy. No wonder her mistress couldn't help but want to hit her every time she saw her.
Not to mention his own wife, even he was almost unable to hold back.
“What I said is true. Haven’t you been trying to find a husband for your daughter these past two years because you’re afraid she won’t be able to get married?”
"You even set your sights on the illegitimate son of the Qiu family just to marry her off, and now that the Third Son of the Song family is blind and willing to take her, you naturally agree without hesitation!"
Guan Yan was speaking as if she had gone mad when she suddenly felt someone pull her, followed by a sharp pain on her face.
"Snapped!"
"You dare hit me?" Guan Yan thought the person who hit her was Jia Yueying and was about to fight back, but when she saw who it was, her expression froze.
