"Before he was promoted, my father was a doctor in the Ministry of Rites. My daughter-in-law has heard him talk about many things in the Ministry of Rites."

Fu Guiyun said in detail: "Except for the Ministry of Rites, the three departments of Ceremonials, Sacrifice, and Fine Food have more dealings with the eunuchs in the palace. After all, they are people in front of His Majesty. The clerks of the three departments are often closer to these eunuchs than to the Shangshu and Shilang who are above them."

Ye Zhilan nodded suspiciously: "I have heard of this."

Fu Guiyun smiled faintly: "But mother may not know that behind these low-ranking officials you just mentioned is a person you cannot afford to offend. Even my father was in awe of this person at the beginning."

"Your father has some character in the court. Who among the eunuchs can make him so respectful?"

Ye Zhilan chuckled, feeling a little unbelievable.

"Han Mao, the eunuch in charge of writing in the Imperial Household Department."

Fu Guiyun spoke almost word by word: "Although this man's reputation is not as good as that of the Grand Eunuch Hu An, he also has some weight in front of Your Majesty. If my daughter-in-law remembers correctly, the treasurer of the palace, You Dian, who resigned a few days ago, is his adopted son."

"Youdian?"

Ye Zhilan thought about it roughly, and the man's face immediately emerged in his mind.

"A few days ago he said the palace had summoned him back. I thought the job in the palace was more respectable than the job in the palace, so I just sent someone to inform you and didn't investigate the matter further. Could it be that he is related to the matter in our palace?"

"In terms of respectability, our mansion may not be as good as the palace, but in terms of the benefits behind it, I'm afraid that Eunuch Han himself would want to come to the palace to get a job."

Fu Guiyun smiled and joked, "My daughter-in-law has recently heard Xiao Kuizi mention the people in the mansion, and she has a little understanding of You Dian. He is not outstanding among Han Mao's many adopted sons. If he really returns to the palace and immerses himself in the crowd of people in the harem, I am afraid that he will never be found again."

"In that case, you must have been wronged in the mansion."

Ye Zhilan had already heard some clues.

There has been a saying circulating in the Dakang Dynasty: You can offend anyone but not the eunuchs.

However, she did not punish the corrupt officials in the house. This was a consensus reached between her and her daughter-in-law.

"Could it be that this person heard some bad news and fled for fear of punishment?"

Ye Zhilan looked suspicious: "And he is afraid that the government will investigate and wants to take the initiative?"

"Although my daughter-in-law has entrusted many matters in the palace to Xiao Kuizi, Xiao Kuizi has always been sensible. Without the permission of my daughter-in-law and mother, he would never dare to act on his own and embarrass the people in the palace."

Fu Guiyun was also a little puzzled this time.

In her previous life, she had heard that the palace was impeached. The reason was that her eldest sister had severely punished too many palace officials and caused trouble.

But neither I nor my mother-in-law investigated the corruption in the house.

Moreover, even if people like Cheng Kui and Nanny Jiang cannot be considered her confidants, after all, they have been valued by her mother for many years, so she can trust them and will not make a mistake.

Ye Zhilan pondered silently for a moment and continued to guess: "In this case, I'm afraid it must be Princess Huaiyi who wants to harm us."

"The eldest princess has a rough idea of ​​her daughter-in-law."

Fu Guiyun analyzed for her mother-in-law: "She has always been conceited. Even if she wants to harm someone, she will do it openly, and she never does useless work. If she wants to harm the Liyang Palace, why would she instigate a small character like You Dian? She only needs to temporarily keep the Tengguo Mansion working for her."

"That's true."

Ye Zhilan agreed with this. After ruling out the eldest princess, another person immediately popped up in her mind: "Could it be that Chu'er, this evil creature, provoked You Dian?"

Looking at Fu Guiyun in doubt, she immediately rejected this idea: "That shouldn't be the case. This evil creature has always had Yunling in his heart and eyes. How could he care about the internal affairs of the mansion?"

After saying this, she quickly summoned Cheng Kui and ordered him solemnly, "Go and call all the people in the treasury to come over. I have something to ask you."

Cheng Kui left immediately.

When he was unfilial, all the people were called to Changchun Palace.

"Tell me why you're resigning. You can't hide it from me."

Ye Zhilan questioned aggressively.

At first, everyone looked at each other, and no one dared to say anything.

After Ye Zhilan's repeated questioning, someone finally told the truth: "It was Miss Yunling who beat You Siku with a stick."

"Yun Ling?"

This time, not only Ye Zhilan, but even Fu Guiyun was completely confused: "Why did she punish You Siku for no reason?"

I thought this idiot had turned over a new leaf.

But she didn't come to her own palace to make trouble, but ran to the treasury to make trouble, which was really eye-opening.

"What a rare and extraordinary person he is." The emotions in Ye Zhilan's heart at this moment are simply difficult to describe in words.

Seeing this situation, the people in the treasury only dared to lower their heads and reported timidly: "Ms. Yunling said that Treasurer You embezzled the money of the mansion, so he was punished with a cane."

"Okay, you guys are really tight-lipped."

Ye Zhilan was so angry that his eyes widened: "She is just a lowly maid who beat the official specially sent by the court to my palace, and you all dared to pretend to be deaf and dumb and cover up for her."

The servants in the treasury were so nervous that their hearts were in their throats, but they kept silent and dared not say another word.

Fu Guiyun probably guessed the reason.

I think everyone thought that Yun Ling was someone close to the prince and they didn't dare to provoke her. Even You Dian himself could only suffer in silence and quickly fled from the house.

Seeing that the mother-in-law was angry again, Fu Guiyun had to persuade her first: "Let your daughter-in-law handle this matter, mother, you have to take a good rest."

Ye Zhilan waved her hand and shook her head decisively: "Yun'er, it's not that mother wants to take away your power as the head of the family, but that bitch is getting more and more hateful. Mother must punish this lawless bitch in person today to relieve the hatred in her heart."

Most importantly, she really didn't want the relationship between her son and daughter-in-law, which she had worked so hard to develop, to be ruined because of such an insignificant ugly thing.

I have to bear this sin alone. If my son wants to hate someone, he should hate me.

Fu Guiyun saw that his mother-in-law had already started to kill him, and said, "Mother, you should focus on your own health."

As for Yun Ling, if he really wants to get rid of her, it can only be decided by Lu Linchu himself.

"Yun'er, don't worry, mother can bear it." Seeing her daughter-in-law's concerns, Ye Zhilan forced a faint smile: "Mother knows her limits."

Just at this moment, Lu Linchu rushed back from outside.

Noticing something was wrong in the room, he first glanced at Fu Guiyun, then stepped forward and asked with concern: "Is mother okay?"

Ye Zhilan turned his head away silently, not wanting to pay attention to him.

Lu Linchu looked back at Fu Guiyun again and saw that she had a cold face and seemed to have a prejudice against him.

After thinking for a while, he could only explain to himself: "Just now I heard Madam Kong mention some things that happened in the court. In fact, it did not affect the overall situation. It was just some people with ulterior motives who instigated it wantonly. They thought that if the Duke Teng's Mansion fell, my Liyang Palace would also be slandered by a few rumors."

"Really?" At this moment, Ye Zhilan really felt that she had raised a stupid son. She only told Madam Jiang, "You, personally go and invite Yunling to Changchun Palace for me."

Lu Linchu felt extremely confused and kept looking at the Crown Prince's Consort.

But Fu Guiyun was unwilling to say anything more now.

She had seen stupid people, but she had never seen a woman this stupid.

Not long after, Yunling was brought to Changchun Palace.
