The Legend of the Concubine in the Harem

The closer it got to the Spring Examination, the more tense the atmosphere in the capital became, with varying degrees of chaos taking place everywhere.

General He teaches his son-in-law a lesson.

The female officials from the southwest had conflicts with old-fashioned and pedantic people many times.

For some unknown reason, the family of the princess's consort who lived far away in another place suddenly came to Beijing.

Even in a place where petty officials gathered, there was a family that was constantly making a fuss.

The manifesto posted outside the gates of various academies was actually a copy and modification of an article by a famous writer in later generations by Zeng Fu. After reading it several times, Fu Qingsu slowly identified it. When he got home, he was beaten unilaterally again. However, Zeng Fu knew that he could not turn back no matter what.

He was too lazy to argue with Fu Qingsu, but carefully protected his face when he was beaten. He found an opportunity and successfully escaped from the mansion with the help of Madam Zeng. Originally, he wanted to find Ruan Xiang'e secretly and ask her to help him - Ruan Xiang'e was the one and only female prince of this era, and her brain was easy to fool, and Zeng Fu could show her affection for him with just a casual flirt.

Such a woman made Zeng Fu couldn't help but think of some novels he had read in later generations.

A woman of extraordinary identity, noble status, and who is about to inherit a large family fortune. She is also closely related to him. Although she is already married, the two have never consummated their marriage because she does not like the man at all... Although such a woman cannot be the main wife, she can at least be a great help to the growth of countless male protagonists. She will appreciate the protagonist, contribute money and effort to the protagonist, and be the backer of the still relatively weak protagonist. As soon as the protagonist becomes stronger, she will naturally give everything to the protagonist whom she has long had a good impression of, and change from the originally high-ranking "female sponsor" to the little wife of the protagonist who has counterattacked... one of them.

But unfortunately.

Zeng Fu, who thought he was still at the lowest point in his life and had not been able to recover, was not "received" by Ruan Xiang'e.

He couldn't even open the door of the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion before he was chased away by the impatient doorman with a wooden stick, just like chasing away a fly that came from nowhere.

Zeng Fu, who was driven away, could only look for his "accomplice" Huang Ming, who had been taught a lesson by his grandfather many times. Naturally, old man Huang had no good feelings towards Zeng Fu, the culprit who had gotten his whole family involved. He took Zeng Fu in with the thought that if his family was not doing well, Zeng Fu would not be able to escape either.

However, Old Man Huang had not expected that although his grandson was stupid and arrogant, he was actually very capable of taking actions. He dared to think and act. Just a quarter of an hour after Huang Ming learned that Zeng Fu had come to look for him, he climbed over the wall and jumped into the courtyard where Zeng Fu was staying. He excitedly pulled him and told him that although Old Man Huang did not allow him to go out now, he had contacted another friend who was also determined to expose Lin Qiao's crime of deceiving the emperor - Yao San - through a capable confidant.

"He is General He's son-in-law, and our ideas coincide with each other. We both want to make Lin Qiao look bad in front of everyone and expose his true identity. But he is even more ruthless. He actually wants to strip Lin Qiao's clothes in front of hundreds of candidates, the Jinwu Guards, and the examiners!"

Huang Ming said, and he clicked his tongue twice, then smiled and said: "It is said that this idea was thought up by Yao San's wife. It is true that only women know how to deal with women best. However, no matter how much she schemes, in the end she still has to ask us men to help her deal with another woman. Hehe, brother, don't worry, we will definitely succeed this time, so just wait for your fame and fortune!"

I'm afraid it will be infamous forever...

Zeng Fu suddenly felt a little uneasy, but Huang Ming kept talking about how highly respected General He was, and how much he loved his youngest daughter, Mrs. He. Even though he had quarreled with his daughter to the point of severing their father-daughter relationship, he still had to make plans for his daughter.

Although he felt something was not right, after listening to him talk so much, Zeng Fu couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope in his heart - General He was, after all, a respected veteran. With him taking action, even if they couldn't deal with Queen Xie's party, they should have no problem exposing Lin Qiao.

As long as he could defeat Lin Qiao and step on her to ascend to the throne, and with the support of General He, even if Empress Xie wanted to vent her anger on him in the future, she wouldn't be able to do anything to him for a while.

Think so.

Zeng Fu stayed in Huang's house temporarily.

And the old General He, the person he had always wanted to cling to, was talking to He Da and Chu Liupo and their spouses.

"Your little aunt is confused...it's my fault for not teaching the child well." General He sighed.

He Da and Chu Liupo looked at each other and said hurriedly, "My aunt is just a little straightforward and was led by the Yao guy. After this experience, she will definitely wake up."

"I hope so." General He said indifferently, looking at Chu Liupo, "Old Wife, you should submit a petition to the palace tomorrow and ask to see the Queen Mother. Give this--"

He took out a booklet and said, "This is for your Majesty."

Chu Liupo took the booklet and was very curious about what was inside it, but he suppressed his curiosity and sealed the booklet into an ordinary brocade bag in front of several people.

General He's eyes lingered on the brocade bag in her hand for a while before moving away: "I only hope that I can send it to you now, Your Majesty, it won't be too late... Well, call in your father, mother, uncles, aunts, and uncles. The He family has grown in number, and it really doesn't make sense to keep them all crowded in this mansion. It's time to divide them up..."

Upon hearing this, Chu Liupo was immediately overjoyed.

She followed He Da out of the house with brisk steps, and couldn't help turning her head to look at the backs of the elders who came into the house to discuss the division of the family. Then she turned around again, but saw her husband's face full of sorrow, so she elbowed him angrily and said, "Finally, we can divide the family, aren't you happy?"

He Da scratched his head with a grin: "We are all family, and we are used to living together. I am afraid it will be a lot quieter if we separate."

"Why do you care about whether it's quiet or not at this time? After so many years, don't tell me you still can't see what kind of people the other families are. It's all thanks to grandfather who suppresses them. If it were grandfather... Anyway, I think that no matter you or father-in-law, you can't suppress those people. It's better to make it clear now, so as not to be dragged down by them in the future."

She recalled what Jun Yuexin said to her at the palace banquet and glared at He Da: "If you are reluctant at all, I will take the child back to my parents' home!"

She could bear to part with the other members of the He family, but it seemed that General He was still reluctant to part with He Sangrou...

Chu Liupo dislikes He Sangrou, the aunt who always interferes in her family's affairs and holds the whole family back. Seeing her being dragged into such a big event by Yao San, not only does she not reflect on it at all, but she also wants to drag her mother's family into it!

Thinking of the future of the two children, Chu Liupo's eyes darkened. If General He still couldn't bear to part with his daughter, then she would have no choice but to help him do so!
