I'm reborn, only a fool would spoil you

"...If you dare to insult me ​​like this, you are insulting the current emperor!"

Mother Zhao started shouting loudly.

To insult her is to insult the present emperor?

Hearing this, the wives of the officials were all shocked.

——How confident is Mother Zhao that she dares to tie her own honor and disgrace to the honor and disgrace of the current emperor?

——We all prosper together and we suffer together?

Even the current queen wouldn't dare to say such words easily!

After hearing this, Dieyi looked at the ceiling speechlessly.

I don’t know where this mother Zhao got her confidence from. Not only did she dare to provoke their Southwest Mu Mansion, she also dared to secretly drag the emperor into the muddy water.

Fu Yushu was not angry when she heard this. Instead, she nodded and smiled. She raised her hand to stop the rude guards and signaled them to let Zhao's mother go.

Then he stared at Zhao's mother's eyes and asked with a smile:

"Madam Zhao, from what you said, you have a close relationship with the current emperor. If the emperor knew about this, he would definitely make the decision for you?"

Mother Zhao nodded proudly.

Look, as soon as she mentioned the emperor, Princess Zhenbian immediately became scared!

I immediately didn’t dare to force her to kneel and kowtow anymore!

After regaining her freedom, Zhao's mother stood up from the ground immediately, straightened her waist and abdomen, raised her head and chest, and said proudly:

"Of course, I am your master's wife! If the emperor knew that his master's wife was humiliated like this, I don't know how furious he would be!"

After saying this, Zhao's mother didn't even wait for Fu Yushu to give her a seat, but walked straight to the main seat and sat down - there was only a high table between her and Fu Yushu.

She acted like the Emperor's mistress, able to stand on equal footing with anyone.

Zhao's mother's confidence stunned everyone present.

But Fu Yushu smiled faintly, picked up the teacup from the high table and took a sip to moisten his throat, then continued with a smile:

"Okay, if that's the case, then Madam Zhao, go and beat the drum and file a complaint with the emperor. This princess will be waiting for your good news."

Beat the drum to file a complaint to the emperor?

At this time, Zhao's mother was using her five fingers as a comb to comb out her hair which was messed up by kowtow. Upon hearing this, her fingers paused and the smile on her face faded.

She immediately retorted: "Can you beat the Dengwen drum randomly? Beating the Dengwen drum for such a trivial matter would make people laugh, wouldn't it?"

"Oh? Madam Zhao is not going?" Fu Yushu nodded and continued to smile, "This princess understands. Madam Zhao only dares to use the title of Master's Wife to show off her power and do whatever she wants. In fact, she is timid inside and dares not to see the emperor at all."

Zhao’s mother: ???

How could she bear it when he dared to mock her in person?

Mother Zhao immediately slammed the table, stood up, and shouted:

"Who is afraid to see the emperor? I will go and beat the drum to let the emperor make the decision!"

After saying that, Zhao's mother flicked her handkerchief and walked out of the box angrily.

You know, Emperor Jingde would visit their Zhao Mansion every year to personally burn incense and pay tribute to her deceased husband!

He calls her "Master's Wife" all the time, showing so much respect!

Emperor Jingde ruled the country with filial piety. Mother Zhao was almost 100% sure that once Emperor Jingde learned about what she had experienced today - she was slapped in the face, kicked in the legs, and forced to kneel and kowtow, she would not know how to vent her anger!

Thinking of this, Zhao's mother rushed out of the teahouse in a rage, got on the carriage and headed straight for the palace.

Upon seeing this, Fu Yushu called over two servants and whispered a few words to them. Then the two servants rode away at full speed on their horses.

Afterwards, Fu Yushu took Dieyi's hand and also got on the carriage and headed straight for the palace.

Fu Yushu was eager to beat the drum and file a complaint with the emperor.

Because many people knew about Dieyi's humiliation, it would sooner or later be spread throughout the capital by gossips.

If Dieyi doesn't get his revenge today, his reputation will definitely be damaged, and the Southwest Mu Mansion will also lose face.

As the mistress of the house, I will never allow this to happen!

So, let’s just make a big fuss. If we are going to win, we have to win completely!

~

It is said that when Zhao's mother was leaving in a carriage, Zhao Shuyuan happened to arrive, but the Zhao family's carriage was in a hurry, and before Zhao Shuyuan could pay his respects to his mother, it had already driven out of the alley and disappeared.

Zhao Shuyuan was puzzled. Didn’t his mother make an appointment for him to meet his fiancée? Why did she leave early?

While he was thinking about it, he caught a glimpse of Fu Yushu pulling Dieyi out of the teahouse. As soon as Zhao Shuyuan saw Dieyi, he immediately jumped off his horse and walked forward politely.

He bowed to Fu Yushu and said with a smile: "I have met the princess."

When facing Dieyi, Zhao Shuyuan felt that she was his fiancée, so he addressed her with less courtesy and more intimacy.

He no longer addressed her as "Princess," but shyly called her "Dieyi."

When Dieyi heard this, she got goose bumps all over her body.

He immediately refused with a cold expression: "Master Zhao, we are not familiar with each other, and we don't have much friendship. I advise you not to call me by my name, but to address me as 'Princess'."

Zhao Shuyuan: ???

I was stunned.

What do you mean by not familiar with each other? We don't have much of a relationship?

"Princess, we are already engaged. You are my fiancée and I am your fiancée. How can you say that we have no relationship?" Zhao Shuyuan said with a look of grievance.

Dieyi: ...

Fu Yushu: ...

The two were confused. When did Dieyi and Zhao Shuyuan get engaged?

It happened that County Lady Sheng Miaomiao also heard it. She ran forward with even more difficulty accepting it, grabbed Zhao Shuyuan's arm, and said anxiously:

"Brother Shuyuan, are you confused? I am your engaged fiancée!"

Zhao Shuyuan: ???

He pushed Sheng Miaomiao away with a look of fear.

Then, because physical contact between men and women is not allowed, he took several steps back, trying his best to increase the distance between himself and Sheng Miaomiao.

Then, Zhao Shuyuan said seriously: "County Lady, please don't joke with me. When did I ever get engaged to you? I was clearly engaged to Princess Dieyi."

Fu Yushu was the first to react, thinking there might be some misunderstanding, and immediately stepped forward and asked, "Master Zhao, when did you get engaged to Dieyi? I didn't even know."

Zhao Shuyuan: ???

Immediately confused.

At this time, he had already vaguely guessed a possibility, but he still did not give up and said:

"My mother hired a matchmaker to propose marriage to your family ten days ago. The two families got engaged that day."

Fu Yushu shook his head and said, "Master Zhao, you misunderstood. Dieyi didn't like you, and your mother didn't send a matchmaker to our Mu Mansion to propose marriage."

Zhao Shuyuan was so shocked that he froze.

At this time, County Lady Sheng Miaomiao jumped in front of Zhao Shuyuan again, grabbed his sleeve and said anxiously:

"Brother Shuyuan, the matchmaker came to my house to propose marriage ten days ago, and my mother agreed to our marriage at that time."

"If you don't believe me, you can ask my mother!"

After saying that, Sheng Miaomiao actually rushed over and grabbed her mother, wanting her mother to testify for her.

This proves that ten days ago, the matchmaker really came to my house to propose marriage!

But, how could Princess Lian be in the mood to testify at this moment?

With a mother-in-law like Mrs. Zhao, Princess Lian felt dizzy before her eyes.

When she saw her daughter again, she didn't show any disgust at all and was still focusing all her attention on Zhao Shuyuan. She almost wanted to slap her daughter twice to wake her up!

However, in front of a group of outsiders, Princess Lian finally saved face for her daughter and didn't want to use violence.

But he also refused to come forward to testify.

Although there was no testimony from Princess Lian, Zhao Shuyuan was a successful candidate in two imperial examinations. He had already vaguely guessed that he had been maliciously... deceived by his mother!

In an instant, his mind went blank.

He didn't understand why his mother did this?

Why?

By this point in the play, the wives of officials had already guessed what was going on and began to discuss:

"It seems that after seeing each other that day, Zhao Shuyuan fell in love with Princess Dieyi, but Princess Dieyi didn't like him. Madam Zhao was so angry that she slandered and defamed Princess Dieyi."

"I guess so."

"Oh my god, Madam Zhao is so disgusting. I've been dating her for so many years, but I never knew she was this kind of person!"

"It's just disgusting."

Just when a group of officials' wives were disliking Zhao's mother, County Lady Sheng Miaomiao was still pulling at Princess Lian's sleeve, wanting her to come forward to testify and explain the engagement to Zhao Shuyuan.

Princess Lian was so angry that she was at her wit's end. Finally, she gave in to her daughter's wishes and walked up to Zhao Shuyuan.

But she did not explain the matchmaker, marriage proposal, etc., but said to Zhao Shuyuan:

"Hurry up and go to the palace gate. Your mother is furious and sitting in the carriage. She is going to beat the drum to report the incident!"

"Today's incident was caused by your mother provoking Princess Dieyi first, and she even had the nerve to file a complaint with the emperor. I am so ashamed for your mother!"

Beat the drum to report the news?

Provoke Dieyi?

When Zhao Shuyuan heard this, he was completely stunned.

He asked Princess Lian anxiously, "Please tell me what happened today?"

What happened? There were a lot of dirty words involved, and Princess Lian couldn't say it out loud.

At this time, Mrs. Qin, who was best friends with Zhao's mother, pulled Zhao Shuyuan aside and told her the whole story.

Mrs. Qin also blushed and said some dirty words without hiding anything, such as "She is just an actress, I don't know how many men have played with her."

Zhao Shuyuan: ???

When he learned what good things his mother had done, he finally understood why Dieyi was so cold and merciless to him just now.

However, at this moment, he had more important things to do and had no time to comfort Dieyi.

Zhao Shuyuan looked at Dieyi deeply with eyes full of guilt, then jumped on his horse and hurried after his mother's carriage.

But he was too late. When he arrived at the palace gate, his mother was already holding a drumstick and beating the drum "dong dong dong"!

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I was humiliated today... I was bullied by the Princess Zhenbian and that actor..."

"We, an orphan and a widow, are being bullied by the princess of Zhenbian..."

"Princess Zhenbian had the guards beat me up just to support an actor... Look, my forehead is swollen..."

"Your Majesty, please make the decision for Master's wife!"

Zhao's mother's hair was disheveled and her forehead was bloody. She cried at the top of her lungs and beat the drum furiously.

This scene soon attracted a crowd of onlookers, and the entire alley was packed with people.

The crowd was talking about this:

"Actor? Which actor dares to bully the emperor's master's wife? Are you courting death?"

"This Madam Zhao has been widowed for fifteen years, right? It's not easy for her to raise her eldest son all alone. I didn't expect that Princess Zhenbian would cause trouble for her just for an actor?"

The common people sympathized with Zhao's mother, and public opinion was very unfriendly to Princess Zhenbian.

At this moment, the Mu Mansion's carriage arrived and Fu Yushu pulled Dieyi off.

As Dieyi appeared, she caused an immediate sensation among the crowd.

"Dieyi, this is the famous opera star Dieyi. I saw her perform in the theater in the eastern suburbs last year!"

"The actor that Madam Zhao mentioned couldn't be Dieyi, right?"

"It looks like it is."

"I used to like Dieyi very much. What did she do to anger Madam Zhao?"

"Mrs. Dieyi is a very good person. He can't be as bad as Mrs. Zhao said. Maybe there is some misunderstanding?"

Fu Yushu seemed to be oblivious to these voices.

The guards cleared the way, and Fu Yushuo, leading Dieyi, walked through the crowded crowd and came straight to the Dengwen Drum.

Fu Yushu placed her hands on her waist, controlling the princess's aura just right, neither too fierce nor too weak and easy to bully.

She turned to Madam Zhao and raised her voice to ask, "Madam Zhao, you keep calling my sister an actress. What does this mean?"

"At the feet of the emperor, in front of the drum, you dare to be so contemptuous of the princess of the dynasty. Do you still have the law in your eyes?"

"Today, if you don't give me an explanation from the Southwest Mu Mansion, I will beat the drum and ask the emperor to come out and judge in person."

After saying that, Fu Yushuo snatched the drumstick from Zhao's mother's hand and also struck the Dengwen drum "dong dong dong"!

Instantly, the onlookers were in an uproar.

"This is really lively. Two people are beating the drum in one day?"

"According to Princess Zhenbian, the actress that Madam Zhao mentioned is actually the princess of the Southwest Mu Mansion?"

"What kind of actor? She is the princess of the Southwest Mu Mansion, the sister of the Border Guard King who just returned home."

"Yes, I heard last year that Lady Dieyi was a princess from the Mu Mansion in the southwest who was living abroad."

"If that's the case, Madam Zhao is going too far. How can you keep calling a princess an actress? Even if Dieyi isn't a princess, you can't call her that... It's too disrespectful!"

"that is!"

"Maybe they rely on the fact that their ancestors produced ten imperial tutors, and they claim to be from a family of scholars, so they think they are noble and noble, and they look down on opera singers... they look down on people with their dog eyes!"

At this time, many servants were scattered among the crowd, interrupting and saying:

"You may not know this, but Madam Zhao's son likes Princess Dieyi, but the princess didn't like him. Madam Zhao got angry and slandered Princess Dieyi."

"She keeps calling me an actress and even says that I am not even qualified to be her son's concubine... She is such a vicious person!"

Although this is not true, the truth is too complicated to be explained in a few words. So when Gao Ni chose to build momentum, it adopted this simple statement.

This is a big deal!

Dieyi was already a popular opera master with a good mass base. He instantly sparked public opinion and aroused public outrage!

One pass ten, ten pass a hundred.

The common people no longer sympathized with Zhao's mother, and began to overwhelmingly support Princess Zhenbian and Princess Dieyi, fiercely criticizing and mocking Zhao's mother.

It caused a storm of public opinion!
