Such a big thing could not be concealed at all. In just half a day, it caused an uproar inside and outside the palace.

Yan Yu knew that the Empress Dowager would not let it go, but no matter how serious she thought it was, Empress Dowager Zheng was just venting her anger on Miss Ma. She beat, scolded and tortured her in private in her own palace, leaving Miss Ma speechless. She did not expect that Empress Dowager Zheng would directly ruin her reputation.

Princess Xianyi blew on the hot tea in her hand, shook her head and said: "You will know after dealing with them for a long time. If you don't do what they want, you will end up with a life worse than death."

Perhaps she was thinking of her late husband, Princess Xianyi's expression suddenly became lonely.

But life and death are determined by fate, and she knows it very well in her heart. No matter how lonely she is, those who can't come back will never come back, and it is enough for her to live well.

Yan Yu's face turned pale, and he felt more and more that it might not be a good thing for him to show his talent first.

The most she wanted was verbal humiliation and corporal punishment, but a knife was already clearly drawn over there.

The fighting in the capital was much worse than what she had seen in the Shao Mansion, and could completely destroy a person.

"However, it is probably not the Queen Mother who slandered the young lady of the Ma family as a fickle woman and had already lost her virginity. She would not be so ruthless." Princess Xianyi thought for a moment and said, "The Queen Mother only wanted to teach the Ma family a lesson, let them see how powerful they are, and let the young lady of the Ma family marry the Seventh Prince as a concubine."

The seventh prince Xiao Qirui is the son of Concubine Luo. Concubine Luo has been currying favor with the empress and the queen mother over the years and relying on these two people for a living. The seventh prince has had a good relationship with the fifth prince since childhood.

Miss Ma lost her virginity to the Seventh Prince before marriage, so she could never be his principal wife. She could only be his concubine, and her marriage with her cousin had to be called off.

The Ma family married the Seventh Prince, and from then on had to be taken by the Seventh Prince to board the Fifth Prince's ship.

In this way, the Queen Mother's goal was achieved.

But it was not the first time that Miss Ma had done this to the Seventh Prince. Once the incident of not having her period came to light, she was labeled as a fickle woman. She could no longer become the Seventh Prince's concubine, and it was even a question of whether she could survive.

Logically speaking, such a private matter should only be known by the maids who were in front of the Queen Mother that day. But someone deliberately spread rumors to discredit Miss Ma, and it was difficult for either party to prove it.

Who else could do such a vicious and stupid thing...Princess Xianyi sneered, who else could it be?

In Shoukang Palace.

Queen Zheng knelt on the ground, pursed her lips and said nothing.

Queen Mother Zheng was so angry that she poked her back with her cane: "What do you think? What on earth do you think? Has your brain been eaten by a dog?"

Queen Zheng was silent for a long while before she spoke: "You let the Seventh Prince defile Miss Ma. If you didn't say that Miss Ma had already lost her virginity, others would think that the Seventh Prince forced Miss Ma. If you pity Miss Ma, wouldn't the Seventh Prince's reputation be ruined?"

"Fool!" Queen Mother Zheng was so disappointed. "When women in the world encounter this kind of thing, whether they are willing or forced, most people still laugh at them for losing their innocence. How many people scold men?"

Queen Zheng stiffened her neck and said nothing.

"But you," Queen Mother Zheng poked her with her cane again, "The Seventh Prince is not your own, so when did you start to care about him? You are stupid and annoying, so are you going to ruin all the smart and likable girls in the world?"

Queen Zheng rolled her eyes, closed them again, and knelt there motionless like a clock.

Queen Mother Zheng was so angry that she fell backwards and almost fainted.

It's a mess! It's really a mess! How could their Zheng family produce such a descendant! Even if she was promoted to the position of queen, she didn't look like a queen at all.

Queen Mother Zheng only wanted to teach the Ma family a lesson and let Miss Ma taste the consequences of offending her, but in the end she had to win them over, otherwise the one who offended Miss Ma would not be the Seventh Prince, but just any guard.

Now, Queen Zheng was smart enough to add drama on her own and completely forced the Ma family to the opposite side of the Zheng family.

Queen Mother Zheng knew that Miss Ma would definitely not survive.

as predicted.

Ma Xiao and Madam Ma finally realized that Queen Mother Zheng was still angry and was seeking revenge against their family.

But Mrs. Ma could never have imagined that this old lady, who had been so kind as to hold her daughter's hand, touch her daughter's face, and praise her daughter's beauty with a smile yesterday morning, would come up with such a vicious thing in the evening to ruin her daughter's life.

Their family has raised their daughter in luxury for so many years, and General Ma has risked his life to earn military merit, all for the sake of making his children more glorious and able to hold their heads up high in front of others in the future.

But from now on, the apple of their family's eye will probably never be able to hold her head up again.

Ma Xiao and Madam Ma concealed the matter from Miss Ma and did not tell her. They only said that Miss Ma drank too much and slept in the Empress Dowager's room yesterday, which angered the Empress Dowager, who sent her back.

This matter must be concealed. At worst, the family can just support her for life. A general's mansion can afford to support a young lady.

Anyway, they are not a pedantic civil servant family, so they don’t think that so-called reputation and etiquette are more important than the lives of their own daughters and sisters.

Wait for a few months when no one outside is talking about it anymore, then give Miss Ma hints little by little so that she can slowly accept it.

No matter what happens, we have to live well, right?

Madam Ma was in pain and regret, and she wished she could do it all over again. If she hadn't understood the hint from the Princess Qin, it would have been fine, but she did, and she insisted on having her own way.

He didn't want to offend the Queen Mother, but she ended up holding his life in her hands.

Ma Xiao quickly wrote a letter asking his father to come back.

This kind of romantic affair spreads faster than anything else. If I don't write a letter, I'm afraid General Ma will find out from someone else.

Miss Ma was indeed smart. She realized that this matter was unusual. In addition, she was feeling a little uncomfortable and was aching slightly.

Since her brother and mother refused to tell her, she secretly instructed the most honest girl in her yard to find out what had happened.

The little girl was only seven or eight years old. She usually listened to Miss Ma the most. She secretly went out to inquire around and came back to tell her everything.

Miss Ma's face became paler and paler, until she was as white as the clothes worn by a person in mourning.

In the evening, Ma Xiao's wife went to see Miss Ma. She had always had a close relationship with this young girl and wanted to comfort her and not let her think too much and eat something in the evening.

The maid said that the young lady wanted to have a good sleep, so she asked for a pot of rice wine in the afternoon, and now she is still sleeping and hasn't woken up.

The young lady lit the light in the dim room, and when she came to the girl, she touched her forehead and found that she was completely cold.

There were some small pieces of gold scattered around Miss Ma's bed, shining brightly in the dim light.
