Chapter 27;(1/2)
Punishment (Part 1)
Gao Yanming kicked Gao away.
"Listen to what you said, if it doesn't spread, are you still going to continue to be greedy?"
Gao, who was kicked to the ground, glanced at his elder brother's gloomy face.
If you dare to admit it, shake your head crazily.
"No, brother, I didn't think so. It was my fault. I will never dare to do it again."
"You must save me."
Gao Yanming remained silent.
Of course he wanted to save her. After all, she was his biological sister from the same mother.
But how to save it?
The emperor himself spoke.
etc.
He quickly recalled what the emperor had just said in the imperial study, and suddenly he seemed to have caught something.
Ignoring Mrs. Gao's cry and begging, she walked out quickly.
"Brother. Brother, don't leave. Please save me."
In Bichuan Courtyard, Qiu Yu has already taught Lu Yaoyao everything that happened in the main courtyard.
“What a joy.”
Qiu Yu kept grinning.
This is much more satisfying than trying to snatch things back by herself.
"This is called doing one's own evil and not being able to survive."
"Yes, yes, Miss, you summed it up perfectly."
Qiu Yu nodded repeatedly.
"I wonder how Gao will be dealt with?"
Seeing her gloating and enthusiastic expression, Lu Yaoyao also smiled.
"Although I won't die, I will definitely not be able to escape because I will shed my skin after suffering."
The fact was exactly as she suspected.
The eldest prince personally came to the Xu family with the Queen's instructions.
The content directly caused Gao, who was already panicking, to receive critical damage again.
This is a punishment edict, the general content of which is as follows.
First, the Gao family treated the legitimate daughter of his first wife very harshly. Her moral character was not good, and she was punished by punishing her by copying her virtue and giving her 500 precepts.
Secondly, Mr. Gao acted boldly and greedily for the gifts from the eldest prince, which caused the royal family to disregard the dignity of the royal family and regarded it as his first crime.
He was ordered to go to the palace gate at noon and kneel for two hours for ten days.
The Empress did not give the Gao and Xu families any face this time.
"Your Highness, the eldest prince, I know that I was wrong. I really know that I was wrong."
"My wife is obsessed with it for a moment. You can punish her in any way you want. Please spare my children."
"They are still young, how can you bear to ruin their lives?"
Mrs. Gao kowtowed heavily to the eldest prince.
His eyes were full of regret and anxiety.
Maybe some people don't understand why she asked to spare a pair of children when she was clearly being punished, and even said such serious words as to ruin her life?
In fact, she was not exaggerating at all.
The most important thing for wealthy families, especially the families of civil servants, is reputation.
In the first article, the Empress directly pointed out her shortcomings in Gao's moral character.
These four words were not only directed at her personally, but even the Xu family and the Gao family would be greatly affected.
Among them, the ones who were most affected were her children.
If there is such a queen who orders a mother who has bad moral character, their marriage will be in great trouble in the future.
Mrs. Gao has always been a proud and arrogant person. When I first married Xu Zhao, she had a lot of dissatisfaction in her heart.
It was a pity that she had no way to resist, so after taking over the Xu family, she secretly vowed that she would never let her children follow in her footsteps.
As the saying goes, raise your head to marry your daughter, bow your head to marry your wife.
But she wanted her children to marry into high-ranking families.
Now that this incident has come out, don't even think about being a well-matched person, let alone someone from a high family background.
Even those good people with low family status would probably stay away from her.
After all, if she even dares to covet the eldest prince’s things, who knows if she will eat him till his bones are left?
The eldest prince glanced at the helpless and begging Gao family.
"As a mother, you never think about your children when you do things."
"How can they have the face to ask others to think about them?"
His words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Mr. Gao's heart hard.
The cry and begging stopped suddenly.
Her expression instantly became dull, and the look of regret in her eyes became even worse.
Indeed, when she did the thing of being greedy for gifts, she never thought about the impact of the incident being revealed.
How can you have the nerve to ask others now?
"I have met His Highness the First Prince."
Yan San's voice came from behind.
The eldest prince turned his head and looked, frowning slightly.
"Why are you alone? The emperor didn't come?"
"Your Majesty has an appointment with a friend today."
As he spoke, his eyes shifted to Mr. Gao.
"I heard that Mrs. Xu embezzled the gift my prince gave to Miss Lu. I wonder if this is the case?"
Gao, who had looked dull and regretful just now, heard his question.
An unknown fire arose in my heart.
The eldest prince, she can't afford to offend him.
How dare a mere guard under King Xian come over and question her openly?
Do you really think she is made of clay?
"Who do you think you are, dare to question this lady?"
Yan San raised his eyebrows, and a mocking sneer flashed across his eyes.
"Although I am just a guard, when I come here today, I represent my prince."
The eldest prince next to him frowned when Gao asked.
The King of Jin is not an ordinary family member, he is His Majesty's biological brother and his imperial uncle.
An out-and-out first-class prince.
How dare a woman from the Gao family be so contemptuous? Does she still have imperial power in her eyes?
"Prince? Humph, it's just a..."
"presumptuous!"
Before Gao could finish what he said, he was interrupted by an angry scolding.
From behind the crowd, Gao Yanming walked quickly with a gloomy face.
Just now he suddenly remembered that His Majesty said that as long as his handling could satisfy the eldest prince.
So he immediately wanted to talk to the eldest prince.
Unfortunately, they missed each other. When they learned that he had come to the Xu Mansion with Queen Yizhi, he came back without stopping.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the door, I heard Mr. Gao's domineering and unrestrained words.
I was so angry that I was immediately pissed to death.
