Chapter 269: Chapter 269
When the attendant saw his master's red face, he felt really sorry for his master. He was the son of the Yun family, a wealthy family in Nanning.
It was only when he was traveling that he encountered danger and was rescued by someone ordered by the second princess who was passing by at the time. In order to repay the kindness of the second princess, he stayed in the second princess's mansion and worked as an aide in these years.
Advise the Second Princess and recruit talents.
However, because his master raised objections when the second princess listened to others and wanted to forcibly proclaim herself emperor without an edict and a royal seal.
The second princess, who was displeased in her heart, was sent here to serve as a supervisor with no real power.
Not only that, but his master also has to follow behind every time to clean up the mess for that brainless dude.
The northern Hebei frontier fortress military camp has been turned into a pot of porridge by Si Ze, and the situation here in the capital is not much better.
The second princess in the palace was unable to issue formal edicts and orders because she did not have an imperial edict or a jade seal.
In every morning court, only those officials promoted by himself are willing to cooperate with him in handling court affairs.
Although other court officials were intimidated by her methods and did not dare to raise any objections, they still seemed to be muddle along in the court every day.
The second princess wanted to replace all these officials, but her reputation in the aloof and aloof literary circle had long been ruined.
There are simply not a few truly knowledgeable and capable literati who are willing to work for her.
Only then did the second princess understand why Yun Qianbai objected to her premature ascension to the throne, but it was too late to regret it.
Not to mention how the second princess who forcibly ascended to the throne competed with Emperor Qing'an who was lying on the dragon bed pretending to be dead every day, trying every means to get the jade seal and the edict.
At this time, in the residence of Mo Ziluo, the minister of household affairs of the third rank in the capital, Mo Ziluo looked at his crying wife with cold eyes, his expression was firmer than ever.
Chen, the legitimate daughter of Mo Ziluo's wife and uncle Wenchang's second wife, covered her face with a handkerchief and cried. She glanced at her father-in-law from the corner of her eyes. She was suddenly shocked when she saw that his face was expressionless and his eyes were full of disappointment when he looked at her.
No matter what happened in the past, as long as she cried and Jiaoman said some specious words, although her husband would be unhappy, he would leave with a sullen face in the end, and do whatever he wanted, as long as he acquiesced.
Seeing that Mo Ziluo was unmoved by her crying to death this time, Mrs. Chen secretly gritted her teeth and stamped her feet, wanting to act up.
Mo Ziluo glanced over with a look as cold as frost. Chen's heart trembled, and her whole body felt like it had fallen into an ice cellar. The coldness made her tremble slightly.
"Husband! Why do you have to send your two children back to your hometown to be raised by your parents-in-law? Is it possible that I, my biological mother and the legitimate daughter of Wenchangbo Mansion, am not as good at raising children as someone from a small place?"
"Ha!" Mo Ziluo laughed angrily at being married to his wife of ten years. He looked at the woman in front of him who had been invited to a banquet by Wenchang Bo Mansion and was tricked into becoming the wife of the Mo family. He also wanted to live a good life with her.
.
Even though he later found out that it was her and his good wife-in-law, he found that he was very successful in his official career, and because he had good looks, he was attracted by the Chen family at that time.
It was only then that he accidentally broke into the women's changing room and saw Mrs. Chen who was changing clothes after a maid poured tea on her because of her dress.
Even though he knew that he was being plotted by the Chen family all these years, considering that he and Chen were already married and pregnant at that time, he never mentioned it in all these years.
Just because he knew that it was impossible for him to fall in love with Mr. Chen, he felt a little guilty in his heart.
But who would have thought that it was his momentary softness that fueled Chen's arrogance and arrogance, which brought the Mo family into a dilemma.
The second princess took advantage of the turmoil to take control of the palace. He had already discussed with Junior Brother Chen Han not to participate in it.
But who would have thought that Wenchangbo Mansion had secretly switched from the camp of the fifth princess to the camp of the second princess.
Later, he frantically took advantage of the fact that he was not paying attention and took his two sons into the Wenchangbo Mansion, just to force him to side with the second princess.
If Chen didn't know anything about what the Wenchang Bo Mansion did, or even said he wasn't involved, I'm afraid no one would believe it.
Mo Ziluo also didn't know why a daughter of the Chen family had to be involved in such a treasonous thing. If she was not good, it would implicate the entire Mo family, and even the nine clans.
As for the Mo family, including her two biological children, what good would this do to her?
Mo Ziluo couldn't figure it out and didn't want to waste any more time thinking.
So his voice was cold and could not be questioned, "I have decided this matter. Even if you are their mother, it is not your turn to decide the future of the descendants of the Mohist family!"
"Mo Ziluo, you bastard, I am their biological mother, would I still harm them? Why do you have to do this?
Could it be that everything I have done is not for the good of this family!" Ms. Chen glared and roared.
Mo Ziluo sneered at what she said, "Humph! Watching the child being taken away as a hostage.
Forcing her husband to take sides and participate in the chaotic court situation is for their own good and the good of this family.
Mothers like you are the only ones I have seen in my life who are ignorant and ignorant."
After saying this, Mo Ziluo's face turned dark and he no longer wanted to have such a meaningless argument with Chen, so he threw up his sleeves and left angrily.
"Mo Ziluo, come back, you ruthless person, I have given birth to children for you for so many years, but you have never looked at me.
There is a person hidden in your heart, and others are blind and cannot see it."
Mo Ziluo ignored Chen's hysterical shouting and strode out of the mansion. His entourage in the front yard saw him and wanted to follow, but Mo Ziluo waved his hand to stop him.
Mrs. Chen looked at Mo Ziluo's back as he left without mercy, with cold and resentful hatred in his eyes, and a strange and sarcastic smile suddenly appeared on the corners of his lips.
A strong and sharp voice seemed to be squeezed out from between the teeth, "Mo Ziluo, if you don't tell me, don't I know who the person you are hiding in your heart is."
Mo Ziluo, who was depressed, wanted to find a tavern to numb himself through drinking and relieve his depression.
But looking at the streets that had become depressed since the last turmoil in the capital, he felt sad and fragile and wanted to cry.
They were all imperial officials who passed the imperial examinations from other places and stayed in the capital through hard work or connections. When something really happened, it was difficult to find a safe place or a trusted friend to talk to.
Just when Mo Ziluo was wandering the streets of the capital with no sense of belonging, like a headless fly, a big hand was placed on his shoulder.
Mo Ziluo subconsciously looked back at the owner of that hand, and for a moment he had the urge to cry.
The voice could not hide the difficulty of saying: "Junior Brother Chen! Why are you here?"
"The servant at home went out to buy something and said he saw you on the street~"
