While Zhao Huan and Zhu Bocai had a "very happy conversation", the atmosphere in the front hall was completely opposite.
Although Zhu Lian was sitting in the upper position, the Zhu family members present did not take her seriously at all.
Almost all the clan members gathered around Zhu Peng, and even the housekeeper looked up to Zhu Peng, as if Zhu Peng was the future master of the Zhu family.
"Oh, young master, don't worry. Although I am old, I am still a veteran of three dynasties. No matter what Zhao Huan says, there is no way he can shake my position."
"Besides, Zhao Huan actually dared to beat the young master in front of everyone. The relationship between the Zhu family and Prince Ding's palace has been forged."
"Even if the master is willing to give in, the huge Zhu family will never give in!"
"You are the future of the Zhu family."
Facing the butler's comfort, Zhu Peng snorted coldly.
"When have I ever been worried?"
"Hmph, what nonsense are you talking about behind closed doors? To be honest, aren't you shamelessly clinging to my Zhu family?"
"So what if Zhao Huan is the prince? Without the support of the Zhu family, he would never have a chance to gain a foothold in Bianjing."
Speaking of this, Zhu Peng glanced at Zhu Lian and sneered in a strange way.
"What are you doing, Your Highness, the princess? Is it possible that I have to send someone to throw you out before I give up?"
"Don't wait any longer! Even if you wait until the end, you will still get out of here in despair."
Facing Zhu Peng's ridicule, Zhu Lian was indifferent on the surface, but his heart was bleeding.
I think back in the Zhu family, Zhu Lian and Zhu Peng had a very close relationship. Although they were aunt-nephew, they were more like brother and sister.
To this day, Zhu Lian can't forget the scene when she ran around the yard with Zhu Peng.
We haven't seen each other for just a few years, but things have already changed to this point...
How can Liang Bo explain clearly?
Zhu Peng knew Zhu Lian's character so well that even if she was heartbroken, she would not show it at all.
The humiliation directed at Zhu Lian was like a fist hitting cotton, and it was difficult to get a substantive response.
But when he thought about being slapped in the mouth just now, Zhu Peng felt extremely resentful.
He must vent his anger, otherwise wouldn't the Zhu family be looked down upon?
Zhu Peng glanced at Zheng Qingyun who was standing next to him.
"There are ungrateful white-eyed wolves above, and there are cheap maids from Jiaofangsi below. Anyone who can marry into Prince Ding's palace is not a good man!"
"Zhao Huan's vision is also extremely admirable. He specializes in picking out such despicable women!"
A humble maid from Jiaofangsi...
Killing people and killing people's hearts. These words were very destructive to Zheng Qingyun.
Although she did not come from a well-known family, she was from an innocent family. Being sold into the Jiaofang Division was a stain on her life.
Zheng Qingyun couldn't help but clenched his fists, his face turned white and his eyes were faintly red.
But in the face of Zhu Peng's humiliation, Zheng Qingyun did not say a word of defense.
Zhu Lian on the side saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart.
Zheng Qingyun, this girl, is unwilling to come forward no matter how much she is wronged. Only when Zhao Huan and Zhu Lian are humiliated will this gentle girl stand up bravely.
Zhu Lian knew that Zheng Qingyun was a very typical Xiaojiabiyu who thought about his family in everything.
In other words, Zheng Qingyun was willing to rank his honor and disgrace behind Zhao Huan and Zhu Lian.
How could Zhu Lian let her suffer such injustice? He immediately looked at the aggressive Zhu Peng.
"Although I do not want to break up with you because of my aunt-nephew relationship, you have humiliated me and my concubine over and over again. If I don't take action to stop you, where will the majesty of the palace be?"
Facing Zhu Lian's scolding, Zhu Peng not only showed no fear at all, but instead laughed arrogantly.
"Hahaha, what an aunt-nephew relationship. Your Highness, the princess, still remembers that her surname is Zhu?"
"I advise you not to put too much pressure on yourself, you are not a good person either."
"As the daughter of the Zhu family, you actually helped Zhao Huan, suppressed the Zhu family members, and messed up my Zhu family's plan. Do you deserve the surname Zhu? What a big joke!"
After not seeing each other for so many years, Zhu Peng's mouth has become so vicious.
However, in order to protect Zheng Qingyun and to maintain the authority of the palace, Zhu Lian still argued hard.
"I am a married woman, so naturally my husband's family is my top priority!"
"Not to mention me, even the current Queen Xiansu, who has a husband and a wife, will always put Your Majesty before her natal family."
"If I value my mother's family and despise the royal family, wouldn't I be dishonoring the divine grace? It would also be against my wifely ethics!"
"As for the suppression of the Zhu family members, there are reasons and consequences. Everyone in Bianjing knows it, so why do you need to mess around?"
Before Zhu Peng could speak, the surrounding tribesmen and servants were already pointing at Zhu Lian.
They stared, as if they wanted to eat Zhu Lian and Zheng Qingyun before they were satisfied.
"What a righteous person who annihilates relatives! She is indeed a noble princess!"
"Hahaha, it turns out that Her Royal Highness the Princess makes such a clear distinction between public and private affairs. Since the Royal Palace is private and my Zhu family is public, then Princess, please leave the main gate of my Zhu family as soon as possible?"
"What a big joke. When Zhao Huan was suppressing the Zhu family members, all you had to do was mention it, and Zhao Huan would naturally betray you."
"You would rather watch the people of your tribe fall into misery than lend a helping hand. You are simply a scorpion-hearted person!"
"You're right, women's hearts are the most poisonous!"
Even Zhu Lian was unable to withstand the siege from his tribe.
Zhao Huan never directly suppressed the Zhu family members because there were many officials named Zhu in Tong Guan's old party.
These officials were not from Zhu Bocai's lineage, but from Zhu Bocai's cousin Zhu Boping.
Relying on his relationship with the Queen, Zhu Boping naturally prospered in Bianjing and inevitably spread his branches. Four of his five sons became officials in the court.
Two of them, namely Tong Guan's old party, were easily dealt with by Zhao Huan.
It is precisely because of this that the Zhu family has such great resentment towards Prince Ding's Mansion.
At this moment, the spearhead at the scene had begun to point at Zheng Qingyun.
A group of domestic servants have very vicious mouths and specialize in uncovering shortcomings.
"Concubine? That's bullshit! How dare you call yourself a concubine without a wedding?"
"That's right, a mere singing girl from the church actually went to Zhu's house to show off and deceive her."
"Hehehe, Zhao Huan's eyesight is poor and he cannot recognize the loyal, the traitor and the virtuous. It doesn't mean that my Zhu family is also so easy to fool."
"You bastard, why don't you get out of the Zhu family? You have trampled all over the Zhu family's land!"
"Hmph, even from a distance, I can smell that flirtatious smell emanating from her body!"
Ever since Zheng Qingyun followed Zhao Huan, as the saying goes, look at the Buddha without looking at the monk's face. No one dared to humiliate Zheng Qingyun easily, just because there was a fierce tiger lying behind her.
This fierce tiger swallows up powerful thieves at the top and treacherous sycophants at the bottom.
But... the Zhu family spoke harshly to each other without any scruples.
Rather than saying that they relied on the Zhu family's background, it would be better to say that... they knew that Zhu Lian was caught in the middle and Zhao Huan would never kill the Zhu family.
