Mrs. Liu's family left in disgrace amidst everyone's accusations. The rest of the family, who had been punished, had no shame in staying and left one after another.
This group of people would continue to copy the scriptures after they returned, but they did not dare to be careless this time. They lit up lamps all night long and started copying non-stop.
Some people were still cursing and blaming their wives who were attending the banquet: "It's all your fault for being so close to the Liu family. Look what the Liu family has done."
The wife who was complained about was so angry that she had no place to vent her anger, so she could only apologize aggrievedly, unable to hold her head up after being scolded.
"Today the Liu family has been humiliated. Didn't you see the way the emperor looked at the Liu family today? He wanted to kill them all. The future of the Liu family will end here. You are not allowed to have anything to do with the Liu family anymore.
.”
The madam nodded repeatedly, and did not dare to tell her husband that Madam Liu sent a secret letter last night, which also contained several banknotes.
She was confused for a moment and accepted it.
In the letter, Mrs. Liu asked her to continue spreading rumors, accusing the eldest princess Junjin of being arrogant and arrogant and not worthy of being a queen at all.
The lady was glad that she had not had time to implement it, so she secretly asked someone to send all the banknotes and letters back to the Liu family.
There were several other ladies who also wrote letters at the same time. They all asked people to send the letters back in the middle of the night, hoping that they would not have any relationship with the Liu family.
Mrs. Liu looked at the letter in front of her, her eyelids twitched violently, and she tore up all the letters with a tense face.
"A bunch of cowards. They usually fawn over me. They are willing to say anything flattering and are willing to act like cows and horses. Now when they see the Liu family being demoted, they can't wait to cut off the relationship. Damn it!"
Without anyone to help her, it meant that she would have to swallow the grievances she suffered from Princess Junjin.
Madam Liu suddenly remembered someone, turned to her maid and asked, "Can the county master send someone to deliver the letter?"
The maid thought for a moment and shook her head.
After hearing this, Mrs. Liu smiled and asked someone to prepare a carriage to go to Jinghua Mansion overnight. The carriage stopped at the back door of Jinghua Mansion and waited for half an hour before being invited in.
Seeing this, Mrs. Liu Jinghua couldn't help but frowned: "Why are you here so late?"
"County Master, is there room for change after the Liu family has been demoted?" Mrs. Liu was very anxious. Uncle Chang Xiao hadn't woken up yet. If the mother-in-law came back and learned that the Duke's mansion had been demoted, would there be an uproar?
Jinghua squinted at Mrs. Liu and remained silent.
The Liu family was not the only one who was demoted, her own identity had not yet been restored.
"County Master, I listened to your persuasion and sent the invitation to the eldest princess Junjin. What was supposed to be a good banquet ended up like this, and even caused the Duke's palace to lose its title. Alas!
"Mrs. Liu's intestines are now green with regret.
She originally followed Jinghua's advice and asked her daughter to get along well with the eldest princess Junjin, but she didn't expect that the two of them started to fight each other as soon as they entered the house.
"Are you blaming me?" Jinghua raised his eyebrows, his tone hinting of displeasure.
Mrs. Liu hurriedly said she didn’t dare.
"With Junjin's status as a noble concubine at the very least, there is no harm in you wooing her in advance. Is it wrong for me to match you?" Jinghua snorted. She has been angry these days. She originally wanted to win over Junjin and
Liu family, it turned out to be self-defeating.
She still doesn't know what Chu Xuazhi thinks of her.
"It's useless to blame anyone now. This eldest princess Junjin is not a good person. What will we do in the future?" Mrs. Liu said worriedly.
Jinghua pursed her lips tightly. Her original intention was to make Junjin the queen and control her. But since Junjin came, she found that Junjin was very independent and didn't take her into consideration at all, so she
He deliberately plotted with Mrs. Liu to ruin Junjin's reputation and not allow her to become a noble concubine.
Perhaps when Junjin is alone one day, she will listen to her own words.
But who would have thought that Junjin would fall into the emperor's eyes by mistake, ruin her own plan, and severely damage Miss Liu's reputation.
After this incident, it was more difficult for Miss Liu to enter the palace than to reach heaven.
"Junjin has a straight temper and needs training. Besides, I think the emperor may not be interested in establishing a queen, so there is no rush yet."
Jinghua didn't dare to act rashly for a while. Her several requests to see Chu Xuanzhi were rejected.
In a few days it would be the death anniversary of Concubine Wan, so she could only see if she could have a chance to turn things around.
"As for the scriptures, go back and hurry up before others catch you." Jinghua advised.
