Chapter 134 The Barefoot Is Not Afraid of Wearing Shoes
"Mrs. Su, how is my daughter? As a mother, I haven't spoken yet. What qualifications do you, an outsider, have to comment?"
The Duke's wife's voice was light.
"On the other hand, Su Shangshu, who has been an official in the court for more than thirty years, finally climbed to the position of Shangshu, which is not easy."
"Now that I'm getting older, there shouldn't be any opportunities for promotion."
"Whether Mrs. Su wants to take this opportunity to build a good relationship with others or show her loyalty, I can't care about it and I don't care."
"It's just that Mrs. Su seems to have forgotten that my husband's family was granted the title of Duke by decree of the late emperor, and it is hereditary."
"Mrs. Su dares to ridicule my daughter in front of me, a first-grade lady. She is really brave."
"What's more, the reconciliation between King Zhao and my daughter is an imperial edict issued by the emperor himself. Is it possible that Mrs. Su has any objections to the emperor's edict?"
As the Duke's wife spoke, her eyes scanned everyone in the room, and finally landed on Mrs. Hu, her tone was cold and solemn.
"Or do you think that the emperor's golden words are just child's play in your eyes?"
What a move to knock the mountain and shake the tiger, frightening everyone in the Zhichun Pavilion and suddenly turned pale.
Mrs. Hu stared at the Duke's wife with a gloomy expression, and her eyes were full of sarcasm, as if she was silently mocking the Duke's wife who would only rely on the emperor's name to oppress others.
Mrs. Hu dares to be so disrespectful, but other ladies and ladies don't have the guts.
Mrs. Su's heart skipped a beat, and then she realized that she was only focused on expressing her loyalty to the Grand Sima's Mansion and using her rhetoric, but had forgotten the identity of the other party, and even more forgotten that the cunning Duke's wife had actually brought the topic to the Emperor.
"Mrs. Duke, I, I actually don't have any ill intentions. It's just that I'm just talking unceremoniously. Please invite Madame Guogong and Miss Luo Er——"
The Duke's wife did not look at her and interrupted coldly:
"No acceptance, no forgiveness, no reconciliation."
These words were really tough, so tough that the other ladies and ladies in the Zhichun Pavilion looked at each other.
There are all smart people present, and no one is so stupid that they can’t understand the situation. If the Grand Sima Mansion relies on the Queen Mother and the Imperial Concubine, then the Duke’s Mansion, which has always remained neutral, may have experienced this -
"Mother, let's go."
Luo Jiuli held her mother's arm and felt comfortable.
This is, a child with a mother is a treasure! As long as she doesn’t make my mother angry, she will walk around the capital from now on.
On the table, Mrs. Hu, who seemed to be staying out of the situation and said nothing, finally picked up the teacup and spoke:
"What the Duke's wife said is absolutely true, and the Emperor speaks eloquently. No one here dares to have the slightest objection to the Emperor's imperial edict."
The real master came on stage, and the Duke's wife and Luo Jiuli also stopped.
Mrs. Hu looked at the mother and daughter with their backs to her, smiled, took a sip of tea, and said:
"What Princess Xiyun and Mrs. Su just said was just to remind the second young lady that the second young lady is a Heli woman after all. It is always inappropriate for a Heli woman to live in her natal family."
"I heard that the eldest and second young masters of the Luo family returned to Beijing a few days ago. The two young masters have also reached the age to discuss marriage. However, among the ladies in the capital, who is willing to marry and raise a divorced child?
Sister-in-law?"
After Mrs. Hu said something, someone in Zhichun Pavilion immediately echoed her in a low voice.
"Yes! It is unknown that this Heli woman lives in her natal family."
"Who says it's not the case? Besides, she also had a miscarriage."
"The eldest young master must be twenty-two this year. I heard that he was in love with the eldest lady of the editor-in-chief Shen's family of the Hanlin Academy, but I don't know how he got it. The eldest lady Shen is seeing someone else recently, which is a bit interesting."
"Tsk tsk! If it were me, I wouldn't want to marry my daughter off! She is a divorced little girl who is living in her parents' house and waiting to die. If she gets married, wouldn't she not only have to serve her husband and parents-in-law, but also take care of her? This sister-in-law eats, drinks, and poops."
Someone lit a fire, someone set off a cannon, and the discussion became louder and louder.
Luo Jiuli listened to these people's criticisms, his face remained as calm as ever, but his heart was in turmoil.
The Duke's wife on the side had a pale face and glanced at her daughter nervously.
"Don't worry, mother."
Luo Jiuli gave her mother a reassuring look.
She knew that her mother was not nervous about these people, but whether she would have random thoughts because of what these people said.
Admittedly, she had heard such words more than once or twice, and they were indeed the most heart-wrenching words, but with her mother in front of her, she could not show any emotion.
So as not to worry the mother.
"Have you all finished speaking? Is it my turn?"
She looked at the people in front of her calmly and without warmth, she smiled sarcastically, and her face quickly became cold and serious.
"How did I, Luo Jiuli, offend you? Do I need to be so malicious when I open my mouth?"
"Princess Xiyun, Mrs. Su, Mrs. Hu, I, Luo Jiuli, and I, Buheli, and whether I can go back to my parents' home or not, are all my own business. It's none of your business. You can just take your time and worry about it."
"Do you think that because you make irresponsible remarks about me in front of others and behind my back, I have to bear your judgment and criticism?"
"Bah! I, Luo Jiuli, had a bad brain and was blind before, but after this incident, my eyesight is clear and my mind is calm, and my mind is not distracted. You all talk about great truths, but in fact, there are hidden needles in every sentence."
"Do you think you are virtuous, dignified and well-informed when you come to this station all dressed in silk and satin and jewels? But in my opinion, how are you any different from those gossipy market shrews? Moreover, they are still uneducated shrews. "
"What's the matter? You don't look very good-looking! Alas! It's me! Since the divorce, my brain has been stimulated up and down, and what I said is not very pleasant. Please forgive me."
Luo Jiuli was full of fire, and he started to argue for a while. In the end, he completely brushed off what he just said.
The ladies and noble ladies shuddered, and their expressions were as ugly as they could be.
No one would have thought that Luo Jiulingming, who was worried about his face just now, would speak so vulgarly now.
Although Mrs. Hu's expression looked calm, her hands under her sleeves tightly clenched the handkerchief, and her eyes were full of anger.
"Luo Jiuli, these people in Zhichun Pavilion today are all reputable ladies in the capital. Ladies, you act and speak so recklessly and create an ugly scene. Are you afraid that you won't be able to put an end to it?"
Luo Jiuli naturally heard the threat in her words, and the corners of his mouth turned up a little:
"Mrs. Hu, I am young and can speak without restraint, but I am a principled person, and I will never be the one who cannot stop the situation. Today's incident is the best example!"
"I am barefoot, am I still afraid of a group of people wearing shoes?"
