    ¡°It¡¯s okay, my leg is just broken!

    Ask a doctor to help him set his bones. He will not be allowed to leave the house in the future. I will inform the whole government about this later, and you cannot let him out.

    ?? Butler Min, please stay and tell me the specifics of the matter to my wife here. Spread it out and crush it into pieces and explain it carefully. I don¡¯t want to see the head of the house and the housekeepers all being stupid.  "

    Qiao Mu gave another order, sighed with some disappointment, waved his sleeves and left.

    In this capital city, a head of a family may lack money or ambition, but he must not lack political sensitivity, let alone an exquisite mind that can see through the world. Without these two things, it will be difficult to continue the family.  .

    You don¡¯t need to be able to see through people¡¯s hearts or have a clear understanding of world affairs, but you must at least understand what can and cannot be done, what news can be leaked, and what news cannot be leaked. If you don¡¯t have this awareness, any turmoil in the court or  The fight for the right to inherit the throne may lead to a situation of eternal doom. If you have the ability, then find a way to fight for it. If you know that you don't have the ability, then just stay quiet, be a transparent person, and don't show off to the limelight.

    This is the way to live forever.

    After Qiao Mu left, Butler Min dismissed the surrounding waiters, half-crouched, and carefully explained to Wen Qilian and his wife who were lying and squatting about the most serious consequences that this matter might cause, as well as the future in the next few years.  deep influence.

    Wen Qilian and his wife were not stupid, but they didn't think so much for a while. When they heard Butler Min explain the matter in detail, they broke out in a cold sweat, and Wen Qilian even shivered.

    "You are saying that the country is short of money. There are already floods in the south this year. It is very likely that there will be no income, and the tax revenue will be very small. In order to raise enough money for disaster relief, the emperor may think of other ways later.  Our family is in such limelight now, but we might become a target, right?"

    Wen Qilian was in pain all over his body and his brain was really inferior to others. He was just a little nervous at this time, but he didn't understand the deeper situation. However, Xiao was also a noble daughter of a noble family before she got married. She was influenced by her family and had read many books.  , I have seen a lot of things and even read a lot of history books, so I figured it out quickly.

    After thinking about it, I understand that the current situation is difficult.

    The emperor is short of money, and now rumors that their family is rich are beginning to spread in the capital. What will their family do when a natural disaster is determined in the future?  Donating money may make other nobles dissatisfied. If he doesn't donate money, what will the emperor think?

    It¡¯s a dilemma.

    Thinking of this, Mrs. Xiao couldn't help but turned around and glared at Wen Qilian with some annoyance. The news of how much money someone would get in a family division spread out because the concubine got too little and thought it was unfair for his aunt's mother to divide the family property. But they  My mother was kind, and she was given extra preferential treatment when the family property was divided, but she never expected to be stabbed in the back by her own son. No wonder she was so angry just now.

    Wen Qilian no longer dared to speak at this time.

    His mother beat him, and his wife glared at him. Although he couldn't figure out the reason, he didn't dare to ask.

    You can only hold it in.

    ¡°That¡¯s it, now that the matter has come to this, we can only take advantage of the situation. Let¡¯s keep a low profile during this period.

    ¡°Butler Min, could you please hire a doctor?  "

    Although Ms. Xiao figured it out, this matter was beyond her control as a woman, so she could only sigh and help her husband heal his leg first.

    Butler Min naturally retreated.

    Immediately afterwards, the entire Xuanhe Hou Mansion was tightly controlled by Qiao Mu, and no news from within the mansion was allowed to spread. The rest was as usual.

    Then in the afternoon, the bastards who had been distributed in the previous two days began to help refute the rumors one by one, saying that they did not receive 20,000 taels of cash as rumored, but that the total assets totaled about 20,000 taels.  It's because my aunt is kind and gives them far more than 30%, so they can have so many assets.

    Although it failed to completely suppress the rumors that their family had millions of cash in the public treasury, it did have some effect. At least the social circle of the dozen or so bastards refuted the rumor. After a while, it should be possible to get rid of the rumors from those ten bastards.  The social circle of several concubines continued to spread outside, increasing the scope of refuting rumors.

    The transition was smooth for the next few days, and the news was neither good nor bad. It was not until the fifth day that the Marquis of Min beat the Dengwen drum and sued his second brother-in-law. This diverted the attention of the people of the capital and caused an uproar.

    At this time, the Marquis of Min had been brought to the imperial court by the Imperial Army for questioning, while the dignitaries and common people in the capital who were watching the excitement gathered together in several teahouses next to the Dengwen Drum and gossiped one after another.

    Wangchun Tower

    ??The familiar Xun Gui was discussing the matter with a smile.

    "There have been so many things going on recently, so hasn't Ning Jinzhong been a coward in the past? He has been suppressed by his stepmother for more than ten years, and he has been suppressed even after he succeeded to the throne. How come he suddenly dares to resist now?

    ?????????????Has it been hidden in the past?  "

    Prince An Guo said with a chuckle.

    "What you're saying is that even if he finds out his stepmother's fault, it's impossible to sue his stepmother directly. After all, suing his parents requires thirty steps, and the same goes for his stepmother.

    With his body and bones, I'm afraid most of his life would be lost if he were thirty years old. He might even die on the spot, but how dare he. Now, I'm afraid he has finally found out some fatal crime against his second brother-in-law.  Only then did he have the courage to appeal.

    To be honest, I kind of want to visit the old lady of Minhou Mansion and see what her face looks like now. I think it will be very exciting and disturbing, hahahaha!  "

    The Duke of Jin waved his hands and replied with a smile.

    In the seat of Zunxun, they were born to his wife. Not only did they hate their children, they were also unwilling to be a step -living child. Therefore, it was normal for some glory to disaster at this time.

    "I really want to see what you said. How about we go visit Ning Shidu now?"

    The so-called Ning Shidu naturally refers to the second master of the Minhou Mansion, that is, the stepbrother. Even if they want to visit the Minhou Mansion, they cannot visit his wife or old lady, they can only visit the Minhou Mansion.  The male master, Marquis Min, was complaining, so naturally he could only go to his stepbrother.

    Someone made such an initiative, and the remaining princes really became interested. Anyway, they were either from the prince's family or from the prince's family. They really had nothing to fear from watching the excitement, so they all responded immediately and soon went to Minhou together.  The government has gone.

    These top nobles have the courage to watch the excitement without being afraid of big things, but other ordinary nobles and ordinary people do not have the courage to watch the excitement in person, so they just gather around and discuss with each other, exchanging what they know with each other.  So a little bit of information, by the way, sit here and wait to see what the verdict will be in the court?

    After all, this excitement is rare.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
