Chapter 797

As soon as the old lady of the Zhongyonghou Mansion spoke, all the people speaking in the flower hall in the backyard stopped talking, and everyone looked this way.

Before Lu Jiao had time to speak, an old lady next to the old lady of Zhongyonghou's mansion answered the call. Naturally, this old lady Lu Jiao knew, she was the old lady of Zhao Guogong's mansion.

This is the sister-in-law of the Empress Dowager Zhao. The Zhao family not only has a high position and authority, but also has a queen mother in the family, so this old lady has a very important status, and she is a popular old lady wherever she goes.

Originally, the relationship between the Zhao family and the Li family was not good. The Zhao family wanted to have a prince with their own blood, but after the daughter of the Zhao family entered the palace, she only gave birth to Princess Mingzhu, not a prince.

After Li's daughter entered the palace, she gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor.

The Zhao family thought that the Li family was pleasing to the eye, but because the Zhao family was feared by the late emperor, when the late emperor was alive, he was very low-key and vigilant.

Now that the new emperor is on the throne, isn't the Zhao family trembling?

The old lady of the Zhongyonghou Mansion was often torn down by the old lady of the Zhao family, but today the old lady of the Zhongyonghou Mansion found trouble with Lu Jiao.

Mrs. Zhao was happy to watch the excitement, and incidentally stirred up the excitement.

She was so happy when the Li family and the Xie family fought.

"Yes, Mrs. Xie, I'm also curious, have you ever abused the second prince? If you haven't abused the second prince, why would the Chen family say such things? There is no such thing as a storm. There is nothing wrong with it. How could they make it up?"

Many people on the court heard what the old lady of Zhao Guogong's mansion said, and they dared not open their mouths without authorization. After all, this is the eldest sister-in-law of the empress dowager, and the empress dowager has a very good relationship with this elder sister-in-law.

They didn't dare to take Mrs. Zhao's mouth casually.

County Lord Wen'an was not afraid of Mrs. Zhao, and said directly: "The old lady's words are wrong. If Jiaojiao really treats the second prince badly, will the second prince get close to her? And this should be His Majesty's business, others Just don't worry about it."

Lu Jiao looked faintly at Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhao.

To be honest, she knew why Mrs. Li targeted her, not because she was in the way of the First Prince.

"The two wives are also the wives of powerful ministers in my senior week, and they are so old. They should have experienced more salt than I have eaten. Why do you listen to a little rumor and believe it? It's because of the age."

Lu Jiao didn't say a single swear word, but the meaning in her words was not polite, and she was short of saying that the old lady of Zhongyonghou Mansion and the old lady of Zhao Guogong's Mansion were foolish.

Many people on the field gasped when they heard that, and they also admired Lu Jiao's courage. If she just said that the two old men were foolish, wouldn't she be afraid of the two old men's attacks?

Mrs. Zhonghouyong and Mrs. Zhao Guogong immediately turned ugly, and stared at Lu Jiao with unfriendly eyes.

Lu Jiao took a sip of tea in an orderly manner, and then, without waiting for the two old ladies to speak, she said again: "I have done many good deeds and saved many lives from Qinghe County to Ningzhou Prefecture, and then to the capital. I said, the two of you can hear it, I can be nice to others, so why not treat my own child badly and abuse him?"

"Since ancient times, a loving mother has lost many children. As a mother, I love them and should teach them more strictly. I didn't know that I taught my sons to be successful, but in the end they became abused children. I don't believe that the two old ladies did not teach them strictly at home." If I also tell the outside world, what about the two who abused my children and grandchildren?"

Lu Jiao spoke unhurriedly and clearly. Everyone on the field nodded their heads. If they were a little skeptical when they heard the rumors, now that Lu Jiao said it, they all felt that it was impossible for her to abuse the second prince.

Because this person has done a lot of good deeds and saved many lives. Since she can even save ordinary people, why bother to abuse her own children?

After listening to Lu Jiao's words, the old lady Zhongyonghou and the old lady of Zhao Guogong's mansion gradually turned blue when they looked at the people around them who were whispering.

In the end, the two turned their heads to stare at Lu Jiao, and snorted coldly, "Since you are so good, how did the rumor spread?"

"I'm not silver. How could everyone like it? There are always one or two people who don't understand me and make trouble for me. It's not surprising, isn't it? Like the two of you, I didn't offend you, you two Don't you bother me too?"

After Lu Jiao finished speaking, everyone around agreed, and the old lady of Pei Shoufu said, "Mrs. Xie, the old lady of Zhongyonghou's mansion and the old lady of Zhao Guogong's mansion were just curious, and asked a few more questions. How can they be so old?" If you make trouble for a junior like you, wouldn't that be a loss of value?"

Mrs. Pei was Pei Yu's grandmother, seeing the embarrassment of Lu Jiao by the two elders, she really couldn't bear it, so she opened her mouth.

Mrs. Pei seemed to be helping the two elders out of their troubles, but in fact it was a metaphor that the two elders would lose their status and have trouble with their young age.

After Mrs. Pei spoke, County Master Wen'an said, "Yes, Jiaojiao, the old ladies are just joking with you. They are so old, how can they make things difficult for you, a junior, isn't that disrespectful?"

Tian Huan also interjected: "Yes, Mrs. Zhongyonghou and Mrs. Zhao Guogong have high identities, so how can they have trouble with young people like us."

Although every sentence is to help the two old ladies, it is actually squeezing them.

Mrs. Zhongyonghou and Mrs. Zhao Guogong naturally heard it. The faces of the two elders were extremely ugly, but they were not easy to answer. No matter how they answered, it was as if they were deliberately embarrassing Lu Jiao.

Lu Jiao nodded with a satisfied smile: "That's my mistake, the two old ladies forgive me, don't care about me, a narrow-minded and small-minded person."

Mrs. Zhongyonghou and Mrs. Zhao Guogong were too angry to speak.

At this time, the servants of Prince Jin's mansion outside the gate of the flower hall called out: "Prince Ming is here, Princess Mingzhu is here."

In the flower hall, everyone heard the report from outside, and hurriedly got up to greet them.

Although King Ming and Princess Mingzhu were young, they were the princes and princesses of the royal family, so they naturally had to be respectful.

Xiao Wenyu and Xiao Yue walked in from the outside all the way. When the people in the hall saw them, they all respectfully saluted: "I have met King Ming, Princess Mingzhu."

Pearl Princess Xiao Yue saw her grandmother at a glance, and ran over joyfully: "Grandmother."

The old lady of Zhao Guogong's mansion gave Princess Mingzhu a vain glance, and then replied weakly: "Hey."

Princess Mingzhu saw at a glance that the old lady of Zhao Guogong's mansion was not in a good mood, her complexion immediately changed, and she quickly said: "Grandmother, why do you look so ugly? Could it be that someone got mad at you, and said, who gave your grandma a bad look? Angry?"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the flower hall was instantly bad, and everyone fell silent.

Although Princess Mingzhu was only thirteen years old, she was born in the royal family. Not only was she rich and precious, but also because her mother came from Duke Zhao's mansion, no one dared to bully her.

At this time, she saw that the old lady of Zhao Guogong's mansion had a bad face, and immediately became angry.
