Mrs. Han's eyes were full of disbelief.
In front of me, this woman with messy hair and pale cheeks, who seems to have aged in her teens overnight, is really her mother
In Mrs. Han's memory, her mother was majestic and gentle, dignified and generous to the outside world, and virtuous and prudent to the inside. She took care of the Tao family in an orderly manner, from her father to her servants, and no one dared to respect her mother. My mother also lived brightly and beautifully for most of her life, and she was a model that others complimented her wherever she went, whether it was her background, appearance, knowledge, self-cultivation... nothing was bad!
Her hair on the temples is always meticulously combed, and her hair is adorned with beaded tortoiseshells, which is the most eye-catching focus wherever she goes.
Under the guidance and influence of her mother, Mrs. Han unconsciously integrated the other party's style into her bones.
Now, the always perfect mother rushed up to slap her like a shrew in the market, which undoubtedly shattered the perfect image of the other party in Mrs. Han's mind. Because she was too frightened, she did not recover for a while, but raised her hand to cover the swollen half of her face.
"Mother, mother—" Mrs. Han took two steps back and looked at Mrs. Tao sadly, "When did your daughter do such a thing?"
Mrs. Han felt that she had been wronged. Her always arrogant personality seemed vulnerable and helpless in front of her mother.
Mrs. Tao also slapped that slap in anger, and felt a little regretful on the spur of the moment, but how could she apologize to her daughter
In addition, she also believes that Mrs. Han is the one who eats the inside and the outside.
Otherwise, why did the other party not reconcile at other times, but at this sensitive juncture
Mrs. Tao's cheekbones are relatively high, her forehead is slightly narrow, her flesh is not very plump, and her entire face looks a little mean.
She could cover up her flaws with makeup and powder on weekdays, but at this time, Mrs. Tao's face was so grim that she looked unfamiliar.
Hearing Mrs. Han's aggrieved excuse, before Mrs. Tao could speak, her daughter-in-law had something to say.
"Are you saying that your mother has wronged you?"
Mrs. Tao is very capable in the inner house. One of the children of the concubine will live one by one. Although there are children of the concubine, they have to live by her breath.
The daughter-in-law who speaks at this moment is the youngest son's daughter-in-law, and it has been less than half a year since the other party's visit.
She thought that she would be able to help her family's relatives when she entered the government, but she didn't expect her husband's family to be so unsatisfactory.
Not only is the wealth gone, but at this time he has become a prisoner, let alone how angry he is.
She wouldn't blame Tao's lack of greed for occupying the salt business, so she could only target Mrs. Han who was at home with Heli.
Before Mrs. Han came, their sister-in-law pushed all the anger on Mrs. Han with a few words.
If it weren't for this, Mrs. Tao would not have stepped forward as soon as she saw her daughter and slapped her in public.
"I'm innocent." Mrs. Han said, "What does Liu Xi have to do with me?"
"The relationship is unknown." A certain sister-in-law said, "Isn't it because you went back to your mother's house that you brought trouble to your mother's family?"
Mrs. Han was also angry, and she blurted out, "You guys are just arguing, Liu Xi's dealing with Tao Mansion, isn't it because of the salt service?"
Despite being an inner house woman, Mrs. Han is not really ignorant.
She knew why Jiang Pengji dealt with the Tao Mansion, and was it not for the salt affairs occupied by the Tao Mansion and other gentry? However, Jiang Pengji did not dare to tell the real reason, so she used false charges such as "conspiracy to rebel". As everyone knows, Jiang Pengji's charges of cleaning up Tao and others are real. As a woman in the house, Mrs. Han has no way to know what other clansmen are doing.
As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Tao, whose anger had subsided, gave Mrs. Han a loud slap in the face again.
"Naughty girl!" Mrs. Tao gritted her teeth and said, "Sure enough, she ate something inside and out."
Nobles such as the Tao have occupied the salt business for so long that they regarded the industry as privately owned.
Mrs. Han's words undoubtedly pierced the ambition and greed of Tao and other nobles. How could Mrs. Tao not be angry
With two slaps in a row, the corners of Mrs. Han's mouth were slapped with blood, and her cheeks were swollen high, looking very embarrassed.
"Mother... why is this? What did the daughter do wrong?"
Mrs. Han finally couldn't help crying, and the iron smell in her mouth made her feel sick to her stomach.
These people in front of her are all her relatives, and her mother is an elder she relies on and respects. Now she can't recognize the face.
Tao Shi was still not relieved, and shouted angrily, "Go away, Tao Shi does not have an unfilial daughter like you!"
The movement of the female relatives alerted the female soldiers guarding them, who came in to take a look, and immediately reported the matter.
Xie Ze brought people over, and dozens of female relatives in the prison saw the opposite sex, and they were like enemies.
In ancient times, once a woman entered a prison, she basically could not keep her innocence. Many prison guards were wicked and bullied female prisoners.
However, this time, the guards guarding them were temporarily played by female soldiers, which brought a sense of security to everyone.
At this time, I saw a bunch of men again, and my relaxed nerves instantly tightened.
Xie Ze brought people over, looked around and found Mrs. Han who was described as embarrassed, and felt embarrassed.
"Come on, open the door."
Xie Ze said to Mrs. Han, "Fang is the last to think carefully, let Mrs. be in the same room with these troublesome people, and ask Mrs. to forgive."
I thought that Mrs. Han was a daughter of the Tao family. It should be fine if they were thrown together. Who knew that she would be beaten as soon as she came up.
Even if Mrs. Han and Han Yu are separated, no one can afford her face.
Mrs. Han stared at Xie Ze, out of the corner of the eye glanced at the other female relatives in the prison, and then saw her mother's gnashing expression, she raised her hand to cover her face, and ran out whimpering. Xie Ze looked embarrassed and sent someone to arrange a clean single cell for Mrs. Han.
Xie Ze asked Mrs. Han, "After this matter, will you escort Mrs. back?"
Mrs. Han said, "In such a situation now, it's a joke to go back?"
Xie Ze said, "Although Mrs. has no relationship with her husband, she is still the biological mother of the two young gentlemen."
After he finished speaking, Mrs. Han cried even more sadly, as if she wanted to vent all the grievances she had suffered these days.
In the words of the audience in the live broadcast room, Mrs. Han should have played a good hand of the king's cards to a pulp. Who can blame this
Xie Ze was worried that Mrs. Han would not be able to get out of the way, so she specially arranged for a special female soldier to guard her, lest she find herself short-sighted.
Xie Ze arrested all the people and confiscated all their properties.
When he saw the account books of each family's annual salt service, and only looked at the approximate figures, he couldn't help taking a deep breath.
The lord of his own is extremely tolerant and generous to the soldiers in the military camp, and the military expenditure allocated every year is astronomical, and this is not counting the pensions and settlements of the fallen soldiers. The military expenditures of the various princes have a ranking, and their lord will definitely be at the top of the list, far away from the second largest.
When he looked at the account book, he knew what the picture Tucsenpo that the lord always talked about meant.
He was still too young.
