Chapter 457 Chapter 458: Rebuking Cai

Feng Yi comforted Yun Zhao, and Xu Sixi invited the emperor to discuss matters. The courtiers were already waiting.

Yun Zhao cheered up and persuaded Feng Yi to leave. After the emperor left, the expression on her face slowly calmed down. Not long after, Mrs. Ning Anbo arrived with Mrs. Wen Xinhou.

Yun Zhao first sneered when he saw Mrs. Cai, and then said directly: "I think the Cai family's boldness is all given by my wife."

Ms. Cai looked very embarrassed when she heard her daughter's words. She couldn't hold it back and said, "I really don't know anything about this."

"You don't know anything?" Song Yunzhao stared at her with a half-smile, "Since Madam didn't know before, she doesn't need to know how to deal with it later."

 Choi:…

 “That’s your uncle after all…”

"What uncle? I'm afraid I won't even recognize the Cai family when they come up to me. How can Madam have the nerve to say this?" Song Yunzhao was disgusted by the Cai family, otherwise she wouldn't have said such harsh words with her current temperament.

Ms. Cai was hit hard by her daughter's words. Her face turned black and white, and she suppressed her anger and did not dare to say a word.

They had a bad relationship between mother and daughter, and they disliked each other. She never took her back to her parents' home, so she didn't know anyone from the Cai family. After returning to Beijing, she directly ran for election and entered the palace, and she had no chance to meet the Cai family.

The eldest lady sat aside and said nothing. She knew that this matter would not be over until Yun Zhao's anger came out.

 Besides, why should Yun Zhao clean up the Cai family's mess?

 What did the Cai family give Yun Zhao?

The eldest lady is also very angry, but as the matron of the house, she can't say it outright to make Mrs. Cai angry.

Ms. Cai sat there with a sullen face and said nothing. Song Yunzhao knew her nature, and not speaking did not mean that she thought she was wrong. Perhaps in Ms. Cai's eyes, this was just a trivial matter.

 She is too lazy to talk nonsense with her.

Turning his head, Yun Zhao looked at his eldest aunt, "This matter has made eldest aunt worry about it."

The eldest lady sighed softly, "We have nothing to do. Your eldest uncle is not an official now. There is no hindrance to your eldest cousin being an official outside. But the third brother's position in the Ministry of Revenue has been coveted by others, but he has always been cautious in doing things. , others can't easily find his shortcomings, and now that something like this has happened, I'm afraid that Third Brother will have a hard time with this."

Mr. Cai suddenly raised his head when he heard this, "It's just a little usury, why is it so difficult?"

Song Yunzhao looked at Mrs. Cai with disgust, "Not to mention borrowing money to seek high profits, Madam, maybe she forgot that there is still a human life!"

Ms. Cai shook her lips and wanted to say that it was just a pariah's life, and she would just pay some money, but looking at Song Yunzhao's dark face, she did not dare to say it.

“Ma’am, do you want to say it’s just a cheap life?”

Chai's face stiffened, and then turned a little pale.

Song Yunzhao sneered, "Madam, you know that in the eyes of this palace, the Cai family only has a humble life!"

Ms. Cai felt her eyes darken, and the eldest lady was also frightened.

"Madam, if you don't take other people's lives seriously, you should have a taste of it." Song Yunzhao hated Cai's attitude of not taking people seriously. To put it bluntly, she was just the daughter of a sixth-grade principal, so where did she come from? His arrogance treats other people's lives as nothing. The eldest lady's heart was beating fast. It was the first time she saw Yun Zhao speak so harshly and sharply. At this time, she shut her mouth tightly and did not say a word to intercede for the Cai family and the Cai family.

Looking at Mr. Cai's face, Yun Zhao said numbly: "This matter has alarmed Your Majesty. Your Majesty sent someone to reprimand me. I have already apologized to the emperor. I ask Your Majesty to deal with this matter impartially."

When Cai heard this, she fell to the ground.

Song Yunzhao didn't even look at her, and shouted loudly: "Xiangxue!"

 “The slave is here.”

 “Send Madam Hou back to her home.”

"Yes." Xiangxue immediately stepped forward to help Ms. Cai, who was weak in the arms and legs. Seeing that Ms. Cai wanted to speak, for fear of irritating the empress again, she immediately said loudly: "Madam, please follow me. Now Madam also thinks about the young masters and girls in the mansion. Just think about it.”

Ms. Cai thought of her son who was still studying in the south and her eldest daughter who was just looking forward to her life. She suppressed her words and her face became even more distorted.

After Cai was dragged away by Xiangxue, Song Yunzhao sighed slightly, looked at the eldest lady and said, "This matter has made eldest aunt and uncle worried."

The eldest lady shook her head, "It's nothing. It's just that the empress is so angry, so she has to take good care of herself and don't let those people make her angry."

Song Yunzhao looked at the eldest lady and said, "From now on, the family will have to restrain the clan members. If anyone does anything illegal and disciplined, don't blame me for being unkind."

The eldest lady hurriedly responded, "The empress and the eldest prince are living cautiously in the palace. Naturally, we will not cause trouble or upset the empress."

Song Yunzhao knew that this was just the beginning. As the title grew bigger and bigger, more and more people would surround the Song family. She was now using the Cai family to scare the monkeys and let them remember not to lose their duty in doing things.

"With my eldest aunt and uncle here, I am naturally very relieved, but the Song family is gradually gaining momentum. Firstly, the emperor wants to support the eldest prince's maternal family, and secondly, it is because my father and the eldest cousin are doing things that win the emperor's heart. The Song family does not need to cling to anyone, nor form cliques for personal gains. They must be loyal to His Majesty and serve the people wholeheartedly. This will ensure peace and prosperity."

The First Lady kept these things in mind and said, "Don't worry, Madam, I will truthfully convey your instructions when I return home."

Song Yunzhao had a smile on his face after hearing this. He looked at the eldest lady and said, "I heard that someone came to Beijing to give a heavy gift to Princess Fukang. Does eldest aunt know about this?"

"Does the empress also know?" The eldest lady was a little surprised. She didn't expect the news to spread so quickly. "Princess Fukang didn't accept it and sent her away without seeing anyone. Although our family and the princess's mansion are related by marriage, this kind of It’s not easy to get involved in things, so I just hear about them.”

Song Yunzhao nodded, "Princess Fukang is a smart person, how dare you accept such blood-stained money? Your people sending money to the princess are just testing His Majesty's mind in the end. The Song family must not get involved and stay away. . If the princess needs help from the Song family for something, the eldest aunt should think twice and not let go easily."

The eldest lady nodded carefully, "Don't worry, Madam, your uncle also told me not to go out recently, and any banquets have been postponed. There was a tea banquet at the Princess Mansion, and I did not go there."

Song Yunzhao sighed softly, "I just hope that my cousin can accumulate qualifications and political achievements, so that he can become an official in the court as soon as possible."

Song Weiran's temperament is completely different from that of her father. The two complement each other, so that they can form a barrier in the court, and the Song family can be considered to have a place.

Now the reputation of the Song family seems to be prosperous, but it collapsed in one blow.

If the Song family had been stronger, the Cai family's affairs would not have caused a storm in the city, with the sword pointing at her and Feng Zhi.
