After being reborn, I stole the female lead's cheat ability and raised the empress.

Chapter 155 Complaint

Zhao Jihua sneered.

Ah!

Sketching?

How could she not know that her father, the king, was also a painter!

He was afraid his mother would be angry, so he planned to go away for a couple of days and come back when his mother's anger subsided!

What a cowardly man!

Zhao Jihua instructed, "It's alright. Don't let anything about the Prince of Jin's residence be revealed. Since Father is going to sketch, let him do his best!"

……

After Princess Jin woke up, she ordered that the two of them be released.

Zhao Jihua ultimately didn't stop him; it wasn't the right time yet.

We have to wait for the Prince of Jin to return so they can pay for their crimes in blood!

"Someone, go and investigate the ancient silver bead."

The servants quickly discovered her background.

"This ancient silver bead belongs to the daughter of Consort Fang of the Gu family. It was hidden away since childhood and was only revealed after a major upheaval ten years ago."

The servants then recounted Gu Yinzhu's life story in detail.

Fourteen years ago. Ancient Mansion.

Aunt Fang brought back a little maid, who turned out to be the master's biological daughter. Today, she brought her back to be recognized by the family.

In the main courtyard, the First Madam smashed a lot of furniture in a fit of rage.

That despicable Aunt Fang, she disregards her own dignity step by step.

If things continue like this, within a year, she'll have to hand over her position as the lady of the house to Aunt Fang.

"Tell me, what are her shortcomings?"

“This…Aunt Fang is beautiful, kind-hearted, well-educated, and treats her servants very well.”

"Useless!" The First Madam was furious. She didn't want to hear a single good word from that woman.

Indeed, Aunt Fang's public image was perfect in every way. She was beautiful, kind-hearted, well-educated, and a virtuous wife. If it weren't for her humble origins, I would have stepped down long ago.

"Aunt Fang was born in a brothel and came from a poor family."

The first wife grabbed the teapot in her hand and smashed it at him:

"Don't I know? The master said back then that this matter should not be mentioned again. What do you mean by this? Do you want me to fall from grace as soon as possible so that she can take over?"

At this moment, a maidservant stepped forward timidly and said, "However... it is said that this Concubine Fang is quite strict with Yinzhu, and makes her practice various female arts every day."

The First Madam was taken aback. The maid continued, "Aunt Fang's greatest asset is Yinzhu. If we can use this to sow discord between them..."

He's quite strict with his daughter...

Alright, I've finally found a loophole in your scheme.

She tapped the table, already having made up her mind.

She then called Yinzhu over and, feigning concern, hinted at something:

"I heard your aunt is quite strict with you, and even hits you? If your aunt continues to treat you that way, and you don't like it, just make a scene with her, and take it to your father. He will only side with you."

Because this man can't sever ties with his blood relatives. No matter how much his favor your aunt receives, she will definitely choose you over him. Because you are his blood relative.

Yinzhu hesitated at first, but when she returned home, Aunt Fang made her learn etiquette again.

She was so upset that she went to her father and cried her heart out.

As expected, the father told his aunt not to be so strict with her, and he even said some unpleasant things to her.

Aunt Fang was very upset and said defiantly, "I really won't take care of her anymore."

To everyone's surprise, they were both overjoyed, and the father even said, "It would be best if you could do it this way."

Yinzhu was secretly pleased that she could finally escape her mother's beatings.

After that, Yinzhu became increasingly close to the lady, while gradually distancing herself from her own mother.

However, she was unaware that this was a scheme by the madam to sow discord between her and her daughter, a tactic that Aunt Fang clearly understood.

With her husband's love gone, and her only support gone, Aunt Fang was "utterly devastated" and from then on only stayed in her small courtyard, never venturing out.

Yinzhu was also disposed of casually under some pretext by the madam.

Only then did she realize what had happened, but her mother was already disheartened and no longer cared about her.

She had already been raised to be a useless young lady.

So she ran away, and unexpectedly ran into the Prince of Jin.

When she was still a young maid, she met Prince Jin by chance, and they fell in love.

At that time, the Prince of Jin was just an unknown guard, and soon he followed the former Prince of Jin to the southern border.

So when she was able to see the Prince of Jin again, she immediately rushed to him.

At this time, the King of Jin was hesitating about whether to take a concubine and leave an heir.

So the two naturally got together.

After hearing the servant's description, Zhao Jihua was at a loss for words.

"Ha! It really is..."

……

Three days later, a scout reported that Prince Jin would return to his residence in the afternoon.

Zhao Jihua reached out to catch the warm sunlight, a playful smile playing on his lips. "The sun is shining brightly today, the weather is really nice. Let's go, the show is about to begin!"

When she arrived at the flower hall, it was already crowded with people.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have specially invited you all to the flower viewing banquet today, but I am late. I apologize for being late. My mother is unwell and cannot greet the guests. I am truly sorry," Zhao Jihua said with a slight bow.

Everyone quickly said it was alright.

What a joke! They're here to curry favor, not to find fault!

The atmosphere in the flower hall quickly became lively, creating a bustling and vibrant scene.

People came and went, creating a lively atmosphere.

Just then, an accident suddenly occurred!

Suddenly, a disheveled, ragged, and insane old woman burst out of the crowd like a bolt of lightning and lunged straight at Zhao Jihua.

Before anyone could react, the madwoman had already pointed at Zhao Jihua and started cursing: "You vicious little bitch..."

This sudden turn of events shocked everyone present, leaving them momentarily at a loss for what to do.

The servants rushed forward to try and grab the crazed woman.

But the other party struggled fiercely.

Seeing this, the servants dared not be careless and could only increase the force of their grip, trying to subdue him.

But to everyone's surprise, the madwoman not only did not stop cursing, but became even more frantic, and the foul language she uttered became increasingly unbearable.

Not only that, she even included the Princess Consort of Jin in her insults.

After she had finished her tirade, Zhao Jihua ordered, "Guards! Drag this madwoman away right now! She can't continue to disturb our distinguished guests!"

At her command, more servants rushed forward and forcibly dragged the madwoman away from the scene.

The farce was temporarily brought to an end.

……

As soon as the Prince of Jin entered the door, he saw Zhao Jihua coming to him crying.

"Father, you must do justice for your daughter!"

Then, she recounted how she had been "bullied".

"Your Majesty, I had invited noble ladies from the capital to enjoy the flowers today, but a madwoman somehow slipped in and immediately began to insult me ​​and my mother, even cursing us..."

The surrounding ladies quickly testified.

"Yes, when we passed by the lotus pond, that crazy woman rushed out and kept insulting Princess Jin and Princess Nanhua. She said some really nasty things!"

"What nonsense about cursing the Prince's mansion for having no heir, and cursing the Princess and the Princess..."

"..."

The crowd chimed in, repeating the insults the other person had used, and finally urged him to punish the person immediately.

"I'm not saying this to be rude, but that crazy woman was clearly deliberately slapping the Prince of Jin's mansion in the face!"

"Your Highness, you must punish this madwoman properly!"

The Prince of Jin, his face ashen, ordered his men to seize the madwoman and beat her with a board.

Although he had doubts, he didn't have time to think about them at the moment.

When did my daughter ever become so unseemly?

They must have suffered a great injustice!

The madwoman was quickly brought over.

Upon looking up and seeing the Prince of Jin, she excitedly wanted to step forward.

However, before she could even speak, she heard the Prince of Jin utter his icy words: "Guards! Slap her twenty times!"

Immediately, servants attacked her from both sides.

"Clap clap clap clap..."

The madwoman stood there dumbfounded, seemingly unable to believe that the other party would do such a thing.

"Waaaaah, Your Highness, it's me, Yinzhu!" But only indistinct sobs came out.

Su Ying removed her chin.

She was in such a sorry state that the Prince of Jin didn't even recognize her!

Zhao Jihua: You've dirtied my hands! How can I let them kill me and destroy my spirit by letting their own people do it?

Gu Yinzhu wanted to get close to the Prince of Jin and tell him who she was.

Zhao Jihua deliberately said, "Oh! Father, she wouldn't be planning to attack you, would she?"

Gu Yinzhu immediately lunged at her: "Shut up!"

Zhao Jihua hid behind the Prince of Jin, feigning fear, "Father, look, she's still howling at me..."

The Prince of Jin immediately slapped the madwoman across the face, then coldly ordered his servants, "Beat her! Beat her hard! What kind of wretch dares to act so arrogantly towards the Princess!"

After saying that, he turned around and began to comfort his "frightened" daughter.

"Hua'er, don't be afraid. With your father here, we will never let anyone bully you!"

Zhao Jihua sobbed, "But, but what she said was so awful, I'm scared..."

"Hua'er, don't be afraid! Men, beat them up badly! Who dares to hit my daughter!"

"This...this isn't good, is it? Father, I think she's about to vomit blood. If this continues, won't she die?"

They looked over and saw servants relentlessly beating Gu Yinzhu with sticks, and blood began to seep from the corner of her mouth.

The other party tried to grab the hem of Prince Jin's robe, but could not reach it no matter what they did.

He was mumbling something, but no one could understand him.

Seeing this, Zhao Jihua felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction!

She mouthed to Gu Yinzhu, "You bitch, you deserve it!"

Gu Yinzhu was so angry that she was gesticulating wildly, and the hatred in her eyes was about to solidify.

"Father, I'm scared~" Zhao Jihua leaned into the arms of the Prince of Jin.

The Prince of Jin quickly patted her back reassuringly, then said fiercely to the people around Gu Yinzhu, "Beat her to death!"

"Father..."

“Princess, you are too kind-hearted. This lowly commoner dared to offend you; he deserves to die!” A noblewoman immediately stepped forward to comfort her.

In the eyes of the powerful and wealthy, the lives of ordinary people are as worthless as grass; they can use any excuse, or even no excuse at all.

Prince Jin also had his own private feelings. Gu Yinzhu and her son had just arrived at the manor, and he couldn't let Hua'er and her daughter suffer any grievances or experience any sense of loss, otherwise Yinzhu and her son's lives would not be easy.

Little did he know that the silver pearl he longed for was right across from him, and he beat her to a pulp.

Across the pavilion, the crowd watched as Gu Yinzhu screamed in agony, and began cracking melon seeds.
