Yin Huaixi nodded. “Of course, there will definitely be conflicts. You have to rember at all tis that we’re guarding our territory, and it’s also the thousands of commoners in this territory. Since the refugees are in our territory, no matter what their local accent is, they’re the people we need to protect. ”
Luo Huai’s expression trembled. “Although I’ve retired from the army, as long as I’m in the You army, I’ll rember ghosts for the rest of my life.”
Yin Huaixi was finally a little relieved. “The matter in Anshan County has co to an end. The refugees in Liaodong have also been settled. I’ll return to Xiangping tomorrow. ”
Luo Huai couldn’t help but laugh. “You’re worried about the Little Princess Consort, right?”
Anshan and Xiangping were neighbors. During this period of ti, news about
Xiangping kept spreading to Anshan and into His Highness’s ears. His Highness’s actions had clearly beco more urgent, and he had not slept for three days.
Yin Huaixi did not deny it. “She’s young and has just arrived. I wonder if she’s used to life in Xiangping.”
When Luo Huai heard this, he was surprised. “In just a few days, Madam Zhangs complaint has caused an uproar. The Han Clan is coming aggressively. Aren’t you worried that she’ll suffer?”
As the Bai Residence publicly admitted that the People’s Relief Hall sold inferior dicinal herbs, in order to salvage their reputation that had been damaged by selling inferior dicinal herbs, the Bai Residence carried out a series of activities such as lowering prices, discounts, giving dicine, and volunteer consultation, catching the Han Clan off guard.
However, the Han Clan was not to be trifled with.
After their initial plan was disrupted, they imdiately counterattacked.
Firstly, it was exposed that soone had taken the dicine from the People’s Relief Hall and caused a human life. It pushed the Bai Residence to the top of the lilight, causing the Bai Residences reputation to plumt.
It was obvious that they had ssed up Princess Shaoyi’s plan to help the Bai Residence.
Yin Huaixi laughed. “She’s never lost when it cos to scheming. If the Han
Clan behaves obediently, she won’t be able to do anything to them.”
Scheming was often closely related to a person’s horizons, knowledge, and heart. anwhile, a person’s horizons, heart, and knowledge were often closely related to a person’s family background, talent, and status.
He had taught Yu Youyao, allowing her to grow her mind and temperant.
The upbringing of the aristocratic families allowed Yu Youyao to have a higher starting point. She had long known how to control people’s hearts and human nature. She was also familiar with the rules and gas between the aristocratic families.
The Xie Residence and Yu Youyao could be said to be very close. Although she was not as close to the Xie Residence as she was with Old Madam Yu, in terms of familial ties, they were far better than the people from the Yu Residence. The Xie Residence never interfered in Yu Youyao’s matters, but they set an example and subtly influenced her in the ways of the world.
This made Yu Youyao better at observing developnts and changes. She took advantage of the situation without scheming and was guided by the situation. She often hit the nail on the head.
He was good at scheming, and Yu Youyao was even better at scheming.
Sixth Young Master Han was under house arrest. He Zhixian was in a relatively remote manor in Xiangping and knew nothing about what had happened in Xiangping.
Madam Zhang was a citizen of Xiangping County, so it was difficult for her to escape responsibility. On the sa day, Princess Shaoyi left the governnt office of the state capital and was summoned to the governnt office to “assist” in investigating this case.
Due to a “important” case in Xiangping City, the city had also begun to be under martial law. Letters were piled up at the courier station, and the city gate was guarded with more troops. Everyone who ca and went had to be strictly checked.
The exact news in Xiangping City could not be sent out.
The land-owning class did not know the situation, so they could only send news through the spy that Sixth Young Master Han had arranged previously.
As Sixth Young Master Han did not participate in the arrangents for this matter, and the martial law in Xiangping City, Sixth Young Master Han did not take the initiative to contact the spies. The spies did not dare to take the initiative to contact Sixth Young Master Han. The spies could not obtain any specific information about their master, and the information they sent was all obtained from the market. Most of the information was about what happened on the surface.
The undercurrent behind this case was turbulent, making it even more confusing.
The land-owning class did not doubt this either. As a direct descendant of the Han family, Sixth Young Master Han was soone that the family had focused on nurturing. They had sent Sixth Young Master Han to Xiangping City because they recognized his abilities.
Sixth Young Master Han had secretly co to Xiangping City. His plan to deal with Princess Shaoyi was also carried out behind the scenes. In order to prevent this matter from implicating the Han Clan, Sixth Young Master Han did not take the initiative to contact the spy or show his face. In the eyes of the land-owning class, this was out of caution. There was no problem at all.
If there was a problem, Sixth Young Master Han would definitely send a ssage to the clan in advance.
No news from Sixth Young Master Han was the best news.
They had never dread that He Zhixian would betray them and place Sixth Young Master Han under house arrest. He had beco the culprit behind their mistakes.
Hence, the news spread by the spies was that Madam Zhang had reported her case. However, Princess Shaoyi was not easy to deal with either. She implicated King Li of Zhou, who had dodged the bullet, and even captured 18 hooligans who had instigated the commoners before complaining to the governnt office.
The reaction of the land-owning class was almost the sa as that of He Zhixian back then.
Madam Zhangs complaint was originally just to accuse Princess Shaoyi of interfering in the court and causing chaos in the country.
The plan did not work, but Madam Zhang had publicly intercepted Princess Shaoyi’s carriage and cried out for justice on the streets. This was obvious to everyone. The Han Clan only needed to release so rumors about Princess Shaoyi and use public opinion to achieve their goal.
The Han Clan’s public opinion attack was undoubtedly successful.
As Madam Zhangs husband, Liu Dagen, was killed by an ordinary cold because he had eaten the inferior dicinal herbs he had taken from the People’s Relief Hall, all kinds of rumors about the Bai Residence spread like wildfire.
A series of preferential activities such as lowering prices, discounts, giving dicine, and volunteer consultations from the Bai family’s pharmacy still failed to restore the credibility of the Bai family’s many years of operations.
The commoners were furious. As they scolded the Bai Residence for being greedy and disregarding human lives, they rushed crazily to the Baiji dicinal Shop. In front of the Bai Residence, they threw rotten eggs, rotten vegetables, stones, and so on. They asked the Bai Residence to admit their cris publicly and turn themselves in at the governnt office. Otherwise, they would not stop.
The Bai Residence was deeply mired in public opinion, condemnation, and criticism.
The Han Clan used this opportunity and spared no effort to use the strength of other nobles to suppress and slander the Bai Residence. They even implicated Princess Shaoyi.
“A life for a life. The Bai family has to take responsibility!!
“They said that they were enlightened by Princess Shaoyi and were determined to be kind. If they really wanted to be kind and caused soone’s death, why didn’t they turn themselves in at the governnt office?”
“Didn’t they say that Princess Shaoyi is kind and benevolent? Why is she still covering up for the Bai Residence?”
“The Bai Residence must have gotten involved with Princess Shaoyi, so they’re fearless.’
“This case has been interrogated for a few days, but the Bai Residence has been fine. Princess Shaoyi must be supporting them.”
“Get Princess Shaoyi to hand over the Bai Residence…”
Anything that involved human lives would beco very complicated. The retaliation of the aristocratic families was more intense than they had imagined.
All of this was within Yu Youyao’s expectations..
