"Not good, Old Master, it’s the Old Dowager and Madam who are also injured!" The housekeeper reported, and the Pri Minister, who had a smile, was angered!
"What’s going on?"
The Pri Minister glared angrily. Who dared to cause trouble in his mansion? In this Imperial City, outside of the Emperor and the Princes and Princesses in the Imperial Palace,
among the high-ranking and powerful ministers, he was one of the top. Today his house held a banquet, and his granddaughter, the Princess, ca. Who would dare run wild on his turf?
Not only the Pri Minister but also his son and his father, and several of their close male relatives were in the outer courtyard, discussing so sches!
The Pri Minister’s family, with a Noble Consort among them, always chose won for marriage alliances. In the Capital City, which family didn’t do this?
Not only the legitimate sons and daughters but also the illegitimate sons and daughters were pawns in the ga, just like the Noble Consort, the Emperor’s woman, and the other won of the Emperor, all were daughters of officials!
These officials included both prominent families of high rank and daughters of minor officials.
This Emperor, with so many concubines, the Three Palaces and Six Courtyards, and three thousand beauties in the harem, had more children than any other dynasty!
One could say he was full of vigor, spreading his favor evenly!
In the Pri Minister’s family, the daughter married as a wife was only the official wife of General Ye, yet she was the most miserable. With ulterior motives, they originally wanted to make General Ye have no descendants.
Knowing that heaven does not fulfill one’s wishes, the Emperor... gave an indication, and the Pri Minister had no choice but to sacrifice his sister’s happiness, all for the future of these families!
General Ye’s wife definitely refused at the ti, but later had no choice. She was given dicine within the family and had no children. Eventually, she found out!
She couldn’t help but bla her maternal family, yet was helpless. Her family gave her two choices: return to the Buddhist Hall at ho, or stay by General Ye’s side, and the family would secretly support her. Except for having no children, she’d live a life of luxury and wealth.
This promise was only for ten or eight years. When the Emperor sent General Ye to the border, to that place of suffering, General Ye had to take his family with him. The promise of the Pri Minister’s family was only to secretly protect, sending more people to secretly monitor General Ye!
Today’s banquet mainly aid at a sche, to defa the granddaughter General Ye just acknowledged during this banquet.
The plot hadn’t unfolded yet, and they planned everything before dining, setting a trap during the al and drugging the dishes.
The Pri Minister thought that the hour hadn’t arrived, the ti for the sche to unfold, but in the banquet courtyard, chaotic sounds could be heard!
Panic, screaming, even several courtyards away, one could see the dust rising from that courtyard!
There was also the noisy sound of a flower pot being broken!
The Pri Minister and the other n, who were in a eting, unanimously believed soone was causing trouble!
One by one they glared angrily, making the reporting house servant tremble, kneeling with a "thud"!
"Old Master, we heard from the won’s banquet side, the Second Princess whipped a woman, and then it got chaotic, the Old Dowager and Madam, along with so noble ladies and other won, were frightened. So were even injured!"
The house servant was just relaying the ssage; they couldn’t even enter the won’s side. The courtyard on the won’s side was guarded by an old woman, and she hurriedly ran out to report!
The house servant could only quickly relay the ssage. The Old Dowager and Madam, along with nobles, were injured. Besides needing to summon a doctor, the Pri Minister, and the Old Master, also had to be inford. The host’s purpose for setting the banquet was unknown to the servants.
With esteed guests injured, the Old Dowager, Pri Minister’s Wife, and other noble won injured, their mansion couldn’t bear the responsibility!
Upon hearing the Second Princess was whipping a woman, the Pri Minister and the eting attendees instantly realized it was definitely the Second Princess punishing the Ye family’s woman!
They had discussed earlier that the Second Princess’ arrival was due to the Ye family’s scandal, and the Second Princess was to handle the punishnt!
Why, when the trap wasn’t even set, did the Second Princess whip a woman, injuring the Old Dowager, Pri Minister’s Wife, and all those wealthy people and Ladies?
The Pri Minister’s head throbbed; after all, having weathered great storms, he was extrely concerned and imdiately sent people to invite the Imperial Physician and also the best doctor from the Capital City!
It wasn’t feasible for the n to go to the inner courtyard; they were stuck in the outer courtyard, just anxious!
"Quick, quick, quickly take those injured back to the courtyard."
The Old Master’s eyes flashed. Although his old wife was injured, he wasn’t too worried. At this age, it was more about maintaining face.
The Pri Minister, at this mont, wasn’t most concerned about his wife being injured but rather worried about soone else’s wife being injured. Then compensation wouldn’t be that simple; there’d be other losses.
Everyone who was eting scattered imdiately, each busy with their affairs!
At the banquet, whether it was from drunkenness, injury, being trampled on, or even falling awkwardly, these, be it the Old Dowager, Pri Minister’s Wife, or those noble Won and Ladies, were now in a ssy state!
The Second Princess whipped a woman, even those rely watching got into trouble!
From this, it was evident that the woman being whipped deliberately dodged toward them, being innocently dragged into it, loathing in their hearts, wishing they could peel off that woman’s skin, and draw her blood.
The injured were already helped up, moved to different places to change clothes, and fix their hair, those injured waited in the arranged place for the doctor to arrive!
The Old Dowager, aged as she was, sprained her back and twisted her foot, and was carried back to the courtyard!
The Old Master visited the Old Dowager’s courtyard, seeing her state, comforted her with a few words, and then left!
The Old Dowager was so much in pain she fainted. Seeing the Old Master leave and the doctor still absent, though the mansion had doctors, they were held up by other guests along the way, insisting on seeing soone else first.
The Old Dowager’s courtyard was in chaos, with people bustling in and out!
The Old Master saw there was no serious issue and then went to another courtyard!
The Pri Minister could only manage the overall situation in the outer courtyard, unable to go to the inner courtyard. All he could do was send the servants to invite doctors, using his na card to invite them, besides having the housekeeper welco them, and personally invite the Imperial Physician!
The Pri Minister’s Mansion’s banquet this ti was lively, with attendees all from his faction, usually not doing things this way, the military thorn was ant to set a trap.
The lively event turned into a farce, a tragedy of personnel getting injured!
The Pri Minister heard that the woman who was whipped was injured and also escaped, with so many people injured in the mansion and the trap not yet set, fearing his anger soared to the sky, wishing he could send soone to the Ye family and annihilate them!
