Chapter 349 Going to the Palace to Complain
Because Yuxiu's space was still filled with many supplies that had been purchased for free. Although they were taken out to help others, there had never been a chance to consume much of them.
Taking advantage of this flood, Yuxiu decided to take out some of the money and distribute it to the people affected by the disaster.
Cui and Xu Qinghe also agreed to this matter, but in order not to be the first to do so and thus avoid being hated by others, they could not do it in a high-profile manner.
Finally, the three of them discussed and decided to wait until the steamed buns were ready and then send someone out to distribute them to the victims.
As for the remaining food, we will wait until the heavy rain is over and when these people return home to resettle, we will give some to each family.
The Xu family was busy and nervous, while Mrs. Luo packed everything up and sent a letter to the palace early in the morning to ask for an audience with the Queen Mother.
"Ya'er's illness has dragged on until now?"
When the Queen Mother heard that Luo Shiya's illness was getting worse, she couldn't help but be surprised.
She remembered that the Luo family had gone to the palace to invite the imperial physician about ten days ago. She had asked about it at the time, and he said that it was just a cold and that she would get better soon after taking some medicine.
However, I didn't expect that even though I had invited several imperial physicians to treat a minor cold, not only did the disease not heal, but it became very serious.
"Please help me, Auntie. Ya'er is sleeping longer and longer now. She had a high fever last night. She is almost going crazy."
Mrs. Luo threw herself at the Queen Mother's feet, crying with tears and snot.
The Queen Mother had been in the palace for many years, so naturally she was surrounded by trustworthy people. She did not shy away from anything and asked Madam Luo why she came to the palace to look for her.
Although she was the empress dowager, she was not a doctor. The doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau couldn't do anything about it, so she had no other solution either.
"Wuwuwu... Please, Queen Mother, save Ya'er's life. Except for Madam Cui, everyone else is helpless..."
Mrs. Luo said pleading words, but she felt very happy in her heart.
She described how she had humbly come to someone's house to beg for help, and how she was locked out. In the end, she went to several places, but returned empty-handed every time...
In her vivid description, she was a poor woman who had nowhere to turn to for help. Cui and the Ning Wangfu were the tyrannical bullies who had forced her into a corner. In desperation, in order for her daughter Luo Shiya to have a chance to survive, she had to come to the palace to seek help from the Empress Dowager...
Madam Luo wiped the tears from her eyes with a handkerchief, but she sneered in her heart. With the Queen Mother, the most noble woman in the world, taking action, no matter whether you are Cui or the Second Madam, you have no choice but to obey.
Even if Cui had the support of the Divine Doctor Sect, they would not dare to have any other thoughts under the imperial power.
"Stop crying and sit down and talk things out."
Seeing that her voice was getting louder and louder, the Empress Dowager frowned and scolded her, pointing to the soft chair next to her, motioning her to sit down first.
"You mean the Cui family? Could it be that they are the family that was brought back to Prince Ning's Mansion a few days ago?"
Before, Concubine Jing gave full-month gifts to Xu Qinghe's two children, and the empress dowager also gave them some other things as rewards.
"It's her family. This family has lived in the countryside for so many years. They don't understand the social etiquette of the capital. In fact, the two families are still relatives. I didn't expect that even though I, the mistress of the house, went to her house in person to beg her, she still didn't give me any face..."
Mrs. Luo thought of the humiliation she had suffered in front of the Xu family's door before, and the anger in her heart began to burn again. She even exaggerated and spoke ill of Cui in front of the Queen Mother.
"After all, our Luo family is the natal family of your Majesty the Queen Mother. Even the current emperor has valued the Luo family more because of you. But who would have thought that the Xu family and the Cui family, relying on the power of the Divine Doctor Sect, would not even look at us. They are not only humiliating our Luo family, but also openly challenging the majesty of the royal family..."
With just a few words, she easily accused the Xu family of disrespecting imperial power, completely ignoring the devastating consequences that would befall the Xu family and the Cui family if these words were taken seriously.
In other words, she was very clear about the consequences and deliberately wanted to harm the Xu family.
"How could this family be so cruel?"
The Queen Mother listened with a frown on her face, and the cruelty in her eyes became more and more intense.
She gave birth to three children in her life, two of whom died in her womb. The last one was born, a chubby little princess, but she also lost her life in this cannibalistic palace. Later, in order to avenge her children, she did not hesitate to use all means, and finally sent those people to hell with her own hands.
Although the current emperor is not her biological son, he still respects her because of the kindness he showed her in the past.
The emperor respected her as the empress dowager, so no one else in the harem, no matter if it was the empress or the imperial concubine, dared to act rudely in front of her.
So since she defeated those people, except for not having her own children, everything else in the palace has been smooth sailing. It has been a long time since she met the kind of people that Madam Luo was talking about.
"That's not all."
Seeing that the Empress Dowager was interested, Madam Luo was overjoyed, and she quickly told the Empress Dowager what she had heard from the maids in the mansion, cutting out some of the details.
"Poor Third Master and his family from Prince Ning's Mansion. When that incident happened, he was just a newborn baby. How could he know the twists and turns between adults? He has been living in Prince Ning's Mansion for all these years. Now that the family has returned, they were immediately kicked out..."
To be honest, she gets along well with Qin from the third house, which is why the newcomer Cui doesn't take her seriously. If she had something to ask Qin for help, Qin would definitely not be like Cui, who would not care about her dignity at all.
"Besides, the Third Madam is also unlucky. With the Third Master's sickly body, if it weren't for the fact that he is the Third Master of Prince Ning's Mansion, the Third Madam would not have married him even if she had stayed in Pingnan Marquis Mansion as an old maid for the rest of her life. Now, the whole family has been driven out of Prince Ning's Mansion. Not only has she lost face, but the two children have also been implicated. From now on, they are no longer the young master and young lady of Prince Ning's Mansion, but have become children of the peasants..."
Mrs. Luo kept talking nonstop. This time, Cui had completely offended her, so she was naturally speaking from the perspective of the Qin family.
Anyway, it's easy to talk while standing, and those who come to watch the fun don't mind it, so she naturally has nothing to worry about.
