As the saying goes, good things never go out, while bad things spread like wildfire.
Before the sky brightened, the news of the Qin family being splashed with feces had already spread through the streets and alleys of Beijing.
The people of the capital loved to listen to gossip. Such a shocking thing had appeared, causing everyone to guess who had done it. There were even many versions of the story.
Originally, that concubine had a lover, but when the Great General saw her beauty, he forcibly snatched her away. That lover's status was low, but he was unable to do anything about it, so he was both depressed and indignant, thus he came up with such an insidious plan.
Someone said that it was the young son of the Military Department's Minister. Because three days ago, he had quarreled with Qin Great General over drinks at the Spring Mansion, he had resorted to revenge last night.
Others said that it was the political enemy of the Qin Great General who did this in order to suppress and disgust him.
"..."
In short, there were a lot of explanations, but the most convincing one was the adulterer Lin Zhaojun. As for the reason, some people revealed that the adulterer Lin Zhaojun went out on a trip a few days ago, and the Madam Qin seemed to have sent people to investigate her whereabouts. She must have done something to piss off the princess!
Listening to Zi Yu talk about the rumors outside, Lin Zhaojun was deeply impressed by the gossiping abilities of the people of the capital. [The people are wise indeed!]
The people who had nothing to do with him had already thought up the truth. It was likely that even the "victim" would come knocking soon!
Therefore, Lin Zhaojun intentionally waited at the Duke Palaces. She was only trying to guess if it was Qin Xu who had come, or the Madam Qin. However, regardless, the outcome would still be the same.
Just as Lin Zhaojun had expected, Madam Qin and a few robust female servants angrily came to the Duke Palace, telling them that they wanted to meet Lin Zhaojun.
The butler Uncle Zhong stopped the servant of Madam Qin, and only sent one person, Madam Qin, to meet Lin Zhaojun. Before meeting Lin Zhaojun, she was already angered to the point of heartache by the Uncle Zhong.
"Lin Zhaojun, you slut!"
Madam Qin saw the Lin Zhaojun who was sitting in the hall drinking tea from far away and scolded him impatiently.
Lin Zhaojun frowned and said: "Men, slap my face!"
Hence, before Madam Qin could even reach Lin Zhaojun, someone had already shot forward like an arrow. The two of them grabbed her and slapped her multiple times.
It only made Madam Qin dizzy, and when the person who grabbed her let go, he almost fell to the ground.
Zi Yan thought at the side: "This idiot, he dares to be so arrogant in other people's territory, his brain is already eaten by dogs!"
Madam Qin glared at Lin Zhaojun and scolded him unsteadily: "You dare hit me, you wicked woman, you will die a horrible death!"
"Madam Qin, once you enter the Duke Palace, you will immediately curse at me. I will give you a few tight slaps, and I won't feel wronged at all! If your mouth is still so dirty, I have even more powerful methods. Do you want me to help you broaden your horizons? " Lin Zhaojun said calmly.
Madam Qin suddenly realized that the enemy was stronger than herself and so she did not continue cursing.
"You must have had it done last night, didn't you?" Although Madam Qin asked this, her tone was very certain.
Lin Zhaojun found it funny and intentionally played dumb: "Last night? What happened last night? "
"I know. Last night, it was one of your men who poured out the night fragrance of my manor!" The Madam Qin said.
"Oh, so sure?" Lin Zhaojun asked again: "Why do you think I did it?"
Madam Qin was suddenly speechless.
However, the stench from his body was a reminder to Madam Qin. The Qin Residence reeked of foul air, and just doing nothing was enough to suffocate one to death.
I can't take this lying down, Madam Qin thought.
"Other than you, no one else would do such a thing!" The Madam Qin said.
"Oh, as long as it's bad, push it onto me. Do you think I'm easy to bully?" Lin Zhaojun raised her eyebrows, waiting for Madam Qin's flustered and exasperated look.
Sure enough, the Madam Qin was enraged and said: "I just splashed a little at your front door, and you actually made my house stink. Don't you think you're going too far?"
Yi, he admitted it just like that. I thought he was so powerful! Lin Zhaojun thought.
"Too much? It was you who provoked me first. I was merely returning the favor. How is that excessive? "
"You …" Madam Qin suddenly realized that she had said the wrong thing in her anger, but the words that she said were like water that had been poured out.
Madam Qin shamelessly said: "On what basis are you framing me?"
Lin Zhaojun felt bad when she saw Madam Qin pretending to be stupid, if you had a better attitude, then I would have let it go, but I'm already angry.
But if you want it, I won't stand on ceremony with you.
He waved his hand and said, "Bring him here."
When Madam Qin saw Feng Sister-in-Law, she knew that there was no longer any leeway for things to go, but she was very stubborn.
"Speak!" Lin Zhaojun instructed Phoenix Sister-in-Law.
"Yes, a few days ago, Madam Qin instructed me to pour a load of Night Fragrance in front of the Duke's Mansion! This moment is definitely true. If there is any lie, the heavens will send out five claps of thunder! " She swore.
Lin Zhaojun looked at the panicking Madam Qin and said: There is evidence and evidence here, what else do you have to argue about?
"Ah …" "You wicked woman, you will not have a good ending!" Seeing that the situation had gone from there, Madam Qin scolded once again.
Zi Yan could not watch any longer from the side, and spoke to Lin Zhaojun: "Princess, if the Madam Qin were to commit an offense, he would ignore the dignity of the Duke Palaces, and look down on the dignity of the imperial clan.
Lin Zhaojun said: "Then let's report it to the officials!"
As a result, not long after, someone from the yamen arrived, and Lin Zhaojun explained the entire situation in detail.
The officials did not dare to be negligent, and the Madam Qin was' invited 'to stay in the prison because of their' contempt for the might of the Emperor '.
With great difficulty, Great General had cleaned up the place, and before he could even take a rest, he heard about his wife being captured and was busy fishing for people.
The Qin Great General had truly gone to great lengths to marry such a troublemaker. He really did not know what kind of sins he had committed in his previous life! He could only blame his father for being blind and marrying him into such a wife.
And the matter of Lin Zhaojun sending people to destroy the Qin Clan was left unsettled. After all, the other party was also a victim, and doing so would only result in a counterattack, for a person to react in such a way.
Buddha had already said, good will be rewarded, evil will be rewarded, who told you to not cause trouble! You know, everything is about karma.
Thus, when the people of Beijing talked about it after their meals, they did not overly criticize Lin Zhaojun.
This was greatly out of Lin Zhaojun's expectations. She thought that she was born with a "black" physique, no matter what she did, there would always be people criticizing her!
It seemed that there was still justice in this world!
Actually, what Lin Zhaojun did not know was that the evil reputation of "adulterer" was only cursed out by the noble lords and ladies the most. After all, the original Prince Liyuan's Wife was only acting arrogantly and despotically towards this group of people, and had never done anything similar to fish or civilians.
