Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm

Chapter 1060: Chapter 1060: Entering the Palace_1 Chapter 1060: Chapter 1060: Entering the Palace_1 Bai Zhi recounted what had just happened:

She had met with Tong Sanlang and wanted to discuss martial arts with him, but instead, Tong Sanlang struck out at her and even injured all her guards. Worse still was Qiao Xiaomai, who actually cursed her, saying her whole body was… was covered in filth!

Such detestable adultery and deception deserved severe punishment!

Emperor Yong’an and Yao Xian were originally eating, but when they suddenly heard Qiao Xiaomai’s metaphor, their appetite vanished completely.

Yao Xian was even more upset, “This Qiao Xiaomai, relying on her father’s favor, is truly lawless. To mock a princess of the current dynasty in public, Your Majesty, you can’t let her off easily.”

Ever since the New Year, Yang Wenxiao had become increasingly dependent on Qiao Xiaomai’s skills, insisting on bringing batches of items from the manor every other day.

Furthermore, he wasn’t the only one eating; he often bestowed the manor’s offerings to everyone, including her, Emperor Yong’an, the Yang family, and all the other concubines, princes, and princesses–no one from the Royal family was spared.

Among these gifts, the delicate pastries could still be tolerated; after all, they were made with white flour. Although the taste was ordinary, they were passable.

But besides the pastries, there were actually wild vegetables!

Wild vegetables!

These were what the poor who couldn’t afford meals would eat, yet Yang Wenxiao dared to place such lowly food on the Royal family’s table!

This must surely be Qiao Xiaomai’s bewitchment!

Demoness!

In such a circumstance, her impression of Qiao Xiaomai had worsened day by day. Recently, she had even been contemplating how to expose Qiao Xiaomai’s true nature.

Yang Wenxiao, Yang Ye, and Yang Hao had already been deeply poisoned. She didn’t want anyone else to fall for the trap.

Yang Ye and Yang Hao were her only two sons; she was counting on them for the rest of her life. Qiao Xiaomai dared to strike at them; her sin was unforgivable!

“Your Majesty, I think it would be best to lock up the couple in the Sky Prison for ten days and a half month before releasing them. By then they will definitely not dare to be as arrogant as they are now,” she suggested.

Emperor Yong’an didn’t ponder as much as Yao Xian. Although he didn’t like Qiao Xiaomai’s skills, he had no dislike toward her personally.

As far as he knew, Qiao Xiaomai was quite obedient. For her to suddenly speak out against Bai Zhi, there must be a reason.

“Summons the couple for a hearing,” he commanded.

Upon hearing this, Yao Xian immediately pointed at Bai Zhi, “Your Majesty, do you not trust Zhi’er?”

“It’s not a matter of mistrust, but both parties must be present for a trial. They must be given a chance to defend themselves,” he clarified.

“What if the insult to Zhi’er is true?” asked Yao Xian.

“Then we shall judge according to the Daqi Laws,” said Emperor Yong’an.

Relieved by his words, Yao Xian looked toward the tearful Bai Zhi and said, “Zhi’er, don’t worry, His Majesty will support you.”

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhi broke into a smile and immediately expressed her thanks.

No matter how clever Qiao Xiaomai’s mouth was, she had just ridiculed and mocked her.

A mere scholar’s wife dared to disrespect her in front of everyone, she deserved to be punished!

Fang Hai received the order and hastily left the Imperial Palace to the city gate, where Qiao Xiaomai and her party had just finished some pastries and tea, preparing to lie down in the carriage for a rest.

Seeing this scene, Fang Hai muttered to himself about how careless they were, then announced Emperor Yong’an’s command, urging the group to get up and follow him to the Palace.

For the sake of an accurate reconstruction of what had happened, the guards, being participants and witnesses, were all to enter the Palace to be questioned, including the guards at the city gate, who were also to accompany them as witnesses.

So the group hurriedly sat in the carriage and sped toward the Imperial Palace.
