The Fulang's Modern Young Husband Chapter 384 Part 2

When the mother-in-law heard this, she realized there was truth to it. Right then and there, she didn't dare scold Madam Su any further. The villagers thought the same—they understood that if they wanted to rely on their daughter-in-law and son-in-law to get by, they'd have to humble themselves, treat them like their own flesh and blood, and never act the way they used to.

When Madam Su learned of this, she immediately straightened her back. Before, when her mother-in-law beat and cursed her, she hadn't fought back—afraid of being thrown out, and afraid that rumors would spread and people would brand her as unfilial. Back then, she worked the Old Su family's fields and ate their food, so no matter how she was treated, she had no choice but to endure it.

Qi Junmu stepped back slowly and sat down in the imperial chair, his expression both calm and complicated. He knew he was a stubborn and serious man.

It could be seen from his pursuit of Wen Wan in the past: whether her health was poor or the Empress Dowager disapproved, if he liked someone, he would speak his mind—even before the fearsome Emperor Jing, he would fight for what he wanted.

After marrying Wen Wan, when the Empress Dowager disliked her, he shielded her; if the Empress Dowager deliberately found fault, he still protected her. Marrying Wen Wan had been his choice, so he would see that she suffered no injustice.

Fang Zichen said smugly, "Truly, this is the son I've painstakingly raised. With just a few words, he sent those petty schemers scattering. He's definitely got a bit of my flair."

Liu Xiaowen shot Fang Zichen a sideways glance. Raising a son? Fang Zichen treated it like a game. He spent less serious time teaching the boy than playing around with him. It was only recently that he'd started going over practice problems with the boy, which took up a little extra time—and he'd been busier with other things too. Otherwise, those two would be out and about together, carrying on like a pair of brothers.

Ruan Jiqing hurriedly replied, "Your Majesty, the princess has never given this servant any favor, nor is she that kind of person." He paused for a moment, then continued, "This servant was merely thinking of the time when Your Majesty was still a prince. Back then, Prince Jin was still in the imperial prison, and Your Majesty worked day and night to clear His Highness's name. One time, you caught a chill and came down with a fever that very night. This servant was being punished by the Empress Dowager, but the princess took pity on me and pleaded for mercy on my behalf before Her Majesty, and even gave me medicine. If it hadn't been for the princess, how would this servant have lived to serve Your Majesty again?"

Qi Junmu naturally noticed that Shen Nian's expression had changed. Unwilling to let the man misunderstand that he had sent someone to keep an eye on him, he was about to explain himself when Shen Nian spread his hands in a shrug, his face alight with curiosity: "How did Your Majesty know that Cheng Jin wrote to this humble subject mentioning Prince Rui?"

Qi Junmu fixed his gaze on him. He saw nothing but curiosity in Shen Nian's expression—no suspicion—and his eyes were filled with trust.

At first, quite a few people thought the old woman had a point, because it had always been that way—women and gers should stay at home. So they hadn't chimed in, just watched the drama. But now that they thought about it carefully—earning clean silver openly, doing honest work—why exactly wasn't that allowed?

What wasn't acceptable?

These women and gers were from a neighboring village, and some folks recognized them. They knew their family situations. Their husbands were gone.

Qi Junmu spoke these words with complete sincerity, yet also with a peculiar sense of loss. He had never expected that the first person to say this to him would be Shen Nian—or perhaps he had never even considered that anyone would ever say such a thing to him at all.

The Empress Dowager was his own birth mother, the most honored woman in all of Da Qi. The palace attendants dared not gossip about her; when he and the Empress Dowager clashed, even Ruan Jiqing, who served at his side, would not speak a single word against her. He could only stand silently to one side, doing his best not to add to the Emperor's agitation.
