Fortunately, the servant girl who served Zeng Yanli had a guilty conscience after betraying her. When Duke's wife left, she told the truth to the Minister of Revenue and his wife.
This time, Mrs. Zeng couldn't take it.
Since Duke Zhengguo's mansion had gone too far, then don't blame the people of the Zeng Manor for not giving them any face.
Therefore, when Duke Zhengguo's Madam came to Empress Dowager's Palace to make a scene, Mrs. Zeng was already in front of the Empress, crying and complaining about the grievances of her eldest daughter and the Zeng Manor.
That was how the Empress's decree came about.
After the news spread, the rich ladies in the circle immediately felt that Wen Yujing was too ruthless and calculative. Such a person could be befriended, but not deeply. Otherwise, they would not know when they would be tricked by her.
