Guide to tame my villainous husbands novel Chapter 1318

"Now, why are you staring at my face?" Fu Beichou remarked as she looked at the woman who was kneeling in front of her. "Is your complaint written on my face?"

"No, Your Highness."

"Then what are you waiting for? Do I need to arrange an entire ceremony for you to speak?" Fu Beichou remarked angrily. Though her voice never rose, everyone in the court knew that she was angry. However, not only were they not scared, but they were also filled with excitement. With how furious Fu Beichou was, Mo Qiang would certainly receive a heavy penalty.

Hehe. Maybe she might even lose her life?

These officials were looking forward to Mo Qiang losing everything; only when she was dead could they use various means to occupy her booming business. These officials never once thought about what would happen if Mo Qiang were to die and the green energy that she carried within her core was gone.

They only cared about the benefits and not the consequences.

"Of course not, your highness!" the official shook her head. She then raised her hand and pressed it against her heart. "I am just disappointed and ashamed over the fact that Miss Mo used your trust to waste the resources of the fief as well as her attempt to defraud you."

"Defraud me?" Fu Beichou glanced at Mo Qiang, who seemed calm before turning to look at the woman who was speaking; she felt her brows twitch as she asked in a calm voice, "How is she defrauding me?"

This was indeed quite an important question. After all, Mo Qiang had done nothing but pay attention to her work for the past few weeks. She even ensured that the crops growing on the farm were of the finest quality. So how come suddenly she was charged with the crime of defrauding the queen?

"Your Highness!" The woman who was in charge of filing the complaint raised her head and continued to speak in a passionate voice, "Your Highness, you have no idea how this woman has ruined the livelihood of many workers who work in the fabric factories."

She raised her hand and pointed at Mo Qiang as if she were about to blame her for causing the deaths of many. With her fingers trembling in mock anger, she said to Fu Beichou, "This woman promised nothing but pride and honour to our fief but then she suddenly went back on her words. Your Highness, instead of working hard on growing crops that would fill the stomachs of our people, Miss Mo has been working on crops that could be used to make clothes!"

"Your highness, we have enough clothes to wear and how can these clothes bring honour and money to our nation? This is nothing but a big joke played by Miss Mo. She had not only wasted our precious time but she also kicked on the livelihood of many workers. This is a deliberate attempt to dirty your name, your highness! I beg you to ask Miss Mo, Why did she do such a thing?"

The woman had arranged everything well. She first raised the matter of the livelihood of the workers, followed by the problem of filling one's stomach and finally the matter of growing crops that had no importance.

After all, what would they do by growing crops that would be used to make clothes? They already had enough clothes to wear! What they needed was food! Vegetables and Fruits! What would they do with clothes?

As soon as the woman finished speaking, the other officials also started clamouring.

"That's right, your highness, we have enough clothes to wear all year long!"
