The woman who had rushed in knelt in front of Yan Qiuying and cried, "Mrs. Yan! Mrs. Yan! Please save my husband! He only went to steal the photos for Eldest Miss because of your instructions! Please save him! I'm kowtowing to you! "As she spoke, she kowtowed until her forehead was red and swollen.
Then, more media jumped in from outside the door, holding cameras and video cameras, taking pictures of Yan Qiuying and the middle-aged woman who was kowtowing to them.
Yan Qiuying froze for a moment before recognizing the middle-aged woman as the wife of one of the four men!
"What are you talking about? I'm very sorry about this. My daughter acted recklessly and implicated your husband. " Yan Qiuying immediately began to cry. Dou Haoyan, who saw that the situation had taken a turn for the worse, squeezed over and escorted Yan Qiuying away.
…
"What's going on? Why would someone go to the orphanage to beg you?! "Prime Minister Dou was furious.
He had been elected to power and knew better than anyone the importance of public image.
His wife had done charity work for many years and had given him many points.
This time, it was likely that she would be a hindrance. Even the charity activities that had given him points in the past would be questioned.
"It was an accident. No one expected this to be known by others." Dou Haoyan supported his head with his hand and sat on the sofa. He glanced at his crying mother, then at his furious father, and advised, "Dad, hurry up and think about how to deal with this. We must control the media and prevent them from broadcasting these uncensored videos. "
Prime Minister Dou left home with a grim expression and went to his office to discuss the matter with his aides.
After an emergency PR, the major Huaxia TV stations, newspapers, and magazines agreed not to broadcast the video or report on it. However, they hoped that the Prime Minister would give them other opportunities as compensation.
Just as Prime Minister Dou's family thought that the matter had died down, a cellphone video suddenly appeared on social media. Although the image was not very clear, everyone could tell who the gentle and virtuous woman in the video was.
The Prime Minister's wife had campaigned with the Prime Minister twice and had a high level of exposure.
She was born into a wealthy merchant family and married Prime Minister Dou, who was born a commoner. She had stayed at home to support her husband and children and helped him ascend to the position of Prime Minister. The story had been repeatedly exaggerated by the media and everyone in the Huaxia Empire knew about it.
"Haven't they been suppressed? Why is it being broadcasted again? "Yan Qiuying was furious when she saw her image on the video.
The Prime Minister ordered someone to question them, but they said that this was social media, not television stations, newspapers, and magazines.
The Prime Minister only asked them not to broadcast on television, newspapers and magazines, but did not ask them not to broadcast on social media.
At this time, the Dou family knew that someone was deliberately messing with them. However, they had too many political enemies, so they couldn't figure out who did it. Therefore, they couldn't eliminate the source immediately.
For example, the candidate who was ousted by Prime Minister Dou last time would definitely not let them off the hook after finding out the truth. Also, the potential competitors that Prime Minister Dou usually attacked were all suspects.
Before they could figure out how to crack down on the social media accounts that publicized the video of the First Lady, the video had already spread like wildfire across the country. The number of reposts was shockingly high, and it instantly became a hot topic in society.
The TV stations, newspapers, and magazines could no longer hold it in and refused to let go of this craze.
Within a few days, the news of the Prime Minister's daughter and the Prime Minister's wife conspiring to abuse their power for personal gain spread through the media.
This news was very subtle. It didn't mention the specifics, but only made groundless accusations that the Prime Minister's wife had asked her subordinate to abuse his power for personal gain, which led to serious consequences.
Now the subordinate was arrested and imprisoned, and the Prime Minister's daughter was sentenced to life imprisonment, but the instigator, the Prime Minister's wife, was still free.
Coupled with the video of the Prime Minister's wife kowtowing to the Prime Minister's wife in the orphanage, the public was shocked.
"I didn't expect you to be this kind of Prime Minister!"
"If a prince breaks the law, he will be punished the same as a commoner. Moreover, the Prime Minister is elected by the voters. Does he really think he's a superior emperor?"
"He wants to be an emperor? Does he deserve it?!"
The ability of the infuriated public to expose others was limitless.
Soon, Prime Minister Dou and the Prime Minister's wife's family was turned upside down. Many clues that they had missed during the election were connected. Looking at Prime Minister Dou again, he was a living hypocrite.
"He's Yue Buqun! He should be called Dou Buqun! "
The famous hypocrite in literature, Yue Buqun, became Prime Minister Dou's nickname.
For the next few days, Prime Minister Dou was in a terrible fix. He was almost forced to resign by the Senate.
That night, he returned home dejectedly. Looking at the luxurious Prime Minister's official residence, he thought about how his life's work and dreams were about to be completely destroyed by this incident. He was so sad that he drank alone in the kitchen.
His youngest daughter, Dou Aiyan, quietly walked in and sat opposite him. She asked in a low voice, "Daddy, if this situation worsens, what will the consequences be?"
"Worsens? Can it get any worse?! Your daddy is about to be forced to resign by the Senate! " Prime Minister Dou poured himself a glass of whiskey. Strong liquor could always numb a person's nerves. It could temporarily avoid the consequences.
Dou Aiyan was shocked.
If her daddy was forced to resign, what else did she have?
She was no longer the Prime Minister's beloved daughter. No one would support her when she went out.
At this moment, she was very dissatisfied with her sister. She was too headstrong. For her so-called "love", she had almost destroyed the whole family.
The depressed Dou Aiyan couldn't sleep at night. She called Wen Shouyi and poured out her troubles. She said sadly, "Professor Wen, you know about our family's situation now, right? Sigh, my mommy is really innocent. It's all my sister's fault … if it wasn't for her, our family wouldn't be in this predicament. "
Wen Shouyi listened quietly to Dou Aiyan's complaints. She said quietly, "I'm also responsible for this. If I hadn't persuaded your sister to come back and bring her back, your family wouldn't be in this situation. At the end of the day, it's all men's fault. Aiyan, you see, men can be so cruel when they have a change of heart. Their hearts are as hard as steel … "
"You mean, Major General Huo?" Dou Aiyan frowned. "But Major General Huo never liked my sister. It was my sister who threw herself at him, but he didn't want her. "
She punched the bed angrily. "Do you have any shame?!"
"Haha, Aiyan, you're too young. Do you really think that if Major General Huo really didn't have any feelings for your sister, your sister would love him to death? When it comes to love, it takes two hands to clap. "Wen Shouyi reminded Dou Aiyan earnestly.
Dou Aiyan was silent for a while. She still shook her head. "No, Professor Wen, you don't know my sister. She's such a one-sided person. It's not like she didn't know Major General Huo didn't like her. Otherwise, why would she commit suicide by cutting her wrist and steal photos to leave the country?"
"Huh? Your sister committed suicide? " Wen Shouyi wasn't very clear about the details of Dou Qingyan and Huo Shaoheng's relationship all those years ago.
"Of course, I was only 12 at the time, but I remember it clearly. She first asked my dad to go to the military to get Major General Huo to take up a position in my dad's cabinet. The military wouldn't let him go, so she went to see Major General Huo and wanted him to personally ask for a transfer. Major General Huo thought she was crazy and kicked her out. A lot of people saw it at the time. She was embarrassed, so she cut her wrist and committed suicide. She still has a scar on her wrist. Didn't you see it, Professor Wen? "
Wen Shouyi suddenly remembered that Dou Qingyan always wore a flat, wide gold bracelet on her wrist. So it was to hide the scar.
"What a pitiful person." Wen Shouyi sighed. She said gently to Dou Aiyan, "Aiyan, she's your sister. You can't help her. No matter how displeased you are, you can't say it in front of others, understand?"
"I know, I'm just complaining to Professor Wen. I won't say it in front of outsiders. I really don't know what to do, so I wanted to ask for your advice. Professor Wen, you're a great lawyer in the United States. Can you help my mom send a lawyer's letter? "Dou Aiyan immediately tried to get on Wen Shouyi's good side.
She actually wanted Wen Shouyi to be her mom's defense lawyer and send a lawyer's letter to the unscrupulous media that slandered her family.
