Chapter 777: Injustice
"But, but ......"
Xu Chengru was a little speechless for a while, she knew that it was wrong for her brother to do this, but she didn't know how to refute it.
When she thought of the anger that her grandmother might have, she still felt sad.
Seeing that Xu Chengru's face had become so ugly, Xu Chengle softened his tone towards this sister-in-law who still took care of him a little on weekdays:
"Eldest sister, in fact, I also want to share my mother's worries, if Shi Wanrou insists on not choosing, the fate of Zhongyibo, you know. This is also a helpless way, if my mother blames, please ask my eldest sister to say a few more good words for me. β
Xu Chengru lowered his head, and he didn't know what to say.
Yes, in that situation at that time, which one to choose, Miss Zhongyi Bo will not be better in the future than marrying into the Weiguo Mansion.
At least, Xu Chengle's future is in the hands of his father, and Miss Zhongyi's aunt is the lady in charge of the Weiguo Mansion.
Even if Miss Zhongyi becomes the wife of a concubine, it is countless times better than the wife of someone else's concubine.
"Mother, where are you now, and what about your father?"
When she heard the news at home, she knew something was wrong.
She hurriedly left her son and rushed to the Weiguo Mansion, but her father and mother, including the eldest brother, did not see any of them, only the emperor sat in the main hall of the Weiguo Mansion, so frightened that she could only salute in a hurry, and hurriedly retreated.
The corners of Xu Chengle's mouth suddenly appeared with an indescribable smile:
"Mother naturally didn't believe it, she went to Zhongyi Bofu, and my father was not at home today. When the emperor came, he wanted to see his mother, and the eldest brother could only go and ask his father and mother to come back. β
So that's it......
Xu Chengru silently glanced at Xu Chengle.
In the past, when he went out to find someone, Xu Chengle should have go, and it was the eldest brother Xu Chenglin who did the work of receiving the emperor, but now it is ...... Is the emperor here to support Xu Chengle?
The concubine who used to be humble everywhere stood in front of her at this time, she was panicked, but his eyes were shining.
The emperor can actually do this to the Weiguo Mansion - is it because the cunning rabbit is dead and the lackey cooks, and the world is stable, so he has to hide all the bows and arrows, or is it because of the disrespect of the Weiguo Mansion to the royal family in recent times?
What about Bai Chenghuan? Isn't she the most favored person by her mother-in-law except for Empress Xiaoyuan? How did she watch all this happen?
This point, not only Xu Chengru was puzzled, but Mama Gao, who was next to Duchess Weiguo, was also puzzled.
Queen Mother...... Even if she is not Madame's biological daughter, judging from her style of acting, how could the emperor agree to humiliate the Zhongyi Bofu so much?
But after listening to the prince and his wife about the spring banquet, Mama Gao only sighed.
This is no longer a matter that can be subject to the personal will of the queen.
slandering the prince of Chengen in front, and disrespecting the queen in public, whether it is calling the queen by her name, or pointing at the queen mother with a finger, this is a big crime that can easily raid the family and destroy the family.
And now, the Zhongyi Bofu only paid the price of his daughter's marriage, which was particularly gracious in the old example.
It's just that this incident hurt the face of the lady, and now the emperor has come to the door again, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse?
With Madame's mood at this moment, if she quarrels with the emperor again, it will be really ......
Mama Gao was worried all the way, and it was not until she got off the carriage that she saw that the previous anger faded from the face of Duchess Weiguo little by little.
The messy clothes and hair bun had already been cleaned up by Mama Gao on the road, and at this time, Duchess Weiguo's expression was terrifyingly calm, but her straight back and unruly pace also showed her unparalleled strength.
Duke Wei Guo was also urgently searched back, and he happened to meet Duchess Wei Guo in front of the mansion.
Duchess Wei Guo only glanced at Wei Guo Gong coldly, and then left him and entered the gate.
Wei Guogong also heard about this, so he hurried back from outside the city, but when he saw his wife's expression, he knew that it was terrible.
The concubine of the Zhongyi Bofu was given to marry his concubine - where did their Weiguo Mansion get this great "blessing"?
Today, several old friends specially asked him to go out for spring hunting, lest he be sad when he thought of Empress Xiaoyuan on the day of the Shangsi Festival, and when he heard this, he also congratulated him one by one, but which one did not have a flash of sympathy in his eyes?
Xu Chengle! Thinking of this concubine at this time, Wei Guogong only hated directly, why didn't he strangle him earlier?
Did he think it was a blessing? It was a curse!
The Zhongyi Bofu and the Weiguo Mansion have been in the same breath for so many years, and they are inseparable.
On the surface, this matter is that the Weiguo Mansion took advantage, but in fact, the Zhongyi Mansion was stepped on in the dust, and the Weiguo Mansion could not benefit from tearing its face with the Zhongyi Mansion?
In the future, as long as Shi Wanrou is in the Weiguo Mansion, this matter will be a thorn that cannot be eliminated, and it will always be in front of people's eyes, and the friendship between the Shi family and the Xu family will be completely impossible to return to the past!
Duke Wei endured the monstrous anger in his heart, and when he and Xu Chenglin changed their clothes and went to the main hall, Duchess Wei Guo was confronting the emperor with a cold expression.
Compared with the eyebrows that the Duchess of Weiguo almost raised, the emperor's pleasure was palpable.
ββ¦β¦ I knew that this incident must have hurt my wife's face, so I came to make amends to my wife in person, but Miss Shi was so disrespectful to the queen, if I was still indifferent, wouldn't my wife blame me?"
"How dare the courtiers blame the emperor, the emperor is the son of heaven, he can do whatever he wants, and make amends with the courtiers, the courtiers are really frightened! The majesty of the queen's mother is greater than the sky, and the royal face must also be maintained, and the courtiers have nothing to say!"
When Duke Wei walked in, the atmosphere between Duchess Wei Guo and the emperor could only be described as tense.
Although the emperor was still smiling, the Duchess of Weiguo was unmistakably strong against the Empress Dowager Xiaoxian.
I thought that the emperor would be furious when he heard such words, but he didn't expect the emperor to see Wei Guogong and Xu Chenglin entering, and he just waved his hand to let the two salutes flat.
Then he turned his head and looked through the wide windows of the main hall to the row of flowers and plants outside.
Looking past the row of flowers and plants, you can still see the sparkling lake of the Weiguo Mansion and the Huanyi Pavilion still standing by the lake.
"Grandpa and Mrs. Guo, do you remember the time when I first came to the capital, and I often came to your mansion? I love the house and Wu, I especially like everything in your house. β
The emperor's tone was melancholy with wisps of nostalgia, and even the "I" that represented status silently became an approachable "I".
Duke Wei Guo, Duchess Wei Guo, and Xu Chenglin, the three of them were stunned.
How can you forget? Of course, I remember it clearly.
At that time, Cheng Huan had just returned to them, and the joy and joy that all the grief and anger in their hearts had been instantly soothed was something they would never forget.
At that time, the biggest annoyance, in addition to pulling Xiao Shaoyun off the throne, was probably how to prevent this slippery prince of Qin from always sneaking in to find Cheng Huan.
But so what? What does it have to do with what is happening in front of you?
The three of them were confused, and when Xiao Shaotang's face turned around, the smile slowly faded.
"So, you should all know that I am at the spring banquet today, not only to protect the face of the royal family and the queen, but I am reluctant, the person I like with all my heart is bullied like that. β
"And you might as well think about it, what kind of reliance does a little daughter of the Loyal and Righteous Mansion have to rely on to dare to provoke and bully the queen I hold in the palm of my hand?"
The emperor's voice was still soft, but the hearts of the three people standing in front of him trembled.
What does Shi Wanrou rely on?
Needless to say......
They can't speak.
But the emperor ruthlessly revealed this truth:
"Because Shi Wanrou knows that no matter what you do, no matter what your relatives do, Cheng Huan will never really treat you as such!"
"We all know the reason, although I don't know, what are you for, smashing Cheng Huan, who you once held in the palm of your hand, apart, making her sad and sad, heartbroken and self-blamingββ"
"But I want to tell you that from now on, if anyone related to your Weiguo Mansion dares to hurt her and bully her, I will never be like this today, and this is the case!"
The emperor's voice did not carry the thunderous anger of the emperor, but it echoed in the ears of the Duchess of Weiguo, and it still couldn't help but make people's hearts flutter!
Duchess Weiguo's eyes were slightly red, but the look of anger did not fade from her face, and she still said strongly:
"The emperor's words are simply a crime that he wants to add to the trouble - the courtiers have never thought that let the queen take care of us, if the emperor is dissatisfied with what the courtiers have done, the courtiers will simply pay with their lives!"
"I don't want Cheng Huan to turn against me, what's in it for me to take your life?"
Xiao Shaotang sneered coldly and retorted mercilessly:
"Since you didn't want Cheng Huan to take care of you, why is Madam so angry? This matter can be said and let everyone in the world judge it, should you be grateful to Dade for such a result, or should you be as angry as you are now?"
"You still don't think, how can Cheng Huan do this, why didn't she stop me? That's why you are so angry, and even complain about us!"
"How dare a courtier speculate like this!"
Although she tried her best to disagree with the emperor's words in her heart, Duchess Weiguo still vaguely felt that there was a place in her heart, and she was deeply poked, and said sharply:
"Did the emperor ever know what happened?
"I don't know, and I don't want to know! I only know that even if Cheng Huan is sorry for anyone in this world, she has never been sorry for you in the slightest!"
"Otherwise, Madame thinks that you can be so loud and sound to me, and you can still be safe?
Xiao Shaotang stood up and asked angrily, and then felt that he had wasted enough time in the Weiguo Mansion.
"If you ask yourself that it is right to treat her like this now, you will not have the slightest guilt and self-reproach in your hearts, and then you should not break her heart like this in the future, and enjoy her favor at the same time!"
"Even if Cheng Huan is soft-hearted, I will not let her again, to a family like yours, lower herself to the dust!"
After speaking, he glanced at Wei Guogong, who had been beside him without saying a word:
"How to do things, I think Grandpa Guo knows it in his heart, I don't want to see it, the queen will be heartbroken for you again!"
After the emperor left, the main hall of the Weiguo Mansion was silent for a long time.
Between the emperor's words, he did not mention a word, nor did he propose to summon him, which inevitably made Xu Chengle, who was in the side hall, very disappointed.
But this loss passed quickly, and he knew that the emperor was just using him, not really valuing him.
As long as the emperor did not regret canceling this family business, it was a good thing for him.
And Xu Chengru, who was standing beside him, was almost trembling.
How so?
Last time in Beishan Temple, she saw that something was wrong, and knew that her family's love for Bai Chenghuan was not as good as before.
But she couldn't imagine that there was such a big gap between her mother and the queen!
And the emperor is coming today, is he actually here to threaten them?
Why? Why should such a steady backer be pushed away?
This is a queen who is loved by thousands of people, how can she say that she will turn her face?
Today, the Zhongyi Mansion has such a fate, more than half of the reason is self-inflicted evil, but there must also be a reason why the emperor no longer cares about the relatives of the Weiguo Mansion.
If this really angered the emperor, what should he do in the future?
Although she is a married daughter, she is also a relative of the Weiguo Mansion!
In a panic, a desolate and sharp cry suddenly came from the main hall.
Xu Chengru hurriedly rushed over, only to see his mother-in-law sitting on the ground, a person who is so strong on weekdays, but at this time, there were big teardrops sliding down her face, and the desolate and aging appearance was shocking.
"What does he know...... He doesn't even know about our heartache......"
As if to pour out a lifetime of grievances in this cry, the cry of Duchess Weiguo subsided after a long time.
In the palace, Bai Chenghuan looked for Xiao Shaotang everywhere, but no one dared to tell her where the emperor went.
"If you don't say it, this palace will order someone to pick your tesuji and throw you out of the palace!"
Bai Chenghuan, who was forced to be anxious, pretended to be fierce and viciously asked Sanxi.
Sanxi pitifully shrank and shrank into the corner:
"I don't know, I don't know if I'm killed by a lowly job!"
The two were at a stalemate, and suddenly someone from the palace came to report that the emperor had returned.
Bai Chenghuan ran over regardless of his manners, and grabbed Xiao Shaotang's dragon robe:
"Where have you been? Are you going to trouble someone else again?"
I have to say that the two are getting more and more connected, Xiao Shaotang touched his nose weakly, and he didn't dare to say that he was going to fight for her.
Quickly changed the subject:
"No, as long as others don't resist the will and don't rebel, who can I trouble now? By the way, I heard that Song Changqing has arrived in Beijing, and you have been telling me that this is a talent, do you want to go with me to meet him?"
Song Changqing?
Bai Chenghuan thought about it, but waved his hand and refused:
"You are the emperor, I want to see you, I am a harem woman, or I am gone. β
