Wu Zhengmao has always been known for his uprightness and clarity in judging cases.

However, he is in a high position, so he can only judge those cases that are handed over to him, and as for the many cases reported by those states and counties, it is impossible for him to handle them one by one.

However, since the emperor said so, it seems that he has made up his mind to clear up the unjust prison, Wu Zhengmao naturally agreed, and he was silently relieved in his heart.

Back home, Mrs. Wu also heard about this incident and was very worried:

"Master, this matter is big and big, and small is small, but even if you redress an unjust prison, you will always offend people!"

"What's the point of offending people? Have I offended fewer people over the years?"

There are so many royal relatives and powerful children in the capital, and there are people who commit crimes from time to time, and to be a righteous Dali Temple Zhengqing is an errand that offends people, and Wu Zhengmao doesn't care at all.

He was very pleased with the emperor's appointment.

"There are so many criminal officials in the Criminal Department, if the emperor is even the slightest dissatisfied with me, he will not hand over this heavy matter to me. Since it was handed over to me, it is enough to show that the emperor values it, and I can be completely relieved about the previous incident. ”

Mrs. Wu didn't say anything anymore, and she also knew what her husband said in the past.

Although the identity of the emperor shows that he is the son of the concubine of King Qin, he must be inseparable from the original He family.

At the beginning, the seventh master of the He family was sent to prison by the deposed emperor, and the five langs of the He family also begged to come to the door, but the master turned him away and refused to see him.

If you are a shrewd person, you can naturally think that the master is doing this to avoid suspicion, but if you meet someone who is more serious, it must be that you think that the master deliberately refused, for fear of getting into trouble.

Although in the end, the seventh master of the He family was acquitted and returned to Yuzhou, but this matter became a knot in the master's heart.

Now that the emperor can entrust the lord with such a heavy responsibility, it is a good thing to think about it.

Mrs. Wu was relieved and told Wu Zhengmao about the marriage of her third son.

"If it is decided today, the marriage of the third child can not be delayed any longer, I look at the ladies in the capital, there are few suitable ones, either there are people, or they are too young to match. ”

"Recently, I heard from the official media that the eldest lady of Zhongyi Bofu has not yet decided on someone, the eldest lady of Zhongyi Bofu, I saw it at the palace banquet two days ago, except that she is not as cheerful as before, it still looks good. ”

"The Zhongyi Mansion has always been the same as the Weiguo Mansion, and I think it is also deeply favored by the emperor, I look at this family well, what does the lord think?"

"Zhongyi Bofu?"

Wu Zhengmao thought about it and refused:

"It's okay for a woman from anyone's family, but it's definitely not a woman from a loyal and righteous uncle's family!"

"Why, what did the lord say this, could it be that there is something wrong with the eldest lady of the loyal and righteous uncle's family?"

Mrs. Wu was taken aback.

Usually talking about whose family, I have never seen the master look so categorical.

Wu Zhengmao didn't want to hide from his wife what he knew, but he didn't want to talk about the loyal and righteous lady behind his back, completely ruining her reputation, so he said vaguely:

"It's hard to say if there's anything wrong, it's just that I heard that Uncle Zhongyi's family has other plans for her family, so don't go and get involved with his family. ”

As soon as Wu Zhengmao said this, Mrs. Wu thought of going elsewhere and had other plans...... Is this going to be going to the head of the royal family?

Also, now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, when everything is stable, the eyes of the world should be on the emperor's harem.

After all, as the king of a country, there is only one queen in the harem, and it is really a little space.

However, Mrs. Wu remembered the queen mother who was attacked by Mrs. Fang as "jealous", and sincerely felt that the abacus of Zhongyi Bofu might not be able to start.

It's a pity that Mrs. Zhang doesn't think so, she still thinks that the key to this matter is that the sister-in-law has always been unable to distinguish between relatives and aliens.

Otherwise, if the Weiguo Mansion wants to send someone to the palace, can the emperor still want it?

From the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, when she saw Bai Chenghuan's smiling eyes, she felt that her mind had been guessed through, and it was obvious that Bai Chenghuan would never be willing.

The Zhang family was sulky, except for complaining in his heart that Bai Chenghuan was too jealous and tried to dominate the harem, there was nothing he could do.

After thinking about it, she could only make a good calculation, first find a way to rebuild the old friendship with her sister-in-law, Duchess Weiguo, and then slowly plan.

On the second day of the New Year's Day banquet on the second day of the partial birth, Wei Guogong's family did not appear at all, and in the second year of the new year, Xu Chenglin, the son of Wei Guogong and Xu Chengle, who should have come to Zhongyi Bofu in previous years, did not come at all.

She complained to her husband that her sister-in-law had become the Duchess of the Kingdom, and there was no one in her eyes, but she was secretly frightened, thinking that the sister-in-law was seriously angry with her, and she would not come and go if she didn't communicate.

But isn't it okay to have a Boxing Eve exchange?

After waiting for two more days, not only did no one go to the door of the Zhongyi Mansion, but even the two sons of the Loyal and Righteous Uncle, who returned to Beijing for the New Year, went to the Weiguo Mansion to vote for the post.

Zhongyibo was very worried about his sister and brother-in-law, thinking if something was wrong, but Zhang stopped first:

"What are you anxious about, such a big Weiguo Mansion, just a few of their masters, if there is really something wrong, how can there be no news at all? You are in such a hurry to go to the door, and people will not take you as a big brother in their eyes!

After persuading her husband, Zhang didn't dare to tell him about the quarrel between herself and her sister-in-law, so she could only think about finding a way to make up for it.

On weekdays, the Zhang family believed that she was her mother's sister-in-law, and she would definitely not bow her head to Duchess Weiguo first, but at this time, she couldn't help it.

She hurriedly ordered someone to inquire around, but the news she got was that the Duke and his wife of Weiguo took their son Xu Chenglin out of Beijing to burn incense in Beishan Temple.

Zhang's inexplicable:

"At this time, don't you want to stay in the capital to prepare for the New Year's feast, what kind of incense to burn? Could it be that except for our family, the other relatives and relatives don't plan to move around?"

The old customs of the capital, after the New Year, the relatives of each family, are taking turns to invite the New Year's dinner, such a hot family as the Weiguo Mansion, almost to be busy until the first month, this time to close the house, it is really strange.

Zhang thought about it and called his eldest son, Shi Meng:

"Since your aunt and their family have gone to Beishan Temple to offer incense, let's go too!

Shi Meng was not at home all the year round, and he listened to his mother for all the affairs at home, so he ordered someone to prepare a car without saying a word, and escorted the Zhang family all the way to Beishan Temple.

In Beishan Temple, now Yuanhui is not there, but the rules are still the old rules, you are not allowed to take a sedan car on the mountain, you can only walk up the stone steps in the mountain step by step.

Zhang's tired legs hurt, so he climbed up, but who knew that when he arrived at the mountain gate, he was stopped by Xiao Shami.

"Madame is tired, but recently, Beishan Temple has done things and does not accept pilgrims, so Madame, please go back. ”

Zhang's eyes widened:

"Doing things? No one can let you not receive pilgrims at such a festival!

"The person who does the work is the Weiguo Mansion, so as not to disturb the undead, Madame should please go back. ”

"It's the Weiguo Mansion doing things...... Is it for Empress Xiaoyuan?"

Zhang subconsciously thought that the sister-in-law was thinking of her lost daughter Cheng Huan again, and deliberately came to do things.

Thinking of the sad incident of the sister-in-law, Zhang's heart was quite uncomfortable.

The little novice doesn't say anything:

"Why is it that people do things, it is not good for outsiders, and I ask the donor to forgive me. ”

Zhang said:

"I am also a relative of the Weiguo Mansion, and I am also involved in the deceased, so please let the little master report it. ”

Xiao Shami was newly transferred to the front of the mountain gate, and he didn't recognize Zhang, so he looked at her a few times, but turned around and went in to make a report.

When Xu Chenglin heard that the Zhang family was coming, he immediately refused.

The Duchess of Weiguo, who was sincerely kneeling in front of the Buddha and chanting, suddenly turned around:

"Why, do you want to continue to cover it up at this time?"

Xu Chenglin was stunned:

"Mother, Cheng Huan is no longer a non-existent person, do you still want to inform your relatives about this?"

"What do you mean is that everything dies when people die...... However, if you keep her out at this time, will this matter be completely covered up?"

Duchess Weiguo stood up, as if she could see the soul of her innocent young son disperse with the green smoke of incense and candles.

Her grief and anger weighed down on her heart.

She knelt in front of the Buddha for a whole day and a night to pray for the blessing of the dead child, when she suddenly stood up and was about to fall, Xu Chenglin and Mama Gao stepped forward to support her.

Duchess Weiguo waved her hand tiredly:

"Don't worry, I won't make a fuss, what if I make a fuss? Go ahead and call her in. ”

Xu Chenglin could only go.

Mama Gao helped Duchess Weiguo slowly move around the hall a few times, and the incense candles and cigarette ashes scattered all over the hall choked the master and servant both coughed.

Mama Gao hurriedly helped Duchess Weiguo to sit down in the side hall, poured her tea and drank two sips, and Duchess Weiguo's breath calmed down.

"Madame, do you want to wash up first, have a fast, and then see your uncle?"

Mama Gao cautiously persuaded.

Duchess Weiguo refused:

"No need, I can hold on. ”

Mama Gao lowered her head, not daring to look at the eyes of Duchess Weiguo:

"Ma'am, actually...... It's not the fault of Miss Three......"

"Don't talk about her to me again. ”

Master and servant for decades, Mama Gao opened her mouth, and Duchess Weiguo knew what she wanted to say.

But at this time, she didn't want to hear anyone mention the daughter she had pampered for more than ten years, and she couldn't wait to dig out her heart and lungs for her.

Whether it's her fault or not, it's no longer her daughter.

Mama Gao could only sigh and swallow back the rest of the words.

Madame is angry in her heart, and it is impossible to calm it down for a while.

When Zhang entered the main hall, he was first choked and coughed for a while, and then through a cloud of green smoke, he suddenly saw the haggard Duchess of Weiguo, and was startled by the solid:

"Yuzhen, you, what's wrong with you?"

Although the two quarreled and were angry, the friendship between the sister-in-law in the past few decades was not fake, and seeing that the sister-in-law suddenly became like this, Zhang's heart was also worried.

Duchess Weiguo propped her head and waved her hand, looking too sad and unwilling to speak.

When Zhang saw her like this, he only thought that she missed Empress Xiaoyuan too much.

The Zhang family couldn't help but feel sad, and the remaining competitive and competitive hearts suddenly dissipated.

She sat down beside the Duchess of Weiguo and gently put her arms around her shoulders as she had done decades ago when the Duchess of Weiguo was still in her boudoir.

"Yuzhen, I know that Cheng Huan is gone, you feel sad, you do things for her, always think of her, and even treat the current queen mother as her to pamper, these are not out of line. But you can't make yourself suffer like this!"

"Although Cheng Lin is engaged, this daughter-in-law has not yet married into the door, Wei Guogong has lived with you all his life, and he has always treated you well, you are sad, you have to take care of it, but don't ...... hurt the relationship between husband and wife. ”

Zhang's euphemism was tactful, but Mama Gao heard it clearly on the side, which was exactly what she was worried about.

Wei Guogong is now further advanced than before, with a higher position and more power.

Although Aunt Zhu, who was favored in the past, is now completely out of favor, no one can guarantee whether there will be another descendant and endanger the status of Mrs. Zhu.

Mrs. is blindly immersed in sadness, and even now there are faint signs of falling out with Grandpa Guo, which is really not a good thing.

So Mama Gao didn't stop Zhang from mentioning the word "Cheng Huan".

“…… You used to be the most sensible person, but now that Cheng Huan has been gone for almost two years, it's time for you to accept your sadness, even if Cheng Huan is still there, isn't she sad to see you like this?"

Zhang patiently persuaded her, but Duchess Weiguo was full of sorrow again because she repeatedly mentioned the word "Cheng Huan".

Since learning this unbearable truth, except for Mama Gao, she has not seen anyone, and she has not listened to anyone's persuasion.

But at this moment, she couldn't help but lie on Zhang's shoulder and cry again:

"Sister-in-law...... I know what you say, but you don't know how bitter I am in my heart!"

Mama Gao's heart suddenly rose high, Madame still wants to make a fuss about this matter?

At the time of childbirth, the child died, and was dropped by the mother-in-law and sister-in-law, and mistakenly spoiled the daughter of unknown origin for more than ten years, and married her into the royal family

Empress Xiaoyuan no longer exists, and she will be talked about in the future, and the biggest damage to her reputation is the Weiguo Mansion!

What's more, if it is really as Zhan Shichun said, the third miss is actually the illegitimate daughter of him and Empress Qiao, then marrying the third miss to the abolished emperor that day is a blood relative...... If it weren't for the death of the third lady, Concubine Shu's conspiracy would almost have succeeded!

If it was known, who would believe that this was just a conspiracy of Concubine Shu's madness?

And Mrs. Zhongyibo is obviously not a 10% reliable person!

After weighing it, Mama Gao gritted her teeth and almost stepped forward to persuade Duchess Weiguo, but she heard Duchess Weiguo continue to cry:

"Why don't I care about all kinds of things, and I can't give up this heart...... Otherwise, I really want to die and go with my miserable child!"

"Okay, okay, I know you're sad, but you can't have such thoughts!"

Zhang naturally thought that this "child" referred to Empress Xiaoyuan, and it was another burst of comfort, but Duchess Weiguo just cried and refused to say anything.

Mama Gao breathed a sigh of relief and burst into tears.

Madame was still sane in the end, and she was not completely carried away by the pain. 2k reading web
