After the emperor read Tingzheng's excerpt of self-defense, he couldn't help laughing, and then showed it to the imperial historian who impeached Tingzheng.

The imperial historian looked at Tingzheng's self-defense fold, and then looked at the attached evidence, and he had nothing to say. It's just that the Imperial Doctor said that he had never seen such an idiot lady in charge. Having such a daughter is also embarrassing, and it makes him waste time.

Xiang Wei came back from outside to inquire about the news, and her face was gloomy.

Yue Yao looked at Xiang Wei's appearance, and her heart jumped out in fright: "So, Ting Zheng really ......" The four words of corruption and bribery Yue Yao really can't say it.

Xiang Wei was still thinking at this time, if she had seen something stupid, she had never seen someone so stupid. She still doesn't know how to evaluate Lin Qinghan.

Yue Yao's whole body was weak, leaned back in the chair, and said anxiously and angrily: "There is no shortage of money at home, how can he do such a self-destructive thing!" I worked hard to train him to become a talent, and as a result, he was planted in tens of thousands of taels of silver......"

Seeing this, Xiang Wei hurriedly said: "No, Tingzheng is not corrupt and bribery, don't worry." ”

Yueyao turned sadness into joy: "Really? Seeing Xiang Wei, Yueyao nodded and stroked her chest. After Yueyao calmed down, she became angry:

"Since Ting Zheng has not been corrupt and bribed, who are you going to show such a dead look? Are you trying to scare me to death? ”

Xiang Wei felt a little wronged: "I didn't mean to. She was just angry, and then she didn't say it in time.

Yue Yao quickly came back to her senses: "What the hell is going on?" Tell me about it. Since Ting Zheng was not corrupt and took bribes, what happened to so much jewelry and that coral tree? "Yue Yao still doesn't believe that the coral tree was bought by Tingzheng, without him, such a good coral tree is not only very valuable, but also difficult to find.

Xiang Wei glanced at Yueyao and said, "I'm telling you, don't be angry. ”

Yue Yao sighed: "What does this have to do with me?" "As long as Ting Zheng is not corrupt and bribed, even if Ting Zheng really bought it, she has nothing to be angry about.

Xiang Wei sighed and said, "This coral tree, as well as the few hard-to-find gems and diamonds that Lin Qinghan got from the Treasure Pavilion, were not bought by Tingzheng, but Wu Daquan asked Tingzheng to help transfer them to you." "The person who An Zhichen partnered with someone to do business in Haikou was Wu Daquan, and Xiang Wei also knew this.

Yue Yao was stunned: "Wu Daquan brought me?" After speaking, Yueyao suddenly remembered something and said, "I remember that He Yue told me before that he wanted to collect more good things and give Kexin as a dowry in the future." ”

Xiang Wei snorted, what does this mean, why did you get involved with Kexin?

Yueyao thought of a possibility: "You said that there is such a possibility, He Yueyou wrote to Wu Daquan and asked him to help collect some good things." This red coral tree and those gems must have been found with the help of Wu Daquan, now that Haikou is fighting, the road is not very smooth, Wu Daquan probably heard that the Lin family was going back to Beijing, so he handed over the things to Tingzheng and asked the Lin family to help bring them back? "This is the most likely, otherwise Ting Zheng would not be able to get out of it.

Xiang Wei frowned and said, "No matter how stupid the Lin family is, it is impossible for them to be stupid enough to take Kexin's things for themselves and then give them away, right?" She wouldn't be so cheeky. Even if she doesn't think about herself, she should think about the Lin family. "This is not a loss of the Lin family's face, this is a loss of the Lin family's face.

Yue Yao felt that there was a misunderstanding here: "Didn't the Lin family say that this red coral tree was a gift that Ting Zheng bought for Mrs. Lin's fiftieth birthday?" I think it may be that the Lin family didn't know that this thing was for Kexin. "If Lin Qinghan didn't take out the red coral tree in front of everyone in front of everyone, the matter would be solved privately at most. Now that this matter has come out, my aunt has taken my niece's things, not only Lin Qinghan has lost face, but even the Lin family has also been embarrassed.

Although Xiang Wei hated Lin Qinghan, she didn't think that the Lin family would be so stupid, I was afraid that there was really some misunderstanding here.

That night, Tingzheng's handwritten letter arrived in Yueyao's hands. After reading the letter, Yueyao didn't know whether to be angry or laugh.

Things were indeed as Yue Yao guessed, Wu Daquan got An Zhichen's instructions and helped collect some rare things. But there was nothing in the capital, so An Zhichen's entrustment stumped Wu Daquan. Fortunately, at the beginning of the year, Wu Daquan saw this red coral tree by chance, such a large red coral tree was a rare thing in the Great Yuan Dynasty, so Wu Daquan bought it at that time. Originally, Wu Daquan was going to send the red coral trees to the capital together with the dividends at the end of the year, but he didn't want Haikou to fight. As soon as there is a war, business in Haikou will not be easy to do, and the road will not be safe. Wu Daquan learned that Tingzheng's wife was going back to Beijing, so he asked Tingzheng to ask the Lin family to bring things back to the capital. In addition to the red coral tree, the other gems and diamonds are not rare, but they are gifts from Wu Daquan to Kexin.

Ting Zheng took the things home, and before he could tell Lin Qinghan that this thing was Yueyao's, he was called back to the barracks. It just so happened that Lin Qinghan returned to Beijing the next day, and Ting Zheng was busy fighting all day long, so where do you remember this incident. As for Wu Daquan, he wrote a letter to Beijing, but because there was a war along the coast, it was very normal for ordinary letters to be lost.

After reading the letter, Xiang Wei rarely didn't scold Lin Qinghan: "It's really a coincidence." ”

Yueyao's opinion is different from Xiang Wei's: "Do you think it's a coincidence?" I don't think the Lin family cares about Tingzheng at all, and they don't know who their husband is at all. Even he knew that Ting Zheng was not a big spender, how could such a person spend thousands of taels of silver to buy an ornamental item for his mother-in-law's birthday.

Xiang Wei helped Ting Zheng speak: "Ting Zheng said in the letter that Lin Qinghan told him before returning to Beijing that Mrs. Lin was about to celebrate her fiftieth birthday, and asked him to find a birthday gift. It was because of this that Lin Qinghan misunderstood that this thing was prepared by Tingzheng. If you want to say, you can only blame this for being too coincidental. ”

Yue Yao sneered: "Before the Lin clan returned to Beijing, Haikou was at war. Do you think that in that case, Ting Zheng still has the heart to prepare a birthday gift for his mother-in-law? "As long as people with a normal mind know that they are going to go to the battlefield to fight, not to mention their mother-in-law's 50th birthday, even their own mother's 50th birthday will not have time and mood to prepare congratulatory gifts.

Xiang Wei thought for a while and felt that what Yue Yao said made sense: "It may be that Lin Qinghan is taking it for granted." cough, you said, the information I found that day showed that Lin Qinghan was good in everything, why did he seem to be a different person when he got married? ”

Yueyao felt that Xiang Wei was too careless: "The main thing is that you believe in the news you heard too much." Think about it, the Lin family is such a girl, and she naturally has a smooth life at home. In this case, the performance is naturally good, and the situation you find is naturally good. But after getting married, there are many things encountered, and the true temperament is revealed. ”

Lin Qinghan is a single woman, and when she was in the Lin family, the Lin family's personnel and affairs followed her and depended on her, and everything was as she wanted. This is nothing, there are many pampered only daughters, not only Lin Qinghan, but the other girls are doing well in their husbands' families. As for Lin Qinghan, it was mainly because Ting Zheng showed that he liked her very much from the beginning, and he didn't marry her. Ting Zheng's performance filled Lin Qinghan with a sense of superiority, and in this case, she knew that Yue Yao didn't like her, and she didn't even allow Ting Zheng to marry her, so she naturally resented Yue Yao. This resentment did not dissipate because of Yueyao's concession, but because of Tingzheng's respect for Yueyao, she became more and more disgusted with Yueyao. Until Lin Qinghan knew that she probably wouldn't be able to have another child, she blamed all her misfortunes on Yueyao. Lin Qinghan thinks that all her misfortunes are brought by Yueyao.

Xiang Wei asked, "Then what now?" ”

Yueyao didn't care. As long as Tingzheng didn't do anything to break the law, she didn't bother to pay attention to Lin Qinghan and the people of the Lin family: "What should I do?" What does this have to do with me? "If you want her to help clean up the mess, that's impossible.

Xiang Wei was not so kind to let Yueyao help clean up the mess: "I mean, Ting Zheng married such a person, what can he do in the future." You haven't thought about anything else? Xiang Wei said it very vaguely, but she believed that Yueyao could understand her words.

Yueyao's eyes flashed, and she said very calmly: "This is Tingzheng's own housework, and it is inconvenient for me to interfere." ”

Xiang Wei knew more about Yueyao, and when she saw Yueyao's expression, she knew that she already had an idea in her heart, but it was not time to tell her yet. Xiang Wei was afraid that Yueyao would endure it all the time, but now that Yueyao's attitude made her more satisfied, she didn't talk about it anymore.

Yue Yao didn't publicize this matter, it doesn't mean that outsiders don't know. This matter, under the impetus of the good deeds, quickly spread out.

When Mrs. Lin got the news, her first reaction was not to believe it: "How is this possible?" How could the red coral tree be the daughter of the An family? ”

Lin Daren was annoyed: "The son-in-law has made it clear in the self-defense fold presented to the emperor that the red coral tree was found by Lord An and his friend for his daughter, and it was intended to be used as a dowry for Miss An. "Today he was ridiculed by everyone.

Mrs. Lin was stunned: "How can this be?" "In the excerpt to the emperor, it must be true, otherwise it is a crime of deception. But the problem is that if this incident is true, the Lin family will be embarrassed.

Lord Lin snorted coldly: "Fortunately, my son-in-law said in the excerpt that he didn't make it clear, which caused today's misunderstanding." You hurry up and take it to An's house to apologize to Mrs. An! ”

Of course, Mrs. Lin didn't dare to stop: "I'll go now." Naturally, Mrs. Lin couldn't go to Anfu first, but went to find Lin Qinghan and asked Lin Qinghan to follow her to apologize to Yueyao quickly.

Lin Qinghan didn't believe Mrs. Lin's words at all: "Mother, are you mistaken?" How could this red coral tree be homed? ”

Mrs. Lin remembered that what her husband said was a misunderstanding, and she also sighed and said, "Your father told me personally, this is still false, you go with me to apologize to Mrs. An." It's a misunderstanding, and I don't think Mrs. Ann will bother with us. ”

Lin Qinghan didn't want to go, but in this case, she couldn't help but go. This is not just her own business, it is also about her mother's family.
