Chapter 212: Pit Daddy
There was silence in the great hall.
After Mrs. Chen said those long words, she seemed to have lost interest in speaking again, and closed her eyes and didn't know what to think.
Shu Shi hated what Cheng Qian had done, and didn't want to look at her more, so he turned his gaze to the side, only Lin Wanwan looked at the girl kneeling in the middle and shed two lines of tears silently.
Is she remorseful or resentful?
Lin Wanwan couldn't quite be sure of what Cheng Qian was feeling at this time.
Jealousy can be maddening, and Xiao Chen is an example. But Cheng Qian is different from Xiao Chen, after all, Xiao Chen has gotten it, but she missed the happiness she wanted because of what she did.
If Cheng Qian hadn't met her, maybe she would have married her second cousin as she wished in her previous life, but she was not under anyone's control in this life, and even she who was willing to match them never thought that it would end like this.
Lin Wanwan was in a trance, remembering what she had been unable to understand before, what was the cause and what was the effect. Is it because she has changed, or is this the original truth of the matter, because she knew too little in her previous life?
"Miss, Apricot has something to ask for."
A crisp voice broke the silence of the room, and Lin Wan came back to his senses gracefully, got up and walked out with the two elders in confession.
After Cheng Qian left, she finally fell to the ground and cried bitterly.
Lin Wanwan listened to her confession of mistake with Mrs. Chen behind her, and thought that she should really regret it.
The two of them moved to the bottom of the corridor, and Xing'er whispered: "Miss, Su Sanye came secretly and said that he had a responsibility, and he couldn't say that Mrs. Hou came forward to help." And the matter has been exposed. β
Has the matter been exposed?
chewing the words again in his mouth, Lin Wanwan was stunned, and then understood again.
It was the Xia family who knew about her and Su Zhaoheng.
Lin Wanwan smiled silently and bitterly. She didn't hope that Su Zhaoyu would be able to move the Xia family.
The third room of the Hou Mansion is from the Xia step-mother-in-law, and this old lady Su will take a shelf against her if she has nothing to do, and she can't wait for an accident in the third room, how can she help solve it. Now that she knows about her and Su Zhaoheng, it is even more impossible to take the initiative to help each other, so she has been thinking about using the matter of the earrings to coerce Xia to help them take them out.
But now that she has a better plan with her grandfather, none of this is needed. Xia will take the initiative to clarify and not hold any grudges against her!
Lin Wanwan is confident. He commanded lightly: "If you have a way to contact Su Sanye, help me thank him, and tell him to wait and see." and let him hide this from your son. β
Xing'er lowered her head and thought about it, understanding that Lin Wanwan didn't want to worry about her master on the front line, so she glanced at her with a somewhat complicated expression, and then the respect in her eyes became even heavier.
Back in the hall. Wu Qian's crying had turned into sobbing, and Shu was helping Mrs. Chen get up from her seat.
"Grandmother, this is ......," Lin Wanwan came to the other side of the old man. Hold her hand.
Old Madam Chen's hands were a little cold, and there was a gloomy color hidden between her eyebrows. "I'll take her back to my house, and let people send her back to Liaodong now."
In the end, it was still for the sake of Vice General Cheng's life and death to follow Master Chen, and Mrs. Chen could only deal with it if she was angry. After all, you can't really chill the hearts of the generals.
Lin Wanwan had already guessed that this was the end, and she was not surprised: "Grandmother, don't bother too much, take care of your body." β
"I know." Old Madam Chen patted her hand. "Why bother with irrelevant people, it's just that they have wronged you."
Wu Qian, who was lagging behind, trembled when she heard this. His eyes stabbed straight at Lin Wanwan's back like a knife.
Lin Wanwan pursed her lips and smiled, looking relaxed. "You are in pain, and I am not aggrieved at all."
Old Madam Chen also smiled at this time, and motioned for Shu Shi to call someone to take Wu Qian away, Shu Shi glanced at Lin Wanwan with apologetic eyes, turned around and ordered.
Wu Qian, who was dragged by the strong servant of the Chen Mansion, who had been quiet for a while, cried again, and the little three-legged cat kung fu on her body couldn't be used, so she was directly dragged out.
When she arrived in the courtyard, a servant woman Xu thought she was too noisy, so she directly gagged her with a handkerchief, and after a few struggles, Wu Qian was dragged away like a frosted eggplant.
Mrs. Chen and her entourage left, and the people in the front yard hall Dali Temple also said goodbye, and repeatedly promised Mrs. Lin that they would definitely give an explanation.
Ordered someone to send people away, Old Lady Lin went back to Mozhuju directly, Lin Wanwan was already like a person who was fine, and was setting up a chessboard with his brother, Lin Haohong was gently playing a fan and preparing to watch the battle.
These days, Mrs. Lin no longer regularly asks questions to her two grandsons, but often confronts the two of them, talking about state affairs and politics, as well as the connections he knew in the early years in Beijing.
When the three brothers and sisters saw Mrs. Lin coming, they were busy saluting.
"Playing chess? Isn't it difficult for your brother at your level? Old Lady Lin stopped and walked to the big kang opposite and sat down.
The brothers laughed when they heard this, and Lin Wanwan pursed his lips: "Grandfather, are you done?" You're going to have a lot of things to do. β
As if he didn't understand that this was to scold him, Mrs. Lin called Qingzhu to fetch the tea set, and he wanted to make tea by himself.
Seeing that he was not in a hurry at all, Lin Wanwan was even less anxious, the meal had to be eaten in one bite, and things would always fall into place. So he was even more relieved to play chess with his brother and spend half an afternoon.
***
Master Susan's people didn't find out anything about his son's whereabouts on the first day, they only knew that he left with two personal guards, and even the housekeeper of the third room didn't know when he left the mansion.
On the first day, Master Su San spent the anxiety of looking for his son and waiting for King Rui to reply.
The next day, Su Zhaohua's bribery to destroy Lin Wanwan's reputation has spread throughout the capital, and there are different opinions about it.
Among them, some people say that the third room of the Su family had fallen in love with Lin Guanwan before, but who knew that something happened to Su Zhaohua before the eight characters were brushed, and I was afraid that if he became a waste, the Lin family would definitely not be willing. So Su Zhaohua's temperament was distorted, and he grafted his unhappiness and hatred onto Lin Wanwan, wanting to destroy it and force her to marry again.
Some people say that it was an object that Su Zhaohua casually found, but after the instigation of Mrs. Lin, some noblewomen have connected the earrings with the attack on Mrs. Su's birthday, and they have speculated that the earrings were actually the bane left by the chaos at that time.
This rumor spread secretly in the circle of noble women, how many noble ladies and daughters participated at that time, and now how many noble daughters are panicking, for fear that what they have dropped will not come out the next day. and to be discredited.
And the next day, Su Zhaohua still had no whereabouts, and King Rui gave Su San Master only four words to reply, waiting to see what happened.
There has been a rumor outside, his son has been rumored to be a heinous criminal, and Dali Temple has pressured him twice a day, how can he calm down?!
Su San was so hot that his mouth was foaming. I can't sleep at night. Wu's was even more **** to wash his face with tears, almost crying blind, and Mrs. Su was sick and couldn't get out of bed.
The third room of the Su family was suddenly covered with clouds that did not disperse.
Su Zhaoyu was frightened by Xia's excitement. He only secretly watched things change, but he received a message from the county lord of Changping that day, and after knowing that the earring matter was discussed by everyone, he knew that his mother was already passive. They are afraid that they will no longer be able to watch this matter.
It came to the third day. Growing.
Dali Temple couldn't find Su Zhaohua, and Mrs. Lin put pressure on her several times. Luo Hao's testimony, as always, pressed the Shaoqing of Dali Temple and couldn't do it, so he had to make it clear to the emperor.
At the same time, what people didn't expect was that Lin Hongzhi had three excerpts in one day. The third master of the Su Dynasty acted in a row and knelt outside the palace of diligence to beg the emperor to be the master.
Originally, there was a moderate matter in the middle, and it was all put on the most obvious side all of a sudden, and the Lin family wanted to say the law!
There are witnesses. Liu Si also confessed, and the main culprit was nowhere to be found. The next verdict of Dali Temple is absolutely reasonable.
As long as the case is decided, Su Zhaohua will become a fugitive, and this generation will really be completely ruined.
For this reason, Master Su San was more anxious than the ants on the hot pot, and he couldn't sit still anymore, so he secretly went to the Rui Wang's Mansion to ask for help.
Su Zhaohua disappeared, and King Rui secretly sent someone to look for him, and the final result was that someone had seen him go in the direction of Xiangguo Temple.
Cao Muzhi and King Rui broke again, and it is estimated that Su Zhaohua has fallen into the hands of the Lin family.
When Master Su heard this speculation, he almost fell headlong in King Rui's mansion.
His son did something to slander the reputation of the girl's family and fell into the hands of others, so can he still survive?!
At this time, Master Su San hated the Lin family very much, hated Luo Hao who testified, he repeatedly begged King Rui to save his unsuccessful son, King Rui only shook his head: "How do you want this king to save him?" Do you know how this king said that Tong Luo Hao squeezed out your eldest brother? That's the king promised to help him marry Lin Wanwan! Now that your son is going to tarnish her reputation, you think he may be angry and retract his confession! β
As soon as these words came out, Master Su San really fell to the ground softly, and it was dark in front of him, and there was no light at all.
At this time, the noble lady who couldn't sit still in the Hou Mansion came to the door, and she asked about the earrings that fell into Su Zhaohua's hands in the Xia family, and she almost made it clear that your Hou Mansion picked up people and things that day, and helped her family to frame people for abuse.
When Xia heard these questions, she was so angry that her chest hurt, but no matter how much she repeated that this was a needless thing, those noble ladies all looked distrustful, and some people even asked her to hand over the things she had lost in the Hou Mansion that day.
Where can the Xia family hand it over, isn't it just that the earrings in Liu Si's hand are from the Hou Mansion!
After thinking about it again, she was so annoyed that Xia finally had to let go, saying that the earrings were absolutely fake, and then asked people to go to Dali Temple to get the earrings, and then let a gold and silver shop under her name unknown to outsiders come out to identify that the earrings were from their family and were bought by a son.
As for this son, the shopkeeper couldn't say anything clearly, and he couldn't remember it.
This approach undoubtedly put the third room on the fire and continued to roast, and everything was connected to Su Zhaohua's premeditated plan.
The daughters of the noblewomen in the capital quieted down at this time, and Mrs. Su and the other people in the third room hated the Xia family, thinking that she was falling into the well.
Xia Shi clearly calculated his mouth, and also clarified the relationship between the Hou Mansion, and would not let the reputation of the Hou Mansion Changfang fall, but this depression of being forced to act impatiently overwhelmed the pleasure of venting, which made her mood fluctuate very much.
Su Zhaoyu looked at this result and shook his head.
He didn't understand why his mother was so paranoid and unwilling to come forward first, in the end, he still offended the third room, it was better to take the initiative to sell the favor of the Lin family, after all, Lin Guanwan would become the daughter-in-law of the Su family in the future...... Isn't it a happy thing for everyone to get along with each other?!
As a result, the third room of the Su family became isolated and helpless, and there was no way to get down, so the third master of Su listened to King Rui, and also went to kneel at the door of the Qinzheng Palace to ask for guilt.
He did not confess his son's sin, but first pleaded guilty to himself.
King Rui asked his subordinates to secretly hand over the secret fold, saying that Su Zhaohua had actually let the Lin family tie it up.
When the emperor saw this fold, his brows were wrinkled into Sichuan characters, and he summoned Mrs. Lin into the palace overnight.
Lin Hongzhi has been kneeling outside the Qinzheng Hall for a day, and when Mrs. Lin entered the palace, he saw that his spine was still straight, and he was much relieved.
"Aiqing, look at this excerpt." The emperor didn't go around in circles with Mrs. Lin much, and directly showed him the secret fold.
Old lady Lin took it and glanced at it twice, and fell in anger.
The emperor glared, thinking about how he could live more and more at such an age, and he was always angry. Since Lin Fuguo returned to the dynasty, he has seen too much of his various petty feelings!
"Aiqing has something to say, what's the use of you falling off?" It is one thing for the emperor to slander his belly, and it is naturally necessary to appease him.
He is actually quite sympathetic to the Lin family, he was cuckolded by his imperial brother last time, and his granddaughter almost had an accident not long after, what kind of bad luck is this.
After the old lady Lin broke the fold, she seemed to calm down, and just hugged her fists and wanted to give up her hand to speak, and the internal supervisor came to Dali Temple Shaoqing to ask for a meeting in a hurry.
The emperor was stunned, and his first reaction was that Shaoqing of Dali Temple should be coming to this lawsuit.
Sure enough, when Fu Xuanwen came with sweat, the first thing he said was that Su Zhaohua had found it, and he found it in a small restaurant, and everyone there could testify that he had been hiding in it for three days.
The emperor was furious when he heard this, and ordered Fu Xuanwen to try the case overnight.
Old lady Lin was also ordered by the emperor to take Lin Hongzhi back to the house and other news, if the evidence is really conclusive, he will definitely not let the Lin family be wronged.
Both father and son went home to wait for news.
When Cao Muzhi received the news, he broke out in a cold sweat behind his back, and asked King Rui to stop taking care of this lawsuit, otherwise he would even be involved in it every minute. He underestimated Old Lady Lin's ability!
It is better to fold a Su Zhaohua than to fold himself, King Rui understands this truth better than anyone else, and he already has a plan in his heart, and plans to appease Su San afterwards. After all, he still has to ask him to do something.
The results of the overnight interrogation in Dali Temple were a big surprise.
Su Zhaohua ate Wushisan in the small restaurant for three days in a row, and his speech was already upside down, and he couldn't ask the reason at all.
When the emperor asked about the case again on the second day, there was still no progress, and Su Zhaohua, who had not taken Wushisan overnight, almost went crazy in Laoli. For this reason, the emperor directly ordered that there is no need for a retrial of this matter, and there are all the witnesses, and the case can be decided!
In the end, Su Zhaohua was imprisoned for a year, and Master Su San was demoted by one level and ordered to think about it in the house for a month!
It seems to be a light punishment, but it is the most unbearable.
Su San, as a squire of the Ministry of War, is an official with real power, and Su Zhaoheng's everything on the front line at this time has to go through the first floor of the Ministry of War, and then convey it to the top and bottom, which undoubtedly makes it more difficult for King Rui's faction to act.
Su Zhaohua couldn't be framed, but he cheated himself and his father, and he didn't have tears if he wanted to cry.
And what made the emperor cry and laugh the most was that only a few days after the Midyear Festival, the Lin family actually mourned, and Lin Haopeng died of illness!
When not to choose, choose a mid-year festival, everyone says that the yin qi is the heaviest, and those who are at the end of their lives at this time are not allowed to be born. Although the emperor knew that Lin Haopeng must have been hidden by King Rui, this set was also enough to meet the people's needs.
No one wants to be cursed, their bloodline will never be reborn, and their souls will be alone.
But what can the emperor say?
He could only say that Old Lady Lin was really naΓ―ve, dissatisfied with his punishment of the Su family's third room, and expressed his dissatisfaction in this way because he was also one of the royal bloodlines!
No matter what, the emperor had a debt in his heart, and on the second day, he issued a decree and named Lin Guanwan as the countryman.
The title is not high, but it is enough to make the capital in an uproar...... (To be continued.) )
