Friends, why don't you vote for all of these things? ）

Time passed day by day, and the imperial court's punishment of these criminal officials in Yongxi had all come down.

The culprits Song Bozhou and Wu Weilin were beheaded and abandoned to the city, all their family property was confiscated, and their families were all punished into slavery.

For the convicts, the punishment was relatively light, and more than a dozen officials, including Zhu Yilin, were all raided, and he and his family were all exiled to Liangzhou for hard labor.

This also made Chen Xiaoting feel once again that the special status of civil officials in this era, except for the big crimes of rebellion, it is really impossible to kill them.

Even if the emperor insisted on letting them die, it would only be by other means, such as being locked up in Jinyiwei's prison for a longer period of time, and the normal judicial process would never be possible.

So, in the heavy snow of December, everything really settled.

The snow was falling, and at this time at the gate of the Chen Mansion, Chen Xiaoting was standing alone on the steps, his eyes constantly looking at the corner of the alley.

He was waiting for someone, and from the expectant look on his face, it could be seen that he cared about people.

That's right, of course he cares a lot, because he received the news early in the morning that Xu Youhui was going to Luyang today.

Chen Xiaoting sent people to escort him, so someone passed the news to him every day.

In fact, if it was according to Chen Xiaoting's nature, he would actually want to go out of the city to greet him, after all, he had been waiting for this day for many years.

But he had to take care of Shen Yi's thoughts, after all, they were his married couple, and now they were even more in trouble.

At this time, in the warm pavilion deep in the mansion, Shen Yi sat at a round table, holding hot tea and thinking deeply.

Sitting next to her was Zheng Xuan'er, who was holding the child in her arms at this time, while Chen Ruiling was teasing her sister with a small windmill.

The maidservants were carefully adding charcoal to the stove, and in the quiet room there was nothing but the laughter of children and the sound of charcoal burning.

"Xuan'er, have you ever seen the one who will come back later?" Shen Yi asked suddenly.

Zheng Xuan'er has always been well-behaved in front of Shen Yi, and at this time, Shen Yi replied when she asked: "Sister, I have never seen the concubine, but I have also heard Brother Xiaoting mention it!" ”

"What did he say?" Shen Yi's face was still calm, but there was a slight vinegar in his heart.

She gave everything she had to Chen Xiaoting, but she didn't expect that in her husband's heart, there was another person from beginning to end, but she didn't know it yet.

Although Zheng Xuan'er is not good at figuring out people's hearts, she can clearly feel that the atmosphere is slightly wrong.

So she said cautiously: "Brother Xiaoting said that Sister Xu is a poor person, and the whole family has been framed...... Displaced! ”

Although these words were said by Chen Xiaoting, what Shen Yi wanted to hear was not these, in fact, she should have asked Chen Xiaoting face to face.

"She's a poor person, so aren't we pitiful? I almost put my life into it for him to give birth to a child, and I didn't see him distressed? Shen Yi said dissatisfied.

In this mansion, only Shen Yi dares to say this, Zheng Xuan'er has always been what Chen Xiaoting says.

In front of Shen Yi, Zheng Xuan'er is also a stuffy gourd, and she won't answer at this time.

Although she was sulking in her heart, she had to be open-minded as a big woman, so Shen Yi still stood up and said, "Forget it, let's go out and have a look together, so as not to be told that we should be careful!" ”

"I want to see what kind of woman makes my husband so concerned!"

At this time, at the gate of the mansion, Chen Xiaoting, who was already anxious, finally heard the sound of a carriage in the distance.

Chen Xiaoting was overjoyed, but he still stood on the steps of the mansion, after all, he was no longer the hot-blooded young man he was at the beginning.

A green cloth carriage slowly appeared in Chen Xiaoting's eyes, accompanied by several servants.

In the end, the carriage stopped outside the gate of Chen's mansion, and a maid in blue came out of the carriage.

After the coachman had set up a stool, the maid dismounted from the carriage and lifted the curtain sideways.

Standing on the steps, Chen Xiaoting watched the familiar and unfamiliar face appear, and finally a smile appeared on his face.

And Xu Youhui also looked at Chen Xiaoting at this time, and a knowing smile also appeared on her originally cold face.

At this moment, the two of them had not only each other in their minds, but also those memories from the past.

The chance encounter outside the Guangde Mansion is Xu Youhui's natural carving, and Chen Xiaoting was full of energy when he met in the city, and then he had a firstborn love on the first night of that year......

At this moment, life is only like the first time you see it.

"Miss, it's time to get off!"

The handmaid's reminder on the side pulled the two of them out of their memories.

Just when Xu Youhui was about to get out of the car with the handmaid's hand, Chen Xiaoting walked quickly to the carriage and stretched out his hand at the same time.

After hesitating for a moment, although he was shy, Xu Youhui still handed his hand to Chen Xiaoting.

Subsequently, Chen Xiaoting got out of the carriage with Xu Youhui in his arms, but because the separation time was too long, he didn't know how to speak because he had too many words.

In the end, it was Chen Xiaoting who spoke first: "Your father and brother, when will they come back...... I'm going to have a wedding party too! ”

Through the agreement of letters, Xu Youhui is already another wife of Chen Xiaoting, so the banquet that should be held is essential.

Hearing this, Xu Youhui was embarrassed, so she only heard her say: "The concubine, father and brother, have already decided to settle down there and not come back!" ”

Lu Yang is a sad place for the Xu family, but the Xu family has a good life in Liangzhou, and it is normal not to want to come back.

"Then this wedding banquet is not easy to arrange!" Chen Xiaoting said helplessly.

Xu Youhui looked up at Chen Xiaoting and said, "The concubine body has no requirements for these, husband...... Husband, you don't have to worry too much! ”

The experiences over the years have made Xu Youhui take "red tape" very lightly, and now that she can come back and be with Chen Xiaoting, it is enough for her to be satisfied.

What's more, Xu Youhui is also a smart person, so naturally he also has to take into account the thoughts of Chen Xiaoting's wife.

After all, she had heard that Mrs. Chen was a noble daughter of a big family in the capital, and if she, a newcomer, was in the limelight as soon as she came, it would not necessarily be a good thing for her.

Her only wish now is to live a plain life with Chen Xiaoting, and she has no other ideas.

Seeing the blandness in Xu Youhui's expression, Chen Xiaoting really confirmed that she didn't value all this.

Then this matter can only be discussed again, not to mention that now is not the time to discuss this.

"Let's go, let's go in first, I'll introduce you to the two sisters......" Chen Xiaoting pulled Xu Youhui and was about to turn around.

But at this time, there was a warm and flat voice mixed with enthusiasm from inside the mansion: "With this beautiful woman by the side, the husband is really a blessing!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Chen Xiaoting's heart jumped, as if he had been caught raped.

Shen Yi didn't pay attention to him at this time, but looked at Xu Youhui on the side, she felt the unique charm from this cold woman.

And Xu Youhui was also looking at Shen Yi at this time, the graceful temperament of the capital from the inside out was indeed not comparable to ordinary women.

Chen Xiaoting was not able to speak for a while, but Xu Youhui bent down to Shen Yi and said, "I've seen my sister......"

"Brother Xiaoting has a virtuous help like his sister, which is a real blessing, and the concubine is like a willow, and he can't afford to be called a sister and a beautiful woman!"

"Sure enough, I can speak, but I am much more clever than ordinary women......" Shen Yi couldn't help but say to Chen Xiaoting: "Husband, you can pity this sister a lot in the future!" ”

Chen Xiaoting was a little embarrassed at this time: "Madam, let's go in and talk!" ”
