Chapter 82: Life Compels
As soon as they came out of the Jade Han Palace, the atmosphere between Mu Wanrong and Kou Lan'er became a little delicate, and the other party actually knew what they thought in their hearts, but it was just that they were forced to tear their faces for various reasons.
Mu Wanrong needs Kou Lan'er to help her bring down Guan Tongshu in the palace, and Kou Lan'er is afraid of the power behind Mu Wanrong, if she is a little careless, not only her Kou Lan'er, but also her Amma, even the whole clan will die without a place to be buried.
"That'...... Mu Guiren," Kou Lan'er still decided to take the lead in breaking this embarrassing situation, "The concubine will go back first, and Mu Guiren will also have to rest well." ”
Mu Wanrong saw that Kou Lan'er took the initiative to give her a step down, so she also took the opportunity to pretend that nothing had happened, "Then Lan Jieyu also has to take a good rest." ”
After a polite exchange, they parted ways at the gate of the Yuhan Palace, and both of them walked briskly, like defeated dogs.
Mu Wanrong was filled with grief and indignation in her heart, originally she at least had Kou Lan'er as a punching bag, but Guan Tongshu actually shook out the matter of spreading Kou Lan'er's words last time, although Kou Lan'er didn't say anything on the surface, but Mu Wanrong naturally understood that Kou Lan'er was just forced by her identity and didn't dare to be dissatisfied, it was just ...... Outrageous!
After calculating in her heart, she was even more angry, Mu Wanrong hated her teeth itching, Guan Tongshu, what can you do if you are proud now? Your Amma's crimes have long been decided, and you are only the daughter of a criminal after all!
On Lu Chang'an's side, he took the token given by Chu Feng and came all the way to the place where Zhao Pingrong was held in Dali Temple.
Zhao Pingrong shrank alone in that dark corner, holding his knees and not daring to raise his head, when he saw someone standing at the door of the prison, he opened his mouth and said, "I paid a bribe to Lord Guan!" I am a sinner! I am a sinner! ”
As soon as he heard Zhao Pingrong's words, Lu Changan only felt that he was so pitiful, he was obviously a person who was rich and rich, why was his brain so stupid, and he actually believed the words of those people in Mushang to destroy his future?
"Zhao Pingrong, your mother is waiting for you to go back." Lu Changan did not mention the case, but talked about Zhao Pingrong's mother.
"What did you say!?" Sure enough, as soon as Eniang was mentioned, Zhao Pingrong became excited, rushed over and grabbed the prison door, staring at Lu Changan's eyes, "Don't threaten me with my Eniang!" I'm not going to change my mind! ”
"I'm not threatening you." Lu Changan's tone was very calm, and there was even a hint of pity in his eyes when he looked at Zhao Pingrong, "I went to Shimian Village to see your Eniang, and you can't bear to leave your Eniang alone and stay in such a dilapidated house?" She's so sick that you can't bear to leave her alone to take care of? ”
"How is that possible?!" Zhao Pingrong's eyes were questioning, "How can E-Niang still be in Asbestos Village?" Clearly...... She should have gone to the city...... You're lying to me! "First Chinese Network
"Believe it or not." Lu Changan sighed, "I went to Shimian Village to see your E-Niang, found a Lang Zhong to see your E-Niang, and bought some food, there should be no problem these days, do you know what your E-Niang is talking about, she said that she is waiting for her Rong'er to go back." ”
"Rong'er ......" Zhao Pingrong's lips trembled slightly, if Lu Changan was lying to himself, then he wouldn't know that E-Niang called him Rong'er, if Mu Shang took E-Niang away, then Lu Chang'an would not be able to see E-Niang, and it would be impossible to know the title of Rong'er...... Could it be that what he said is true?!
Lu Changan saw that Zhao Pingrong was shaken, and continued, "Your exam results are obviously real, and you relied on yourself to get the first place, why do you want to destroy your future?" According to your grades, you will soon be able to become an official in the court, and you will be able to do something, and besides, the conditions of your family are like this, it is impossible for you to pay so much gold to bribe my teacher. ”
"What do you know!?" Zhao Pingrong was irrational when he mentioned his Eniang, Eniang was sick and needed money, he needed a lot of money, even if he was now famous, he couldn't get it right away, only ...... Only by relying on other people can he immediately have a huge amount of money to treat Eniang......
"You get the idea." Lu Changan looked at Zhao Pingrong, and there was a trace of sadness in his tone, "You just want your mother to live a better life, but you also know that according to the law of our dynasty, accepting bribes is a capital crime, and you have done this kind of thing, even if that person promised to ensure that your mother has no worries about food and clothing, but don't you really know?" What your mother wants most is for you to be safe. ”
Zhao Pingrong was a little bitter in his heart, why didn't he know? Even in the days when he couldn't afford to eat, as long as he was with Eniang, he was not afraid of no matter how hard and tired he was, but, but Eniang had accumulated a lot of problems in order to raise him, and Zhao Pingrong really didn't want to let Eniang die well in the end.
"So what?" Zhao Pingrong shook his teeth, "Don't persuade me, standing and talking without backache, how can you understand my feelings?" What if E-Niang wants me most? I can't heal her, I can't feed her! ”
"If they really do what they say, then why did I see your Eniang, and she is still staying in Asbestos Village?" Lu Changan said patiently, "You are still alive, and they will not fulfill their promises, so do you think that after you become their scapegoat and die, they will still care about an old woman who has no relatives and no reason?" ”
Zhao Pingrong's heart was shocked by this, the reason why he accepted the conditions proposed by Kou Shilang was just because he didn't want Eniang to suffer for him anymore, and he wouldn't be guilty of capital no matter what he said, but they actually ...... Are you lying to me?
"My mother, are you really still in Asbestos Village?" Zhao Pingrong sat down on the ground a little desolately, and smiled a little desolately, "It's really pitiful, I thought I could do my filial piety for my mother by doing this, but I didn't expect it to be just used by others...... Amusing. ”
Lu Changan saw that Zhao Pingrong was finally moved by what he said, and hurriedly said, "If you don't accompany your mother, then you are really unfilial." Of course, you don't have to be discouraged, if you are willing to testify against Mu Shang and Kou Shilang and others, things will definitely turn around! ”
"Turnaround? What turnaround? Zhao Pingrong smiled contemptuously, "Is it your turnaround, not mine, not to plead for your teacher by saying so much?" I confess that I framed him for injustice, but no matter who I testify for, I will die. ”
"You don't have to worry about that." Lu Chang'an said, "When the matter is clarified, and the teacher is innocent, you testify that others are meritorious, and the emperor cherishes talents, and he will definitely give you a light sentence." ”
Seeing that Zhao Pingrong was still hesitant to say this, Lu Changan was busy persuading, "You help my teacher, there is still a glimmer of life, if you insist on being obsessed, then you will be a dead end." Zhao Pingrong, think about it, think about your mother, she is waiting for you at home. ”
