Chapter 87: Intended
Su Chenjing actually had this kind of speculation in his heart for a long time, but he was afraid that the Xu family and the Ding family would not be able to stand it, so he didn't say it directly, but slowly analyzed it to them. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
There are indeed too many strange things about Pingbei Hou's rebellion and imprisonment, which is the conclusion that Ling Jing's soul deduced after waking up in Su Chenjing's body.
After Su Chenjing entered Beijing, he tried his best to find his colleagues who had a good relationship with Beihou on weekdays, and wanted them to maneuver around, but these people either vaguely shirked or avoided him, and there was only one family that did not have much contact with Pingbeihou on weekdays, although he did not see him, but quietly revealed the news and hinted that he should stop running around, saying that it was the meaning of the above, and there was not much room for activities.
The above meaning, and there is no room for movement, he thinks about it, and can only guess that all this is the emperor's will.
Only the emperor's personal will, the following thieves and officials could see that the emperor wanted to get rid of the Pingbei Marquis, so they didn't dare to intercede.
But what is the emperor's purpose in doing this? If the Marquis of Pingbei is not pleasing to the eye, or if it is in the way, a decree can remove him from the title, and he will be degraded from the capital far away, why must he be arrested for the crime of rebellion?
There is only one possibility, that is, he wants Pingbei Hou to die, and only the dead will keep secrets.
Therefore, he speculated that it must be the Marquis of Pingbei who knew some crucial secret of the royal family, so that the emperor would be quick to get rid of him.
This is also the reason why when he heard the elder say that the old lady was put back, he concluded in his heart that Pingbei Hou should not be able to come out.
Coming to this conclusion, as Ling Jing, he can accept it, and as Su Chenjing, he is a little emotionally unbearable.
He is like this, not to mention the Xu family and the Ding family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, so he slowly analyzed it for the two of them, so that they could have a psychological defense.
Rao is like this, looking at Ding's pale face, Su Chenjing also knows that she can't accept all this she said.
"Mother, it's impossible, isn't it, how could the lord offend the emperor, he has never entered the palace alone on weekdays, and it is even more impossible to know any secrets of the royal family, mother, do you say?" Ding's lips trembled, and he took Xu's hand, seeking reassurance.
Xu's eyes flashed, but he didn't speak, Lao Ping Beihou also followed the emperor to fight in the south and north in his early years, she followed Lao Ping Beihou by her side, and she didn't see the world, and Lao Ping Beihou died when she was less than forty years old, over the years, she led the Su family alone through a lot of ups and downs, and her temperament is naturally stronger than Ding's.
"Grandmother, what did you think?" Su Chenjing saw that Xu was silent, but his face was a little strange, and he asked.
"Oh." Xu came back to his senses, "I wonder why we were suddenly released? After the emperor ordered us to be arrested, in addition to detaining your father in solitary confinement, he did not send anyone to interrogate us, nor did he use the execution, so it can be seen that the purpose of this incident is indeed against your father, and the purpose of arresting us is just to threaten your father. ā
"If that's the case, before the goal is achieved, the emperor should not let us go, but we were only locked up for more than half a month, and suddenly released, the only possibility is that the emperor has achieved his goal, and when he is satisfied, he wants to be gracious and let us go, from this point of view, your father is probably ......" Xu's voice was a little choked, and tears slipped straight down.
Rao is no matter how strong her character is, but Pingbeihou is her only son, when she thinks that her son may encounter accidents, her heart is like a knife, and her emotions can no longer be controlled.
Ding wanted to seek comfort from Xu, but she didn't expect Xu to analyze it and come to the conclusion that her husband was unlucky, she subconsciously screamed and almost fainted.
Su Chenjing grabbed Ding's crumbling body, "Mother, grandmother, don't scare yourself first, we're just talking about the worst-case scenario, and why are you released, we also have to go out to investigate, besides, don't you have confidence in your father?" My father is smart and strong, and he will definitely be able to think of solutions when he encounters difficulties. ā
Hearing Su Chenjing mention Su Jin's character, Xu's face softened slightly, and she taught her son single-handedly, she naturally knew in her heart that Su Jin was a very smart person, and he seemed to have a gentle personality, but in fact he was very stubborn, and he would do what he knew, and he would definitely not sit still in prison.
Ding remembered that her husband acted as a person, and her heart slowly calmed down, but she couldn't help but sigh: "Old lady, what's wrong with our family?" How could such a catastrophe happen suddenly? Let's hope this disaster will pass soon. ā
"Mother, don't be afraid, everything will be fine," Su Chenjing comforted her, "I'll go into the city tomorrow to find a way to find out the situation in the prison, and then inquire about the reason for your release." ā
Ding's nerves, which had just calmed down, suddenly tensed up again when he heard Su Chenjing mention the prison, "The prison, you still have to go to the prison, no, my mother won't allow you to go again." ā
"Mother, I won't break in again this time, don't worry, I'm just asking around to see if there's anything to gain." Su Chenjing promised.
Ding was a little skeptical, "Don't go in?" Really don't go in? ā
Su Chenjing nodded, "I really don't go in." ā
Xu also spoke for Su Chenjing, "Eldest daughter-in-law, Jing'er is a measured child, and now she is a lot more sensible, don't be surprised," and turned to Su Chenjing and said, "Jing'er, our family will rely on you in the future." ā
Su Chenjing was a little embarrassed by Xu's words to praise himself, Su Chenjing's actions before were indeed a little reckless, and it was indeed not a wise move to trespass into the prison.
At the same time, Xu's words also made him feel the responsibility on his shoulders, sitting in front of him were his mother and grandmother, who were his most important family members, and he was the only support for the two of them.
"Grandmother, Jing'er understands and knows how to do it." Su Chenjing made a promise with a serious face.
Xu Shi felt very relieved.
"I don't know how long my father's case will last, tomorrow I will let Chang Geng go out and find a yard nearby to rent, and it is not a way for our family to always live in an inn." Su Chenjing thought of this matter just now, especially after seeing this big family.
There are nearly 20 people up and down the Su family, these people eat, drink, wear and live, everything needs silver, and they don't have much silver left in their hands, if they live in the inn again, they will be penniless in less than ten days.
Speaking of which, the Ding family and the Xu family are both women, and they are both in charge of the Su family's middle feed, and they know that the daily expenses for eating and drinking are the most terrifying, "Our family's property has been confiscated, fortunately, your grandmother brought you more silver when you went out, otherwise we would really be called heaven and earth now." Ding sighed.
"Jing'er, this matter will be handed over to me and your mother, you will let Changgen go out to find a house in a nearby town tomorrow, and don't worry about the rest, during this time, you and your second and third uncles will concentrate on running your father's case, and we will be responsible for the affairs of the family, everything will wait for your father to come out, and we will make plans." In the end, ginger is old and spicy, and Xu arranged it in an instant.
Just do it, the next day, Su Chenjing got up early in the morning and went into the city, and the Xu family moved to a newly rented courtyard in the town with the Su family.
The yard is a little old, but it is very clean, it is a small courtyard, because the yard is not good, some rooms are small and dark, so the rent is cheaper.
"Dad, it's so shabby here, I don't want to live here, I want to go home, I want to live in my big house." The youngest Su Liulang pouted and pulled Su San's robe to be coquettish.
He is only more than three years old, the child doesn't understand anything, emotions come and go quickly, after eating enough last night and sleeping beautifully, he forgot about being detained before, and they were only detained, and they were not tortured, so this prison incident did not leave any shadow in Su Liulang's heart.
Now when I see such a small house, I naturally don't want to live in it, and I want to go home and live in my own big house.
Master Su San didn't know how to explain to a three-year-old child that their house had been raided, and he probably wouldn't have a big house to live in the future, so he could only push Su Liulang to his wife Yang, "You are optimistic about her." ā
Yang was very reluctant, so he glared at Su Liulang fiercely and scolded him: "Don't cry, if you cry again, you will be thrown outside, and you will not be allowed to come back." ā
Su Liulang pouted, tears swirled in his big eyes, but he didn't dare to really cry.
Xu glanced at Yang, stood up straight, and said, "While everyone is here, I have something to announce." You have also seen the current situation, our Su family has been seized, you will no longer be a pampered young master and girl in the future, but ordinary people, the family property is gone, and the only little silver rents this courtyard as a place to live, and now we are penniless and poor. ā
Mr. and Mrs. Su Er and Mr. and Mrs. Su San both pursed their mouths and bowed their heads silently.
Several older children understood Xu's words, and their faces turned a little pale.
"Grandmother, this is only temporary, when the eldest uncle comes out, won't our family be able to come back?" It was Sister Man who spoke, she was the daughter of Master Su San and the Yang family, and her name was Su Yuman.
She is twelve years old this year, with long apricot eyes and peach cheeks, and she looks like a little beauty embryo, and she is a little rude by the Yang family on weekdays.
"Your eldest uncle is back, and we won't be able to go back to our previous home, we will all be common people in the future, and we will not even have food and drink tomorrow." Xu's voice suddenly raised, and the expression on his face became very serious.
"So, you have to recognize the reality, from now on, you will not have someone to serve, what you want to do, what to eat, what to wear, you have to come by yourself, understand, from today on, the men in the family except for the young Goro and Liulang, the rest of the rest have to go out to do work to earn money, and the women also go out to find some sewing or pulp washing, embroidery work to supplement the family, Sister Man, Sister Huan, and Sister Lin are responsible for the family's three meals a day, and Sister Fang takes Golang and Liulang at home." rs
