Chapter 23: Father-in-law Xu
"If one day my hands are covered with blood, and my reputation is even worse than now, will A-Ning dislike me?" Rong Li asked seriously.
"No, if my cousin is safe if I kill those people, then I want my cousin to live. People are selfish, and compared to those who don't know each other, I naturally choose my cousin. An Ning replied, a flash of indifference in her eyes.
"That's fine, I'll tell you everything, now you can taste the pomegranate." Rong Li said flatteringly.
"Well, it's good, sweet and sour, and there is more water than the tribute, where did you get it from." A-Ning looked at him and said, after all, it must have cost a lot of manpower and material resources to get a pomegranate that is of better quality than the tribute.
"It's just that some pomegranates are nothing, since I plan to take revenge, how can I only plan to get up now, naturally I am somewhat prepared. How can money be ignored as a matter of vital importance. Rong Li said indifferently, since A-Ning already knew, he didn't plan to hide some things from her. But his A-Ning is so smart that he can think of so much, and the other ten-year-old girls probably only know how to play now.
"You can eat this pomegranate, I'll send it over after eating, I heard that you are learning the piano these days, when can you play a song for me, that piano can be repaid." If you don't like it, my cousin will find you a better one. ”
"It's only been a few days since I learned, and I'll play it for my cousin when I'm done. Ziyun, serve tea to my cousin, and my cousin doesn't remind me. Seeing the emptiness in front of Rong Li, A-Ning knew that he had just patronized and questioned him, but he forgot to ask someone to serve him tea. The two have been talking for so long, and they must have been thirsty for a long time.
"I just want to see when A-Ning will be able to think of me, it's the first time I've seen A-Ning so angry when I'm so old."
Since childhood, A-Ning has not been like ordinary children, very quiet and noisy, even when taking medicine, she is obedient and not crying like other children, and even some things are naturally known. It's just that she learns everything very quickly, if it weren't for the eldest princess who was afraid that she would overexert her mind and hurt her body, it is estimated that she would have been a talented girl by now. Because of this, he felt that A-Ning was the little fairy given to him by God.
The two chatted for a while and Rong Li left, after all, Rong Li had just taken over the command of Jinyi Wei Zhennan, and there were still a lot of things to be busy with if he wanted to be completely in his hands. A-Ning asked people to divide some pomegranates and send them to Songhe Courtyard and other courtyards.
At dinner, A Ning went to the courtyard of Lu Qing and Princess An Guo to use it. saw his father lying on the soft couch holding a book of war, while her mother sat on the bed playing Yingluo. Although neither of them spoke, the atmosphere was warm and harmonious, which A-Ning had never seen before.
"A-Ning is here, why don't you come in." Lu Qing heard the voice and saw that his daughter was just standing at the door in a daze, and had no intention of coming in.
"The picture is so beautiful, I can't bear to spoil it." A-Ning looked at them and said thoughtfully.
"You're getting poorer and poorer now." Princess An said helplessly.
"What I said is true, if you don't believe it, forget it." A-Ning spread his hands and said.
"The county lord is here, let's eat." The eldest princess of An Guo commanded. The other servants went out, as was the way they had eaten when they were in the south. Lu Qing still remembered that it was A-Ning who brought it up, the three of them were a family, and it was always a little rusty and uncomfortable for others to look at from the side.
Although it was inconsistent with the courtesy, Lu Qing also felt that A-Ning was right, and only then could he unscrupulously experience the warm atmosphere of a family of three. At that time, the eldest princess of An Guo was the softest, and there would be no edges and corners that were only available when facing him, so this habit continued.
"You had a good quarrel in the afternoon?" After eating, the eldest princess of An Guo asked. In the afternoon, when she went to see A-Ning, she found that all the maids were standing outside, looking inside the room with worried expressions. After asking Ziyun, they found out that her daughter and nephew were angry, and she understood that Rong Li was not worried about what would happen to the two of them.
"No, it's just a matter of asking my cousin something." Aning denied it, and he didn't think the two of them had a fight.
"Father-in-law Xu, I haven't seen you for a long time, I don't know if you still remember me?" In the prison of the Zhenfu Division, Rong Li looked at Gonggong Xu, who had become unkempt, and a flash of excitement flashed in his eyes.
"The face of His Royal Highness the Seventh is almost exactly the same as that of the queen mother back then, how can our family forget it." Gonggong Xu looked at Rong Li and said with a smile.
"It seems that Gonggong Xu's memory is still very good, so I can rest assured." After Rong Li finished speaking, he turned around and left.
"Didn't His Royal Highness the Seventh come here just to know the truth of the year, isn't this the purpose of your condescending here?" Gonggong Xu asked.
"Oh, no, I'm just here to see what you look like when you become a prisoner, as for those people, the final result is the same, so there is no need to ask, I just need to know who these people are." Rong Li said with a smile, but her eyes were very cold.
"As a son of man, don't you want to wash away your grievances for the queen?" Gonggong Xu was a little puzzled, because Rong Li's approach was really not in line with the current filial piety.
"Washing, why washing, my mother never cared about those false names, she just stupidly believed in the so-called man's sincerity and would never recover, since her heart is dead, the truth is not so important, I just need to send you one by one to accompany him." Rong Li said mockingly. The most stupid thing about a woman is that she would believe that an emperor would have a so-called sincerity.
"As the chief eunuch who was once the most trusted of the queen mother, the preferential treatment I will give you is to let you watch them die one by one. I'm not going to kill you, but I don't want to hear your voice again. Rong Li left the words and left. And Grandpa Xu will naturally have someone to take care of him, since he can keep him alive, he won't let him pass on any news, especially since they didn't ask anything.
In the second **** hall, the impeachment of the former Jinyi Wei Zhennan Town, and the rebellion of Gonggong Xu, fell to the front of the palace like snow. The reason why Gonggong Xu was able to serve as a criminal minister and serve as the envoy of Jinyi Wei Zhennan is because he has the merit of reporting the queen, and then because of the blessing of the Zheng family of Yanping Marquis, so there is today.
However, during his tenure in an important position, he was greedy for money, and he had dealings with many important ministers, and he was also suspected of buying and selling officials, such a crime that no one could speak for him. Especially now that the evidence is conclusive, the Zheng family can only stay out of the matter and abandon the pawn to protect the car.
