Chapter 515: Yes and What?
The reputation of the daughter's family is the most important, and the reason why Xuan Guogong did not force his daughter to marry was because he wanted her to participate in this year's draft.
But as soon as this incident comes out, I'm afraid it will be difficult to enter the palace again!
The two daughters of Xuan Guogong were all born well, and they had long had the intention of clinging to the nobles. Who knew that something like this happened now, wasn't it about to ruin his plan?
He, of course, did not allow it.
Xuan Guogong's words were aggressive, with a bit of the meaning of Xingshi asking for guilt, but it was a pity that his shelf was placed in the wrong place.
At least in front of Old Lady Zhou, he doesn't have this qualification yet.
Therefore, after hearing his words, the smile on Mrs. Zhou's face was also put away, and she said indifferently: "She ruined her reputation by herself, but my daughter-in-law of the Zhou family was almost killed by her." Aside from the guilt for the time being, but Zizhao Fangcai's words are very right, the people of the Zhou family are not arbitrary to admit and bully others. β
As soon as he said this, Xuanguo Gong was completely embarrassed, and said in a deep voice: "Just for a woman, you plan to completely turn your face with Xuanguo Gongfu?" β
Hearing this, Mrs. Zhou glanced at him and said, "So what?" β
Xuan Guogong couldn't threaten him, but instead trampled his face on the ground, and he felt more and more that his face couldn't be hung up, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, okay, let's go!" β
Seeing Xuanguo Gong brushing his sleeves away, Xuanguo Duchess wanted to say something, but because of her husband's anger, she could only glance at Zhou Chunhe with dissatisfaction, and then hurriedly followed.
The two of them came and went in a hurry, but Zhou Chunhe looked guilty and saluted: "Grandfather, this matter was mishandled by the grandson, which caused you trouble, and I ask you to punish him." β
Seeing this, Mrs. Zhou waved her hand and said, "You are innocent, what's wrong?" β
When he said this, he personally helped Zhou Chunhe up, and said with an appreciative expression: "Zizhao, what you just said is very right. β
The reason why he reprimanded Zhou Chunhe yesterday was that he was too indecisive.
"Do you know why your grandfather scolded you yesterday?"
Hearing Mrs. Zhou's gentle voice, Zhou Chunhe said abruptly: "Yesterday, I shouldn't have been soft-eared, and I didn't even protect my wife." β
If he hadn't intended to indulge Li Sijiao from the beginning, then Yao Xianyun wouldn't have been whipped that way.
She would rather be whipped than ask him for help, to put it bluntly, she is not good enough.
Seeing this, Old Lady Zhou nodded and said, "It's more than that. Zizhao, my grandfather taught you since you were a child that there are many things in this world that are very attractive. For example, wealth, such as power. But you have to know that some things are more important than power, such as conscience, such as friendship. β
It is said that Zhou Chunhe's father died early and was raised by his grandfather.
Therefore, what Sun Er was thinking in his heart, Mrs. Zhou knew too well.
This time, he deliberately tried to get involved in this matter, just to use this incident to experience Zhou Chunhe.
The reason why I scolded him yesterday was also because he did something to disappoint him.
Even though Zhou Chunhe kept saying it, it was because he was soft-hearted to his aunt. But Mrs. Zhou knew that in fact, he was also weighing whether he should have a complete fall out with the Xuanguo Mansion.
Even though Mrs. Zhou's protΓ©gΓ©s are all over the world, he is old in the end, and as the only adult child and grandson of the Zhou family, Zhou Chunhe is cautious and never refuses to be evil to others.
It's because he doesn't dare.
He has never been afraid of making mistakes, but he doesn't know that the most wrong thing about him is this fear of words.
Fortunately, he realized that he had lost his way.
"You must know that in this world, there are always things that need to be guarded wholeheartedly, and you can leave all your worries behind."
Listening to Mrs. Zhou's teachings, Zhou Chunhe's expression became more and more ashamed, and he said abruptly: "Grandfather, grandson knows that he is wrong. β
Yesterday's whip not only hit Zhou Yao's body, but also hit Zhou Chunhe's heart.
He's not stupid, he's just too much to gain and lose. In addition, his talent is indeed not outstanding, so he often feels like walking on thin ice.
But, wrong is wrong.
Seeing him like this, Mrs. Zhou patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Knowing mistakes can improve a lot, this is the good son of my Zhou family." β
Hearing this, Zhou Chunhe nodded heavily and said, "Grandson remember." β
β¦β¦
Because of the firm attitude of the Zhou family, this time the Xuanguo Mansion failed to get any benefits from it.
The evidence of Li Sijiao's murder was conclusive, and after the saint knew the ins and outs, he was also a little tired of this unruly and domineering woman, so he directly waved his hand and asked the soldiers and horses of the five cities to pronounce the verdict according to the law.
The emperor's words directly determined Li Sijiao's fate.
She was sentenced to 10 years in prison for murder.
And the ten-year punishment was still the result of the Xuanguo Mansion's every possible maneuver.
As soon as this incident came out, the Xuanguo Mansion became a laughing stock completely, all his original plans were in vain, and he had to run around for his daughter again.
Because the law of Western Chu has a word, the disaster of punishment and prison can be ransomed with the equivalent of silver.
Although the law says that murder is not among them.
But to put it mildly, how many of these dignitaries and nobles in Beijing are really clean?
So those criminal laws are just decorations. As long as the relationship is opened, there is a way to exchange the tanuki for the prince.
When the Xuanguo Mansion was running back and forth, and it was a little difficult to even see his daughter, Zhou Yao's family saw her easily under the leadership of the jailer.
"Madam, the people are here, if you have anything to call the villain, I will wait outside."
Hearing this, Zhou Yao nodded and thanked him, and only after the person left did he look into the prison.
After just two days of hard work, Li Sijiao, who was proud of the past and could not be beaten, has now become a prisoner. Not only is the face dirty, but even the eyes are more gloomy.
When she saw Zhou Yao, she gritted her teeth and sneered, and asked, "Yao Xianyun, are you here to see my joke?" β
Zhou Yaoshi looked at her indifferently and said, "I'm here to ask you a few questions, and I'll leave when I get the answer." β
Hearing this, Li Sijiao stared at her with disdain as if she had heard some joke, and said, "Ask me?" You're sick in the head, why do you think I'm going to tell you? β
Zhou Yao's soldiers were not angry, but said lightly: "Of course you can not tell me, anyway, it's good to go to hell with this secret, isn't it." β
She has always spoken gently and gently, how could she ever be so vicious? But when facing Li Sijiao, Zhou Yaoshi couldn't restrain herself, she knew that she had hatred in her heart.
She wanted to let Li Sijiao die, but this criminal law did not put her to death. So she just said this to scare the other party.
Sure enough, when she heard her words, Li Sijiao first looked flustered, and then forced herself to calm down: "My father is Xuanguo Gong, I am the concubine of the house, and I want me to die, but unfortunately I will live longer than you!" β
However, when she said this, she looked a little uneasy.
Since coming in, the family has not been here once, which makes Li Sijiao have a sense of fear that he will be abandoned.
Zhou Yao didn't bother with her so much, but continued: "Then you just wait." I'll just ask you one thing - how did you know that Li Yue was poisonous? β
Although she mistakenly found out that the person who poisoned herself was Li Sijiao, she couldn't figure it out, how could Li Sijiao, a boudoir lady, have anything to do with an outside doctor like Li Yue?
After all, the doctors outside here are mixed, so most of the nobles in Beijing are looking for doctors with excellent medical skills to keep in the house as special government doctors.
One is to ensure reliability, and the other is to rest assured.
Although Li Sijiao is very scheming, she is still a boudoir daughter's family, and according to what she said, the previous lady was also harmed by her. So how did the little girl, who was only twelve years old at the time, collude with an outside doctor?
You must know that Li Yue at that time did not have the same reputation as later.
As soon as these words came out, Li Sijiao's expression changed slightly, she pinched her fingers quietly, and then sneered: "I don't understand what you're talking about, it's true that I killed those maids, but I have already given compensation." As for the other charges, I don't plead guilty. β
