Chapter 597: Joke
Zhou Yuanxuan was hanged by Bai Aya.
When he died, he was in a mess, because he was desperately struggling and scratching, all his nails were bruised, and his fingertips became jet black, just like the scene when Liang Sangongzi was poisoned and died.
The Zhou family's chickens flew and the dogs jumped, and Mrs. Zhou was angry, angry, scared and distressed, and fainted violently, without any dignity at all.
After confirming that the person was really dead, the palace envoy returned to the palace with satisfaction.
They walked on the front foot, and Zhou Xiang's father and son hurried back with the news, and when they saw this scene, Zhou Xiang's eyes fell in the dark.
It was easy to wake up, and Mrs. Zhou was ready to throw herself into his arms and cry bitterly: "Master, it's so pitiful to wrap her around......"
Zhou Xiang shouted: "The stupid woman mistook me!" I've been killed by you! ”
Mrs. Zhou was stunned and looked at her husband stupidly, thinking that she had misheard the wrong thing.
Zhou Xiang lowered his voice and said angrily: "Who made you give her so much courage to dare to hide from me and collude with the pirates to trap and trap the wife of the imperial court official?" Who gave her so much courage to dare to poison her husband? That's the queen's nephew! It's done, why leave a flaw, let people find her! ”
"I ......" Mrs. Zhou just wanted to defend herself, but she was slapped hard by Zhou Xiang: "You didn't?" It's you! It's you who indulge her in lawlessness! Do you still want me to ask Your Majesty to avenge her and seek justice? ”
"Let me tell you, the Queen Mother rarely cares about these things in her daily life, why did she do it this time? Because this is the emperor's warning to us! This world belongs to His Majesty, not surnamed Zhou...... The queen has been born and died with Her Majesty for many years, what kind of love is that? It's a big taboo, do you understand? Do you understand? ”
Zhou Xiang roared in a low voice, the broken hair on his sideburns hanging down beside his face, and he was indescribably embarrassed.
I thought of the disappointment and suspicion in the emperor's eyes, the gentle smile and greeting of Empress Liang when we met by chance, the meaningful glance of the little lamb, and the refreshed appearance of Shao Jing when he came out of the secluded room.
Zhou Xiang's heart ached: "A good game of chess I played was ruined in the hands of your mother and daughter!" Your Majesty now suspects that I and Shang Guogong colluded with the bandits for personal gain, and also suspects that I also single-handedly manipulated the last election of the king of Pu'an County as the crown prince...... I felt that I had betrayed him...... I've ...... in this life."
He choked up, this time he really had no children and no daughters, not that he couldn't give birth, but Mrs. Zhou didn't allow him to give birth, and his stepson was Mrs. Zhou's maiden nephew, and his only biological daughter was like this, what else did it mean......
Mrs. Zhou sat blankly, her eyes full of hatred and remorse.
Zhou Xiang sat up straight, wiped his face vigorously, and said coldly: "Don't give her a big funeral, and besides, there is no such person in the Zhou family's genealogy, and I Zhou Hui has no such daughter!" ”
Mrs. Zhou was stimulated again and screamed: "Why?!" ”
"Just because I have no children, the only stepson who inherits the family business is your own nephew." Zhou Xiang walked out like a ghost.
When he walked to the door, he cleaned up his sad face, calmly walked into the study, and gathered his staff to discuss important matters, as if there had never been a tragic incident in which his daughter was given death.
His Majesty is suspicious, and now all the fingers are pointed at him and Ah Jiu, if they can't be handled properly, they may be dismissed next.
And he has offended too many people before, once he loses power, you can imagine what those people will do to him.
——*——*——
The wind and rain blow the slanting willows, and the swallows murmur under the corridor.
Tian Youwei looked at the plaque hanging above the Mu Mansion, and her mood was indescribably excited.
Shao Jing was waiting for her and her two children inside.
The second baby has not yet been named, so it is for the father.
I wonder what Shao Jing will name the child this time?
Just as she was thinking about it, a person swept over like a storm, picked up Brother Xi beside her, and patted her on the shoulder again.
Brother Xi was so frightened that he cried, but the man laughed and said, "Silly son, don't you recognize your father?" ”
Shao Jing wore a beige robe, much thinner than before, even his freshly shaved chin was bluer, but his smile was extremely bright and happy, like a child.
"Why did you get out?" Father Tian shouted happily: "Ah Jing, how can you go out?" Didn't you say you're still locked up? ”
Although Xie Shi, Mu Chong, and Fang Shi didn't say anything, their expressions were the same, full of doubts.
"I knew you were coming, so I bribed the guards and let me pick you up for a while." Shao Jing smiled, and did not hesitate to help Tian Youwei brush her broken hair, and whispered affectionately: "You have lost weight." ”
Tian Youwei's nose was sour, tears almost rushed out, she finally held it back, and smiled sweetly: "You have also lost weight." ”
"I did it on purpose, I was fat before, and it didn't look good." Shao Jing asked her matter-of-factly: "Do I look good like this?" ”
"It's good-looking, it's just old." Tian Youwei followed his wishes, not wanting Mu Chong to be serious and not knowing how to laugh, so she said seriously: "Brother and sister are wrong, Ah Jing is not old, just look at it." ”
Tian Youwei and Shao Jing both laughed, Xie and Tian's father also laughed secretly, and Mu Chong was confused: "Did I say something wrong?" ”
Fang sighed and pushed him home: "That's right, it's right." ”
Mu Chong shouted, "What's the hurry? The guests haven't entered the house yet! ”
The Fang clan hurriedly retreated, and warmly invited Father Tian and the Xie clan to enter.
Father Tian and the Xie family were not polite, they had been worried about Shao Jing all the time, and they were also grateful to the Mu family for everything they had done for the young couple, they had arrived at the door, so they naturally wanted to go in to say hello, and then thank Mrs. Mu and others.
All the way in, Tian Youwei was the first to notice that something was wrong: "Why are there no outsiders at home?" ”
If Shao Jingzhen was still in solitary confinement, there would definitely be guards at home, but it was quiet and quiet, and it didn't look like he was being confined.
"Yes, third brother, where are the people guarding you?" Mu Chong didn't know what euphemism was, so he asked directly, and was slapped by Fang's again.
"Guards? I just evacuated. Mu Bing greeted him with a smile, first looked at Tian's father Xie, and then greeted Tian Youwei and others in turn, and when he saw the baby in the arms of Brother Xi and Tian Youwei, he said: "The third brother really earned, I didn't worry about it at all, and the child grew up." ”
"It's not big, it's not small!" Mu Chong reprimanded him a few words and asked, "Why did the guards withdraw?" ”
"Of course, it's because the third brother is innocent." Mu Bing's eyes widened in surprise: "The third brother didn't tell you?" ”
Everyone looked at Shao Jing at the same time.
Shao Jing said without guilt: "Just make a joke with everyone, so that you can surprise and surprise." ”
"This kind of thing is also a joke?" Tian's father was so angry that he raised his crutches and wanted to beat people, but was pulled by Xie Shi: "Okay, okay, the child just wants to make us happy." ”
Mu Chong was busy saying good things, but Father Tian stroked his beard and said seriously: "I'm also joking." ”
