Chapter 153: The fate of the Zhao family
The next morning, Qi Mo got up and went to the palace, Qi Ruo felt better, picked it up, and after eating again, the dish went to Zhao's mansion.
After the group arrived at the Zhao Mansion, they saw that the door of the mansion was closed, and it took a long time before someone came to open the door.
When he entered the courtyard, as soon as he saw Zhao Li and Mrs. Zhao in the lobby, Qi Ruo chuckled and said, "What? Is this huddled here? ”
That's a really unceremonious statement.
Zhao Li didn't speak, Mrs. Zhao glanced at her husband's face, and her face turned cold at the moment.
"Duchess Zhenguo, your status is noble, but we are still the official eunuchs of the imperial court, and the plaque of our Zhao Mansion is still hanging outside, so we still have to bother you to be respectful."
Qi Ruo sat aside by himself: "Be respectful?" Now that you're here, Lord Zhao is good, you didn't say a word, how tough it was at that time! ”
She fiddled with the hand stove that Xia He sent to her hand, and said leisurely: "Then again, why didn't Lord Zhao go to the palace to deal with affairs?" In the end, it is an official eunuch of the imperial court, is it really good to be at home like this? ”
Qi Ruo returned Mrs. Zhao's words again.
Mrs. Zhao was so angry that her body trembled, and after a while, she said, "I don't know why the Duchess of Zhenguo came to my Zhao Mansion?" If you have nothing to do, please go back, my Zhao Mansion is too small to accommodate your big Buddha. ”
Qi Ruo's face suddenly turned cold: "Okay, then let's talk about business!" At the beginning, did you deliberately indulge Qi Mei? Did you deliberately let her have contact with Zhao Bingrong again? The purpose is to contain the fish! ”
"I don't understand what you're talking about." Mrs. Zhao clenched her handkerchief and sat down, "Besides, Qi Mei is Bingrong's concubine, if he wants to be with his concubine, can you still take care of it from the Duchess of Zhenguo?" What man in this world does not have three wives and four concubines? ”
Qi Ruoyi slapped the table: "I don't have a man!" ”
This is the place that can make all the women of Daqian jealous, the Zhenguo Gong of Daqian, who is worshiped as the god of war, can be said to be above ten thousand people under one person, he has not moved the slightest idea of taking a concubine, and he is also very fond of his wife.
Mrs. Zhao couldn't help but think of herself, she had been fighting with these little concubines of her husband Jun Na all her life, trying her best to be generous and decent, and tidying up everything in the back house, but what about Qi Ruo?
She can be unscrupulous, she doesn't have to worry about her parents-in-law, she doesn't have to fight wits and courage with her husband's concubines, and even if she gets into trouble, her husband will clean up the mess for her.
She admits that she was jealous too, after she could still say such things with the confidence of a moment.
"Duchess Zhenguo, thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, how do you know that you can have the last laugh before you reach the end?"
"Yes, but it's better than never getting it."
Qi Ruo pressed step by step.
"Mrs. Zhao, you are planning for the Zhao Mansion with all your heart, what did Lord Zhao give you? Lord Zhao only has the honor and disgrace of the Zhao family in his heart! ”
Zhao Li couldn't hold back his words in the end.
"Duchess Zhenguo, my wife has been associated with the honor and disgrace of the Zhao Mansion since she married me, and if I keep the honor and disgrace of the Zhao Mansion, I will keep her honor and disgrace, what do you say? What's more, it was her life for Ruan Yu to go, so what did it have to do with my Zhao Mansion? ”
Qi Ruo approached Zhao Li in a few steps: "What's the matter?" Can you still say such a thing today? Where are the fish, sorry for your Zhao Mansion? Isn't there enough honor for your Zhao Mansion? And what about you? Throw it away when you're done using it! I didn't think it would be the emperor who won in the end, right? You're turning against you so quickly! ”
Zhao Li was also annoyed: "Duchess Zhenguo, please respect yourself, I don't admit this kind of trumped-up charge, and our Zhao Mansion won't admit it!" Also, after all, this is the Zhao Mansion, not a place where you can sprinkle, and the world is still about justice! ”
Qi Ruo smiled suddenly: "You're right, there are still axioms in this world, you Zhao Mansion, none of them can escape, all of them are murderers!" ”
Zhao Li's eyes changed: "What?" Now this Yuanjing is the Zhenguo Mansion, is it up to the Mansion? Does the Zhenguo Mansion still want to cover the sky with one hand? ”
"The Zhenguo Mansion doesn't have the ability to cover the sky with one hand." Qi Mo slowly stepped into the lobby, walked beside Qi Ruo and stood beside him before saying, "It's just that the emperor gave me a little right, let me thoroughly investigate the Zhao Mansion and see if the Zhao Mansion has the intention of rebellion!" ”
"You ......"
Before Zhao Li could speak, he saw Qi Mo take out the holy decree leisurely.
"What? Are you not convinced? ”
As soon as Qi Mo's words fell, the people he brought gathered people from all over the mansion into the courtyard.
Zhao Bingrong was about to pounce when he saw Qi Ruo, but he was stopped.
"Second son Zhao, my wife can't be frightened, if you have anything to say, just say it." Qi Mo said coldly.
"Please, let me see Yu'er, Marquis Ning Yuan won't let me see it, I begged outside for a long time, but he didn't let me see it, and then I went to the ancestral tomb of the Ruan family, where there are also guards, please Zhenguo Gong, Zhenguo Duchess."
Zhao Bingrong knelt down as he spoke.
Qi Ruo only looked at it coldly and didn't say anything, but Qi Mo opened his mouth.
"I didn't know how precious it was when I got it, but now I have lost what kind of love saint I have here?"
Zhao Bingrong had nothing to say, but Zhao Li was so angry that he trembled.
"You rebel, your family is like this, and you still think about that dead man!"
Qi Ruo's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he stepped forward and gave Zhao Li a slap, which no one expected.
It was Mrs. Zhao who reacted first, and was about to step forward to fight back, but was stopped by Qi Mo grabbing her wrist.
"I'm still here, and you want to bully my wife? I don't know how you guys teamed up to bully her when I wasn't there! ”
With that, he shook Mrs. Zhao's hand away.
Mrs. Zhao couldn't stand such a strong force, staggered back, and was supported by Zhao Bingcheng.
"You ...... Don't deceive others too much......"
Mrs. Zhao has long been as elegant and decisive as Qi Ruo when she first saw her, it should be said that in this Yuanjing City, which is full of nobles, she is simply a small thing, and after seeing a lot, she doesn't think she has anything extraordinary, and she is still a woman trapped in a corner.
Qi Mei was also pulled out of bed at this time.
When she came, she immediately shouted: "Qi Ruo, you can't treat me like this, I'm your sister!" You will not let your father and mother go like this! ”
Qi Ruo only felt that Qi Mei's words were sarcastic.
"How long has it been since you've seen them? Have you ever worried about them? Besides, they? It's really not my parents, why should I spare you in their faces? ”
"I ...... I still have children...... Are you so vicious? Do you want us to die in one body? ”
Qi Mei was indeed panicked, she didn't expect the wealth of the Zhao Mansion to be so short-lived, she just wanted to hold on to her life now.
"I'm just an aunt of the Zhao Mansion, I don't know anything, you ...... Why are you arresting me......"
As soon as Qi Mei's words fell, Zhao Bingrong looked at her in surprise.
After a long time, he laughed and said: "I, Zhao Bingrong, have come to such a situation to really see your true face, and only then can I really believe it, it's really funny, it's really stupid!" ”
Zhao Bingrong smiled and leaned back, his eyes blurred with laughter.
"My wife is separated, I deserve it! I deserve it! ”
Qi Ruo was even more angry when he heard this: "You deserve it, what did Yu'er do wrong?" Pay for your stupidity! ”
Qi Mo hugged Qi Ruo tightly and patted her arm to comfort her.
She took a deep breath and said again: "Qi Mei, haven't you always wanted to be prosperous and rich?" I'll let you never get it for the rest of your life! And the child in your belly, don't worry, it will give birth to you! ”
Qi Ruo did what he said, and it didn't take long for the evidence of the Zhao Mansion's collusion with Prince Ren's Mansion to be presented to the emperor's case, and the emperor had no arbitrary reasoning, so he directly put the matter in the court.
Now most of the people in the court are from the emperor, and the emperor intends to give an explanation to the Marquis of Ningyuan, so that they can get angry, and the ministers will naturally not rush to find it unhappy, and propose a few sentences casually on the side, and everyone can get by.
Qi Mo and Ruan Chen had already passed the breath, and it was not appropriate for Ruan Chen to open his mouth, so he didn't say much, how to deal with this was proposed by Qi Mo.
Zhao Mansion is naturally going to be raided, Zhao Li, Mrs. Zhao, Zhao Bingrong and Qi Mei were exiled to the frontier, and the Zhao family will never be allowed to return to Beijing.
As soon as his voice fell, all the ministers echoed him, and the matter was settled.
Qi Ruo couldn't come back to his senses for a long time after hearing this: "I thought it was ...... My brother would have wanted them to die......"
Qi Mo sneered: "Death, it's too cheap for them." It's so good, it's painful to live, and what you want is out of reach for a lifetime. ”
Qi Ruo nodded: "It's okay." In fact, Zhao Bingcheng came to me at that time and wanted me to intercede for Qi Mei and let her give birth to the child and then go to the frontier to be exiled. ”
She looked at Qi Mo with a desolate smile in her eyes: "I refused." I said, but no one gave the fish a chance to give birth to the child and then leave. ”
Seeing Qi Ruo like this, Qi Mo felt a pain in his heart, and took the person into his arms: "Everything will be fine, as long as we miss her, then she will still exist in this world." ”
Looking at the clear sky outside, Qi Ruo was in a better mood.
"Ah Mo, when I'm well, you're not so busy, can you teach me to ride a horse? I want to go to the grassland in the suburbs to ride a horse, I want to go to Saibei, see the desert smoke, how good it is, how convenient it is to ride a horse. ”
"Okay, it's up to you."
Qi Mo was not without doting.
Hearing this, Qi Ruo was so excited that he seemed to have come to his senses, the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually faded, and after a while, he asked tentatively: "Ah Mo, Mo Shangshu, what are you going to do?" ”
This is what she has never dared to ask, but now she asked it, just because the day she promised Danzhi is getting closer and closer.
"Revenge!" Qi Mo replied simply without hesitation, "I failed my father, I have been working with him before his death, and I can't help him avenge him when he dies!" ”
These words were deafening and made Qi Ruo feel chills.
This year's winter, she thought, seemed extraordinarily long.
