Two hundred and fifty-eight: Regret

Seeing the emperor, Mrs. Lin didn't even raise his head, and knelt down as soon as he entered the door, saying in tears that he had not raised his grandson well, so that Lin Man did this kind of life-threatening thing.

"Get up." The emperor didn't face him with a good face, "I don't care if you love this matter or not, Lin Man's sin can't be washed away, now you have explained everything that should be explained, saving me a little bit of interrogation in the future." ”

After all, the death of a dancing girl can be big or small, and it doesn't matter at all compared to the major events of the family and country.

But the emperor's words also revealed another meaning, that is, everyone outside already knew that Lin Man said that he couldn't run away this time.

Mrs. Lin glanced at Lin Man with deep eyes, and solemnly kowtowed, "It's the minister's fault, please punish the emperor!" But Fanchen knows the slightest hint, and he will never let this rebel do such a big rebellious thing. ”

"So, you really don't know?" The emperor asked suspiciously.

Mrs. Lin held back tears, and looked up at the emperor with teary eyes, "Maybe the minister said that you don't know, you won't believe it, the minister is willing to be punished with this evil obstacle, and please ask the emperor for permission!" ”

The anger in the emperor's heart has subsided a little, but he still has no good face.

As the emperor, he already has a judgment in his heart, Lin Man is hateful, but the whole Lin family doesn't know about it at all, so he won't believe it at all.

But after all, it's just a dancing girl, can you still use this incident to convict Mrs. Lin? Besides, there is no evidence, so the matter has to end here.

The decision to behead the Empress Qiu seemed to be angry, but Bai Chuheng and the others knew in their hearts that this was the emperor leaving a way out for the Lin family, and he deliberately did not pursue Lin Taiwei and the others, but only brought Lin Man, the main culprit, out, which could be regarded as preserving the Lin family.

But this did not delay the Lin family from losing the hearts of the people, originally the people looked down on the Lin family for a hundred, and now that there is such an incident, it is even more unbearable.

The emperor supported the chair under him, and the peacock-shaped candle stand was a little farther away from him, so that the words on Bai Chuheng's letter in his hand were a little blurred.

The old chamberlain, who had served the emperor for many years, approached quickly, blaming the two palace maids for not being attentive, and personally moved the candle stand closer.

Then, he heard a sigh from the emperor.

"Yi Zhi, what do you think of Lin Man's incident?"

"Hey, your majesty, the decision you made is a holy decree, who can not listen to it? No matter how you look at it, the slave can't get on the stage, Your Majesty, you are torturing the slave by asking this! ”

The emperor smiled sullenly, "Don't talk to me, I'm asking you about the right thing." ”

The chamberlain named Yi Zhi put away his smile and said seriously, "This matter can only be handled like this, and the emperor has no problem with it." ”

"But just let the Lin family go, is it really good?" The emperor seemed to be asking him this question, but in fact he was asking the emperor himself.

"Your Majesty, the servant said something fair, and the little grandfather of the Bai family didn't come up with a single evidence to prove that Taiwei Lin was involved, right? Don't think about it, you don't have to suffocate yourself! ”

"In the past two years, the queen went first, and the princess was poisoned and almost died, even if I deliberately didn't suspect the Lin family, I couldn't do anything." The emperor's hand was slowly clenched, "Concubine Fang Cai and Xian came to beg me to let Lin Man go, but isn't it natural to kill people to pay for their lives?" What is there to plead for a life for a life? I don't know what to do! ”

"Your Majesty, you are angry!" Yi Zhi glanced at the palace maid next to him, and the palace maid hurriedly went out and came in with a cup of tea with a moderate temperature.

The weather is getting cooler, and in the blink of an eye, it's already autumn.

The old lady knew what Gu Jiangpeng had done, and what she had to do every day was to hold Su Jingyao's hand, sighed again and again, and scolded Su Yao from time to time, saying that he didn't care about Su Jingyao, and found her such a home, which is okay now.

About five or six days after returning to his parents' house, Gu Jiangpeng came.

He surprised everyone when he came this time, his left cheek was obviously swollen a lot, his right eye circle was slightly blue, and his arm was hung with a bandage, looking embarrassed.

"You areβ€”" The old lady couldn't get angry when she saw him, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"My mother taught me a lesson and made me understand things." Gu Jiang Pengshen lowered his head and said for a long time, "I'm here to pick up Jingyao and go back." ”

The old lady glanced at him and snorted coldly, "Don't think that I will forgive you for using a bitter trick here, if you can't solve your mess clearly, then Jing'er will stay at her mother's house and not leave!" Anyway, our Su family can afford to raise her, and we can afford to raise a child after giving birth, so we don't need you to pick her up! ”

Gu Jiangpeng naturally knew that the old lady was talking angrily.

He knelt directly on the ground, "It's my fault, it's me who bears Jingyao!" But I have changed my past, my mother said that a woman's life is difficult, if your own husband does not protect and do not understand, it will be even worse, even more difficult. ”

"What's so hard or not? Didn't you think the widow was in trouble so you came to help! The old lady's words were sarcastic: "It's not difficult for our Jing'er, you better welcome the widow into the door!" ”

"Grandmother, don't be angry, it's my fault, you beat me and scold me!" Gu Jiangpeng almost cried, "But Jingyao, she is pregnant with my flesh and blood, I am reluctant to let her be wronged, never again, beg my grandmother to give me a chance!" ”

Su Yao sat aside and sneered sarcastically, "Now you know that she is pregnant with your flesh and blood?" Let me ask you, if Jing'er is not pregnant with a big belly now, then your ancient family will let Jing'er go back to her parents' house? ”

"No, no, no, whether Jingyao is pregnant or not, she is the daughter-in-law of our Gu family, and the Gu family and I will never care!"

"Even if you say it, it's a human word!" Su Yao glanced at him and turned his face away.

The old lady stared at Gu Jiangpeng so hard that she almost stared at a hole in his body, she was afraid that she would not see through him this time, and push her precious granddaughter into the fire pit.

"I ask you, how did you settle the matter with the widow? If you don't have a letter of approval, don't ask me Jing'er to go back to your ancient home! ”

Gu Jiangpeng saw that there was a chance to talk about the matter, and hurriedly looked up and said, "My mother gave the widow a large sum of money and sent her to live in a house outside the capital, and the house should be given to her." ”

"Don't fool our family with this! God knows if you still have contact with the widow? What if she comes to you in the future? Or what if you go to the house to find her? What if she runs out of money? Wouldn't it be that I will be wronged with you three times twice! ”

The old lady got to the point, to put it bluntly, it was not that he didn't forgive him Gu Jiangpeng, but that he had to make a choice in this matter, and then make a decision after making the choice, how could he break off with the widow completely.

A few years ago, Su Yao promised again and again in front of the old lady that he would never favor Cao Qianlian again, but was it useful? If it weren't for the fact that he had thoroughly seen through Cao Qianlian this time, I am afraid that he would still be drunk in Cao Qianlian's gentle township.

Gu Jiangpeng also knew that what the old lady said was right, and without thinking too much, he immediately promised that "there will be no day, my mother will not tolerate me having an outer room outside, Jingyao is always my wife, this is an unchangeable fact, if she comes to me in the future, I will never meet her, if she comes to me because she has no money, then I will let people arrange a salt merchant for her, anyway, there is always a way to settle her, let her live by her own labor, but Jingyao is different, she is pregnant with a big belly, if she leaves her husband's house, I am afraid that she will be poked in the back, That's cruel! I can be imposing here, if I am still unclear with others, I'm sorry Jingyao, then swear by the lamp, and the lights will go out! ”

The old lady and Su Yao glanced at each other, obviously not trusting what he said.

After all, if you swear an oath, if you believe it, if you don't believe it, you don't have it, who knows when and how a person will die? If you take half of your life because of a vow, wouldn't it be too worthless!

Gu Jiangpeng said that he shed tears in the depths of his love, "I didn't care about Jingyao and Yi'er in the past, and I usually felt that there was nothing at home, but I have been at home these days, looking at the empty house, without Jingyao to take care of it, without Yi'er's laughter, I always feel empty in my heart, like losing something very important, I regret it, I really regret it, I regret it when Juan Niang hooked up with me when I was drunk, but she said that if I broke off with her and didn't give her money to spend, then she would come here to tell you, I really regret making a big deal about it..."

"Alright, take back your unassailable tears for me! It doesn't have to look like a girl's house! Su Yao said with some disgust, "It is said that men don't flick when they have tears, it's a good thing that you get lost and know that you have returned, but if you take Jing'er again in the future, I will never spare you!" Whether you poke the backbone or not is an outsider's business, you know, I am now promoted, if you really can't live with Jing'er, I also have a way to clean you up, so that you don't even have to do the imperial business, remember no! ”

"Remember, remember!" Gu Jiangpeng barely squeezed out and laughed together, his whole face was swollen and bruised, and he looked very weird.

But the old lady was still very angry.

"I'm not as talkative as he is, and I'm not as foolish as he is! Let me tell you, Jing'er is married to my henchmen, I often ask them about Jing'er, if anyone comes back to say that you are not good, then you just wait for your heart to be empty! ”

The matter has come to this point, although the old lady and Su Yao have forgiven Gu Jiangpeng, but if the parties do not forgive, it will be in vain to say anything.

Su Jingyao is very angry, she can endure her mother-in-law's troubles, she can endure everything, but she can't stand being betrayed alone.

If he entered the door in the concubine room generously, then she would not be so sad at all, but he didn't!

The thought that he had been by the side of other women made her feel uncomfortable, and she didn't want to go back several times, but forced herself to let go.
