Chapter 172: I don't know where to start
Reward?
It would be better if he was willing to take the initiative to reward, and it would save her from asking for a reward on her own.
"Father, if you want to reward your sons, it's not too late to reward your sons after eating." Qiao Jinyu chuckled.
"After all, you have only tasted one dish, if the rest of the dishes taste very bad, you have rewarded your sons with valuable treasures, are you not at a loss?"
Hancheng Jin was stunned for a moment, and then laughed loudly.
"Hahahaha! My son said very much, you have to taste all the dishes before you will appreciate them, otherwise I will lose a lot. ”
"Father, what do you want to eat? Erchen will serve you vegetables. ”
Qiao Jinyu was holding chopsticks and preparing to pick up vegetables, but Han Chengjin waved his hand.
"You hurry up and sit down, you haven't eaten yet, sit down and eat with me, as for the cloth vegetables, there are palace people to do it."
Qiao Jinyu was indeed hungry, so she didn't insist, sat down honestly, and ate with Han Chengjin.
The dishes she cooked were very much in line with Han Cheng Jin's appetite, and after eating a meal, Han Cheng Jin was a little bit hungry.
"Tell me, what reward do you want?" Han Cheng Jin stared at her with a smile in his eyes.
The palace people who were waiting to withdraw the dishes retreated, Qiao Jinyu stood up, lifted the hem of her skirt and knelt down.
"Father, if you really want to reward your sons, your sons beg you to wash away the stigma on your mother's concubine, and other than that, your sons don't want anything."
Han Chengjin was stunned, and his inky thick eyebrows were tightly twisted.
"What did you say?"
Qiao Jinyu, who has never only kowtowed to the Bodhisattva, kowtowed to Hancheng Jin.
"Father, I don't believe you've heard of the gossip circulating in the city."
"When the mother concubine went to Taining with you to deal with the flood, and finally fell into the river and lost her whereabouts, only a few people knew about it."
"Who maliciously splashed those dirty water on my mother's concubine, and who wanted to maliciously alienate my father's deep affection for my mother's concubine, this matter will be known as soon as you investigate."
Han Chengjin frowned, and his face was very heavy.
He didn't suspect that someone did it deliberately, and he also thought about ordering someone to investigate it thoroughly, but there was no way to investigate this matter.
The officials of the DPRK and the Central Committee are suspicious of any one of them.
However, rather than deliberately, he felt that it was probably an accident.
It is likely that when they were drunk, or inadvertently chatted with their own wives, they mentioned the events of the year, and then they were heard by the servants around them.
The partial servants did not hear it completely, and finally it spread all over the city.
There are so many people in Shengjing City, it is impossible for him to interrogate them one by one, ask them who they heard from those rumors, and then trace back to the source to find the person who spread the rumors.
After staring at Qiao Jinyu's stubborn little face for a while, Han Chengjin stood up from the seat and bent forward to support Qiao Jinyu's arm.
"Jinyu, you get up first."
"If the father did not allow his sons to investigate this matter thoroughly, the sons and daughters could not kneel for a long time."
Qiao Jinyu shook her head stubbornly, and her tone was extremely stubborn.
"Although Erchen has never seen his mother and concubine with his own eyes, Erchen knows that she must also hope that her father can find out the person who spreads rumors behind the scenes and return her innocence in front of the world."
Han Cheng Jin's brows twisted slightly.
How could he want his beloved to be burdened with such dirty water?
He really wanted to find out the rumor-monger and break the body into pieces.
But he really didn't know what to do about it.
After pondering for a while, he said truthfully: "It's not that I don't want to investigate, but I don't know where to start. ”
