"Privately lending debts?" Sheng Changhou chewed these words repeatedly, revealing an expression of disbelief, "Why did you give him such an unreliable charge?" What does the palace say? ”

He wasn't very worried, he was really startled just now, and now he was completely calm.

He felt that Sheng Xiuyi would not act like this, and the trumped-up charges would not hurt him too much. He is the emperor's teacher, and he has the new emperor behind him to support him.

He just wanted to know what the hell was going on.

The third master, Sheng Xiumu, was not as indifferent as his father, he said hurriedly: "It was Gonggong Shen beside His Majesty who told me, and I learned that my eldest brother was imprisoned by someone from the Criminal Department." Early tomorrow morning, after several scholars discussed, the eldest brother will be handed over to Dali Temple, and His Majesty is also anxious. ”

The lord and young minister suspected that several of the older auxiliary ministers and scholars did not trust the new emperor very much.

As the confidant of the new emperor, only his teacher Sheng Xiuyi is the only one.

Knowing that Sheng Xiuyi was taken down by the Criminal Department, the new emperor was more worried than anyone else. He was afraid that this was a conspiracy, and those old ministers wanted to make the new emperor "obedient", first of all, they had to make him lose his strong arms, and he could only rely on those old ministers.

It's not that the ministers have different intentions. They just thought that the new emperor was too young to take on the heavy responsibilities of the world. Just like parents, they don't feel at ease about handing over their family wealth to their young children. They need their children to be obedient and obey their parents' arrangements until they reach adulthood, and their parents will let them fight on their own.

The new emperor had just ascended the throne, and those old ministers were always afraid that he would not be sensible, so he changed the government indiscriminately and made the people miserable.

The new emperor only trusted Sheng Xiuyi.

So they need to take Sheng Xiuyi first.

"How many college students?" Marquis Sheng Chang originally didn't expect that His Majesty informed Sheng Xiumu.

At this moment, Sheng Xiumu said that it was told to him by Gonggong Shen, and with the acumen of Sheng Changhou's decades of political career, he immediately sniffed out the unusualness in it.

He handed Brother Cheng in his arms to the nurse on the side, and went to the small study of Yuanyang Pavilion with the third master.

He asked the third master: "Does your eldest brother lend interest debts outside?" ”

Since it is a few scholars who want to take Sheng Xiuyi, they naturally will not be guilty of unwarranted crimes. I'm afraid that interest lending is a real thing. Sheng Changhou thought of this, and he was depressed for a while.

His son used such means to enrich himself.

He also thought that Sheng Xiuyi had been doing nothing.

In the years when his feelings made him taoguang, he went to do these improper things?

The third master hurriedly shook his head: "I don't know." Then he thought about it and added, "Big brother didn't make many friends before. Later, after becoming the young master of the crown prince. There were some contacts. When others talked about the eldest brother, they all gave a thumbs up, saying that he acted skillfully and acted boldly. I never told you. I thought he was using his sister-in-law's dowry......"

Hearing people outside praising his eldest brother, the third master was also proud in his heart.

He didn't know where his brother's money came from. Later, I happened to hear that my sister-in-law not only had a rich marriage, but also a lot of private money that had not been recorded at the beginning.

The third master secretly speculated that the sister-in-law gave the eldest brother money, so that the eldest brother was not restrained when he went out.

If these things are broken, the eldest brother will be embarrassed, so the third master never asks.

He wouldn't tell Sheng Changhou even more. The third master knew that Sheng Changhou had a good face. If he knew that his son would use his daughter-in-law's dowry, Sheng Changhou was afraid that he would scold people again.

If it weren't for that. The third master would never have thought that his eldest brother, who was calm and quiet, would actually do such things as lending interest and debts.

And being able to be imprisoned by the Criminal Department shows that he has more than one life lawsuit.

"You say he's acting out there, and he's very arrogant?" Sheng Changhou asked.

The third master said yes.

Sheng Changhou didn't answer for a long time.

Seeing that his father was silent, the third master also beat a drum in his heart, and after a while, he carefully reminded: "Daddy." What should we do now? ”

Sheng Changhou still didn't speak.

After a while, he got up and said, "Don't tell your family about this matter for the time being." If your sister-in-law sends someone to inquire, she will say that I will let your eldest brother go to Jinan Mansion to buy some fertile land. I'll be back in a few days......"

The third master still wanted to ask, but he could touch his father's sharp gaze, and he took back the words that came to his mouth, so he had to be.

When the inner courtyard was about to fall into the key, Dong Yu heard about Sheng Xiuyi's trip to Jinan Mansion.

She didn't believe it.

She knew that Sheng Xiuyi went out for the second master's business. Either Sheng Changhou and the third master were also kept in the dark, or they were hiding it from her.

Either way, Sheng Xiuyi must have had an accident.

She thought for a while, got up and called Rose, Xunfang, and Biqiu: "I'm going to Yuanyang Pavilion." ”

Rose and the others were slightly shocked.

"Grandma, it's going to be lost, or else. Let's go back tomorrow, shall we? Rose persuaded, "You want Brother Cheng, right?" ”

She knew that Dong Ying was worried about Sheng Xiuyi, so she used Brother Cheng to divert Dong Jin's attention.

Dongyu always remembered in his heart that Sheng Xiuyi said that he would go to see the second master. The second master got into trouble, Sheng Xiuyi went to deal with it, and then never returned, which is definitely a problem. She knows. The news from Yuanyang Pavilion was what her father-in-law wanted her to know.

Dong Yu was not satisfied with this.

She doesn't like Sheng Changhou to act like this, treating women as canaries in a cage, just giving women a superior environment, and not needing women to understand the wind and rain of the outside world.

But husbands and wives shouldn't be like that.

At least the marriage of Dongyu and Sheng Xiuyi does not need to repeat the marriage pattern of Sheng Changhou and Mrs. Sheng.

Even if she couldn't do anything, she needed to know what happened to Sheng Xiuyi.

She got up and smiled at Rose: "Go and light a few bright corner lights, let's go to Yuanyang Pavilion." ”

The voice is soft, but the tone is unmistakable.

Rose still wanted to say something, but when she touched Dongyu's eyes, she sighed slightly, so she had to swallow her words, and said yes softly, so she ordered her mother-in-law to light the bright corner lamp.

Rose and Xun Fang supported Dongyi, Biqiu and Yaotao followed behind, and two rough envoys carried lanterns, illuminating the way for them before and after, and followed Dongyu to Yuanyang Pavilion.

The inner courtyard has been locked, and the mother-in-law on the corner door everywhere heard that it was the eldest grandmother, so she hurriedly opened the door, and then secretly asked what was going on behind her back, and went to Yuanyang Pavilion in the middle of the night.

When I arrived at Yuanyang Pavilion, Mrs. Sheng had already rested, and Marquis Sheng Chang went outside and did not come back.

Mother Kang was about to go to tell Mrs. Sheng, but Dongyu stopped her: "Madame finally fell asleep, don't wake her up." Hou Ye is not in the house, did he say where he went? ”

Dong Yu also knew that at Mrs. Sheng's age, it was not easy to have a good night's sleep, and once she woke up, she might not be able to sleep in the middle of the night.

"It was said that the eldest young master of the Yongningbo Mansion was looking for him, probably because of the Yongningbo Mansion......" Kang's mother recalled what Sheng Changhou said to Mrs. Sheng before leaving, and told Dongyu.

Because of the Empress Dowager's affairs, Yong Ningbo was imprisoned.

Yongningbo Mansion is suspected of poisoning, but there is no real evidence. Those Dali Temple Cheng would never dare to say that they would go to the Queen Mother. Therefore, the case of Yongningbo Mansion has been dragged on and has not been concluded.

Because Yongningbo's eldest granddaughter was the concubine of the new emperor, Yongningbo did not suffer most of the sins in prison.

Marquis Sheng Chang went to run for Yongningbo, and there were cases of not returning all night before, and Mrs. Sheng was not worried.

Dongyu understood that Sheng Changhou went out this time, definitely not for Yongningbo, but for Sheng Xiuyi. Her heart was in her throat.

If it wasn't a big deal, would Sheng Changhou need to go to mediate for Sheng Xiuyi overnight?

"The prince didn't come back, I heard that he went to Jinan, I want to ask when he will come back?" Dongyu smiled and explained to Kang's mother.

Mother Kang smiled: "Master Hou said that he will come back in two days, don't worry." There are often things in the family that the prince goes to run, and he knows him very well. ”

Dong Yu nodded slightly: "Mom, you can rest too, I'll go back." ”

Kang's mother helped her busily: "It's not easy to walk at night, mom will send you back." ”

Dong Yu hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no!" You see, I have brought so many people here, where do I dare to work mother? I can't bear to disturb it so late. Wouldn't it make me even more uneasy to ask my mother to send it again? ”

Mother Kang laughed and told Rose: "Serve Grandma well and walk carefully." ”

Rose said yes.

As soon as Dongyu and his party left, Kang's mother asked the little maid to close the courtyard door, and she heard movement in the inner room. Mrs. Sheng was woken up by the footsteps of everyone's camels, and called out to Kang's mother and asked, "What happened at such a late hour?" ”

Her voice was a little anxious.

Mother Kang comforted her with a smile: "Grandma came to ask about the prince, don't get up......"

Kang's mother was also a little uneasy in her heart. Although the third master came in and said that the prince had gone to Jinan Mansion, from the demeanor of the Hou Ye and the third master, Kang's mother could feel that something was wrong. And now that the eldest grandmother is running late at night with her body in her arms, Kang's mother is even more certain.

Her heart was also pounding, but she didn't dare to show it in front of Mrs. Sheng again.

"You didn't send someone to tell her about Brother Yi'er going to Jinan Mansion?" Mrs. Sheng asked rhetorically, with a bit of inquiry in her tone.

"I said it." Kang's mother smiled and said, "You still don't know about the eldest grandmother and the prince?" The two of them are still the same as when the grandmother newly entered the door, and they can't leave at any time. ”

Mrs. Sheng was a little suspicious.

And Dong Ying came out of Yuanyang Pavilion, looking at the red lantern at the entrance of Yuanyang Pavilion casting a dense light, she stood for a long time without moving her feet.

Rose looked at each other.

"Grandma, the night wind is cold, let's go back quickly, right?" Rose whispered to Dongyu.

Dong Yu thought about it, looked at the direction of the second master's Xigui Courtyard, and nodded slowly for a while.

In the early morning of the next day, Dong Yu got up early, and did not go to Mrs. Sheng's Yuanyang Pavilion, but said to Xun Fang: "You go quietly to inquire, is the second master in Xiguiyuan or at Aunt Xu's......"

She heard that the second master has been doting on Aunt Xu very much recently.

Xun Fang was slightly surprised, but he didn't ask anything in front of Dong Ming, and said yes, to inquire about the second master.

"Early in the morning, ask the second master what to do?" Although Mother Luo knew that Dongyu was worried about Sheng Xiuyi, she didn't know her intentions, "If you want to ask about the prince, it's better to ask the third master." ”

When she meant that, the second master was not intimate with the brothers of the prince, and the third master was the closest to the prince. Instead of asking the second master, it is better to ask the third master...... (To be continued)
