Chapter 397: The Dust Has Settled

The royal family unified their opinions, and Gu Shao secretly added fuel to the fire, and the uproar of smallpox could finally be settled-although Lu Ningye, the small county lord of Yiwang, was instigated, his behavior was mad, and indirectly led to the death of the second prince.

So she's definitely not going to make it!

The Yiwang Mansion was also affected, and the Hefu was demoted to a concubine.

The Empress Dowager thought of King Yijing's biological mother, and in the end ordered them to keep some of their property, otherwise this family would be used to being kept in captivity by the royal family, so they were sent down the mountain like this, and what would happen to them!

The Yiwang Mansion is still like this, and the Lu family, as the mastermind, does not need to say: Lu Yicheng has already made his own self. In the end, he was still deprived of all kinds of glory and titles during his lifetime, and was only buried with the rites of the people.

In addition to Lu Xu's children, his family members were all sentenced to beheading at the age of sixteen, and the officials were confiscated at the age of sixteen, and the family property was confiscated and put into storage.

After this result came out, although people who were familiar with the Lu family still had some doubts in their hearts, because they had been in contact with Lu Tingquan on a daily basis, they felt that although this young man was upright, he didn't seem to be a person with too many thoughts, and he might not have come up with such a vicious plan.

As for Lu Yicheng, he is on the right side and has a great future, so why should he ignore the lives of his children and grandchildren for the sake of his old wife? Especially the death of his old wife Huang, I can't really complain about Song Yixiao: Song Yixiao is not good at all about the Song family, let alone whether the Huang family himself is good?

The Huang family had to go to Song Yixiao's trouble, but he picked up a stone and smashed the feet of his own side, causing the royal family to die in anger, can this be blamed on Mrs. Yanguo?!

Even if Lu Yicheng doesn't help his relatives, as for using smallpox? This time, it is fortunate that Emperor Duanhua is fine, otherwise he would have killed this emperor, even if the Lu family was not exposed, wouldn't he, a hero from the dragon, fight for his life in vain?

However, not only the royal family, but even Gu Shao and other important ministers said so, and these private doubts disappeared.

After all, the Lu family committed such a big thing, and the evidence is conclusive, even if they have a relationship, they are afraid of being dragged into the water, so they can only think about the two children in the second room of the Lu family who were saved due to Lu Xu's head, and take care of them in the future, which can be regarded as a complete old favor.

After the whole thing was over, Empress Wei was reminded left and right, and then remembered that she had placed a Song Lu family under house arrest in the side hall!

Although it is said that the Lu family has provoked the anger of the royal family this time, the Lu family is already a wife of the Song family after all, and it has nothing to do with her what kind of tragedy the family has.

So Empress Wei summoned her to her again, and she didn't say anything serious, but only told her what happened, and said: "Now that the matter has been clarified, you can go back, the three children in the family are not very old, and they will miss you when you leave these days." ”

Lu Shi held back tears and retired - tears rolled down before she left the palace gate, and the attendant who led her to the palace looked pitiful, and did not blame her, but led her to a secluded place and cried for a while, and saw that she had collected her emotions, and then sighed and persuaded her: "Grandma Lu thinks about the words of the queen's mother: you still have three children at home, and you are looking forward to your return day and night!" ”

"Grandpa Xie mentions!" Lu Shi wiped his face indiscriminately, took off the silver bracelet on his wrist and wanted to give it to him, but the waiter didn't ask for it, shook his head and said, "Grandma doesn't have to be like this!" ”

Lu didn't insist, and when he arrived outside the palace gate, he turned around and bowed to him deeply, saying that he remembered his kindness, and then left.

Of course, it was impossible for her to leave the palace to return to the imperial capital immediately—especially after listening to such a thunderbolt on a sunny day—so she went back to the Song family to rest in the courtyard of Cuihua Mountain first.

When she was summoned to come before, she had brought someone to clean it, which would be convenient for her to enter the door.

It's just that when the steward here came to say hello, a suggestion made her suddenly lose color: "I heard that Yan Guogong and Miss Jian are almost all over there, does grandma prepare something to send over to congratulate them?" ”

Of course, the steward said this not with the intention of blocking her, but he thought that the Lu family had always been very good to Song Yixiao before, not to mention that he had been giving generous gifts during the New Year's holidays, and he usually didn't forget to give a copy to this stepdaughter if he had any delicious and good clothes - not to mention that Yan Guogong's father and daughter had smallpox?

Moreover, what happened to Jian Xubai's father and daughter and the second prince is currently believed to be the Lu family's doing. The steward also reminded the Lu family to show goodwill to the Yanguo Mansion as soon as possible, so as not to be affected by his mother's family!

But the Lu clan was thinking about ten thousand arrows, and when he heard this, he was furious, and he raised his hand and pushed a complete set of secret color porcelain tea sets on the case to the ground, and said through gritted teeth: "Don't mention that cheap to me again. Person!!! ”

Seeing that the steward was stunned, Lu Shi realized her gaffe - she gasped for a few breaths, and was not in the mood to comfort or explain, she only waved her hand to let him go down, and told him to leave left and right, she was the only one left in the room, Fang hugged her head, curled up on the chair, and cried!

She doesn't have a maiden home anymore!

Father, brother and sister-in-law, nephew, niece...... Familiar faces kept emerging in front of him, and Lu's heart ached indescribably: the Lu family has two sons and one daughter, she is the only daughter, and she is the youngest, so she has been very favored since she was a child, whether it is her parents or brothers and sisters-in-law, including nephews and nieces, they are very good to her.

It wasn't until after Huang's death that people such as Lu Tingquan became indifferent to her.

But even though the Lu family knew that Huang's death had something to do with her accidentally leaking the news to Song Yixiao, after she planned to assassinate Wei Mengying and put the blame on Mrs. Pang - Lu Yicheng still stood up at the first time and spoke for her with the dragon's skill!

Her father is not a person who is indifferent to fame and fortune, starting from the subordinate officials of the East Palace, how many years of conscientious work, accompanying the prince to the Duanhua Emperor today, finally hard work, and finally a bumper harvest, but he is willing to propose a tribute to her unfilial daughter!

When Huang was given death, Lu Yicheng did not come forward to intercede for his wife.

When it was his daughter's turn, he did it, which shows how much he loves the Lu family.

And now, this father who loves her and protects her, along with the familiar brothers and sisters-in-law and nephews and nieces, are all gone!

Although it is said that nephews and nieces under the age of sixteen will not be directly executed, but the sons and daughters who have always been pampered and pampered will be sold into slavery by the officials—what will happen? Will you be able to survive in those places? Lu didn't even dare to think about it!

Even if the official slave can be ransomed, the Lu family knows that even if the Song family is extremely rich, it is impossible for her to buy her nephews and nieces.

Because one of the most important crimes of the Lu family is to murder the second prince!

How could the family of a criminal official who had a grudge against Xinjun for killing his son let his aunt buy back to the Song family to eat and drink and raise it?

The only people in the entire Lu family can live, and probably only the children of the Lu Xu family.

The Lu family doesn't hate the Lu Xu family, and she can understand the feelings of this second sister-in-law as a mother - not to mention that if the Lu Xu family doesn't do this, the Lu family won't even be able to keep those two children!

"Daddy, how nice it would have been if I had listened to you in the first place?!" Guilt, grief, self-blame, sadness...... All kinds of emotions rolled in Lu's heart, and she thought bitterly, "If I had never tried to reconcile with Song Yixiao, if I had never tried to please her, if I had listened to my mother's words and kept guarding her, maybe my mother would not have died, then Tingquan would not hate her, and the Lu family would not have an accident!" ”

The Lu family didn't know what kind of undercurrent there had been behind the smallpox incident, and even the prime minister Gu Shao personally led the current result.

She thought it was really Lu Tingquan who did it to avenge the Huang family.

Although she is more familiar with her own nephew than those who are friends with the Lu family, the Lu family herself is an example of a great change in personality - so Lu Tingquan changed his previous impulsiveness and came up with such an idea to take revenge on Song Yixiao in order to raise his grandmother Huang, Lu felt that it was understandable and sympathetic.

That's why she hated herself all the more.

After all, the Huang family wanted to eradicate Song Yixiao, mainly because they thought that Song Yixiao was deep in the city and deeply indebted to the Song family, and they were worried that she would be unfavorable to the Song family after she gained power.

——In the final analysis, the Huang family is preparing for a rainy day for his daughter's family!

"Why does Song Yixiao want to live well?" Lu Shi thought with resentment, "If she had died a long time ago, if she had really been crippled by her husband in the first place—then she would not have married Yan Guogong!" If she can't marry Yan Guogong, all these things won't happen!! ”

Once she thought that as long as Song Yuan and Song Yixiao's father and daughter reconciled, she would have no regrets in her life.

Now she found that since Song Yixiao appeared in her life, her life was full of regrets.

And it is an irreparable regret.

"Song, Yi, laugh!" Lu's deepest Qingming actually knew that it was wrong for him to blame his stepdaughter for all his mistakes.

But now she has to find someone to hate - just like after witnessing Song Yuan's death, she survived by hating Wei Mengying and angering Mrs. Pang.

Although Empress Wei and the unknown chamberlain both mentioned her child.

But sometimes it's not enough to be a "mother".

…… Song Yixiao in the courtyard didn't know that hating herself had become the driving force for her stepmother to support her at this moment.

She is now shocked by the sudden news: "Succession?!" ”

"Madam, you don't know, this time the smallpox incident was said to be done by the Lu family, but in fact, although the Lu family has a share, the mastermind is the old prince and the concubine!" The person who came to report the news was sent by the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom - because it has been almost a month since Jian Xubai's father and daughter came out of flowers, Song Yixiao is still safe and sound, and everyone knows that the courtyard where she lives is fine.

Although the forbidden army around the courtyard did not leave, some people sent by those close to him were allowed to enter and leave.

It's much more convenient than before when you could only shout through the door, after all, people near the door can hear it, and you can only leave it out if you don't talk about it.

At this moment, the servant woman approached Song Yixiao, and Fang whispered, "It's just that Your Majesty is afraid of losing the face of our Royal Highness, and thinking about the future of the third prince and the grandfather, thinking that this kind of thing about the father harming the son and the ancestor harming the grandson in the Jian family is really not good!" Only then did I decide to quietly dispose of the two - the middle queen mother heard the news, and proposed that you have been married to your grandfather for three years, always keep filial piety, and hinder the heirs, the queen mother said, the third master has no children, and has always been good to the grandfather, it is better to ask the grandfather to pass on to the third master, so that there is no need to keep it for three years, but also the uncle and nephew relationship between the third master and the grandfather over the years! ”

When Song Yixiao speculated about the real culprit of smallpox before, he suspected Jian Pingyu and Jian Likuang, and after listening to the words of this servant woman at this moment, thinking that her mother-in-law has always doted on her children, her family has suffered such a big loss this time, and there is no prince in the palace, so the truth found out must be no problem!

Hearing this, she didn't doubt it, and she was so angry that she died for a while, but since these two people had been found out and doomed to a miserable end, she didn't have to say anything cruel, she only cried: "Husband, but what does it dislike my grandfather and father, whether it's beating or scolding, after all, it's my kinsman's flesh and blood, why do you have such a poisonous hand?!" If it weren't for His Majesty's pity, such a thing would have spread out, how would this Jian family behave up and down in the future? ”

The servant woman is the person of the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, and her position is of course towards the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, and she said at this moment: "Who said it wasn't?" Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has been saying that her grandfather has been greatly wronged for the past two days - Her Royal Highness specially asked the slave maid to tell you that the grandfather passed to the knee of the third master, and in the future, the two of you can only call Your Highness 'Second Aunt', but Your Highness still treats you as your own flesh and blood after all! ”

Song Yixiao watched the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom treat Pei Yourui, a bloodless righteous daughter, as a pain in her heart, so of course she believed this, but this matter was really abrupt, the Empress Dowager and they were anxious about Jian Xubai's heir, as for passing him on?

Although the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom is the most worried about Nie Wuying among the children, her attention and connivance to Jian Xubai is about a little worse than Nie Wuying, how can she be willing to let this son succeed?

Song Yixiao couldn't help but suspect that these words were beating herself, and at this moment she tentatively said: "My mother has always treated me like her own daughter, and she is even more considerate than my mother-it's not that my mother-in-law is not good, it's just that I lived in Hengshan Palace, and my mother-in-law can't say anything about many things-I've been loved by my elders in my life, and the most I have been there is my mother!" How can I let my mother have a share with my husband because I failed to give birth to a male heir for my husband? Actually, I also looked for a few good maids earlier......"

"Madame, don't say that!" As soon as the servant woman heard this, she knew that she suspected the so-called succession theory, but she was actually euphemistically urging her to take a concubine for her husband, and hurriedly said, "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess doesn't mean this, your highness will be sad when you hear this!" ”

He whispered again, "Actually, because the horse has never treated the grandfather well, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has long thought about passing the grandfather to the third master, so as not to control the grandfather with filial piety in the future." It's just that I didn't plan to bring it up so early - in the final analysis, it's also because the third master has always loved the grandfather, and there is no child under his knees, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess thinks that the third master will have a step-heir sooner or later, rather than a nephew and nephew who is not familiar with the big house, it is better to pass the grandfather who the third master looks at the growth of the grandfather! ”

"I see!" Song Yi smiled and said secretly, "So my mother-in-law is also thinking about her husband!" It's just that my mother-in-law used to think so, but now Jian Pingyu and Jian Lili don't live long, but how can they worry about their elders in the future? This argument is a bit far-fetched. ”

Combined with her mother-in-law's preferences, Song Yixiao's heart jumped, and a vague and disrespectful thought arose-quickly extinguished, stabilized her mind, and asked the servant about the recent situation of the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom.

Some things are better to be confused.
