Pang Shi was anxious and said, "Master Hou, what should I do then?" "I thought that after Begonia was arrested, the Zeng family would finally be able to regain their Qingming and live a good life in the future, where did they think that such a disaster could be shared? Pang was very angry, because of Begonia, her life was almost involved, and now she was implicated for the big crime committed by Begonia, which is really wronged.

Zeng Yukun saw that his mother was in a hurry, and hurriedly said, "Mother, don't worry. Isn't there nothing wrong with our family now? Originally, our family was affected by Begonia, and we wanted to raid the family and exterminate the clan, but it was not the son who followed Miss Mingyue out to make a great contribution, and my sister was about to marry Miss Mingyue's brother-in-law. At this time, if our Zeng family is moved, Miss Mingyue's face will not look good. Miss Mingyue has not yet ascended to the throne of the national teacher, and she has made great contributions to the national court, and if she can't be rewarded, where can she slap Miss Mingyue in the face? ”

Pang Shi looked at Zeng Shilun.

Zeng Shilun sighed and said, "Yes, I am a sinner." The title of the Zeng family, two hundred years of glory was almost destroyed in my hands. I am ashamed of my fathers and fathers. Luckily, I still have two competing children. With Miss Mingyue's protection, I took the initiative to confess my guilt to the emperor. The emperor saw that I was still sincere, so he gave such a punishment. ”

"I don't deserve any more titles and titles. The emperor asked me to hand it over, and the official position was arranged separately by the imperial court, and the title was given to Yukun. I was not allowed to stay in the capital, and the emperor asked me to live in the suburbs of the capital. Because I thought about it, I can't bring a bunch of concubines or something, and I will deal with these concubines at home. ”

"In addition, the ancestral property of our Zeng family, the emperor does not want it, this is to be inherited by Yukun. These properties in my own hands, the emperor, wants me to take all of them to my daughter to the Qin family, which can be regarded as helping the Qin family and rewarding Miss Mingyue. So, Yutong, this extra share that your father gave you, you must hand it over to Miss Mingyue. ”

Zeng Yutong himself is a generous person, and he doesn't take money very seriously. I understood it all at once. The emperor meant that, if she didn't hand over this part of her assets to Qin Mingyue, she was afraid that her father's life would still be in danger. The matter is related to the life of the old father, how can she not be careful. She hurriedly said, "Why don't you go to Qin's house now and give these to Mingyue first?" ”

Zeng Shilun said: "The emperor said that after you get married, you will have to act according to your will." Can't give it now. ”

Zeng Yutong had no choice but to say: "Please rest assured, father, I will do it well." ”

Zeng Shilun looked at Zeng Yukun again and said, "You took someone to copy the yard of the begonia, and the begonia should still have some property over the years." These are ill-gotten gains obtained under the guise of the power of our Zeng family. No matter how much this part is, you have to register it, list it one by one, do it quickly, and send it to the palace to the emperor, which can be regarded as the emperor's confiscation of our family. ”

When Zeng Yukun heard this, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly took his wife Hu to the courtyard of Haitang, and at the same time sent people to the suburbs to copy all the property hidden in the suburbs of Haitang.

It's just two hours of work, and Zeng Yukun is about to take the housekeepers to search out all the things hidden in Begonia.

Zeng Shilun had been sitting anxiously in his wife's main room, and when he saw Zeng Yukun coming over with a booklet, he hurriedly asked, "How is it?" ”

Zeng Yukun's face was not good-looking, he said: "Father, see for yourself, how much property does Begonia have?" ”

Zeng Shilun was busy looking at the past, and there were a lot of dense lists on the booklet, including farm properties, shops, business, jewelry, gold and silver, antique calligraphy and paintings, etc., totaling more than 200,000 taels. Even Zeng Shilun gasped. He has been an official all his life, and he has only saved up so much money, but Haitang has made so much under his banner, no wonder the emperor is angry.

Zeng Shilun seemed to be holding a hot potato in his hand, and hurriedly said to his son: "Hurry up, you hurry up and go into the palace and hand these over to the emperor." ”

Zeng Yukun didn't dare to slack off, so he was busy taking things and entering the palace.

In the evening, Zeng Yukun came out of the palace, and he didn't care about drinking saliva, so he went straight to the main room, and saw his sister, wife, mother and father all waiting anxiously, and hurriedly said: "It's okay, the emperor is no longer angry with our family." When I saw these things, I just asked the inner supervisor to put them away and put them in the inner warehouse. The emperor also said, "Father, although you have moved to the suburbs, you can still come back during the New Year's holidays and there are major weddings in the house." ”

As soon as Zeng Yukun said this, Zeng Shilun burst into tears, couldn't help but stand up, walked to the middle of the room, knelt down heavily, and kowtowed to thank the emperor for his grace.

Zeng Yukun waited for his father's mood to stabilize before helping him up and sitting down.

Zeng Shilun wiped his tears and asked, "Why have you been in the palace for so long?" ”

Zeng Yukun said: "When my son entered the palace, it happened to be Xie Xiang, the national teacher discussed matters with the emperor, and my son could only wait outside the palace all the time. When they left, the son went in and presented these things, and the emperor was still very happy. After saying your forgiveness to my father, I left my son and asked our family in detail about the preparations for my sister's marriage. He also asked me how I felt about going out with Miss Mingyue. Talking a little more, naturally the time takes longer. ”

Zeng Shilun, who has been an official all his life, still doesn't understand that this is his son who is already in the emperor's heart. Thinking that his son was so promising, Zeng Shilun was very emotional. He had committed a capital crime, and if it weren't for his children, where would he have escaped?

Now that he has been reborn after the catastrophe, he admires his son even more and is determined not to leave him with difficulties.

Zeng Shilun said: "Yukun, the emperor has rewarded you very much, you have to remember the holy grace and be diligent in the king's affairs, you know?" Assist Miss Mingyue with heart. ”

Zeng Yukun was busy.

Zeng Shilun said again: "You have inherited the title, and your sister is going to marry again." During this period of time, there are many things, so let's not mention them for the time being, and when your sister returns to the door, I will give your two brothers out of the house. ”

Zeng Yukun was shocked: "Father, you and your mother are here, the two brothers have already got married, and they are doing well in the house, why do you want to separate them?" ”

Zeng Shilun said: "You have inherited the title, and you are the head of the family." Dividing out the concubine is also a better way for you to manage the mansion. Besides, your two brothers have already married and had children, and I have prepared their houses for them in the early years. I also gave them their own business early on. Some of them live, some of them have property, why are they still in the house? I'll be in charge, and I'll divide it. In this way, your brothers will have fewer conflicts in the future. If they are good and know that they are close to you, you will pull them in the future, and if they are not good, you will have less contact with them in the future. Rest assured, I've got you covered. I'm in charge, and no one will say you're unscrupulous. ”
