Chapter 168: Deception and Concealment

When Xia Yan heard this, he was even more determined to deal with Feng Yuanzheng and the Ding family, and immediately called:

"Yuexin, you ordered to use the resources and manpower left by the current chief helm to find out all the information about Feng Yuanzheng for me, especially the evidence of Feng Yuanzheng's corruption and bribery in the past few years."

When Yuexin heard this, she immediately said respectfully: "Little master, rest assured, the slave and maid will definitely investigate Feng Yuanzheng clearly." ”

Xia Xiaoxi raised her face to look at Yuexin, who disappeared in an instant, and asked in surprise:

"Gardenia, who is the heart of the moon, how can he have such kung fu."

Xia Yi didn't want to deceive Xia Xiaoxi, but he couldn't tell Xia Xiaoxi, so he thought for a long time and said:

"Yuexin is the person sent to me by my grandfather, Xiaoxi is relieved that I am the only one who is loyal to Yuexin."

In the palace.

Xia Chengbo knelt on top of the main hall, his back straight, although he was respectful, but definitely not humble.

The emperor looked at Xia Chengbo, who was kneeling in the hall, and said:

"Xia Aiqing still uses such a trivial matter to make trouble in the main hall, Xia Xiaoxi is a person from the Xia Gonghou Mansion, he was fostered in Feng Shangshu Mansion before, and now what is wrong with returning to the Xia Gonghou Mansion, what is there to dispute about this, go and send someone to recruit Feng Yuanzheng."

Xia Chengbo kowtowed to the emperor and said:

"This is a sparse and ordinary thing, but how can Feng Shangshu and Ding Shilang's Mansion communicate to marry Xia Xiaoxi to Ding Meng, presumably the emperor must know something about Ding Meng, how can that person be worthy of Xia Xiaoxi, Feng Shangshu and Ding Mansion must have a family affair between Xia Xiaoxi and Ding Meng, Xia Xiaoxi is a person from Xia Gonghou's Mansion, Feng Shangshu is too deceitful, he can ask for the opinion of Xia Gonghou, he can inform Wechen, he can obtain Wechen's consent, the parents' order matchmaker words, the eldest brother is not in Wechen is Xiaoxi's parents, This is the family affair set by Feng Yuanzheng and Ding Shilang, and the ministers do not agree, let alone agree. ”

The emperor thought for a long time before he remembered Ding Meng, and immediately said with a face:

"Isn't Ding Meng imprisoned, is it possible that he is still doing a lot of evil in Kyoto City."

Xia Chengbo immediately came to his senses when he heard this, it seemed that Feng Yuanzheng was deceiving his superiors and subordinates, and immediately said:

"Ding Meng does all kinds of evil, but he is the nephew of Feng Yuanzheng's wife Ding, Feng Shangshu is covering Ding Meng in the three, and the emperor doesn't know that this Ding Meng has been rampant in Kyoto City and Dongliao."

When the emperor heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold light burst out, and he said coldly:

"Okay, good, good, I never thought that Feng Yuanzheng would dare to fool me, how could it be that Feng Yuanzheng had a few heads."

Feng Shangshu Mansion.

Feng Yuanzheng and the Ding family were happy, the news that came out at this time is now known all over the city, they want to see what Xia Chengbo can do, this Xia Xiaoxi and Ding Meng have already exchanged their birthdays and exchanged their relatives, and they already have a marriage contract.

Who knew that Feng Yuanzheng and the Ding family were not allowed to be happy, and after a while, someone came to the palace and summoned Feng Yuanzheng and the Ding family into the palace.

Feng Yuanzheng and the Ding family were at a loss, what did this good emperor do when they summoned them, and at that moment Feng Yuanzheng took out a certain amount of silver from his waist, stuffed it into the hands of the father-in-law who came to deliver the decree, and asked:

"Can the father-in-law tell the emperor what happened to the ministers?"

This father-in-law is the person on duty in the main hall, but when he saw that the saint was eager to eat Feng Shangshu, even if this set of silver was attracting him, he didn't dare to take it.

Immediately shirked and said:

"Feng Shangshu is polite, but he is not meritorious, the servant is just a messenger, and he doesn't know what the emperor summoned Lord Shangshu to say."

When Feng Yuanzheng and Ding heard the words and saw this father-in-law's actions, they knew that something was wrong.

This father-in-law's palace clothes are the father-in-law who is on an errand by the emperor's side on Youpin Street, and if this father-in-law does not accept their silver taels and does not tell them what happened, he knows that this trip must be life-threatening.

At that moment, Feng Yuanzheng and the Ding family glanced at each other, then changed into official uniforms and followed their father-in-law into the palace.

Dongliao Ding's family.

Ding Meng was talking to a maid at this time, and he didn't know how to dodge under the eyes of everyone, so he frolicked in the small garden.

Old Madam Ding roared from the garden door:

"Meng'er, what are you doing, don't you hurry up and get off that cheap maid, you are a noble son, how can such a cheap maid get close, your aunt has sent a letter, and you and Xia Xiaoxi have been tied together to set a family affair, and you will marry her when Xia Xiaoxi and Lu are married, and then you will have a lot of family property at your disposal."

Ding Meng reluctantly got up from the maid, looked at the old lady and said:

"Grandmother, my grandson doesn't want to marry a wooden lump, Xia Xiaoxi doesn't know anything about love and fun, the whole person is like a chaste martyr, the little hands of Lala are going to die and live, and the grandson can't stand to marry such a daughter-in-law."

When Mrs. Ding heard this, she couldn't wait to knock on Ding Meng with a cane, if it weren't for Ding Meng being so ignorant, how would she look at Xia Xiaoxi, an orphan girl, if it weren't for Xia Xiaoxi's family wealth, how could she let Ding Meng marry her.

It's annoying that Ding Meng doesn't understand her hard work, although Xia Xiaoxi is a little stupid, but he is from the Houmen, how can the rules and etiquette be comparable to the ordinary official family, and this daughter-in-law is married to a decent person who can preside over the mansion, if according to Ding Meng's idea, he will marry a woman who will have fun with him.

Mrs. Ding said bitterly to Ding Meng:

"Meng'er, when you marry Xia Xiaoxi, you don't let you train her, if you dislike her too much, you can train her, and when you get her Wanguan family wealth, you can abandon her at any time, grandmother is not a reasonable person, grandmother has thought about it for you, if you and Xia Xiaoxi really can't get along, grandmother will find a way to help you give Xia Xiaoxi a break, and what kind of woman does Meng'er want to marry at that time."

Ding Meng immediately showed excitement when he heard this, and stepped forward and said:

"It's still my grandmother who thinks about Meng'er, unlike my father and mother, who only have the second and third brothers in their eyes and don't have any grandchildren."

……

Xiagonghou Mansion.

Xia Xiaoxi has not left Xia Yi for half a step since she woke up, but the whole person is not speaking, Xia Yu instructed Zijin and others to prepare a meal, Xia Yu put the dishes and chopsticks in front of Xia Xiaoxi, and said:

"Xi'er, you can have some meals with me."

Who knew that Xia Xiaoxi did not go to pick up the dishes and chopsticks, but shook his head and said listlessly:

"Gardenia, I'm not hungry, I can't eat."

Xia Yi finally let go of her mind when she heard this, Xiaoxi finally spoke to her, if she continues like this, I am afraid that it will not reach the point where the matter will not be resolved, and Xiaoxi will force herself to death.

Xia Yi looked at Xia Xiaoxi and said:

"Xi'er, if you don't take care of yourself without food, how can you have the strength to fight against your uncle and aunt Ding's family, my father has entered the palace, I don't know if the emperor will summon you into the palace at that time, if you can't support it and can't tell it, wouldn't it be a waste of your second uncle's hard work, Xi'er is for you and me, you must hold on."

When Xia Xiaoxi heard this, her already dead eyes lit up a spark, and said:

"Will Emperor Gardenia really summon me, I can really escape from the Feng Mansion and the Ding Mansion without marrying Ding Meng."
