Lin You had dinner at Shang's house, and knowing that they had a lot to say, he took his leave and left.

Now that the Shang family is surrounded by officers and soldiers, it is not easy for Mrs. Shang to keep him and let Shang Mingyuan send him out.

Mrs. Shang took Shang Mingjie's hand and said, "Mingjie, grandmother has something to say to you." ”

The second Mrs. Shang wanted to speak and stopped, got up and wanted to follow, Shang Danzhu grabbed her quickly, and said in a low voice: "Mother, wait, when the old lady and the second brother finish talking, the second brother will come to greet you." ”

Mrs. Shang's face was a little ugly, and she said anxiously, "What do you know?" Who knows what the old lady will say to Mingjie? ”

Shang Danzhu was helpless and said in a low voice: "It's all this time, what else can the old lady say to the second brother?" ”

Naturally, it is a family affair with the Lin family, as well as the future of the Shang family.

Mrs. Shang sneered: "There are many ways to say one thing, who knows what the old lady will say?" ”

Shang Danzhu was a little irritated and said, "What does Mother want the old lady to say?" Could it be that the relationship between the second brother and the Lin family will be discordant in their future life? ”

"Are you questioning me?" Second Mrs. Shang couldn't help but raise her voice, glared at her daughter in disbelief and said, "The Lin family took advantage of the fire to rob, how can you not see ...... like the old lady?"

"Mother," Shang Danzhu interrupted her and lowered his voice, "The Lin family is not taking advantage of the fire to rob, this is a deal!" ”

"Let a few children surnamed Lin, Aunt Lin will protect the people of the Shang family," Shang Danzhu said in a deep voice: "I don't know how the Lin family operates, but I know that to keep the people of our family, the price to pay will not be too small, you can see your uncle's family." ”

All of Mrs. Shang's words were blocked in her throat.

"With Cousin Lin's identity, with the current power of the Lin family and Aunt Lin's ability, whether Cousin Lin is recruiting or marrying, the status of her husband's family will not be too low. But why did they choose the Shang family? Shang Danzhu said softly: "After this incident, what else does our Shang family have, and what else does the second brother have?" It's just because Cousin Lin and the second brother are childhood sweethearts, and the two have feelings, so Aunt Lin is willing to make this transaction. ”

"This is a transaction, and it is also a sentiment, so don't say anything like the Lin family taking advantage of the fire to rob," Shang Danzhu said with a stern face: "I won't listen, and the second brother is not stupid, he will think for himself." You're just deceiving yourself. But in addition to making you feel better, it will not bring us any benefits, but will also estranged the Lin Shang family. ”

"Mother, if you want your second brother to live a peaceful life in the future, don't mention such things in the future, it's best not to even have ideas."

Shang Danju stood silently aside, and when she saw her mother-in-law's face changing, she stepped forward and whispered: "Mother, the old lady is in the house, you might as well go back first, and when the second brother comes out, I will tell him and the third sister to let him go and greet you." ”

Mrs. Shang's lips couldn't help but tremble, and she only felt that the whole world had betrayed her.

She glanced at the inner room, turned around and walked away.

Shang Danju sighed faintly, stepped forward to support Shang Danzhu and said, "Sit down." ”

Shang Danzhu couldn't help but rub his forehead, his eyes were red, and said, "My mother used to be quite shrewd, why is she getting more and more confused now?" ”

Shang Danju lowered her eyes and said, "Mother only has a second brother now." ”

So it's normal to want to hold on to him.

Shang Danzhu was stunned for a moment, and became even more distressed.

And in the house, Mrs. Shang was also talking about his mother, "Your mother is getting more and more confused, your uncle took your father to do such a big thing, and she, as a sister and wife, didn't know anything at all, and didn't know how she did to be this housewife." ”

Shang Mingjie stood with his hands folded and his head down.

Old Madam Shang sighed slightly, "I don't dare to hand over this family to her in the future, and now that our family is separated again, your sister-in-law will not be able to control your house in the future." Fortunately, I have betrothed you to marry, and after this incident, you will marry......"

Shang Mingjie's eyes widened, and he lost his voice: "What, what? Engagement? Old lady, have you beset me to marry? ”

Old Madam Shang showed a smile on her face, patted his hand and said, "Look at the one who scares you, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's none other than your cousin Lin!" ”

His heart went up and down, Shang Mingjie covered his chest, he only felt that the wound was a little painful, but his brain was blank, and the old lady's last words seemed to be swirling in his mind.

He was dizzy for a while before coming back to his senses, and asked blankly, "The old lady didn't lie to me, I really got married to my cousin?" Is it Sister Yuhama? ”

"It's not your sister Yubin, which cousin do you have?" Old Madam Shang glanced at him and said, "I have already exchanged tokens with your Aunt Lin, and I will give you a formal decision as soon as this case is over." ”

Shang Mingjie smiled stupidly, and then asked happily, "Old lady, what are Aunt Lin's conditions?" ”

Although he was stupid, he also knew that Aunt Lin was willing to promise her cousin to him at this time, and she would definitely not be unconditional.

Old Madam Shang sighed slightly, "There is only one, in the future, your children will have the surname Lin every other time, and they will inherit the Lin family in the future, which is equivalent to two families on your shoulders." ”

It is semi-redundant.

Shang Mingjie was pleasantly surprised, "Just this condition? ”

Old Madam Shang muttered, "This condition is not enough?" ”

"My cousin's children and I are good regardless of their surname Shang or Lin," Shang Mingjie said happily: "Anyway, it's all our children, aren't they?" ”

Old Madam Shang couldn't hold back her sadness and said, "It's good that you can think like this." ”

Even if Mrs. Shang is reluctant in her heart, she will not say it at this time, so as not to leave an imprint on the hearts of the two children, and it will not be good to live a good life in the future.

So she tried her best to forgive him and said: "Your Aunt Lin has a great kindness to our family, and you and Yubin have grown up together, so you must treat her well in the future and don't bully her." ”

Shang Mingjie nodded again and again: "Grandmother, don't worry, I will definitely not bully my cousin." ”

Old Madam Shang nodded with satisfaction, "Husband and wife are harmonious, and they have a good life, even if it is more difficult now, it will be fine in the future." ”

She sighed and said, "It's grandmother who can't stand you, the good family is scattered, and you and Yubin will have to start everything from scratch in the future." ”

"Grandmother, don't worry, even if I am no longer an official, I can support you and my cousin." Shang Mingjie said confidently.

"Good boy, it's not in vain that I love you all these years."

When Shang Mingjie came out of the main room, his whole temperament was different, and his three meters were filled with an atmosphere of "I'm very happy", Shang Danzhu couldn't help but roll his eyes when he saw it, and the sorrow in his heart disappeared a lot.

"Don't be happy yet, let's go see my mother, right?"

Shang Mingjie asked with a smile undiminished, "What's wrong with my mother?" ”

"No, I'm just not happy that half of your future children will have the surname Lin."

Shang Mingjie frowned slightly, and asked puzzledly, "What's wrong with this?" My first child is still surnamed Shang, anyway, they are all children of me and my cousin, who has a different surname? ”

"Mother doesn't think so."

Shang Mingjie said happily: "What's the matter, she will figure it out slowly in the future." ”

The key is not that he is married to Cousin Lin?

This is something that makes him wake up with a smile when he sleeps, "I'll visit Aunt Lin tomorrow and ask about our family." ”

"It's to see your cousin Lin, right?" Shang Danzhu asked a little jealously.

Shang Danju couldn't help laughing, "Second brother, it's not good for you to go to your mother-in-law empty-handed, are you ready for something?" ”

Shang Danzhu perked up, "That is, you can't take out the things at home now, do you want to go to see Aunt Lin empty-handed?" ”

Shang Mingjie was also distressed, he brought back a lot of small things this time, all of which were interesting things he saw on the road, and then Tuo Linyou bought them, but they were all gadgets for his cousin and sisters, how could he take them to meet Lin Qingwan?

Shang Mingjie thought for a while and said, "Although there is no heavy courtesy, I still have to come to the door, I can't let Aunt Lin come to see me, that's too rude." “

Shang Mingjie decided to go out early tomorrow morning to buy some gifts.

"Okay, don't think about it, Aunt Lin is not unfamiliar with your courtesies, let's go to see my mother first, and then go back to the house to rest." Shang Danzhu asked in a low voice, "Is your wound really okay?" ”

Shang Mingjie smiled: "It's okay, it's been raised for a month, you see that I can come back in a hurry, what else can I do?" ”

Shang Danzhu breathed a sigh of relief, "Go see your mother, she has been in a bad mood since the accident, and her personality has changed a little, if you say something bad, don't take it to heart." ”

Shang Mingjie responded, he knew his mother better than his sister, and he also knew the entanglement between the Zhao family and the Lin family.

At the beginning, the marriage between him and his cousin could not be decided because his mother was opposed, and now although it has been decided, his mother may not be happy in her heart.

So he could almost guess what she would say, Shang Mingjie didn't care, the future was for them to live by themselves, and his mother could just give a suggestion.

After Mrs. Shang met with her son, she found that neither her daughter nor her son wanted to hear her talk now.

She only felt aggrieved in her heart, but she didn't dare to make trouble, and now she was surrounded by officers and soldiers outside.

Mrs. Shang's aggrieved silence, this silence has a lower right to speak at home, and her sense of existence is almost the same as that of Mrs. Shangda.

But Shang Danzhu and the others breathed a sigh of relief, they were really afraid that Mrs. Shang would make trouble regardless of the overall situation, and it would not be good to annoy the Lin family when the time came.

And in this silence, news slowly came from all over the world, and officials involved in Zhao Jie's treason case were arrested and imprisoned one after another.

The case was divided into two, the main culprits were tried by the Dali Temple and the Criminal Department in the capital, while the follow-up matters on the Jiangnan side were handled by the four princes.

The four princes listened to the opinions of the imperial court, combined with the actual situation, and made a judgment under the assistance of Sun Guan's envoy.

The insiders verified by the Zhao family were all sent to the capital to be handed over to Dali Temple for review, and the rest of the family members decided the exile itinerary according to the degree of intimacy with Zhao Jie and Zhao Sheng.

Because Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao had meritorious service, they were demoted to another level of exile and sentenced to 800 li of exile, and their children followed.

Although they are exiled, they can still survive, and if their mothers remember some old feelings and arrange some belongings for them, they should not be too sad when they arrive in the place.

But in the same way, it's hard to get better.

At the same time, the verdict of the Shang family also came out, in view of Shang Ping's voluntary surrender, he denounced Zhao Jie and exempted them from the death penalty, and because Shang Mingjie saved the four princes, he could lower the sentence by one level, and Shang Zhao took the initiative to cooperate with the capture of Liao Xizuo, and the Shang family was finally sentenced to retract the title and confiscate the family property.

Shang Ping was exiled for 1,000 miles and served hard labor at the border pass.
