Chapter 218: You Don't Care About Your Family?

"What did you say? What other family members?" Dong Zhongheng was stunned for a moment.

"Like, your mother." Sheng Qingyuan said lightly.

Back then, Dong Zhongheng and Zuo Ye cooperated with Chu Xuanjin to detain the Zhenguo Mansion for collaborating with the enemy and treason.

The exile of the Zhenguo Mansion is a good thing for Yanbei, originally, Dong Zhongheng should have been rewarded as a meritorious hero.

It's just that Zhenguo Gong has never been a fish to be slaughtered, although he has been put aside, but he has also left a back hand.

Although the Zhenguo Mansion has been exiled, he is still alive, and Zuo Ye is also worried that if Dong Zhongheng turns back and gives the Zhenguo Mansion a chance to clear himself, then everything they have done will be in vain.

In order to ensure that everything went smoothly, Zuo Ye first sent someone to send Dong Zhongheng a silver tael and told him to shut up, and then quietly invited a killer to kill him.

At that time, Ye Yuxing lurked in Yanbei and did something to Dong Zhongheng's family's industry, so that almost all of his industries were closed, and he owed a lot of money.

This news was sent to Dong Zhongheng's opponent by Ye Yuxing, who wanted to come to the door to get dirty, but happened to meet the killer sent by Zuo Ye.

Dong Zhongheng had a hot brain at that time, and used his strength to use these killers to get rid of his political enemies.

As soon as this incident happened, it was shaken out by Ye Yuxing and others.

Privately accepting a huge amount of silver taels from important ministers of the enemy country, bribing the killer to design and kill the ministers of the DPRK and China, even if Dong Zhongheng is meritorious, he cannot withstand these two crimes.

Dong Zhongheng was greedy for life and afraid of death, and he didn't want to endure the disaster of imprisonment or exile, so he left the capital before the government came to arrest him, and finally hid in the current cottage.

In the past few years, although there has been little talk about Dong Zhongheng's arrest, there have always been his sea fishing documents.

Hearing his mother, Dong Zhongheng's face suddenly turned pale, and he subconsciously asked in a trembling voice, "She...... How is she?"

Sheng Qingyuan looked at him lightly and said, "You were convicted of two crimes at the time, but you left without explaining anything, everyone thinks you are absconding in fear of crime, what do you think will happen to your family on those two charges?"

Dong Zhongheng lowered his head.

According to the two charges convicted of him at that time, it would not be an exaggeration to ask all over the house, which is why he immediately wanted to leave as soon as he heard the news at that time.

However, when he left, he forgot his mother, who was still meditating at the temple, and did not take her with him.

It's just that since he has left, his mother is afraid that he can't escape, right?

"Your mother is still alive." Sheng Qingyuan said to him.

Hearing Sheng Qingyuan's words, Dong Zhongheng's face was already as dead as ashes just now, and his eyes suddenly lit up a little brighter at this moment, "What did you say? My mother is still alive?!"

Sheng Qingyuan said, "Although your suspicion is very great, you have not appeared, and you cannot be completely convicted."

Sheng Qingyuan said with a bit of sarcasm: "Coupled with the calculations of you and Zuo Ye, the Zhenguo Mansion was wronged alive, and some people asked whether there was a possibility that you were wronged in this incident, so your family has always been fine."

Knowing that his family had not been beheaded, and that he was even alive and well, Dong Zhongheng's heart that had been carrying it was completely put down, and he sat on the ground weakly.

Sheng Qingyuan looked at him coldly and said to him, "Although you have not been convicted yet, and your family is fine, but after so many years, you have not appeared, and everyone has already decided that you have absconded in fear of crime. In this case, what kind of public opinion environment will your family be in? The mother of a collaborator and traitor? With such infamy and status, how should the people around you perceive your family?"

As soon as these words came out, Dong Zhongheng, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, felt a deep sense of guilt on his face at this time.

Sheng Qingyuan continued: "Your mother never believed that you collaborated with the enemy and treason, but she also felt extremely sad because of your defection, and cried every day, so that now her eyes are almost invisible, and the people around you are also because of your affairs.

No one wants to help her, and her life is very difficult."

Dong Zhongheng's tears couldn't help falling, and he murmured, "Mother, it's my son who is sorry for you."

"Yes, of course you're sorry for your mother, but if you choose to get lost now, you may be able to be worthy of your mother, who has been explaining to others that you haven't done these things for so many years." Sheng Qingyuan said coldly.

Dong Zhongheng looked at Sheng Qingyuan in a daze.

Sheng Qingyuan looked at him and said, "As long as you are willing to tell everything that happened back then and what you have done, not only can your mother feel at ease, but your mother's eyes can also be healed, and in the future, you can also be an upright person."

In the end, Sheng Qingyuan said, "At the very least, you have to let your mother know that you are still alive. It is the most painful thing since ancient times for a white-haired person to send a black-haired person, and in the past four years, you have not sent any letters to your family since you disappeared, and some people have rumored that you have died and committed suicide in fear of sin, do you know how you have suffered for your mother in the past four years?"

Dong Zhongheng's tears couldn't stop flowing.

The big boss on the side listened to the conversation between the two of them, and became more and more confused, not knowing what was going on, only knowing that the woman in front of him made his always calm military advisor cry silently with a few casual words.

"I warn you, you don't talk nonsense here, you better be honest about who you really are and what you're doing here?!" The big boss said to Sheng Qingyuan sharply.

Sheng Qingyuan glanced at him lightly, "I just said, I am a member of the Bai family, if you want to know anything, just ask your second master."

"Second child, second child, hurry up, she is a girl, don't be confused and deceived by her words." The big boss hurriedly said.

Dong Zhongheng slowly stood up and looked at Sheng Qingyuan, "How can I be sure that what you said is true? Why should I trust you?"

Sheng Qingyuan took out a jade pendant and said, "This is the jade pendant you bought for your mother with your first share after you entered the barracks."

Dong Zhongheng took the jade pendant in Sheng Qingyuan's hand for the first time, and looked at the jade pendant like a demon.

It's this jade pendant, it's this jade pendant.

Sheng Qingyuan looked at Dong Zhongheng's very precious appearance of this jade pendant, and continued unhurriedly: "Over the years, your mother has no income, her eyes are almost invisible, and her life is very sad, but even if she is hungry and has nothing to eat, she has sold everything that can be sold at home, but she has not sold this jade pendant of yours."

Dong Zhongheng carefully put the jade pendant in his arms, caring for it like a jewel, and tears fell one after another.

"Your mother is still waiting for you at home." Sheng Qingyuan said to him.

Dong Zhongheng was obviously moved, but then he asked, "Even if I go back with you and I confess everything at that time, I still have a crime that cannot be washed away, and it will not affect my family at that time?"

"I can guarantee you and your family are okay." Sheng Qingyuan's voice was faint, but his tone was very determined.

"How can you guarantee that? Can you still influence the execution of the court?" Dong Zhongheng couldn't help but ask with a little disdain in his tone.

Sheng Qingyuan said softly, "I can."

Seeing Sheng Qingyuan's promise so lightly, Dong Zhongheng couldn't help but be shocked for a while.

What did she say?

Can she still influence the execution of the imperial court?

Sheng Qingyuan said: "I can cure your mother's eyes, and I can also ensure that your mother and son can have a stable life in the future, but I have one condition, you must make the things of the year clear."

When Dong Zhongheng was about to agree, Sheng Qingyuan said: "Not only make it clear to Yanbei, but also go to Da Zhou to make it clear, and tell everyone in Da Zhou how you slandered the Zhenguo Mansion together with Zuo Ye back then."

Dong Zhongheng looked at Sheng Qingyuan in a daze, and opened his mouth slightly, not knowing how to express his mood at the moment, let alone whether he should agree.

If he goes to Da Zhou now, then he is afraid that he will not only be charged by Yanbei again.

With the prestige of the Zhenguo Mansion in the Great Zhou, he partnered with Zuo Ye to frame him

Zhenguo Mansion, I'm afraid he won't be able to get out of Da Zhou, right? How can you still live a good life with your own mother.

Sheng Qingyuan seemed to see through Dong Zhongheng's worries, and said lightly: "I said that as long as you are willing to confess all the things that happened back then, then I can protect you for the rest of your life."

Dong Zhongheng looked at her in shock.

A woman who looks so thin, what guarantee does she have?

This is a matter related to the two countries, can she still control the courts of the two countries?

"Who the hell are you?" Dong Zhongheng asked again.

Seeing that Dong Zhongheng was obviously shaken, the big boss said to him anxiously, "Second brother!! You sober up!! Such a crude piece of jade pendant can be found anywhere, don't believe what this demon girl says."

Facing the roar of the big boss, Dong Zhongheng didn't seem to hear it.

He knew that it was this jade pendant, and there would be no mistake.

When he finally bought this jade pendant, and when he was careful to take it home, he accidentally bumped into a person on the road, and the jade pendant was broken into a small corner, and when he gave this jade pendant to his mother, his mother not only did not dislike it, but said that it was unique.

Dong Zhongheng was willing to believe what the woman in front of him said.

However, is she really capable of guaranteeing him and his mother's future life?

"I am from the Bai family, and my husband's name is Chu Chengchi." Sheng Qingyuan said to him lightly.

Chu Chengchi?

Chu Chengchi!!

Dong Zhongheng finally reacted, and his pupils suddenly widened.

He finally remembered who Chu Chengchi was, the grandson of Bai Ting, the Duke of Zhenguo, and the prince who was most valued by the Emperor of the Great Zhou back then, and the prince who was most likely to become the next emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty but died young.

He, he's still alive?!

Looking at Dong Zhongheng's shocked appearance, Sheng Qingyuan said lightly: "He is still alive now, back then, Zuo Ye and Chu Xuanjin's plan failed to kill him, now, we need to return the Zhenguo Mansion to a clean slate, if you are willing to testify, I can guarantee that you are safe."

"What about Yanbei?" Dong Zhongheng asked.

A voice suddenly came from behind them: "It seems that your cottage in the ravine is not very well-informed."

The big boss and Dong Zhongheng immediately turned to look behind them, and when they saw the strange man behind them, their faces suddenly changed.

Only they could enter, but why did these people come so easily?

King Heng looked at Sheng Qingyuan in the cage for the first time, and was slightly relieved to see that she was fine, but his face was still not good-looking, he stepped forward quickly, waved the long sword in his hand, and split the lock of the cage with a sword, and brought Sheng Qingyuan out.

"I shouldn't have agreed to your plan, if I let the imperial brother know, I'm afraid I'll have to skin me." King Heng looked Sheng Qingyuan up and down, and was relieved to see that she was safe and sound.
