Censor Chen indeed failed to convince his brother-in-law.
He originally thought that there was always someone in this family who could listen to things, but he didn't know that except Fang Zhengrong, there was actually no one in this family who could be helped.
No wonder when he was in danger on the road and had no news, Fang insisted on marrying him, but was severely tortured.
It turned out that he was not really doing it for his daughter's own good, but because he felt that his daughter could not be sold for a good price.
He sneered.
All favors are limited, and once they are used up, they are gone.
But when Master Fang treated Censor Chen again, he was different. He still had a smile on his face, holding Censor Chen's hand, but his nose was turned upside down, and he looked somewhat complacent, and couldn't help but curl up his lips: "Your Majesty is finally in the emperor's favor."
Isn't it the emperor's will? If not for the emperor's will, she wouldn't have become the queen, and she wouldn't have given birth to the little prince.
But the more important the little prince is, the more the Fang family should rush to beg for money and mercy at this time. This is courting death.
Chen Yushi looked at him and was even more speechless. He took his wife home. He was a civil official and usually rode in a sedan chair when going out, but today he didn't want a sedan chair. He hurriedly got on the carriage and leaned against the wall and said, "Let's settle the family accounts tomorrow. Let's start from now on."
He said this in a decisive manner without any hesitation. Mrs. Chen was so shocked that she froze in place. Before she could react, she blinked her eyes and asked him in disbelief, "What did the master say?"
Miss Fang Liu's wedding banquet had just ended, but for some reason her parents had doubled the girl's dowry, as if they were afraid that they would have no place to spend the money. They carried out loads of dowry, which was really eye-catching.
When Mrs. Chen Fang got married, she only had 66 loads of dowry. Although the girls of this generation had a better life, they had already discussed that the family could only give 88 loads of dowry at most.
Today, it seems that the number has far exceeded this.
She brought two beds as a dowry, one was a exquisitely crafted bed with pomegranates and grapes carved on the inside, and the other was a rosewood bed with a moon-shaped door. Both were exquisite and elegant, and people who saw them could not help but envy them.
She still hasn't come to terms with her mother's family's wealth, but her husband suddenly said something like this, and she was still a little confused.
Mr. Chen looked at his wife and said, "You know what kind of person I am. You are the same person. You can't accept this marriage with the Fang family."
Mrs. Chen stood there in a daze, leaning against the wall of the car. She slowly sat up from the carpet and looked at Mr. Chen. After a while, she asked, "What happened? Did the Fang family do something wrong?"
She knew her husband best. However, now that Emperor Longqing had a son, and this child was born to Empress Fang, her husband, who supported orthodoxy, could only be closer to the Fang family.
Even if they are not close, they should try their best to control their family members and prevent them from causing trouble for Queen Fang and the prince.
But now, he just broke off the engagement.
He would never have said such a thing if something irreversible had not happened.
Censor Chen felt his eyes a little sore, raised his hand to wipe his eyes, and told her calmly: "Something has indeed happened. Didn't you notice that your mother's family has made a fortune?"
Of course she discovered it. Fang nodded numbly: "Yeah, I also think something is wrong."
"We are husband and wife, so there is nothing to hide from you. I tell you honestly..." Censor Chen leaned forward and held his wife's hand, frowned, shook his head in annoyance, and said, "My eldest uncle is too careless. Ever since the Empress gave birth to the little prince, he feels that he is really the uncle of the emperor. But even if he is the uncle of the emperor, he can do what he should do and shouldn't do what he shouldn't do. He just doesn't understand this principle and even dares to take the money from Prince Duan!"
Prince Duan?!
Mrs. Chen was shocked and confused. She lowered her head to calm herself down before signaling him to continue.
"Why did His Majesty investigate the salt deficit case thoroughly this time? How many people in the capital were mobilized! Isn't it just to use this as an excuse to deal with Prince Duan?" Censor Chen sneered, "But my uncle was blinded by money and didn't know whether to live or die. He actually dared to take the money sent by Prince Duan, and then went to the palace to persuade the Queen Mother to plead for him!"
Madam Chen gasped immediately. After hearing what Censor Chen said, even the hair on her back stood up. She felt cold wind blowing into her neck from all directions. She was completely stunned: "They... They are crazy!"
They actually dared to save the person that His Majesty wanted to kill!
Censor Chen snorted coldly.
Isn't that crazy? If you weren't crazy, how dare you think so highly of yourself
If Queen Fang had any sense, she should not have agreed to such a ridiculous request from her family. Not only should she not agree, she should have directly nipped her family in the bud.
Her husband was deliberately trying to eliminate future troubles in order to pave the way for their son, but he didn't expect that she was sabotaging him behind the scenes. One can imagine how angry Emperor Longqing was.
This was a big problem that the Fang family posed to Emperor Longqing.
Emperor Longqing is the emperor, how could he tolerate this? !
It’s ridiculous that the Fang family still can’t see the situation clearly and are still feeling complacent about themselves for being able to get such a huge fortune.
Mrs. Chen leaned against the wall of the car and finally felt her body go limp. She glanced at her husband and said nothing for a long time.
She also knew what her husband was saying. No matter what, Emperor Longqing was still the emperor. These people were really crazy and blinded by money. They didn't even think about the fact that they were nobles and had such face because of Empress Fang!
Killing the goose that lays the eggs is short-sighted...
No wonder Censor Chen said he wanted to break off this engagement.
Madam Chen just felt bitter. The family was already extremely wealthy and the smart ones should have been more contented than before. If they were contented, the Empress would have no worries and would be more stable. But she didn't know that they couldn't even see through this.
The queen is also a fool, she actually agreed to this idea of her family...
Her heart was like a bottle of five flavors turned upside down, with all kinds of tastes, sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty. After a long time, she nodded in shock: "I understand, I will do as the master says."
Obey your father at home and obey your husband after marriage. She is now a member of the Chen family. She can't sacrifice her own family for her mother's family. She still has sons and daughters, and she has a family to take care of. How can she accompany the Fang family to go crazy? !
Besides, they have done what they should do. It was the Fang family who refused to listen. No matter how much they say, it will only make people annoyed. In this case, it would be prudent to stop as soon as possible.
