When the two rulers and ministers came out of the inner hall, Zhao Luli had changed into a clean robe, and walked quickly to Mr. Guan and Father Guan and knelt down.
"The younger son-in-law has pleaded guilty to the law, and now he went to the Tingwei Mansion to assist in the investigation of Ye Quanyong's case, and he also cut his title and demoted him to a commoner. , I have no regrets, and I especially apologize to my grandfather-in-law and father-in-law. My son-in-law is confused, and every misconduct, oversight, and blunders make Suyi sad and sad. I will definitely make up for it in the future and treat her well. Not to die!"
Old Master Guan and Father Guan looked at each other, waved their hands, and said, "Get up. Knowing your mistakes can make a big difference, and I hope you can do what you say. It's good to be there. It doesn't matter if you don't have the title, I just hope you know where to go and forget about the past. , to take pity on the person in front of you."
"My son-in-law understands, thank your grandfather and father-in-law for your teachings!" Zhao Luli kowtowed three times in a row, and then his eyes turned red.
Emperor Shengyuan sat on the side and watched coldly, unable to tell what it was like in his heart. He never thought that if Zhao Luli lost his title, the Guan family would look down on him and ask for reconciliation; he never thought that even if he repented, the Guan family would not give him a chance.
The Guan family members are tough, loyal, and seemingly decisive, but in fact they always give people a chance to survive. This is their benevolence and righteousness. The Guan family loves talent but not wealth. Gold, silver, pearls, jade, and high-ranking officials are just optional embellishments. Zhao Luli can marry his daughter, even if he is so destitute, as long as he does what he says and treats him sincerely, he will still be able to get rid of his grudges and live with beauty.
So the lady is a treasure, who knows who marries her. Wasn't a fool like Zhao Luli also awakened by her? No, he is a fool, just pretending to be confused. When he realized how precious his wife was, even if he fell in love with Ye Zhen, he would slowly wake up, slowly forget, and then devote himself to the present moment.
Emperor Shengyuan has no doubt that his wife has that charm. As long as she wants, she can conquer any man in the world.
The more he thought about it, the more fear and anxiety in Emperor Shengyuan's heart, he couldn't help but look up at Emperor Shi and Taichang. The two had already stood up and said goodbye, without showing the slightest desire to ask for orders and leave. When they were far away, Emperor Shengyuan cursed with red eyes "bastard".
The low and hoarse voice was full of hatred and unwillingness, as well as a strong sense of self-loathing.
Bai Fu was taken aback and wondered who the emperor was angry with. Did the Emperor Shi and Lord Taichang offend him
In fact, Emperor Shengyuan hated both Ye Zhen and Zhao Luli, and he hated himself. For this bastard, the weight of scolding himself was heavier. He very much wanted to take the initiative to ask his wife to divorce him, but he was the one who bestowed the marriage, and he was also the one who asked for divorce. In the minds of the emperor and Taichang, he was afraid that he would think of him as such an unsympathetic courtier and the daughter of a courtier. A faint-hearted monarch whose lifelong happiness is a child's play.
So I can't mention it myself; my wife is now living a comfortable life, so I don't care to mention it; Emperor Shi and Tai Chang are too tolerant, so they don't want to mention it; and Zhao Luli, who has tasted the benefits of his wife, will not mention it. If his chaotic home is without his wife, he is afraid that it will fall apart overnight.
It was as if the beast took the initiative to jump out of the trap, walked into the cage, and trapped himself to death. Emperor Shengyuan's mind was in a mess, and his temper also had a tendency to explode in an all-round way. However, there seemed to be no other way for him to endure it except to endure it, and he had to endure it until his heart burst into tears.
"You bastard!" In desperation, he could only curse and hold back.
Bai Fu didn't know who the emperor was scolding, but looking at his gloomy complexion, he must have encountered something that was difficult to solve, so he didn't dare to call his eyes, silently walked to the corner and stood still. After a while, he didn't know if it was an illusion. He seemed to hear the emperor whispering, "When I want you to wake up, you are confused, and when I want you to be confused, you understand! Do you and your husband and wife have any grudges?"
-------
Since Zhao Luli went to the palace with the thorns on his back, the Zhao family and the Ye family's family have craned their necks to hope for his safe return. However, after waiting for a whole morning, there was no movement, so they all returned disappointed and were preparing to have some lunch. , suddenly heard a loud noise from the front door, and then there was a burst of crackling. After a while, a servant girl shouted, "Killing! Officers and soldiers are killing!"
Officers and soldiers? The Ye family, who had been in prison, was extremely sensitive to these two words, and quickly locked the door to hide. On the contrary, the Zhao family was unprepared and injured a lot by a group of guards, crying, shouting, scolding, and screaming. The sound was incessant, and there was also the loud noise of smashing things.
Zhao Chunxi hid in the study to protect her younger brother, and anxiously ordered, "Hexiang, go see what's going on at the front door." With such a big disturbance, she immediately remembered that it seemed to be the same on the day when Ye's house was raided. Can't daddy come back? Could it be that the Hou Mansion has followed suit
She repeatedly told herself to be calm, Mo Duo thought, but tears gurgled out uncontrollably. Zhao Wangshu was also so frightened that he clung to her arm and said in a trembling voice, "Sister, I'm afraid!"
"Don't be afraid, Daddy will be back soon, nothing will happen to our family." Zhao Chunxi didn't believe these words, let alone others.
He Xiang panicked and ran to the front yard. From a distance, he saw several guards holding halberds and poking down the plaque with the words "Zhenbei Houfu" written on it, breaking it in half, and another person wearing a blood-red official robe. With the silver armor, it seems that the grade is not low, and he is grinning and stepping on the cracked plaque into pieces, his eyes are full of hatred.
She sucked in a breath of cold air and hurried back to report it. In a panic, she heard the man shouting sharply, "Arrest all the Ye family members for trial, one by one, and don't let a single fish slip through the net!"
Sure enough, the wife said that even the female family members of the Ye family were involved in the case of Ye Quanyong, which attracted these rakshasas! Out of breath, she ran to the study room, stated what she saw and heard truthfully, and finally said, "Miss, why don't you hurry to find Mrs. for such a big thing? Now she is the only one who can handle such a messy situation. ."
"Yes, yes, go to my mother, she will definitely have a way." Zhao Chunxi was completely helpless, and when she heard the word "Mrs." suddenly, it was like a beam of light descended from the darkness, making her whole body bright. She took her brother and ran westward, hiding from left to right, and then saw the Ye family members being caught one by one, tied up and kneeling in the open space, the officials groping their whole bodies with a lewd smile on their faces, putting their collars and belts on their backs. , and even the apron and other items were torn apart, and the room was also turned in a mess.
Of course, there were also servants of the Hou residence who were mistakenly identified and arrested, and were also humiliated, but no one would believe them no matter how much they explained.
If he was arrested and suffered such torture, wouldn't life be better than death? Zhao Chunxi's heart was beating wildly, and his tongue was dry. Taking advantage of the cover of the rockery and the familiarity of the terrain, he finally reached the main room dangerously and dangerously. The official seemed to have been ordered, and did not dare to approach this place. When he saw Jin Zi and Ming Lan under the corridor from a distance, he avoided them, and even his shouts were lowered a lot.
When they turned around, Zhao Chunxi rushed out from behind the rockery, with hair disheveled and described as embarrassed.
"Yo, where's the little lunatic?" Jin Zi raised his hand to stop her and joked.
"Sister Jin, I beg you to go in and report, saying that the house has suffered a great disaster, please help my mother!" Zhao Chunxi burst into tears, his expression was frightened, and he was actually quite frightened. Seeing that Jin was indifferent, he added, "Those officers and soldiers saw people. They arrested them, beat them when they saw them, and dragged their female family members out to search their bodies, all their clothes were taken off…”
Before she could finish speaking, the door opened in response, and Guan Suyi walked out slowly, wiping the ink on her fingertips with a handkerchief, and said solemnly, "Let's go, go and have a look. The old lady and her younger siblings have some Not disturbed?"
"Madam Hui, I wasn't disturbed. The servants have already explained it to the officials. The Ye family only lives in the east end, and we don't have one in the west courtyard." Jin Zi bowed and replied.
Just explain and not check? Guan Suyi glanced at her thoughtfully, continued walking towards the noisy place, and ordered a few maids to stop the old lady and the Ruan family, so that they would not be frightened.
Minglan was a little scared and persuaded in a low voice, "Miss, there's a lot of chaos in front of you, so don't go there, lest you be hit by someone who doesn't have long eyes. The Ye family humiliates you like that, why do you care about them?"
Guan Suyi said in a low voice, "One yard is one yard. The old feud between me and the Ye family will be put aside for the time being. Those officers and soldiers treating weak women like this is injustice. I am not here to show mercy, not for pictures, only For the dignity of those women and for keeping innocents from being implicated."
Ming Lan thought for a while, then lowered her head in shame. Jin Zi also bowed his head deeply, and his eyes flashed with admiration, admiration, admiration and other emotions from time to time. It was only now that she finally understood why the master was so fascinated with his wife that she couldn't stop. Her mind, vision, and mind are more open than men's. She looks so weak, but she is extremely strong inside, and she has an unsullied heart. What she has done is worthy of the words "a clear conscience".
Zhao Chunxi and Zhao Wangshu followed behind her step by step, looking at her not tall or strong back, somehow they felt very relieved. It turns out that this is the meaning of "mother". When you make a mistake, someone corrects you; when you are confused, someone guides you; when you are helpless, there is someone to rely on. Although she was no big deal to them, she was able to carry the family by herself, and she had done her utmost to the Hou Mansion.
After a while, the group entered the front yard, and they saw a sullen military general leaning on a soft couch, with his feet on the back of a kneeling Ye Jiaerlang, with a very aggressive attitude . Another Xiao Huangmen sang with the letter, to the effect that Ye Quanyong helped the remnants of the former dynasty to secretly rescue a prince and send it to Xue Thief in exchange for the treasure of the former dynasty's royal family. Now that the treasure map is in the hands of the Ye family, as long as they hand it over, they can avoid the death penalty, and if they don't hand it over, the nine clans will be executed. And because the Marquis of Zhenbei helped Zhou to commit a crime and mutilated the common people, he had already taken the title and demoted him to the common people, and was being held in the Heavenly Prison awaiting trial.
After Zhao Chunxi listened carefully, he couldn't help but black out before his eyes, and shouted wildly in his heart - grandfather, you were indeed killed by your own greed, and even the prince of the previous dynasty dared to touch it! You are your fault, why do you still drag my father into the water? The Ye family ended up today, and they are not wronged at all!
