It was the first time that Father Guan saw a woman with such a wild and unruly style. His calm expression couldn't hold back. The old lady was also embarrassed. She lowered her head and coughed, looked up at the sky, turned her face and stared at the man-like back of the princess, until she disappeared around the corner and let out a sigh of relief.
There were no skylights in the aisle, only a few candles were lit on the wall. Guan Suyi was impatient to stay in the prison for a long time, and took the lead to walk forward, slowly saying, "His Royal Highness Princess is a person who cherishes flowers, but she is not good at grinding mirrors, you can rest assured."
The old lady's cheeks flushed and she was speechless for a while. Father Guan looked at Zhao Chunxi and Zhao Wangshu nervously, and scolded, "What are you talking about, why don't you go in and visit your husband!"
"Mother, what's the best way to grind a mirror?" Zhao Wangshu asked stupidly, but his sister covered her mouth and glared fiercely.
Guan Suyi felt numb all over. No matter how many times she listened to it, she still couldn't stand Zhao Wangshu's incomparably affectionate and transliterated "mother". Isn't it bad to call her mother or Mrs. Guan like she did in her previous life? She forcefully pulled her lips and said lightly, "It means polishing the bronze mirror. Okay, let's go in and see your father." It was indeed her misconduct to say such inappropriate words in front of the children, and she must pay attention next time.
"Yeah, Daddy is still waiting for us, hurry in." Zhao Chunxi dragged his brother away.
Passing through the narrow and dark passage, there is an open underground palace at the end. There are many compartments carved out of the four walls and surrounded by iron fences. Each compartment contains prisoners, ranging from one or two, or dozens of people. as much. Before seeing Daddy, Zhao Chunxi and Zhao Wangshu first saw Liu, Song and others who were taken away yesterday.
They were huddled together in a cell, unkempt and ragged, and the bright fabrics were now stained with blood, as if they had been tortured. Song described it as the most miserable. The outer layer of clothes had been stripped off, and only a single shirt soaked in blood was lying on the corner, his cheeks turned to the direction of the aisle.
Even if he was as ignorant as Zhao Wangshu, he just glanced at her and immediately realized that this person was about to go to hell.
"Xi'er, Wang Shu, are you here? Hurry up and save your grandmother!" Seeing the two grandsons, Mrs. Liu rushed to the door and shouted, and the others also got up and kowtowed, with Ye Fan vaguely among them. The voice said, "Xi'er, Wang Shu, your father and I are engaged, even if we haven't been there yet, we are half of the Zhao family, you can't leave me alone! Old lady, mother-in-law, please save me. In the future, I will definitely serve Chenguang and take care of two children. Can I be a cow and a horse for you..."
Crying, begging, and cursing sounded like a ghost crying and wolf howling, and the magic sound pierced through the ears, scaring the siblings to death, and could not help shrinking into the corner and shivering. Guan Suyi walked past without squinting, and said lightly, "You can't live because of your own sins. One pull and one step have been cleared up. From now on, the Ye and Zhao families have nothing to do with each other, just go in and see your father."
The two seemed to be reassured, and hurriedly fell behind their stepmother, imitated her and looked straight ahead, walked calmly, and finally saw their father in the deepest prison.
Zhao Luli had already heard the calls for help one after another, and he knew that it was his family who came to visit him, so he stood by the door and looked out. He never expected that in addition to the thirty-two counts impeached by the emperor, Master Ye had committed countless crimes, big and small, and also involved the prince and Xue Thief of the previous dynasty, and secretly conspired for the royal treasure.
He didn't hear about these things until he turned himself in at the Tingwei Mansion, and immediately broke into a cold sweat, and when he heard that the general who led the team to search for the treasure map was Zhou Tian, he felt even more desperate. He was just doing his part for the "dead wife" mother family, but he didn't want to bring disaster to his family. If they made the slightest mistake, he would be blamed for his death. If he can't be a good husband, he can't be a filial son, and he's not a qualified father. What is he doing alive? It's better to die in jail!
In his panic, he thought of the new lady who had not been there for a long time, and thought of her arrogance and awe-inspiring righteousness, and could not help but lift his spirits. That's right, Madam had already divided the mansion, and she also said that another side of the main entrance would be built and another plaque was hung. In this way, the fate of the Zhao family was not tied to him alone, but also the name of the second brother. The Marquis of Zhenbei has collapsed, and the second brother is still the dignified General Zhengbei, so Zhou Tian has to give him a little face no matter what.
It turned out that the branch office was not only to get rid of the Ye family, but also to avoid possible disasters. Didn't she warn him at that time, saying that the female family members of the Ye family might also be involved in the case, and asked him to send them away quickly. But he insisted on going his own way, and eventually affected the family and children.
How could he be so confused? If there is no lady, I am afraid that all relatives will be killed!
Fortunately, Guan Suyi had led a group of people to the front. He quickly wiped the corners of his red eyes and said hoarsely, "Madam, you are here." Seeing the old lady and Guan's father, he hurriedly bent down and bowed, "Son I have seen my mother, and my son-in-law has seen my father-in-law."
Guan's father glanced at him up and down, and said angrily, "The emperor only asked you to assist in investigating the case, not imprisoning, but you made a big disaster in your early years and attracted many grievances from the past. Someone deliberately imprisoned you to torture, and I couldn't manage it up and down. It is impossible to get rid of it completely. You should know the sins you have committed yourself, and stay here in peace, and when the case is over, they will let you out. "
Zhao Luli bowed his hands in shame, "Lao's father-in-law will give thanks for the younger son-in-law, and the younger son-in-law will thank him. In the future, he will repent of his sins and turn his back on the good. The younger son-in-law has committed a lot of sins. Deserving enjoyment, and now he is imprisoned and severely punished, but he has redeemed himself one or two. People live in the world, come and go clean, but I made mistakes, and my hands were full of blood, and I ended up in my heart today. I have no complaints, but I have regrets, I have regrets, I regret treating my wife well, I am ashamed to treat my wife well, I am ashamed to treat my wife well, I am ashamed to be out of prison, I should let go of the past, cherish the present, and look forward to the future to support the Zhao family again. The adults are a witness for the younger son-in-law."
Guan's father said with relief, "If you can really make a change, you won't be in vain, and you will be afraid. I will see how you behave in the future. If you make trouble again, I will not forgive you. Okay, your family It's rare for people to be reunited, so hurry up and talk for a while, I have something to do later, so I have to go ahead. The old lady please." He politely greeted the old lady.
The old lady hurriedly returned the salute and kept thanking her until she sent the person to the end of the corridor before walking back while wiping away her tears. When I met Ye Zhen, my son had been unlucky for half his life and married Suyi, but was it really very peaceful? Heaven opened his eyes!
Zhao Luli wanted to grab Madam's hands, and when he saw his dirty fingertips retreating again, he was ashamed, "Yesterday Zhou Tian picked up Zhao's house, Madam wasn't shocked, right? Madam's words are all good words, I just hate it. I closed my earplugs and listened, and I went my own way and almost killed you. I'm guilty!"
Before Guan Suyi could speak, Zhao Chunxi and Zhao Wangshu had both squeezed to the cell door, reached out to hug him, and cried, "Daddy, it's not your fault, it's the Ye family's fault. You don't know, they are really cruel and want to let him go. Our family fills the hole for Brother Hao..." The two of you explained everything yesterday clearly.
Zhao Luli broke out in a cold sweat, stunned for a long time before slowly knelt down, bowed his head and bowed, "Madam's great kindness to my Zhao family, not to mention the next life, I will break my body and break my head in this life, and I will repay it with all my strength. After knocking, he ordered the two children, "Why don't you thank your mother soon?"
Zhao Chunxi and Zhao Wangshu didn't force it at all, they knelt down and kowtowed three times, crying "mother" with tears in their eyes. The old lady was extremely relieved, and the hatred towards Zhao Chunxi disappeared a lot, and she kept mumbling, "Knowing mistakes can make a big difference, and a broken mirror can be reunited", tears streaming down her cheeks.
Guan Suyi felt at a loss for the first time. She would rather this family alienate her like in her previous life, treat her coldly, or even persecute her, than they can't stand their sincere repentance and approach diligently and eagerly. She can tell the truth from falsehood, so it becomes more and more difficult.
She couldn't do anything to a group of innocent people, not to mention two of them were half-old children. If she can really disregard morality and get down on the ground, what is the difference between her and the Ye family? Burying her conscience for the sake of hatred, even losing her true nature and willing to degenerate, how could she be worthy of Guan Jiajia's voice? How to live up to the legacy of the ancestors? How to take on the four characters of "clear conscience"
That's all, if they truly repented, she would do her duty and keep the house safe; if they had ill-conceived ideas, she would fight back and wouldn't give in an inch. Everything depends on time.
Thinking like this, Guan Suyi finally regained her composure, pulled Zhao Chunxi and Zhao Wangshu in a complicated mood, avoided Zhao Luli's kneeling and asked the servant to put medicine on him, bandage him, and put food on it.
----
When the eldest princess came out of the prison, she planned to go back to the mansion. After thinking about it, she handed over the sign to the palace to face the saint. As soon as she stepped into the imperial study to make a salute, she saw the emperor's dark blue eyes staring straight at him, and finally stopped. at her fingertips.
She grinned and said in a nasty tone, "Why, this temple is made of gold, can't it be made of gold, it is so rare for the emperor?" Finally, she sniffed the nose, and said intoxicated, "Exquisite beauty, soft jade warm fragrance, good one The peerless beauty of the city and the country! Kunal, you really are a brotherly love, you robbed someone else's daughter-in-law and gave a better past. When you become an emperor, you even have a lot of open-mindedness, and this hall admires it!"
Emperor Sheng Yuan had already received the secret report, knowing that Zhao Luli and his wife were reconciled as before, and the old lady of the Zhao family kept saying something like "reunited, happy family", making him anxious, jealous, and difficult to endure. The idea of murdering and stealing a wife arises.
At the moment, the elder sister stabbed him a few words, and the anger he had suppressed for a long time almost erupted, and he wanted to burn himself and others to ashes. But he is an emperor after all, and he understands the truth that happiness and anger are invisible, and it was only after patience and patience that he managed to suppress his violent mood, and said solemnly, "Whether the emperor believes it or not, I have never robbed his wife. I made a surprise attack on Yanjing, and rested at Zhao's village on the way. I met Ye Zhen and recognized that she was the woman who saved me, so I said a few words, I don't know how I was caught by the old man Zhao, and misunderstood him. You have his temperament too. You know, he is the same as Ye Quanyong. He actually bribed the soldiers and stuffed Ye Zhen, who was not wearing an inch of thread, when he was packing his bags. The next day, he pulled out the camp to attack, and went thousands of miles away in the evening. A woman. Sister Huang, you said, should I return her or throw her away?"
The life-saving grace must be repaid, and the brother's wife must not be contaminated. No one knows how annoyed Emperor Shengyuan was at that time, and how he was in a dilemma. These past events, which he had never mentioned to anyone, had to be mentioned now.
