In the late spring of the second year of Yong'an, a striking excitement broke out in Shangjing City. In order to compete for the position of the queen's family, the Lin family and the Gu family fought a lawsuit. Both families went to Jingzhao Yamen to sue each other, both of whom believed that the other party was against human ethics and was not worthy of being the queen's family.

This kind of case has never been seen in Bei'an's hundreds of years of history. It involves secrets of the royal palace, and involves parents' personal relationships, and is accompanied by family matters that interest everyone. By chance, it naturally attracted the attention of almost all Bei'an people.

No matter the high or low level of going to Beijing, he has set his sights on the newly appointed King Zhao Yin Lu Qi. I wonder what this Lord Lu is like and whether he has the courage to take on such a case like this.

Not long after, Jingzhao Yamen posted a notice.

Lord Lu was very open and announced that he had already taken the lawsuit from both parties and would send people to investigate the matters in preparation for the judgment.

If anyone knows that there is conclusive evidence about the relationship between these two families and the queen, he can submit it at Jingzhao Yamen. After Lord Lu verifies the authenticity, he will receive corresponding rewards.

This announcement was like adding fuel to the fire, spreading the influence of this case, which was already full of blood, to the entire Bei'an world.

Many good people spread the news to various places, and some of them even went to the Gu family’s original town to promote it, encouraging neighbors who knew the Gu family and Gu Zhao to come to the capital to testify and watch the fun.

"What? What's the name of this Jingzhao Yin? He acted so ridiculously!"

Zhang Wan was originally sure she would win, but after waiting for so many days, she never saw the imperial edict from the palace. She announced that she would come to the palace to meet her, and her heart began to feel faint.

Gu Zhao's strange and rebellious personality can break up with his own father and take someone to copy the Duke Li's mansion. If he really treats her as a stranger, it seems that there is nothing impossible.

But unexpectedly, Gu Zhao was acting erratic, and the officials in the capital seemed to become strange. How could Jingzhao Yin deal with such a major case like this? The paper on both sides was followed, without any hints, as if he really wanted to deal with it impartially, and had no action to understand the intention.

Moreover, the matter involved in the queen's life experience should not be a secret interrogation, in case any details that damage the queen's image and reputation were exposed? Why did Jingzhao Yin do the opposite and even add fuel to the fire and announce it to the world, as if he was afraid that not enough people would know?

Zhang Wan began to feel panic, as if something terrible was growing in the place where she couldn't see it.

She roared in the room, frightening the two maids who had just been with her for a few days so that their faces turned pale and they didn't dare to say a word.

"Are you at home?" Zhang Wan asked the maid.

The maid shook her head, "General, these days, he comes back very late every day. He probably hasn't come back yet."

Zhang Wan angrily scolded, "Where are there so many things to be busy with? Do you think I don't know? Didn't he just hide from me on purpose?"

"What kind of evil did I do in my previous life? I have a daughter, my daughter will destroy the family, and I will give birth to a son. My son is not caring and I hide like a tiger and leopard!"

Zhang Wan complained, got up and put on her big clothes when she was out, and wanted to go to the front yard to find Lin Junting, and also called a group of tribe members.

The butler in the front yard was helpless. "Old lady, when the master went out today, he told me that the military affairs in the military have been busy these days, and he can't come back to have dinner at night. Even if you are waiting here, there has not changed."

Zhang Wan sat in the main hall with a arrogant look on her face, "Then send someone to invite him back! Just say that I have something important today and I must discuss with him immediately to come up with a result, otherwise the Lin family might have to endure another family extermination!"

Several tribe members next to them have heard Zhang Wan talk about the whole story. They are also the ones who are most passionate about fame and wealth among the tribes.

If Zhang Wan cannot be recognized as her mother by the queen, their Lin family will not be the queen's mother clan. Then she will have to pass by her wealth. How can she bear it?

So a group of tribe members followed suit and criticized the housekeeper, asking him to send someone to find Lin Junting back as soon as possible.

The housekeeper was sweating profusely. Under the threat of the old lady Zhang Wan, he had to obey and send 50% of the military personnel to inform Lin Junting.

Half an hour later, Lin Junting came back on a horse.

As soon as he entered the door, the tribesmen hurriedly met him. This one called his nephew and the other called his brother, who looked like he was not Lin Junting and the sky was about to collapse.

Lin Junting's face was a little cold, but he nodded to them and went to salute Zhang Wan. "What's the urgent matter for my mother? I'm urging me back like this?"

Zhang Wan said the news she heard, "Look, how does Jingzhao Yin do it! He does this, but he takes you seriously? I am the empress's biological mother, and the Gu family is just a thief with ill intentions, but he compared my Lin family with the Gu family and had to go public to ask, what is his heart to do?"

"You go and find that Jingzhao Yin quickly and let him make a case fair and distinguish right from wrong, otherwise you will go to Gu Zhao and sue him!"

Lin Junting actually had already made predictions, but after hearing Zhang Wan's attitude, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

"Mother, I've told you a long time ago that my father wrote the severance book in person. The Empress has no relationship with the Lin family. You were not kind to the Empress at the beginning, and I think there is no mother-daughter relationship, so why bother to get along?"

"My current official salary is enough to make you worry-free in the rest of your life, and you will not lack food, clothing and expenses. Can you be assured that you can't be with the old lady of the Lin family?"

Lin Junting said this last time, Zhang Wan didn't listen to his dissuasion and took people to Jingzhao Yamen to throw papers while he was not at home.

Since then, Lin Junting has become cold to Zhang Wan.

Seeing Zhang Wan still so persistent, Lin Junting's expression on her face was even darker than the bottom of the pot. He really didn't understand what Zhang Wan was thinking!

It would be fine if Zhang Wan was kind to Gu Zhao at the beginning, but at least she had some blood relationship. But did she forget how Zhang Wan treated Gu Zhao at the beginning?

Zhang Wan was so angry that her wrinkles on her face trembled, "Just say if you listen to me!"

The tribe members next to him rushed up to dissuade him, "Nephew, don't be angry with your mother. Your mother has suffered a lot in the northwest over the years. She only got some coarse grains and wild vegetables when she was washing clothes for people in the middle of winter. She finally survived and when she returned home, you can't be angry with her anymore."

"Yes, yes, it's too difficult for the old lady. You are a son. If you are not filial to her, who will be filial to her? You are in this status and status, go and talk to Jingzhao Yin. I think he dares not give you face."

"That's right, we are not going to commit crimes, we just let him deal with them impartially. The Empress was born ten months pregnant and was born with hard labor. The mother and daughter are natural, so why do we have to go to court with the thief who steals the child?"

Lin Junting looked around for a while and all of them looked righteous, but the greed in their eyes could not be concealed at all.

He sneered, "It's not easy for my mother? Then why don't you guys take care of her? Instead, let her do her own clothes and change meals?"

Several tribe members were speechless. Zhang Wan was a big burden at that time, who would have thought of taking her with her?

Lin Junting raised his voice, "Come here, please go back and rest."

The soldiers following Lin Junting rushed in, twisted the tribe and pushed out.

Lin Junting added behind them, "You have lived here for a long time. I used to worry that you have traveled thousands of miles and are not energetic. Now it seems that you are in good health. So please find a good place to move out in the past two days."

These tribe members were panicked. Some pleaded for mercy, and some sweared, and they didn't want to move out.

Living in Lin Junting, they are 50% of the members of the Bingma and the Queen's brother. After moving out, they are the lowest commoners!

Lin Junting was able to deal with these tribe members with a tough attitude, but he could not change Zhang Wan's attitude.

No matter whether Lin Junting was softly persuading and reasoning, or was angry and scolding Zhang Wan to be restrained, Zhang Wan never changed her mind.

"If you lock up, I won't allow me to go out. I can't go on the day of my promotion. If I lose the lawsuit, I will die in front of you." Zhang Wan seemed to be crazy and took up the scissors without hesitation.

Lin Junting snatched the scissors and glanced at her deeply. The meaning in his eyes made Zhang Wan unable to understand. "Well, then let's do it."

Zhang Wan didn't expect Lin Junting to give up and stop him so easily. While she was happy, she felt that something was wrong.

But Lin Junting had already left, and he never came back to spend the night for several days.

Zhang Wan thought about it and knew that Lin Junting could not listen to her and do some things for her, so he was not in the mansion, and no one was in charge of her, so she was more convenient for her to act.

So Zhang Wan stopped caring about Lin Junting, but just forced herself to ask for hundreds of taels of silver from the public according to her own ideas, and went out to inquire and organize every day.

Lin Junting sat in front of Gu Zhao, with a numb look on his face, "A Zhao, you are right, I can't change her."

Gu Zhao had long expected such a result: "Everyone can only manage himself well. Even parents, children, husband and wife, brothers, may not necessarily let others obey their advice."

"And... what Mrs. Zhang thinks is, you've never understood."

He Changying already knew that the two families were competing for the case of Gu Zhaoniang's family. He was very curious and sat next to him, holding his chin with his fat hands. "Mom, what do she think?"

Since He Changying came to Shangjing City, Gu Zhao no longer cared for her on his back. If He Changying was interested, she would explain in detail the reasons.

Even Gu Zhao didn't hide the meaning of her experience this time. "When Mrs. Zhang started, she only thought about getting her husband's favor. Everyone, including her children, was a tool for her to compete for favor."

"What can help her beloved is valuable, and she can get her care and smile. On the contrary, it is not worth a penny and can be abandoned like a piece of clothing."

Lin Junting already understood this truth, but when he heard it again, he still couldn't help feeling a little sad.

He Changying already knew the beginning and end of this matter, so he didn't find it strange, but continued to ask, "Then why doesn't she let her uncle come forward and find an opportunity to meet you and talk to you?"

"If I have misunderstandings with my brothers, I will explain them clearly to them in person. She is so old, don't you understand this principle?"

A smile appeared on Gu Zhao's face, "Because she knew in her heart that she had no misunderstandings with me, and it was impossible for her to enhance the relationship between mother and daughter through interviews."

He Changying opened his eyes wide and suddenly understood what Gu Zhao meant, "Mom, what you mean is that you don't have the relationship between mother and daughter at all, and even your relationship is that bad?"

Gu Zhao nodded.

"Then why is she still shameless and trying to compete for this title?" He Changying was too confused. "Even if she wins, she is still a nameless person. What is she trying to do?"

"She lives well with her uncle and is a leisurely and wealthy old lady, isn't it better than anything else?"

Lin Junting couldn't help but touch her little rooster. Yes, a little girl of six or seven years old could see clearly than Zhang Wan. He really didn't understand why Zhang Wan wanted to fight for a false reputation like crazy.

Gu Zhao pulled the corner of his mouth, his expression a little cold, "Because she wants greater wealth, of course, more importantly, she wants to control me."

"She hates me."

"Because I made her lose her husband and her wonderful life."

"If she gets the title and is unfilial, she can become her most sharp weapon, and can hurt me at any time and make me suffer. Even if it makes me disgusted, she will be satisfied."

Lin Junting looked at Gu Zhao in surprise. He knew that Zhang Wan didn't like Gu Zhao and hated Gu Zhao, but did she reach this point?

And Gu Zhao obviously has a lot of malice towards Zhang Wan. This incident was so big that without Gu Zhao's instructions, how could Lu Qi do this?

But he pleaded with Gu Zhao, and Gu Zhao said that as long as he could make Zhang Wan willingly stop, Gu Zhao would let Zhang Wan go and let her be an old lady of the Lin family and live a prosperous life.

Lin Junting closed his eyes. In the final analysis, Zhang Wan himself refused to let him go.

Forget it, there is a sister on one side and a biological mother on the other side, so he can only stand on the moral side. Anyway, with him there, Zhang Wan will never be left alone.

A month later, Jingzhao Yamen publicly tried the case of Lin and Gu families competing for the title of the Queen's mother.

The entire yamen was surrounded by the people who came from the news. Even the yamen walls and the big trees outside the walls were covered with people.

Lu Qi asked the two families to confront each other in court, and both sides accused each other of each other, and all kinds of secrets that only they knew were exposed to the public. There was really a neighbor of the Gu family who also ran over from Jiangnan to act as witnesses.

So Gu Zhao's childhood experiences were displayed one by one. At the beginning, the people who were listening were still watching the fun.

But when they heard that Gu Zhao was stolen by Gao since childhood, and was repeatedly abused in the Gu family, and had to support themselves at a young age. They also worked hard for the family but could not eat enough or wear warm clothes, the people couldn't help but feel unfair for the little Gu Zhao.

"The thief who steals the child should be beaten to death!"

"Yes, the eldest lady who stole the Jin Zun and Yugui, but abused the person like a cow and horse. How dare such a dark-hearted couple come to sue the official?"

"Our Queen is really soft-hearted. If I had beaten them all to death!"

Zhang Wan was so angry that she almost grinned to her ears.

But not long after, the content that was unfavorable to her was also publicly stated.

In order to make a comeback, Gu Youfu sent someone to Jiangnan to contact him when Lin Xuerong was only teenage years old and gave him money to let him kill Gu Zhao.
