Chapter 28 Going Home

After hearing the Empress Dowager's emotion, Emperor Tai'an's face became as dark as water.

"This Wen Rugui is so excessive."

He couldn't care enough about his courtiers' household affairs, but if he made his mother unhappy, he would have to pay more attention to them.

"Mother, don't think so. With your son here, no one can make you angry."

When the Queen Mother heard these words, she felt relieved and sighed in her heart: "Old Mrs. Lin family, isn't it just because she doesn't have a son?"

Without a son, General Lin was willing to refuse the position of Duke.

If General Lin had an heir to inherit the throne after his death, how could Wen Rugui dare to do such a thing?

In the final analysis, he is bullying no one in the Lin family.

"Don't worry, mother, my son will handle this matter well."

The Queen Mother nodded happily: "I don't care about other Ai families, but because of this, the Lin and Wen families cannot become in-laws. The old lady of the Lin family came to the palace and only asked that her daughter and Wen Ru be reunited and take their two granddaughters with her.

Go back to Lin’s house.”

"This is what it should be." After hearing what the Queen Mother said, Emperor Tai'an felt that the old lady was not too troublesome and had a better impression of the Lin family.

When Old General Lin once rejected him from the position of Duke, he was not without anger. At that time, he had just ascended the throne, received a lot of criticism, and was in urgent need of support from all parties. General Lin even refused the position of Duke, making it clear that he had no intention of succeeding him.

Anyone has an opinion.

He even had murderous intentions, but considering the achievements of General Lin and his situation at that time, he could not act recklessly.

Now that General Lin is gone, only women and children are left in the Lin family, and Emperor Tai'an has long been seated on the throne, so his state of mind is naturally different from what he was back then.

Now that the queen mother has spoken, he doesn't mind giving the Lin family a little care.

When Emperor Tai'an left the Cining Palace, a nun stood behind the Queen Mother and massaged her shoulders.

After an unknown amount of time, the Queen Mother opened her closed eyes and said with emotion: "I never thought that Dou Chuncao, who has always been so reckless, would also cry."

This sentence has some meaning.

The nun who was squeezing the Queen Mother's shoulders silently made her movements gentler.

"You are already old..." The Queen Mother let out a meaningful sigh.

When Emperor Tai'an returned to his palace, he heard the eunuch Zhu Xi report to Minister Wen for an audience.

Emperor Tai'an raised his eyelids and said in a calm tone: "Just say that I haven't come back with the Queen Mother yet."

Zhu Xi took the order and left.

Wen Rugui was waiting anxiously outside. When he saw Zhu Xi, he immediately came up to him: "Eunuch Zhu——"

Zhu Xi raised his hand to interrupt Wen Rugui's words and distanced himself: "Master Wen, please go back. The Emperor is still with the Queen Mother in Cining Palace."

When Wen Rugui heard this, her face immediately turned pale.

The old lady went to the palace to complain to the Queen Mother, and the Emperor said he was accompanying the Queen Mother. He knew very well what this meant.

Wen Rugui didn't even know how she walked back to the Wen Mansion. She showed no reaction to the crowd of people following behind her. When she reached the gate, she staggered and fell to the ground.

"Master, Master!" the doorman shouted.

"Did you fail to catch up with the old lady of the General's Mansion?"

"It seems so."

"Tsk, tsk, Minister Wen's legs and feet are not good."

While the onlookers were gathering and talking, several officials knocked on the door of Wen's house.

Facing the official official who came to her home, Wen Rugui lost her mind and lost her usual calmness.

"Mr. Wen, the old lady of the Lin family has filed a complaint with the government and asked that the Lin family be separated from you. Could you please go with me?"

Wen Rugui didn't seem to hear.

"Sir Wen, our Lords are waiting for you." The official said in a serious tone.

Following Wen Rugui was another steward. Seeing Wen Rugui didn't move, he shouted anxiously: "Master——"

Wen Rugui got up with a numb expression, and followed the officials to the government office in a daze.

Outside the Yamen, there were already crowds of people on the inner and outer floors. Someone shouted "Here we come" and the crowd suddenly became excited.

"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze." Finally, we found a way to lead Wen Rugui in. The officer's saber was almost squeezed out.

In the court, Shuntian Prefecture Yin sat at attention, expressionless at Wen Rugui's arrival.

Normally, he would be more polite to his colleagues at the same level, but today he received instructions from his superiors, but it was unnecessary.

"Shilang Wen, the old lady of the general's palace is suing you for slandering your father-in-law and asking your daughter to renounce you. Do you have any objection?"

"I -" Wen Rugui's numb expression changed, "I didn't!"

Shuntian Fuyin was a little surprised by Wen Rugui's cooperation. He thought he would struggle for a while.

In this way, it would save him trouble.

"If that's the case, then you and the Lin family will be judged to be estranged from each other -"

"I said I didn't slander my father-in-law." Wen Rugui said loudly.

The old lady sneered: "Wen Rugui, up to now you are still making excuses and refusing to repent!"

Wen Rugui struggled to her death: "Master Tai Shui is dissatisfied with my son-in-law. It is absolutely fine for Wanqing to be righteous with me, but I will never admit anything that my son-in-law has not done."

If he admits it in court, he is completely finished.

"Shilang Wen, that's not what your clan brother and steward said." Shuntian Prefecture Yin said calmly.

Wen Rugui took a closer look and saw that both Wen Rusheng and Wen Ping were present.

Catching his gaze, both of them lowered their eyes.

Wen Rugui's anger was instantly ignited and she said sternly: "Whose favor did you two take to frame me like this?"

"Your wife is older than Chan'er. Was it someone else who framed you?" the old lady asked coldly.

Wen Rugui stagnates.

Lin, who had been silent until now, suddenly laughed.

The laughter grew louder and louder, and the sad laughter resounded throughout the courtroom.

"Mother——" Wen Hao held Lin's arm and couldn't help but panic.

Could it be that she only changed the outcome of her grandmother, and that her mother could not bear the blow and ended up with the same fate as in her previous life?

Thinking of this possibility, Wen Hao burst into tears.

Not sure whether she had laughed enough or saw her daughter's tears, Mrs. Lin stopped laughing and stared at Wen Rugui with madness in her eyes: "Wen Rugui, I thought you were a wolf in human skin, but I didn't expect you were just a wolf in human skin.

Rat in the gutter. I am so blind that I lift you up again and again!"

These words were like a loud slap on Wen Rugui's face, making him angry and embarrassed.

The old lady did not want her daughter to get involved with Wen Rugui anymore, so she urged Shuntian Prefecture Yin: "Sir, Wen Rugui just agreed to Yi Jue, please give the verdict."

As evidenced by Wen Ping and Wen Rusheng, Wen Rugui cannot change public opinion even if he denies it in every possible way.

His confession is of little significance to the Lin family.

"In this case, it will be judged that Wen Rugui and Lin's Wanqing are estranged from each other, and their two daughters will join the Lin family with Lin -"

"Wait a minute!" Wen Rugui planned to follow Tianfu Yin's words, "It's just justice, why does the daughter belong to the wife's clan? There is no such reason in the world."

With his two daughters in the palm of his hand, even if the General's Mansion wants to deal with him, he will always use a deadly weapon.

The Yin of Shuntian Prefecture cast a sympathetic look at Wen Rugui and reminded him: "Shilang Wen, God is just."

Wen Rugui's face instantly turned gray.

God is just, and this "heaven" clearly refers to the emperor!

Soon the documents condemning justice were given to both parties.
Chapter completed!
