Chapter 157 Hanging

Mrs. Cheng came to the Duke's Mansion not only to take her son back after the storm subsided, but also to plead with her husband. Not long ago, after the emperor had enough to worry about the fifth prince and his group, he came with a dazzling list of accusations.

...Of course, they were all made by the ministers. There were countless crimes such as occupying farmland, competing for profits with the people, and usury. I guess they had heard the news that the emperor was going to take action, so they all hurriedly wrote them all night long.

Fuck, anyway, it is extremely easy to find confessions from several victims of these crimes - just to make up for it.【26nbsp;】

Even when the second master of the Jiang family, Jiang Qin, was the school administrator two years ago, after going to the memorial hall to worship the gods, he sold the discarded official documents through the network of the third master of the Jiang family, Jiang Shun, and took the money.

Fan Lou spent extravagantly and even hired singers to play music and sing. He was arrested and impeached by the censor Zhongcheng on the charge of "self-stealing". He also had a brother from a branch of the Jiang family released as an official. Originally, the court had only five days to collect the certificates.

, all the old stories about how it took more than half a month for him to say goodbye to the court and leave the city were dug up. Among them, Jiang Cunmo's recklessness was also recorded on his father. It was the son's fault for not teaching his father...

No matter how big the elephant is, it can't hold down the ants. This time, the Jiang family was severely bitten off several pieces of meat. The emperor was furious when he saw the memorials piled on the table, but after all, he thought about the mother clan of his younger brother.

Out of pity, and because the Empress Dowager's birthday was coming soon, and she also wanted to accumulate blessings for her elderly family, most of the charges were suppressed, and only the title of Dingnan Marquis Jiang Hong was taken away, and he was sentenced to exile.

When Yu Zhu heard the news at that time, he thought to himself: "You really can't be the emperor if you don't have a bit of shamelessness. Seeing what I said, I picked it all cleanly and didn't leave any chance to my opponent."

"What a good boy..." Cheng Xunxun put down the tea cup with a smile, pulled out a gourd hairpin inlaid with coral and turquoise from the bamboo head, took it in his hand and took a closer look, "I like this hairpin so much,

I see you wearing it on your head every day."

"Hey, it's just a good match for clothes." Yu Zhu grabbed the hairpin from his hand and groped for it and inserted it into his head again, acting like a fool. In fact, it was Cui who taught him that these gadgets given by his father-in-law should be worn at least ten times a month.

For five days, you still have to be seen by a man.

Cheng Xunxun just smiled and didn't mention that he had seen Yu Zhu's dowry jewelry. He just took it out and put it on the dressing table. There were two full boxes. What kind of clothes are not easy to match? Think about it in the future.

Buy her a few more... He shook his head and lay back down, his smile fading a little: "There's no need to enter the palace. The emperor is determined to punish the Jiang family. It's God's blessing that my brother-in-law can escape with his life."

It doesn’t matter if it’s winter, just help me prepare some warm clothes.”

In this kind of case, it is better to be punished as soon as possible. The more we see the situation clearly in the future, the more people want to please the emperor, and the more crimes will be dug out. And since the emperor ascended the throne, the Jiang family has been calm on the outside, but internally it has been

It was panic, chaos turned into a puddle of mud, and the officials behind the Jiang family had been dismissed from their posts one after another for various reasons, or were inexplicably transferred to the yamen where they had no real power and had no real power. Everyone was panicked. My mother was a little bit embarrassed.

Rong Rong was shocked by the eldest sister's cry regardless of her appearance. He hesitated and hoped that Yu Zhu could go to the palace to ask for mercy from the Queen Mother and win the title. It was bitterly cold in the north, and Jiang Hong was the eldest son of a noble family who had been well-dressed and well-fed since he was a child. How could he bear it?

... Without having to speak, my father had already vetoed it, and gave a stern order not to allow anyone to interfere in the Jiang family's affairs, directly blocking the eldest sister's cry.

He glanced sideways at Yu Zhu, who looked uneasy next to him. The haze in his eyes receded a little. The little thing must have been frightened. What I heard Hongjian mention several times was how well-behaved and lovable the little girl was, and how she was treated like that by her family.

Bao Bao doted on the little man who grew up, but after marrying her, she was first embarrassed by the Gong family, then she had to deal with her mother's cold temper, and then she was involved in five...

The prince is plotting to cause trouble, and now he has to face the awkward relationship between his mother's family and her husband's family... He has just reached the age of hairpin, but he can endure the fear and handle everything properly, never complain in front of himself, and always smiles.

Small in appearance, it is so warm that it seems to be glowing. It makes you feel so painful that you don’t even have the strength to hum...

The slender fingers gently slid across Yu Zhu's cheek, as if he was addicted to the softness of jade and flowers, lingering for a long time...

Yuzhu's face "steamed up", the burning heat spread quickly, and her originally white and tender skin was instantly dyed pink and tender. She shivered a little, and she couldn't help but roar in her heart. This

Whatever you want to do, just touch her. It’s not like you haven’t been touched before, but... But, why are you looking at me like this?

Being looked at seriously by a man who looks like this, my sister said...it's very stressful.

"Do you remember what I told you on our wedding night?" Just when Yu Zhu was wondering whether to pounce on him and cover his eyes, or give him two punches to make him turn into a panda and unable to open his eyes, Cheng Xunxun spoke with a gentle voice.

With indulgence, the deep voice actually brought out a bit of ripples like water waves, and Yu Zhu's long-standing habit came back again -

Cheng Xunxun was surprised and held her body with one hand and touched her smooth forehead, "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"

"It's okay, it's okay." Yu Zhu gritted his teeth and supported his strong arms to get up: "It's just that it hit the corner of his skirt and tripped." This secret must be tightly covered, and it was wiped away like a cover-up.

Sideburns: "What did you say?" After saying that, he realized something was wrong and hurriedly held his head and begged for mercy, "No.

No, that, this, listen to me..." According to the second article of Chapter 10 of "How the Wife Was Made", you must try to remember what your husband said, even if you can't remember it, you must pretend to remember it.

, and then use insinuating methods or rambling methods. The situation was urgent just now, and I actually forgot about it.

"What? What are you going to say?"

Hearing this, Yu Zhu struggled hard and tried to crawl out of his arms. Unexpectedly, he simply stretched out his long legs, sandwiched Yu Zhu in the middle, freed up his hands to hold her face, and asked again: "

Remember what I told you on our wedding night?"

"Said...said..." Yu Zhu started to stutter again. After holding it in for a long time, he couldn't say a word. At that time, he didn't think of trusting the man's words.

Cheng Xunxun was helpless. She didn't remember such a promise. Was it because she was too sensible or because he was too unreliable in her heart... He was about to tell her again when he suddenly frowned, let go of Yu Zhu, and shouted sternly:

"Who's out there?"

Then I heard the frightened voice of the little maid coming from outside the curtain: "Second Master, Second Master...it was Miss Qiu Wen who hanged herself." Yao's mother had said that Second Master was not allowed to go in at will when he was in the main room, but things like this

I must inform my wife as soon as possible.

Cheng Xunxun's face suddenly darkened. Yu Zhu glanced at his face and quickly put on her shoes and went into the pit. Oh my god, one of her men actually hanged himself.

As soon as the two of them walked into the yard, they saw a woman hurried in. When she saw Cheng Xunxun, her face lit up and she hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Good morning, Mr. Wang, the prince is here. He said that the emperor has announced that you should come in immediately."

Where is the palace?"

At this time... Cheng Xunxun glanced at Yu Zhu worriedly, and Yu Zhu hurriedly grinned and gave him a smile, meaning that you are on your way and I will take care of the household matters.

No matter how worried you were, it was useless. The emperor's order could not be violated. Cheng Xunxun only left one sentence: "If it doesn't work, go to Siqian Hall." Then he went into the house, changed his clothes, and rushed to the palace without stopping.

Yu Zhu mentally waved a small handkerchief to send him out, turned around and walked towards the yard where Tongfang lived. It would be better not to let men get involved in this kind of thing.

There is no separate courtyard for the Tongfang. Cheng Xunxun's three Tongfang all live in a small courtyard. There is a small building at the back, where two little maids who boil water and sweep the house live - this is the Tongfang Gao.

In the other maid's place.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, they heard mournful cries coming from the room in the middle. Yu Zhu raised his eyebrows, thinking that this must be Qiu Wen's room. He winked at Zaoyuan, who was full of sparks in his eyes, and stepped forward.

Went in.

The house is not big, there is only one room, and there is a small clean room separated by a screen. It is clean and exquisitely decorated. You can see exquisite female red ornaments everywhere, pink embroidered sachets hanging from the four corners of the bed, and a dressing table.

The unique cloth cover wrapping the jewelry box, the decorative silk fan hanging on the wall, and the small bamboo basket on the bedside cabinet... The needlework inside is obviously made for men. Who else besides Cheng Xunxun?

Under the swaying Bai Ling, Baozhu and Qiu Wen were holding each other's arms and crying. There was a kicked-down stool next to them. When the mistress came in, they both suppressed their sobs and knelt down to Yu Zhu.

Tsk tsk, it’s so sad to cry. It’s a pity that one cried like pear blossoms and rained down, and the other looked like inflamed tonsils, so swollen that it was impossible to see.

Hua Ruo pulled out a chair and helped Yu Zhu sit on it before retreating to the back.

"Get up."

Baozhu wanted to help Qiuwen stand up, but Qiuwen seemed to have exhausted all his strength from crying. He couldn't get up with his eyes closed. Big tears seeped out from the gaps in his red and swollen eyes, as if he would be sad at any time.

It's like fainting.

So pitiful

Yuzhu shook his head slightly, took a sip of the tea that the little maid had just brought, and listened to the changes in the crying, thinking that he could learn from it when pretending to cry in the future, so as to save Cui every time.

come out.

Baozhu held Qiu Wen in one hand and wiped her tears with a handkerchief in the other: "Madam, Sister Qiu Wen is temporarily confused. Don't be as knowledgeable as her." Although wealthy families are not as good as those in the palace who ask the palace people not to cry, but in the palace

Unlucky things like suicide are still very taboo.

Well, after crying and seeing someone talking, Yu Zhu cheered up: "Well, what's going on? What are you doing hanging yourself for? The accountant deducted your monthly payment? Qiu Wen, tell me, I'll give it to you

The decision is made." Yu Zhu calmly pointed out that he wanted Qiu Wen to reply, "Baozhu, don't think I didn't notice you looking out the door just now, hoping to see who was coming in."

Hua Ruo's forehead twitched heavily. She was the one who paid the maid the last monthly payment. She hurriedly stepped forward and said, "No, it was sent to Miss Qiu Wen properly. I did the calculations well and remembered the accounts clearly."

"

After Qiu Wen regained his breath, he began to kowtow loudly, repeating only this sentence, "Madam, don't drive this slave away, please madam, please don't drive this slave away..." (To be continued. If you like this work,
