On the day of Princess Changle's full moon banquet, the emperor issued an amnesty order.
Among them, intentional murder, rape and robbery, abduction and trafficking of women and children, housebreaking and theft, looking for trouble, and collusion with party members are not included in the amnesty. Only accidental injuries, personal grudges, fights, and those who are implicated by sinners in the clan can be included in the amnesty.
Most of them were implicated by sinners in the clan, so they were pardoned, which made them extremely happy.
The princess's full-moon banquet was scheduled for the Double Ninth Festival. Officials and ladies of the third rank and above came to the palace to attend the banquet. The banquet was very lively.
Wang Xiu met Mrs. Li again. She was much older, her hair was gray, and she was not in good spirits.
It was as if he had jumped from forty to sixty all of a sudden. Even the people around him had changed. Wang Xiu didn't recognize any of them.
Mrs. Li came up to talk to her. She was stunned for a while and then sighed: "Why are you so haggard?"
Mrs. Li also joked with her: "I guess she wants to see my old man."
The nanny next to her told her not to talk nonsense, as she would definitely live a long life.
Mrs. Li said: "What are you doing for such a long time? I would rather go away decently than be that sloppy old woman."
Wang Xiu felt that Mrs. Li had something to say.
Then the two of them excused themselves for being dizzy and went to the imperial garden. Not many people around them came out, except for a nun who took care of Mrs. Li, as well as Aunt Fang and Aunt Zhuang who took care of Wang Xiu.
A few people were walking along the gravel path of the Imperial Garden in the crisp autumn dusk, talking.
Mrs. Li said: "I actually don't want Xinjue to join the officialdom. The Mei family should study peacefully for a few more years to build a solid foundation. But I still have something on my mind, which I can only tell you.
Already."
Wang Xiu guessed that it was Mei Xinjue's marriage, so he said: "Just tell me, if I can help, I will be obliged to do so."
Mrs. Li smiled and said: "I know you are a loyal person, but you are pregnant now, so I can't trouble you. I just want to find someone to talk to. Just listen."
Wang Xiu nodded and said no more words.
Mrs. Li said: "Xinjue likes the second girl of the Guo family, the second sister of Xu Xiao's wife. I have met that girl and she is nice. But who is Mrs. Zhang? She knows that the Mei family is a mess.
No one can deal with it, so it will definitely not be allowed."
"I have thought about it. Let Xinjue study first. After he has finished his reading, I will go and ask for help. Maybe there will be no improvement. But the premise is that he has to live up to his expectations and the girl really likes him."
"In a family like ours, if there is no sincerity, how can we support each other and go on well?"
"Everything flourishes and then declines, but who is not thinking about the glory of the ancestors and mentioning it over and over again? Man, only by truly letting go of those praiseworthy pasts can we find our own future."
"Today's Mei Xinjue is just the adopted son of the old Grand Master, but who knows whether he will be the next Grand Master Mei? Are you right?"
Wang Xiudao: "If people in the world could be as thorough as the old lady, how could they have so many worries?"
"But since the old lady has already made a plan, I believe everything will be fine."
Mrs. Li said: "I hope so."
But then Mrs. Li talked about another thing, and that was Mei Min's child.
She found a secluded place and said to Wang Xiu: "The child in Prince Cheng's Mansion was not born to Mei Min. No matter how much we hate our daughter, we will never sell our grandson."
"But this incident has reminded me that that evil girl has also offended Prince Cheng's palace. But I am not as excited as before, and I don't want to strangle her to death. I just want to tell you that that child is not Gao Xian's.
"
"What?" Wang Xiu was stunned.
If it’s not high-quality, then whose is it?
Seeing Wang Xiu's surprised look, Mrs. Li smiled and said: "We were also shocked at the time, but it was indeed not Gao Xian's. He was just the son of a servant. After all, we are all women and can get pregnant easily.
Still a minority.”
"But I no longer want to have contact with Gao Xian, so you ask Lu Yunhong to tell him this news."
Wang Xiu smoothed his hair and felt a little confused.
In order to take revenge on Gao Xian, Mei Min could really do it, and she even insisted on holding Gao Xian responsible for it afterwards. How strong of a psychological quality does this have to have?
After Mrs. Li said what she needed to say, she did not continue walking with Wang Xiu. She was old after all, so she quickly proposed to go back to the banquet.
Because it was getting late, the banquet would end soon.
On the carriage ride back, Wang Xiu lay in Lu Yunhong's arms and told everything.
At the end, I did not forget to exclaim: "I was stunned when I heard this, thinking how could this be possible?"
"But that's what Mrs. Li said. How can it be false?"
Lu Yunhong's eyes flashed slightly, and he gently squeezed her shoulders and said: "Anyway, the child Gao Xian will never be seen again in this life. To say yes, let him carry this thought for a lifetime, why not just say no and let Gao Xian
Wouldn’t it be nice to stop caring about Mei Min’s affairs from now on?”
"Mrs. Li is good at strategy, so it's not surprising that she can lie, but the truth of this matter is no longer important. The important thing is that Mrs. Li recognizes the existence of the child, but will no longer accept Mei Min as her daughter.
"
"She came back this time for Mei Xinjue's marriage. Once Mei Xinjue gets married, and she leaves the capital, the whereabouts of the child will remain a mystery forever."
Wang Xiu sat up and hesitated: "Then will you tell Gao Xian?"
Lu Yunhong said: "Of course, tell the truth."
Wang Xiudao: "I would rather believe that the child is Gao Xian, otherwise Mei Min is crazy."
Lu Yunhong said: "Then you should believe that Mei Min is crazy."
Wang Xiu was stunned, thinking, is it really so unbearable?
The result was really so unbearable.
The next day, a shocking murder occurred in Wu Jinghou's mansion.
Marquis Wu Jing was killed, and it was Li Jin who killed him. After being drunk, Li Jin broke into his father's yard with a knife and stabbed him several times. By the time the imperial doctor arrived, he was already out of breath, and there was blood all over the room.
Two of them were wounded and one was killed.
Because the case was serious, the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and the General Affairs Department jointly presided over the trial.
After Lu Yunhong learned about it, he just said lightly: "The amnesty order has been issued, and there is no way to escape guilt."
"Marquis Wu Jing died, and the title came to an end. The Li family was divided, and the only male in the big house went to prison. Only the female family members were not implicated and still live in that house."
Huang Shaoyu was horrified by what Lu Yunhong said, and he quickly said: "Don't describe it like a haunted house. Li Jin is crying and howling in the prison all day long. Sometimes he sees his father, and sometimes he says he sees his mother. The jailer wants to beat him.
Suck his mouth."
Lu Yunhong turned around, glanced at Huang Shaoyu and said, "You'd better pay attention to what happens in the Queen's Hall that day, you might as well lose someone's life!"
Huang Shaoyu suddenly felt horrified and panicked, and said quickly: "If you know something, just tell me. Are you going to scare people to death?"
Lu Yunhong snorted and said calmly: "When you were investigating the case, you didn't want to expand the case. Maybe it was a husband and wife conspiracy? It's okay to arrest the person first!"
When Huang Shaoyu heard this, he was immediately surprised and said: "You are talking about Mei Min, right? The emperor also said the same when we went to the palace to report the case."
"No wonder you are a favorite. You and the Emperor actually want to go together."
Lu Yunhong glanced at Huang Shaoyu with disgust and said, "You are wrong. It's not that the emperor and I thought of going together, but any smart person can think of it."
Huang Shaoyu: "..." This curse is also roundabout? Haha!
