Jiang Yingying had tears in her eyes and wanted to refute, but she couldn't hold back a word because she was wrong.
She could only look at the elder's wife for help, but the elder's wife remained silent, acquiescing to Yan Mingzhu's behavior.
Turning around, she looked at her mother-in-law, Mrs. Yuan Er. Mrs. Yuan Er turned her face to the other side, obviously towards Yan Mingzhu.
Jiang Yingying clenched her palms and said, "I'll eat it. Can't you do it after I finish it?"
Grab some snacks and stuff them into your mouth.
At this time, Feiyu said: "Don't pretend to be aggrieved because you clearly got an advantage. Miss Yan pawned all the jewelry she owned in exchange for what you are eating now."
Yes, if this were not the case, you would be waiting to starve to death!"
Everyone looked at Yan Mingzhu in surprise and found that all the jewelry she wore was gone. Apart from her clothes, there was only a wooden hairpin that fixed her bun.
Yan Mingzhu sold all her jewelry to buy food for the Yuan family. However, Jiang Yingying, as her granddaughter-in-law, not only did not know how to be considerate, she even lost her temper here and disliked the food being unpalatable.
The before and after comparison is simply not too tragic!
Jiang Yingying probably knew that she was too embarrassed, so after eating the snacks, she ran away with tears.
Yan Mingzhu was too lazy to care about her, and handed the letter to Feiyu instead, "Please ask Feiyu to deliver these letters to His Highness. By the way, please tell His Highness for me that I will go to the palace to detoxify Your Highness today at You Time."
.”
After Feiyu left, Mrs. Yuan held Yan Mingzhu's hand distressedly, "Zhuzhu, why are you doing this..."
Yan Mingzhu handed the jade bracelet back to the elder's wife and said with a smile: "Grandma, this is your dowry bracelet. It means a lot to you. Please keep it."
The jewelry I have are just personal belongings. When I have money, I can buy other things. My granddaughter has something very important right now and needs my grandmother’s help."
After arriving in the study, Yan Mingzhu spread out a piece of paper and asked: "Grandma, what are the dowries you gave me before? Please come with me one by one. I will go to Pei's house later. When all the dowries are returned, we will
Don’t worry about money anymore.”
The senator's wife was stunned for a moment, but immediately objected: "This can't be done. When you left the Pei family, Zhuzhu, you cut off the descendants of Pei Zhuoran. The Pei family will definitely hate you to the bone. If you come here now, it will be no different.
Yu Zi fell into a trap.
If in the past, the Pei family dared to touch you, I would risk my life just to make them look good, but now that the Yuan family is in such a predicament, my grandmother will never let you die!"
The sincere concern of the elder lady made Yan Mingzhu's heart warm. She patted the back of the elder lady's hand comfortingly and said in a calm tone: "Grandma, don't worry, my granddaughter cherishes her life and will never die.
Those dowries are mine, and it is only natural for me to take them back. I promise that I will never let the Pei family have the opportunity to bully me."
If she wants to be bullied, she can only take revenge on the Pei family. She doesn't look down on those idiots in the Pei family!
The Royal Palace, inside the Jinluan Hall.
The Minister of War is reporting the case of Marquis Yongyi, "Your Majesty, now that the bodies of Marquis Yongyi and others have been transported back to the imperial capital, can the case of Marquis Yongyi's crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason be finalized?"
Just as Emperor Zhao was about to speak, Qi Jue Qingqing said calmly: "Father, regarding the case of Marquis Yongyi, I still have doubts."
"Oh, Jue'er, what did you discover?"
Qi Jue took out a few letters and said, "Father, these are the letters that Marquis Yongyi writes to and from the Yuan family on weekdays. I heard recently that every time Marquis Yongyi writes a letter, he will stamp it at the end of the signature
Your own private seal.
But according to what I know, the documents submitted by Vice-General Sun to prove that Marquis Yongyi collaborated with the enemy and treason only contained the seal of the Tiger Talisman, but not Marquis Yongyi’s private seal. Isn’t this strange?”
Eunuch Liu took these letters and showed them to Emperor Zhao.
Emperor Zhao looked through it and found that every letter contained a private seal.
Prince Qi Xi sneered and retorted: "This question from the Nine Emperors Brother is really unnecessary. What if Marquis Yongyi is old and forgets to stamp his personal seal after writing the document? Can this be called a point of doubt?"
Qi Jue asked unhurriedly: "Is it possible that Marquis Yongyi even remembered to stamp the letters he wrote to his family, but forgot to stamp his personal seal on the collaborating documents involving his family and life?
To put it bluntly, if Marquis Yongyi really collaborates with the enemy, with Marquis Yongyi’s ability to lead troops, Xiyue will definitely treat him as a guest, how can he let all the sons of the Yuan family die on the battlefield?"
The prince choked, and immediately brought up another matter: "The Nine Emperors brothers are really nosy. Even the fact that Marquis Yongyi collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country was a definite matter, and he dared to raise so-called doubts.
No wonder, on the first day of his return to the court, he dared to break into the Guo Mansion with a sword and kill Guo Shangshu with a sword in front of everyone!"
As he said this, the prince glanced at the imperial censor.
The imperial censor immediately took a step forward, knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Dingbei blatantly flouted the national law and brutally killed an important minister of the dynasty without His Majesty's orders. This not only ignores the law, but also disrespects Your Majesty.
In my eyes, if I don’t punish you severely, I might be imitated by everyone in the world, Your Majesty!”
Immediately afterwards, several ministers in the palace knelt down and shouted: "Your Majesty, please severely punish His Royal Highness King Bei to rectify the law!"
The prince's lips curled up into a winning smile.
Qi Jue, you finally have this day, let’s see how you die today!
Emperor Zhao did not say yes or no, but looked at Qi Jue, "Jue'er, do you have anything to explain about Guo Shangshu?"
Qi Jue knelt down on one knee and spoke in a leisurely manner: "This man was indeed killed by my son, I will not deny it."
Emperor Zhao's face darkened, but before he could speak, Qi Jue added: "But Guo Xiang deserves death. The crime he committed is enough to implicate the nine clans."
With that said, Qi Jue presented another piece of evidence, "Father, these were collected by my sons and ministers. Over the years, Guo Xiang has taken advantage of his authority to take advantage of his power. Please take a look at it."
When the prince heard that he was greedy for power, his expression suddenly changed. After seeing the evidence, Emperor Zhao became furious and said, "This Guo Xiang really has the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard!"
Qi Jue presented another thing, "This transfer order was found from the study of Guo Xiang when he was executing him. When the time came, he was ordered to support the battle of Yueshan. When he penetrated deep into the enemy's army, he fought bloody
However, because the food and grass were not delivered in time, many soldiers starved to death and even had to kill their horses to satisfy their hunger."
Hearing this, Emperor Zhao couldn't help but frown, "The grain and grass were not delivered on time? How is this possible? I remember that when Jue'er went on the expedition, he ordered the Ministry of Household Affairs to collect the grain and grass and transport it to Yue Mountain immediately."
