There was not a single word Zhou Xuan liked to hear!

He was even about to vomit blood!!

Ning Yunling swaggered over to lead the way.

Zhou Xuan completely lost his mind and went to the backyard without Ning Yunling leading the way. But he was held down by Xiao Huaiyan.

"Why are you walking so fast? Come with me."

At first, few people dared to follow. After all, the power of the Duke's Mansion was there, who dared to laugh at them.

But everyone was looking forward to it, waiting for someone to take the lead.

Jiashan moved.

She said calmly, "I really need to go and see. Hearing is believing. Seeing is believing. Apart from anything else, the matter of the Chu brothers and sisters is a done deal, lest the Duke Zhou's Mansion refuses to admit it and blames me for throwing dirty water."

"At the beginning, Duke Zhou's brother took Wu Shi San as food, became addicted and fell into the water and died, and blamed my Gu family. Later, his son Zhou Xuan got drunk and couldn't stand steadily, fell from the upstairs and broke his leg, and also blamed the Gu family. After making so many difficulties, what else would Duke Zhou not dare to do?"

Although the latter thing was done by Gu Fuju.

But does Duke Zhou have evidence!

As soon as she moved, Gu Fuju stood up.

"Although it is the family affair of the Duke's Mansion, logically speaking, we should not get involved. However, it involves a lot of people. Not to mention my Gu family, the Shun Duke's Mansion is also involved." "The

Wei family has been loyal for generations."

"The Duke Zhou's Mansion is the mother's family of the Queen. There must not be any stain. It is no longer the Zhou family's family affair."

That is the mother of a country!

The dirty things in the mother's family that are not allowed to be seen can be completely magnified.

He Xuran did not come.

But the Imperial Censors attending the banquet today are headed by him. After a few glances, they all stood up.

"If someone in the Duke Zhou's Mansion does something dirty, the Imperial Censorate will report it to the emperor. There will be no partiality because Duke Zhou is the father-in-law of the royal family."

After speaking, they saluted Duke Zhou.

"If Duke Zhou has a clear conscience and has not done it, the Imperial Censorate will prove your innocence."

Gu Fuju nodded, and then said: "The young lady of your mansion is a daughter of the Chu family."

He called a name.

"Wang Quan."

The Minister of Rites stood up and said, "I am here."

"Does his father work for you?"

"Your Excellency remembers correctly. Chu Zhen served as the Minister of Rites."

"The Ministry of Rites is in charge of the policies of etiquette, sacrifices, and tributes throughout the country. If his children are morally deficient and disregard human relations, how can they be competent officials if they do not manage their families strictly?"

Gu Fuju glanced at the officials on the men's side.

"Everyone."

Just two words.

All the civil officials and military generals stood up and bowed respectfully.

"Grand Tutor."

Gu Taifu: "Why don't we go together?"

Nearly 80% of the officials said without hesitation, "Yes."

As soon as Gu Fuju left, most of the officials also left. Only the prince's party and those who followed Duke Zhou were left.

The female family members, seeing their men leave, also stood up and followed behind.

It is no exaggeration to say that the team is spectacular.

Duke Zhou's blood rushed to his head. This happened too suddenly, and he didn't know what to do.

Stop it?

But it has come to this critical moment. If he really stops it, I am afraid that within a stick of incense, the news will spread that he is shameless and has an affair with his daughter-in-law.

He was disheartened. He didn't

want to take the blame.

But for a moment, he thought that it would be good if the child was his!

But...

he quickly calmed down.

Although the child is not of the Zhou family, he will never know his life experience.

Nanny couldn't stand it anymore and walked straight to Duke Zhou.

"Duke, you..."

Duke Zhou knew what she wanted to say.

She was just asking if he was really involved with Chu Ning.

Duke Zhou was thinking about it now!

At least the child has the surname Zhou!

He shook his head heavily.

Nanny's heart sank again and again, and she just felt it was ridiculous!

But...

now that things have come to this, we can only make the best of it and let no one else know about the swap.

The nanny concealed her reluctance.

The prince's own daughter, I'm afraid she will have to bear the reputation of a bad person for the rest of her life.

But...

nothing can stop the majesty and the Zhou family's

plan. Even if it's a sacrifice, it's paving the way for the Zhou family.

Who made her a female fetus, unable to compete for the throne, that's her fate.

The nanny hardened her heart.

"I will report everything to the majesty today."

She had no intention of going to watch, and she had already determined that the Chu family siblings were having an affair.

The officials just now were all shrewd people, how could they not see it! Following the Taifu now is just to get evidence!

At the end of the matter, there is no room for maneuver. The Zhou family can only admit defeat, and the only thing Duke Zhou can do is to distance himself from it.

But...

the Gu family came prepared, and the Shungong Mansion was involved. If they control the direction, I'm afraid... they can't distance themselves from it.

Shen Zhiyi followed the large group anxiously, but just after leaving the flower hall, Yu Tingwan stopped moving.

Yu Tingwan lowered her head and kicked the stone.

"What? What are you doing? Let's go! Let's go and watch the fun."

Yu Tingwan said softly: "Xiao Huaiyan and Ning Yunling are paving the way in front, and I have to stay to clean up the mess."

Shen Zhiyi:? ?

She didn't understand.

But until Tan Jiang pulled the hem of Yu Tingwan's clothes.

"Madam, I'm here."

Yu Tingwan smiled, kicked the stone away, and exhaled faintly.

Shen Zhiyi: "What's wrong again?"

"Suddenly I thought of something, and I couldn't help sighing."

Shen Zhiyi:...?

What are you sighing about?

She was about to scold Yu Tingwan for being sick.

But looking at Yu Tingwan's clear eyes, she suddenly felt that she! There must be something deep about her!

Shen Zhiyi humbly asked for advice.

"What?"

Yu Tingwan: "We are poor, and many families can't find wives. In the end, the elders decide to marry close relatives."

"Some grandparents marry their cousins. Some exchange marriages with their aunt's family, marrying their younger sister to their aunt's son, and then marrying their aunt's daughter. In this way, they don't have to pay a penny for the betrothal gift."

"But I don't know why. Most of the children born are not right. In the family I know, a woman gave birth to eight children, six of whom had problems. At first, I couldn't detect the trick, but when the children grew up, I could see that something was wrong."

Shen Zhiyi didn't react at first.

She nodded.

"How could this be? As far as I know, cousins ​​are not allowed to marry each other. Even if they are close relatives, they rarely get married."

Yu Tingwan said indifferently: "The poor and remote areas are not worthy of education, and the cognition is shallow. Even if they know the risks, they can't even afford to eat. For the so-called continuation of the family line, they are selfish."

The stupid ones are sent directly to the mountains and become food for wild beasts. If they find something wrong everywhere and are unwilling to raise them, they will strangle them to death.

If one out of eight is normal, it is worth it for those people.

Yu Tingwan: "That's why. I'm worried."

Shen Zhiyi suddenly realized: "You are worried that the child is also mentally retarded."

"I didn't think there was anything wrong, but now that you mention it, I am really worried. I saw that the child was listless and not in good spirits before. I thought it was due to premature birth, but I'm afraid it's not."

She lowered her voice: "If it is the Duke's, it's okay, after all, they all have the surname Zhou. But if it is the Chu family..."

Yu Tingwan's voice was not low, and she added for her: "What if it is also a mentally retarded child, it will really add to the sin."

As she spoke, she turned her head.

She looked at the nanny who came behind her at some point.

The nanny was very stiff, with a gloomy face.

Shen Zhiyi subconsciously shrank in fear.

Yu Tingwan met the nanny's eyes, slowly covered her chest, and pretended to be afraid.

Her voice was gentle and soft, and she took the initiative and said more arrogantly than anyone else.

"You are really open-minded."

"Why are you still secretly eavesdropping on other people's conversations?"
