With both parents deceased, Yu Tingwan lived under others' roofs, diligently working from dawn till dusk. Her maternal aunt was cruel, intending to sell her to a lecherous gentryman well past s...
Chapter 348 Chapter 348 Good, you have a lot of ideas
. Dark clouds rolled and the rain pounded.
The sky was dim and the lights in Lanyuan began to be lit.
Wei Zhao removed the wheelchair and walked slowly.
Yu Tingwan walked forward along the corridor.
"Master."
Suddenly a dark shadow flashed by, and Rong Di, who had returned with the news, clasped his fists and saluted.
"What's the situation in the palace?"
Rong Di: "Gu Taifu took the lead in forcing, and the civil and military officials attacked and impeached together. The emperor couldn't step down, and still took it lightly. He ordered that Zhou Guogong Zhou Qing be caned with fifty boards and his son twenty boards. He was fined three years' salary and returned home to reflect on his mistakes."
"However, the execution was supervised by Taifu himself."
"After ten boards, Zhou Qing couldn't hold on and fainted. Taifu actually splashed salt water on him to wake him up and made up the remaining forty boards."
"Zhou Qing was carried out of the palace, his lower body was bloody, I'm afraid he was half dead, but he still had a breath left."
Wei Zhao sneered.
Not surprising.
"How could the dog emperor be willing to remove Zhou Qing's title of Duke?"
Emperor Ying Qian still wanted to rely on Duke Zhou to balance the power of the fifth prince Ying Yin. He was even more unwilling to let the Gu family and the Wei family get what they wanted.
But in this way, it would inevitably plant the seeds of dissatisfaction in the hearts of all officials. Therefore, he acquiesced to Gu Fuju's execution to appease the public resentment.
How could Gu Fuju not know the emperor's mind?
He had expected this result when he decided to enter the palace.
As long as the person didn't die, it would be fine.
Therefore, the salt water was mixed with other powders. It was a poisonous powder that was not conducive to wound healing and caused redness, swelling and ulceration.
"As for the Chu family's affair, the emperor thought it was dirty and handed it over to He Yushi."
Rong Di: "He Yushi, who has always been impartial, saw Chu Ning begging for mercy and didn't want to die. He felt that no one is perfect, and Chu Ning's infidelity is excusable. He also cited precedents from the previous dynasty, mentioning that the wife and grandfather of the Chu family had made contributions to the Jin Dynasty, and the Chu family's daughter had committed a crime and should not be sentenced to death."
"He Yushi even asked Zhou Xuan if he wanted to divorce. If he didn't want to, he would forgive his wife and live a stable life in the future."
"Zhou Xuan didn't want to suffer such humiliation and insisted on divorcing his wife."
"He Yushi said that the child was innocent and suggested that Zhou Xuan might as well raise the child if he had no offspring, and add blessings to his family."
Rong Di: "The people in Zhou Guogong's mansion were narrow-minded and didn't agree."
The officials didn't think there was anything wrong, and even felt relieved.
As long as Zhou Guogong didn't die, Emperor Ying Qian didn't bother to care about anything else.
What's more, He Xuran was familiar with the law and had a clear mind. They couldn't find any mistakes.
The matter was finalized in an absurd and hasty manner.
Yu Tingwan: ???
She couldn't believe her ears.
If Chu Ning took the child back to the Chu family to raise, the Chu family would be disgusted, and the people in Zhou Guogong's mansion would be even more disgusted.
Rong Di: "The Grand Tutor specially summoned Lord Chu to talk before leaving the palace."
"It is said that the Chu family's daughter had a mistake, but she was frightened after all. As a father, you must take good care of her. You shouldn't let her make any mistakes."
Yu Tingwan: ...
The Chu family has no chance to secretly kill their daughter or send her away.
Chu Ning's madness.
Yu Tingwan said dimly: "The Chu family... will be lively."
Wei Zhao: "The East Palace will also be lively. How long can the Crown Princess endure when she learns about her daughter's experience?"
He said in a flat tone: "When the matter of Zhou Qing and the Queen mixing up the royal blood is exposed, and the dragon robe hidden in the secret room of Zhou Guogong's mansion is found, can the dog emperor still hold his temper and protect them?"
I'm afraid he will be angry to death.
Yu Tingwan was stunned.
"He dares to hide the dragon robe?"
Wei Zhao guessed: "Maybe he wants to make the whole world surnamed Zhou, and he wants it so much that he's crazy. "
After a pause,
Wei Zhao added: "It's still being made."
Yu Tingwan:??
He said slowly: "I'll send it to him when it's done."
Yu Tingwan:...
Yu Tingwan wanted to go into the house.
But he saw Fu Meng squatting in the corner with his sharp eyes.
His tail was swinging. He was big, so he squatted at the door.
Although there was an eaves above his head to shelter from the rain, the rain was too heavy and there was wind, and his tail was already wet.
He looked miserable.
Especially when he heard the sound, Fu Meng turned his head and deliberately sneezed.
Yu Tingwan raised his eyebrows and walked over.
One hand pressed on the tiger's head.
"Facing the wall again?"
"You can roll in the snow in winter, why do you feel cold now?"
Fu Meng: ...
"Roar!"
Yu Tingwan: "What do you mean?"
Wei Zhao translated: "You are so nosy?"
Yu Tingwan: ...
I should have stopped asking.
Wei Zhao walked into the house and said indifferently when he stepped over the threshold: "Before I left, it was still thinking about its mistakes in the house."
Yu Tingwan understood and rubbed the tiger's face hard: "Okay! It's very cunning. I was wondering why its tail was a little wet. It turned out that it heard the noise and ran out of the house to use a self-torture trick."
Fu Meng: ...
He was upset and was about to wave him away with a claw.
Yu Tingwan: "What crime did you commit? I am in a good mood today and I am happy to plead for you. Let my husband forgive you this time."
Fu Meng's claws fell in the air. He rolled his eyes, wondering if Yu Tingwan was deceiving him.
Shunzi, who was supervising it, said, "Madam, Fu Meng knocked over the general's bookcase."
Yu Tingwan tapped the tiger's head with her slender white fingertips, "You deserve it. Most of the books he kept are ancient books, which are not easy to preserve."
Shunzi: "They are not ancient books. The books in that cabinet can still be bought outside."
Yu Tingwan continued to tap the tiger's head: "How long will the punishment be?"
Shunzi told the truth: "Three days."
Yu Tingwan: "That's too long."
Yes!
The tiger is wronged!
Fu Meng was so anxious that he wanted to dig a hole. He bit Yu Tingwan's skirt and tried to take her into the house.
Go!
I'll give you a chance to plead for me.
Seeing Yu Tingwan being pushed into the house by Fu Meng, Shunzi swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
No...
Fu Meng has done something else, he didn't finish.
The lights were on in the house, and the dim light fell on Wei Zhao.
He sat upright on the table, opening a secret letter.
Yu Tingwan walked over: "Three days is a bit long. From what I heard, the books were not damaged."
Wei Zhao read the letter: "You don't know why it knocked over the bookcase?"
Yu Tingwan:? ?
What should I know?
"It moved all your jewelry into the tiger's den and took it for itself, and also broke a jade pendant. It knew it had done something wrong, and it knocked it over in a panic because it felt guilty."
Yu Tingwan:...
"Which jade?"
Wei Zhao was distracted: "You have never worn it before."
Yu Tingwan thought about it and had an impression.
"It's broken, so it's broken. The jade doesn't look good, and it doesn't look good."
Wei Zhao: "Really?"
"But it's the most expensive, more expensive than all your rubies combined."
No wonder he felt guilty, it turned out that he knew the goods better than her.
Yu Tingwan, who was searching, felt bad all of a sudden.
In Fu Meng's expectation, she took a deep breath and turned around the room directly.
"It really needs to be punished, a spendthrift! Do you have a rattan stick? I must teach it a lesson!"
Fu Meng:? ? ?
Wei Zhao didn't respond.
Yu Tingwan couldn't find the cane, so he was about to vent his anger on Wei Zhao.
"You are too indulgent, and the three-day punishment is too light!"
"If you do this to a child in the future..."
Wei Zhao reacted this time.
He raised his eyelids.
"If it's a daughter."
Yes, that's the condition.
Wei Zhao nodded to himself.
"A kind father."
He raised his chin and looked at Yu Tingwan.
"A strict mother."
Yu Tingwan: ...
Who is better than you in being a human being.
