Ever since Zhu Qingsong was locked up in the woodshed.
There was no more shouting, and the silence made Aunt Zhu suspicious.
She sent someone to check, and they only said that Zhu Qingsong had been meditating and had not done anything else.
Half a day later, Aunt Zhu felt that her brother should have calmed down completely, so she went to the woodshed in person.
She looked at the haggard and expressionless Zhu Qingsong, her heart sank, and said.
"Song'er."
"Song'er, I know you hate me in your heart, but Hong'er and Lu'er took the wrong path and endangered Nian'er. I had no choice but to deal with them. I also did it for the good of our Zhu family! If Nian'er's life story is exposed, the entire Prime Minister's Mansion will be destroyed!"
Hearing this, Zhu Qingsong's eyebrows moved slightly.
Aunt Zhu continued to speak to herself, "If the Prime Minister's Mansion is destroyed, who will protect you, Xiaoshan, and your sister-in-law? Song'er, for me, for Nian'er and Yao'er, for your wife and children, you must accept reality and not be confused."
Zhu Qingsong let out a long breath with a bitter smile on his face.
"I won't be confused anymore. Let me out. I want to see Xiaoshan."
Aunt Zhu felt relieved.
But I haven't let it go completely.
"Okay, sister will let you go now."
Aunt Zhu was about to order the servants to come in and untie his hands, but when she raised her hand, she hesitated.
She was afraid, and she wasn't sure if he really wouldn't act impulsively again.
Once trust is broken, it is difficult to heal.
"Song'er, please wait here for a while. I'll come back after I take care of some things."
Zhu Qingsong's face turned cold and he nodded.
After saying this, Aunt Zhu left in a hurry.
Arriving in front of the firewood house, she ordered, "Bring the wife and children of the Zhu family in Hulu Lane to the Prime Minister's residence."
Then her face was grim, “If you don’t come, I’ll knock you out and ask you to come.”
…
At night, Zhu Qingsong broke free from his restraints, knocked out the guards, and escaped with his wife and children in the cover of night.
He is the captain of a thousand households in the army.
Although the position of the captain of a thousand households in the army was promoted by his brother-in-law, Prime Minister Yan.
But there is still some strength anyway.
This small prime minister's mansion couldn't hold him at all.
Moreover, he had long understood that his sister no longer trusted him and would kill his entire family if possible to silence them.
On the snowy street, Zhu Qingsong hugged his dazed wife in one hand and six-year-old Shan'er in the other, looking around in despair in the cold wind.
After escaping from the Prime Minister's residence, where should he escape to next?
Tianze is so vast that there is no place to hide from the world.
The Prime Minister was extremely powerful, and dealing with an unknown official like him was as easy as crushing an ant.
"Daddy, Shan'er is so cold and so hungry."
"Good boy Shan'er..."
Zhu Qingsong looked at the lights in the prime minister's residence from afar as they began to light up one by one, and listened to the noise in the distance.
I know this is my last choice.
"Daddy... why isn't Mommy talking..."
"Daddy... Shan'er misses his sister."
Zhu Qingsong's face was gloomy and his eyes darkened.
Finally, he headed towards the Huaiwang Mansion.
Sister, now it’s either you or I who will die.
Then go to hell.
Who told you to kill my child first?
…
The next day, morning court was held.
Xu Jinghuai and Zhu Qingsong personally submitted a memorial to impeach Prime Minister Yan and Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue Zhu Nianyan, and listed the charges point by point with evidence.
Prime Minister Yan had a child with someone before marriage, and after marriage, he favored his concubine and killed his wife. He did not distinguish between legitimate and illegitimate children, abused his children, used public power for personal gain, appointed people based on personal connections, and made private transactions.
Zhu Nianyan abused his power to engage in corruption, coerce others, and disregard the law.
The emperor was furious. In the court, he directly investigated and dealt with Prime Minister Yan and Zhu Nianyan on the spot.
Zhu Nianyan was handed over to the Dali Temple!
Prime Minister Yan directly handed the case over to the Ministry of Justice for a thorough investigation if the crime was true.
Not to mention that his wife is the only beloved daughter of Lord Wen, a veteran of three dynasties!!! Just the crime of murdering his wife is enough to make him unable to escape the death penalty!
As soon as this news came out.
Lord Wen brought Wen Xuanming with him, rushed into the Prime Minister's residence with swords in hand, and smashed the residence into a mess.
He even took away the tablet of his beloved daughter.
She returned to the mansion crying with every step.
Suddenly, there was chaos in the prime minister's residence.
The maids and servants were dismissed one after another, and Aunt Zhu and Yan Shuyao searched the Prime Minister's Mansion, which had been smashed to pieces, from top to bottom.
Finally, a box of jewelry and several deeds to the house were found in the prime minister's room.
She wanted to take these last belongings and find a way to get Zhu Nianyan out.
He was stopped by Mrs. Yan, the mother of Prime Minister Yan, who came hurriedly.
"I want to protect them all, including my son!"
Aunt Zhu looked troubled, "Old Madam, you are confused. The Prime Minister has committed a serious crime and it is difficult to protect him. Only Nian'er, Nian'er, has a glimmer of hope!"
"No, no, absolutely not!"
Old Madam Yan signaled to the maid beside her.
The maids brought up two boxes of jewelry.
"Send these over, both of them, and keep them both!"
Seeing that the two sides were at a stalemate, Aunt Zhu looked at Yan Shuyao.
Yan Shuyao endured it again and again and said, "Grandmother! Mother! Why bother doing this useless work! Daddy and brother's case is handled by the emperor himself. You throw all this money into it, it's like throwing hot buns at a dog, it's gone and never comes back! What's more! What's more, even if my mansion dismisses the servants, we still have expenses in various aspects and need money..."
"Yao'er, Yao'er, how could you bear to watch your brother suffer in prison with no one to take care of him?"
"We have to protect them! We have to protect both of them! Even if there is no hope, we have to go!"
"Okay, okay..." After persuading the old lady to leave, Aunt Zhu grabbed Yan Shuyao.
