Chapter 12 Stupid and Vicious
When Sima Fen heard the first half of the sentence, the corners of her mouth immediately cracked, but the second word made the curve of her mouth pause.
Sima Fen was so anxious that he wanted to stamp his feet.
But what’s the matter? Tell me quickly, tell me quickly!
All the civil and military officials in the court stretched their necks out, like baby birds waiting to be fed by their mother.
Jing Chengji raised his buttocks calmly, leaned forward, and waited for the system to continue.
System 3657's deep breath aroused everyone's emotions.
[But Sima Fen has a "good son"! ]
Sima Fen would not think that the system's words were a compliment to her.
Jinghan understood immediately.
[Isn't this just a disguised version of a good grandson bringing prosperity to three generations?]
Everyone didn't know the story behind this and looked a little confused.
Everyone thought that this was the history of the other half of Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess's world.
If possible, they really want to understand.
[Yes, host, Sima Fen's lineage and Sima Shi's lineage were cut off from Sima Fen's grandmother. They either split up or severed all ties. Sima Fen's son happens to be the fourth generation!]
Sima Fen was on the verge of collapse. She repeatedly warned her husband's family, children, and servants that they must not have any connection with Sima Shi.
I don’t know which son treated her words as nonsense.
If possible, Sima Fen really wanted to pull out his son and beat him to death immediately.
The voice of System 3657 was still ringing in everyone's ears.
[I just didn't see the person in question, so I don't know which of Sima Fen's sons he was!]
Sima Fen did not get the information he wanted from the system's words.
She was so angry that her teeth were itching, of course, not towards the system.
Sima Fen had three sons, and the age difference between them was not much different, so any one of them could be the mother.
Sima Fen guessed one by one in his mind, but could not determine who it was.
But when Sima Shi heard this, he sat up in shock despite his dying illness.
“Mmmmm, Mmmmm…Mmmmm.”
Sima Shi struggled to sit up and shouted at Jing Chengji, making a noise to attract everyone's attention.
Seeing this, Jing Chengji just waved his hand, and someone came forward and pulled the smelly socks out of Sima Shi's mouth.
Sima Shi couldn't kneel down, so he turned over and lay on his stomach, expressing his repentance to Jing Chengji, wriggling on the floor like a fat caterpillar.
"Your Majesty, I plead guilty, but Sima Fen is not innocent either. She appears to have had little contact with me, yet her son has close ties with me. How could her son have dared to do this without Sima Fen's permission?"
What Sima Shi said does make a lot of sense if people don't understand the facts.
How could a son have the courage to disobey the orders of the master of the house?
If it weren't for the system's words before, Jing Chengji and the officials present would definitely have been suspicious.
Sima Fen was already fuming with anger, and when she heard Sima Shi was planning to drag her entire family down with him, how could she possibly tolerate this?!
Sima Fen stood up suddenly and first confessed his crime to Jing Chengji.
Before anyone could react, Sima Fen jumped onto Sima Shi's body and started jumping around.
"Ah~ah~" Sima Shi didn't react in time and cried out in pain, then turned over belatedly.
Sima Fen had been prepared for this, and he had already jumped on Sima Shi five, six, seven, or eight times, which made him feel a little relieved.
When Sima Shi turned over, she jumped to the side.
Sima Shi almost couldn't breathe, but he quickly reacted and immediately complained to Jing Chengji.
"Sima Fen, how dare you murder me in front of your majesty? Are you angry and ashamed? Your Majesty, please help me, your majesty!"
Sima Shi cried and shouted, feeling extremely aggrieved.
Upon hearing this, Sima Fen hurriedly expressed his loyalty to Jing Chengji.
"Your Majesty, I absolutely did not do what Sima Shi said. I swear that if I allow my child to be in cahoots with Sima Shi, I will be struck by lightning!"
In this ancient society, no one dared to swear to heaven.
Sima Fen's oath almost completely blocked Sima Shi's plans.
"You really didn't indulge yourself, but you pretended not to know. Otherwise, how could Sima Zhaoyun dare to associate with me behind your back? And Sima Zhaoyun also got his hands on the military pay, hehe!"
Sima Shi chuckled. Although he was going to die, he would be happy if he could drag a few more people to be buried with him.
Even if Sima Fen really didn't know, Sima Zhaoyun had committed a serious crime that implicated his entire clan and should be punished as well.
Sima Fen usually looks down on me, but now he has to go to hell with me.
Sima Fen's legs went limp and he collapsed like mud.
Sima Zhaoyun?! Fine, fine, she hadn't treated him badly on weekdays, so why would he do something that would bring trouble to the family?
Although Sima Fen was unaware of it, he was certainly guilty of negligence.
After all, Sima Zhaoyun is her son.
Sima Fen bowed down.
"Your Majesty, I plead guilty. My negligence in managing the household led to Sima Zhaoyun committing such a heinous crime. I am willing to die. However, my husband, other children, and servants were wrongly accused. I beg Your Majesty to show mercy and spare their lives."
The court was silent, and everyone was waiting for Jing Chengji's order.
Jinghan looked dazed, but was actually chatting with the system in his mind.
[Sima Zhaoyun? Why does this name sound like an old-school male protagonist?!]
[Host, that's right. According to the original timeline, Jing Zhi ascended to power, and Sima Shi became her number one lackey. Sima Zhaoyun believed that he had finally gotten what he wanted after all the hard work, and directly informed Sima Fen. Sima Fen was filled with shame, feeling that she had let Jing Chengji and Jing Han down, and wanted to expel Sima Zhaoyun from the clan. Sima Zhaoyun turned around and directly worshipped Sima Shi as his godfather!]
Sima Fen was so angry that he vomited three liters of blood and died within a few days. Once Sima Fen was gone, Sima Zhaoyun teamed up with Sima Shi to fabricate random charges, killing or selling off Sima Fen's entire family, and then seized Sima Fen's property! Sima Zhaoyun forced his own father, brothers, and sisters to death. Even his stepfather, seeing Sima Zhaoyun's actions, died in despair!
When Sima Fen heard that her husband, children and others had followed in her footsteps, she hit her chest with her fists. Her heart ached so much that she couldn't stop crying.
She kept her grandmother's teachings in mind and did not have any disputes with Sima Shi's lineage, but she was incompetent and could not control her son.
She hated it. They were all dead, leaving Sima Zhaoyun alone. What good could he get?!
This stupid beast!
She was ashamed to admit that this was the son she, Sima Fen, raised.
Jinghan asked for Sima Fen!
Is Sima Zhaoyun a complete idiot? His entire family is gone, and he's a man with no one to back him up. What good can he possibly do? He even treats his mother's family, the family that raised him, like this. How can anyone trust him?
Jing Chengji shook his head, what a stupid and vicious man.
The civil and military officials in the court had learned from this experience and realized how important education is to both men and women.
No matter how rich your family is, it cannot withstand the consumption of a prodigal son.
They thought that after the court session, they would thoroughly investigate the girls and boys in the family to see if they had done anything they shouldn't have.
If you do it, save those who can be saved, and expel those who cannot be saved from the clan directly to avoid dragging the whole family down!
The women and men in the court, both civil and military officials, had no idea that they were about to face a "storm".
Who says it's not true? Sima Fen gave birth to three daughters and three sons, one of whom was born to Xiaodi! But Sima Fen didn't dislike the daughters and sons born to Xiaoshi. It's just that they were born out of wedlock, so naturally they couldn't compare to legitimate children! After all, legitimate children lived well because their fathers had large dowries! But Xiaoshi didn't have a large dowry!
[So, Sima Fen actually treats everyone equally?]
Jinghan asked.
[Yes, there are several children in the family, and there is no such thing as a certain thing. Who has it and who doesn't is just determined by the difference in their fathers. Legitimate children, girls and boys, naturally have a more comfortable life!]
Upon hearing this, all the civil and military officials in the court shook their heads in disapproval.
This is to raise the hearts of concubines' daughters and sons.
Whether they are born out of wedlock or not, they are all your own children.
But since ancient times, there has been a distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children.
Unless the illegitimate child works hard himself, his mother and father will naturally help him.
But if a concubine's child dares to think of competing with a legitimate child, it is absolutely not allowed.
No matter what, they absolutely do not allow waste within the family.
Sima Fen does have a motherly heart, but as the head of the family, she cannot rely solely on her motherly heart.
If a concubine's child in the family understands, he will naturally be satisfied.
But more often than not, there will be someone like Sima Zhaoyun who is never satisfied.
Because it was Sima Fen's "gift" to him, he thought it was his due.
Wasn't Sima Fen also questioning his life?!
She asked herself, she treated her husband with enough dignity and respect, and she treated her children equally, and she had a clear conscience.
Why would Sima Zhaoyun harm his own family?
Sima Fen couldn't understand.
It doesn’t matter, Jinghan will answer her questions.
Sima Zhaoyun was therefore dissatisfied with Sima Fen's attitude of treating everyone equally. They were all Sima Fen's children, so why did his siblings live so freely? He didn't think that because he was born out of wedlock he shouldn't get more!
System 3657 followed suit.
Sima Zhaoyun felt that he was also a child of the Sima family. Why did the head husband only favor his child? He once went to Sima Fen to talk about this, but Sima Fen scolded him! So, a lot of darkness grew in his heart. He believed that he was talented, and he wanted to prove himself, to make Sima Fen regret his partiality. He wanted to prove that he was the most talented child in the Sima family!
Sima Fen still had some impression of this incident.
She is a grown woman, no matter what, she can't be the one who decides her husband's dowry without permission. How shameless is she?
Jing Chengji and all the civil and military officials in the court: There is a big question mark over my head!
Is Sima Zhaoyun sick?
Isn't it natural for a husband to favor his own biological children?
How could there be something wrong?!
If you want to blame someone, blame him for not having that fate and not being reborn as a househusband's child!
Besides, even if it was proof, couldn't he study hard, pass the imperial examination, and become an official, so that the whole family would look at him with admiration?!
But he colluded with Sima Shi and harmed Sima Fen's entire family.
If this is the proof, then I don’t want it!
Jing Chengji and all the civil and military officials in the court thought of their own children again.
They pray in their hearts that their children can work hard and strive, but they cannot work hard or strive randomly.
All the civil and military officials in the court made up their minds again and decided to check on all the children in their families one by one. There was no time to lose!
Jinghan sighed!
