Chapter 162 They really don't know how to use their brains at all

Looking at those who want to push her out, Concubine Chen was really angry and laughed.

"Who have I worked so hard for all these years? Who are you living such a good life because of? Now you want to push the responsibility onto me alone? You wish!"

"If you want to push the responsibility onto me alone, then I would rather the emperor sentence me to a crime of deceiving the emperor and let all of you die!"

This group of ungrateful people, before the incident, the eldest aunt taught them well, but now that something has happened, they push all the responsibility onto her.

She didn't want to fake pregnancy at first, after all, if this matter was discovered, she would lose her head.

It's all for this natal family and for that disappointing brother.

After pretending to be pregnant, the late emperor was very pleased and she took this opportunity to support her natal family.

These bastards got everything from her. She can let them enjoy such a glorious and wealthy life, but she can also make them lose such a life!

Who is afraid of who! Anyway, she has no descendants, so if she dies, everyone dies together!

Seeing Concubine Chen like this, the others were also scared.

They also knew how powerful their eldest aunt was, otherwise she would not have survived the struggle in the harem, and they are still living so well now.

If it weren’t for Lin Mo and the system, maybe their family could really live a good life together, all thanks to this eldest aunt.

But now there is really no way, the whole family can’t be buried because of this thing!

"Madam Concubine! We beg you, too. We have worshipped you like an ancestor for so many years. The children in the mansion are still young. Even if you don't consider us, you should consider the children. Zhen grew up by your side. If you really return those things, what will happen to the children!"

"We are not greedy for glory and wealth. We are all for the children!"

The wife of the Duke and her two sisters-in-law knelt on the ground and cried and shouted. It was so pitiful.

Others also rushed over, and the crying was one after another. Jian Shou was crying more sadly than if his parents had died.

Chen Zhen stood beside Concubine Chen with an awkward look on her face. There were many children in the family, and she was not the most outstanding one. But because she had lived with the Concubine since she was a child, she was always treated differently from other brothers and sisters.

Of course, she hoped that the Concubine would be well, after all, the Concubine was his backer.

But she also didn't want anything to happen to others, after all, she was now the daughter of the Duke's Mansion. If she was given the title of Princess, that would be fine. As long as she was not given the title of Princess, she would have to rely on the Duke's Mansion.

Concubine Chen also saw Chen Zhen's entanglement, "Why, you also want to join them in forcing me, don't forget who brought you up to this age, who let you live such a good life."

Chen Zhen was frightened and knelt down, "Aunt! I didn't think so, but those kneeling here are my parents and brothers and sisters, I don't want anything to happen to you or them."

This was the mess that Duke Chen saw when he returned home.

He was already very angry, and now he was even angrier.

"What are you doing! Get out of here!"

Concubine Chen glanced at her brother and said sarcastically, "Your wives and children are forcing me to confess my crime alone. They are your good family members."

Duke Chen's expression suddenly turned into shame. "Sister, this is my fault. I didn't teach them well. Please rest assured, I will never let you bear it alone. I just want to return these things. Just return them."

"Anyway, these shops and fields have earned a lot of money over the years. Although they can't maintain the extravagant life in the past, it is still enough to maintain the family's expenses. When the time comes, we can use the remaining money to buy some more shops. No matter what, it won't be too bad."

Yes, no matter what, it won't be too bad. Duke Chen was crying poor in front of the emperor.

The income from the shops and fields for decades is not a small amount.

Although it is said that a lot is spent every year, there will be a little left, and this little left every year is enough. With

this money, they can still continue to maintain the family's life by buying shops and fields, but they can't be as extravagant as before.

Almost everyone else knows what happened here.

After the officials returned, they immediately asked their subordinates to investigate.

Such a juicy melon cannot be missed, they want to know whether the emperor will kill Duke Chen or confiscate their homes.

Such a crime is not too much to kill them.

When the treasury was at its most empty and the country was in the most difficult time, so much money was saved, and it was all cheated.

The emperor has become so poor for the country, and these officials will donate large sums of money every year to replenish the treasury, but Duke Chen is so stingy.

Obviously, you have so much money but you don't give a penny. If you were a little more generous when donating every year, with the emperor's character, maybe he would let this matter go. After all , Concubine Chen was not

the concubine who received the most rewards. After the death of the late emperor, the emperor never pursued the matter when those concubines returned to their parents' homes with the gifts given by the late emperor. It's just that Concubine Chen cheated money and Duke Chen was so stingy, which made the emperor so angry. They had no national interests in their eyes and only cared about their own selfish desires. They had touched the emperor's bottom line. Lin Mo and Bai Xiao also knew about this. "You deserve it! You cheated so much money and didn't donate a penny, and you dress up with jewels and gems every day to show off outside. It's no wonder that you got caught." Lin Mo really didn't have a good impression of the young men and women in Duke Chen's mansion. They are the ones who are arrogant and domineering. They never commit big mistakes but small ones all the time. They commit mistakes every day, but they are all things that can be settled. Lin Mo also asked Bai Xiao to find some gossip about them, but they were all not that serious. I have to say that their family is actually quite cautious. The people in the Chen family really have the same personality. They value money more than anything else, but they don’t commit big mistakes. Bai Xiao rolled over on the bed and said, "It’s fortunate that the Queen Mother checked the accounts once, otherwise they would have really escaped. It’s okay for the late emperor to give you things as rewards, but you can’t lie. It’s a bit too immoral to lie and then not give anything back when the country is in trouble."

Bai Xiao was so stupid that he didn't even bother to check. If he did, these people would be exposed! He didn't even bother to think.

The emperor announced to the public that the queen found the problem when she checked the accounts, and also found the doctor who had examined Concubine Chen before, so he knew about Concubine Chen's fake pregnancy.
