Things were going well for Yun Yuan, but things were in turmoil over there for Zhong Jianmin.
When Yun Yuan was five months pregnant, Zhong Jianmin's affair was exposed. Not only was he dismissed from his position, he also faced imprisonment.
"What did you say?" Wu Yishu was shocked and angry. "The general is a hero who serves his country and his people. How could he do such a thing? When the general comes back, I will make him punish you!"
The official in charge of the confiscation spoke with righteous indignation to the onlookers, shouting, "Zhong Jianmin colluded with bandits, murdering unregistered villagers and pretending to be a bandit to gain promotion. He is unforgivable and has committed heinous crimes. He even embezzled disaster relief grain during the Henan disaster relief effort, leaving a terrible legacy! All the property in the mansion will be confiscated, and his family will be imprisoned. They will be tried at a later date."
When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
"Okay, I said a long time ago that there was something wrong with his official position, and sure enough, it turned out to be true!"
"Not having household registration doesn't protect people from the law, but that doesn't mean they can be killed at will."
"The mountain people avoided registering their household registration to avoid taxes and corvee labor, but they unexpectedly ran into a bad guy like Zhong Jianmin. It was simply not worth it."
"Bah! Disgusting, a disgrace to us Gusu people!"
"If you can be so cruel to your original wife, how can you be so cruel to someone who is not related to you?"
"Shh! Now it's the Queen."
Hearing the noise, Madam Ge hurried over. Seeing that the soldiers had surrounded the general's residence, she said in fear, "What's the misunderstanding? This is General Zhenwei's residence!"
All she got in response were eggplant leaves and the crowd's curses.
Mrs. Ge had never seen such a situation before. When she saw Wu Yishu in panic, she slapped her without giving her any explanation.
"Bitch, is this your fault? You are indeed a disaster!"
Wu Yishu subconsciously shrank back, then kicked Ge, who fell to the ground. With a snap, her leg was broken and she lay on the ground screaming.
Younger Zhong pounced on Ge: "Mom, are you okay?!" He looked at Wu Yishu with hatred. Wu Yishu's heart skipped a beat and she hurriedly protected her stomach. The next moment, she was thrown to the ground.
Zhong Xiaodi kicked and cursed: "Bitch, you are just a concubine. When the child is born, I will let my brother sell you to a brothel."
Wu Yishu no longer cared about the pain in her body. She only felt waves of pain in her lower abdomen, cold sweats, and groaning.
"Help! I'm in so much pain, my child, my child..."
Everyone was shocked. Two people fell before they even started fighting. It was quite exciting.
It was the officer in charge who reacted.
"Come here, carry the man to the prison, and ask for a doctor as well."
In the end, the General's Mansion was emptied and sealed off. Its former prosperity vanished like a passing cloud, with only the cicadas chirping incessantly on the wilted trees from the sun.
Summer had arrived. Yun Yuan lazily lay on the chaise longue, enjoying the cool breeze. Hearing about Zhong Jianmin's situation, she looked indifferent: "He deserved it. Your Majesty, how do you intend to deal with him?"
The emperor took the fan and fanned her closely, saying, "Zhong Jianmin deserves death. I'll leave the others to you."
Yun Yuan paused, a little surprised: "Aren't you afraid that I will let them go?"
The emperor said lovingly, "Let them go if you want, but I know you won't. I know you've suffered a lot of grievances in the Zhong family. Now you can deal with them openly and honestly, and no one will dare to say anything bad about you."
Yun Yuan felt warm in her heart: "Have you been investigating Zhong Jianmin's affairs for a long time?"
Emperor: "I don't like him."
Yun Yuan's eyes flashed with cunning, and she asked knowingly, "Why?"
The emperor was furious. He threw his fan away and picked her up. Yun Yuan cried softly, "What are you doing?"
"Fuck you!"
"You...you..." Yun Yuan couldn't believe that he would say such vulgar words.
The emperor bent down and kissed her lips, biting them lightly as punishment. Seeing the mist in Yun Yuan's eyes, his eyes became deep and he strode into the room.
Yun Yuan tried to stop him: "It's daytime now."
"I don't mind committing adultery in broad daylight."
Facts have proved that a jealous man should not be provoked. Yun Yuan's face flushed and she punched the emperor on the waist.
The emperor groaned, "You murdered your own husband!"
Yun Yuan threw another punch. The emperor held her fist and gently rubbed it twice.
"What are you going to do with those families?"
Yun Yuan suddenly became excited: "Exiled to the northwest, men will mine and women will herd sheep, and they will never be allowed to leave."
"Anything else?"
"Um... the third generation, no, the fifth generation is not allowed to take the imperial examination."
The emperor suddenly laughed, and then told Yun Yuan about Zhong Jianmin's childless death. Yun Yuan was stunned: "You did it?"
The emperor felt a little aggrieved: "He always bullies you and even sends people to kill you. I am so angry that I want to vent my anger on you. You won't blame me, right?"
Yun Yuan suddenly drank a cup of tea with a strange look on her face: "Of course not, I have nothing to do with him anymore, you can do whatever you want with him."
"His second wife gave birth to a girl in prison."
In ancient times, only men could carry on the family line. Yun Yuan chuckled and said, "That would really mean no descendants." Unless she could find a son-in-law, but that would be difficult given the conditions of exile in the northwest.
Zhong Jianmin went crazy in the prison, "You useless little girl!"
Wu Yishu lay weakly on the dark and damp ground, begging, "Please carry me to a dry place, please, save me..."
No one paid any attention to her. Mrs. Ge and Zhong Xiaodi were frightened by Zhong Jianmin's reaction.
Mrs. Ge sighed and tried to comfort him while dragging her broken leg: "She's just a girl. In her current situation, even a boy probably wouldn't live long." If the girl died, she died. She didn't feel sad.
Zhong Xiaodi was also afraid: "Big, big brother, although it is a girl, but... she is also your blood."
Zhong Jianmin seemed to be provoked and suddenly burst into tears.
