Chapter 234 Waiting for You at Dali Temple
“Oh.”
[Your Majesty, Shu'er is still young and doesn't have the strength to take you into the space. Xiao Hulu will help Shu'er pick up chicken poop. Your Majesty, you don't have to worry.]
Chu Qinshu asked Xiao Hulu about whether it was possible to bring people into the space.
Living people cannot enter the space for the time being. Even if they can enter the space in the future, only those who are related to Chu Qinshu by blood can enter.
"Okay, if it's tiring, then Shu'er doesn't have to grow so many fruits and grains. The same goes for chickens. If you can avoid raising them, then don't raise them."
Emperor Yongping realized that he could not help, so he could only persuade his granddaughter to work less.
I also made a secret resolution in my heart that I would never ask my granddaughter for those precious foods again.
Although the granddaughter said that she didn't have to plant it herself, there were only her and Xiao Hulu in that space, so how could she not do anything?
“Ahh.”
【Okay, Shu'er, listen to the emperor. 】
Chu Qinshu happily agreed. She didn't have much work to do in the first place, so she pushed all the work that could be done to Xiao Hulu.
Therefore, she had to accept Emperor Yongping's advice.
After the grandfather and grandson finished talking, Emperor Yongping began to coax Chu Qinshu to sleep.
He waited until Chu Qinshu fell asleep before he went to wash up and rest.
The next afternoon, Zhou Hongjing still found a way to go to the Dali Temple prison.
It is easy to change the household registration, but it is really impossible to get the family tree.
Therefore, the only way to save Zhou Jiaming is to divorce the Ma family.
In the Dali Temple prison.
Zhou Jiaming was imprisoned in the same cell with the women of the Ma family. Her bright and beautiful wedding dress from yesterday had been stripped off and replaced with a set of coarse cloth clothes.
At this moment, she had lost the hysteria of yesterday, and was curled up in the corner with a dull look in her eyes.
Matthew Li and his sons were taken to the torture chamber and interrogated all night, and were sent back to the cell at dawn.
He was fine when he left, but was covered in blood when he came back.
Zhou Jiaming was so frightened that he didn't even dare to say a word.
"Zhou Hongjing, you have brought this upon our Ma family. Have you achieved your wish?"
When Matthew Li saw Zhou Hongjing, he questioned with bloodshot eyes.
"What do you mean, Old Ma? How do your Ma family's affairs have anything to do with me?"
Zhou Hongjing came to discuss Zhou Jiaming's divorce with Matthew Li, so he was very friendly to Matthew Li.
He was really confused by Matthew Li's questioning.
"Hmph! Stop pretending to be ignorant in front of me."
Matthew Li hated Zhou Hongjing so much that he snorted and turned his head away, ignoring him.
He knew without even thinking about the purpose of Zhou Hongjing's coming to the Dali Temple.
But he did it on purpose, so how could he let Zhou Hongjing get what he wanted?
"Hey, Old Ma, I'm really not playing dumb. I'm an official in the same court as you. What good would it do for me to harm you?"
Zhou Hongjing didn't remember for a moment that he had gone to Yuzhou to investigate a case, and he was arguing seriously with Matthew Li.
What he wanted to say could only be brought up when Matthew was no longer angry.
Besides, having said this, he still had to go back and raise the 200,000 taels of tax money.
"Huh, who knows what's going on in your head?"
Matthew Li didn't even look at Zhou Hongjing, he just snorted angrily.
He had been tortured, and although the people from the Dali Temple used various threats and inducements on him, he did not reveal anything about Yuzhou.
But he knew that since Emperor Yongping could order his arrest, he must have a lot of evidence in his hands.
All of this was caused by Zhou Hongjing's trip to Yuzhou to look for the eighteenth prince.
He has been sent to prison, so it is impossible for Zhou Hongjing to suffer any loss.
"Old Ma, you have misunderstood. I really have nothing to do with your Ma family's affairs."
Zhou Hongjing tried his best to smile and patiently explained to Matthew Li.
Matthew ignored him.
"Old Ma, whether you believe it or not, I have nothing to do with the Ma family's affairs.
I came here today to ask you to allow my daughter to divorce your Ma family because we were once colleagues."
Seeing that Matthew ignored him, Zhou Hongjing still tried to tell him his purpose.
However, Matthew Li remained silent.
"My good son-in-law, you can make the decision on this matter. Ming'er and you just got married. If you love her, you should let her go back to her parents' home."
Seeing that Ma Xiuli ignored him, Zhou Hongjing had no choice but to turn to Ma Ruyu.
“Although what my father-in-law said makes sense, Ming’er has already married into the Ma family and should stand by them.
If the Ma family is in trouble, she will go back home with Li, which will also be bad for the reputation of the women of the Zhou family. Father-in-law should think more about the Zhou family members. "
Ma Ruyu hated Zhou Hongjing as much as Ma Xiuli.
Before yesterday, he just thought that his father asked him to marry Zhou Jiaming in order to keep his wife and children out of the house.
It was only after he entered the Dali Temple that his father told him that the investigation of the Ma family was actually caused by Zhou Hongjing.
"You don't have to worry about the reputation of the Zhou family. You just need to write the divorce letter and let Ming'er go home."
Before Zhou Hongjing came to the Dali Temple, he had thought about the reputation of the women in his clan.
The Ma family's affairs will always pass, and the impact will fade away, but it is not easy for him to raise a daughter.
As long as the daughter is rescued, after a year or two, no one in the capital will talk about the Ma family's affairs anymore, and she can be married to a good family, which will also be a help to the Zhou family.
"Father-in-law, I cannot make the decision on this matter. Please don't make it difficult for me."
Ma Ruyu's conversation with Zhou Hongjing was only out of courtesy.
After responding with two sentences, he didn't want to say anything more.
"you......"
When Zhou Hongjing heard that Ma Ruyu would not let Zhou Jiaming go, he was so angry that he wanted to curse.
But when he saw the prison guard on duty staring at them, he endured it.
"Zhou Hongjing, I advise you not to waste your words any more. It is possible that our two families still have an unbreakable bond."
Matthew Li saw Zhou Hongjing's hands shaking with anger and retorted to him again.
"You old bastard, you deserve to be sent to the Dali Temple for harming my daughter..."
Zhou Hongjing thought that Matthew was cursing him, and he was so angry that he couldn't hold it in any longer and cursed him.
The attitudes of Ma Xiuli and Ma Ruyu made him realize that his little daughter was really raised in vain.
Since he couldn't save his daughter, if he didn't scold them to vent his anger, how could he have another chance in the future?
"Master Zhou, Master Yu and the others are about to come to interrogate the prisoners. You should go back quickly."
The jailer heard the commotion and rushed over to urge him to leave.
"Zhou Hongjing, I am waiting at the Dali Temple, waiting for your Zhou family to accompany my Ma family."
When Ma Xiuli saw Zhou Hongjing leave, he said this leisurely.
Zhou Hongjing: "Horse..."
"Master Zhou, don't worry about what the prisoner said. It's more important to leave as soon as possible."
Of course, the jailer also heard what Matthew said. He was afraid that Zhou Hongjing would run back to argue with him again, so he hurried to persuade him.
This Dali Temple imprisoned all former officials.
The jailers heard this kind of talk quite often.
Although Zhou Hongjing was unhappy, he really couldn't argue with Matthew anymore and could only leave angrily.
"Master, something happened."
Steward Zhou had been waiting outside the Dali Temple. When he saw Zhou Hongjing coming out, he hurried to greet him.
"Pah, pah, pah, I'm fine, your father, please don't say such unlucky words again."
Zhou Hongjing became even angrier when he heard what the housekeeper said.
That old bastard Matthew Li cursed him, so why did his own butler curse him too? How unlucky.
