Chapter 45 The Down-on-Handed Woman (2/2)



Xu Heming lowered his eyes, thinking about how to get justice for Li Zhiwei.

Zhu Jingchen naturally understood his meaning and nodded slightly: "I will never tolerate such arrogant people. Li Tianyou has rendered meritorious service to the country, and his daughter should not be allowed to be bullied by such petty people."

"Xu Heming".

"Your subject is present."

"Immediately take my imperial edict and, together with the Court of Judicial Review, seal off the Marquis of Ru'an's residence and imprison all its inhabitants there to await further orders. Investigate thoroughly and see how many other acts of blatant disrespect for the emperor they have committed besides their audacity!" Zhu Jingchen's tone was chilling, his mind made up.

"Your subject obeys the decree!" Xu Heming bowed and accepted the order, a barely perceptible glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

The Marquis of Ru'an's mansion, this thorn in our side, should have been removed long ago.

Ru'an Marquis's Mansion

After hearing about the Leng family's imprisonment, Lin Jitong locked himself in his room.

I felt a little flustered.

He didn't know if the Leng family's downfall was because Leng Qi had kidnapped Li Zhiwei, but now that she was in Prince An's hands, what if Leng Qi betrayed him...?

No, I cannot fall into the hands of Prince An.

"Husband?" Zhou Yutang looked at the closed door, puzzled.

No matter how much Zhou Yutang knocked on the door, Lin Jitong wouldn't open it.

"Go away, I don't want to see you," Lin Jitong said impatiently.

"Husband, what's wrong? Are you sick?" For some reason, Zhou Yutang had a bad feeling.

She originally thought that marrying her cousin would bring her good days.

However, ever since Li Zhiwei did not marry into the Marquis of Ru'an's family, Lin Jitong, her father-in-law, and her mother-in-law have all had a lot of opinions about her.

She felt that it was because of her that the Lin family had lost face.

She was supposed to be her cousin's legal wife, but now her father-in-law has demoted her to a concubine!

Thinking of this, Zhou Yutang felt extremely uncomfortable. All of this was because of Li Zhiwei, a mere merchant's daughter.

Since she doesn't want to marry into the Lin family, why drag herself into this mess?

"I'm fine, you can go now," Lin Jitong said weakly, feeling an indescribable regret in his heart.

If he had known, he wouldn't have married Zhou Yutang. Wouldn't that have prevented what happened later?

Although Li Zhiwei came from a poor background, she had a generous dowry and was quite beautiful.

That way, my father wouldn't blame me so often.

Zhou Yutang wouldn't always complain to herself.

Xu Qingshi was in the Treasure Pavilion, planning to pick out a gift for Li Zhiwei, since everyone was saying that Li Zhiwei almost got into trouble.

Considering that Li Zhiwei can cook delicious food.

Xu Qingshi wanted to pick out a gift for her.

In that case, perhaps Li Zhiwei will be in a better mood and will cook him something delicious.

"Hey, who's this? Isn't this the Prince An's heir who picked up a down-on-his-luck mother for him?"

As Xu Qingshi was carefully selecting hairpins, a discordant voice rang out.
