Chapter 219 Zhao Anping's Misfortune
When Lord Jin heard his son-in-law say this, he knew about this matter. He didn't want to help, but Lord Jin was also an old fox. He immediately lowered his posture and said, "Ping'er, I won't make it difficult for you. Come with me to ask Princess Funing for mercy. That's not too much, right?"
Zhao Anping really didn't want to go. He didn't know how to face his younger sister after something like this happened. But for the sake of their two children, he couldn't divorce his wife, and his father-in-law didn't seem to want to let him go.
He could only look to his father, Lord Zhao, for hope, hoping that he could save him.
Lord Zhao didn't care about such things. His children and grandchildren would have their own blessings. Now Meng'er didn't want the so-called support of his brother anymore. He could do whatever he wanted.
Lord Zhao looked at Lord Li and said gratefully, "Thank you for your impartiality. You will just follow Princess Funing's instructions. I have something else to do, so I'll be leaving now."
As soon as Lord Zhao said this, Lord Jin became anxious. According to Princess Funing's instructions, it would be an assassination. Not only would Jin Mingcheng's life be in jeopardy, but everyone else in the mansion would also be implicated.
Lord Jin could only dodge to block the departure of Old Marquis Zhao: "Old Marquis Zhao, we are in-laws after all. Are you really going to be so ruthless?"
"If I hadn't married that overreaching daughter of your Men family, I wouldn't have encountered such a disgusting thing at my age. Princess Funing and the three young masters were in the carriage at the time. If the horses had been startled and anything had happened to my daughter and grandson, I would have never forgiven your Jin family."
After saying this, Lord Zhao glanced at Jin Mingcheng speechlessly. "How dare your family fabricate a story that my daughter likes this useless guy who is neither good at literature nor martial arts? It's really unlucky."
After saying this, Lord Zhao threw his sleeves and directly pushed Lord Jin away, leaving angrily. Although Lord Zhao was old, he was still a military general and could still push away Lord Jin, a scholar.
After being humiliated like this, Lord Jin wanted to kick Jin Mingcheng twice. He really didn't know about this matter, otherwise he would never let the women in his family do whatever they wanted.
But when he looked at Jin Mingcheng's miserable appearance with only half his life left, he could only sigh in his heart. He could not make up his mind to give up on him. After all, he was his own son.
Zhao Anping saw his father leave, and he prepared to leave too. Unfortunately, he was a step too slow, and his thigh was hugged by his mother-in-law, Zhou. He couldn't kick Zhou away, because if he did, he would be drowned by the spit of the censor tomorrow.
Zhao Anping could only sigh helplessly and said slowly, "Mother, I really have no other choice. Princess Funing's current achievements are all due to herself. It has nothing to do with my family. I have not contributed at all. It's useless for you to keep me!"
"Ping'er! Please help our Mingcheng! We are all family, and our Mingcheng is willing to marry Zhao Lingmeng, so she won't lose anything. Our Mingcheng has never married a wife."
Seeing that her son was already like this, Zhou Shi knew that he would have no good future and would not be able to marry a good man, so she decided to suppress the matter.
"Ms. Zhou, what nonsense are you talking about!" Seeing that his son-in-law's face had turned green, Lord Jin immediately scolded Ms. Zhou.
When Lord Jin saw his wife holding her son-in-law's legs to prevent him from leaving, he was secretly praising Zhou for knowing the importance of the situation at the critical moment. But he never expected that Zhou would still be dreaming at this moment.
Princess Funing was a supreme noble, and she was also favored by the emperor. Even if she had been married, there were countless people who wanted to be her consort.
When Zhou saw the master scolding her, she felt distressed and wronged. That was their son! Her son was already like this, and the master didn't help him. She looked at Mr. Jin in disbelief: "Master, our Cheng'er is already like this, and you..."
"It's his own fault. He was the one who dared to ram Princess Funing's car." Lord Jin could only downplay the matter, otherwise Cheng'er would really not be able to get out.
"Master" Zhou still refused to give up. It was also because Lord Jin had always had a smooth career, which gave her the illusion that the master could solve anything.
She didn't know that in the face of absolute power, her little actions would only make things worse.
Seeing that Zhou was about to speak again, Lord Jin could only glare at her and say, "Shut up! If you want to kill Cheng'er, just keep talking."
Zhao Anping was furious. He knew his brother-in-law best. Even so, his mother-in-law acted like she was doing him a favor. He had no wife, but he had a bunch of other women in the house. How could she say such things?
Zhao Anping felt that his father must have gone far away by now, and he couldn't catch up with him anyway. So Zhou could hold his legs if she wanted!
"Father, I can't do you this favor. If you really want me to do you this favor, then just take Jin back! I can't possibly be expelled from my family for Jin's sake!"
Anyway, Zhao Anping now looks like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water.
Lord Jin was a clever man, and he was good at showing weakness: "Ping'er, don't argue with your mother-in-law. She's just a woman, she doesn't know anything. For the sake of my daughter giving birth to two sons for you, please help Cheng'er! As parents, we can't just watch our children die."
But Zhao Anping wasn't one to fall for this. "Father, it's not that I don't want to help, but I really have no other options. It's useless for you to just waste time with me."
Jingzhao Prefecture Governor Li felt that he had watched enough of the drama, so to avoid embarrassment for Jin, he stepped out to remind him, "Master Jin, you must make a decision quickly. Once the news comes from Princess Funing's residence, we will have to go through the formalities."
Lord Jin pulled two silver bills from his sleeve and tried to put them into Lord Li's hands. "Lord Li, please hold off for a few more days and save this rebellious son's life. We will find a way."
Although Lord Li wanted to accept it, the Marquis of Wu'an was still standing here! He really didn't dare to accept it, so he could only push it back with righteous words.
"Master Jin, let's be frank. I won't deliberately make things difficult for you, but you'd better coordinate things quickly. Otherwise, if the emperor comes to urge me, I won't be able to do anything."
Lord Li, the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, is able to manage Yuanjing, a city full of nobles. He must be tactful, but he is also loyal to the emperor, so as long as the emperor's wishes are fulfilled, he will carry them out without compromise.
But as for the intermediate process of execution! If it can be convenient for others, he will also make it convenient for others, as long as the final result remains unchanged. People don't have to be so rigid.
When Lord Jin heard what Lord Li said, he immediately said, "I understand, I understand! Thank you, Lord Li."
