Chapter 73: Losing
one's integrity in old age Now when his wife came forward to ask him about it, he said, "I'm afraid that this old man's misfortune is coming. Shangguan Ze has been imprisoned, and I don't know what happened. The Dali Temple sent me a message saying that there was a case of imperial examination fraud. Maybe the emperor will punish me. Alas."
Sun was shocked when she heard it, "Master, you... you can't be, you actually participated in the imperial examination fraud? How much money did you embezzle?"
Lord Wen sighed, "Madam, do you think your husband is the kind of person who is corrupt and perverts the law?
At that time, the emperor went against the public opinion and allowed me, a ninth-rank official, to directly enter the capital to serve as an official. I have always been grateful to the emperor and vowed to be loyal to the emperor. How can I do something that is not worthy of the emperor in secret?"
"Just tell me, how much silver did Shangguan Ze give you? How come I haven't seen it? Now Shangguan Ze has betrayed you. In the end, if you say that you didn't even embezzle the silver, that would be too unfair, right?"
"Madam!" Lord Wen was so angry that he almost died. "You are greedy for money, but you are almost greedy. You can't embezzle all kinds of money in this world!
Do you know how serious the consequences of imperial examination fraud are
? If you are not careful, your property will be confiscated and you will be exiled, and you will lose your job and your head! If I go to jail, will you and your daughter still have a way to escape?"
When Sun heard this, she sat on the ground and lowered her head to wipe her tears, "My old man, what should we do? Let's go to the palace to find the emperor."
"Yes, yes, yes, find the emperor, find the emperor."
Lord Wen turned his head quickly and walked away again, muttering as he walked: "I am wondering, I don't have any friendship with Shangguan Ze on weekdays, let alone any grudges. Why did this former prince consort frame me? And he made so much sense. If I hadn't been sober, I would have really thought I did it.
Strange, it's really strange."
Sun was still wiping her tears when she saw Wen Qingyuan coming in.
"Yuan'er, why are you so depressed today?"
Wen Qingyuan didn't even look at Sun, and waved his hand, "Don't mention it."
He saw everything on the street yesterday. The prince consort was imprisoned, and all of Xiao Liangliang's money, gold, silver, houses, fields and shops were taken away by the princess.
Fortunately, Xiao Liangliang was a tight-lipped man and didn't reveal that he was the father of the child, otherwise he would have to be beaten with rotten vegetable leaves and stinky eggs.
"Madam, Master, there is a woman holding a child outside, saying that she is here to find the father of the child."
Sun was shocked, "What? Good fellow!"
Old Wen was actually hooking up with other women behind her back?
You are such an ungrateful old fellow.
It was so irritating.
Wen Qingyuan: "..."
He subconsciously took a step back. Speak of the devil and he will appear.
Xiao Liangliang is here with a child?
Sun took Wen Qingyuan to the gate of the mansion, and sure enough, they saw Xiao Liangliang holding a child, looking miserable, as if he had suffered a great injustice.
Wen Qingyuan stared at Xiao Liangliang.
Sun was so angry that she was shaking all over. A man named Wen actually... not only did he find a woman outside, but he also got her pregnant. Now he came to her house with the child in his arms.
Xiao Liangliang knelt down with the child in his arms, "Madam Sun... Master Xiao..."
Sun walked forward angrily, "Who are you?"
"Xiao Liangliang, this is the child of the Wen family, Madam, please take a look."
Sun rolled her eyes in anger, "I won't look! You are such a vixen, you dare to seduce someone from the Wen family, what are you thinking?"
Xiao Liangliang's eyes widened and his face turned pale.
She had lived in the capital for so many years, and she had heard of Sun's name.
Relying on the fact that she had saved Minister Wen in the past, she had been dominating the Wen family. The key point was that Minister Wen was still a loyal man.
There was a tigress at home, but she had never been unfaithful outside.
Wen Qingyuan hid behind Sun and dared not to come out.
Based on his understanding of her mother, she would definitely beat him to death if she knew what he had done.
"I..."
"Don't talk to me, get out of here! The Wen Mansion doesn't welcome you."
Xiao Liangliang shook her head. She had nowhere to go now and she had no money. "I won't leave. If I leave, my child and I can't survive."
"Now you know you can't survive. When you seduced men, you just spread your legs and thought you were happy. Why didn't you think of today?
I've seen a lot of people like you, and they're just after money.
Whoever gives you money can sleep with you!"
Xiao Liangliang was scolded. She was scolded every day in the past two days.
"Also, stay away from me, you stink! Do you really think that you are from the Wen family just because you come here with a child in your arms? That's ridiculous. Get out, stay away from the Wen family! Otherwise I'll beat you to death, you bastard!"
Xiao Liangliang burst into tears, "Master Xiao, say something, Master Xiao..."
Sun was so angry that she rolled up her sleeves and put her hands on her hips, "Well, you little bitch, you even know my son. You've found out everything about us just to get into the Wen family.
Yuan'er, bring me a broom, I'm going to sweep out this garbage today."
Wen Qingyuan stood still with his head down.
Sun turned her head, "Why are you standing there? Why are you shaking?"
"Mom, Liangliang she..."
"What do you mean by she?"
Wen Qingyuan nodded, "I... I'll get it now."
Xiao Liangliang's heart fell into an ice cellar, "Wen Qingyuan, you..."
Without waiting for Xiao Liangliang to speak, Sun slapped him directly, "A slut who is not even as good as a maid, dares to call me by my name, are you worthy?"
Xiao Liangliang was weak in character, and she was holding a child, so she couldn't beat Sun, nor could she scold her, so she immediately ran away with the child.
Sun returned to the mansion, "Yuan'er, mother is heartbroken."
Wen Qingyuan:?
"Your father... he actually cheated on mother with a woman and had a child outside, mother can't live anymore."
Wen Qingyuan:?
No.
Mother misunderstood Xiao Liangliang and father...
Lord Wen came back from the palace, and he was very upset because he didn't see the emperor.
As soon as he entered the room, he heard Sun crying.
Even the old lady was startled.
The old lady sat at the head of the living room.
Sun was thrashing and rolling around, trying to kill herself.
Wen Qingyuan was confused.
Lord Wen, who came in, was even more confused. "What happened?"
Sun was crying.
The old lady cleared her throat and spoke, "Sun said that a woman came to the mansion with a child, saying that it was the child you had with someone else. Rebellious son!
It's simply a sin!
How did I warn you before? We must be clean in our conduct. Whether we are human or officials, we must be like this. How come you are so old, but you still gave birth to a child outside and did such a thing that will ruin your reputation in your later years!"
Lord Wen: "No, what are you talking about? What woman? What child?"
Sun was so angry that she almost vomited blood when she heard it, "You are still pretending to be confused. The woman even brought the child here. Old Wen, how have I let you down?
I just have a bad temper, but have you done anything to let me down?"
