Chapter 290(1/2)

Han Jinyu wanted to apologize and seek reconciliation, but after listening to Xiao Jiashu's words, he realized that it was irreversible.

He sighed, "Do you have an answer to the question that day?"

"Of course there is." Xiao Han said calmly.

Then Feng Qingyun asked Butler Wang to see him off.

Butler Wang was sent by Concubine Xiao. Concubine Xiao would know if Han Jinyu came to find her without Xiao Han's words.

Xiao Han just felt that there was no need to continue talking to Han Jinyu, and even if he said a hundred and a thousand words, he would not change anything.

If the time point of her time travel was earlier and she could save her elder sister Xiao Ruolan, the result might be different.

Han Jinyu was inevitably complicated because of Xiao Jiashu's sarcasm, but Tang Xiong, the Marquis of Zhenwu, became much more straightforward. The discovery of Concubine Xiao's resentment towards the Chen family was enough to give him the confidence to enter the palace to see His Majesty.

Although Tang Xiong, the Marquis of Zhenwu, was a martial artist, he was actually very rough and meticulous, cunning, and even more noble and pedantic like ordinary literati, and was entangled in that little thing.

I didn't know who was the enemy before, but now I know it clearly. Since Concubine Xiao can kill the Chen family, I guess the Zhenwu Hou Mansion must have held a grudge because of that incident back then. Not to mention the right and wrong at the beginning, Tang Xiong also knew the principle of eliminating the roots. Since he had formed a life-and-death hatred, he was the enemy.

Han Jinyu did not have the confidence of Zhenwu Hou. From the marriage granting to the present, to the present, if it were all done by Concubine Xiao, then Concubine Xiao would definitely be a strong enemy that should not be underestimated. Zhenwu Hou just thought that he could defeat Concubine Xiao with those insignificant evidence, which was a great idea.

But he still entered the palace with Zhenwu Hou, at least he had to do his best to save his father-in-law and mother-in-law's life.

Sure enough, Zhenwu Hou overestimated his weight and even underestimated Concubine Xiao’s position in the emperor’s heart.

The emperor was indeed surprised to hear about Concubine Xiao’s life experience and his hatred with the Chen family. But he did not believe much of the evidence.

"The Dali Temple was clearly investigated. It was handled by Zhu, who accepted bribes and sued lawsuits. He praised his master as a fourth-rank official in Beijing and his in-laws as a high-ranking official, and he could not do anything. These words were heard by others with his own ears. Do you want to say that this was all done by Concubine Xiao?"

Although the emperor was a little soft-hearted on weekdays, he was still upright and strict when he was serious. Just reading the comments from Dali Temple, you can say the contents casually.

Zhenwuhou's old face turned red, and his boss looked down on this in-laws. He usually flattered him when he met, but it would be fine if he saw a high or a low point when he saw a high or a low point.

He had such shallow eyes and was even more embarrassed by money, which made him embarrassed. However, thinking of his good granddaughter, Zhenwu Hou still pleaded with shame and could not let his grandson-in-law's parents lose their lives.

This dynasty sentenced officials to sue lawsuits very seriously. The result of the Dali Temple ruling was that they would be exiled to Cangzhou after three months.

Any exile who fails to encounter a new emperor ascends the throne will basically not be able to return, so most of them die directly on the way.

The emperor was so upset that he looked at Han Jinyu who had not spoken, "What do Han Aiqing thinks?"

Han Jinyu bowed and said respectfully, "The country has its own laws, and I will let you rule everything."

The emperor felt much better when he heard this, but he still sent them out of the palace without responding to the request of the Marquis of Zhenwu.

———

As for Concubine Xiao, although Xiao Ruoqiao's appearance is excellent, she is not the most outstanding in the harem, but she has her own tricks to deal with the emperor.

Xiao Ruoqiao did not defend himself against the Chen family, and only Lihua said with rain, "After the elder sister's death, I and my younger brother lived a difficult life at my uncle's house. Can't I even have any resentment?"

He directly explained his resentment towards the Chen family, which made the emperor feel even more pity for her.

Not to mention that little evidence can't prove anything at all. Is it understandable that it is really done?

Furthermore, if Zhu hadn't greedily ignored the laws and regulations, her beloved concubine could have forced her to accept bribes and cover lawsuits with a knife.

At this point, the emperor had become disgusted with the Chen family.

First, in the past, he turned his marriage contract to cling to the powerful and his nobles, and his moral character was dirty and his beloved concubine was lonely. Now he is greedy and violates the national law, and his impression is extremely corrupt.

There was nothing left before because of Han Aiqing and Zhenwuhou's kindness to the Chen family, they thought the Chen family had implicated Han Aiqing's reputation.

Zhenwu Hou Mansion also received news that after the emperor went to Concubine Xiao's Yuheng Palace, he did not punish him and rewarded many rare treasures to show comfort.

Comfort? Zhenwu Hou Mansion was shocked. The Chen family was obviously suffering from it. His Majesty actually comforted Concubine Xiao.

Xiao Han, who was also studying peacefully in the mansion, suddenly received a reward from the palace, seemed much calmer.

If Xiao Ruoqiao didn't have this ability, how could he be the villain?

Tang Xiong, the Marquis of Zhenwu, realized that the trouble was no longer a question of whether the Chen family could be protected, and whether the Hou's Mansion would be taken into the water. He would not naively feel that after Concubine Xiao dealt with the Chen family, all the hatred would be eliminated.

As a woman, she is the smallest and most jealous.

The person who took away Concubine Xiao's sister's fiancé was her granddaughter, and he was the one who ordered Chen Hui to marry him. Concubine Xiao could let them go.

"Maybe I shouldn't have caught people to get married." The person who muttered was Hu, the eldest son of Zhenwu Hou.

Upon hearing this, Tang Xiong's beard trembled, "Isn't it just that he has not gotten married?" It was the same as the words of that day.

The gangster's domineering aura of warriors is fully revealed.

"What does a woman know?" When she reaches a high position, she has formed more enemies, so she can tell the difference between these or two small things.

Tang Xiong, the Zhenwuhou, didn't think he had done anything wrong at all. There were too many families who were under the list of sons-in-law in the capital, and it was not bad for his family. Some families already had wives at home, so why didn't they leave with their family obediently?

The only thing he didn't expect was that the Xiao family could have a concubine Xiao.

Tang Xiong couldn't help but complain that the Chen family had not even wiped the tail of this matter clean. If he had known it, he would not have left such troubles.

Hu was pulled back by her husband, and she didn't dare to resist the old marquis. However, when she heard that Concubine Xiao might hate the marquis's mansion, she felt a little scared. As the eldest daughter-in-law of the marquis' mansion, she had a lot of imperial decrees and had entered the palace, and she was more aware of the situation in the palace.

Concubine Xiao is a real favorite concubine. Even the treasures in the queen's harem are not as many as those in the Yuheng Palace. Although His Majesty and the Queen are young couples, the queen is weak and sick, and they are mostly respectful to each other.

If Concubine Xiao gave birth to a prince in the future, wouldn’t she be even more favored? How should the Marquis’ Mansion deal with it?

Although Zhenwuhou taught his daughter-in-law a lesson, he was not unaware of the seriousness of the matter.

———

As soon as Han Jinyu got home, Chen Miaoying came to meet him.

After hearing that her parents were captured and imprisoned by people from Dali Temple, she was always worried, even if she was full of confidence in her husband.

Chen Miaoying didn't know much, but only noticed clues from his husband's recent actions. Some of his mother Zhu's crimes may be caused by others.

Having come to this point, Han Jinyu did not hide it from her, "Miaoying, do you still remember the Xiao family."

"Xiao family? Which Xiao family?" Chen Miaoying looked confused.

Seeing his wife's expression, the complicated thoughts in Han Jinyu's heart emerged again. He had no right to blame Miaoying. Didn't he also forget the Xiao family if he had already forgotten it after hearing it?

If Concubine Xiao had not taken revenge, would he remember it?

He could use it as a reason for his unaware that he was a junior and had not married Chen Miaoying at that time, so he could not be considered a member of the Chen family. He, a Jinshi, could not stop the Zhenwu Hou Mansion from catching people and getting married, etc.

But Xiao Jiashu's words were so straightforward that he was a little embarrassed.

He responded to the request of his mother-in-law Zhu, and carefully taught his two brothers-in-law's future research. He was also very happy that Chen Hui could marry the granddaughter of Zhenwu Hou and was of great benefit to his career.

People in the world praised him as gentle as jade, as virtue as orchid, and as gentlemanly.

Perhaps he would really believe it after saying too much. He just forgot when he encountered the reality.

"Miaoying, aren't you very hypocritical about me, husband?" Han Jinyu said with a wry smile.

Chen Miaoying said in surprise, "Why do you think this way, husband?" Who doesn't envy her for marrying a good man?

"Your husband doesn't want it. You have lofty ambitions and talent all over the world knows. Why should you stick to some minor details and treat yourself harshly?" Chen Miaoying patiently persuaded, for fear that your husband will follow the noble literati and get into the horns. People are not sages, but even sages have hundreds of thousands of disciples. How can you be honest and flawless, and economic and practical are the great way.

Han Jinyu didn't say anything, so he couldn't deny it.

Chen Miaoying asked again, "Husband, what do you mean by the Xiao family?"

"Didn't my father-in-law have signed a marriage for Chen Hui in his early years?"

Chen Miaoying was so shocked that she couldn't help but cover her mouth, "It was the Xiao family."

"The Xiao girl who was engaged to Chen Hui died after... after remorse in the Chen family, she committed suicide due to rumors." Han Jinyu sighed. After all, it was a living life.

Chen Miaoying couldn't help but bit her lip slightly.

"Do you know this?" Han Jinyu was so keen that he noticed something wrong in Chen Miaoying's expression at a glance. He wanted to say something, but he shook his head.

"That's fine."

He sighed, "It's over here, what's the point of blaming me?"

"Mother told me." Chen Miaoying felt a little guilty. When she found out, she was also very shocked. She was also angry that her mother had not properly retired from the marriage, and even indulged in rumors, which harmed the life of a good girl.

But Zhu was also her mother no matter how much he said it was, and the daughter had to cover up her. She didn't tell her husband, because she was afraid that he would get tired of her mother. She was newly married at that time, so what if she took her anger on her?

Han Jinyu said calmly, "The current Concubine Xiao in the palace is the legitimate sister of the deceased girl in the Xiao family."

"She is afraid she will kill her father-in-law and mother-in-law."

"What should I do?"

Chen Miaoying did not say anything stupid to defend her family, but was full of concern for her parents in prison.

Han Jinyu didn't say anything and fell into deep thought.

Zhenwu Hou frequently entered the palace to plead for Chen Dao and Zhu.

On the one hand, he was a beloved concubine who really loved and cried poorly, and on the other hand, the emperor was in a difficult situation. He was distorted.

Well... the former is biased.

After all, the beautiful beauty who is as beautiful as a flower, is not comparable to an old man with a rough face in his sixties. The latter looks so heartbroken.

As for the pillow wind that Concubine Xiao blew before, he naturally ignored it.

Is it understandable?
