No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 425 Pleading guilty?

Seeing that everyone in Luo Mingxiang's Xu family turned extremely ugly, even those who disliked Xu Zhaolin the most couldn't care less about gloating.

The Xu family originally put all their treasures on Xu Zhaolin, but now that Xu Zhaolin is abolished, it's fine, if he offends the Luo family again...

The consequences are simply unimaginable.

"Mingxiang, listen to me!" Xu Zhaolin hurried forward to grab Luo Mingxiang's hand.

Luo Mingxiang took a step back slightly, nodded and said, "Say what you say, I'll listen."

Xu Zhaolin twitched the corners of his mouth but was speechless. After a long while, he said, "Ming Xiang, I am sincere to you, you have to trust me."

Luo Mingxiang nodded and said, "Okay, I believe you. Let's go to the yamen and clarify the matter."

Xu Zhaolin's expression suddenly changed, and Mrs. Chun Anbo hurried forward and said, "Mingxiang, how can Zhaolin go to the yamen?"

Luo Mingxiang said: "I just went to the yamen to clarify the matter. I just heard from this lord that the official letter was signed by the lord of the Jingzhao yamen. We don't want to embarrass others. If we don't go to others, don't we think the Xu family is guilty? The Luo family is so powerful that they don’t even pay attention to the Jingzhao Yamen?"

"This……"

Luo Mingxiang stopped looking at them, turned around and walked out holding the girl's arm, "Let's go, I'll go too."

"Mother..." Xu Zhaolin looked at Mrs. Chun'anbo's mansion somewhat at a loss, and Mrs. Chun'anbo's face was also at a loss.She didn't know how such a good thing turned into this?

After the Chinese New Year, the biggest joy of Shangyong was probably the students from Linfeng Academy and Guozijian Academy making a fuss about the opening ceremony of Anlan Academy, but they were defeated and forced to write a letter of congratulations, which even caused embarrassment to the Minister of the Ministry of Officials in the street.

Who would have thought that within a few days of excitement, the second big event would come out again, and the limelight even overwhelmed the affairs of Anlan Academy in one fell swoop.

General Luo's son-in-law, Xu Zhaolin, the son-in-law of the Chun'anbo Mansion, one of the seven beauties of the imperial city, was sued by a brothel woman to the Jingzhao Yamen.It is said that Xu Zhaolin raised her as a concubine three years ago, and originally promised to marry her, but now that she is pregnant, Xu Zhaolin just repented, and even ordered her to be kicked out of the capital and secretly chased her down. she.

Fortunately, she was lucky enough to meet a kind-hearted person and was saved. She had no choice but to save her life, so she went to the Chengtian Mansion Yamen to beat the grievance drum.

As soon as the news came out, the whole imperial city was really very lively.Romantic romances between men and women are naturally much more interesting to ordinary people than to scholars in some academy.

However, after half a day's work, many versions and details have even been derived. Those people spoke clearly and clearly in private, as if they had eavesdropped under someone's bed.

Naturally, the help of some scholars is indispensable.

After all, the Xu family is the in-laws of the Luo family, and Luo Yun is Xie Yan's father-in-law. They are all one family.Because of what happened to Anlan Academy before, both Linfeng Academy and Guozijian are very shameless now, and Liao Wei, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, even has a gloomy face when he is in court.

Now that something happened to the son-in-law of the Luo family, no matter it is true or not, they must vigorously spread the word.Not only can you watch the Luo family's jokes, but also attract the mocking eyes of the common people, why not do it?
Not only was the spread among the people in full swing, but people were impeached the next morning in Shangchun's Anbo Mansion, which pushed the excitement to its peak.

Xie Yan didn't show favoritism, and directly ordered Jing Zhaoyin to investigate the case in detail, and he would not tolerate it.

Chun Anbo, who was not in court, heard the news and immediately passed out.

The Xu family is over!

"So, Xu Zhaolin and Mrs. Xu have been imprisoned?" In the side room of the tea house on the street, Su Rui raised her eyebrows and asked softly.

Luo Jun shook his head and said: "Yes, but I'm afraid he will come out soon."

Su Rui thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's right."

That Deng Yuniang is a prostitute, not a woman from a good family or a married man, even if Xu Zhaolin raises her outside, he will not break the law.As for the pursuit of Deng Yuniang, it was not Xu Zhaolin who did it, so Jing Zhaoyin couldn't keep him locked up forever, and I'm afraid he would be released after a few boards.

But Mrs. Chun Amber...

"Madam Chun'an really sent someone to hunt down Deng Yuniang?" Su Rui asked.

Luo Jun smiled, but did not answer.

Su Rui didn't ask any further questions, she shook her head and looked at Luo Mingxiang who was sitting beside her and asked, "Mingxiang, what are your plans?"

Luo Mingxiang said leisurely: "It's nothing, my mother has already sent Heli documents to the Xu family for me, but the Xu family has not responded yet."

"The Luo family can be regarded as the only life-saving straw for the Xu family. I'm afraid they won't agree to divorce so easily." Su Rui said.

Luo Mingxiang didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile: "They will agree."

Su Rui nodded and said, "If you need anything, just ask."

Luo Mingxiang said apologetically, "The wedding between you and elder brother is about to happen, but something like this happened to me. I'm really sorry."

Su Rui said: "What's there to be sorry about? Since this kind of thing happened, it's better to solve it as soon as possible. It wasn't your fault in the first place. Don't blame yourself for everything."

Luo Mingxiang said: "I know, I've already thought about it these few days, and there's nothing to be sad about."

Seeing that there was no depression in her brows, Su Rui was relieved.He held her hand and said, "You just need to think clearly, don't make yourself suffer because of other people's mistakes."

Luo Mingxiang nodded with a smile, his heart was peaceful.

Maybe she really wasn't that sad because she was married not long ago.

The moment I heard about this for the first time, I still felt as if the sky had collapsed, but after these few days, Luo Mingxiang felt that it was nothing more than that.After all, she had been with Xu Zhaolin and Xu's family for less than half a year, even if she was unlucky and chose the wrong person, she still had a way back.

She also has a mother, Yao Yao, a father, brother, and friends. So many people care about her and help her. Why do you have to feel sad and painful for such a person?
Luo Mingxiang caressed his abdomen, and said with a smile: "I made an agreement with Yaoyao, I will go to Anlan Academy to help me become a teacher when I give birth to a child. Mother can also help me take care of the child, so that she doesn't always say that she doesn't know when she can hold her." Grandson, let her grandson practice first."

These words came to Su Rui's head, Su Rui was about to reply when there was a light knock on the door, Linglan pushed the door open from the outside and said: "Princess, Miss, Mrs. Luo sent someone to say that there is someone from the Xu family. .”

Luo Jun raised his eyebrows, "Has the Xu family agreed to reconcile?"

Linglan shook her head and said, "The son of Uncle Chun'an was released, and he said he came to the Luo family to plead guilty."

Sure enough, it was such a clichéd plot.

Everyone looked at Luo Mingxiang, Luo Mingxiang stood up and said with a smile: "Let's go back and have a look, and settle this matter earlier, so as not to cause trouble for Big Brother and A Rui later."

A group of people walked out of the wing room, and the bustling noise in the teahouse instantly quieted down.

Luo Jun glanced at the obviously guilty expressions of many people upstairs, how could he not know what these people were talking about just now?
But since they did this, they didn't intend to gag others, so they didn't say much, they just took Luo Mingxiang's hand and went downstairs.

After the backs of the group of people disappeared at the stairs, it took a while for the noise to resume upstairs.

"Is that the Princess Regent and Miss Luo?"

"There's also Miss Su... Miss Luo doesn't seem to be wiping tears at home every day."

"With a backer like the Luo family, what can Miss Luo do to shed her tears every day?" Someone sneered, "Even if you leave the Xu family, wouldn't you be able to live with her?"

"You can't say that, after all, women should be more magnanimous."

"Damn it! Do you dare to tell the Luo family and the princess regent?"

"What's wrong with that?"

"Idiot! It doesn't make sense to you! Don't even think about it. The eldest daughter of the Luo family is a stepdaughter, and the other two sons of the Luo family and the princess regent are all born of the same mother. There is also His Royal Highness the prince regent. Now there is only one in the backyard. The regent princess is alone. Do you think the Luo family can tolerate a child crawling out of the belly of the outer room?"

"This... this is too arrogant."

"Can you control the family style like this? General Luo and the regent have no objections. The Xu family simply doesn't want to live."

At the gate of the Luo family, Xu Zhaolin's face was as pale as paper.He was still wearing the clothes he wore when he went from Xu's house to Jingzhao Yamen that day, and there were bloodstains on his back.

At this time, he was kneeling under the steps of the gate, completely ignoring the sideways glances of passers-by.

The quiet gate in the past seems to be extremely lively today, there are always people passing by inadvertently, and some people have even passed by three or four times.

"Senior..." The young servant looked at his eldest son with a worried face, and couldn't help but blame the young lady for being cruel.

The injury on Shizi's hand is still not healed, and he was beaten with a cane again, and now he still kneels at the gate of Luo's house regardless of face.The Luo family didn't even come out to take a look, and the guards guarding the door ignored them.

Xu Zhaolin shook his head and said hoarsely, "It's okay."

The servant said anxiously: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid the young madam is angry, let's go back first."

Xu Zhaolin smiled bitterly and said, "No, I must see Mingxiang and ask her to forgive me."

"But..." The boy gritted his teeth, and said, "Young man, go and ask someone to report!" The prince just knelt here and was watched by so many people coming and going, even this boy felt his face was burning. Panic.

The young man was about to talk to the guard at the door again, but he saw a carriage coming slowly from the street not far away, it was the carriage of the Prince Regent's Mansion.

The carriage stopped at the door, and Luo Junyao jumped off the carriage and turned to help Luo Mingxiang, "Big sister, be careful."

Hearing this, Xu Zhaolin was shocked, turned his head with some difficulty and saw Luo Mingxiang was being supported by Luo Junyao and was about to get off the carriage.

"Ming Xiang!" Xu Zhaolin hurriedly wanted to get up, but he was a little weak and had been kneeling for a long time, before he got up, he fell forward and fell to the ground.

Luo Jun raised his eyebrows and smiled and said, "Son of Uncle Chun'an, even if I am the regent princess, such a big gift is too heavy for me."

"..." Xu Zhaolin got up without ceremony, "Princess was joking, I...I'm here to plead guilty to Mingxiang."

Luo Junyao asked, "How do you plan to plead guilty?"

"..." Xu Zhaolin was speechless.

Luo Jun shook his head and said, "I think, how about breaking a pair of legs?" Not only Xu Zhaolin, but also people who pretended to be passing by were startled, and all cast terrified glances at the princess regent.

Since the second daughter of the Luo family became the regent princess, it seems that she has become more and more cruel.

Xu Zhaolin managed to force a smile, "Princess is joking."

Luo Jun shook his face, and said in a cold voice: "How did you know that I was joking? Could it be that the rule of Chun'anbo Mansion is to use your mouth to apologize?"

"I...Mingxiang..." Xu Zhaolin looked at Luo Mingxiang affectionately with his eyes, as if he had a deep affection for her.

Luo Mingxiang only felt disgusted, so he raised his hand and patted Luo Junyao's arm, Luo Mingxiang said: "Yaoyao, it's done."

Luo Junyao snorted lightly and then stopped talking.

Xu Zhaolin was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Mingxiang, I know I was wrong. I was young and ignorant, so I did such a wrong thing. I regretted it a long time ago, but I don't know how to tell you. I Don't ask you to forgive me now, just ask you to give me a chance, okay? Just treat it as it is, for the sake of our children?"

Luo Mingxiang shook his head and said: "The matter has come to this point, it's too late to say anything. Jiang and Li bookmarked, let's get together and break up."

"No!" Xu Zhaolin hurriedly said: "Ming Xiang, I only have you in my heart, I can't live without you!"

Luo Mingxiang said: "I'm not interested in who you have in mind, go back and tell Uncle Chun, if the Xu family refuses to take the initiative to sign and leave the book, I can only go to Jingzhao Yamen to beat the drums."

"What's more..." Luo Mingxiang sneered, and said: "You promised to marry that Jade Lady as the main wife, if you and I don't leave, how are you going to marry her?"

"No, I..." Xu Zhaolin's face changed, "It's all fake! My wife is only you!"

At this moment, Xu Zhaolin only had deep remorse in his heart. Who knew that some small mistakes when he was young and frivolous would lead him to such a situation now.

He did say that he wanted to marry Deng Yuniang, and that was when they were most in love with each other.

Occasionally, when he was drunk, he would inevitably say something out of proportion. He even wrote a letter to Deng Yuniang promising to marry her.But they all knew that it was just a joke. Deng Yuniang's status meant that she could not become his wife, and she knew that what she wanted was nothing more than a concubine's position.

Even so, she was severely rejected by her mother.

In any case, he never expected that Deng Yuniang, who had turned against her, would sue him for cheating her with this letter of commitment that had no effect at all.

Thinking of this, Xu Zhaolin's original friendship for Deng Yuniang disappeared.I only regret that I was blind at the beginning, and fell in love with such a ruthless woman!

Luo Mingxiang pulled Luo Junyao to the gate of the mansion, and said lightly, "Speaking of this, I just remembered, since you first promised to marry Deng Yuniang as your wife, and then the Luo family proposed marriage, it counts... this is a fraudulent marriage, right? ?”

This world is extremely tolerant to men, it is not illegal for a man to raise a wife, but fraudulent marriage cannot be escaped no matter what.

Xu Zhaolin was reeling from the blow, looked at Luo Mingxiang's back and gritted his teeth: "Mingxiang, are you really so cruel?"

Luo Mingxiang looked back at him, and said with a faint smile: "When you came to the Luo family to ask for marriage, why didn't you think about it, such a disgusting behavior, what would happen if something happened in the east window? Xu Shizi, the Xu family has not treated me badly during this time So I advise you, don't ruin the entire Xu family just because of you."

"I'm going to see He Lishu tomorrow, otherwise we'll see you at the Jingzhao Yamen."
