Rebirth: Hug Chu Guogong's Thigh Tightly

Chapter 40 Became the Head of the County
With the witness of the watchman, the truth of the matter became clear immediately.

The emperor was very angry at the fact that the He family not only drove away the orphans and widows, but also lied to his face. After all, this was a crime of deceiving the emperor.

Just about to pronounce the sentence, Mu Xueshan, who was kneeling on the ground, pleaded:

"I beg Your Majesty to forgive me. My wife's husband just passed away, and my wife went to court with his parents. This is a big disobedience. I don't want to implicate the He family for my own sake, and I hope Your Majesty will do it."

Seeing this, the emperor asked with concern: "Then do you intend to stay in the He family, or to set up another family?"

As soon as these words came out, Xia Keyu secretly sweated for Mu Xueshan, if Xueshan went back in a daze, it would be difficult for her to live in the He family in the future.

Seeing this, Mr. He on the side hastily cried bitterly and confessed:
"The old minister is confused. I hope His Majesty will give the old minister a chance to make amends. If the daughter-in-law plans to remarry in the future, the old minister is willing to take the only orphan left by the eldest son. After all, the flesh and blood of my He family must not be left outside."

When Xia Keyu heard this, he secretly spurned this Master He in his heart. Isn't this just forcing Mu Xueshan not to remarry for the rest of his life?Otherwise, the granddaughter will be taken back.

Sure enough, when Mu Xueshan heard this, she kowtowed to the emperor and said calmly:

"The minister's wife and the deceased husband are childhood sweethearts, and they are deeply affectionate. The deceased husband passes away, and the minister's wife will never remarry. I wish to stay away from disputes and raise my only daughter."

This is to stand on your own.

The emperor was also very moved when he heard this, and said: "In this case, I will give you a chastity memorial archway to commend you for keeping chastity for your husband."

Mu Xueshan accepted the order calmly and thanked her.

The people on the side were full of envy, this is a great honor.Only Xia Keyu felt a little bad.

Today's Mu Xueshan is only in her early twenties, and she really has a deep relationship with her deceased husband at the moment.But a woman's most beautiful youth is guarded by a lifeless archway.

She is a fox, and she can't understand human beings' chastity and non-marriage. She is afraid that Mu Xueshan will regret it in the future.

It's just that the emperor's words of gold and jade did not allow Xia Keyu to say anything.

The emperor then pronounced:
"The He family disregarded human relations, and even committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. Forgive the child who died in the family, and give him a lighter sentence. Return all the dowry to the daughter-in-law, and don't make things difficult. The official will be demoted to a higher level, and the salary will be fined for half a year. I am ordered to shut myself up and reflect on my mistakes."

Of course, Mu Xueshan's natal family has not been forgotten, and continued: "The Mu family doesn't care about family affection, and they will also be fined for half a year, and they are ordered to close their doors and think about their mistakes."

After the punishment that should be punished, the emperor relaxed a little, and said to Xia Keyu, "Xia Keyu accepts the order~"

Xia Keyu knelt down on the ground with a face full of surprise, she didn't expect to have her share.

The emperor opened his mouth and said: "Xia Keyu, the daughter of Xia's parents, has a high righteousness, and speaks out of righteousness. She is specially named the county head, and given the title of Yong'an. She enjoys a house in Beijing and thousands of households in the city."

He appreciated Xia Keyu's kindness very much, and this time even Duke Chu, who had never cared about world affairs, was alarmed, so he had to give Xia Keyu some sweetness.

When Xia Keyu heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "My lady thank you Long En~"

She knew that the emperor's daughter is a princess, the prince's daughter is a princess, and the county prince's daughter is a county master.The county head is probably equivalent to the official position of Cong Erpin.

In any case, she can be regarded as a person who eats from Shangguan's family.

Xia Keyu happily received the order, and walked out of the palace gate with Mu Xueshan on her arm.

Xia Keyu said to Mu Xueshan: "Xueshan, don't worry, when the time comes, I'll ask someone to help you get the dowry, and the He family won't dare to stop me."

Mu Xueshan nodded in relief and said, "Ke Yu, thanks to you this time, thank you so much."

Xia Keyu waved his hands and said heartily: "Whoever we are with whom, we still need to thank you."

Fan Yin and Qing Ya were anxiously waiting at the gate of the palace, when they saw the two coming out, they hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How is it?"

Xia Keyu raised his brows proudly, and announced the good news: "Everything is settled, cousin, I have become the county lord."

Fan Yin didn't expect his cousin to have a windfall, so he hurriedly said, "Congratulations, cousin~"

Several people boarded the return carriage.

Qing Ya carefully made tea for everyone and served them one by one.

Xia Keyu hurriedly took a cup of tea, moistened his throat, and said, "I'm thirsty."

Without waiting for everyone to ask other questions, Xia Keyu hurriedly told everything that happened in the Golden Luan Hall, until Mu Xueshan got a chastity archway bestowed by the emperor.

Fan Yin, who was sitting on the side, was holding a teacup in his hand. Hearing this, he lost his mind suddenly and almost turned the teacup upside down.

It was Qing Ya who reminded in a low voice: "Mr. Fan, your tea is about to spill."

Only then did Fan Yin come back to his senses, straightened his teacup, and said slowly: "Thank you for reminding me."

Xia Keyu didn't pay much attention to this scene, but continued to spit and talk about the punishment of the He family and the Mu family. At the end, he asked:
"Xueshan, where do you plan to live in the future?"

Mu Xueshan didn't have an idea yet, so she shook her head.But it's outrageous to live in Fan's house all the time.

Xia Keyu rolled his eyes, clapped his hands and said:
"By the way, His Majesty will give me a house this time. Then you can buy another house around my house. We will be neighbors, so we can take care of each other."

Mu Xueshan was also extremely satisfied with Xia Keyu's arrangement.

Several people sent Mu Xueshan back first, and then Xia Keyu rushed to Xia's house.

Right now the Xia family is in a mess, Xia Fengyuan felt restless when he thought that Xia Keyu was summoned into the palace by the emperor and might be implicated in the Xia family at any time.

Aunt Rong on the side did not miss such a good opportunity, and continued to add fuel to the flames:
"Master, you must not indulge her this time, you must strictly discipline her, and you must not take it lightly."

Xia Fengyuan thought about it for a while, he didn't care about Xia Keyu's safety at all, he only cared about whether his black hat could be kept.

If severely punishing Xia Keyu allows her to keep her official position, his subordinates will definitely show no mercy.

Aunt Rong heard the sound and continued to instigate: "If this continues, the eldest lady will bring disaster to the Xia family sooner or later."

"What disaster?" Xia Keyu's crisp voice came from outside.

Aunt Rong didn't expect Xia Keyu to come back safe and sound, her eyes widened for a moment.

Xia Keyu said with a smile: "Why isn't Auntie talking anymore?"

Seeing Xia Keyu like this, Xia Fengyuan at the side finally let go of the stone in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "How did His Majesty deal with it?"

Xia Keyu proudly said: "The He family and the Mu family have all been punished."

Xia Fengyuan blinked. Doesn't that mean that the Xia family offended the He family and the Mu family at one time, and was about to explode when Xia Keyu continued:
"Father, I have been named the county lord by His Majesty."

Xia Fengyuan was startled, and was about to say something when he mentioned that someone from outside came to report, someone from the palace came.

Xia Fengyuan was suddenly uneasy, not knowing what to do.
