She dressed as a concubine and was targeted by the powerful brother.

King Guangping thought about it and felt that this matter was not easy to handle.

He went to Fu Rudi to discuss, but Fu Rudi avoided suspicion and left the whole decision to him.

King Guangping thought about it for a long time, then touched his chin and said: "Rudi, you should go into the palace to report to the emperor and admit your guilt. After all, it was your father who committed the crime. He is also in the court, so it is impossible to stay out of it. I am here. It's easy to convict, but if someone reads your book because of this in the future, it won't be worth it."

Fu Rudi lowered his eyes and thought, and thought that what King Guangping said made sense.

In the officialdom, who knows how many enemies you will make? Not to mention the distance, doesn’t Zhou Hai, who is beside the emperor, dislike him?

"Then Prince, please make up a crime, and your subordinates will take it to the palace to face the saint."

"it is good."

After careful consideration, King Guangping gave Fu Zhenqing a punishment of "fifty sticks, dismissal from office, investigation, and three years' fine."

Fu Rudi came to the palace with the mentality of asking for forgiveness.

Emperor Jianming learned of the purpose of his visit, looked at the crime convicted by King Guangping, and sighed: "I heard about your father's case from Zhou Hai, and it has nothing to do with you."

"As the saying goes, if one family is guilty, nine families will be together. What's more, he is my father, and I am willing to be punished..."

Emperor Jianming waved his hand, "That's all, you are still a child for more than ten years, what do you know? You don't have to take it all on yourself." He sat on the dragon chair, looking a little tired, "The verdict of King Guangping was also fair." Okay. It is true that he does not need to be an official of the eighth-grade eunuch. As for the fine...the fine is not necessary. Your whole family has to spend money. How can you support yourself with just your salary? Furthermore, At Fu Zhenqing's age, a person over fifty would have to lie down for half a year, so the fine should be used as medical expenses."

The emperor had said so, so Fu Rudi naturally did not dare to refute.

This is already the best result.

Fu Zhenqing was responsible for all the work, and no one else was implicated. He just lost his hat and his head was still on his neck.

It was rare that Emperor Jianming understood the righteousness, so Fu Rudi resigned gratefully.

*

The news of Fu Zhenqing's dismissal came back to the Fu family, and Fu Changjian, Fu Yan and others almost fainted.

Fu Yan couldn't wait to find Mrs. Xie, only to find that Mrs. Xie had set up a banquet in the yard and was inviting several actors from the Chunxi Troupe to eat and drink.

"Mother!"

When did this happen! Does Mr. Xie still have the leisure time to get involved with these actors? !

Fu Yan stamped her feet, "I have something to tell you!"

"What are you doing in such a hurry? Is your father back?"

Xie sent someone to the Yamen to inquire and learned that Fu Zhenqing was temporarily locked up. She thought it would be nothing. After all, Fu Rudi was the second-in-command in the government office.

So before Fu Zhenqing came back, she was still calm. When she learned that Zhou Fangjun from Chunxi Class' birthday was approaching, she invited him to have a drink.

"no……"

Fu Yan looked at Zhou Fangjun and others. It was difficult for her to speak when outsiders were present.

Zhou Fangjun also sensed this and hurriedly called up his companions. He bowed his hands to Mr. Xie and said warmly, "Thank you so much, Madam, for your kindness in hosting a banquet today. This is the happiest birthday I have ever had. I will keep it in my heart."

"Boss Zhou's words are serious." Mrs. Xie's eyes were full of gentle smiles, "You come to my house as a guest, my family will be full of glory."

"Mrs. Xie's words make me feel embarrassed."

"What's the matter?"

Fu Yan's head was as big as a bucket when she heard it.

She hated this group of troupe members now, and her eyes were like knives gouging in front of them. Especially Zhou Fangjun, who stared at him again and again, wanting to eat him alive.

Zhou Fangjun sensed her impatience and hostility and wisely led the people away.

As soon as he left, Fu Yan scolded Ms. Xie: "Mother! Do you know that your father has been dismissed from his post?"

Xie was startled.

She frowned, "When did it happen?" "Yesterday, King Guangping was convicted. Today, the eldest brother went to the palace to find the emperor, and I don't know how to negotiate. Originally, he had to be fined for three years, but the emperor waived it. Now. My father lost his official position and is currently being tortured with a cane in the Yamen!" Fu Yan said this, looking at the leftovers in the yard and feeling filled with unknown anger.

She threw down the wine pot, bowls and chopsticks on the table, tears streaming down her eyes, and cried: "Now you are satisfied, your family no longer has the money to invite these actors to sing and have dinner!"

Such a big thing is like the sky is falling.

However, Mrs. Xie was calmer than Fu Yan imagined, as if the trouble was someone else's husband.

"Mother! You should think of something!"

Ms. Xie shook her head helplessly, "The trouble has already reached the imperial court. What can I, a woman, do? If you have power but no influence, and background but no background, your eldest brother will only be exempted from the fine for entering the palace."

Maybe the Fu family is really exhausted.

Fu Yan burst into tears.

She looked in the direction of Yurongyuan and vented all her anger on Fu Jiao, "The culprit is that stinky girl! She must make the house uneasy! Her mother has been dead for so many years and has turned into a skeleton. It’s all Fu Jiao’s fault! It’s all her fault!”

"Say less. Didn't Princess Zhaofu's two slaps on your face make you remember it?"

"Mother!"

Fu Yan couldn't bear it anymore.

She thought for a moment and blurted out: "The seven-color hibiscus from last time hasn't been used up. We can..."

"shut up!"

Xie was shocked.

She looked around in panic, then twisted Fu Yan's ears and entered the room, "Are you going to die? If someone hears it, this family will be completely destroyed!"

Not only was Fu Zhenqing finished, but she, the mistress, and Fu Yan, the legitimate daughter to be married, were all finished!

Fu Yan couldn't get rid of this thought.

She whispered: "Mother, if we succeeded once, we can still succeed a second time. You see, no one discovered the problem with Aunt Chen's madness, and Fu Jiao went mad, so there is no one to blame. Even Princess Zhaofu She wants to accuse her, but there is no evidence, so what can she use to accuse her? Why does she think it was us who made Fu Jiao go crazy? Besides, we don’t want her life."

Fu Yan swallowed nervously.

She pursed her lips toward Aunt Chen's yard, "Look, Aunt Chen has someone to take care of her now, so she's still alive and well."

Fu Yan has really had enough.

Ever since Fu Jiao came back after being kidnapped, the whole family has been in chaos due to her.

The root of all this lies in the cancer of Fu Jiao.

At this time, Fu Yan stubbornly believed that as long as Fu Jiao was eliminated, everything would go back to before.

Xie seemed to have listened.

She opened the gauze curtain, walked to the box that had been brought as a dowry, and took out a one-foot-square black wooden box from the bottom of the layers of clothes.

The wooden box lingers with a faint medicinal fragrance.

Fu Yan quickly came to Mr. Xie, opened the wooden box, and saw half a dried flower lying quietly on the red velvet background. Her eyes lit up, "It's all about it."

She was about to take out the seven-color hibiscus, but Xie closed the lid with a snap.

Fu Jiao was puzzled, "Mother?"

Xie's expression was complicated and he hesitated: "Don't be impatient, let me think about it again." (End of Chapter)
