Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 393 The Death of Lu Cairen (2)
When Su Wan knew the news, it was already half a month later.

In fact, it's no wonder that Su Wan is so slow-witted, she is only focused on reassuring the pregnancy, and no one would be so blank as to say that these trivial matters are waiting to disturb her.

Although the affairs of Marquis Changwu's mansion are not taboo in Mrs. Chu's mansion, try not to mention them as much as possible.

What's more, the wife is still pregnant, so no one would dare to bring up the matter of Marquis Changwu's marriage in front of Su Wan, just pretend that this matter does not exist.Otherwise, if the madam is provoked and something happens, none of them can afford it.

It was Su Wan's occasional whim, and when she was supported by the girl, she went to the yard to get some air, and heard two little girls talking about interesting things about Changwuhou's mansion, so she found out about it.

At that time, Han Lu, who was supporting Su Wan, turned pale in an instant, and lowered her head, not daring to look at Su Wan's face.

Although the madam and the emperor have a very good relationship, but she is not very sure, the madam must forget about it.

After all, no one can tell clearly about feelings.

However, Su Wan didn't have much reaction to this, because she already knew that His Majesty had granted them a marriage, and she agreed at that time, even if she heard it now, she wouldn't have any thoughts.

Her affection for Huo Yuan was not deep in the past, and it had faded away long ago.Not to mention, now that she has a lover, how can she care about the past?

Seeing Hanyu and Shancha frightened like this, I was immediately annoyed and amused, so I told them both, and told them not to be so cautious and secretive about this issue in the future.

Only then did Hanyu and Shancha feel relieved.

Su Wan asked again what happened to Changwuhou's mansion.

Now that Han Lu had no more scruples, she smiled and told Su Wan the whole story.

It turned out that after Su Qingxue married Marquis Changwu, she was honest and peaceful for the first two days. She was very respectful to Mrs. Wang Tai, and although she was not good to concubines, she did not beat or scold her frequently. Just ignore it.

However, after a few days, Su Qingxue revealed her true colors.

The first is the conflict with Aunt Wang, who made Aunt Wang refuse to return the housekeeping rights!He only respected her on the surface, but was dissatisfied in his heart. He treated her both positively and negatively, but Mrs. Wang protected her. She refused to let Su Qingxue be the housekeeper, and she favored Aunt Wang everywhere. Su Qingxue was so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven.

How could Su Qingxue bear this kind of anger?
He found a random excuse, and ordered Aunt Wang to be taken down, and ordered his mother-in-law to slap her more than a dozen times, hitting and pinching her.

If Mrs. Wang Tai hadn't arrived in time, Aunt Wang might have lost half of her life.

Madam Wang scolded Su Qingxue angrily, but Su Qingxue didn't take it seriously, she still went her own way, and would not stop unless she handed over the housekeeping power.

Not only that, those concubines were also punished by Su Qingxue in various ways, and punishing them by kneeling was commonplace.

Su Qingxue simply regarded these concubines as her maids, and even arranged for them to take turns to stay on duty at night. She slept on the bed, and the concubine's room was on the floor. She also served her to dress and eat, and beat and scolded her at every turn, causing the entire Hou Mansion to complain. In just half a month, Mrs. Wang was stunned several times.

But Mrs. Wang also became ruthless, she just refused to hand over the housekeeping power to Su Qingxue, the two are now in a stalemate, and there is no result yet.

The commotion in Changwuhou's Mansion was so great that most of the capital knew about it, and they talked about it very much. Many people secretly guessed who would compromise in the end.

As for Marquis Changwu, he ignored the matter of the back house and the rumors outside, and he was indifferent to anyone who came to him to complain.Only when they make a big fuss will they be deterred, and there is no tendency to see bias.

No one knew what was going on in his heart.

The corners of Su Wan's mouth curled up when she heard the words, but she felt a little bit of admiration for Su Qingxue. It was her ability to torment Mrs. Tai and Aunt Wang to such a degree.

I hope Mrs. Tai will like this noble daughter-in-law.

Now that Su Wan is bored, she also falls in love with gossip. She asks the girl to tell her fresh gossip every day, which can not only pass the time, but also make her feel happy physically and mentally. .

In April, the apricot list was released.

Those who are selected in the general examination will take part in the palace examination in the Palace of Preservation and Harmony on April 21. The emperor personally writes the questions and selects the first, second and third best.

But before the palace test, another major event happened.

Lu Cairen poisoned him in an attempt to assassinate and even control the emperor, but he was captured on the spot.All kinds of poisons and all kinds of evil drugs that can cause people to lose their minds were found from her residence, which further confirmed her crime.

At the same time, several ministers jointly signed Shangshu, participated in Wu Qingbo's mansion to form a party for private interests, and colluded with the rebels, intending to rebel and usurp the throne.

Emperor Xiande Longyan was furious, and immediately sent Dongchang and Jinyiwei to investigate. At the same time, he sent people to take all the people in Uncle Wuqing's mansion into custody. Uncle Wuqing's mansion was confiscated, and Uncle Wuqing was sent to the Zhenfu Division for torture. .

Three days later, it was finally confirmed that Uncle Wuqing's mansion had indeed colluded with the rebels in private, intending to rebel.In the backyard of Uncle Wu Qing's mansion, a large amount of gold and silver was unearthed. In a private house in the suburbs, countless armors and weapons were hidden. There were also intercepted communications with rebels. Cut, execute immediately.

In fact, as early as the Han Dynasty, there was a regulation of "execution in autumn and winter", and no execution after the beginning of spring.Because spring and summer are the seasons for the growth of all things, and autumn and winter are the seasons for extermination and hiding, all actions must conform to the will of heaven, and punishment and pardon cannot go against the will of heaven.But that's only for other death row inmates.Rebellion, treason, and slaves killing their masters are not among them.

After Emperor Xian De gave the order to kill everyone, Lu Cairen was also given a glass of poisoned wine, ending her young life.

A generation of stunning beauty, before she had time to bloom her beauty, just withered.

But before that, she was still planning ambitiously how to seduce the emperor and become a favorite concubine.

After Lu Cairen's death, both Empress Ning and Concubine Hu Gui in the palace were extremely flustered, wishing to break up with Lu Cairen immediately.What Lu Cairen respected suddenly became a hot potato.

Empress Ning made a prompt decision and disposed of all the things Lu Cairen gave her.

As long as she thinks that she has praised Lu Cairen in front of the emperor over and over again, and even persuaded him to favor Lu Cairen, her stomach will turn green with regret.

If she had known this earlier, even if she recommended Guo Meiren, she would definitely not recommend Lu Cairen to His Majesty.

Moreover, she has been so close to Lu Cairen recently, I don't know if His Majesty will anger her because of this.
