Chapter 774 Find a way to eliminate hidden dangers
"Bai Kou, don't be too optimistic, we have a hidden problem now."

Gu Yun remembered his father's reminder before, and hurriedly said it.

"Huh? What's the problem?" Bai Kou put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, sat up straight and listened attentively.

"If Liang Zhongshan is diagnosed with a serious disease and the situation is critical, the Liang family will most likely go to Tong's house and beg Tong Mingli to forgive her husband. Anyway."

"It's strange. When wives among the common people encounter this kind of thing with their husbands, if they don't die, their wives will have nothing to say to their parents-in-law. If they die, the widow will remarry the day after the funeral. Filial piety is not kept for a hundred days. Liang Zhongshan violated public order and good customs, destroyed marriage and damaged the reputation of his family. He did all kinds of bad things, but in the end he had to pay the price with his innocent wife? Which clause in the household marriage law is written in black and white? Should he go to court? Argue?"

Bai Kou's voice was loud and confident.

Gu Yun lowered his head and caressed his forehead, Ning Peilan and Gong Changji laughed softly.

"Are you so fond of litigation?" Ning Peilan stretched out her fingers and scratched Bai Kou's cheek lightly.

"The court is the best place to discern the truth. Our lady cousin is already married, and she decides her own affairs. If Liang Zhongshan is diagnosed, whether she should return to Liang's house to serve is the only decision she can make. , she has the final say."

"Don't say that, if you really do this, the spittle of the common people will drown Tong Mingli." Ning Peilan said softly.

"The common people are a bunch of idiots who don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement. With the dowry in hand, we, Miss Tongbiao, are much better than those common people who get up early and wait until late for food and clothing. She doesn't deserve to be influenced by this kind of public opinion at all. "

"Okay, okay, what you said is reasonable, but have you ever thought about Tong Hanlin? If Tong Mingli insists on breaking up, what will happen to Tong Hanlin in front of his colleagues? Will their Tong clan members in the capital be punished by King Yu?" Retaliation by that faction? They will definitely force Tong Mingli to compromise."

"I'm most annoyed by this kind of overthinking, wanting benefits but not taking risks, sacrificing my sisters just to make them live a comfortable life. From this point of view, Liang Tong's marriage is really a good match, both sides are sluts .”

"Cough cough..."

Gu Yun suddenly cleared his throat twice, Bai Kou immediately shut up and lowered his head to eat.

"Gu Yun, what are you interrupting Bai Kou to do? It's very lively." Ning Peilan was a little unhappy, "I just love to hear Bai Kou talk like this, and listen to it to cheer you up."

Gong Changji immediately followed his wife's reaction and kicked Gu Yun under the table, ignoring Gu Yun's staring gaze.

"Actually, the difficulty of this matter is that the saint's attitude is ambiguous now. Things have become like this. If he continues to protect, then Miss Tong will have to go back to Liang's house. If he resolutely abandons Liang Zhongshan, Miss Tong The problem is no longer a problem.”

Bai Kou swallowed the food in her mouth, raised her head, shortened her mouth, and said another sentence.

"This is even more difficult. I heard that no one dares to bring up this matter in front of him. After the court yesterday, Liang Dashi and his son went to the imperial study to defend themselves, but they were stopped by the saint. They were only allowed to talk about state affairs and state affairs, not Let's talk about their private affairs." Gong Changji said to the screen.

"That's natural. Where is the imperial study room? Where can I spend my precious time listening to my servants talk about housework..."

Bai Kou answered naturally, then stopped abruptly after speaking halfway, with a dazed expression on her face.

"What did you think of? Are you in a daze?" Ning Peilan gently pushed Bai Kou's forehead, afraid of interrupting her train of thought.

Pushed by this, Bai Kou woke up with a jerk. Looking at Ning Peilan, she bared her front teeth with a smile.

"What are you laughing at? What funny thing do you think of? Tell us!"

Gu Yun and Gong Changji also quickly moved closer to the screen, not wanting to miss every word Bai Kou said.

"After the matter was made public in the morning yesterday, after this day and night, the guesses about whether the saint will protect him or not are roughly half-fifty?"

"Basically, the people on Concubine Zhao's side definitely want to protect her, but our side naturally wants Liang Zhongshan to leave as soon as possible. There is still a large group of weeds in the middle. If we get rid of them, the rest of the crowd will still be protected." Guaranteed that this guess is [-]% or [-]% likely to be true." Gong Changji said, as a son of the clan and a prince who established his own family, he has better news channels than Gu Yun.

"Well, assuming that there are still a group of centrists who stick to the middle line, we must try our best to win over some. If I, Bai Banxian, are not mistaken, the saint wants to give up Liang Zhongshan, but the emperor can't do things as he wants, so he Conclusive evidence is needed so that he can issue orders that cannot be overturned, he does not want Fu Yin to collect evidence and pick out the ones that are beneficial to Liang Zhongshan, and then match his bad marriage."

"Why? Are you so sure that the saint wants to give up Liang Zhongshan? Where did you know that?" The three of them were curious together.

"Because I'm a half-immortal, my mouth is broken."

"Come on~~~" Ning Peilan put a chopstick of glutinous rice with sweet-scented osmanthus and lotus root into Bai Kou's bowl, "Hey, after eating this sweet, it's too sweet, please tell me what you think."

Bai Kou took a big bite of honey lotus root, wiped off the honey juice on the corner of his mouth, and continued talking with a smile.

"The Queen and Concubine Zhao Xian have been fighting for decades. The eldest daughter and eldest son of Concubine Zhao Xian was pampered and raised by a sage. Do you have the impression that the sage has ever thought of changing the queen?"

Ning Peilan covered her mouth in surprise, Gu Yun and Gong Changji suddenly realized that Bai Kou gave them a new way of thinking.

"I think, in the heart of a saint, a wife is a wife, just like her husband, and her status in the family is indestructible. Liang Zhongshan committed suicide, stepped on the bottom line of a saint, and disappointed the saint. How could his old man continue to protect Liang Zhongshan? Young There are so many handsome and beautiful courtiers. Without Liang Zhongshan, there are others. Liang Zhongshan is not a unique and irreplaceable top talent. The great Confucianism, not as popular as the old Master Liang."

Bai Kou finished what she wanted to say in one breath, then lowered her head and ate honey lotus root.

"Well, Bai Kou's point of view is a fresh idea. Liang Zhongshan committed suicide, but even if it is to explain to civil and military officials and the common people, the saint can no longer protect him, otherwise those rules and regulations will become a joke? Ning Peilan nodded in approval.

Gu Yun and Gong Changji looked at each other and made faces. Among the four of them, only Ning Peilan didn't know that Liang Zhongshan's death was approaching. When the diagnosis result of the imperial hospital came out, the sage couldn't protect Liang Zhongshan even if he wanted to. Playing himself to death, if the saint is still protecting him, this will arouse the anger of the government and the public, and a group of officials will definitely come to write a letter.

So the real problem now is, once the diagnosis result is announced, Liang Zhongshan will be dead, will those irrelevant outsiders force Tong Mingli to return to the Liang family to be a widow for the rest of his life.

As Tong Mingli, who has taken great risks and made great achievements, helping her out of the sea of ​​suffering is due.
