Chapter 895 The Court Knows

Chapter 895 The Court Knows

Mrs. Gu didn't stop this practice of suing, because the second room deserved it, and if the memorial book entered the palace, the eldest brother and sister-in-law of the eldest room would probably also be called into the palace to be scolded.

But the left and right are just scolding, and it will be fine after the scolding is over. Mr. Gu inherits the title of Lord Ye, and the court always wants to treat him a little bit less.

While everyone in the room was talking, the servants outside told Gu Xu to come and take his mother home.

Gong Changji didn't even want to see Gu Xu, so he ordered his servants to take Gu Xu directly to the side room to bring his mother and the maid back together, so he didn't need to come to the room to greet each other, so as not to look at each other in a bad mood.

The servants went down in response, and soon a group of people in the courtyard outside the door helped Mrs. Gu and her servants out and put them on two small sedan chairs. Gu Xu took the family away after half a stick of incense. Also completely quiet down.

Gu Yun counted the time it would take for Gu Xu and the others to return home, and was about to go home with his mother, but another servant from outside came to report that Lord Ye came to make an apology.

The Palace Chief Ji hurriedly invited him, and Gu Yun'an, Duke of the Ye Kingdom, immediately walked into the hall. He had already changed into his homely clothes, and he did not come here in an official uniform.

"His Royal Highness Cheng!" Gu Yun'an bowed down with shame on his face, "I am ashamed!"

"You don't have to feel guilty, Duke Ye, this matter has nothing to do with you."

"But after all, it's the minister's family, and the minister dare not shirk responsibility."

"Honestly speaking, it's useless for you to come and apologize. It's Mrs. Gu who caused the trouble. It's only right for Gu Xu to come here."

"Just now when I came here, I saw that Gu Xu had already picked him up, did he apologize?"

"No, I just came to pick up his mother."

"what?!"

"When he came, people just told him to come pick him up, but didn't apologize, so my king didn't see him."

Ye Guogong Gu Yun'an's face became extremely ugly, he stroked his forehead with one hand, and raised his head to sigh.

"Gu Xu sometimes has a bit of a single mind." Gu Yun'an tried to explain Gu Xu's faux pas reasonably.

"Does he have a single brain and doesn't bother Duke Ye to worry about him? He has a father and mother. The real headache for this kind of thing is his father, Gu Yunkuan. Don't worry about him anymore."

"Yes, I understand." Gu Yun'an was both angry and helpless.

"Okay, it's getting late, let's all go back and rest, this matter will take a few more days."

"I'm waiting to retire."

Duke Ye had nothing to say, so he took his wife and children and went home.

When Mrs. Gu heard the news that the Changfang's family had returned, she immediately took her son there to comfort her. The second sister-in-law actually caused trouble in the county palace. People's palace is playing wild.

The second room is naturally in chaos at this time, both the mother and daughter are injured and are lying in bed, Bai Kou is really merciless to Mrs. Gu, she kicked a slight internal injury, the maid whose nose was broken was breathing and talking They are all unhealthy, and the nose may still be a little crooked after the injury is healed.Although the injury is worthy of sympathy, but Cheng Wang and his wife and the servants of the palace saw that she was holding Bai Kou's hand, which made Bai Kou slapped by the second lady, and she deserved this end.

The housekeeper issued a password-locking order, and all the servants of Duke Ye's mansion dared not discuss this matter, and at most closed the door to talk for a few words when no one was around in the middle of the night.

Mrs. Gu lay on the bed whimpering in pain, took a breath and cursed, Gan took the wine and prepared to serve her mother-in-law to take medicine. Mrs. Gu watched her turn the wine into powder and refused to drink it. She scolded her daughter-in-law for changing the medicine After poisoning her to death, Gu Xu was so troubled by his mother that he had no choice but to ask his wife to go back to the house to take care of the children instead of her waiting here, and was scolded by Mrs. Gu for marrying a wife and forgetting his mother.

Gu Chan, who was resting in bed, heard that her mother had been beaten by Bai Kou, so she struggled to come to see her. The mother and daughter cried in each other's arms, wailing and scolding Bai Kou at the same time.

"Xu'er, go and write a pleading paper. I want to confess to Bai Kou! I want to sue her for beating the relatives of officials! I want her to go to jail and ruin her reputation!"

"Mother, don't do this, right? As soon as the pleadings are handed over, everyone in the officialdom will know about this scandal. Mother should think twice!"

"You told me to swallow my anger?! Don't think about it! Never! Will you write or not? If you don't write, I will write it myself! Help me get up and get ready for pen and ink!"

"Okay, okay, I'll write, I'll write, I'll go back to my room and write, and I will send someone to the government office tomorrow morning. Mother, rest well, I will write the pleadings now." Gu Xu was so troubled by his mother that he had no choice but to order his servants to take good care of him. , I left first.

Naturally, no one dared to hide such a big matter from the old matriarch. Mrs. Gu and Gu Jingcai went to the long room to say a few words. Someone from Rong En Hall invited the elder and madam to come over, and Gu Yun and Gu Jing Jing went back to the Zhongming Courtyard to talk, and Mrs. Gu went back to the house to wait for the news. She scolded the second sister-in-law over and over again in her heart. No matter how good the relationship between Gong Changji and Gu Yun is, he is a county king and a child of the clan. People, I don't know if it will implicate my master. Now is the time when his term of office expires. If his future is missed, she will not let it go.

Gu Jing listened to the whole story from Gu Yun, knew that the second room might suffer, and was a little worried that the court would take the blame, and Gu Yun couldn't give any guarantees, so Gu Jing had to go back to discuss with his mother worried.

On the other side of Rong En Hall, the old matriarch retreated all the servants around him, and only talked to his son and daughter-in-law. When it came to the punishment of the second wife, the old matriarch insisted on waiting for the final result of the court before making a decision.

After dinner, Mrs. Gu sent someone to ask her son for a pleading paper. Gu Xu pushed and sent the person back after writing a draft. Then, less than half an hour later, Mrs. Gu sent someone to urge her again. Confessing to Bai Kou, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and write a pleading paper, and sent it to his mother.

Mrs. Gu also instructed her son to revise the description several times that she thought was dull. After watching her son re-copy it in her room, she took it away and sent someone to send it to the government office tomorrow morning.

Gu Xu was preoccupied with the complaint, and had long forgotten that his mother had not apologized to Cheng Wang and his wife for beating people and causing disturbances in Cheng Wang's residence.

In the early morning of the next day, the two memorials of the palace chief and his wife entered the palace, one will be sent to the imperial study, and the other will be sent to the queen. As a relative of an official, the queen can of course control the second lady Gu.

Second Madam Gu also sent her own old servant to accompany the room in the morning, counting the time when the Fu Yin will return to the Yamen, and handed the pleadings into the Yamen.

When the governor saw that it was the second wife of Lord Ye's mansion who sued Bai Kou for beating the relatives of the fifth-rank official and injuring the three masters and servants, his eyes almost popped out of his sockets. As soon as he accepted the pleading paper, he immediately sent a master to change into plain clothes. Tianshuifang inquired about the details, at the same time made a copy of the pleading paper and sealed it in an envelope, and sent his subordinates to send it to the palace to report first.

At the same time, the empress had finished reading her memorial, she was very surprised, and hurriedly went to the imperial study to ask the saint to make a decision.

The sage was having a headache for the mess caused by the disaster relief of the Dacheng Mansion. The court case was full of complaints and grievances. After reading the playbook transferred by the queen, the sage was also taken aback. It seems that I have seen the name of Gong Changji before, so I found it again, opened it and read it, and it was indeed the couple who filed the lawsuit together.

Just when he was full of displeasure, the urgent letter from the prefect arrived, and the sage read it. On the pleadings, Mrs. Gu complained endlessly about her grievances, but she didn't mention at all what was the reason for the dispute between their mother and daughter and Bai Kou. According to the pleadings, Bai Kou beat the relatives of the fifth-rank officials for no reason, and asked the government to severely punish the murderer and uphold justice.

The sage then replied that Fu Yin was not in a hurry to hear the case, he would first investigate the cause and effect in detail, and then sent someone to send Gu Yun and Gu Xu to meet the saint in the afternoon.
