Chapter 233
"Private interest?" Sheng Changhou chewed these words repeatedly, showing an expression of disbelief, "Why did he get such an unreliable charge? What does the palace say?"

He wasn't very worried. He was really taken aback just now, but he has completely calmed down now.

He felt that Sheng Xiuyi would not act like this, and that the trumped-up charges would not hurt him too much.He is the master of the emperor, and behind him there is a new emperor to support him.

He just wanted to know what the hell was going on.

The third master, Sheng Xiumu, was not as indifferent as his father. He said anxiously: "It was the Eunuch Shen who was next to His Majesty who told me that I knew that my elder brother was sent to prison by the Ministry of Criminal Justice. His Majesty is also in a hurry to hand over eldest brother to Dali Temple."

The master and young minister suspected that several senior assistant ministers and bachelors did not trust the new emperor very much.

As the new emperor's confidant, only his teacher Sheng Xiuyi.

Knowing that Sheng Xiuyi was captured by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, the new emperor was more worried than anyone else.He was afraid that this was a conspiracy. If those old ministers wanted to make the new emperor "obedient", they would first have to make him lose his powerful arms and could only rely on those old ministers.

It's not that the veterans have a different heart.They just thought that the new emperor was too young to take on the heavy responsibility of the world.Just like parents, they are worried about handing over their wealth to their young children.They need their children to be obedient and obey their parents' arrangements in everything. When they become adults, their parents will let them go and work hard on their own.

The new emperor had just ascended the throne, and those old officials were always afraid that he would be ignorant and change the government indiscriminately, making the people miserable.

The new emperor only trusted Sheng Xiuyi.

So they need to take down Sheng Xiuyi first.

"How many college students?" Sheng Changhou didn't expect His Majesty to inform Sheng Xiumu.

At this moment, Sheng Xiumu said that Eunuch Shen told him, and with the acumen of Sheng Changhou's decades of career as a politician, he immediately sniffed out the unusualness in it.

He handed Brother Cheng in his arms to the nurse beside him, and went to the small study in Yuanyang Pavilion with the third master.

He asked the third master: "Does your elder brother lend interest outside?"

Since it was a few university scholars who wanted to arrest Sheng Xiuyi, they naturally wouldn't make unwarranted charges.I'm afraid that interest lending is a real thing.When Sheng Changhou thought of this, he felt depressed for a while.

His son actually used such means to make money.

He thought that Sheng Xiuyi had been doing nothing.

In those years when his feelings made him hide his strength and bide his time, did he go to do these unscrupulous things?

The third master hurriedly shook his head: "I don't know." Then he thought about it, and added, "Brother didn't make many friends in the past. Later, after he became the prince's junior teacher, he started to have some contacts. When others talk about elder brother, everyone Thumbs up, saying that he is sophisticated and generous. I never told you, I thought he was using his sister-in-law's dowry..."

Hearing that people outside praised his eldest brother, the third master was also very proud.

He didn't know where his brother's money came from.Later, I accidentally heard that the sister-in-law not only had a generous dowry, but also had a lot of private money that was not accounted for at the beginning.

The third master secretly speculated that the elder sister-in-law gave the elder brother money and asked the elder brother to go out without restraint.

If these things are revealed, the eldest brother will be embarrassed, so the third master never asks.

He would not tell Sheng Changhou even more.The third master knows that Marquis Shengchang has a good face.If he knew that his son would use his daughter-in-law's dowry, Sheng Changhou would probably curse again.

If it weren't for this matter, the third master would never have imagined that his calm and taciturn elder brother would actually do such things as lending money at interest.

And being sent to prison by the Ministry of Criminal Justice shows that he has more than one life lawsuit.

"You said he was very generous when he was doing things outside?" Sheng Changhou asked.

The third master said yes.

Sheng Changhou didn't answer for a long while.

Seeing his father's silence, the third master felt his heart pounding, and after a while he carefully reminded: "Daddy, what should we do now?"

Sheng Changhou still did not speak.

After a while, he got up and said: "Don't tell the family about this for now. If your sister-in-law sends someone to inquire, just say that I asked your elder brother to go to Jinan Prefecture to buy some fertile land, and he will come back in a few days..."

The third master still wanted to ask, but his father's sharp gaze touched him, and he took it back when he got to his lips, so he had to answer.

When the key was about to be released in the inner courtyard, Dong Yuan heard about Sheng Xiuyi's going to Jinan Mansion.

She doesn't believe it.

She knew that Sheng Xiuyi had gone out for the sake of the second master.Either Shengchanghou and the third master were kept in the dark, or they kept it from her.

No matter what it was, something must have happened to Sheng Xiuyi.

She thought for a while, then got up and called Qiangwei, Xunfang and Biqiu, "I'm going to Yuanyang Pavilion."

Qiangwei and the others were slightly startled.

"Grandma, the key is about to be released. How about we go tomorrow?" Qiangwei persuaded, "Are you missing Brother Cheng?"

She knew that Dong Yuan was worried about Sheng Xiuyi, so she used Brother Cheng to divert Dong Yuan's attention.

Dong Yuan always remembered that Sheng Xiuyi said to go and see the second master.The second master got into trouble, Sheng Xiuyi went to deal with it, and then never came back, there is definitely a problem.She knew that her father-in-law wanted her to know the news from Yuanyang Pavilion.

Dong Yuan was very dissatisfied with this.

She didn't like how Sheng Changhou acted like this, treating women like canaries in a cage, he only needed to give women a superior environment, and didn't need women to understand the wind and rain of the outside world.

But couples shouldn't be like this.

At least the marriage between Dong Yuan and Sheng Xiuyi does not need to repeat the marriage pattern between Marquis Sheng Chang and Mrs. Sheng.

Even if she can't do anything, she still needs to know what happened to Sheng Xiuyi.

She got up and smiled at Qiangwei: "Go light some bright corner lamps, let's go to Yuanyang Pavilion."

Although the voice is soft, the tone is unquestionable.

Qiangwei still wanted to say something, touched Dong Yuan's eyes, she sighed slightly, had to swallow the words, said yes softly, and ordered the women to light the bright corner lamps.

Qiangwei and Xunfang supported Dongyuan, Biqiu and Yaotao followed behind, and two rough maids carried lanterns to guide them along the way, followed Dongyuan to Yuanyang Pavilion.

The inner courtyard had already been locked, and the women on the corner doors heard that it was the grandma, and hurriedly opened the door, and then secretly inquired behind the scenes what was going on, and went to Yuanyang Pavilion in the middle of the night.

When they arrived at Yuanyang Pavilion, Mrs. Sheng had already rested. Marquis Sheng Chang went outside and did not come back.

Mother Kang was going to report to Madam Sheng, but Dong Yuan held her back: "Madam finally fell asleep, don't wake her up. Master Hou is not in the mansion, did you say where?"

Dong Yuan also knew that at Mrs. Sheng's age, it was not easy to get a good night's sleep. Once she woke up, she might not be able to fall asleep in the middle of the night.

"It is said that the young master of Yongningbo Mansion is looking for him, probably it is a matter of Yongningbo Mansion..." Mother Kang told Dong Yuan, recalling what Sheng Changhou said to Mrs. Sheng before leaving.

Because of the empress dowager's affairs, Yong Ningbo was put in prison.

There is suspicion of poisoning in Yongningbo's mansion, but there is no real evidence.Those ministers of Dali Temple would never dare to say that they were going to test the Queen Mother.Therefore, the case of Yongning Bo Mansion has been dragged on and not closed.

Because Yong Ningbo's eldest granddaughter is the new emperor's imperial concubine, Yong Ningbo did not suffer many crimes in prison.

Marquis Sheng Chang went to work for Yong Ningbo and never came back all night. Mrs. Sheng was not worried.

But Dong Yuan understood that Sheng Changhou's going out this time was absolutely not for Yong Ningbo, but for Sheng Xiuyi.Her heart was in her throat.

If it wasn't a major event, would Sheng Changhou need to mediate for Sheng Xiuyi overnight?
"The son didn't come back, I heard he went to Jinan, I want to know when will he come back?" Dong Yuan smiled and explained to Kang's mother.

Kang's mother smiled and said, "Master Hou said he will be back in two days, so don't worry about it. The son of the family is always on the go, and he is very familiar with him."

Dong Yuan nodded slightly: "Mom, you should rest too, I'll be right back."

Kang's mother hurriedly helped her: "It's not easy to walk at night, mother will take you back."

Dong Yuan hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no! Look, I have brought so many people here, how dare I work on my mother? I can't bear to disturb her so late. Wouldn't it make me more uneasy if I asked my mother to send me?"

Mother Kang laughed and told Qiangwei: "Serve grandma well, and walk carefully."

Qiangwei hurriedly said yes.

As soon as Dong Yuan and his party left, Kang's mother asked the little maid to close the courtyard door, when she heard movement in the inner room.Mrs. Sheng was woken up by the stomping footsteps of the crowd, and called Mother Kang to ask, "It's so late, what's going on?"

Her voice was a little anxious.

Kang's mother smiled and comforted her: "Grandma came to ask about the son, don't get up..."

Mother Kang was also a little uneasy.Although the third master came in and said that the eldest son had gone to Jinan Mansion, from the expressions of Lord Hou and the third master, Kang's mother could feel that something was wrong.And now that the eldest grandma came running late at night with her body pregnant, Mother Kang was even more sure.

Her heart was also pounding, but she didn't dare to show it in front of Mrs. Sheng.

"You didn't send anyone to tell her about Brother Yi going to Jinan Mansion?" Mrs. Sheng asked back, with a bit of inquiry in her tone.

"I said it." Kang's mother laughed, "You still don't know Grandma and Shi Ziye? The two are still the same as when Grandma first entered the house, and they can't be separated all the time."

Mrs. Sheng was a little suspicious.

And Dong Yuan came out of Yuanyang Pavilion, watching the bright red lanterns at the gate of Yuanyang Pavilion cast a dense light, she stood there for a long time without moving her feet.

Qiangwei looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Grandma, the night wind is very cold, let's go back quickly?" Qiangwei whispered to Dong Yuan.

Dong Yuan thought for a while, looked in the direction of Second Master's Xiguiyuan, and nodded slowly after a while.

The next morning, Dong Yuan woke up early, instead of going to Mrs. Sheng's Yuanyang Pavilion, he said to Xunfang: "Go quietly and find out if Second Master is at Xiguiyuan or Aunt Xu's..."

She heard that the second master dotes on Aunt Xu very much recently.

Xunfang was slightly surprised, but she didn't ask Dong Yuan what was going on, she replied yes, and went to inquire about the second master.

"Early in the morning, why do you ask the second master?" Although Luo's mother knew that Dong Yuan was worried about Sheng Xiuyi, she didn't know her intentions, "If you want to ask about the son, why not ask the third master."

When she meant that, the second master and Shi Ziye were not close brothers, but the third master was the closest to Shi Ziye.Instead of asking the second master, it is better to ask the third master.
