History of Empress Dowager Development

Chapter 218

Seeing He Jinyu again after more than a year, Lin Lang only felt sad for her.

When he was in the He Mansion, He Jinyu was the second young lady who was born on the same day. With Mrs. He's love, plus she was born like a flower and jade, she was raised pampered, she should be a bright and charming girl.Although she was silent a lot after she gave birth, that honor is still there.Marrying far away in the south of the Yangtze River, although the Qin family doesn't like her behavior, according to Mrs. Qin's temperament, she will definitely not shorten her expenses. Even if her actions may be restricted, she should still be a daughter-in-law who enjoys wealth and wealth.

But now?

It was dark and cold in the prison, and it was even more difficult in this midwinter season.He Jinyu was a prisoner brought in for participating in the Zhu family's treason case, and because he was not the principal offender, he was locked alone in a cramped cell with some straw spread on the floor and some leftovers on the small stone table. Rich clothes and good food, the situation is very different.However, she was wearing a shabby robe, and there was a good quilt on the stone platform, which was a rare experience compared to other prisoners. Someone should have taken care of her, but it was only mediocre.

She was escorted to Beijing as a prisoner all the way, so it would be nice to be able to guarantee food and drink, and it would be a luxury to have a special grooming and dressing.At this moment, the jewelry has been removed long ago, the hair is tied with plain silk, and she is buried in her knees, not sure if she is asleep or crying.

The jailer knocked on the iron railing, and He Jinyu raised his head in panic, a little dazed when he saw the two people outside the prison door.

The jailer didn't know her identity, but the king and concubine came in person, so this person must have a lot of background, so he didn't dare to shout, he just reminded in a low voice: "You can't be polite when you see the prince and concubine!"

"Princess?" He Jinyu's eyes fell on Lin Lang's face, she was already dazed.She sneered and didn't move, she just looked at Lin Lang in a daze, Xu Lang next to him asked the jailer to open the door, and an attendant came in and laid out a clean armchair futon for Lin Lang to sit down, while Xu Lang went to the side to rest, Let her sisters talk alone.

The sisters reunited, but had nothing to say.

Four eyes stared for a moment, one empty, one pitiful.

"Second Madam came to me before and wanted me to save you." Lin Lang spoke first, "Second Sister, do you have anything to say to me?"

"Do you want me to beg you, or come here to see my miserable situation?" He Jinyu snorted coldly, coughed twice, and unconsciously tightened the old robe on her body.From being a wealthy young lady to this point, this journey to Beijing as a prisoner, being shouted and controlled by others, has completely wiped out her pride and brilliance in the past, and there is no light in her empty eyes.

To be honest, Lin Lang did have some secret thoughts in the beginning. After all, He Jinyu's behavior in the previous life was very bad, and in this life, the consequences will be reaped, so it is reasonable to applaud her.However, He Jinyu's bleak appearance fell into his eyes, and no matter how much grievance Lin Lang had in her heart, she couldn't bring it up now. She only felt that under such a punishment, she deserved it, so she said, "I heard that you got involved with Zhu Chengyu." relationship, why bother?"

"It's me who is obsessed with ghosts. Now that I have fallen into this situation, you should be very happy!"

"Why are you happy?" Lin Lang sneered, "To be honest, I really hate you, but you are the daughter of the He family after all, and you have become a prisoner today. If you push me to the execution platform tomorrow, what will my grandfather think? There are the second wife and the second master, do you really not care about them at all?"

He Jinyu trembled, and raised his head, "Mum, are they... all right?"

"So you still remember them." Lin Lang sneered, "Today I'm not here to see your jokes, nor to reminisce about the old days. I just want to know what you did in Jiangnan."

He Jinyu stared at her blankly, and Lin Lang waited patiently.The two sisters had already had a knot in their hearts, and He Jinyu always held a grudge against Linlang in her heart. When she took refuge in Zhu's family, she thought that one day she would follow Zhu Chengyu to Beijing, and she would definitely call He Linlang to her to humiliate her.However, this wish came to nothing in the end, Shen Huan and Qin Ziyang's sudden betrayal completely shattered the dream, and now she can no longer return to the former rich and gentle, just a prisoner without resistance.

"If I tell you the truth, will you save me?"

"Second Sister's words are ridiculous." Lin Lang said unceremoniously, "I just want to know what you did in Jiangnan today. As for the charges, someone will judge. Whether you want to tell the truth is up to you."

There was silence in the prison for a while, and He Jinyu finally said, "I'll say it."

Although it is already extremely depressing, but in the face of this only possible life-saving straw, after all, the desire to survive is above all else.

When she left He Jinyu's prison, Lin Lang's expression was rather ugly.She originally thought that He Jinyu would restrain herself after marrying far away, but she didn't expect that she would hang out with Zhu Chengyu less than half a year after marrying into the Zhu family. After taking control of the situation, she still wishfully thought that Zhu Chengyu could succeed in rebelling against her, and that she could win Zhu Chengyu's heart by virtue of her beautiful appearance and gentle figure, and get rid of the embarrassing situation in the Qin family.

However, Qin Ziyang was furious after the incident was revealed, and now He Jinyu has been abandoned by the Qin family.Although Erfang's family had already moved out of He's residence, they were the granddaughter of Mrs. He after all. I'm afraid I have to ask He Wenhan what to do with this matter.

The side to the north is full of women's prisons. After passing He Jinyu and walking a little further in, Mrs. Zhu and Zhu Hanxiang are being imprisoned.They are relatives of traitors, so they are naturally guarded very tightly, and because they are not cared for, their situation is much worse than that of He Jinyu. Now they are wearing the shirts they wore when they were in the south of the Yangtze River, and they are shivering from the cold.

Lin Lang stood outside the prison gate and watched quietly. The mother and daughter curled up together, no longer the scene of a noble woman and a proud woman in the past.The matter of the Zhu family is coming to an end, and when the rest of the crime is cleared away, the mother and daughter and Zhu Chengyu should go to the execution ground to die.

All the suffering of the previous life can also be annihilated.

Lin Lang stood there, showing a triumphant smile, and then walked away, making the mother and daughter of the Zhu family inside puzzled.

The next door to the women's prison is for men. Lin Lang originally wanted to see Zhu Chengyu's situation again, but he would only be miserable under strict interrogation.

In the middle of the twelfth lunar month, Mrs. Zhu, Zhu Chengyu's brother and sister and a group of people involved in the incident were questioned and executed.Although He Jinyu also had an affair with Zhu Chengyu, He Wenhan couldn't bear it after all. Besides, she was insignificant in this case, so she eventually became a nun and went to the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha.
