Abandoned Wife and Marry Only: Daughter of Houmen

Chapter 318

When Dahui established the dynasty, due to years of wars and a small population, the court has always given relatively lenient punishments to the family members of criminal officials. If the circumstances of the criminal minister's female family members are serious, their family members will be implicated.Generally, the sentences are much lighter than those of officials. They may be fined, or for the people, and the female family members will be exiled, or used as hard labor and official slaves, or even beheaded.

Like Sun Xixiang, Sun Xinci was not severely punished, she just changed from an official's daughter to a commoner.After all, Sun Xinci still has good looks, Ma Mingyuan is afraid that Ma Mingyuan still has new interest in her, before the Ma Household did not take her over the house, maybe because he was afraid of causing trouble, now the case of Shen Qing has gradually calmed down, and he took her over the house But also within reason.

Hui'an had already confessed that she would not take away anything from the Hou Mansion.The maidservant Sun Xinci used to serve by her side had already been sold by Hui'an. When she left, she couldn't take anything from the Qiulan Court with her, so she couldn't help but cry a lot, but now she has no one to rely on and cried. It was useless to make a fuss, so she could only get on the sedan chair with unwillingness.

Hui'an had already visited Mrs. Dingguo in the Guan Mansion, and Mrs. Dingguo only said that it was a good thing to serve the Queen Mother, and she asked Hui'an to learn from the Queen Mother and put her heart into everything.

Now that Sun Xinci also left the mansion, Hui An originally thought that she was busy with everything now, so she just waited to leave the capital, but before she left the capital, something happened again.

That day, she was holding the luggage list sorted out by Nanny Fang to see if there was anything missing, but Dong'er walked in quickly and said, "Girl, this servant saw someone on the street in a daze today, and felt that The figure is quite similar to Du Meike, but the man who was chased by the servants has disappeared."

Nanny Fang was taken aback when she heard the words, and said, "You must have misunderstood, then Du Meike is currently locked up in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, waiting to be executed. How could she be wandering around on the street?"

Dong'er still had a troubled expression on her face, and said after a while, "Maybe it's a mistake..."

Hui'an frowned, because Dong'er's eyesight was always very good, looking at her expression, she seemed to have really seen Du Meike.Although Hui An didn't speak at the time, she became more and more suspicious after thinking about it, so she called Shen Jing and Shen Ying, and asked them to try to find out if Du Meike was still in prison.

Unexpectedly, Hui'an received the news the next day that there was indeed a Du Meike in the prison, but it was another death row double, and the real Du Meke had already been transferred to leave the prison of the Ministry of Justice two days ago.But the one who rescued Du Meike was the steward Sun of Dushangshu's mansion!

After hearing this, Hui'an almost thought that she was in a dream, and it took him a while to find his mind.The last time Du Meike used Dongjiang people's hand to murder Hui'an, Hui'an knew that the butler grandson was extremely loyal to Du Meike, and now he actually bribed the prison guards to do such a decapitation. .

Hui'an didn't doubt at all that Du Shangshu or Mrs. Du ordered the steward Sun to do this, because the crime of secretly replacing the death row prisoner was too big, and Du Liao and Mrs. Du would not be so stupid.But even so, I am afraid that once this matter is uncovered, Du Liao will not be able to escape the guilt, so Guanshi Sun is a servant of his family no matter what!

When Mother Fang heard this, she also covered her mouth in surprise, and then she was tongue-tied for a while and said, "This... this is too bold."

Shen Jing said: "Actually, in the past two years, the Ministry of Criminal Affairs has also secretly replaced death row prisoners. As long as it is done in secret, there will be more secrets in the prison."

Mother Fang couldn't help but sighed for a while, and then said: "Girl, since we knew about this, we stabbed it out and caught Du Meike back. This time, not only Du Meke's life will be lost, but Du Liao can also eat it by the way." One pot!"

Hui'an heard the words but didn't speak, she always felt that this matter was strange, that is, Du Meike was really replaced by stealth, and there was no reason why Dong'er happened to meet her while walking on the street.It seems that someone planned this matter earlier to lure her into it!
There was no approval from the higher-ups for the secret replacement of death row prisoners in the large prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, but those small prison leaders were not so bold.And the Minister of the Ministry of Justice is the prince's man...

Thinking about this, Hui'an couldn't help but pursed her lips, but said, "Chen Ying, the two of you search for Du Meike's hiding place in private first. You don't need to do anything else, this matter is too involved, let's wait and see what happens. I I always feel that this matter is not simple, as if someone deliberately designed it to use our Hou Mansion as a spearman, let's see, maybe this matter can be stirred up without our involvement."

Putting this matter aside, Hui An continued to do what she should do every day, as if she was just waiting to follow the Queen Mother out of Beijing.Sure enough, three days later, Du Meike and Sun Yishun, the housekeeper of Du's house, were found by the government in Licheng. The two refused to be arrested, and were pierced by thousands of arrows to death!

The corpse was transported back to Beijing, which set off another heinous case in Dahui!
In the 11th year of Hongde, in February, Liucheng, located in the south of the Yangtze River, is already in spring, and it is uniquely beautiful.

The rain in the south of the Yangtze River is always pattering for several days and is not clean. A light rain has been lingering on the ground for more than ten days, and now it has finally stopped.

The sun shines in the alley in the morning, the blue bricks on the two walls of the alley are washed brightly, the bluestone road in the alley is shining brightly at a glance, there is a house at the end of the alley, the low wall is slanted from the yard A camellia came out, blue bricks and red flowers, green leaves hiding delicate, especially eye-catching.

An unremarkable carriage slowly drove into the alley, stopped in the alley, the door was pushed open, and a young daughter-in-law of eighteen or nineteen jumped out of it.

She looks pretty, with a cross bun, and two cloud orchid jade hairpins stuck in her black hair.Wearing a pair of emerald earrings on her ears, she is wearing a lotus-colored embroidered skirt with plain orchids, and an orange Ruyi knot around her waist.

This little daughter-in-law has a fair complexion, and a pair of green onions and ten fingers are as white and tender as if she has never done any work. At a glance, people feel that she must be a young mistress from some other family, but the little girl who doesn't accompany the grandma to serve her is Strange.

The little daughter-in-law got out of the carriage, looked at the house in front of the half-open door, then turned around, raised her hand, and rushed to the middle of the car with a smile.

"Miss, old man Liu appointed to go out to see a doctor again, so he reserved the door for the girl."

While speaking, a slender and slim girl bent over from the carriage.

A smoky willow-colored embroidered shoe covered with twining plums first came out of the carriage, and then the eight-piece lantern skirt embroidered with water-red and silver-red begonias swayed in the air, and the girl stood beside the carriage lightly.
