Crowned with Pearls

   Chapter 175 One Hundred and Seventy Four Ending

Compared with the New Years in previous years, this year's New Year is particularly difficult for some people, even if the sound of firecrackers is still one after another, even if it is the Lantern Festival, it is still full of people, and the red lights are ten miles away. It came out that all the excitement had become something that had nothing to do with him.

   During the New Year's Eve in previous years, where did you expect that there would be today's desolation? Madam Zhongyong Hou was exhausted and was carried into the house by the Xu family's servant and another servant girl, and she had no strength to speak.

  Because she handed over the evidence that Cheng Dingan threatened Wen Shichang, these days she was often sent to Nanzhen Fusi for questioning. The pressure in it was really not something ordinary people could feel.

   Going in and out of those dark and terrifying places every day was a great pain for her.

   The more she got to this time, the more she regretted it.

   Living well, why do you have to be greedy to seek better things?

  If he didn't move his bad thoughts back then, and his son didn't listen to Cheng Dingan's words, he would start that way, and now things outside the outer room would be well concealed, and he wouldn't have completely torn his face with the Su family.

  These days, in addition to going to Jinyiwei, Mrs. Zhongyong Hou went to Yongding Uncle Mansion every day to ask for a meeting. She just hoped that Su Xingyi, who had always been soft-hearted, would change her mind--even if her son and husband came out, the business would be ruined.

   But if Su Xingyi is willing to come back, then no matter what, the family can still survive - Su Xingyi is the lifeblood of old lady Su, even in Su Xingyi's face, the Su family will not care about in-laws.

She didn't go away for a day, but Su Xingyi never saw her again. She didn't even cry and scold. The people in the Su family are very powerful, and the little girl who is currently in charge of the Su family is even more amazing at doing things. , Whenever she shows a little sign of making trouble, Su invites people to call Wen Zongbin and Wen Zonghua over and let them stand there.

   She is not afraid of her grandchildren, but Su Yao still holds the two children from the outer room in her hand.

   As a mother, she does not care about her grandson, but also her son. If Wen Zongbin and Wen Zonghua knew about the existence of those two children, they would have to deny the father.

After tossing and turning on the bed for a while, Mrs. Zhongyong Hou couldn't fall asleep. She opened the bed tent with dry lips. Seeing the Xu family's guard on the side, she rubbed her eyebrows and asked her, "Is there any news to send in? ?"

All the yamen have been reopened, especially since this case has not stopped. The whole first month Jinyiwei is busy with this matter, and the number of times she goes to Nanzhen Fusi is less and less. She knows that it is recently. .

The Xu family is also a lot thinner now, and the life of the master is not easy, not to mention their servants, her former domineering has disappeared, and she hastily shook her head when she heard Mrs. Zhongyong Hou's question: "Mrs. , no, don't worry."

   How can you not be in a hurry? Mrs. Zhongyong Hou had a pain in her chest. The moment she touched it, she felt the pain in her heart. She beat her chest and shook her head with the pain.

   But all these things that decide life and death are the most suspenseful. One day when things are uncertain, she can't feel at ease for one day.

   She managed to eat lunch, and urged the Xu family to let her husband go to each yamen to inquire.

  The Xu family didn't dare to refuse, so they hurriedly agreed.

But this time, he didn't come back for most of the day. Seeing that it was getting dark, Mrs. Zhongyong Hou only felt a sudden jump in the temple, and her head was almost split. She couldn't help but be very irritable. Whether or not to set the meal, Mrs. Zhongyong Hou reprimanded the girl angrily.

The whole room was served like walking on thin ice, for fear of being scolded again, the whole yard was silent for a while, and Madam Zhongyong Hou suddenly felt even more flustered. Into the mouth, the late Xu family finally entered the house.

   Mrs. Zhongyong Hou immediately put down the cup in her hand. When she saw her coming over, she immediately asked, "How is it? Is there any news?"

  Xu's family is like a mourning wife, with a face of gray and dejected, hesitating and hesitating again, until Madam Zhongyong Hou threw a cup, and then began to cry: "Ma'am! Our Lord is gone!"

Madam Zhongyong Hou just stood up when she heard the words and stumbled a bit. Her wide sleeves accidentally swept the cup onto the ground, and the debris splashed all over the place. She opened her mouth and asked dumbly, "What do you mean? What do you mean? Call it gone?"

  Who is gone?

   It was obvious that she had done her best, and she had already told Song Heng what she could say. Marquis Zhongyong was just planning to frame Su Xingyi and the Su family, and met Guo Chongxing for this purpose, but otherwise, Marquis Zhongyong did not participate at all.

   That’s all, no matter how you sin, you can’t die. Why are there no people now?

Seeing that she was swaying all over, the Xu family hurriedly wiped away her tears and took a few steps to hug her leg: "My condolences, Madam! The whole house is still waiting now. As for you, I heard that it is not only our master, but also the Marquis of Changping."

  Cheng Shouwang is also dead!

  Mrs. Zhongyong Hou shuddered at the thought of the involvement behind her, and shuddered violently.

   Cheng Shouwang died, which means that he admitted that he was the mastermind behind this incident.

   But was Cheng Shouwang himself confessing like this, or did someone kill someone to silence him?

   Mrs. Zhongyong Hou was still full of sadness, but after hearing the news, the rest was full of panic and fright.

   She was helped onto the bed, and subconsciously clenched the quilt, her teeth were biting a little bit, her eyes were staring straight at the drape, and it was only after a while that she began to cry.

   And with the death of two heavyweights, the Marquis of Zhongyong and Marquis Changping, the turmoil that happened on the 30th and the first day of the new year finally came to an end.

  Cheng Shouwang, Marquis of Changping, instructed the beastmaster to miss and anger the black bear, with a bad intention to win the title. The Cheng family's male over 16 years old was exiled to Lingnan, and the female family was not included in the Jiaofang Division.

  Wen Jinxian, Hou of Zhongyong and Yong, colluded with Cheng Shouwang to relax the defense of the leopard room. Later, he intended to frame the blame for murder and murder. The males over the age of sixteen were exiled to Liaodong, and the female relatives were pardoned as appropriate.

Most of the nobles of the Zhou Dynasty were awarded titles for their military exploits. From Taizu to the present, there are only twenty or thirty nobles who have titles. It was even more difficult to obtain titles during the Taiping period, and this time it was even more difficult. There were only two marquis missing, and everyone in the capital was alert for a while.

The Marquis of Zhongyong and Marquis of Changping were quickly confiscated, and a large number of rare treasures were found in the Marquis of Changping. Among them, there were even items stolen from the palace of the Emperor Taizu, which attracted Emperor Yuanfeng for a while. outraged.

   Here's an update. I took a day off yesterday, but there are readers who gave me a reward. I'm really grateful and embarrassed. Thank you very much.
