When the Lord of Jiaren County learned that Wang Jiulang did not go to the study but to Wanxiang Tower last night, he nodded to the woman who reported the news.
Her expression remained unchanged, but her nails had already dug into the palms of her hands, and she said expressionlessly: "Pass this matter to the Privy Envoy Wang. Don't let anyone notice that it was me who passed it on."
She didn't want to call Wang Qinruo her father, let alone confront Wang Jiulang about the matter.
She didn't like him, she hated him and looked down on him, he was not important to her, she didn't bother to ask him, she just wanted to find the person who could best control him to punish him.
Thinking of her current situation and the humiliation brought to her by Wang Jiulang's various actions, and thinking that when Xu Dalang left Bianjing, she could only hide in the carriage and watch, and could not say goodbye to him in person, her heart was desolate, and she actually shed a few tears.
She had always been strong and had never cried since she was ten years old, but now she was forced to this point.
Even though she has the status of county head, she cannot marry the person she likes.
She can't choose the person she likes, let alone her own life.
If the Wang family treated her like this, she would rather be unhappy than destroy the Wang family!
When Wang Qinruo found out what Wang Jiulang had done, he was furious and imprisoned him in the ancestral hall to kneel down.
Wang Jiulang believed that he was in the wrong and did not resist.
Wang Qinruo felt a little relieved in his heart when he saw that his son rarely obeyed.
But it was the bastard who was so angry when she heard that her brother was punished to kneel down that she couldn't sit still for a quarter of an hour. She hurriedly went to her mother's place with her skirt in hand, preparing to train Lord Jiaren County during dinner.
After learning about this marriage, the bastard waited a whole month in frustration, waiting for the Lord Jiaren County to marry into the Wang family, and then teach her a lesson, so that she would know what it means to be a mute who cannot tell the pain of eating Coptis chinensis.
Wang Jiuniang was unwilling to let go of every opportunity to teach Lord Jiaren a lesson.
During dinner, everyone in the Wang family was there except Wang Jiulang.
The bastard gave the Lord Jiaren a sideways glance, then turned to look at her mother, Mrs. Li, and asked with concern: "Mother, may I ask where Brother Nine has gone? Today is the second day of his wedding. Yili should come with us. Let’s have dinner together.”
"You don't have to worry about your Ninth Brother's affairs."
Mrs. Li straightened her chopsticks, glanced at County Master Jiaren, and winked at her daughter, signaling her not to ask.
On the night of their wedding, her son went to a brothel to spend the night. She really didn't want to mention such a shameful thing.
The bastard mother didn't know the truth and was in a hurry to trip up the boss of Jiaren County. She didn't even see Mrs. Li's eyes and said, "I heard from my servant that Brother Ninth went to the ancestral hall? Mother, why don't you go find Brother Ninth and come over?" .”
"Don't worry about him." Wang Qinruo said, looking extremely unhappy.
He is fifty-two years old this year. He has been childless when he was young. He did not have Kuro until he was thirty-four years old.
He has always loved his only son very much.
Now that Wang Jiulang had done such a ridiculous thing, although he was very angry, he couldn't bear to punish him.
The bastard was reluctant and asked again.
Mrs. Li had no choice but to pick her up, pull her behind the screen and give her a scolding. She told her in her ear that Wang Jiulang got into trouble yesterday, without asking any questions.
Seeing the mother and daughter talking behind the screen, the mayor of Jiaren County still had a faint smile on his face, with no look of doubt or anger, but the chopsticks in his hand were torn to pieces.
The head of Jiaren County could tell the bastard's thoughts at a glance. In the past, she would have slapped the bastard twice. Now, all he can do is pretend to be stupid.
The bastard was extremely aggrieved after being reprimanded by her mother. After dinner, she asked the wet nurse to help her inquire. As expected, she found out that Wang Jiulang stayed at Miss Xin'er's place last night.
She was so happy that she said while stroking her palms: "Brother Ninth is really amazing. He can actually make Miss Xin'er willing to bow his head and wait for her. I remember that when I asked Miss Xin'er to play a piece of music, I had to invite her a month in advance. Such an ice beauty I actually let Ninth Brother take it down!"
Wang Banniang felt that Wang Jiulang's failure to consummate the marriage with Jiaren County Lord on the wedding night was a disgrace to Jiaren County Lord, and she was so happy that she didn't know what to do.
After much thought, I couldn't suppress my inner joy, so I called my maid in and said, "Prepare a big box of pearls and send them to Miss Xin'er in Wanxiang Tower tomorrow."

After Xiao Yuan returned to Beijing this time, he assisted the Imperial Army in doing several things. The emperor saw that he was doing things steadily and was no longer the incompetent person he once was, so he appointed him as deputy chief and returned to Gaoyang Pass in early May.
The day before departure, Xu promised to accompany Xiao Yuan to the palace.
Xiao Yuan came to find Queen Liu and confront her about the death of King Zhou and his mother eleven years ago.
Xiao Yuan has been secretly investigating these two matters for many years.
Although it has been a long time and many of the parties involved have been silenced, he did not miss every detail. Following the clues, he finally understood the truth of the year in the past two years, but he still needed to confront one of the parties involved.
The only people who knew the truth about King Zhou's poisoning were the emperor and the queen.
Today is also the end of the secret relationship between Xiao Yuan and Queen Liu for many years.
After today, he will no longer be her knife or her eyes and ears.
"Liu Niang, wait for me here. If I haven't come back here after half an hour, you can go back and forget about me from now on." Xiao Yuan held the promised hand with an expression that he had never seen before. He was cautious and the strength in his hands was heavier than usual.
Xu Nuo hugged his waist, pressed her cheek against his chest, and said, "No matter what the outcome is, she won't kill you, and I won't forget you, so go ahead."
After speaking, he stood up straight and gave Xiao Yuan a push.
After looking deeply at Xu Nuo, Xiao Yuan turned and left.
Staring at Xiao Yuan's strong back, Xu Nuo took a deep breath. Although she comforted him, she was also very nervous and her breathing quickened.
He has been burdened with too much abuse and doubts. If he could find out what happened back then, he might be able to be freed and be his true self in front of the world, without having to wear the mask of a playboy.
Xiao Yuan entered the palace to meet Queen Liu.
Seeing his solemn expression, Queen Liu waved her hand and dismissed the maids serving in the palace.
"Silang, sit down." Queen Liu looked at Xiao Yuan with a smile on her face.
"Sage, I only have a few questions to ask you, so I won't sit down." Xiao Yuan cupped his hands and gave another salute.
Queen Liu stood up and said, "What do you want to ask?"
"My son wants to ask the sage two things this time. One is the truth about the poisoning of King Zhou, and the other is the reason why his mother Zhang hanged herself. I would like to trouble the sage to answer it for me."
After finishing speaking, Xiao Yuan knelt down and saluted.
Queen Liu smiled slightly, very calmly, and was not surprised by Xiao Yuan's question.
She walked up to Xiao Yuan and wanted to help him, but after seeing his broad shoulders and deeply bowed head, she seemed to sense his determination and retracted her hand.
"These four weeks..." Queen Liu asked. She knew Xiao Yuan's martial arts and asked him if anyone was eavesdropping.
"No one." Xiao Yuan replied.
"This child, King Zhou, has been smart and kind since he was a child, and is very popular with the emperor. His biological mother is Empress Guo, and the official family did intend to make him the prince at that time."
"I got acquainted with the official family when I was young, but I didn't enter the palace until the official family succeeded to the throne. Seven years later, I was named a fourth-grade beauty, and was promoted twice. At that time, in the harem, except for Queen Guo, the highest-ranking I."
Empress Liu took her time and told the whole story of what happened that year.
She met and fell in love with the emperor when she was fifteen, but did not enter the palace until she was almost thirty.
After entering the palace, she was always slandered and ostracized because of her ordinary background. However, the emperor loved her the most and always defended her, which made other people in the harem jealous.
In the first month of the first year of Jingde, she was named a fourth-grade beauty, and later a first-grade virtuous concubine. Such special favor made many people jealous.
In this year, the nine-year-old King Zhou died of poison, and half a month later another two-month-old prince also died.
For a time, everyone accused her of killing the prince because she was jealous of Queen Guo and wanted to replace her. The rumors became more and more popular.
The two princes died one after another, and the courtiers and harem were in chaos.
The emperor chose to believe her, and Queen Guo was furious and asked the emperor to let her die to apologize.
Soon, it was discovered that Concubine Shu ordered the murder of the two princes, thereby framing her.
The emperor was about to announce the matter, but she stopped him. She said, "Everyone just doubts me. If you announce to the world that Concubine Shu's sister has done such a vicious thing, wouldn't it mean that Guo Shengren has improper control?"
The emperor followed her advice and only told Queen Guo about the matter, leaving Concubine Shu to Queen Guo's disposal.
Xiao Yuan knelt motionless. What Queen Liu said was the same as what he had found. All kinds of evidence proved that King Zhou was killed by Concubine Shu.
In the second year after the death of King Zhou, Concubine Shu was blamed for other crimes and was executed by the nine tribes.
