After sorting out what his master-in-law said, Zhu Yuanyu thought through his thoughts and finally came to a conclusion - your circle is really chaotic.
According to what the master-in-law said, Mrs. Chen, the wife of the Minister of Justice, seemed to be a pitiful and hateful person.
More than thirty years ago, due to the birth of the princess, her biological mother had a difficult delivery. After her mother passed away, Chen hated her younger sister.
However, the father and brother of the family did not blame the innocent baby Princess, but instead loved and cared for her more and more, and Chen became even more jealous.
The princess was well educated and protected by her father and brother since she was a child. She had almost no exposure to any dark and dirty side. When she grew up, she got married smoothly and became the only princess who was loved by the wise king. The two of them The love once became a good story.
Compared with the concubines of the Minister of Justice, the wise king only had one concubine, and Chen was even more unbalanced.
But none of the above were the reasons that caused Chen's mind to twist and kill. Although she was full of negative emotions at that time, she was still a person whose hands were never stained with blood. All this happened until the birth of Xi Jinbo, which catalyzed her negative emotions.
After marrying into the Huang family, Mrs. Chen has only one daughter so far. Without a son, she lacks confidence and feels deeply uneasy. When she heard that her sister had given birth to a son, she hated her even more, so she began to fantasize about the tragic death of the princess in her mind. When the princess became pregnant with her second child, what she hoped most was that the princess would die in childbirth.
After hearing the report from the servants, the second child born to the princess was a boy. Ms. Chen went completely crazy. She felt that she could no longer let the princess live. She could not accept that the murderer of her mother could live so happily in this world. She Not worthy.
All the hatred can finally be revenged when meeting the master.
Mrs. Chen had someone tie up the only son of the princess's wet nurse, and threatened the nurse to secretly cast a curse on the princess. The curse she asked for from the nurse was the "half-moon sleep" that can make people die silently without finding out the cause of the disease.
It's just that the princess's life should not have been cut off. She was lucky enough to escape the disaster, and Zhu Yuanyu finally took action to save her.
Only Xian Wang, Xi Jinbo, brother and sister, and a few personal maids knew that the princess had recovered from her illness. King Xian had controlled it very well and did not spread the news outside the palace, so Mrs. Chen was still secretly happy that the princess would die soon, but She had no idea that the wise king had tracked her down, but because the princess just didn't want to worry about it, she decided to suppress it first and settle the accounts later.
The death of the kid Zhu Yuanyu met by the lake was also related to Chen.
The little ghost was born to a beloved concubine of the Minister of Punishment. Unfortunately, the concubine was not very lucky. He died of a sudden illness when the little ghost was five years old. I don't know if it was the Chen family who secretly did it.
The Minister of Punishment had several concubines, so after the kid's aunt died, no one took care of him. He was a dispensable existence. If his wet nurse hadn't protected him, he might have suffered the same fate when he was younger. Poisonous hands.
But in the end, she couldn't escape. Chen, who was already crazy, took action against him. She no longer had any psychological burden on her by killing an innocent child.
Mrs. Chen asked her henchmen to lure the kid to the lake, and then killed him and buried his body at the bottom of the lake.
It was only after the groom of the palace witnessed this scene that he was silenced by Mrs. Chen and then blamed the palace.
Mrs. Chen's sins are so serious that I don't know if she can sleep peacefully at night.
…
Zhu Yuanyu returned to Zhu Mansion and came to a remote courtyard. It was dark now and the night was quiet, with only the cicada's voice occasionally ringing out. There were no lights in the courtyard, but fortunately the moonlight was still bright. Li Zhuangzhuang stood guard at the door and cheered up when he saw Zhu Yuanyu coming back.
"Thank you for your hard work, go back and rest."
After giving Li Zhuangzhuang these instructions, Zhu Yuanyu stepped into the room.
Tang Hao leaned against the wall, with his eyes open and not knowing what he was thinking. He seemed to notice Zhu Yuanyu coming in, and raised his head, wilting.
At this point, he didn't have much hope anymore.
Zhu Yuanyu had also worked hard all day and was about to sleep. He came in and saw the frustrated Tang Hao. He couldn't think of how to deal with him for a moment. In addition, what the master-in-law revealed today needed to be discussed with his uncle and the others. His uncle would have a rest tomorrow. After thinking about it, he decided I'll go to the palace tomorrow and make a decision.
Then Tang Hao watched Zhu Yuanyu leave again.
what is this? Just came in to see if he was alive?
After using a small method to strengthen the door lock, Zhu Yuanyu left without hesitation.
The next day, Zhu Dafu happened to be free, so the family of three went to the palace together.
After greeting his grandparents, Zhu Yuanyu went to look for his uncle when he learned that he was in the study.
When passing the garden, I met Wang Shumian.
Wang Shumian, who had just been released from the ban, went out to the garden to relax. Unexpectedly, he encountered the culprit who caused him to be punished. His original good mood immediately disappeared, and the smile on his face became stiff.
"Cousin." Wang Shumian did not dare to offend him and greeted him politely.
Zhu Yuanyu said perfunctorily, "My cousin is in a good mood." Then he passed her and walked away.
Wang Shumian lowered her face, cursed secretly, angrily broke off a beautiful flower, threw it on the ground and stepped on it several times.
"Why are you so arrogant! He's just a businessman! A person of the highest rank! Hmph!"
The personal maid looked at her slightly uneasily, lowered her head and did not dare to say a word.
…
The door of the study room was ajar, and Wang Guangli's personal servant was guarding the door. He saw Zhu Yuanyu coming from a distance and quickly informed Wang Guangli.
Zhu Yuanyu walked into the study and saw his uncle studying ink. There was a piece of rice paper spread on the desk, pressed with a paperweight, and half of the words were written on the rice paper.
"Yuanyu, you're here." Wang Guangli put down his brush, walked to the Taishi chair next to him, sat down, picked up the tea bowl, lifted the lid of the tea bowl, brought it to his mouth and took a sip.
Zhu Yuanyu sat on the other side and sniffed, "What kind of tea did uncle drink? It smells weird..."
Wang Guangli smiled when he heard this and called out the door: "Come here, serve tea to the young master."
Then he put down the tea bowl and said, "It's nothing. I just got the new tea yesterday. If you want to drink it, bring some back later. I'll have someone prepare it for you."
Zhu Yuanyu bared his teeth and smiled, "Okay! It's better to obey orders than to be respectful. Thank you uncle!"
"Well - by the way, are you looking for me today? Do you have anything to do?"
Zhu Yuanyu nodded, and while there were no outsiders, he told his uncle about Chen, but he deliberately concealed the fact that Wang Jinyi fell into the water. The matter had been resolved, and he didn't want his uncle to suffer unnecessary worries anymore.
Wang Guangli was shocked after hearing this and said angrily: "It's actually like this! I didn't expect it... I didn't expect it..."
After pondering for a moment, Wang Guangli said: "This matter needs to be discussed in the long term... Yuan Yu, do you have any ideas?"
Zhu Yuanyu thought for a while, looked at Wang Guangli, and said slowly: "Uncle, I do have a way, it just depends on whether you want to do it or not." He also did not tell his uncle about the princess, so it was not easy to tell his uncle that he should be a good king to protect his shortcomings. Chen's temper will definitely be dealt with in the future, so they can stay out of the matter and watch what happens.
"We don't have any conclusive evidence that it's a woman's family after all. The master-in-law you mentioned is also dead, which can be regarded as eradicating the evil... As for the Chen family, let's just wait and see what happens..."
At this time, the waiter came in with tea, and the two of them tacitly agreed not to talk about the matter anymore and acquiesced to Wang Guangli's plan.
…
After leaving his uncle's study, Zhu Yuanyu went to find Wang Jinyi.
Wang Jinyi was at the martial arts training ground, and Zhu Yuanyu walked through several corridors before reaching it.
Taking Wang Jinyi, who was sweating profusely, he sat down in a place, and then Zhu Yuanyu handed him the decision about Tang Hao.
Wang Jinyi became sad and angry when he learned that Tang Hao, whom he usually played with, was the one who was secretly harming him.
"Why! Why did he do this!"
"How am I sorry for him!"
"No! I can't swallow this breath! I want to beat him! Beat him hard!"
