On the Day the Scumbag Got Married, I Lay Flat and Became His Sister-in-law Chapter 441

Chapter 441: Confiscating the house

Emperor Cheng De didn't want to listen to Concubine Xian anymore and ordered in a cold voice: “From today on, you will sit in the Ganquan Palace and think about your mistakes. When I find out the whole story of the embezzlement case five years ago, I will settle the score with you again!”

Concubine Xian struggled to get up: "I obey your order!"

 She walked slowly to the door, but couldn't help but turn around and asked: "Has your Majesty ever let go of Sister Yu one day in these years?"

 She has been with him for so many years, has he ever had a place for her in his heart?

"You are not worthy of mentioning Shu'er!" Emperor Chengde frowned in disgust.

Concubine Xian was not surprised to receive this answer: "It would be great if Your Majesty liked me a little bit."

 Otherwise, she would not be so keen on power. She just saw clearly that Emperor Cheng De had never let go of Yu Shu and never had her in his heart, so she placed all her hopes on A Xing.

Emperor Chengde did not look back at Concubine Xian, and of course he did not answer Concubine Xian's question.

Concubine Xian silently bowed to Emperor Chengde and then walked away with the support of Grandma Dai.

Early the next morning, Zhou Mu presented a memorial to the Suzhou corruption case. There were more than a hundred people involved in the case, and the most shocking thing was that the Zheng family was the mastermind of that case.

Although the case is still under trial, it was named by Zhou Mu in public when he went to court. This is only one step away from confirming that the Zheng family committed the crime.

 Zhou Mu's excerpt shocked the government and the public as soon as it came out.

Because there were many people involved in the case and the implication was wide, Emperor Chengde ordered the third division to try the case.

 It was full of wind and rain for a while.

Zhou Mu has been very busy since returning to Beijing. He stayed in the palace a lot of time and didn't even have time to go home.

 When I finished my busy work at the end of the week and finally had some free time, it was already the end of June and the weather was already hot.

The Suzhou embezzlement case also came to an end. The Zheng family was ransacked, the men were exiled for three thousand miles, the women were sold and slaves were sold, and the concubine Xian did her best to protect Zheng Wanqing and Zheng Wanrong sisters. They entered the palace as maids.

 After the Zheng sisters were brought into the palace, Concubine Xian talked a lot to them. The one she valued most was Zheng Wanqing, and Zheng Wanqing was left to say a lot in the end.

When Zheng Wanqing left Ganquan Palace, Zheng Wanrong immediately stepped forward and asked, "What did Aunt Xian and my sister say?"

Zheng Wanqing found it difficult to speak and just shook her head.

Aunt Xian Fei said that even if Zhou Mu becomes the emperor of the Jin Dynasty, the Zheng family will still have a chance to turn around. She was the last card the Zheng family had, and her aunt told her to seize the opportunity and win Zhou Mu's heart.

 This is the real reason why Aunt Xian Fei tried her best to protect her and her sister.

 Early the next morning, the news about Concubine Xian's posthumous title in Ganquan Palace spread throughout the palace and beyond.

 Zhou Xing, who was confined in Prince Qin's Mansion, was expressionless when he heard the news. From the first day after he returned to Beijing, he received an oral order and was banned from the Qin Palace.

 The next situation developed out of control. The Zheng family was questioned and no one else involved in the case was spared.

 The mother-in-law was temporarily confined to Ganquan Palace. He thought that the worst outcome would be to be relegated to the cold palace, but he did not expect that the mother-in-law would end up posthumous.

Zhao De burst into tears when he saw Zhou Xing lying on the bed without eating or drinking: "Your Highness must take care of yourself, otherwise the good concubine will not be able to rest peacefully under the Nine Springs."

"The mother-in-law has gone, the Zheng family has collapsed, and I am confined in the palace. Zhao De, do I still have a chance to stand up?" Zhou Xing looked at Zhao De with dull eyes.

Zhao De quickly wiped away his tears: "Of course there is a chance. As long as His Majesty's anger subsides and His Highness's grounding is lifted, His Highness can start all over again. We know His Highness's weaknesses, and there will always be opportunities to deal with His Highness in the future! The premise is that His Highness cannot take it lightly. If you don't give up, you must learn from your failures!”

He thought that the Concubine Xian was retreating after her posthumous title, and was paving a **** path for His Highness King Qin. However, he could not say these words to His Highness, for fear of stimulating His Highness's emotions.

When Emperor Chengde received the news that Concubine Xian had given her posthumous title, he was silent for a long time. Finally, he went to Ganquan Palace. Over the years, Concubine Xian has kept the harem in order. It is undeniable that Concubine Xian is a competent concubine.

Seeing Emperor Chengde coming, Grandma Dai presented the suicide note left by the concubine Xian.

“The Concubine Xian said she had no face to see Your Majesty again, so she only left this letter to Your Majesty for your Majesty's reading.”

 Emperor Cheng De received the suicide note.

Concubine Xian's suicide note explained all the details of the corruption case five years ago, with the purpose of proving that Zhou Xing was not involved in this case. Concubine Xian also admitted that the entire Rong family was killed by her, and Zhou Xing did not know about it. The assassin who assassinated Zhou Mu on the way was also sent by her, and she gave them all the names.

So this suicide note was to oust the King of Qin and was not a letter of repentance.

Emperor Chengde knew that people's hearts were unpredictable, but the fact that Concubine Xian was still planning her death really made him angry.

But he also knew that Zhou Xing was indeed not involved in the corruption case five years ago. As for Zhou Xing's trip to Suzhou this time, he thought Zhou Xing was not that innocent.

 After that, Emperor Chengde issued an oral edict depriving her of the title of virtuous concubine and demoting her to a commoner.

After Concubine Xian's posthumous title, the embezzlement case that shocked the whole country came to an end, and calm gradually returned to the court.

 That day Rong Yu came to Zhou Mansion again and wanted to see Jian Junyi.

Because Rong Yu voluntarily handed over the account books from that year and reached an agreement with Gu Xiyan on the way back to Beijing, she escaped unscathed.

And Jian Junyi became Zhou Mu's right-hand man. His only requirement was to live in Zhou's mansion. The purpose was simply to meet Hu Die frequently and cultivate their relationship.

Rongyu is obsessed with Jian Junyi.

Rong Yu was fond of Jian Junyi in the past, but later when she came to Beijing and saw Jian Junyi clinging to Zhou Mu, she understood even more that Jian Junyi had a bright future and would definitely become a big shot in the future.

If she can let Jian Junyi marry her and enter the Jian family, she will be able to make a comeback.

 It was just that Jian Junyi did not want to see her after entering Zhou's house. Later, the gatekeepers of Zhou's house blocked her from the door.

Hu Die happened to accompany Gu Xiyan to Bafang Hutong to meet Su Mei. When he came back, he saw Rong Yu guarding the Zhou Mansion, unwilling to leave.

Rong Yu felt like seeing a savior when she saw Hu Die. She hurriedly came to Hu Die and said: "Xiaodie, can you take me to see Brother Jian?!"

Hu Die subconsciously looked at Gu Xiyan, this was the Zhou Mansion, she was just a small guard, how could she have any say?

Gu Xiyan said nothing, waiting to see how Hu Die would handle it.

"I'm just a guard, so I can't be accommodating. Miss Rong should ask the princess what she wants, right?" When Hu Die said this, she felt very strange.

 Xi Yan is clearly the mistress of the Zhou Mansion, so why does Rong Yu ask her?

 This is weird.

Rong Yu seemed to have just seen Gu Xiyan. He bowed to her first and then asked if he could enter the Zhou Mansion.

Gu Xiyan said lukewarmly: "Miss Rong has not yet left the cabinet, so she should still pay attention to her reputation. Even if Miss Rong doesn't care about her own reputation, she should not ruin Mr. Jian's reputation."
