Chapter 114: She is both a good wife and a widow
The sudden voice in his ear made Yun Cheng turn his head in surprise.
The little girl sitting below Pei had a well-behaved face and was looking at him innocently.
If you look closely, you will find that her eyes are looking into the void, and it is obvious that her attention is focused somewhere else.
Lu Xinran was trying to figure out Yun Cheng's purpose for coming, and also wanted to look up some things from his memory that would make it impossible for the Rong Enbo Mansion to recover.
If you fail to kill the snake, you will be bitten by it.
If Zhao Jingtian knew that all the key evidence was provided by Yun Cheng, he would definitely cause trouble for them as soon as he was released.
Hearing that voice, Yun Cheng couldn't help but laugh.
There is no need to go through so much trouble. He is here today to make sure that the Zhao family father and son will never be able to turn things around.
"Madam, we are so sorry to come here because we, my father and I, cannot find anyone else to help us. We can only come here to ask for your mercy."
Pei raised her eyebrows slightly, motioned for the servant to look for a seat, and then asked, "Tell me in detail."
"Zhao Jingtian asked Tao to commit suicide in front of the Ministry of Rites, and also asked Tao to spread the news that he had written a letter to Du Liang. Among the three of them, at least he and Zhao Kaiyan would be saved."
Yun Cheng didn't sound too regretful when he spoke, "I also think that letting them die is too easy for them."
People like this should go to hell!
"Madam, if Zhao Jingtian and his sons are exiled, can you help coordinate and ask the escorting officials to treat them better and not let them die on the road?"
Before Pei could respond, Zhao was about to jump up.
"Even if they die ten times, they can't pay for my mother's life!"
"Yes."
Yun Cheng gritted his teeth and said, "So I can't let them off so easily. I want to make sure they live a miserable life in the future!"
The wealth of his Yun family is enough to find rare treasures, and use them to keep Zhao Jingtian alive.
Let him be like a rat in the tunnel, living in dirtiness and misery forever, with endless hard labor and endless whippings.
He wanted to avenge the Yun family a hundredfold or a thousandfold for the suffering they had endured over the years.
Let them truly experience what it means to be an ant, and spend the rest of their lives in fear.
In the main hall, hatred seemed to be tangible and rushing everywhere, allowing everyone to truly feel the torment that the Yun family had endured over the past few decades.
Lu Xinran has come back to her senses from the system. What she wanted to see has been said by Yun Cheng himself.
Pei only sighed softly: "It's just a piece of cake."
For her, it was much easier to arrange people to save the lives of the father and son than to take their lives.
Yun Cheng stood up and bowed deeply to Pei.
Since both father and son were outsiders, it was not appropriate for them to stay in Pei's room for long, so they said goodbye and left after saying this.
Zhao took the initiative to get up and send the few people out of the mansion, wanting to make up for some of her past regrets.
Du Liang took the letter to Wenhua Hall. The emperor quickly read the contents and angrily threw the letter directly at Tang Quyan's face.
"You did a good job!"
After imprisoning them, he could also release a few others from the Tao family. If this guy didn't do it on purpose, he would have the throne for him.
The moment the letter hit him, Tang Quyan raised his head and closed his eyes, not daring to read the contents.
His behavior made the emperor even angrier.
"Go outside the palace and reflect on what you did wrong."
Tang Quyan stood up and left Wenhua Hall. As soon as he left the hall, he found a shady place to wait for the results in the hall.
Two days later, Zhao Kaiyan was found to have cheated in the imperial examination, and he and his family were stripped of their official positions and exiled to Lingnan.
The letter from Zhao Jingtian really saved his and Zhao Kaiyan's lives. The mansion of Earl Rong En was confiscated and all the people in it were exiled to Lingnan.
But Zhao Kaile had done so many evil things that he was sentenced to be executed five days later.
After hearing the news, Lu Xinran thought about the five families that Zhao Jingtian had really won over in the past, and his mood became unusually complicated.
"Sister, I'm afraid the emperor will become a tyrant in the future. We have to make plans early."
He is not upright in his conduct and does not govern the country strictly. He relies entirely on his own thoughts to protect Du Liang and his family. How can this not be laying mines for the future?
Lu Xinlan had already heard the name of those days from her voice, and she raised her hand and rubbed Lu Xinran's head.
"Okay, let's make plans early. When grandma is 100 years old, we will find a way to leave Beijing and go to the south of the Yangtze River to find a small town."
"Grandma's hundred years..."
Lu Xinran was somewhat helpless with her preconditions: "Grandma is in good health, we can't wait to go to Jiangnan before getting married."
They were born at the beginning of the year and will be sixteen in a few months.
Even girls from wealthy families would marry late, and would still have to discuss marriage at the age of sixteen.
The thought of getting married gave her a headache.
This capital city is in such a mess. After so many scandals, the only good man I saw was Tang Quyan.
Surrounded by so many scumbags, she, who originally didn't have much idea about marriage, has successfully become afraid of marriage.
Listening to her thoughts, Lu Xinlan poured her a bowl of tea with a smile.
"Don't worry, even if we are discussing marriage, grandma will definitely find a good family for us. She will definitely not force us to marry someone we don't like."
With the system in place, if they really have to get married, they can find a suitable family.
Although, in her opinion, this was a bad idea.
But having a system always provides some security.
Lu Xinran also thought of this and immediately felt that it made sense.
If she really can't avoid it, she can do it, such as getting married for the sake of getting married, or being a widow.
As long as the groom is not alive!
Listening to her thoughts, Lu Xinlan always felt that, well, it would not be a bad idea for the sisters, Chongxi and Wangmeng, to each have one.
The date for Zhao Jingtian and Zhao Kaiyan to be escorted to Lingnan was set for half a month later, and before that was the date of Zhao Kaile's execution.
Lu Xinran originally didn't want to join in the fun. After all, she was a little scared to watch beheadings.
However, Lu Xinlan received another message from the palace.
She could only helplessly find a bunch of excuses to drag Lu Xinran out of the Lu Mansion.
Pei was also somewhat unsure of the emperor's thoughts. She wanted to ask Lu Jinchuan to test him, but she really didn't want to talk to him.
When they arrived, Zhao Kaile had already been pushed to the execution ground.
His body was covered with rotten vegetable leaves, and he had lost the spirit and arrogance of being the second master of the Rong Enbo Mansion.
Lu Xinran noticed at a glance that he was so scared that he wet his pants.
"It's really easy for him to just cut off his head."
People like this should enjoy the exile package with Zhao Jingtian, and then be tortured and abused to a pulp.
He has done so many evil things, and just one blow... he should let everyone be swung at once!
Lu Xinlan's mind was on the crowd around her. She always felt that after they appeared, people were gathering around them.
The execution ground is crowded and is the place where accidents are most likely to happen.
She looked around and found a figure in the crowd that looked familiar to her.
Is that... Prince Yu?
