Chapter 57

Baozhu touched her chubby belly, and asked innocently, "Why?"

Under Bao Zhu's innocent eyes, Lu Zhan vaguely felt that he was like a big bad wolf who seduced the little white rabbit.

He forced himself to hide his guilty conscience, telling himself that he did this purely for the good of the orb.

"Because others may be kind to you because they have other plans." Lu Zhan's eyes were deep and passionate, "If you are treated well by others, you may have to sacrifice your own life's happiness."

Baozhu nodded ignorantly, and said simply and neatly: "I see!"

Lu Zhan was still a little worried, "What do you know?"

Baozhu hugged Lu Zhan's neck, "Brother Zhan is not someone else, so brother Zhan treats me well just like A Niang. He just wants to be nice to me and doesn't ask for anything in return, right?"

Being trusted so wholeheartedly by the girl made Lu Zhan feel a little unusual.

He liked this feeling very much, and felt ashamed of the lingering private thoughts in his heart, so his ears blushed quietly.

Lu Zhan nodded and said, "Yes, I will never have any selfishness in my kindness to you."

The boy's words of affirmation reassured Baozhu, she thought, she and A Niang should not end up like in the book again, right?

The happy time is always so short, and soon, Lu Zhan will go to the study to attend lectures.

Unlike the children from the palace, the concubine has a specially hired husband who only teaches Lu Zhan.

But before that, Lu Zhan sent Baozhu to Xie Chunxiao very considerately—mermaids were mixed in the palace, Baozhu used to speak for him, and after all, he offended some people, and he was afraid that these people would take advantage of this time to bully Baozhu .

At this time, Xie Chunxiao was talking about the mother and daughter of the old lady of the Zhen family with Wang Hao, Xie Chunxiao said: "This matter should not be delayed, I am afraid things will change if it is too late, and besides, it is not a thing to keep bothering Wang Hao here."

Concubine Jiangling said: "You're out of touch now, I don't have a single person to talk to in this house, but I wish you could stay longer."

Then he called the housekeeper, went to the government office, and told Master Luo to convict Zhen Fu earlier.

As for the case committed by Zhen Fu, there were all witnesses and material evidence. The reason why Mr. Luo did not characterize the case was entirely because of Xie Chunxiao's face.

As Mrs. Zhen said, Lord Luo is an official sent by the imperial court. Lord Luo's father was a general under Xie Hou's command. Lord Luo also received advice from Xie Hou. Before coming to Qingzhou, Xie Hou also asked He took care of Xie Chunxiao.

Master Luo thought, if this is an ordinary woman, since the perpetrator is his sister-in-law, in order to continue to get along with his mother-in-law in the future, he reckoned that he would take Joe, and in the end he would give face to her mother-in-law and her husband. That's it.

However, after receiving a message from the palace, Lord Luo knew that Xie Chunxiao was not an ordinary woman who would calm things down, so he quickly convicted Zhen Fu.

According to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Zhen Fu committed the crime of kidnapping and extorting. Considering that she didn't get what she wanted in the end, she was dealt with lightly. Lord Luo ordered Zhen Fu to parade in the streets for three days and imprison for one year.

When Mrs. Zhen heard this, she passed out immediately.

As soon as she woke up, she asked, "Where's Xie Chunxiao?"

The waiters on the left and right said: "The lady was driven out by you, and now she is in the palace."

Mrs. Zhen sneered and said: "She is kind, but she actually put me in the army and really convicted Fu'er. There is no other way, but I am not convinced. Prepare a sedan chair for me. I am going to visit old friends from the past. .”

Mrs. Zhen used to support the entire Zhen family and knew many people. Most of them were businessmen, but there were also some who had old relationships with officials.

Because the Zhen family's business is doing well now, Mrs. Zhen's visits have received hospitality from various families, but when they talk about Zhen Fu's affairs, they keep silent.

Mrs. Zhen came back disappointed, but she vomited blood as soon as she arrived at the door of Zhen's house.

But she didn't have time to recuperate, she hurriedly wiped her mouth, then turned around and got into the carriage again, this time Mrs. Zhen said: "Go to Jiangling Prince's Mansion."

"Madam, if it's dark today, should we wait until tomorrow?" The steward looked at the sky today, it was cloudy, and it seemed that it was going to rain.

Mrs. Zhen said: "Tomorrow Fu'er will be dragged into the street. That child is thin-skinned. I'm afraid she won't be able to bear it. I have to ask Mrs. Xie."

No matter how strong she is, when facing her daughter, she has to put down her old face and bend down to beg her daughter-in-law whom she now hates to the bone.

At the beginning of the Xu Dynasty, Mrs. Zhen came outside the palace and asked the steward of the palace to pass it on.

The housekeeper left in a hurry, and came back in a hurry, "Mrs. Zhen, our princess said that Mrs. Zhen has taken a rest. She is not feeling well recently, and finally fell asleep. The princess doesn't want anyone to disturb her."

There was a flash of hostility in Mrs. Zhen's cloudy eyes, but she had no choice but to suppress the hostility.

"I have something urgent to see her, can you ask the concubine to be accommodating?" Mrs. Zhen consciously kept her posture extremely low.

However, the steward said: "The princess said no." Then he turned and left, leaving Mrs. Zhen outside the palace.

Old Madam Zhen stared at the closed door with a stiff gaze.

"Old madam, let's go back. It will be the same when we come back tomorrow morning." Mammy looked at the stooped back of the old madam, and couldn't bear it. but left you outside."

Mrs. Zhen said: "What she wants to see is that I have been tortured outside. For Fu'er, I can bear all this. If I don't go back, I will wait here for a night, let her see my determination, and let everyone Look at what kind of daughter-in-law she is, to reject her mother-in-law."

After a while, the light rain started to fall, soaking Mrs. Zhen's hair and clothes.

The nanny persuaded Mrs. Zhen: "Ma'am is as hard as iron. No one has seen how much you have paid to persuade her to go back. Why are you doing this? Let's go back."

"I won't go back." Madam Zhen's stooped body gradually straightened up again, "Even if I collapsed here today, you are not allowed to pull me back."

Mammy had no choice but to go back to get an umbrella, but on the way, the rain became heavier and Mammy couldn't even go back.

Mrs. Zhen was drenched all night in such a rainy night.

As the sky gradually dawned, Mrs. Zhen couldn't hold on any longer and fell to her knees on the ground.

Seeing this, the housekeeper hurriedly went to report to the princess, who then told Xie Chunxiao.

Xie Chunxiao felt helpless, "My mother-in-law is willing to do anything for her daughter. She is ruthless, but I can't. Let someone send her back."

Just like that, the drowsy Mrs. Zhen was sent back to Zhen's residence.

When Mrs. Zhen woke up again, it was already two days later, she saw the familiar inner room, she couldn't hold back, and vomited blood all over the floor.
