Almighty Nongmen Phoenix

Chapter 71;
"Miss Lu, what are you doing?"

The eldest princess was also a little confused by Lu Yaoyao's sudden action.

Isn't that a good ending?

As the persecuted party, Shicai Hongwen Emperor had already directly pointed out that Xu Zhao was in vain as a father.

The scandalous things he did today, even if they spread, have Emperor Hongwen's evaluation, plus the fact that he was abandoned and raised in the village for ten years before.

It won't affect her too much.

"Tell me, what do you want me to decide for you?"

Regarding the girl in front of him, Emperor Hongwen's attitude was somewhat complicated and subtle.

"My daughter, tell Your Majesty a story."

The crowd was stunned again.

Don't you want to be the master?How did it become a story again?
However, the big guys were still aroused by her words.

"Fifteen years ago, there was a poor scholar in Jiangdong"

The story she told was really about how Xu Zhao entered the Lu family back then.

From the very beginning, everyone knew in their hearts who the protagonist of the story was.

"I am honored to meet Your Majesty and your lords today. You are well-informed. There is a question in the mind of a girl, and I haven't figured it out for ten years."

"I don't know if I can ask Your Majesty and all the adults to help solve the confusion?"

When he heard her talking about Jiangdong Lu's family, Emperor Hongwen's attention was attracted.

"Oh? Tell me, let me listen."

"As a son-in-law, after the death of my original wife, can I marry her again?"

Emperor Hongwen was taken aback, but he didn't understand it very well.

When he was thinking about how to answer, Prime Minister Right stood up and bowed to Emperor Hongwen first.

"There are no specific regulations in this dynasty, but the common understanding among the people is that a son-in-law is not allowed to marry another one."

"Of course, if you can get the master's consent, it's not impossible. After all, the law is nothing more than human feelings."

Everyone nodded heartily.

The status of the son-in-law is very low, and even at certain times, he is not as good as a woman.

As far as Lu Yaoyao said in this situation, the son-in-law is actually not much different from a widow.

Widows are not allowed to remarry, and there is no rule on this, but in some cases, when they meet kind-hearted people, they will let them go and let the widow remarry.

"Does the son-in-law have the right to raise the children?"

"No."

The right minister gave an affirmative answer.

"If the surrogate son-in-law remarries, it is equivalent to remarrying the widow. Naturally, the original spouse's children cannot be raised, especially if the original spouse has family members."

Hearing Prime Minister Right's words, everyone nodded repeatedly.

"what?"

"Since the son-in-law cannot raise the original spouse's children, why is Miss Lu in the Xu family?"

"And she is still the eldest daughter of the Xu family?"

As soon as the eldest princess said this, everyone looked at Lu Yaoyao in unison.

"Minnv just wants to ask His Majesty to make the decision."

"Oh? Could there be something hidden in it?"

Although Emperor Hongwen had heard about Xu Zhao being the son-in-law before, he didn't know the specifics.

The same is true of other people as well.

Among the people present, only two or three people really understood.

"This matter begins with the death of my mother ten years ago."

"On the day my mother was buried, Xu Zhao blatantly announced that she would leave the Lu family. According to the rules, civilian girls should be brought up by the Lu family."

"But Xu Zhao really is."

She paused slightly, and continued to speak; "Xu Zhao came from a poor family and has no roots."

"You should have heard about what kind of life he lived in the capital these years."

Everyone nodded again. Xu Zhao's life these years has not been bad at all, even better than some people with good foundations at certain times.

"At that time Xu Zhao announced that he would leave the Lu family, and he did not hesitate to ask the local county magistrate to put pressure on the family of the daughter's grandfather."

"Minnv's grandfather had no choice but to agree to his request to leave, but Xu Zhao not only didn't appreciate it, but went further and asked for Minnv's custody."

"After he succeeded, he threatened the lives of the girls and asked the Lu family to send a lot of money to the Xu family every year to support the girls."

Hearing this, the people present were in an uproar.

"It's too shameless, isn't it?"

"I asked someone for money, but I abandoned my own daughter and raised her on the farm for ten years, spending the money with my stepmother by myself."

"Xu Zhao is truly the most shameless person"

"I heard that Xu Zhao sends a lot of money and things to the Gao family every year. Could it be that the money is also from the Lu family?"

"Does it need to be said? Xu Zhao is a poor scholar who gave birth to a son-in-law, even though he has been sitting in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials for the past two years."

"But how much is the salary? It's not like we haven't seen how he spends so much."

"He must have robbed the money from the Lu family."

When Gao Xiang who had already stood up heard such a round, his old face was really flustered with embarrassment.

Looking at Lu Yaoyao's gaze was full of coldness.

"How can there be such a shameless person?"

"I suddenly feel that the punishment you gave to Xu Zhao just now, Your Majesty, is too light. He is a human being in vain."

Emperor Hongwen also nodded in agreement.

"Then what do you mean by letting me decide for you?"

"Just now, the right minister also said that the son-in-law is not qualified to raise a woman."

"However, Xu Zhao detained Minnv in the Xu family by means of coercion. Minnv hopes that His Majesty will give Minnv justice."

Hearing this, Emperor Hongwen nodded his head and said, "It should be so."

"From today onwards, you are a daughter of the Lu family, not a daughter of the Xu family."

"As for the money that Xu Zhao has robbed from the Lu family over the years."

Emperor Hongwen paused, then turned to look at Li De.

"Go with Ms. Lu, investigate clearly, check out Xu Zhao's current assets, and ask him to return them."

"If he refuses, or if he doesn't have enough money, he will be charged with taking other people's property directly."

Li De quickly bowed to answer.

"Minister, thank Your Majesty for upholding justice."

"Get up."

Emperor Hongwen smiled and waved his hand.

Then the Eldest Princess stood up. What happened today made it impossible for her to hold the birthday party.

I have to ask you to leave.

Lu Yaoyao followed Li Degang out of the eldest princess' mansion.

His Royal Highness King Jin and the eldest prince walked over with a smile.

"Congratulations, Miss Lu."

"Thank you."

Lu Yaoyao saluted one by one with a smile.

Because of her subsequent request, she has completely drawn a clear line with Xu Zhao today.

So the scandalous things Xu Zhao did today will not affect her, even if there is a little bit, it is completely acceptable.

Most importantly, while completely getting rid of the identity of the eldest daughter of the Xu family, it also drove Xu Zhao and the Gao family into the dust.

It is indeed something worthy of congratulations.

Afterwards, the two followed Lu Yaoyao and Li De to Xu's house in a lively manner.

Both Xu Zhao and Gao have been sent back.

Both of them lost half their lives, Xu Zhao was particularly miserable, not only suffered fifty more blows than Gao.

It was a double blow both mentally and physically that the official position and fame were still being smashed to the end.

He was unconscious all the way back to the mansion.

Li De came with the emperor's oral instructions.

How could it work in a coma, let someone directly wake up Xu Zhaochong from a coma with a bucket of cold water.
