Chapter 70
Mrs. Liu hurriedly opened her mouth to clarify the relationship, "Reporting to the lord, I don't dare... It was Mrs. Han who insisted that you couldn't make clothes for Miss Chen, and I was deceived for a while..."

Zhao Chengyuan didn't listen to her justification, and said casually, "This king makes some clothes for Miss Chen, and she will be beheaded. Liu Yushi has quite a lot of authority."

Mrs. Liu's face turned ashen, and she hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy, "I don't dare! My lord is a just official, and I definitely wouldn't act like this! My lord, there is nothing wrong with you making clothes for Miss Chen... It's my concubine who is confused. , this concubine deserves to die... I beg your lord to spare me..."

Zhao Chengyuan was unmoved, and said in a low voice, "Since you said that Mr. Liu is a fair official, there is no need for me to discuss your crimes. Ye Chang, go send a letter to Liu Yushi and ask him, what is the reason for this?" How to deal with it."

Ye Chang cupped his hands and walked out of the flower hall.

Mrs. Liu Yushi fell on the ground with a look of despair on her face.

According to the master's cruel heart, it is impossible to lose his own future to protect her, and she is afraid that she will be abandoned.

Everyone in the flower hall was also shocked.

The Prince Jin they had heard had a high status and was the most indifferent prince, how could he be so ruthless?

So clean and neat, there is no room for maneuver!

They were very fortunate at this time, because of their admiration for Miss Chen's heart, they didn't make trouble just now.Otherwise, their fate might not be much better.

While rejoicing, they couldn't help being curious. King Jin's attitude towards Miss Chen...

Zhao Chengyuan looked at Mrs. Han, "Old Mrs. Dingguo, this king is here, if you don't believe me, just ask."

Mrs. Han knelt on the ground in fear, and replied tremblingly, "I dare not..."

She never expected that those clothes were actually made by the King of Jin for Chen Youning. What did the King of Jin think, she is just a lowly peasant who just met by chance!
He is so disregarded to offend the courtiers, could it be that he is thinking of taking concubines?
Zhao Chengyuan's voice was piercing, "You have nothing to dare. If Miss Chen is sent to prison to die because of the few clothes I gave you, wouldn't it be my crime?"

Han Rui stumbled into the flower hall, with a big bruise on his forehead, he was very embarrassed.

He plopped and knelt in front of Zhao Chengyuan, "Forgive me, my lord! My mother really doesn't know about it!"

Zhao Chengyuan's expression was indifferent, "If you don't know anything, this king will bear an unjust name. Mr. Han, in your eyes, is this king the kind of talkative person?"

Naturally not.

The mother was just embarrassing Chen Youning. If he made embarrassment from this aspect, they could still refute one or two things.But he just didn't mention the embarrassment and framing, and directly convicted his mother of disrespecting the royal family. He clearly wanted to punish her to death.

Even the tyrannical prince did not do this!

Han Rui took a few steps forward, "Forgive me, my lord. This is my mother's fault. It's just that if my mother is punished, and my elder brother returns triumphantly in the future, I will be sad to know..."

Zhao Chengyuan paced unhurriedly, as if thinking.

"Duke Ding is currently fighting in the frontier, this king really shouldn't be too harsh on Lingtang, so as not to hurt Duke Ding's heart..."

Han Rui looked at him expectantly.

The elder brother has a high position and power, with [-] soldiers in his hands, not everyone can shake him.Rao is Jin Wang's status is precious, so he should always be a bit jealous.

Zhao Chengyuan paused, "Master Han is a filial son, so he will bear it on behalf of his mother, please resign."

Han Rui's expression changed.

Resign?

He has traveled a lot in recent days and spent a lot of money, seeing that he will be promoted to be a minister soon, but let him resign at this time!
In the eyes of the world, there is no Han Rui, only Dingguo Gong Han Jun. If he loses his official position and is just a white body, wouldn't he become the laughing stock of the capital?
"My lord, I'm almost old enough to be an official, so I'm afraid I can't do anything else if I resign at this time..."

Zhao Chengyuan raised his eyebrows, "This king has no relationship with you and no reason, you don't want to pay anything, why do you want this king to forgive you?"

Han Rui was speechless for a moment.

He looked to his mother for help.My mother is the best at talking, and she can always make a difference.

Mrs. Han avoided his gaze and kept her mouth shut.

Although she is reluctant to let go of her son's hard-earned future, if the king of Jin talks about her crimes, she may be stripped of her title of first-rank imperial wife, and things will cause a lot of trouble, and her reputation for decades of business may be destroyed. once.The lesser of two evils, abandoning his son is the best choice.

Han Rui felt pain in his heart. In the eyes of his mother, he was not as important as her reputation after all.

He knelt and cupped his hands and said, "I would like to resign myself."

Zhao Chengyuan smiled slightly, "Very good."

It was obviously a captivating smile, but it made people feel chills for no reason.

He glanced at Han Youning again, turned around and left the flower hall.

Mrs. Lu cheerfully followed her nephew out of the flower hall, and before leaving, she did not forget to hold Han Youning's hand and give him a few words of affection.

All in all, it expresses one meaning - if you need anything, you can find Anling Hou Mansion!

Old Madam Han gritted her teeth and went out to see Zhao Chengyuan and Old Madam Lu away.

She worked hard, but in the end, her son lost his official position and her granddaughter's reputation was damaged, but Chen Youning, whom she wanted to kill, was unscathed, and even became famous because of it!
Han Youning stood outside the flower hall, watching Zhao Chengyuan and the others go away.

This result was somewhat beyond her expectations.

She tried her best to calculate, but she was not as light as Zhao Chengyuan's flirtatious words.

I feel that I have been busy for several days without a sense of accomplishment.

The ladies gathered around one after another, and took her hand affectionately to inquire.After all, she was the only one who received special treatment from King Jin. This was the honor that all women in the boudoir dreamed of.

"Miss Chen, do you know Prince Jin very well?"

"Unfamiliar."

"Prince Jin treats you so well, do you want to accept a concubine?"

"No."

"You've been with Prince Jin on the boat for so long, do you know what kind of woman he likes? Fat and thin, well-behaved and lively?"

"I don't know."

……

After asking fruitlessly, the ladies looked at Han Youning's chubby figure, and they all fell into deep thought——

Could it be that King Jin... likes plump women?
Zhao Xianger also got into the carriage with Princess Chengjun.

She lifted the curtain and glanced at Zhao Chengyuan who was riding ahead on horseback, and couldn't help feeling chills in her heart.She hesitated again and again, but in the end she didn't dare to tell about Zhao Chengyuan's rescue of Chen Youning from falling into the water.

She muttered, "No wonder the father said that Uncle Seventh Emperor should not be messed with. Others just almost hurt his reputation, so he ended up so miserable."

Princess Chengjun said quietly, "Why is he doing it for his own fame?"

King Jin clearly came to support Chen Youning.But he didn't say a word of support.

Zhao Xianger's eyes lit up, and she asked, "Uncle Huang is for Chen Youning?"

Princess Chengjun patted her lightly, "I want to call my sister."

Zhao Xianger snorted, "No! She just ignores me..."

She paused, remembering that Chen Youning turned back to look for her later, and fell into the water because of it, and said, "It's kind of like a sister."

She opened the curtain again, and Lu Lin was beside Zhao Chengyuan, tilting her head, not knowing what to say.

Zhao Xianger pursed her lips and suddenly laughed.
