Chapter 124 - 124. Choice
Wu Yuanwai made a decision: "Jingshu, other people's evaluation is insignificant to our family's safety. Zheng Yuansheng's involvement in the scientific examination fraud case is no small matter. For your brother's future, for the prosperity and wealth of our Wu family, our family must draw a clear line with him. Whoever wants to say anything can say it, and when you marry someone else in the future, the turmoil of discussion will be over."

Wu Jingshu's tears fell: "I don't want to give up Zheng Yuansheng. If he is in trouble, I will abandon him. He is too pitiful. Mom, please help me persuade my father and brother, and please help me and Zheng Yuansheng!"

Mrs. Wu grabbed her by the shoulder: "Girl, wake up, don't be overwhelmed by momentary thoughts, Zheng Yuansheng's involvement in the scientific examination fraud case is not a trivial matter. You must listen to your brother and your father, for the sake of our Wu family In the future, you will sever ties with her."

"mother!"

"That's the decision. It's about the glory of the Wu family's hundred and ten members. I can't let you take risks with them."

"I didn't risk them, I just want to follow my own will!" Wu Jingshu shouted, "I have run away from marriage once and abandoned Zheng Yuansheng once, I really abandoned him this time, then I really have nothing to do with him The future. This time, whether he is beheaded or exiled, I will be with him."

Wu Yuanwai patted the table: "You are so self-willed and naive, you don't know the seriousness of this matter. If he is exiled, your happiness for the rest of your life will be ruined. You may also be exiled with him as a slave to serve others , Let others beat and scold you, let others decide everything about you. Just like the servants in our family. The mistress treats him disliked, so she can sell him to a brothel."

Wu Jingshu lowered her head. She knew what her father said. A few months ago, a maid in the family, relying on her youth and beauty, seduced her brother frequently. When her mother found out, she immediately reprimanded the maid severely. The aphrodisiac, discovered by the housekeeper, angered the mother, and directly asked the maid in Zhanjiang to sell it to a brothel.If she becomes a slave with Zheng Yuan, other men will bully her unscrupulously if they are greedy for her beauty.When she imagined that kind of insult, she felt horrible and completely unacceptable. She couldn't help crying: "Why is my life so miserable? Is it so difficult to be a benevolent and righteous woman if I want to marry a good husband?"

Mrs. Wu took her into her arms and patted her, with helplessness and distress in her eyes.

Wu Yuanwai asked his son, "Xiang Rong, will Zheng Yuansheng's matter implicate you?"

Wu Xiangrong leaned on the chair with a dejected look on his face: "Probably not, Zheng Yuansheng once said in front of the guests that his marriage with my sister was not counted and should be canceled. After my sister came back, he didn't let go. Put aside the relationship between her and our family."

"Prefect Tong? Will he be affected?"

"Of course. He is originally a relative of the emperor in Guizhou. The emperor sent him to our province as the magistrate for the purpose of gilding him. He also knows this. In order to gain a better foothold in the court in the future, he has recruited talents. Jin's candidates are very close together, and cheating in scientific examinations is easy to happen, and I am afraid that he will be impeached for being involved in it?"

Member Wu was horrified: "He is your nobleman, if he is implicated, your official career will be affected in the future, right?"

Wu Xiangrong laughed at himself: "What are you talking about about official career? If the scientific examination fraud case is confirmed, all the officials in Jiangnan will be affected. It sounds like they will readjust the positions of officials, and it is very likely that all the officials in Jiangnan will be adjusted to remote areas so punishment."

"No way?"

"It's likely to be the case, and I'm just guessing now. Cheating in scientific examinations is related to the country's selection of talents. The emperor will pay special attention to it. Those who dare to cheat will only be killed and will not be lightly spared."

Minister Wu sighed.

Wu Jingshu didn't dare to say any more, if her brother's future was delayed, her family would suffer accordingly.She didn't dare to be willful anymore, and followed her mother back to the boudoir obediently.

Wu Xiangrong's face was tense, his sister had landed on the ground, but he didn't know what would happen to Tian Erya?That is a stubborn girl, even if he really likes Zheng Yuansheng, even if Zheng Yuansheng is exiled and beheaded, Tian Erya might not give up, right?He looked forward to seeing Tian Erya's choice.

Tian Erya was very anxious in her heart, hoping that Zheng Yuansheng would explain the reason to her in detail after returning from the provincial government, but in the end, she didn't get any news after waiting.

Two days later, Cui Cui dragged her into the room, and whispered: "Erya, I heard that Zheng Yuansheng, the fourth young master of the Zheng family, was sent to prison for cheating in the Juren examination."

Tian Erya didn't believe it: "Impossible. Zheng Yuansheng won't cheat. His talent is already extremely high, so there is no need to cheat."

"Everyone outside said that. Besides, Fourth Young Master Zheng never came home after attending the Luming Banquet in the provincial government. Everyone said he was thrown into the prison."

Tian Erya pondered for a while: "I'll go to Zheng's house and ask."

Cui Cui stopped: "Don't go, the Zheng family can tell this kind of news to you, an outsider."

Tian Erya refused to listen to the persuasion, broke free from her hand and ran to Zheng's house, but the door of Zheng's house was closed tightly, and no one responded.She ran to Long Shunhe again, and found that Zheng Yuanli, the second young master of the Zheng family, was not there, and only a young man was guarding the shop. She asked about Zheng Yuanli's whereabouts, but the young man avoided answering and only recommended iron tools to him. She could only run away. He came out, thought for a long time, then ran to Wu's house, and found that the door of Wu's house was closed, and refused to see visitors.He was completely dumbfounded this time.

In the evening, old man Tian was drinking a little wine, and began to comment on the gossip he heard: "Oh, you said this. What a match the fourth young master of the Zheng family, Zheng Yuansheng, and Miss Wu's family are! As a result, the fourth young master of the Zheng family cheated in the imperial examination. This person is really, if he doesn't pass the exam, he won't pass the exam, and he cheats! How hypocritical!"

Tian Erya looked at the food on the table in dismay, and murmured: "It is impossible for him to cheat. He is talented, and he will definitely be able to go to high school with his real skills."

"You girl, why are you talking for Master Zheng Si? Let me ask you, do you love Master Zheng Si? I advise you to break that heart as soon as possible. Fortunately, you are not with him, otherwise you will be killed by him." Pull in."

Tian Erya bit her lip tightly, she didn't care about being implicated, she only wanted to care about Zheng Yuansheng's condition.How is he now?Did he never return to Zheng's house, or was he detained outside?Unlike Wu Jingshu, who is her proper wife, she can't go to see him in a fair manner, and only hopes for his safety.

Seeing that Tian Erya was unhappy, Cuicui put a piece of tofu into her bowl: "Don't worry about Fourth Young Master Zheng, he is very good, his family must be thinking of a way for him, and he will be fine."

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Tie Zhu went to open the door, and it seemed that the man was carrying a big red bag, and asked suspiciously, "Who are you looking for?"
