My old husband who can read minds

Chapter 197 Eventful Autumn
After the morning court, Lu Chengdong followed Emperor Qianyuan into the Chengqian Hall holding the living record.

Most of the time, His Majesty handles government affairs in this hall. At present, there is no one else in the hall except Eunuch Chang Sheng.

"Your Majesty, Wei Qionghua has been trapped." Lu Chengdong bowed and said.

Emperor Qianyuan smiled coldly and said, "Let someone secretly reveal more information about Shen to her. If you put heavy bait into the water, you have to catch a big fish to be considered a loss."

"I understand, Your Majesty, I appreciate it." Lu Chengdong bowed his head and responded.

Emperor Qianyuan looked kind and said, "Then I'll trouble Lu Aiqing to stay in Prince Yu's mansion for a while longer."

Lu Chengdong kowtowed again and again: "To share your Majesty's worries, I will not hesitate even if I die."

"Hmm... Lu Aiqing is twenty-eight years old now. She has nothing but nothing at her knees. Have you ever thought about having an heir?"

Emperor Qianyuan asked seemingly unintentionally.

Lu Chengdong broke out in a cold sweat and replied hurriedly: "Wei Chen is obsessed with ruling the country and has no plans to do so for the time being."

Emperor Qianyuan made a pun and said: "It's so good. Dun Jing is not worthy of bearing children for you, Lu Qing. When this matter is over, I will find another good match for you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your consideration. I would like to express my gratitude."

Lu Chengdong secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, Wei Qionghua looked down upon him and did not want to give birth to an heir for him. Otherwise, it would have offended His Majesty.

It seems that His Majesty is planning to eradicate Prince Min's lineage. Unfortunately, Prince Min and his wife have been kept in the dark by Wei Qionghua, and they have never had any doubts about their beloved daughter.

If you indulge and become confused to this point, you will reap the consequences, and you deserve what you deserve.

"I have a headache and want to rest for a while. If I have nothing to report, Lu Qing can leave first."

"Yes, I will retire. Your Majesty, please take care of your dragon body."

Lu Chengdong carefully exited the hall, and couldn't help but shudder when the autumn wind blew.

He was shocked to realize that his back was already wet with sweat.

With his eyebrows lowered and his mind calmed, Lu Chengdong stood quietly outside the palace and continued his duties, with the honest look on his face that was familiar to the ministers.

Ten days passed peacefully like this. During this period, Wei Qionghua still sent people to find out the "industry" of Shen Yuan, but something big happened in the court.

Kang Lebo Xu Ce was jointly sued by several censors in the Palace of Qinzheng. In the book, the family slaves of Kang Lebo Mansion were bullied and occupied countless fertile fields of the people. They also allowed the female family members to distribute profit money to others, causing the people's families to be destroyed.

Since the late emperor came to power, he has explicitly prohibited private lending. Emperor Qianyuan also hated this, especially when many lives were lost in the Kanglebo Mansion.The king was furious and ordered a strict investigation.

All the witnesses and physical evidence were there. After the Dali Temple found out, the Ministry of Punishment re-examined. However, in just three to five days, the papers for impeaching the Kang Lebo Mansion were piled up on the desk of the imperial study. It can be said that it is too numerous to write down.

One of the crimes was particularly intolerable to Emperor Qianyuan.

The Kang Lebo Mansion went behind the back of the imperial court and secretly sold salt in Jiangnan and other places, earning more than 10 taels of silver every year. This was tantamount to snatching food from the emperor's mouth, and it was a very boring life.

Just by doing this, Kang Lebo's Mansion will fall into a situation of eternal disaster.

At this time, Kanglebo's Mansion had already been besieged by the Forbidden Army, and even flies could not get in or out.

Song Yunshu looked at her husband's anxious figure walking around the house, forced herself to calm down, and spoke slowly.

"Husband, for the present plan, we still need to leave a way out for the uncle's house."

Xu Jie looked at her with a sinister look on his face, "Where is the escape route? Didn't you, the Song family, choose to stand by and watch? With the Queen and Ning Concubine, didn't you also ask someone to come into the palace to ask for help before? What was the result? Even people's I haven’t even seen him face to face. Your Song family is so clean in leaving things alone.”

Song Yunshu said softly: "Whose family doesn't avoid our family now? Aren't my sister-in-law and several siblings' natal families also hiding away? Why do you, my husband, have to make trouble with my Song family alone?"

Xu Jie choked and became furious, "Since you know that my Xu family is now isolated and helpless, what do you mean by saying that?"

"Concubine Ning has someone spread the word. His Majesty is furious. There may be no room for change in the affairs of the Xu family. At the least, the family will be confiscated and exiled, and at the worst, the whole family will be questioned and executed. I am afraid that the holy decree will be issued in two days."

Song Yunshu's face was calm, as if she was talking about something insignificant.

"What?" Xu Jie staggered and almost fell to the ground.

"Husband, the matter has come to this. It is useless to be sad. It is better to think about the way out, otherwise it will be too late."

Xu Jie's lips were green and white, and he asked in a daze: "We are going to confiscate our homes and behead them. Is there any way out?"

Song Yunshu stroked her belly gently and smiled softly, "The Xu family is hopeless, but the child in my belly can still be saved."

Xu Jie suddenly turned around, stared at her belly and asked, "What did you say? Say it again."

"I said, I already have your flesh and blood in my belly, and he may be the only incense of the Xu family."

Song Yunshu looked back directly, the meaning in her eyes was very obvious.
