Chapter 246
He Mansion, study room.

"Grandfather! What are you hesitating about? It will be too late if you don't admit your mistake in front of His Majesty. This is the only way to save the He family!" He Tingrong looked at Mrs. He anxiously.

"Listen Rong, wait a minute, Grandpa Rong think about it, think about it." Taifu He supported his forehead weakly, his face was full of struggle.

"Grandfather, what are you thinking? Do you really want to protect your father? Do you really want to destroy the whole He family because of your father?"

"But, he is your father!"

"But I not only have a father, but also grandfather, grandmother, mother, brothers and sisters! Once this matter is pre-empted by the Chang family, we will have to wait for death!" He Tingrong said anxiously.

Mrs. He wiped his old face and felt that he was ten years older. This matter was too big. According to what He Tingrong said, the butcher's knife of the Chang family was already hanging high, and the day when the imperial examinations were announced was the time for bloodshed.

Do you want to make a confession to His Majesty?
Taifu He has been in the officialdom for decades, and he was at a loss for the first time. He looked down at his veteran, did he really want to send his son to the guillotine with his own hands?

Even if Tiger Poison does not eat children, how could he have the heart to send his son to die?
Seeing that her grandfather was still hesitant, He Tingrong tried harder to persuade her: "Grandfather, we can only have room for maneuver if we take the initiative to confess this matter to His Majesty. Grandfather, you are already a veteran of the three dynasties. Take the initiative to admit your mistakes. Your Majesty will thank you for your hard work." , maybe He Fu will be forgiven, maybe father's life will be saved too?"

"Grandfather, don't hesitate any longer, it will be too late!"

Mrs. He seemed to be moved by He Tingrong's words, and his struggling expression gradually disappeared. He called the housekeeper and asked, "Has the master not been found yet?"

The master is He Tingrong's father, He Yuanwei.

The butler shook his head: "Not yet."

Grand Tutor He suddenly clenched the veteran hand on the grand master's chair, his face became more gloomy: "Have you gone to the Liyuan to look for it?"

Butler: "I have sent someone to look for it, but I still can't find it."

He Tingrong suddenly said: "Can the 'White Snake' from Liyuan come on stage today?"

Her father was obsessed with Beijing opera, and recently became obsessed with the most popular female role in Liyuan, "The White Lady".

Subtle emotions flashed across the housekeeper's face. He Tingrong felt strange when he saw it, so he asked, "What's the matter? But what happened?"

Steward: "The 'White Lady' is dead."

died?He Tingrong sat up straight and asked in surprise, "When did you die? How did you die?"

"Last night, I heard that he fell into the water and drowned." The housekeeper replied.

"Where did he die?" He Tingrong asked.

"Duke Cheng'en Mansion."

He Tingrong:? ? ?

"Cheng'en mansion? Wasn't the person who died yesterday in Cheng'en mansion the Pingjun king?" He Tingrong asked doubtfully.

The housekeeper only knew the news, and he said: "Ping County King is the 'White Snake'."

He Tingrong: ...This is really unexpected.

Suddenly, He Tingrong had a flash of inspiration, and blurted out: "Did the master go to Pingjun Prince's Mansion to express his condolences?"

housekeeper:? ? ?
Even Taifu He turned his head to look at He Tingrong. He thought it was ridiculous at first, but then he thought about it, according to his son's temperament, it was reasonable.

So he turned back, looked at the butler, and ordered: "Go to Pingjun Prince's Mansion to find him, find him and tie him back!"

"Yes!" The butler led the order to go down to work.

After the housekeeper went down, Mrs. He looked at He Tingrong again, and said, "Ting Rong, this matter is a serious one, and you must not say anything about it until your grandfather escorts your father into the palace to plead guilty."

He Tingrong knew the seriousness of the matter, and nodded solemnly.

Taifu He looked at the letter brought by He Tingrong on the table, and said slowly: "You said that this matter was given to you by the Marquis of Zhenbei?"

He Tingrong nodded: "Yes, these letters were given to me by Fenghua."

Taifu He sighed in a low voice: "The kindness of the Zhenbei Houfu saved my He family's life!"

After finishing speaking, he raised his head and looked at He Tingrong: "You have married into the Hou's Mansion now, so you are not counted as the He family. Even if my He family is unfortunately ransacked and exterminated later, it will not affect the married daughter. I won't abandon you, Ting Rong, you can live in peace in Zhenbeihou Mansion from now on."

Mrs. He paused, and continued: "Go back, don't come here until this matter is over."

He Tingrong's eyes suddenly filled with enthusiasm, she knew that her grandfather was trying to avoid suspicion.

"It's a good thing that Zhongjing knows how to avoid suspicion, otherwise this matter may implicate him."

Zhong Jing is Qin Jin's cousin. After Qin Jin knew that the chief examiner of this year's scientific examination was his Yue family, he began to avoid suspicion and refused to go to He Fu.

He Tingrong lowered her eyes and felt sober in her heart, it's okay, it's okay.

Taifu He spread out on the chair, waved his hands tiredly, and said: "Okay, listen to Rong, you should go back to the Hou's mansion, and remember to thank the guests behind closed doors when you go back, and don't go out for a walk."

He Tingrong stood up, bowed her head, bowed to her grandfather, and replied in a low voice: "Grandfather, take care, grand... granddaughter is back."

"Well, come back."

He Tingrong hesitated, looked at her grandfather again with red eyes, and left in tears.

She knew that this was likely to be the last time she saw her grandfather.
