Chapter three hundred and eighty meritorious service
A long-lost smile appeared on Mrs. Lin's face, as if she could finally see the blue sky.
And the heavy dark clouds that stood in front of her, what bore her with her annoyed is this... the biological son she gave birth to with her life.
Cui Zhen's expression remained unchanged. He seemed to have no eyebrows in front of him, nor did he want to answer Mrs. Lin's words. He just told the manager to do it: "Mrs. The lady has not recovered yet. Be careful of the cold and send the lady into the house."
The smile between Mrs. Lin's eyebrows and eyes suddenly went away. She grabbed Cui Wei's arm and scolded sharply: "Cui Zhen, are you looking forward to my death like this? I see who dares you?"
Cui Zhen stood there, his figure was as straight as a mountain, shocking everyone in the mansion. The manager led a few mothers forward.
"Brother," Cui Wei was disbelief, and a fragility flashed across his face, "I see that the new year is coming... My mother is wrong but she has also been punished. She has made an explanation to the outside world. Now, if you close the door and let your mother walk around? The home is not a military camp, so don't ignore your affection like this."
Cui Wei's words did not shake Cui Zhen at all. He raised his eyes and looked at the manager: "What are you waiting for?"
The old lady stepped forward and supported Mrs. Lin's arm.
Seeing this, Cui Wei knelt down to Cui Zhen: "Brother."
Seeing Cui Wei kneeling like this, Mrs. Lin even shouted: "You are trying to force your mother and brother to death! People outside also think you are a victorious general, but in fact you are a bad beast. Brother Wei, you don't have to kneel down. I don't recognize him as my son, and you will not have a big brother from now on.
We, mother and son, moved out, we didn’t have to rely on him to survive.”
"Mother can leave," Cui Zhen said coldly, "but after stepping out of the gate of the Dingning Marquis' Mansion, there are only two places to go, either a prison where women are imprisoned or Cui's family's home. The mother has decided on a place to go, and her son will send her to her mother in person."
Cui Zhen's cold eyes fell on Mrs. Lin, and Mrs. Lin couldn't help but shivered. She believed that her eldest son could do it just by saying it, so she naturally didn't want to go to the home temple or the prison.
Mrs. Lin gritted her teeth and stared at Cui Zhen: "Okay, okay, I won't leave, I will stay here, and see with my own eyes how long will you be more powerful than Dingning Hou?"
After saying this, Mrs. Lin looked at Cui Wei deeply, her eyes filled with a mother's love and concern.
Cui Zhen clenched his fingers gently.
Mrs. Lin was taken back to the house, and Mrs. Zhang also asked someone to help her walk out.
Cui Zhen glanced at Zhang: "It's cold and you don't have to come out, just go into the house to keep it!"
Before Zhang's menstruation came, Zhang didn't even dare to take big steps in the past few days, and just waited for a few days to ask the doctor to come to the mansion to take the pulse.
Although Cui Zhen also hoped that the eldest son would be born, he did not spend his energy in the inner house. However, when he came back every day, he was moved to Zhang's expression of expectation and nervousness, and he treated Zhang a little more gentle.
Mrs. Zhang bowed to Cui Zhen. Cui Zhen stopped talking and turned to look at Cui Wei: "Follow me to the study."
Mrs. Zhang watched Cui Zhen and Cui Wei leave. Cui Wei took two steps forward and turned his head specifically as if he was looking at Mrs. Lin who was taken away. However, the gaze fell on Mrs. Zhang inadvertently, and it took a moment to withdraw her gaze.
When the figures of the two brothers disappeared at the end of the corridor, Mrs. Zhang took the people to the inner house. She thought the marquis had taken care of her. Today, she saw that this was still the case. All she gave her from beginning to end was a back.
Cui Zhen is different from an ordinary man. His heart is cold and hard. She has been married for so long and has thought of many ways, but he doesn't seem to be very happy with her.
"Do you know where the Marquis came back?" Mrs. Zhang asked the mother in charge next to her.
The manager's mother said, "The Marquis came back from the village outside the capital and went directly to the Marquis' Mansion in Huaiyuan."
What is the best in Huaiyuan Marquis’ Mansion? It makes Cui Zhen worry like this. She still remembers the expression of Cui Zhen clearly when he heard her introduce the Tan family to Hehuahu.
In Cui Zhen's mind, his aunt's family is more important than his biological mother.
Mrs. Zhang ordered the manager's mother: "After a while, the marquis will come out of the study and invite the marquis to the main house. I have an urgent matter to ask the marquis."
...
Cui Zhen and Cui Wei entered the study.
As soon as Cui Wei sat down, he felt a majestic gaze falling on him. Cui Wei raised his head and met him without fear.
Cui Zhen said calmly: "What have you been doing in Shanxi?"
Cui Wei said slowly and quickly: "The Ministry of War found out that Chen Weicheng had allocated military funds to Yongping Mansion in private. I remembered that our Datong military funds have been stretched over the years. I also suspected that someone in Datong had placed eyeliners. My younger brother felt that he would definitely catch those eyeliners by taking advantage of this matter.
The eldest brother was not suitable for him to recuperate at home, so his younger brother went to Shanxi to check it carefully, and took the military instrument accounts allocated by the Ministry of War over the years to the yamen to check it."
After saying this, Cui Wei paused for a moment: "Thanks to carefully checking, I really found the problem. Deputy General Chen of Datong Vatican Institute had a distant nephew working in Prince Huai's Mansion. Deputy General Chen said that his nephew Chen Jia came several times to persuade him to surrender to Prince Huai's Mansion."
Cui Zhen frowned when he heard this: "Chen Jia?"
Cui Wei nodded: "It's the manager around King Huai."
Cui Zhen said: "What else did Chen Jia say?"
Cui Wei's eyes were bright: "Chen Jia also said that if Deputy General Chen was willing to surrender, Prince Huai's Mansion would help Deputy General Chen make contributions."
Cui Zhen naturally knew what this sentence meant, and helping the generals make contributions, he was bound to provide weapons and troops, just like the real heavenly soldiers in Linsi.
Cui Wei said: "With Deputy General Chen's words, the government office can interrogate Chen Jia. Chen Jia is in charge of the treasury of Prince Huai's Mansion, and all the items that the Prince Huai's Mansion snatched are placed in the treasury."
Cui Zhen thought for a moment, raised his eyes and looked at Cui Wei: "The yamen went to the Huai Palace to check the treasury, but found no clues. The Ministry of Justice suspected that King Huai had hidden the objects in advance. If Chen Jia could admit it and help the government office find out the case, you have really made great contributions."
Cui Wei's smile froze and became a little frightened: "Brother shouldn't blame me, right? I didn't report to my brother in advance because I was afraid that if I couldn't find out, I would implicate my brother. Now everything is clear. If you want to say the credit, it is naturally the eldest brother's. I will not take any point. As long as the court can ask my eldest brother to lead the troops again, I will feel at ease."
Cui Zhen looked at the sincere expression on Cui Wei's face and said for a while: "You did it, and the credit is of course yours. I told you that now I just want to recover from my injuries at home. Since the military power has been handed over, I will never seek excuses to take it back."
