"I think the trial is about to start at this hour." The servant woman said: "I heard that in addition to the Ministry of Punishment and the Yushitai, the county master has also been ordered by the saint to go to jointly hear the case."

The county boss she talks about is naturally Mingluo.

"Such a situation is expected. The person who died was a member of the eldest grandson's family, and it happened when he was praying for blessings at Dayun Temple. The saint and everyone everywhere will pay special attention to it..."

Chang's brows furrowed even more as he said this.

The more attention paid to everything, the more likely mistakes will be made.

"Send more people to Dali Temple to keep an eye on today's court hearings, and report to me all the necessary details," Chang explained.

The physical evidence and motive are all there. Now no one suspects that he is elsewhere. If the Changsun family put pressure on Dali Temple in anger, that would be great. It would be best if the Changsui An order could be made in court today.

sin...

The servant came down and saw that her wife was tired and tense these days, so she said with relief: "Madam, don't worry, she will take care of this matter in time, no one will be suspicious of the prince, and everything will go smoothly."

Chang made a "hmm" sound, frowned and said, "The biggest variable now is that idiot from the Feng family. I'm afraid that if she can tell Xie Shi today, she will be able to tell others tomorrow."

"It shouldn't be possible. After all, she herself killed someone..."

Chang sneered: "Normal people can't imagine what kind of stupid things those stupid people can do."

"I have tried my best to plan for this, and I am always cautious. I can never let the success or failure of this matter depend on such a stupid thing, and let her make stupid mistakes outside." Chang said while holding back her disgust: "It is better to bring the person in as soon as possible.

"

"Then Madam, are you ready to agree to Lord Xie's conditions?"

"What if you don't agree?" Ms. Chang stood up and said, "She is right in saying that my son's life is more valuable than her entire Feng family combined."

It is no good if you push people into a hurry at such a juncture.

Her unsatisfactory son had caused such a disaster. How could everything be settled smoothly without paying a higher price?

You have to be willing to throw out the meat buns in your hand when it’s time to throw them out, otherwise it’s easy to make a big mistake out of a small thing.

Zuo is just a fifth-rank official, just like feeding dogs.

But this fifth-grade official is not something she can easily decide on her own. She still has to find the real owner of the Duke's Mansion.

Since Ming Jin was injured, Ying Guogong rarely set foot in the Chang family's residence. He either took turns staying in his concubine's room, or simply rested in the study outside the front yard.

Mrs. Chang is naturally dissatisfied with this, but compared to the troubles and troubles her son has brought, she has not been able to take care of those concubines who are ready to move around recently.

Chang went to the front yard and found Ying Guogong who was playing chess with his second son.

The father and son were playing chess against each other, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. This scene of father's kindness and son's filial piety made Mr. Chang's eyes hurt.

Ashen is the eldest son. People always have more preferences and expectations for their first children, and her husband is no exception. In the past, he could not see the existence of those two timid and cowardly bastards, but now

…

"Why are you here?" Ying Guogong asked with a frown.

Chang wanted to sneer when he heard this.

But now that he was sitting with the concubine, these words made her look like an uninvited outsider.

"I'm here to discuss something with the Duke." Mrs. Chang suppressed her anger and looked at the young man who stood up and saluted her.

The boy's fear of his aunt was deep-rooted. He was about to retreat when his father said: "The chess game is not over yet. Please wait aside."

The young man could only stand there, trembling with fear - his father didn't care about his life or death at all, so why bother comparing him with his aunt's mother?

"Is there something that my family cannot listen to?" Ying Guogong looked at Mr. Chang and said, "Just say it."

Mrs. Chang clenched her fingers tightly and said without squinting: "I want to carry a side room into the door for Ashen to celebrate his happiness. I just want to help him out of trouble."

Duke Ying was stunned when he heard this: "What did you say?"

Mrs. Chang was angry for a moment: "I said I would carry a side room through the door for Ashen -"

"...Why did you go there earlier!" Ying Guogong was puzzled: "In the past, when it was time for him to get married, you made all kinds of choices, but now you only have a stick and no drum, and the abacus beads are out of frame... You think of it.

Marrying him a concubine? Isn’t this buying a comb for a bald man?”

The young man standing nearby shivered when he heard this: "..."

There was a trace of annoyance on Mrs. Chang's face: "The doctor has already said that Ashen is not without possibility of recovery...that's why we have to bring him joy and eliminate his misfortune."

Duke Ying's brows tightened: "What kind of doctors are you looking for? How come they are also Feng Shui masters?"

Mr. Chang tried his best to suppress his anger: "...the theory of happiness was not said by a doctor. I asked an expert to calculate it for Ashen."

Duke Ying said "oh" in understanding.

Chang: "?"

Oh what does it mean!

Seeing that she seemed to be quarreling with him, Ying Guogong took into account her recent mental state, waved his hand in time, and said in a tone that he was too lazy to argue with her: "If you want to make trouble, then it's up to you."

It's just a side room anyway.

Mrs. Chang then told her, "She is the granddaughter of Lord Feng."

"Jun Feng?" Ying Guogong thought of the scandal that Jie had caused before and frowned, but he didn't say much.

After all, which normal high-ranking family would agree to let their granddaughter be the guest room for weddings? Some weddings would be good.

"But before people come in, there is something I need to trouble the Duke to come forward with."

Chang's stated Xie's conditions in a different way.

Duke Ying sneered when he heard this: "Fifth-grade official, her tone is quite serious. Is she selling her granddaughter?"

"With such an attitude, it doesn't matter whether we get married or not." Ying Guogong didn't intend to coddle the other person: "Since it's just a matter of happiness, then just find another family!"

Chang was not surprised that Duke Ying had such a reaction.

Promoting someone to a fifth-grade official is indeed not a trivial matter. It requires a lot of thought and effort. The reason why she agreed to Xie's family was because she knew the pros and cons, and it would be impossible not to agree. But her husband knew nothing about the inside story.

, naturally it is impossible to let go easily.

rhetoric.

Ying Guogong sneered: "What kind of expert is this? Is he taking advantage of the Feng family?"

"How could I be so stupid as to let people from the Feng family do tricks under my nose?" Chang said: "The master said, this time it will not only be Ashen's disaster that will be eliminated - if this disaster is not dealt with in time

If they are driven out, it may bring disaster to the entire Duke Ying's mansion in the future, and I am afraid that the Duke and I will also be implicated."

Duke Ying's expression froze.

After a moment, he said: "...well, I'd rather believe it."

Chang felt very ironic when he heard this, and this trick was indeed the most effective.

Ying Guogong looked at her, frowned and said: "It's okay to bring joy and eliminate disaster, but disaster comes from people, so you should discipline and restrain him, let him recover in peace, and don't cause trouble again!"

It was also his fault that he had been confused before and thought that his eldest son had followed his masculine ways. On the other hand, the two concubines were too timid and timid, which made him look down upon them.

Until these years, as the eldest son got into more and more troubles, and his manly demeanor was clearly only used to get into trouble and accomplish nothing in serious matters...

Only belatedly, he realized that although the eldest son had inherited some of his best qualities, he had taken the best and made it into dregs.

As a result, he gradually came to appreciate the good deeds of a concubine. It was true that he was young and did not know how good a concubine was, and mistakenly regarded a rebellious son as a treasure.

Now he feels bad when he mentions his eldest son.

If the saint had not personally reminded him not long ago, asking him to take care of his family affairs and stop causing trouble and gossip, he would have really wanted to dethrone the rebellious son from his position as heir apparent immediately.

The sage has said it before, so now he will just avoid the limelight of this troubled year. After three or two years, he will change his eldest son to a good son as the heir apparent because he has no children.

But the premise is that the traitor must never cause trouble again!

Ying Guogong wrote this final bottom line on his face.

Mrs. Chang smiled coldly in her heart.

The bottom line is still being met, but little does one know that this bottom line has been secretly trampled and trampled to pieces, and no scum is left.

She was just secretly struggling to clean up the mess.

"Although it's just a side room, the arrangements should be made early, so you can go and do your own thing."

Duke Ying dismissed his wife impatiently and asked his second son to continue playing chess with him.

After the Chang family left, Ying Guogong had a casual chat with his second son and casually taught him: "...the situation is not as stable as it was in previous years. It is precisely because you are descendants of the Ming family that you must be more careful in your words and deeds. Don't imitate you."

My eldest brother’s bad habits.”

The young man responded respectfully.

My father was really overly worried. His eldest brother's temperament was nurtured by his father and his aunt. How could they, bastards who had lived under the shadow of their aunt since childhood, learn such a difficult thing?

However, his father probably felt that raising the older one was useless and that he would have to work harder to raise a younger child, so he continued to preach.

"It is not advisable to fight fiercely and act recklessly. Let's look at the current fate of the husband of the Chang family. This is the best lesson for others!"

In this comparison, the rebellious son of his family is actually quite peaceful.
