Chapter two hundred and ninety-six close relatives and distant couples
When the consort Yu Dingquan learned that his daughter Jin'er had been demoted to a commoner, he immediately went to the princess's mansion to see her.
No, it is no longer the Princess's Mansion, the plaque has long been taken off.
Yu Jin was imprisoned in the most remote courtyard, surrounded by guards. Not even a fly could fly away, let alone her. The original silks and luxurious furniture in the courtyard had long since been replaced.
They were removed, leaving only some tables, chairs and beds that looked like they were bought from poor people.
Normally, Yu Jin would not let these things stay in front of her eyes. But now, even in her original mansion, she has lost the right to dominate and is worse than the servants. At least those servants
The treatment is much better than hers.
Yu Jin's gorgeous clothes had long been forcibly taken off by the palace maids, and she had been put on rough linen cloth.
The rough touch made the skin of Yu Jin, who had been pampered since childhood, turn red. Her eyes were red, and she looked at these evil nuns who were adding insult to injury.
These nuns were specially sent by Emperor Rong Ji. They were very selfless and selfless. They said with a cold face: "Your Majesty has spoken so eloquently that the common people in Yu Jin must experience the real common people's life."
"Every day the common people in Yujin must go to the fields to farm. If the task is not completed, the princess will prepare three meals by herself."
However, all the food in the kitchen has been moved away. If Yu Jin really has nothing to eat, the most he can do is to draw water from the well to drink.
"After eating this meal and gaining strength, Miss Yu will be able to work."
Another nun brought her lunch.
Lunch was two vegetable steamed buns. These steamed buns were not made of fine flour and contained a lot of wheat bran. Swallowing them would make your throat sore.
Even Yu Jin's dog wouldn't eat this thing. When she saw the vegetable buns, she was furious and threw the two vegetable buns on the table to the ground. The vegetable buns were stained with dust and turned gray.
Thumping.
Grandma remained motionless and said with a smile: "I will only send these two steamed buns here today. Since you don't like eating them, you don't need to eat them today."
After saying this, the nuns retreated.
Yu Jin bit her lower lip tightly and looked at the two vegetable buns with disgust. She stretched out her foot and stepped on them hard, flattening them as if she was venting something.
If you want to humiliate her in this way, she will not compromise. She would rather die than eat these things.
She didn't believe that her uncle would really watch her starve to death.
And there is her father, who loves her the most, so there is no way she will be wronged. When she comes out, those slaves who look down on others must be cut into pieces!
However, Yu Dingquan, who had high hopes from Yu Jin, was immediately stopped outside.
Although Yu Dingquan is over forty years old, he looks like he is only around thirty because he is well-maintained. He usually has a gentle smile and said with a cold face: "Get out of the way, I want to go in to see you."
Jin'er."
Although Jin'er made some mistakes, they were all instigated by the servants around her. She has a straightforward personality and is not as thoughtful as those so-called ladies from famous families.
Now that she is deprived of her status and demoted to a commoner, she doesn't know how uncomfortable it must be.
These guards only obeyed the emperor's orders and remained calm even when faced with Dingquan's cold expression.
"Does the prince-in-law want to resist the decree? Your Majesty said that if the prince-in-law wants to go in and share the joys and sorrows with the people in Jin, that is fine, but from now on, we will be confined in the courtyard together. If he goes out in violation of the decree, he will be killed without mercy."
Yu Dingquan, who originally wanted to force his way in, stopped and froze.
Is the saint really serious this time?
Naturally, he is not afraid of hardship, but if he goes in, who will help Jin'er intercede for mercy?
His eyebrows were furrowed and his hands clenched into fists.
This matter can only be dealt with by Rong Xiang.
Even if Rong Xiang is at odds with Jin'er and her daughter, she probably doesn't want to see Jin'er fall into such a situation.
And after suffering this crime, Jin'er must know that she was wrong and will not make the same mistake again in the future. She has learned enough lessons.
As for wet nurse Du Ruo...
Disgust appeared in Yu Dingquan's eyes. When she was a child, Jin'er was innocent and cute, and she would apologize in a sweet voice if she accidentally bumped into someone. Du Ruo must have deliberately instigated her to make these mistakes.
If Du Ruo is taken to the sky prison and tortured truthfully, he still doesn't know if he will betray Jin'er. He must find a way to get rid of her!
Even if it involves using some of the family's secrets, he won't hesitate.
Jin'er was the only bloodline that Yan'er left to her. He promised her that no matter what, his child would live a life of carefree, happy and smooth life.
If he can't even save Jin'er, what's the point of living for him.
He turned around and jumped onto the tall horse, galloping towards the princess's mansion.
Because of Yu Jin, Yu Dingquan's relationship with the eldest princess Rong Xiang has become increasingly cold over the years.
In the eyes of the eldest princess, Yu Jin's domineering character was mostly caused by his connivance. As for Dingquan, Rong Xiang valued face and etiquette more than family affection, and was as hypocritical and ruthless as other royals.
When he broke into the princess's house, Rong Xiang was saying to his aunt beside him: "Compile the identities of those victims and find them as soon as possible to see if we can make some amends."
Hearing the footsteps, Rong Xiang turned around and saw Yu Dingquan, who was no longer calm as usual. She frowned and said in a cold tone, "What are you doing here?"
Yu Dingquan said angrily: "Don't you know that Jin'er was demoted to a commoner and banned from the house?"
Rong Xiang said coldly: "I know."
"At least she's alive, isn't she?"
"But some of the people she harmed couldn't even get compensation. You helped cover up all the things she did over the years, right?"
How could the servants in Jin'er's Mansion cover up these things tightly and without leaking anything? Rong Xiang had a difficult delivery and had been recuperating her body since she gave birth to the child. Yu Jin basically stayed in the mansion, waiting for her to find out about Yu Jin
After his domineering personality spread throughout the capital, he tried to discipline him, but he always got angry and had chest pain. Every time he got emotional, he always got sick.
Yu Dingquan choked, "She was just impulsive, and most of it was because others offended her first."
"And I also gave money to those people. They took the money and had no intention of pursuing it. This time, it was obvious that someone deliberately wanted to harm Jin'er, so they found out about these little things." If he knew who did it, he would
The other party must pay the price.
"Because I bumped into her unintentionally, my life would be worse than death. Is this a small thing in your eyes?" Rong Xiang's beautiful face showed anger, "Then I will cripple you and compensate you another ten thousand taels. Are you willing?
?"
"These are two different things. Can those people compare with me and Jin'er? In your heart, outsiders are more important than us?"
"Do you only care about your reputation and don't care about your own flesh and blood?"
Rong Xiang said: "If I had known that she was so lawless and had such a disregard for human life, I should not have given birth to her in the first place."
Under the agitation, her face turned sickly red and she started coughing again.
Yu Dingquan gritted his teeth and said, "I beg you, I think Jin'er really knows she made a mistake this time, and she won't do it again in the future."
"After all, she is our only child. Can you bear to watch her be grounded and suffer for the rest of her life? To say that she is at fault, both of us are guilty of negligence."
"If you are willing to beg for mercy, the saint might be willing to grant mercy."
Rong Xiang looked at him intently. She didn't understand why the jealous man in her youth had become so strange.
After a while, she said: "I can't plead for her."
"But you are right, as parents, we both failed in our responsibilities."
"So I will ask the emperor for permission to ban all three of our family together."
She continued: "Originally, the emperor wanted to hit Jin'er thirty times with a cane, but he thought that Jin'er's body might not be able to bear it, so he changed it."
"As the person who loves Jin'er the most, you must be willing to take his place, right?"
