Lu Wenqin walked all the way back home. As soon as he reached the entrance of the alley, he saw a woman in a green shirt sitting in front of his house. Her figure and dress looked like Zhiqiu.
"Zhiqiu, why are you here?" He stepped forward and asked with some surprise.
Zhiqiu raised her head and glanced at him, stood up, and patted her skirt.
"Madam asked me to go back to you."
Lu Wenqin was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "That word came from my brother's mouth. I should go and give an explanation to Madam."
This matter can't be solved by just leaving Izumo Villa.
Zhiqiu sighed softly, looked at him and said: "Madam, please continue to return to Izumo Villa to work as an accountant."
This Mr. Lu must have made a mistake and thought that Madam wanted to go back to settle the score with him!
Madam is actually willing to ask him to be the accountant of Yunshan Villa?
"Why, why? Why did Madam let me go back after something like this happened?" Because of him, such unpleasant words were spread outside. Why would Madam keep him and let him continue to be the accountant of Yunshan Villa?
What? Shouldn’t Madam blame him?
Zhiqiu said: "You have done nothing wrong. Madam will not blame you, nor will she implicate you because of those rumors. Moreover, if you leave Izumo Villa at this time and others know about it, wouldn't it be right to say that you are guilty of committing a crime?
Really? You and your wife are innocent, so you should be generous and stay at Izumo Villa to work as accountants."
After hearing this, Lu Wenqin thought about it carefully and felt that Zhiqiu was absolutely right. He broke into a cold sweat on his back. He thought that if something like this happened, he should avoid suspicion and leave Izumo Villa, but his avoidance of suspicion would make people feel uncomfortable.
It felt like he had a guilty conscience, which made it even more unclear between him and his wife.
He is really...ah!
"I'm confused, I'll go back right now."
So, Lu Wenqin followed Zhiqiu back to Izumo Villa in a carriage.
imperial study room
Xuanyuan Yu listened to the report from the imperial guard with a gloomy face.
"Pa..." He slammed the table hard and said angrily: "What a Cui family, what a Chen Guogong mansion."
Xuanyuan Liuyun, who was standing aside, hurriedly raised his hands and said formulaically: "Your Majesty, please calm down."
Xuanyuan Liuyun also didn't expect that the rumors about the Zhenguo General's Mansion actually came from the Cui family and the Chen Guogong Mansion.
It turned out that Xuanyuan Yu heard the rumors in the imperial city and felt that something was not simple here. The rumors spread so fast and so many people believed them. It seemed that someone was adding fuel to the flames, so he sent the palace guards to investigate.
.This investigation led to the Cui family and Chen Guogong's mansion. This rumor first spread from these two families.
The guards also found out that there was some dispute between Chen Guogong's mansion and the Cui family and Shen Wan and the Song family.
At this time, they spread rumors that were unfavorable to Shen Wan. One was to disgust the Song family, and the other was to make Shen Wan unable to behave as a human being.
Song Heng was alive and dead, and the Song family was in mourning. It was really abominable that Chen Guogong's mansion and the Cui family would do such a thing.
Song Heng was a loyal minister, and Shen Wan not only saved A Li's life, but also contributed to the country. As the emperor, he naturally could not let her suffer such insult.
Song Heng's death had nothing to do with the Shen family. Just because of the rumors spread by Chen Guogong and the Cui family, many people in the city now believed that she had killed Song Heng, and even questioned her innocence and the child in her belly.
As for Mrs. Lin who died of illness, when Song Heng didn't marry her, she wanted to be a sister-in-law. This shows that she had a deep love for Song Heng. Therefore, she probably couldn't bear the blow of Song Heng's death and was too sad to stay with him.
went.
"How does the emperor plan to deal with this matter?" Xuanyuan Liuyun asked aloud.
Xuanyuan Yu said with a stern face: "Of course we have to deal with the Duke Chen's mansion and the Cui family, and clear the name of the Shen family. I will deal with them in court tomorrow." He ordered the guard: "You take someone to kill the Duke Chen's mansion and the Cui family first." All the servants who spread rumors were arrested."
"I obey the order," the imperial guard received the order. Suddenly he remembered something and reported again: "It is rumored that the wife of the Zhenguo General's Mansion has a child in her belly who is the accountant of her family. How can we do this?" We arrested them together." That person was not from Duke Chen's mansion or Cui Shilang's mansion, but the accountant's brother.
Xuanyuan Yu said: "Of course they were arrested together."
Shen Wan thought for a long time and planned to clarify the affair between her and Lu Wenqin first. The fact that she had an affair with Lu Wenqin was revealed by Lu Wenqin's brother. If she wanted to clarify this matter, she had to start with Lu Changgen did it. So, she had already made up her mind to go to the Fuyin Yamen to file a complaint. Let the Fuyin arrest Lu Changgen and hold a trial, and then let the people from the Izumo Villa testify. Although the people in the Villa are all hers, they Her testimony may be questioned. However, she believes that her own eloquence will definitely prove her and Lu Wenqin's innocence.
Lujiacun
Ever since Lu Wenqin came and caused a scene two days ago, Lu Changgen had been on edge the past two days, fearing that people from the General's Mansion would come looking for him.
His mother-in-law took her son to her parents' house and has not returned yet. There are only two old people and Sanya at home.
His parents wanted him to go out and hide, but he didn't know where he could hide. His father-in-law's family was most afraid of trouble. If they knew that he ran to their house to hide from trouble, they would definitely Will drive him back.
"Dad, it's time to eat." Sanya carried the rice into the main room, stood at the door and said to Lu Changgen who was sitting on the steps.
Lu Changgen stood up and patted the dust on his butt. He was about to enter the main room when he heard someone talking outside the courtyard.
