Crying in anger, dressing up as a fake daughter and earning money to pamper the villain Chapter 101: If you do something wrong, you have to pay the price
Chapter 101: If you do something wrong, you have to pay the price
No one spoke, and the atmosphere was a bit heavy.
After a while, Zhou Meidai calmed down, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and looked up at the young and dazzling Crown Prince, "Can I believe you? Your Highness?"
Zhou Meidai smiled sadly, "No matter how much I hate it, my hard work over the past year has made me realize the fact that even if I take my own life, I can't touch those people in the slightest."
Behind the salt in Jiangnan is not only a huge amount of money, but also complicated interests, which even today do not dare to take action easily.
She, Zhou Meidai, is nothing but a mere woman. It would be as easy for those people to kill her as to crush an ant.
The reason why he hasn't taken any fatal action yet is because the account books and lists that Yu Jinwen found after his narrow escape were missing after his death.
Zhou Meidai naturally became a key target of suspicion.
Everyone wants to get the list and account book from her. What a huge handle it is. She holds it in her own hands, and the people on the list are not at the mercy of others.
Fu Jingchao said solemnly, "Madam, of course you can trust me, I will let Mr. Yu rest in peace."
Zhou Meidai looked down at her hands, "I have no way out, and there is no one I can trust."
Shen Xingwan keenly caught the meaning of her words, held the cold hand and asked, "Sister, what do you mean, the Zhou family can't believe it?"
This question was too offensive. Zhou Meidai hesitated for a while but still nodded.
Anyway, that was it, she bet for the last time.
Trust your own intuition, because her husband once told her more than once that your Royal Highness is a promising young man. Although he is not old, he is magnanimous and responsible in his work.
"Do you know why the emperor chose Yu Lang to go to Jiangnan in the first place?" Zhou Meidai asked.
Fu Jingchao sat down and said word by word, "Because your eldest uncle is the salt censor of Jiangnan, and your eldest aunt comes from a famous family in Jiangnan."
Yes, although the Zhou family is not from Jiangnan, they do have a certain influence in Jiangnan. The idea at that time was to send the Zhou family's son-in-law Yu Wenjin to come. With the Zhou family's backing, things would be much more convenient.
But he never thought that this decision might be the key to Yu Wenjin's death.
Zhou Meidai firmly held Shen Xingwan's hand back, almost gritting her teeth and saying in pain, "I know better than anyone else that if the Zhou family wants to protect him, he will at least be able to walk out of Jiangnan alive, and he will not die so tragically."
"My family chose to abandon me and my husband, and may have even participated in the murder."
There is nothing more painful than this. Zhou Meidai's beautiful life collapsed at that moment.
Family affection? Love?
Relatives? Husband?
For a long time, Zhou Meidai felt like she was torn in half and didn't know where to go.
Does she want to take revenge on her relatives for her husband?
If she told her, others would think she was crazy.
Any words of comfort seemed very weak at this time. Shen Xingwan sighed. Zhou Meidai could hold on until now and not collapse. She was already in an excellent state of mind.
Fu Jingchao was not surprised by Zhou Meidai's words. There was a problem with Jiangnan's official salt account books and salt merchants. How could Mr. Zhou, the salt patrol censor, be immune alone?
He knew the emperor's temper very well, and sending Yu Wenjin to the south of the Yangtze River was a gamble in itself.
The bet is on Yu Wenjin's cool breeze and bright moon and his extraordinary ability, using the Zhou family's son-in-law to open a hole for Zhou's family.
It was originally a dead end.
It can be said that Yu Wenjin's ending was not unexpected, and Zhou Meidai's words were also correct. The court that Yu Wenjin worked for failed him!
"If the Zhou family is really involved, how will Madam be treated?" Fu Jingchao asked.
Zhou Meidai recalled that during the year in Shengjing, his father couldn't wait to send his stepmother to her in the name of companionship.
It's called companionship, but it's actually supervision.
Faced with the constant temptations from her stepmother and father every day, she was almost driven crazy, so she would rather hang out at various banquets than go home.
The one-year filial piety period has just passed, and her good father can't wait to find her next husband.
Although she is a widow, her name and face are still valuable.
The last trace of family affection was exhausted little by little, and Yu Wenjin's death seemed to the Zhou family to be nothing.
The original marriage was only possible because her mother held her father's hand before she died.
Because the young Tan Hua Lang promised to treat her for a lifetime.
Zhou Meidai said with firm eyes, "No matter who you are, you will have to pay the price if you do something wrong! Of course, that includes the Zhou family!"
At this time, Zhou Meidai's strength and calmness are admirable. It makes sense that she was famous all over Jiangnan back then, and it was not just because of her beauty.
Fu Jingchao stood up and walked to the bed, clenched his fists and stretched out his hand to Zhou Meidai, "If Madam is willing to believe me, then I, Fu Jingchao, will go through fire and water without hesitation, and I will definitely live up to your trust."
This action may seem disrespectful, but it is actually very loyal.
Looking at the young prince's firm and clean eyes, Zhou Meidai finally stretched out her hand, made it into a fist and touched Fu Jingchao's hand.
"His Royal Highness, you have made a huge promise, of course I am willing to believe you."
Zhou Meidai was so excited just now that she became even weaker.
Feng Ling walked in with the boiled medicine in hand and said distressedly, "Madam, drink the medicine first."
Fu Jing stepped back and said, "Madam, rest first. Things are not urgent right now."
"Sister, please rest first."
The two of them walked back out the door together, and Shen Xingwan tried hard to recall the details of the original text.
How did Fu Jingchao end up with such status and ability?
Fu Jingchao looked at her standing there distracted and couldn't help but said, "What are you thinking about?"
Shen Xingwan looked at him with bright eyes, "If I remember correctly, the emperor is not your uncle, right?"
Fu Jingchao didn't know that she would ask this suddenly, but he replied, "The emperor recorded it in the name of the Queen Mother."
That means he and the Queen Mother are not biological mother and son, nor are they Fu Jingchao’s biological uncle.
Shen Xingwan's eyes darkened. If this happened, there would be traces of the loneliness of Zhennan Palace later on.
Shen Xingwan had a headache. In this case, it would be more difficult to save Fu Jingchao.
Shen Geixingwan said thoughtfully, "Too much limelight is sometimes not a good thing. "
"Sometimes when you stand in certain positions, you have no choice." Fu Jingchao said.
The two of them had a tacit understanding of playing riddles.
Shen Xingwan was basically certain that Fu Jingchao, who seemed to be so sharp and brilliant, might not actually be that good in camera.
"Praising and killing" is also a method.
A breeze blew by, bringing a bit of chill.
Fu Jingchao looked at her and said softly, "It's windy. Go back first. This matter ends here. Don't get involved in the future."
It was too dangerous, and he was not even sure of his escape.
If something really happened, it didn't matter if he died. If Shen Xingwan was involved, he would have a guilty conscience.
