Xiao Chengyi said: "Of course, the carriage has been prepared for Mr. Chu, please come."
Chu Wenxu did not exchange greetings with him, and walked out of the house directly.
Xiao Chengyi waved, and a secret guard immediately appeared. He said, "Follow me and have a look."
The secret guard responded with a yes and disappeared immediately.
The night is already dark.
In the flower hall of the Chu Mansion, Chu Lianyi had prepared a table of wine and food and was waiting for her father.
Not long after, I heard the housekeeper's voice: "Miss, the master is back."
Chu Lianyi stood up and saw Chu Wenxu walking over quickly. She knelt down and saluted and called: "Daddy."
Chu Wenxu looked at his daughter. Seeing that her expression was as usual, he breathed a sigh of relief. His eyes fell on the food on the table, and he couldn't help but asked suspiciously: "Did you know that I will be back today?"
Chu Lianyi said: "I have met the Prince Regent. He asked me to wait for your return at home."
She helped Chu Wenxu sit down and said, "Dad has lost weight. He has suffered a lot in the past two days? Your Majesty, he has not made things difficult for you, has he?"
Chu Wenxu frowned: "Do you know that I was arrested by the regent?"
Chu Lianyi said: "My daughter guessed it. You must have offended the prince by openly testifying against the regent in court. Today, the prince did something on the street and found out the real culprit behind the heart-breaking case, so the daughter went to ask the prince for help."
, ask him to let you go."
Chu Wenxu didn't know much about the matter, so he asked: "What is going on? The prince said that the murderer was the son of the Qin family, how could it be him?"
Chu Lianyi handed the bowl and chopsticks to him and said: "He did it. The prince wanted to elect someone else as the prime minister. Mr. Qin created this heart-breaking case for his father, trying to frame the regent and his princess, but he was
The prince found out.
Today Mr. Qin has admitted his crime in front of everyone, and the so-called monster thing is just a rumor he made up."
Chu Wenxu still couldn't believe it. He watched the corners of Chu Lianyi's lips move, but finally swallowed the words on his lips.
He sighed and said, "What a pity."
The relationship between the Chu family and the Qin family is not normal. Because her daughter suffers from leg disease, he often consults famous doctors, and the Qin family does the same. Qin Junyan suffers from heart disease and cannot do without the doctor.
The two families share the same illness and have a close relationship. Sometimes they will introduce famous doctors to each other.
In fact, a large part of the reason why he took the risk to testify against the regent was to help Qin Taiwei ascend to the position of prime minister, which would also be beneficial to him.
But I didn't expect that Qin Junyan was responsible for the heart-rending case that made people panic.
Chu Wenxu felt very uncomfortable.
Chu Lianyi said: "The food is almost cold. Daddy, please eat quickly."
She served Chu Wenxu some food, and then said: "Dad, please resign and return home. The regent is a smart man.
Whether it is you or Qin Taiwei, you have long lost your original intention of being an official and it is difficult to benefit the people. This is why the regent does not support Qin Taiwei.
Sooner or later, you will not be able to keep your official position. It is better to resign and still retain a trace of dignity.
You have done too many things for your daughter in this life. Because of your guilt for your mother, you have never remarried and you have no son. Your daughter feels very sorry.
So please father, please don’t persist. After you return to your hometown, dad, you will marry another wife and give birth to a healthy child. Our family will be happy and not care about the officialdom, okay?"
Chu Wenxu's eyes turned red after hearing what he said. He asked in a hoarse voice: "Do you want to leave the capital?"
