When the news came back to Duke Xu's mansion, there was a cry and shouting in the backyard.
The Duke's wife's head was buzzing, and she sat blankly on the chair, her eyes dull.
None of the maids and ladies came to persuade her. It wasn't a matter of whether they could persuade her, but because they didn't care.
Because the old lady was crying, smashing things, and cursing people. If she didn’t stop her, something would happen.
Xu Guogong returned home in a daze, and came to see his mother in a daze.
As he stepped into the room, he almost stepped on a piece of broken porcelain, which frightened him so much that he came back to his senses.
Seeing the messy scene again, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "What are you doing?"
The Duke's wife now has a backbone and is a little more awake: "Where is Ke'er? I just heard someone came to report that he was going to be exiled, three thousand miles away, Lord Guo, this..."
As soon as he heard "three thousand miles", Xu Guogong's heart sank, and he choked with sobs: "It was decreed by the Holy One."
A snap.
A tea cup was broken again at Xu Guogong's feet.
"Then you came back like this?" Mrs. Guogong pointed at her son and said, "Your Majesty was deceived by the people in Shuntian Mansion.
The nuns went to listen to the court hearing, and that villain Shan Shen talked nonsense and deceived people's hearts!
That group of common people just came to see the fun. They knew what was good and what was good, and they were just there to make a fuss!
Let me tell you, the front leg of the broken leg entered Shuntian Mansion, and they handled the case with the back leg. They are obviously colluding, and they are all the same.
You, a father, saw that your son had been wronged, so you just came back in such silence?
You should clarify the truth to the Holy One!
But what did you do? Your knees were so clean, did you kneel outside the imperial study? There was no injury on your forehead, so did you kowtow vigorously in front of the emperor?
How dare you come back like this!"
After a scolding, Xu Guogong's eyes flashed with stars.
His mother spoke very fast and he couldn't interrupt him. Due to his usual habits, he would not interrupt his mother rashly, but now this conversation...
"Clarify the truth? What is the truth?" Xu Guogong waved away the hand of the Duke's wife who wanted to persuade him to make peace, and said sternly, "The truth is that Ke'er deliberately murdered the Chengyi Mansion.
You actually insist that he is innocent. Who do you think the Holy Spirit is?
Your Majesty only dealt with Ke'er and has already saved our face. If you continue to make trouble, are you going to bring the whole family into trouble?
There was so much mud that I couldn't even wipe it clean. I knelt on his behalf and kowtowed. Do you want to see me kneeling at Caishikou and being beheaded, right?
Just like their Zhu family, they were all chopped down!"
Has the old lady of the country ever been so contradicted?
Grabbing the crutch, he was about to hit the unfilial son.
Upon seeing this, the Duke's wife used her body to block the attack, and was hit several times, causing tears to fall from her eyes.
But when she thought of her youngest son, she still gritted her teeth and reluctantly said, "My lord, is there really nothing we can do?"
Duke Xu stepped forward and took the crutch from the old lady's hand.
Taking a deep breath, he and his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law said: "The Holy Spirit's meaning is very clear. If we can't understand clearly, the Zhu family will learn from our mistakes.
Mother, besides Keer, you have other grandchildren; and you, you also have other sons.
Only Ke'er is your thorn in the side, and you don't care about the life or death of everyone else?"
Because he understood the character of his old mother, Xu Guogong said to his wife: "You stay with your mother more, I am going to write a confession, and then I will shut myself up and think about my mistakes. The family is also restrained, except for shopping, go out less, and don't give up anymore."
Other things will come."
The Duke’s wife had tears in her eyes.
She understands what her husband means.
Accompanying the old lady is actually controlling the old lady and holding the old lady hostage.
Xu Guogong went out first.
The old lady slumped down on the Arhat bed, as if her soul had been taken away from her whole body.
While she was in a daze, the maids quickly cleaned up the mess.
When the Duke's wife was exhausted mentally and physically, she heard her mother-in-law mumbling something. She couldn't hear clearly, so she had to lean in to distinguish.
"How can it be the same as the British government..."
"What Lao Zhu's family is doing is beheading, and we Ke'er are just pouring a few buckets of water."
"The Holy One actually imposed such a severe sentence!"
"No, I can't sit still and wait for death. I want to go to Cining Palace to see the Empress Dowager."
"I still have many old sisters. I want them to help me. Let's go to the Empress Dowager and ask the Holy One to take back my life."
When the Duke's wife heard this, her heart sank to the bottom of her heart, and said: "Don't be like this, I know you feel uncomfortable. You love Ke'er, and so do I. The Duke must be the same.
When he said there was nothing he could do, it must be that there was really nothing he could do.
If you go to the Empress Dowager to ask for help, can the Empress Dowager still disagree with the Emperor over this?
When the time comes, the Emperor is afraid that he will annoy us even more."
The old lady of the country held her daughter-in-law's hand and said: "Where should I go to beg Uncle Chengyi? Isn't her little Duan gentle and kind? As long as she lets go and lets the princess go to beg the empress dowager..."
The Duke’s wife sighed.
She remembers very clearly that during the Mid-Autumn Festival, so many married women were present outside the West Palace Gate, and her mother-in-law scolded the old lady of the Chengyi Mansion in front of her face for "dove occupying the magpie's nest". How can others not hold grudges?
What's more, Ke'er almost killed his granddaughter...
For a whole day, the old lady racked her brains and thought of various ways, but none of them worked.
The Duke’s wife maintained her last bit of reason and did not let her mother-in-law take a step out of the room.
When the old lady could no longer make trouble, she asked her two other sons to persuade her.
The next morning, the old lady finally met Su Ke.
The Holy Spirit personally judged it, and the procedures for all parties were very fast, and they set off before noon.
At the gate of the city, the old lady hugged Su Ke and cried sadly. Su Ke supported his grandmother and also cried loudly.
"You must take care of your health and don't worry about me all the time. My grandson can no longer be filial to you."
"Grandma can't bear it, she can't bear it!"
Not far away, in the carriage, Lin Yunyan was slowly drinking a hot drink.
Just looking at the scene in front of me is really "moving".
Many people pointed and pointed, with many expressions of emotion.
This is not surprising.
They laughed at Su Ke's messy things, but lamented the friendship between ancestors and grandchildren. Furthermore, outsiders really didn't know what an unreasonable temper Mrs. Xu Guogong had.
I can only think that this old lady from the noble mansion is indeed a loving grandmother when she cries like this in front of others.
Beside me, Grandma Hong looked angry.
Lin Yunyan turned her body and whispered a few words to her.
Grandma Hong nodded quickly, opened the curtain, stepped out of the car, walked not far from the grandparents and grandson, and looked at them with a sullen face.
Beside, someone recognized her.
"Is she the nanny from Uncle Chengyi's house?"
"That's her. Yesterday during the court hearing, she came out and told what happened. She was on the carriage at the time."
During the discussion, Mrs. Xu Guogong turned her head and looked over.
She didn't recognize Grandma Hong, so she asked Su Ke: "The one next to Lin Yunjing?"
Su Ke replied: "I remember it was from her widowed mother's side."
After hearing this answer, the old lady suddenly became angry: "What are you doing here? Have you not harmed my grandson enough?"
