Chapter 438 Becoming an in-law with Qin Qiong brings disaster to Fang Yuan
"What, what's going on?"
Qin Qiong was surprised and said.
Qin Huaiyu has been banned by him and punished to kneel in front of his ancestors.
He can't go to Fang Yuan for help, so who else can go to Fang Yuan for help?
That woman who looks down upon the other person’s identity?
Soon, Qin Huaiyu, who was kneeling in front of his ancestors, also got the news.
The moment he got the news, Qin Huaiyu was stunned, and then he was ecstatic.
"Dad, did you see it? Don't you want to stop it now?"
Qin Huaiyu came to Qin Qiong excitedly and said.
"You must be that woman?"
Qin Qiong said with a straight face.
"Dad, Lu Xia and I truly love each other!"
Qin Huaiyu said righteously.
"Fart!"
"If you were not a noble man, would she be willing to marry you?!"
Qin Qiong snorted coldly.
Although Lu Xia is going to become Fang Yuan's adopted daughter, her identity has undergone tremendous changes.
But it still couldn't change Lu Xia's background, and Qin Qiong was still a little embarrassed.
"Dad, what do you want?"
“You object if you don’t have an identity, but you also object if you have an identity?”
Qin Huaiyu suddenly became unhappy and shouted with a stern face.
"The traitor!"
Qin Qiong didn't respond much, leaving just two words.
He was still a little dissatisfied, but considering Fang Yuan's true intention of recognizing Lu Xia as his adopted sister, he did not continue.
No matter what, the news that Fang Yuan wants to accept Lu Xia as his adopted sister has spread, and Fang Yuan’s intention is very obvious, supporting Qin Huaiyu and Lu Xia.
Fang Yuan had saved Qin Huaiyu and was kind to his Qin family. In this situation, even if he had any objections, he still had to give Fang Yuan three points.
And now Lu Xia’s identity is not worthy of Qin Huaiyu.
"Dad!"
Qin Huaiyu shouted angrily.
But it can't change the result of Qin Qiong leaving.
But Qin Huaiyu's eyes suddenly lit up in anger, and he understood immediately.
Although Qin Qiong called him a traitor and left angrily, it did not mean that he was still opposed to her and Lu Xia's affairs.
He just couldn't put down his face and couldn't agree to the marriage personally, but in fact he already acquiesced.
After thinking about this clearly, Qin Huaiyu shouted excitedly and immediately left the Qin Mansion to find Lu Xia.
Soon, Qin Huaiyu found Lu Xia at Huaxia Bank, and she was surrounded by many people to congratulate her.
The two looked at each other and immediately smiled.
Soon, Fang Yuan officially accepted Lu Xia as his adopted sister and invited some dignitaries from Chang'an City to testify.
Among them, Qin Qiong is included.
At the banquet, Lu Xia was dressed in blue, beautiful and elegant.
Dressed up, she seemed to have transformed from an ugly duckling into a white swan. Many people congratulated Fang Yuan for his good taste.
In fact, Lu Xia is not ugly, but she usually wears no makeup and rarely wears these gorgeous clothes, so she looks quite plain.
But at this moment, she is undoubtedly beautiful.
"General Qin, Lu Xia has already told me, what do your Qin family think now?"
Fang Yuan and Qin Qiong clinked glasses and asked.
He has already taken the initiative to accept Lu Xia as his adopted sister, so it doesn't matter if he takes the initiative to ask about the situation.
"Of course both hands and feet agree."
"Besides, if His Majesty objects, I will show my face."
Qin Qiong said solemnly.
This is his sincerity and approval of this marriage.
"Then I'll wait for the Qin family to hire me."
Fang Yuan nodded.
Qin Qiong can agree directly without having to waste words, which is very good.
"The date has been chosen."
Qin Qiong has already asked his wife to choose a date.
When the date is chosen, I will go to Du Miaoyan to issue a letter of appointment and so on.
Now that Lu Xia is Fang Yuan's adopted sister, Lu Xia's marriage was naturally handled by Du Miaoyan.
Lu Xia's biological parents are in Wuling County, but if you want the Qin family to look up to you, it would be a bit mysterious to hire them.
A few days later, the Qin family hired someone from the Fang family, and Qin Huaiyu married Lu Xia.
As soon as the news came out, the attention of the dignitaries in Chang'an City turned here.
A few days ago, people were curious as to why Fang Yuan suddenly recognized a servant as his adopted sister.
Now that the Qin family is proposing marriage, people instantly understand the reason: it is for Lu Xia to join the general family.
It's just a marriage between civil servants and military generals, and they are all ministers of the imperial court. Doesn't this alliance go beyond the rules?
"Your Majesty, I think it is inappropriate for Qin Huaiyu to marry Fang Shangshu's adopted sister."
"One is a military general, and the other is a civil servant, the Minister of Household Affairs, which will bring a lot of inconvenience to His Majesty in managing the court."
Many people expressed their opposition to this marriage.
They feel that the Federation of Civilians and Military Generals is not good at management.
"Qin Qiong has been ill at home for several years, and Fang Yuan has been suspended pending trial. How could they bring so much inconvenience to the court?"
Li Shimin stopped all opposition with almost one sentence.
Qin Qiong has contacted him privately, saying that his condition has worsened and he can no longer return to the army, but if the court still needs him, he will fight for his old age.
The subtext is to tell Li Shimin that he will no longer have any military power, but if the court needs him, he is willing to dedicate his life to the court.
Li Shimin still felt sympathy for a veteran's request.
Moreover, Fang Yuan also talked to him in private about Qin Huaiyu and Lu Xia's marriage before that, and he made a decision at that time.
With Li Shimin as a shield for Fang Yuan and Qin Qiong, the impeachment of the ministers is actually irrelevant, and the impeachment is not serious.
Senior figures like Changsun Wuji and Gao Shilian did not impeach because they all knew that Fang Yuan saved Qin Huaiyu, and whether there was a marriage relationship or not would not affect the relationship between their two families.
In about half a month, the Qin family and the Fang family completed the process and held a wedding for Lu Xia and Qin Huaiyu on this day.
Lu Xia is now Fang Yuan's adopted sister, she got married from Fang Mansion.
Among them, Lu Xia’s parents and other family members were brought to Chang’an City by Fang Yuan as witnesses.
The whole family was very happy because of the news. They couldn't believe that their daughter could marry the son of the Duke of China. They felt like smoke was rising from their ancestral graves.
"Uncle, aunt, as long as I am here, Lu Xia will not be wronged."
Fang Yuan comforted them both and told them not to worry.
Considering that Lu Xia's family had been brought to Chang'an City, Fang Yuan bought them a mansion.
It can be regarded as part of the dowry for Lu Xia.
The wedding is quite grand, after all, the son of the Duke is getting married.
Many dignitaries in Chang'an City were invited by the Qin Mansion, and many people came to the scene in person to congratulate the newlyweds.
Among them, Qin Qiong and his wife, Fang Yuan and Lu Xia's parents sat at the main seats, accepting the salutes of Qin Huaiyu and Lu Xia.
The banquet ended in the evening, and the guests celebrated and left one after another.
Fang Yuan refused Qin Qiong's personal farewell and returned to Fang Mansion after getting on the carriage.
On the road, the carriage didn't even stop when suddenly a figure rushed in, startling Fang Yuan.
When I took a closer look, it turned out to be Mo Cailing.
Mo Cailing looked a little flustered, as if something had happened.
"What's wrong?"
Fang Yuan was a little drunk, but still very sober.
"I, I was reported, saying that I often come in and out of Fang Mansion."
Mo Cailing said slightly nervously.
She is still a wanted member and will be reported to the Yamen if found.
But that wasn't what made her panic. What made her panic was that she was reported to often come in and out of Fang Mansion.
There is no doubt that this will make people think that she was hidden in Fang Mansion by Fang Yuan, and that Fang Yuan protected the criminal.
"Being reported?"
"Those people you took in?"
Fang Yuan sobered up immediately.
During her suspension, Mo Cailing was actually reported.
This is not a discovery, but a report, and there must be evidence.
If you have evidence, you won't be able to escape, and you will definitely be implicated.
"Maybe."
"I'm sorry, I didn't expect this."
Mo Cailing said guiltily.
A few days ago, she was almost encouraged by them to reopen Deng Ling's ink.
Now, some of them actually reported their relationship with Fang Yuan, which is really sinister.
It doesn't matter if you are reported. You are used to wandering anyway, so just leave Chang'an City.
But Fang Yuan is different. If Fang Yuan is involved, his official career will be affected.
"First check who reported it and see if it can be rectified!"
Fang Yuan frowned and said in a deep voice.
"I have arranged for someone to investigate, and I will investigate it myself later."
"I'm here to make it clear to you. If you need to denounce your relationship with me, just say you don't know. I won't blame you."
Mo Cailing looked at Fang Yuan and said solemnly.
Fang Yuan took her in for so long, she was grateful.
If it weren't for Fang Yuan, maybe she wouldn't be where she is now.
So if the situation becomes irreversible, she hopes Fang Yuan can push her out.
Only if she takes on everything, Fang Yuan's career will not be affected.
"You..."
Fang Yuan was about to say something.
But Mo Cailing jumped out of the carriage with a hiss.
As if he had come, he suddenly left again, shocking Fang Yuan again.
"Xue Rengui, what's the matter with you? Didn't you notice someone getting in and out of the carriage?"
Fang Yuan couldn't help but feel a little angry, and took out his anger on Xue Rengui who was driving.
"Huh? Does she want to stop it too?"
Xue Rengui replied in surprise.
He didn't stop him because he knew it was Mo Cailing.
Unexpectedly, someone like Mo Cailing would also stop Fang Yuan?
Fang Yuan opened his mouth, but finally chose not to speak, and leaned back on the pillow of the carriage to think.
Now that Mo Cailing has been reported, he should have been targeted, and there are even people waiting for him at Fang Mansion.
Faced with the most wanted criminals of the imperial court, even if the emperor knew about it, he would follow the procedures and would not be lenient to himself.
In such a situation, what should you do?
Just as Fang Yuan thought.
As soon as Fang Yuan's carriage entered Fang Mansion and stopped, Li Daozong appeared with someone.
"Fang Shangshu, someone has reported that you are harboring the wanted criminal Mo Cailing. Please follow me to Dali Temple to cooperate with the investigation."
Li Daozong said expressionlessly.
Although Mo Cailing is a wanted criminal, it is not the Dali Temple Minister's turn to personally take action.
The main reason is that Fang Yuan's identity is sensitive, otherwise Li Daozhong would be leisurely enjoying the delicious food at home.
"It's really hard for King Ren to handle the case in such a dark weather."
"I'll give Miaoyan and the others a few words, is that okay?"
Fang Yuan glanced at the sky, shook his head and laughed.
Noticing that Du Miaoyan, Su Ziqing and others were already waiting, Fang Yuan did not leave with Li Daozong immediately.
"A quarter of an hour."
Li Daozong has no objection.
Take the initiative to distance yourself from Fang Yuan and others.
"Husband, what do you need us to do?"
Du Miaoyan and Su Ziqing came over and looked at Fang Yuan worriedly.
Both of them naturally know about the relationship between Fang Yuan and Mo Cailing, they have met each other.
The person who reported it must have evidence. I just hope that Fang Yuan can find a way to resolve this problem.
"No need, just wait for me to come back at home."
Fang Yuan smiled and said.
But his mood was not as relaxed as his smile.
After hugging the two little ones, Fang Yuan said goodbye to Du Miaoyan and others and followed Li Daozong.
"Fang Shangshu, do you have anything to explain?"
Li Daozong was quite polite and prepared a carriage for Fang Yuan to ride with.
"What do you think I need to explain?"
Fang Yuan smiled calmly.
"We have collected evidence that you are harboring Mo Cailing. I hope you won't make excuses."
Li Daozong said in a deep voice.
"There is nothing to quibble about."
"I just hope that King Rencheng can remember my identity."
"Although I have been suspended, I have not been dismissed. Please review it and guarantee my rights and interests."
Fang Yuan said calmly.
As the Minister of Household Affairs, Fang Yuan has great privileges.
For example, a person of this level cannot be tried by a single law enforcement agency, but needs to be tried by three jurisdictions.
The joint trial of the three agencies is just a process, and ultimately it needs to be reported to the emperor. The crime will be considered guilty only after the emperor approves.
During this period, Fang Yuan will not be imprisoned like ordinary criminals, but will be under house arrest in a special place and can apply to see people.
"Natural."
Li Daozong said solemnly.
Given Fang Yuan's status, the crime of harboring criminals would not be serious.
Therefore, Li Daozong never thought about targeting Fang Yuan and giving him great preferential treatment.
Soon, Fang Yuan was brought back to Dali Temple, and a room was arranged for Fang Yuan to live in. The environment was not much different from the upper room in the inn.
After staying in the house arrest room in Dali Temple, Fang Yuan fell asleep quickly.
He drank some wine during the day and fell asleep quickly.
Fang Yuan was sleeping very comfortably, but the people waiting outside were having an explosion.
For example, Qin Huaiyu and Lu Xia, who had just gotten married, began to worry about Fang Yuan before they even entered the bridal chamber.
"Lu Xia, don't worry, I'll go find dad to find a solution now!"
Qin Huaiyu said in a deep voice.
Fang Yuan had saved him, and he was also his wife's boss, so he couldn't just do nothing.
"No, let's do it tomorrow."
"Tonight is our big day, don't waste the time."
Lu Xia grabbed Qin Huaiyu, shook her head and said.
"But Fang Yuan's safety..."
Qin Huaiyu also knew that tonight was a special day for both of them, and it might be unlucky for him to leave like this.
But it concerns Fang Yuan, how can I ignore it?
"We don't know what the situation is now. We will make plans when the situation becomes clearer tomorrow."
Luxia said solemnly.
She is considered Fang Yuan’s core character.
In fact, I have met Mo Cailing and know that Mo Cailing is now working with Fang Yuan.
In other words, it is true that Fang Yuan is harboring the wanted criminal Mo Cailing.
Since it is true, there is no use waiting for others to think of a solution. We can only wait to see what the person who reported the report will do.
"You're right, it's me, Meng Lang."
Qin Huaiyu thought for a while and nodded.
After calming down, Qin Huaiyu looked at the beautiful woman in front of him.
In addition, there are many people who are worried about Fang Yuan, and many people are gloating about his misfortune.
Among them, Changsun Wuji also received the news and obtained the evidence.
He entered the palace overnight, but he did not go to the palace to find Li Shimin, but to find Li Tai.
There are bound to be many people unable to sleep tonight.
