"I don't know what happened back then, but whether Li Hui valued me or not is not something you can worry about."
While she was talking, a clerk from the Criminal Department moved a stool for her. Cheng Xue thanked her and sat down, then continued:
"Didn't you ask to see me by name? Now that I'm here, just say whatever you want."
"Did you really forget that?" Su Zhen asked, frowning in disbelief.
Cheng Xue looked at him like a fool and shook her head in amusement.
"I was four years old when the Cheng family's accident happened. Can you remember whether you peed your pants when you were four? If you don't have the time to play tricks on me, why don't you tell me quickly? What's wrong with you? When you and the Gu family designed the Cheng family, the Yan family also
So annoying?"
Su Zhen raised her head and laughed, then stared at her with a pair of eyes and said:
"Have you really forgotten what you have done? If you hadn't told Bai Qingyun's daughter that your sister was going to enter the palace, we would have acted in such a hurry? The four major families have agreed not to send their daughters to the palace. Your family has broken this
Deadlock, shouldn’t the Cheng family be cannibalized?”
Cheng Xue looked at him with a confused face, shook her head and said:
"If I remember correctly, the courtyard where the emperor lived was called Gongweijian. A three or four-year-old child can't speak clearly enough, so naturally he can only remember the first word. At that time, you should stand up
Come on, don't you feel embarrassed that so many people of such an age have guessed wrong about what a child with a yellow mouth said, and are now making a fool of themselves again?
The Cheng family treats you well. In the past twenty-three years, you supervised the Jiangnan bridge construction project. When you were short of food and materials, it was the Cheng and Yan families who helped you tide over the difficulties. Your in-laws, the Gu family, didn’t even have a single child. You
What are you doing here right now? If I were you, I wouldn't be able to see anyone."
Naturally, I can't remember these things. They were all recorded in the account book and written in the letters left by the Cheng family.
"What I'm telling you now is just lying to others. Do you admit guilt or not? The things you committed in the north are enough to deserve your punishment. Mr. Su spent his whole life in the army and served in the Jinzhong court. He didn't expect that his legitimate son would plunder the soldiers.
supplies and allowances.
Su Zhen, don’t think you are so innocent. It’s no use looking for trouble when you do bad things. It’s you who should bear the responsibility. Instead of trying to slander me, it’s better to think about how you will face your relatives and your parents on the road to hell.
,Your friend.
Yan Ming has been kind to you, and Cheng Yu has been kind to you. How can you be so ungrateful and have no shame in living in this world? I am also short-sighted and came to see such a shameless villain like you. What a waste of time. Mr. Xu, exit
If this happens again, please don't come to me. I'm just a treasonous old man who talks lies like this. What do you think he can say that is meaningful? Let's go."
After Cheng Xue said "Teng——" she stood up and left without looking back.
No matter how Su Zhen shouted behind her, she did not stop.
She knew what Lao Xiaozi had planned, but the original person was the original person, and she was her. The original person was only four years old at the time, so who could take the words of a child with a yellow mouth seriously? In order to excuse herself, she would go to any lengths, relying on her old age to betray her.
, simply unworthy of being a human being.
When I walked to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, I saw Mrs. Gu standing there wearing the word "prison". She stopped and said:
"When you used the title of 'First Lady of Beijing' to deliver things to the north, and together with your father transported supplies to Beiqi in exchange for money, did you ever think that Beiqi would be well fed and clothed, and in turn attack Liangyan? Don't talk about you
I don’t know, but the letter written by Princess Beiqi to you is now in front of the emperor."
As soon as he finished speaking, the girls from the Su family who were in the same cell as Mrs. Gu all shouted "Ouch~" and rushed over to beat him.
If it were just an old incident, these female relatives of the side branch could at best be kept as slaves and still have a chance to survive. But once they are accused of treason, they will be sent to the military prostitute camp to spend the rest of their lives. Each one of them is a beauties with makeup and care.
When they grow up, the consequences for military prostitutes are worse than letting them die. But death also requires courage, so now they all attack Mrs. Gu.
Cheng Xue came out of the prison cell of the Criminal Department and saw Li Hui waiting at the door. She walked over, took his arm, and went straight to the carriage.
After getting in the car, the two of them had a tacit understanding and said nothing. Except for the sound of the car's wheels "squeaking...squeaking...", there was no other sound.
At this point, whether or not to confess is completely unimportant.
Xu Qing sorted out all the evidence and wrote two documents of conviction himself. One of them was handed over to the court, and the other was set on fire in the innermost room of the Prison Prison of the Ministry of Punishment.
All the men of the Cheng family were imprisoned here, and they were silenced overnight without even a chance to defend themselves.
Now they have given the Su and Gu families a chance to argue. Unfortunately, they will not be able to escape death, whether they are or not.
"Brother Cheng Yu, sister Xue'er is still alive. She is living a good life. Her man is also kind to her. She..."
Xu Qing will never forget that when he was bullied by Gu Huai and his friends, it was Cheng Yu who always protected him. They were nine years apart, and he was Xu's eldest son, so he regarded Cheng Yu as his elder brother, but his brother was raped.
Harmed by people.
The condemnation letter was burning in the prison. Cheng Xue knelt in the ancestral hall set up by Yan Yunchen for the Cheng family and was also burning the conviction letter.
After all these years here, she could no longer regard herself as a bystander. She watched the flames rise and then disappear, and then she looked up at the tablet above. She had no choice but to cooperate with Yan Yunchen, who was able to kill everyone in the Cheng family.
Remember the name completely.
Yan Yunchen came over and knelt down, and said in a coaxing tone:
"Xiaoxue, please adopt your youngest son to the Cheng family. There must be someone to worship these tablets, and the Cheng family cannot be cut off."
Cheng Xue looked at Yan Yunchen who had a sincere face, slowly shook her head and said:
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. The Cheng family is already like this. There is no need to let it appear in the public eye. What's more, my two children are the flesh and blood of the Li family. Even if they bear the surname Cheng, they are not the Cheng family. That's right."
"You don't believe me that much?"
"I really didn't believe it before my brother-in-law said this, but now I believe it. Just because I believe it, I can't let my child's surname be Cheng."
People don't even say "I" and use "I" instead. How could she not notice such good intentions? It's a pity that it's gone if it's gone. Selling dog meat over sheep's heads doesn't help. It can't be true if it's fake. It's completely unnecessary.
.
"Forget it, brother-in-law, you have already done a lot. If my eldest sister has a confidant like you, she did not come to this world in vain."
"Then do you know where she went?"
Cheng Xue was startled when she heard this, and then pretended to be confused and replied:
"When you die, you will naturally be reincarnated. As for where you will be reincarnated, I really don't know."
Seeing that she was completely unaware, Yan Yunchen simply stopped talking.
"Since you don't want your title to be sealed or your child's surname to be Cheng, I will continue to worship these tablets. When I leave, you can come and take them back. You can burn them or offer them as offerings, it's up to you."
