Chapter 13 Giving an opportunity
"Madam, I can see that the Third Young Master has really learned the lesson."
"Yesterday I went back and studied my books carefully. I came to the courtyard early this morning to say hello. I will go to school now."
"You should feel more at ease." Dengzhi rubbed the center of her brow for her.
Xu didn't say anything. Lu Yuanze came back last night.
The old lady was frightened after watching the execution and developed high fever at night. Lu Yuanze came excitedly to question him, but Mrs. Xu couldn't hold it back and asked him whether it was more important for Yuan Xiao to go astray or to take care of the old lady's face.
Lu Yuanze took away her housekeeping rights in anger.
He also scolded her for disrespecting her mother-in-law and asked her to think about her faults in front of the wall in the courtyard.
Grounded.
This morning, Lu Wanyi came to the door crying, saying that she didn't want the power to manage the house and it was her eldest brother who was making trouble unreasonably.
Mrs. Xu coaxed her back.
Before I had thought about this for a long time, the eunuch from the palace came to the door.
"Madam, Madam, someone is coming from the palace. I want you to come in." Lu Yuanze hurriedly came to invite you.
Dengzhi curled his lips, hahaha, what a slap in the face, after being grounded for a long time, the Marquis came to invite his wife in person.
Lu Yuanze didn't look good either, but he was thick-skinned after all.
"Yun Niang, why do you want to go to the palace?" When he went to ask, the father-in-law only glanced at him sideways and refused to say anything.
Mrs. Xu just said lightly: "I am still in confinement, Lord Marquis, please go."
Lu Yuanze's expression froze.
At this moment, the father-in-law was waiting outside the door. He could only sigh, lowered his body and said: "Yun Niang, I don't blame you. My mother is old and saw the book boy sent out being killed with a stick. She thought you beat her. Will She was scared."
"My father fought all over the world when he was young, and my mother worked hard to bring us up. After my father died, she supported the family by herself. Can't you understand my mother? Yun Niang, you are a considerate woman, how can you be like this? Unfilial?"
"You and I are one husband and wife, and we regard Yun Niang as our own. Yesterday, I was eloquent in my words. I hope Yun Niang will not blame you." Lu Yuanze does have a good appearance. When he lowered his body, it seemed that you were the only one with deep affection in his eyes.
In the past, Mrs. Xu was particularly fond of this.
today……
[Ha, what does your mother’s hardship have to do with my mother? Her suffering is not caused by my mother, filial piety is outsourced, how ‘filial’ Xiaochao spits at Gulu Gulu.
Just after being PUA, Xu was instantly awakened.
Such an appropriate outsourcing of filial piety.
Isn't it? When the old lady was seriously ill, she took care of her day and night, but it was Lu Yuanze who finally gained a good reputation.
"My parents worked so hard to raise me, but now the whole family is in jail, and the Marquis wants me to cut off our relationship. What kind of filial piety is this?" Mrs. Xu couldn't help but choked.
Lu Yuanze frowned slightly.
He looked at her suspiciously.
Xu seems to be different.
But Xu's more than ten years of obedience was not an act.
She worships herself as a god and listens to whatever she says. She has been erratic recently, and she must be angry with herself for neglecting her.
To attract your own attention.
Lu Yuanze's eyebrows showed a hint of pride. He had spent more than ten years training Mrs. Xu, how could she have second thoughts?
"I know you are angry, so I will ask someone to take care of it tomorrow."
Mrs. Xu didn't say anything. She only freshened up for a while and then went out to receive the order.
Lu Yuanze wanted to follow, but the eunuch glanced at him: "Master Marquis, please wait outside the palace. You are not allowed to enter the palace unless summoned." He glanced at the baby in Dengzhi's arms.
"Take the little girl from the Lu family with you. The eldest princess has been talking about it for a long time and is thinking about it."
Lu Yuanze's complexion suddenly darkened. Even Lu Chaochao, who was only forty days old, was invited to the palace! !
[Oooh, you deserve this for your scumbag dad] Xiao Chaochao grinned happily.
Xu thought to herself that the blood book she put under the crooked neck tree had an effect.
Xu was welcomed into the palace.
"Excuse me, please take care of Chao Chao." Mrs. Xu nodded towards Denzhi, who was waiting outside the door.
In the imperial study room, the atmosphere was depressing.
When Mrs. Xu came in, she only caught a glimpse of her father and eldest brother kneeling in the center, and the majestic Minghuang sitting in front of the hall. She was prostrate on the ground with her head lowered.
"My wife pays homage to Your Majesty." After finishing the process, Ms. Xu was already sweating.
Emperor Xuanping said nothing and waved his hand gently.
The eunuch put down his pen, ink, paper and inkstone. The eunuch said in a sharp voice: "Please, Mrs. Zhongyonghou, please pick up the pen and write a few words."
Xu's heart was beating wildly, but she was also a woman who had seen the world, and her face looked somewhat calm at this moment.
She raised her pen, and no one could see what she wrote, but the eunuch standing in front of her frowned slightly.
After a moment, Mrs. Xu put down her pen and knelt down again.
The eunuch moved his pen and ink up.
Emperor Xuanping saw the eight big characters on the paper and was silent for a long time.
Mr. Xu's hair and beard were white. Although he was a civil servant, he was strong-willed and knelt on the ground with his back straight.
I originally planned to die to clarify my ambition.
But when he saw His Majesty inviting his daughter, Mr. Xu shed a tear.
"Your Majesty, I admit..." This confession has not been finished yet.
Emperor Xuanping laughed heartily and put his hands on his hands: "Good! Good! The sea, rivers and rivers are clear, and everything is at peace!"
"Okay!" Emperor Xuanping actually stood up from behind the table and went directly down the white jade steps.
He stepped forward and personally helped Mr. Xu up while he was kneeling on the ground.
"Old Master, I have wronged you. Your Xu family has been loyal to Beizhao and has been loyal to Beizhao for generations. Even the daughter of the family has dedicated everything to Beizhao." Emperor Xuanping said with emotion.
"The person who reported the Xu family must be punished!" Emperor Xuanping's eyebrows were filled with a trace of anger.
Behind him, the eunuch presented a blood letter: "This is what was dug out from the Xu family."
Old Mrs. Xu stood up tremblingly, looking at the words crying blood, and was stunned.
On this are Buddhist scriptures copied with blood, showing piety. And that sentence, I would like to pray for the peace of Beizhao with thirty years of life. May your majesty be safe and healthy and have a long life.
At the very corner, the names of all the descendants of the Xu family were signed.
Each person's handwriting is very different, and each person's name is stamped with bloody fingerprints.
"All the descendants of the Xu family are good." Emperor Xuanping nodded.
Xu Lao Yezi's heart trembled.
In the whole family, only Xu Shiyun knows the handwriting of everyone in the family!
But it was never publicized!
Xu Shiyun's palms were covered in cold sweat.
Fortunately, even Lu Yuanze never mentioned that she knew the whole family's handwriting.
If she hadn't changed the puppets in advance, the Xu family would have been splattered with blood today!
"Although I am a daughter, I have been taught by my parents since childhood. The children of the Xu family have made it their duty to serve the imperial court! The entire Xu family believes in this."
"My wife lives in the backyard and can only pray to God all day long for His Majesty's blessing and longevity."
"Your Majesty is laughing." Mrs. Xu kowtowed.
The emperor laughed heartily.
"Xu Aiqing, you have raised a good daughter and a good descendant. The whole Xu family is good!"
He helped Xu Yiting up again.
Xu Yiting is the eldest son of Xu and the eldest brother of Xu Shiyun.
"I have wronged Xu Aiqing." The emperor seemed to be in a very good mood. He was still a little afraid of the Xu family since the Xu family held a high position, but it disappeared unknowingly at this moment.
He patted Xu Yiting on the shoulder: "The Xu family is loyal to Beizhao, and the world can learn from it. Come here, I will give Xu Aiqing the post of Shangshuling, and he will take office today!"
Xu Yiting's eyes were cold and his whole person was extremely calm. At this moment, he knelt down loudly and said, "My lord, I will definitely live up to His Majesty's expectations!"
"Okay!" The emperor's eyebrows were filled with joy.
"Although Mrs. Xu is a lady in the boudoir, her heart is with Beizhao, and she has been granted a third-grade imperial edict. Let's draw up a decree." The emperor was very comforted by the saying that thirty years of life can be exchanged for peace and health.
Lu Chaochao raised his ears outside the door [Ah ha ha ha, scumbag dad has been around for thirty-six years, and he only got a fourth-rank official through the shadow of his ancestors. 】
[My mother is now in the third grade and she is going to make my scumbag father angry to death! 】
Xu Yiting's eyes in the imperial study room were unusually confused.
Did he hear a hallucination?
