After reading my mind, Daddy, why don't you smile?

The next day.

Shangguan Shu did not go to court, but was writing alone in his study.

However, after the morning court session, news came from the palace.

Hu Yanxue's death sentence was pardoned, but he was sent to the inner prison and imprisoned for a year for the crime of being disrespectful to Princess Chengqian.

The theory of evildoers was completely disproven.

The character "颖" written by Shangguan Shu just ended it.

The pen moves quickly and is full of domineering power.

Ying... Zhao Ying...

Shangguan Shu's lips curled slightly.

At this time, Zhao Ying slowly stood up from the ground.

It snowed last night and it's very cold outside.

But not as cold as her heart.

Zhao Yao, wearing a hat, passed by her and whispered in her ear, "Sister, thank you for pleading for Xue'er!"

The smug, sarcastic words pierced her heart like an icicle.

Last night, Princess Huai'an did not make a fuss when she learned about this.

Is she sure someone will help her?

Zhao Ying laughed at herself.

An hour ago, Shangguan Zhu and Shangguan Dan pleaded for Hu Yanxue, saying that there must be an injustice in this case and asked the emperor to re-examine the case.

Emperor Jianxi would certainly not agree, but this was not what they wanted.

Immediately afterwards, the official historian of the Imperial Observatory hanged himself at home, Master Yuanzhuang passed away, and wrote the word "shame" before his death... Even the opera troupe that performed in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion last night was silenced.

It's obvious someone is trying to cover up something.

That would prove that there is indeed a hidden story behind this much-talked-about evil.

This is beautifully done!

The beauty of the case lies in the fact that this doubt overturned the entire case.

If we really want to keep a few of them to be punished, I'm afraid that the good things Huai'an has done will also be exposed!

But they died.

The truth was hidden, but the doubts were exposed.

Soon after, the followers of the Duke of Zhenguo came out to give advice, and most of the ministers in the court and the public knelt down, saying that Huyan Xue was wronged... and the matter was settled.

Zhao Ying didn't believe that this matter had nothing to do with Shangguan Shu.

For the first time, she witnessed the horror of this traitor.

This is her husband, the man beside her.

In an instant, she lost all hope.

Is it true that the Zhao family is beyond redemption?

Wei Ju walked out of the hall, "Princess, please stay!"

Zhao Ying looked back and said, "Uncle..."

"I dare not... But Princess, it is freezing cold. Why would you disobey Your Majesty for a barbarian?"

Wei Ju's eyes were filled with concern for Zhao Ying.

Zhao Ying's eyes were slightly red, and all kinds of feelings surged into her heart. She seemed to be telling her relatives that the Shangguan family were traitors, and they should not be trusted, but should be on guard against them and find ways to disintegrate their power!

However, she had no evidence, and she was afraid that the news would leak out, which would make Shangguan Shu alert.

Fortunately, although the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion was extremely powerful, it only held one-third of the military power. Another one-third was in the hands of Wei Ju, and the remaining one-third was held by Emperor Jianxi himself.

Even if Shangguan Shu wanted to force his way through, it would be difficult to succeed.

Zhao Ying forced back her tears, "Uncle, I raised Xue'er after all, I can't bear to see her die like this."

Wei Ju looked at her with dismay, "You, you! You are so kind, but you let a little Huai'an put pressure on you!"

"It's okay. Since we are sisters, we shouldn't worry too much."

Seeing that he could not persuade him, Wei Ju changed the subject, "Your cousin A Fu just won a victory and will be returning to the capital. Wait for him to come back and make the decision for you. See if Shangguan Shu still dares to favor Huai An and bully you all day long!"

"Yeah." Zhao Ying nodded with emotion.

At the same time, I felt much more relaxed.

Cousin Wei Fu and she grew up together, and they trust each other deeply. If he comes back, she will still have someone she can confide in.

After Zhao Ying finished chatting with Wei Ju, he said goodbye to his uncle and got on the carriage.

There was a charcoal fire burning in the carriage, and Shangguan Qingyue was being held on Houzhu's lap, eating hot chestnuts.

When the little guy saw her coming in, he immediately dropped the chestnuts and fell into her arms.

[Mother, are you cold? Yue'er will warm you up.]

The little guy held one of Zhao Ying's hands in both of his hands, and his body was like a little fireball.

Zhao Ying felt relieved. Looking at Shangguan Qingyue, she thought that although Huyan Xue was not in trouble, Yue'er did not have to be sent away. No one would say that her Yue'er was a demon child anymore.

It’s not in vain!

Zhao Ying held Shangguan Qingyue in his arms and urged the coachman.

The carriage slowly drove away from the palace.

Wei Ju happened to pass by, and Shangguan Qingyue saw him through the crack in the window.

He was riding a tall horse, wearing a crimson purple official uniform, his temples were gray, his eyes were bright, and he exuded a solemn and fierce aura.

Shangguan Qingyue threw a peeled chestnut into his mouth.

[Is this my uncle Wei Ju? He really has a good temperament, what a pity...]

Zhao Ying perked up.

[A person who is destined to have no descendants will lose his offspring even if he tries to have them! Moreover, because he defied the will of heaven and changed his fate, he must bear the corresponding consequences...]

[Hmm... in a few days, my grandson will fall into the river and drown. ]

Zhao Ying lifted the curtains and wanted to call Wei Ju to remind him, but the next second, [He deserves this retribution! After all, the little grandson was born by him and his daughter-in-law... Hehe, green hat, everyone has a green hat... Hehe]

Zhao Ying pursed her lips and blinked.

Pickpocketing...Yue'er really knows a lot!

Keep going!

In order not to disturb her little daughter, Zhao Ying peeled chestnuts and fed them to her one by one.

It turns out that you have to be paid to listen to gossip!

[It’s not that the younger son of my uncle’s family is infertile, but… he has a crush on the older son of my uncle’s family. He buried his love deep in his heart and dared not express it out loud. He couldn’t get it, so he even bought an outside business and raised a little boy who looks like my eldest cousin! ]

what?

Wei Yuan has a crush on Wei Fu?

Ahhhhhhh she must be blind, she grew up with them and yet she didn't realize it!

Zhao Ying still wanted to listen, so she continued to "put coins" into Shangguan Qingyue's mouth, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get any coins in.

Beside him, Hou Zhu exclaimed in surprise: “Princess, you can’t stuff it in anymore!”

Hearing the voice, Zhao Ying lowered her head and saw the little fellow puffing up his cheeks, looking at her resentfully like a little hamster.

Poor and cute.

Zhao Ying felt so distressed that she reached out and took the chestnut out of her mouth. "It's mother's fault. Spit it out, Yue'er."

After half coaxing and half digging, the little guy's mouth was empty.

Zhao Ying fed him some more water.

[Ah! Mother is always so confused... No wonder she was deceived so badly...]

The little guy looked sad.

Zhao Ying laughed at them all.

But the next second, she couldn't laugh anymore.

[She must have thought that her uncle was a good person, right?]

Huh? Isn't it?

[But he is in the same group with Daddy! ]
