Voice of the heart: Those who are eaten by the real daughter are in bad luck
Chapter 107 Big Melons One After Another
In the Wenhua Palace, the emperor would hear news from the Ministry of Revenue every one or two hours about how much silver had just been collected.
The more he listened, the more he felt that Zhao Jingtian had been getting nothing for so many years, occupying Yun's dowry without doing anything else.
He used his power to seize other people's property and even forced their daughter to death.
The most ridiculous thing is that he actually made a prostitute he kept outside his legal wife. How would others view him?
Where does this place the dignity and etiquette of the aristocratic families?
The honor and title bestowed upon them by their ancestors were not meant to allow them to be so reckless and disregard the law.
Thinking of this, the emperor's eyes suddenly turned cold and he asked him to take the silver back first!
Once all the silver has been collected into the national treasury, other matters can be settled one by one.
Thinking of this, the emperor stared at the memorial with a frown.
We need to make some arrangements to let more people know the power behind this voice.
Once everyone is accustomed to listening to the inner voice, the evidence and information obtained from the inner voice can be used directly.
In the current situation, it would be too troublesome to ask people to collect evidence and let the censor impeach!
He just wants to get the benefits and doesn't want to put in any extra effort.
It would be best if there were a few more Rong Enbo Mansions like this one, so that he wouldn’t have to worry about the empty treasury in the future.
There is no need to kill a lot of people, and those old guys can't cover up for each other... The more the emperor thinks about this voice system, the better it is~
Lu Xinran has been sitting in the mansion eating melons these days, and Cuizhu brings back news every day.
"Did Lord Rong En really empty the warehouse in his mansion?"
Cuizhu nodded brightly, "I heard that Madam Bo's private storehouse was also emptied, and she has been crying in the mansion these past two days.
"I also heard that the families of the two daughters-in-law of the Lord have sent capable maids to the Lord's mansion, fearing that the Lord and his wife would run out of money and snatch the daughters-in-law's dowries away."
Lu Xinran's eyes suddenly lit up. She had actually forgotten about this!
The Rong Enbo Mansion has a criminal record. They are so skilled in robbing women's dowries. Who knows if they have done such dirty things in the past.
This melon is good. Even if it is not known through the system, as long as it is a melon, it should be able to increase health points!
She blinked her big eyes and her fair cheeks flushed slightly with joy.
"Has all the money been paid?"
"As if that wasn't enough, His Majesty sent people to the Bo's mansion and took away some of the precious furnishings in the mansion, saying that they were used to pay off the debt."
Cuizhu laughed very happily when she talked about this.
She used to be a maid in the old lady's courtyard. Although she had never stayed in the Zhao family's courtyard, the aristocratic families always shared the same fate. The enemies of the eldest lady were their enemies.
Things have gotten so bad that naturally the worse the other party suffers, the happier they are.
Lu Xinran burst out laughing. All the things in the mansion had been taken away. What's the difference between this and a house search?
"Don't be reluctant to spend money. Send someone to sit at the door of the Bo's house again. If you encounter anything fun again, you must send someone back quickly."
Cuizhu responded with a smile, then turned around happily to find someone to make arrangements.
Tracy looked at them, thought of what Aunt Xu had said, and shook her head helplessly.
Of course one cannot enjoy the fun alone. Lu Xinran suppressed the smile with great difficulty and asked Tracy to help her change her clothes and tie her hair. She was going to the grandmother's home.
The news that she could hear had naturally been received by Pei Shi long ago.
Seeing her granddaughter's excited look, she happily listened to it again.
"Grandmother, do you think the Rong Enbo Mansion is finished this time?"
Pei smiled and said, "I heard that someone reported Lord Rong En to the court this morning, saying that he disregarded the rules of propriety and did not cultivate his moral integrity, and asked Your Majesty to take away his title."
"Took away the title?"
Lu Xinran's eyes widened, "Taking away the lady's dowry, is this a serious matter?"
It is not easy for women to survive in this world, and many have their dowries taken away by their husband’s families.
No matter how angry she was, she had to admit that women's status was too low and those imperial censors would not and would not bother to speak for a woman.
Pei was slightly stunned when she heard her inner voice.
"He was the one who made his concubine his legal wife. You can see this as... an infringement on the foundation of the family."
How could he be allowed to trample upon the dignity of the aristocratic family like this?
No woman from a wealthy family would be willing to be on an equal footing with someone who came from a prostitute family.
Even if the other person is also a woman.
Born in the dust, you should just be an ordinary person honestly.
This time it was Lu Xinran who stared at Pei in a daze. Although she was simply eccentric, it didn't mean that she didn't understand many things.
On the contrary, in the previous life, when people were extremely bored and lying on the hospital bed, they would think about many things.
Although she understood many principles, she still felt inexplicably suffocated when it hit her head on.
"But……"
She wanted to say that it was normal for Tao to want to climb up the social ladder and climb out of the mud. In this time and space, there was no such thing as a bad person's marriage being unacceptable to heaven. Even without her, there would be someone else who would win Zhao Jingtian's heart.
This is the sadness of the times, not just the Yun family's.
Tao should never, ever do such a thing. She should not use any means to climb up the social ladder, and she should not show her viciousness to Yun, who is also a woman.
But these seem too complicated.
She herself was almost dizzy.
Looking at the little girl with confused eyes, Pei smiled wryly.
"If you can't figure it out, just put it aside. When you reach your grandmother's age, you'll understand everything."
Lu Xinran nodded in confusion. Some topics were too heavy. Even Pei, who also came from a noble family, didn't want to think about them, and neither did she.
She took a deep breath, forced herself to smile, and changed the subject.
"Grandmother, if Lord Rong En is stripped of his title, then he and his son..."
"The Bo Mansion is gone, so of course everyone will blame him. Everything he and his son and daughter have done will be dug up."
"Really?"
Wouldn't that mean that Zhao Kaiyan's cheating in the imperial examination and Zhao Kailue's beastly behavior would be discovered?
Unfortunately, all her attention was on Zhao Jingtian and his son that day. She should have taken the opportunity to look at all the members of the Zhao family.
Listening to her voice that alternated between joy and regret, Pei chuckled.
"Don't worry, everything that needs to be settled will be settled."
The emperor has already received the benefits, so he will naturally do the work for the money.
Moreover, being connected with the prince should have touched the emperor's bottom line. Perhaps in his opinion, it was Zhao Jingtian who led his eldest prince astray.
She couldn't tell her the details of the matter now, but when things became clearer, she would tell her everything.
Lu Xinran had lunch at Pei's place and then returned to his own yard.
As soon as he entered the door, Cuizhu, who had heard the news again, came to greet him.
"Young lady, there is news coming from the Marquis's Mansion. The Marquis's wife ran to the Ministry of Revenue and cried, kneeling on the ground and begging the adults and His Majesty to show some leniency."
Lu Xinran: “?!!”
What to do? She wanted to go out and watch the fun. How could a second-hand melon taste better than a first-hand one?
