After the marriage, I married the most treacherous minister of the dynasty

Not long after the two children were one month old, news came from the Anguo Mansion, which had been silent for a long time.

Duke Anguo did not survive and died one night.

The people in the Anguo Mansion didn't want to announce the death, but the weather hadn't gotten cold yet, so they couldn't hide it even if they wanted to.

So, three days later, the news of the death of Duke Anguo was still spread.

Emperor Xuanwu had previously issued an imperial decree that once Duke Anguo died, the title of the Duke Anguo Mansion would be terminated, and now the Duke Anguo Mansion could no longer be called the Duke Anguo Mansion.

The Zheng family completely lost their power. On the day when Duke Anguo passed away, all the Zheng family members were stripped of their official positions. Although it was not directly stated that they were stripped of their official positions, they were asked to rest at home, which was no different from stripping them of their official positions. For a time, the Zheng family members cried sincerely.

On the day of Duke Anguo's funeral, many ministers came to see him off, and the Zheng family knew that this might be the last time so many people came to their house.

Even people from the Lan family came.

Prime Minister Lan and Duke Anguo have always had a good relationship, otherwise they would not have arranged a marriage between Lan Xijing and Zheng Yuzhen.

But later, because of the broken engagement, the two stopped communicating.

Prime Minister Lan lit a stick of incense for Duke Anguo. He glanced at Zheng Yuzhen and saw that he had lost a lot of weight and looked dejected.

He couldn't help but think of his grandson-in-law. He used to think that his grandson-in-law Su was rude, but now he likes him more and more.

He didn't say anything to add insult to injury. He just burned incense and left.

Zheng Yuzhen knew that Prime Minister Lan looked at him for a while. He did not look up, but he felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

After the funeral of Duke Anguo was over, the people of the Zheng family sat together.

Father Zheng looked around and said:

"What are your plans?"

The people from the other rooms sneered and said:

"What do you mean, brother?"

"We have been implicated by your eldest wife and are now in this state. Do you want to just walk away and leave it alone?"

The veins on Mr. Zheng's forehead twitched, but he didn't say anything.

He found someone and smoothed over the relationship these days, and the other party agreed to help him get transferred to another post. At that time, he would not be able to become a high-ranking official, but at most a prefect.

He would definitely not have been interested in an official position like prefect before. He had already been promoted to the position of minister, but now he had no choice.

It is impossible for him to make any achievements in the capital. Now he can only go outside and wait for the new emperor to take the throne to see if there is any opportunity.

However, he no longer held out any hope. Judging from the current situation, the emperor would most likely choose Yan Mingjue.

It’s better not to mention the relationship between their family and Yan Mingjue.

"My father is gone, and it's the same at home now."

"I mean to separate the family."

Father Zheng glanced at everyone and comforted them.

"I'm doing this for your sake."

"It is our eldest wife that the emperor dislikes, not you."

"If you separate from us, you still have a chance of survival."

These words touched the hearts of the other families, but they didn't think that the people in the first family would be so kind.

The others didn't speak, and the one from the second room couldn't help but say:

"If we divide the family, how will we divide it?"

Hearing this, several people's ears perked up.

Yes, how do you divide the family business?

Father Zheng thought for a moment and said:

"The house in the capital naturally belongs to our eldest family, and the other fertile fields, farms, shops and money will be divided later."
