Mind reading, the emperor saw my fist hard

The Pingyang Marquis's mansion was in decline at that time and they even had trouble getting food, so his mother found a wife for Pingyang Marquis who came from a very wealthy family.

The first wife of Marquis Pingyang married into the Marquis Pingyang's mansion with a dowry of one million taels. At that time, Marquis Pingyang was still the crown prince and had another love in his heart.

Unfortunately, under pressure from the old Marquis of Pingyang, he still married his first wife.

The wife became pregnant a few months after entering the marquis's mansion, and eventually died of complications during childbirth. In total, she didn't even live two years.

Most people in the capital don’t know that the current wife of Marquis Pingyang is the second wife.

With the help of his first wife's dowry and his own hard work, the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion gradually gained momentum and became what it is today.

wrong!

Marquis Qingyang's heart moved. With the precedent of Zuodu Yushi Xia Wenjun killing his wife and taking her property, Marquis Qingyang had to think more.

Could it be that the original wife of Marquis Pingyang did not die of natural causes, but was killed by someone?

The more Marquis Qingyang thought about it, the more it made sense, and he looked at Xu Jinyu obscurely.

Like Marquis Qingyang, those who remembered that Marquis Pingyang had a original wife also looked at Xu Jinyu implicitly.

They hope Lord Xu can be more helpful and find out the cause of death of Marquis Pingyang’s original wife. Did she die of childbirth complications? They are almost dying of curiosity.

【I go! 】

[This elder brother is really miserable. He grew up in a remote courtyard with only an old servant to take care of him. After the old servant passed away, a young servant with a not very smart brain was sent to him.]

[Besides, this servant is younger than him, how can he take care of him? In the past two years, his family has cut off his food supply, so he can only take the servant out to find food. ]

[A legitimate son of a marquisate who can't read, is in poor health, and can't do manual labor, this brother can only come to the Taoist temple, at least the knowledge he learned in the nine years of compulsory education can still be of some use.]

[It is really hard to judge the Marquis of Pingyang. Could it be that this son is not his biological son?]

The officials looked at Marquis Pingyang with even more contempt, and some of them even spat at him while Xu Jinyu lowered his head.

After all, they are a powerful family, but they treat their own son like this. Ordinary people would not be so slow to their own sons.

The next moment, Xu Jinyu's voice was filled with relief: [It's my biological child! ]

[Then why did he treat his own son like this? 】

Yes, why?

Everyone craned their necks.

"Oh, the sun is about to set. Let's go back and find the doctor. We can't let anything happen to our brother."

Xu Jinyu looked up at the sky, then quickly called Cao Kuan and the imperial guards back to the capital.

In ancient times, the area outside the city was not very safe, even the area outside the capital was not very safe.

He turned around and called out to the officials, "What are you doing here at Yuquan Temple?"

"Huh! I was so shocked to see Wei Chaowan's background that I didn't even greet the officials."

[These people won’t make things difficult for me for this, right?]

Officials: Who dares to make things difficult for you? You think you have lived too long.

Didn’t you see that the entire family of Zuodu Yushi was locked up in jail?

Why don’t you tell us why Marquis Pingyang treated his son like that!

No matter what they think in their hearts, the officials still have to answer Xu Jinyu's questions on the surface.

"I was just relaxing in the suburbs when I heard a loud noise and came to see what happened."

An official with a gray beard said.

"I came to the suburbs to race horses."

"I came to the suburbs to enjoy the flowers."

·······

Xu Jinyu couldn't help but twitch his lips when he heard this answer.

[Are there so few entertainment options in ancient times? A bunch of officials are forced to run out of the city in the afternoon.]

Not a few, not a few!

There were many entertainment activities in ancient times, but not many were suitable for women. Moreover, no entertainment activity could be as fun as the gossip here by Lord Xu.

"Son!"

A loud shout startled everyone present.

Xu Jinyu was concentrating on looking at the system and was also startled by the voice.

When I looked up, I saw a middle-aged man reaching out his hand to Wei An who was on the back of the Imperial Guard.

Xu Jinyu widened her eyes in surprise.

[This is Wei An's father. We have been here for so long before we recognized our son. We are really not very familiar with our son.]

Cao Kuan, he didn't even recognize his eldest son just now. If it weren't for your voice, who would have known that this was the son of Marquis Pingyang.

The officials also looked at Marquis Pingyang with great interest. What was Marquis Pingyang going to do? He didn't want to play the role of a loving father and a filial son, did he?

That requires everyone to believe it!

With Lord Xu here, everyone knows what your fart smells like.

"Son! You have suffered."

With tears in his eyes, Marquis Pingyang looked at the young man on the back of the imperial guard with a look of heartache.

"This is my son. I will take him to the doctor right away. He is still young."

As he said this, he was about to take the young man from the guard's back.

The guard dodged the hand of Pingyang Hou.

"Lord Wei, this young emperor is useful, you don't need to interfere."

Since Lady Xu said that this young man is her fellow villager, we must treat him with caution. Perhaps this young man can bring something different to Daqian.

We can’t let this bastard Pingyang Hou cause any more trouble.

“My son needs treatment.”

Marquis Pingyang emphasized that the child must be returned to his hands.

"rest assured."

The guard raised an eyebrow, “The imperial physician in the palace is the best in the world, Marquis Pingyang does not need to worry.

As the emperor's personal guards, the Imperial Guards were usually a little intimidated by Marquis Pingyang, but the situation was different now.

[Fuck! This old Biden wants to kill people and silence them, leaving no evidence.]

Xu Jinyu's voice was like thunder that woke up the officials present. No one expected that Pingyang Hou could be so cruel. He did not want to think about how to appease his son, but wanted to kill his son directly.

Pingyang Hou’s original wife was definitely killed by Pingyang Hou, there is no doubt about it.

This young man is dead and there is no evidence. Marquis Pingyang can say whatever he wants and Your Majesty cannot pursue the matter.

Seeing this, Marquis Qingyang stepped forward and shouted coldly: "Lord Wei, this child is the one that His Majesty wants, don't stop him."

After the Marquis of Qingyang stopped him, the guard who was carrying Wei Chaowan on his back dodged and quickly walked to the front of the carriage and put Wei An into it.

Cao Kuan also picked up Xu Jinyu and stuffed her into the carriage. He cracked the whip and the carriage headed towards the capital.

At the gate of the Taoist temple, Marquis Pingyang wanted to chase after him but was stopped by the officials behind him.

"Brother Wei, did you really kill your first wife?"

After Xu Jinyu left, everyone started speaking impolitely.

"Lord Wei, your first wife's family has been severely oppressed over the years. It must be your fault. Otherwise, your son would not have ended up in a Taoist temple."

"How cruel! He even killed his own son."

“Tsk, tsk, tsk!”

·······

Faced with these people's malicious inquiries, Pingyang Hou did not lose his composure, but said with a sullen face: "I did not kill my wife."

"Then what Lord Xu said about you wanting to kill your own son can't be false!"

Pingyang Hou's expression was even calmer: "I don't like him, I just think about him, but I can't think about him anymore."

"you······"

The official questioning the case was at a loss for words.

The official immediately smiled and said, "It's okay for you to deny it to me. I hope you can do the same to His Majesty."
