The lady of Chongxi has supernatural powers and is favored by the powerful official

"what!"

Zhu Zhenliang became angry upon hearing this.

He looked down upon Nangong Su. Although he was a marquis, he did not have the same aura as his father.

Moreover, when he comes to eat at my house, he has to sit below me because he is my son-in-law.

Although Zhu Xinlan is his daughter, according to Zhu Zhenliang's rules, Zhu Xinlan is a concubine.

A marquis came to him and was so humble for a concubine. This made Zhu Zhenliang look down on him.

Of course, if the Marquis knew that this gentleman whom he respected as his in-laws and uncle looked at him this way, I wonder what he would think.

But now, the man who had always been filial to me dared to detain my wife. This was treason!

Zhu Zhenliang was furious and looked at his son:

"Tell me in detail, what is it? Why did your mother go to the Marquis' Mansion when she was not at home?"

Master Zhu Sanye knew that his grandfather didn't care about what was going on outside and might not even know that the bridal sedan was in the wrong place that day.

So, he told Zhu Zhenliang everything he knew, added some of his speculations, and said that the Zhu family was very wronged in this matter.

Zhu Zhenliang was furious when he heard this:

"How dare he! You bastard! Not to mention for Lan'er's sake, your mother is also his aunt, how dare he detain her!"

"Dad, it's not a matter of whether they dare or not. They have already detained him, and now they want us to pay money to redeem him."

As he spoke, he exaggerated what Shuqi had said. As expected, the ministers became even more furious:

"Come here, prepare the car, I want to go to the Marquis' Mansion in person."

The assistant ministers usually do not enter the marquis's mansion.

He is a strange person. He eats, wears and relies on the Marquis's mansion, but he always wants the world to see that he is avoiding suspicion.

Therefore, over the years, he rarely went to the Marquis's Mansion in person. The last time he went to the Marquis's Mansion was when the old Marquis's wife celebrated her 60th birthday.

As the brother of his mother, he should sit in the upper seat. Naturally, he should come.

This kind of person is the kind of person who is both responsible and insolent. But now, he was furious and ready to find Nangong Su.

Master Zhu San hurriedly stopped his father:

"Dad, who are you? You are his uncle, the great uncle of Nangong Yu. Now Nangong Yu refuses to acknowledge his relationship with you. You don't need to step in. I think it's better to let my eldest brother go."

After hearing this, the assistant ministers calmed down. They didn't seem to dare to argue with the Marquis. If the eldest brother can go, then let him go. If the Nangong family really detained Jiang, then let the censors punish them tomorrow.

The adults sat down again:

"Where's your elder brother?"

Master Zhu San said again:

"You have to come forward and talk to Big Brother about this. You know Big Brother has never looked down on me as someone who only manages the daily affairs."

The adults slammed the table heavily:

"Bullshit, don't I know what he's thinking? It's just that his wife wants to be the housekeeper."

Because Mr. Zhu attached great importance to those rules, the Zhu family has not yet divided the family even after his grandsons got married.

Lord Zhu said that as long as he is alive, this family will never be separated.

Of course, if they were not separated, everyone would want to take a bite of the public middle, but in fact, most of what was in the public middle was given by the Marquis' Mansion.

Each son had to hand over 70% of his salary, and 30% was left for the family.

The family that lived the best was the third brother's family.

Originally, the third brother was in charge of general affairs, so he had much more money in his hands. Even if he secretly deducted a little, it was still better than the salary his two older brothers received.

The third son's wife was not the daughter of an official family, but the daughter of a wealthy businessman in the capital. The wealthy businessman also used the name of the official family to run his business, and the family was attracted by the money of the wealthy businessman.

So, it can be considered as collusion between officials and businessmen.

The third son of the Zhu family is the most likable in front of Lord Zhu. Firstly, Lord Zhu feels that he is the only son without an official position, and he feels a little sorry for him.

Secondly, Master Zhu wanted to do something outside, and he was short of money. Jiang was a person who valued money very much, so the third son would show some respect to his father from time to time, making Master Zhu feel that the third son was the most filial.

The eldest brother's wife always wants to be the head of the household, and if she is in charge of the household, she can manage some of the family finances.

The eldest son's wife was actually chosen by Jiang. She was the daughter of Jiang's sister. However, this daughter-in-law was very cunning. She thought that her life would be easier if she married into her aunt's family. However, she didn't know that Jiang was a famous stingy person who was stingy to everyone.

"Someone, go and call the master over."

Mr. Zhu naturally called his eldest son to talk about it. This matter was not a small matter. It was impossible to ask the Zhu family to pay back the fifty or sixty thousand silver coins. That would be bleeding the Zhu family.

So, Boss Zhu was called to the study. After hearing the whole story, he felt a little panicked:

"Third brother, what did Nangong Yu give to the Ministry of Justice? I don't even know about it in the Ministry of Justice."

"How would I know? They said it was some evidence of our family's actions, how would I know what it was? Anyway, I didn't do anything related to your officialdom, I don't care, but now my mother is being held by them, along with some servants, and they won't let us go without money."

The adults slapped the table and said:

"Let's go pick up your mother first. It's not a good idea to go to someone else's house and not come back so late at night."

Zhu Lao Da and Zhu Lao San came out of their house and got on the carriage again. Zhu Lao Da's thoughts drifted away. He tried to recall what he had done. Was there anything that could be used to accuse others?

After receiving the instructions, the third brother looked at his eldest brother and knew what he was thinking:

"Don't worry. After I got the news, I immediately found someone to suppress the matter. It will be fine for the time being. Let's go get mom out first. If we can't get her out, we will go to the palace gate to file a complaint tomorrow."

Ah!

The eldest brother's thoughts were pulled back by the third brother's words:

"What did you say?"

Some couldn't believe their ears!

Zhu Laosan's eyes were bright, for he knew that his eldest brother could not bring his mother back, and the curfew would be coming soon. Tomorrow, tomorrow would be the time to file a complaint to the emperor.

Zhu Laoda stared at Zhu Laosan with wide eyes and said:

"What do you mean by suing the emperor? Do you think it's so easy to sue the emperor?"

If you want to file a real complaint to the emperor, you have to go through the nail board. Those who go through the nail board will either die or have only a breath of fresh air left.

Besides, I just had some arguments and disputes with the Marquis's Mansion. Is it necessary to take it as serious as filing a complaint with the Emperor?

Is the third brother crazy?

Zhu Lao Da thought so, but when he saw Zhu Lao San's eyes, he could see that he was ambitious. It was as if he thought that filing a complaint with the emperor was a matter of supreme honor.

Zhu Lao San said calmly:

"We are not really going to file a complaint with the emperor. Of course, if they do something to me, we can go, and we just need to do this and that in front of the court officials before the morning court tomorrow!"
