Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1345

Seeing that her mother-in-law was having a hard time explaining herself, Cen Yuan spoke for her, "Are you afraid that I will rescue the two girls from their family and bring them to my house?"

Tang Chujun's thoughts were exposed, his face turned red, and he said stubbornly, "That's not the case."

Isn't she just worrying and imagining things? Xia'er is lying there and never wakes up. What if the son-in-law softens his heart and wants to accumulate blessings for Xia'er, so he takes the two girls from the Chen family who have committed crimes back to the young master's house to raise them? Wouldn't that be annoying?

Cen Yuan smiled faintly, "Mother, don't worry. I feel upset when I see them. No matter how long Xia'er lies in bed, I will stay with her." He paused, and then said, "And I have a feeling that Xia'er should wake up in the next few days."

Tang Chujun nodded in response, thinking that you had said "just these few days" earlier. However, she couldn't refute her son-in-law's words of encouragement, so she reminded him, "Wear something warmer when you go out, it's going to snow soon."

"I understand, mother." Cen Yuan responded, bowed and took her leave, changed into a thick brocade jacket, got on the carriage, and followed Ma Chuyi to the Dongyuwei's cell.

It turned out that the judgment on the Chen family had been handed down that day. The Chen family's property was confiscated, and Chen Jikang, Yao Fen, and Chen Mengjiao were beheaded for participating in treason.

As for the fourth girl, Chen Mengran, she was sentenced to exile in Mozhou because she did not participate much.

Their family was originally imprisoned in the same cell. After the official read out the sentence, Chen Jikang was the first to burst into tears, "Unfair! I am innocent! Official, I want to see the prince consort! Please tell the prince consort a message..."

Yao Fen's eyes also became distracted. "Yes, yes, yes, find Yuan'er! He won't ignore us! Find Yuan'er!"

Chen Mengjiao leaned against a corner, her expression dull, muttering to herself, "What about the promise that I should serve Brother Yuan? It was promised that Brother Yuan would become paralyzed, and I would take care of him for the rest of his life... well, for the rest of his life..."

Ma Chuyi, the chief of the Dongyu Guard, came to the young master's residence in person and reported Chen Jikang's words to Cen Yuan.

In prison, when Chen Jikang saw Cen Yuan, he burst into tears.

After a year, no, more than half a year, he fell from the clouds to the ground, landing on his head first.

He cried with tears and snot, "Yuan'er, I was wrong! Save me, save our Chen family! Yuan'er..."

Chen Jikang regretted so much that his intestines were broken.

He was fine, why did he become a traitor overnight because of the Li family?

He started out as a merchant, why would he rebel?

He just wanted to cling to the powerful and aristocratic families and gain a foothold in the capital. He never thought of treason!

When Yao Fen, Chen Mengjiao, Chen Mengran and others saw Cen Yuan coming, they all put their heads on the prison bars and looked out.

For a moment, I was filled with mixed feelings.

For a moment, it seemed like a dream.

Cen Yuan looked at Chen Jikang with a cold expression, "Harboring a traitor, kidnapping the mother of an official appointed by the court, and threatening and bribing an official appointed by the court. Which of these do you think is unjust? Which of these is not a serious crime?"

Chen Jikang had figured this out a long time ago. "Did Lord Lu pretend to compromise that day? Yuan'er, why didn't you tell me at that time? If you told me, I would turn back in time. I really would turn back in time."

Cen Yuan stood with his hands behind his back. "You are seeking death, why should I tell you?" He approached Chen Jikang and said through the wooden fence in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "I have people in your Chen family all the time. I know everything you do."

Chen Jikang's entire body seemed to be drained of strength in an instant, "So you just watch me die?"

Cen Yuan thought for a moment, "There was a moment when I wanted to treat you well. Let me think, when was it?" He was silent for a moment, and then he remembered, "When you first came to the capital, you listened to me very much. I remember that you did a good job in handling the letters sent by the Huang family."

Chen Jikang also remembered that day when Huang Wanqian's great-granddaughter Huang Si Ning asked her mother to send a letter to Chen's house, and he really sought to consult his adopted son on everything.
