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

Chapter 542

He didn't dare! When he saw a beautiful woman outside, he would just glance at her. Before going home, he had to wipe his eyes clean, otherwise his wife would be able to find clues from it, which would be terrible.

No wonder his wife was born in the year of the dog... Well, I am getting off topic. Anyway, the emperor wanted to severely punish Shi Chengxuan for favoring his concubine and ignoring his wife.

However, since Shi Chengxuan's parents had just passed away, although he could be exempted from severe punishment, he still needed to be dismissed from his post and given twenty strokes of the cane.

Moreover, they should be beaten in public to serve as a warning to others.

Second, human trafficking has always been severely punished by the government, especially the trafficking of relatives within the family, which is the top priority.

Zhao Liren opened the file and studied it, and then went to the prison to investigate. He was sure that the evidence was complete and the case could be decided directly.

But doing so would certainly lead to all kinds of speculation about Shi Anxia's ten years of wandering, which would probably not be good for the girl's reputation.

Zhao Liren immediately sent someone to invite Shi Anxia.

Shi Anxia said frankly that Lord Zhao should just do his job impartially and not worry too much.

So, the notice was posted, and the next day, Wen Huiyi was executed by lingchi outside the gate of Jingzhao Prefecture. At the same time, the notice also mentioned that Shi Chengxuan favored his concubine and killed his wife, and he was sentenced to 20 strokes of the cane.

When Chengxuan heard the news, he felt numb.

Now, he has lost his father, mother, and wife. His son finally won the first place in the imperial examination, but because of this funeral, he doesn't have to take part in the palace examination.

He felt that he was extremely unlucky, completely hopeless, like a walking corpse.

Tang Chujun had a lot of things to consider at this moment, but the most urgent task was his children's marriage.

The rule in Beiyi is that if an elderly person in the family passes away, the children and grandchildren must either get married within a month or observe mourning for three years before getting married.

But getting married within a month...it's really too hasty.

Her daughter hasn't even reached the age of marriage yet, this, this, this... the old man passed away at such an inappropriate time. He did all kinds of stupid things when he was alive, how come he is still such a hindrance after he's gone?

Zheng Qiaoer suggested, "Let's first ask Qi'er and Xia'er what they plan to do. If they are willing to get married within a month, it will definitely be better than waiting three years. Miss Wei is already sixteen years old. If she waits another three years, she will be nineteen years old. How hard it will be."

Tang Chujun nodded. Now she was no longer too worried about the King of Jin’s “destined one”.

The Empress Dowager has been imprisoned in Xishan, who else would come to make trouble?

Besides, Emperor Mingde was a wise ruler who valued her children very much. He would never arrange a marriage for them knowing that her children were already married.

However, Tang Chujun still decided to call his children to ask them.

Now Tang Chujun still lives in Haitang Courtyard and has not moved out. It was Shi Chengxuan who came to beg her to save his face for the time being to prevent outsiders from talking about him.

Tang Chujun agreed, but did not wear mourning clothes and stayed in the Begonia Courtyard without going out.

With Yu Sujun taking care of things outside, even if others thought that Tang Chujun had some grudges in his heart, it did not cause much discussion.

After all, a mother-in-law who has been with someone else's son for 16 years would not be in a good mood. If she pretended to cry at this moment, people would say she was being pretentious.

Tang Chujun then called his son and daughter to ask, "What do you think about getting married?"

Shi Yunqi said, "Son, go ask Miss Wei and her family what they think. If they are willing to keep things simple, son will get married within a month."

Tang Chujun looked at his daughter, "Xia'er, what about you?"

Shi Anxia thought for a moment and said, "My daughter should also ask Cen Yuan and see what he says."

When she was looking for Cen Yuan in the mansion, he was just coming back from outside.

Shi Anxia stood under the pear tree in mourning clothes, waiting for him to approach, and asked directly, "Qingyu, do you want to get married within a month, or three..."

"Within a month." Before the little girl could finish her words, Cen Yuan's burning eyes fell on her porcelain-like face.
