Standing together through thick and thin

Chapter 129 She Can Only Be a Concubine

In the court hall, impeachers sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain. What Shao Ruide had done in the past has now become his fatal wound.

He has been a general for so long, and he can always sit firmly in this position, which shows that his methods are not ordinary. At the same time, he is not really so innocent. , How can you stand firm if you don't have any skills?How could Qin Shoufu like him and make him his son-in-law?Emperor Jing Hong even almost let him succeed in being named a noble.

But now, under such circumstances, Shao Ruide has nothing to say.

Since these people dare to impeach him, it means that they already have sufficient evidence.

In his early years, he didn't understand anything, he was a reckless man, and he had no energy to fight against the Nanman. Sometimes he would do things that violated his own morality for selfishness and survival. Speaking of which, he was just an ordinary person.

I was injured once, in my mind, I forgot about the past, and it was not until these two years that I slowly recalled it, but it was not very clear.But he knew that he was determined to leave back then, otherwise he wouldn't have stolen other people's hearts after knowing the truth and left his wife and children alone. He couldn't remember what his wife and children looked like in his memory. It is silently following behind him, everything needs his protection, and his child, he also forgot, it seems to be a pair of little Douding, I don't know what is going on now, he has never even sent a letter for so many years He has been there, and he has long forgotten about it. If he hadn't mentioned it today, he would not have remembered that he had a wife before.

Now being pointed out so blatantly, he really doesn't know what to do?

He can have today's status, and there are countless reasons he left behind.

Later, he gradually learned to clean up the evidence, but it has been too long since the previous one, and he can't remember whether he did it or not.

Emperor Hongjing looked at Shao Ruide coldly, his sharp eyebrows and eyes twitched together, as if he still couldn't believe it, "General Shao, are you convicted?"

At this time, no explanation is useless. Shao Ruide glanced in Qin Shoufu's direction, and immediately knelt down to confess, "Minister..."

"Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance, and it needs to be verified before making a conclusion." Qin Shoufu stood up, "What's more, there is no evidence now, who knows if this is pouring dirty water on the general?"

As soon as Qin Shoufu stood up, the surroundings of Chaotang immediately fell silent. He glanced at the people around him, and those officials who only knew how to fan the flames all lowered their heads.General Shao is Qin Shoufu's son-in-law, and he has always been highly regarded by him. Now that something like this happened, how could he just watch being attacked without taking any action?

Emperor Hongjing set his eyes on Qin Shoufu, and then glanced at Wu Yingzhi beside him with lowered eyebrows.

Wu Yingzhi was in his thirties, tall and slender, with a handsome appearance, gentle and elegant, but at such a young age, he was already a cabinet scholar and the head of the Sixth Academy.

He has been at odds with Qin Shoufu, who is one level higher than him.

After the emperor's teacher's accident, he was not affected in any way, and he even sat firmly on the position of a cabinet scholar. It's not that Qin Shoufu never dealt with him, but this man is slippery, and the queen mother is behind it , even the emperor kept Wu Yingzhi in order to check and balance. He couldn't catch Wu Yingzhi's pigtails. Except for the emperor's teacher, he couldn't find others, but the biggest hidden danger had no effect on him at all. Let him continue to be arrogant.

"Qi Zou Emperor, I happen to have a piece of evidence here, proving that General Shao's embezzlement of military pay and neglect of defense led to the massacre of Tongshan Town. You can send someone to check." Wu Yingzhi submitted the memorial in his hand.

As for his crime of abandoning the dross and disregarding stopping his wife to marry another family, he doesn't need to talk about it, just go and investigate it. This kind of thing can't hurt him fundamentally. In addition, he also believes that Dali Temple is more suitable for investigation. Regarding other people's family affairs, he, a minister in the court, cannot always stare at other people's family affairs.

The evidence in his hand was given by King Jing, and the evidence had already been wiped out at that time, and the evidence given by King Jing was considered the only one, and he ended up doing it himself.

Emperor Hongjing looked at the evidence Wu Yingzhi gave him, and his face became more and more ugly.

At the end, he threw the evidence on the ground, "Look for yourselves!"

"Do you still feel that you have been wronged?"

Qin Shoufu picked up the evidence on the ground and glanced at it, but didn't make another sound.

Shao Ruide looked at the evidence on the ground, but his face changed drastically.

In an instant, Emperor Hongjing stopped looking at the two of them, and immediately ordered Shao Ruide to be put in prison for trial, and then he felt too angry and retreated away.

Seeing Shao Ruide being taken down, Wu Yingzhi sighed slightly inwardly, and glanced at Qin Shoufu.

Qin Shoufu had a decent smile on his face, it seemed that what happened just now didn't affect him, the harshness hidden in his smile disappeared, and he no longer spoke for General Shao.

"Master Wu, good trick!" Qin Shoufu gritted his teeth, just a few steps away, his son-in-law would be able to obtain the unique and supreme position, but once today's incident happens, there will be no chance.

"I don't know what Lord Shoufu is referring to?" Wu Yingzhi asked politely.

"Let's see!" Qin Shoufu said coldly, then strode away.

That night, Qin Shoufu went to see Shao Ruide in the prison.

On the rising sun, Qin Shoufu went to the palace to meet Emperor Hongjing alone, and the two chatted privately for a whole day before Qin Shoufu returned home.

A few days later, the emperor didn't say anything to send Shao Ruide down. The next day, Wu Yingzhi heard the news that Shao Ruide was dismissed from the sky prison and went home to contemplate his mistakes behind closed doors, and his life was safe.

Wu Yingzhi was at home, sitting firmly on Mount Tai. No matter how noisy the staff below were, he already knew that this would be the result, and this was what the emperor wanted, so he was not surprised, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

Shao Ruide dropped the cup immediately when he got home!

The cup shattered to the ground with a slap, and his face was quite ugly.

Qin came over and comforted: "Sir, it doesn't matter, if you keep the green hills, you don't have to worry about running out of firewood. As long as your life is safe, you will have a chance to make a comeback."

"A comeback? Oh, with such a crime, I will no longer be reused by the emperor. Even if I can continue to be an official, I don't have real power!"

"It took a lot of effort for Mr. Xianggong to keep this life. Who would think about those officials and powers? If ordinary people are charged with such crimes, can they come back with all their tails? And Don't worry too, Mr. Father, he has always taken a fancy to you, so he won't really let you go and let you be an official without real power, but our road may be more difficult in the future." Qin held her hand Shao Ruide's hand, "Of course, I will also accompany you, my husband."

Shao Ruide thought of Qin Shoufu running around for him in the past few days, but in the end he didn't say anything: "Well, I understand, my father-in-law is doing it for my own good."

Shao Ruide originally wanted to mention something in his heart, but when he heard what Qin said, he couldn't say it anymore. His background had been found out, and he was even presented directly in front of everyone, so he couldn't ignore it.

However, Qin thought of him so much, and gave birth to a son and a daughter for him. The son is smart and the daughter is lively and cute. He is very satisfied. Now that his former wife and son have appeared, if he makes people live outside again, Even if he is already white, he will be sprayed to death.

So he had to come back without picking them up.

But he has to pretend that he has lost his memory, and still doesn't remember them.

This is what his father-in-law told him so that he could make sense of it.

He also thinks this is the best way, but how should he talk to Qin in this situation?

How can we not make Qin Shi sad?

Seeing Shao Ruide's silence, Mrs. Qin asked first, "Sir, do you remember what happened in the past?" Mrs. Qin looked at Shao Ruide, seeing a look of surprise flashing across Shao Ruide's face, and said again: "I heard that the day was up This matter has to be resolved, after all, they are also Xianggong’s children, no matter what we can’t let Xianggong’s heirs wander outside, why don’t we take them home!”

Shao Ruide looked at Qin Shi in surprise, "You, you, aren't you angry? I, I didn't remember them at first, but what they said...is true, and I don't know if it's true or not, Do I really have children living outside?"

Seeing Shao Ruide's ignorant look, Qin smiled slightly, seeing through his disguise.

However, since you don't remember, then don't remember, because that's better, and if you don't remember, you will only focus on her alone, not to mention, a village woman can't be compared with her, the daughter of the chief minister ?

She also got the news that the village woman has been tortured to the point of being like an old woman. On the contrary, she is still young and beautiful. The imprints left behind are all gone, his body is as smooth as tofu, his face is like a peeled egg, his whole person looks younger, more charming and mature, and Shao Ruide also sleeps in her room every night, he has never treated her so warmly before, She only stays in her room for more than a dozen days a month, and now she has almost never had intercourse except for a few days when she was a child. With her like this, she still has to worry about being favored by an old woman and a village woman?

She doesn't care what her husband was like before, she just hates that she didn't get her husband back, so that the ignorant village woman got her husband's favor and gave birth to two stupid sons. The village woman married Shao Ruide, and let Shao Ruide belong to her from the beginning to the end, the whole person and the whole heart.

The man she fell in love with, no one could get her hands on it, she couldn't control it before, how could she let others attract her husband's attention now?

Qin slowly controlled herself to calm down. The current situation has been formed. She can't go back to the past and can only find a way to win her husband's heart. Dad said that through this incident, Shao Ruide no longer has the brotherhood towards the emperor. If they don't love each other, they will only lean closer to their Qin family and get closer to her. In the future, their family will only gather together, so why worry about not having a good life?Although this ordeal lost their official position, it won Shao Ruide's heart, which is not a bad thing for them.

"It's impossible to say that you won't be angry." Qin's thoughts turned around, and it took only a moment, and she said sadly to Shao Ruide in an instant: "But, I am the wife of the husband, and I will raise the children and manage the backyard for the husband. This is What's more, Mr. Xiang, you have already forgotten what happened at the beginning, and you are not cheating me. Knowing this, I am relieved, so how can you get angry with you and cause family disharmony?"

"I'm not an ignorant village woman. I can't control what happened. Besides, it's useless to be jealous. It won't solve any problems, and it will make the family even more uneasy. Now, for the sake of my husband , and for the sake of our family, I just want to settle this matter properly. This is what I should do. It is better than anything else for the family to get together safely. Advance and retreat together, because we are all a real family."

When Shao Ruide heard Qin's words, he was very moved, and he pulled her into his arms and hugged her, "Fortunately, I have you, fortunately, my wife is you, Zhenzhen, I understand, thank you. You are indeed my good wife. "

Qin buried her head in Shao Ruide's chest, and the gentle and watery expression on her face was instantly replaced by coldness, "Of course I am my husband's wife, and I should do my part for him, and I won't be angry with him .”

"Thank you, Zhenzhen!" Shao Ruide said sincerely.

"Sister-in-law, tell me, if you take your sister and two brothers back, how will you arrange them? My sister will take care of your two children alone. I have been waiting for my husband to go back for so many years. We can no longer let my sister and children live in It's outside."

"It's all up to you to arrange!"

Qin smiled triumphantly, got up from Shao Ruide's arms, and said with Shao Ruide's favorite gentle expression and voice: "But, my sister is also the wife of the husband, the wife who is being married by the mediator of the husband, and so am I. Over the years, no one can Marrying two women and splitting wives is unruly. According to the rules, only one of them can be a wife, and the others can only be concubines. My sister was originally married to my husband one step earlier than me. I'm behind, logically... you can only demote me to a concubine."

"How can I let you be a concubine? How can I demote you as a concubine? You are my wife, the wife Shao Ruide married in a dignified manner. With the emperor's testimony, who dares to demote you as a concubine?"

Even if he dared, his father-in-law and the emperor would not be able to make it through.

How could Qin Shoufu let his daughter be a concubine?

The emperor is the matchmaker for this marriage?No matter what, the Qin family can't be a concubine, what's more, he doesn't want her to be a concubine either.

"However, if I don't want to be a concubine, then I can only let my sister do it... In this way, wouldn't it be too unfair to treat my sister like this?"

"Fair?" Shao Ruide didn't know what to think of, and suddenly became angry, "Where is fairness in this world? If it is really fair, it is not fair as they think. She wants fairness, hmph! What right does she have to ask for it?" Fair? Compared to you, she can only be a concubine!"

"Sanggong...:," Don't talk about this matter again.You are my wife, and I have only you as my wife. I have forgotten the rest. It is already the greatest favor to house her family of three. "

Qin Shi nodded, "Well, then listen to the husband."
