Chapter 426 Just to see, the Queen's strength
Luo Heng was convicted, and the entire Zhenyuan Marquis’s world was about to fall!
The old lady blamed the whole thing on Jiang.
Jiang was also terrified. She never thought things would be so serious.
"It's all because of you, this unlucky star! Are you satisfied now? Ever since Heng'er married you, nothing has gone smoothly for him! Why don't you just die!" The old lady pinned Jiang down and beat her hard.
Jiang didn't dare to contradict the old lady and could only beg for mercy from Marquis Zhenyuan.
"My Lord, even if my daughter-in-law made mistakes, she did it for the sake of her husband and the Zhenyuan Marquisate! Since I married into the family, I have never done anything to hurt my husband or the Zhenyuan Marquisate! It was the old lady who secretly put someone in her son's room and destroyed the relationship between her son and daughter-in-law. It was these actions of the old lady that laid the seeds for today's incident!"
"You are so brave, Jiang, how dare you put the blame on me!" The old lady beat Jiang again.
Luo Jixun watched from the side, wanting to speak but not knowing how to start.
Marquis Zhenyuan shook his head helplessly. At this time, the family members could not work together. They could only blame each other, blame each other, and shirk responsibility.
"Enough!" Marquis Zhenyuan shouted angrily.
The old lady stopped and looked up at Marquis Zhenyuan.
"Don't just take your anger out on Jiang! Aren't you at fault yourself?" The old lady of Zhenyuan Houchao asked angrily.
"If Heng'er hadn't married her, I would never have done such a thing!"
Marquis Zhenyuan didn't want to listen to any more nonsense, so he got up and left.
"My Lord! My Lord! Don't leave!" The old lady immediately chased after him and grabbed the sleeve of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, "Is Heng'er okay? What crime will he be punished for this time?"
“I don’t know!” Marquis Zhenyuan shook off my hand and strode away.
The old man's body went limp and he collapsed to the ground.
"He is your only son! You can't just ignore him, Lord!"
Marquis Zhenyuan paused.
How could he just ignore it?
However, all he can do now is to ask the emperor to be lenient with his sentence.
……
Prince's Mansion.
Xiao Yan'an came back from outside and went straight to Ji Chuhe's yard.
"Madam! The Emperor was furious and brought Luo Heng back!"
Ji Chuhe had already expected this result and was not too surprised. She handed You'er in her arms to the wet nurse.
"Carry the young master down first."
"Yes, ma'am."
Everyone in the room retreated.
"Not only that, the story about Luo Heng and Liu Xu has also spread like wildfire. The fact that Luo Heng has maids serving him in his mansion has also spread, and the people of the imperial capital are even saying that they have been deceived by Luo Heng for so many years!"
"If you don't want others to know, then don't do it. There is no wall that is impenetrable in this world." Ji Chuhe responded calmly.
"I just don't know how the emperor will deal with Luo Heng this time."
"I don't know either." Ji Chuhe really couldn't guess how the emperor would deal with Luo Heng. "But, it won't be in vain if we can get Luo Heng back from the northern border."
"Madam is right." Xiao Yan'an nodded in agreement.
Ji Chuhe also guessed it.
The Queen must be very satisfied with this result. Now, it's her turn to take action.
She really wanted to know whether the queen’s strength was as strong as she saw it, and whether there was anything hidden.
After Luo Heng was taken to the imperial capital, the court debated endlessly about how to deal with Luo Heng.
"Your Majesty, Luo Heng broke off the engagement and insisted on marrying Jiang. He swore that he and Jiang had a love as strong as gold and begged Your Majesty to agree. But although he did not openly take a concubine, he always had maids serving him! He is guilty of deceiving the emperor! Your Majesty, please do not tolerate it. Luo Heng should be sentenced to death for this." An official stood up and said indignantly.
"Your Majesty, these are just rumors. There is no evidence. Luo Heng made great contributions in repelling the Hu bandits. I hope Your Majesty will show leniency to him for his merits." Someone stepped forward to plead.
"Your Majesty, as long as we find that Liu Xu and find out her relationship with Luo Heng, we can confirm whether it is a rumor or not."
The emperor felt dizzy listening to these people chattering.
In the end, he agreed to find Liu Xu and confirm her relationship with Luo Heng.
The catkins were sent back to the imperial capital seven days later.
Many people in the imperial capital knew her.
At the beginning, she had finally become an oiran and was able to receive customers, but suddenly she disappeared without a trace.
Many people felt regretful.
Everyone wants to be her first customer.
Unexpectedly, it was hidden by Luo Heng.
The emperor personally tried the case. Liu Xu was brought before him, and many ministers in the court were also present.
Liu Xu was so frightened that she trembled all over and knelt on the ground to salute: "This humble girl pays homage to His Majesty."
"What is your relationship with Luo Heng?" the emperor asked in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, when General Luo saw me, he fell in love with me at first sight. He redeemed me and took me to the Marquis of Zhenyuan. I have been serving General Luo ever since, until General Luo's wife could no longer tolerate me and wanted to drive me out of the Marquis of Zhenyuan!" After Liu Xu finished speaking, with tears in her eyes, she suddenly kowtowed towards the Emperor.
"Your Majesty, please help me! The people from the Zhenyuan Marquis' Mansion want to kill me to silence me! Before, all the women who served General Luo were assassinated, leaving no one alive!"
When these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked!
"How can you speak nonsense in front of the emperor!" Someone shouted angrily while holding willow catkins.
"No, I would never dare to deceive the emperor! I was taken to a forest by Marquis Zhenyuan's men, and saw a pile of bones in a cave! I heard from Marquis Zhenyuan's servant with my own ears that those were the maids who had served General Luo! I am no exception, and I must die too!" Liu Xu said solemnly.
"Do you remember where the cave is?" the emperor asked in a deep voice.
"remember."
"Take your men and look for that cave."
"Yes."
Liu Xu brought a team of palace guards to find the cave.
There was indeed a pile of bones inside, but they were not human bones, but some animal bones.
Liu Xu was confused.
After returning, she was still a little confused.
"Your Majesty, those are all animal bones. We have confirmed it again and again." The inner court guard who followed reported to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, after I escaped, the people in Zhenyuan Marquis' Mansion must have secretly replaced the bones for fear that my deeds would be exposed!" Liu Xu said immediately.
This sentence is no longer convincing.
Because there is no evidence to prove that the people in Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion had replaced their bones.
At this time, Marquis Zhenyuan began to defend Luo Heng.
"Your Majesty, I am to blame for my poor parenting! However, I can guarantee that what Miss Liu Xu said has never happened in the palace. Luo Heng has maids serving him, but they are just ordinary maids. I am even skeptical about the relationship between Miss Liu Xu and Luo Heng."
"Luo Heng also did not admit that he had an improper relationship with Miss Liu Xu. He took Miss Liu Xu into his mansion only because he liked her pipa music and listened to her music when he had nothing to do. My wife also often asked Liu Xu to play music for him. It might be because of this that Luo Heng's wife Jiang misunderstood the relationship between Luo Heng and Liu Xu."
