Chapter 21 Confrontation between Father-in-law and Son-in-law
shenjiacun
"Husband, is this the last batch?" Lin Yuxi looked at the men in black all over the ground and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. It seemed that her cheap father had indeed made a fortune. These men in black came in batches, and he didn't seem to feel sorry for them at all.
"Well!" Shen Minghui tied the man up with ease. While answering his wife's question, he was thinking about the progress in the capital. He wondered if the prince was ready. He hoped that the Marquis' Mansion could delay it for a little longer! Soon, these "fearful" days would be over.
"A-choo" Hearing the sound, Shen Minghui looked at Lin Yuxi worriedly, only to see that Lin Yuxi's nose was red from the cold, and she was touching her nose uncomfortably. Shen Minghui was amused but also felt distressed, "My wife, please go back to the house first. It's cold at night, and it will be bad if you catch a cold. Leave this to me!"
"Okay! Then I'll go back first!" Lin Yuxi looked at her husband's determined eyes and knew that she would not be able to help with the next thing. She smiled and agreed, gathered her clothes, and obediently walked towards the room.
It's so cold, why not make some hot pot! The cabbage, carrots, and mushrooms in the space are all cooked, and there is still a lot of mutton from the last time. I will ask my husband to slice the mutton rolls and add some prepared meatballs and so on, and it will be ready.
I had supper with my husband at this time and no one came to disturb us.
Thinking of this, Lin Yuxi couldn't help but smile in her heart. Indeed, no one was disturbing her, and she was still in a trance! Hahahaha, she didn't expect that the drug could have this function!
No, such a good thing should be made by my husband more.
It’s a good thing, so of course you should stock up more!
Changle Marquis Mansion
"How ridiculous!" Changle Hou Lin Zhiyuan looked at the disheveled Lin Xiaozhi, and when he heard his words, his anger continued to rise. Thinking that so many people had been killed in the fight, but not even a splash was heard, he could not help but get furious.
After cursing him several times and venting his anger, he managed to suppress his anger and sneered, "Ha, with 100,000 taels of silver, he is not afraid of being stuffed to death!"
Lin Xiaozhi lowered his head silently, reducing his presence. He was lucky to be able to come back alive, okay? It was nothing to be scolded for spreading a few words. Just thinking of the evidence that his brothers had spit out, Lin Xiaozhi felt that Shen Minghui would not just ask for money. However, looking at the furious patriarch, he did not say a word of warning.
What is there to say? What is there to say? The fight between the father-in-law and the son-in-law has nothing to do with me, an outsider. I should get out of this quagmire of Changle Marquis Mansion as soon as possible.
After Lin Zhiyuan calmed down, he had to face the choice given by Shen Minghui. Although he was unwilling to be tricked by a country boy, facing the other party's powerful martial arts, and thinking about the huge benefits of exchanging the wooden sign, he decided to lower his head and take the wooden sign back first.
"Give it to him!" Haha, no rush. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future to let that warrior who came from a mud-legged family see what power and nobility mean!
Changlehou Mansion Backyard*Yuweixuan
The moonlight is like water, cool and leisurely, sprinkling on the quaint courtyard of the boudoir.
Lin Yuwei was wearing a green dress, like the tender leaves of spring, fresh and graceful. Her face was as gentle as jade, and her eyes were as bright as stars. Her eyebrows were like distant mountains, slender and curved, revealing an innate elegance. Her lips were light and elegant, slightly upturned, as if she was smiling, giving people a sense of tranquility and indifference.
The moonlight shines through the window lattice onto her body, giving her a layer of silver brilliance. She is like a fairy, quiet and elegant, making people fall in love with her.
Thinking about the meaning of her mother's words during the day, Lin Yuwei still hasn't calmed down.
"I will be by your side soon!" Lin Yuwei's fingers gently stroked the jade pendant in her hand and she lowered her head and smiled.
Her fingers danced lightly like butterflies. The smooth and delicate surface of the jade pendant made her feel inexplicably at ease and comfortable. Her eyes were focused and gentle, as if the jade pendant was her treasure that needed to be cared for and treasured.
"Fate is indeed wonderful." After a long while, a whisper came out of her mouth, which was filled with a deep sense of relief and joy. She stood by the window, looking at the scenery outside, her heart full of expectations and joy for the future.
Imperial Palace Study Room
The atmosphere in the imperial study was solemn and dignified. The emperor sat on the dragon throne, wearing a brocade dragon robe, with a majestic look, as if he could see through everything. His eyes were as deep as the sea, revealing an unfathomable wisdom. He listened quietly to the results of the investigation by his subordinates.
"Your Majesty, upon investigation, it was found that the medicine presented by the Minister of Works Shen Wenwu was indeed from the merchant Chang family."
"Oh? Chang family?" The emperor raised his eyebrows, seeming to have some impression of this name. He turned around and glanced at the chief steward Song Jinnian.
Song Jinnian stepped forward and reminded, "Your Majesty, it's the Chang family of Longxi. They donate supplies to the court every time there is a disaster. You also gave the Chang family a plaque that reads 'A Family of Good Deeds'!"
Emperor Xiao nodded and signaled the people below to continue speaking.
"Your Majesty. After investigation, it was found that the medicine presented by the Minister of Works Shen Wenwu was indeed from the Longxi Chang family. The daughter of the Chang family married the Marquis of Changle in her early years, and was later murdered by the Marquis of Changle for money. Chang's daughter Lin Yuxi escaped and hid in a rural village, and married Shen Minghui, a son of the Shen family. Later, the Marquis of Changle discovered that Chang's magic medicine intended to seize it, so Lin directly presented the medicine to the Shen family, and finally presented it to Your Majesty."
After hearing the results of the investigation, the emperor was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "The Chang family, Lin Yuxi, Changle Hou... these people are all very interesting."
His voice was deep and powerful, as if it could penetrate people's hearts. His words revealed a profound meaning that made it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
"..." The people below were careful to reduce their presence. Everyone knew that His Majesty had been working hard for the Crown Prince's illness for more than a decade. The Chang family and Changle Marquis's Mansion clearly knew about the existence of the miracle drug, but they still schemed against each other and delayed reporting it. Who knew if the emperor had any grudges in his heart?
The emperor smiled faintly, and said in an inexplicable tone, "Oh, what about the Chang family? Since the magic medicine came from the Chang family, how did it fall into the hands of the Lin family?"
The people below lowered their heads even lower, "Your Majesty, the Chang family was wiped out six years ago, and now only the Lin family is alive."
As soon as these words came out, the room suddenly became cold. After a long while, His Majesty the Emperor spoke in a cold voice, "Haha, that's good! The whole family of good people was exterminated, and no one reported it in six years!"
The people below knelt down on the ground, and no one dared to speak. It was a joke that who dared to ignore the majesty of Emperor Xiao, and thought there were not enough heads to chop off? Really, why are there always such brainless people? They made us suffer!
"Investigate the Marquis of Changle's Mansion thoroughly! Also, all the officials in Longxi, big and small, must be cleansed from top to bottom. I want to see who gave them the courage to even ignore the massacre of an entire family!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the people below hurriedly and respectfully responded "yes" and left quickly.
