By the end of the year, every household was very busy handling New Year's goods. However, the eldest grandmother of the Feng family came back this year. With her helping the prince's wife with housework, Feng Xiaoyu was free.

Feng Xiaoyu felt bored, so he invited Shangqingshu and Yian to eat copper pot.

Originally, Lan Xi was invited, but because she didn't make an appointment in advance, she followed Wu Zhengxiao to the west to see the wintersweets.

When Qingshu arrived, I saw the table full of meat dishes, including lamb, beef, venison, robe meat, sashimi, shrimp, etc., and there were more than a dozen vegetables.

Feng Xiaoyu smiled and said, "I said don't do so much, Yi An said that there may be less of these."

Yi An said happily: "I think it's less. I ate the pot with my father and others in Tongcheng, and the meat was eaten in a pot until the end, but it was still less."

Qingshu:...

Feng Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Men are more capable than us, and my father's appetite is three times that of mine."

After everyone sat down, Feng Xiaoyu said, "This time I used the old female duck that I had only been making soup for five years to make soup base. The taste must be good."

Qingshu smiled and said, "You are so wasteful. Use bone soup to make soup base and add ingredients to it and it will be delicious."

The three of them were having a meal and chatting. As they were chatting, Yi An talked about the second wife of the Zhu family coming to the Gu family to propose marriage.

It was because Lan Xi didn't come today, otherwise Yi An wouldn't have said this in front of her.

Feng Xiaoyu paused when he heard this, looked at Qingshu and asked, "You didn't agree, did you?"

Qingshu smiled and said, "No. Then Mrs. Zhu likes to stuff her son with a concubine. How can such a family marry her?"

Feng Xiaoyu was relieved when he heard this, and put a slice of mutton into a pot and brushed it: "It's fine if there isn't."

This sounded not very good, Qingshu put down his chopsticks and asked, "But what's the problem?"

Feng Xiaoyu finished eating the mutton that he had prepared, and said: "On this day, the Censor impeached Zhu Mingde to accept bribes, which caused many unjust, false and wrong cases."

If Mrs. Gu agreed to this marriage, she would have to worry. Now, I won’t care.

Qingshu's heart was terrified.

Yi An looked solemn: "Is it true?"

Feng Xiaoyu said: "It was Lan Yi who wrote to the letter to impeach him, so this matter is probably true. However, because the Chinese New Year is about to be over, this matter was suppressed by the emperor. After the Chinese New Year, this matter will definitely be put on the agenda."

Because Lan Yi's impeachment never heard of anything, he always asked someone to find out the evidence before writing it.

Qingshu looked angry: "Don't blame me for being anxious to go to my house to say hello, and the relationship is based on this idea."

If Zhu Mingde's crime is fulfilled, he is a criminal offender. Even if he is not implicated and exiled, he will not be able to take the imperial examination for three generations.

If you want to get engaged, you will leave the bride and say that they can only share wealth and honor, but not suffering. With such a reputation, you can say that you are good at kinship. If you don’t leave your bride, not only will your husband and grandchildren not be able to enroll in the imperial examinations, but at most you can only do business and become a wealthy and idle person.

The more she thought about Qingshu, the more angry she became: "The reason why she came to the door and said she must have known that An An had a generous dowry, so she had an idea."

Feng Xiaoyu smiled and said, "What's so angry about? Didn't you agree?"

"If Mrs. Xia hadn't said that she liked to rub her son with a concubine and rub her daughter-in-law, I would have agreed."

Yi An said, "Qingshu, there are many outstanding men in the army, why don't I find one for An An."

Qingshu shook his head and said, "An An said she wanted to find someone who could study and be able to wear a phoenix crown and a robe in the future."

"Their wives of military generals above the fifth rank can also be awarded the imperial edict and wear a phoenix crown and a red robe." Yi An said: "Don't worry, the character and ability I found for An An must be first-class."

Qingshu did not refuse and said, "I'll go back and ask An An and see what she means."

Feng Xiaoyu waved and said, "If you have something to say later, eat it now. If you don't eat the vegetables inside, it will not be delicious if they are cooked."

After eating the pot, Qingshu went back.

Mrs. Gu and An An were both puzzled when they saw Qingshu's faces were not very good.

An An asked, "Sister, aren't you eating pot with Sister Xiaoyu? Why are you angry? You won't quarrel with Sister Xiaoyu, right?"

Mrs. Gu laughed and scolded: "What nonsense? How could Qingshu quarrel with the County Lord Xiaohe?"

Qingshu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Grandma, Xiaoyu just told me that yesterday, Censor Lan wrote a letter to impeach Zhu Mingde, saying that his corruption and abuse of power caused many unjust, false and wrong cases."

After hearing this, An An asked puzzledly: "Who is Zhu Mingde? He is corrupt and abused, so angry, sister?"

"The second master of the Zhu family Zhu Mingde."

An An was shocked: "Did Mrs. Zhu know that something was going to happen to Zhu Mingde, so she wanted to settle Zhu Qiang's marriage as soon as possible? I was attracted by it because I felt that our family had no power and did not dare to withdraw from the marriage."

Even if Zhu Mingde is convicted, he will not be implicated in Zhu Minghuai and Princess Jiade. Zhu Minghuai is the eldest son, and he is fine, which means that the foundation of the Zhu family has not been shaken. For the sake of the big house, others dare not make things too difficult for the second house.

Qingshu nodded and said, "It should be like this."

An An was so angry that he said: "Who is this? He has done something illegal and disorderly to be investigated and punished. He didn't want to redeem his sins quickly, but tried every means to bring people to them for custody."

Mrs. Gu said in a trembling voice: "Is it confirmed?"

Qingshu shook his head and said, "Because it's the end of the year, the emperor wants to have a safe and stable New Year, so he will not leave it. However, after the New Year, he will definitely investigate the matter thoroughly."

Mrs. Gu slapped the table: "It's too much to deceive others, too much to deceive others..."

Qingshu hurriedly said, "We didn't respond to this marriage, grandma, don't be angry."

Mrs. Gu covered her chest and said while panting: "It's almost the same, it's just a little bit!"

She was about to agree at that time, but was stopped by Hua's mother. It was not that Hua's mother suspected that the Zhu family had a conspiracy, but Qingshu said that An'an's marriage must be nodded. Although Mrs. Gu thought that this marriage was very good, she was also worried that Qingshu would lose her temper, so she told the matchmaker to consider it.

Qingshu smiled and said, "Grandma, even if you agree, I will regret it when I find out the details of Mrs. Zhu Er, so you don't want to do this at all."

It is not the same thing to verbally renege and destroy the kinship after getting engaged.

After comforting Mrs. Gu, the two sisters went out.

After leaving the house, An An said angrily: "Sister, the princess and Zhu Lanxi are so unkind. When something happened to Lanxi, you were busy with everything. Now the second house is planning to me, and they don't even remind me."

Although Qingshu was also very angry, he was not blinded by anger: "You don't know that Lan Xi, you are the most impatient with these mundane things. She always felt that Mrs. Zhu was enthusiastic and generous and kind to others. She didn't believe it when she heard Mrs. Zhu rub her daughter-in-law and put a concubine on her son. As for the princess, the second wife must have not greeted her before she came to propose marriage. I guess she probably didn't know about this yet!"

"real?"

Qingshu smiled and said, "What am I lying to do? Who is the princess? She helped me save Jingshu that day! If she knew that Mrs. Zhu second planned to plot against you, she would definitely tell us that she would not let you jump into the fire pit."
