After untiing Mrs. Gu's knot, Qingshu returned to his yard.

Standing in the yard, Qingshu looked up at the sky without saying anything for a long time.

Lin Fei has been with her for so many years and knows her very well: "Miss, are you still angry about the second girl?"

Qingshu said softly: "Lan Zhuo wants to break up Jingen and I to help her old friend. Now Huang Run is planning to An An again. Why are they eyeing us? Because in their eyes, we are soft persimmons, and we don't have to pay a price to pinch them to death."

Lin Fei's heart was thrilled: "Girl..."

Qingshu raised his head again and said to himself: "We are still too weak."

There were many things in my heart, but Qingshu was wary of Mrs. Gu and An An’s worries.

A few years ago, Mrs. Wu invited Qingshu and the other three to go to the Duke's Mansion to celebrate the New Year, but was rejected by Mrs. Gu.

After the Lantern Festival, Duke Zhenguo was about to set off to return to Tongcheng.

Qingshu was a little reluctant and said, "Didn't you say you're going to return to Tongcheng after the first lunar month?"

Yi An smiled and said, "If you don't want to bear it, just follow me to Tongcheng!"

"You know it's impossible."

Wu Yian hugged Qingshu and said with a smile: "Don't feel uncomfortable. I will be back in a few years. By then, I may be a general."

"Well, I wish General Wu a triumphant return soon."

Wu Yian laughed.

On the day he left, Qingshu hugged Wu Yian and was reluctant to let go: "Yi'an, take care of yourself, I'll wait for you to come back."

Yi An gently patted her back and said, "Qingshu, don't think too much. As long as you don't give up, I believe there will always be a day to make a comeback."

Qingshu's pupils shrank, and no one said anything in her heart, but she didn't expect Yi An to see it: "Well, I will work hard."

Lan Xi looked at Wu Zhengxiao and wanted him to stay but couldn't speak any more.

Wu Zhengxiao wiped her tears and said, "I'll be back soon?"

With tears on his face, Lan Xi asked, "Really, you didn't lie to me?"

Wu Zhengxiao nodded and said, "I won't lie to you, I will come back before the Mid-Autumn Festival at the latest. When I come back, I won't leave."

Lan Xi asked in disbelief: "You are going back to Beijing, really?"

Seeing Wu Zhengxiao nodding, Lan Xi shook her head and said, "No, I will go to Tongcheng when the weather is warmer. Then I will be with you in Tongcheng."

Wu Zhengxiao felt warm in his heart and felt that his sacrifice was worth it: "It's not just for you, but my grandmother and mother are old, so someone will always come back to take care of them."

If Lan Xi is just left for her, she can refuse, but she will not object to her when she comes back to take care of her grandmother and her grandmother: "Then I'll wait for you to come back."

"Take good care of yourself. If I come back and see you lose weight, see how I punish you."

Lan Xi shook her head and said, "No, don't worry, I will take good care of myself."

Wu Zhengxiao was worried and told: "Don't go out if you have nothing to do. If you really want to go out, let your mother accompany you."

It was Yi An's words that made him worried. It was indeed dangerous for his wife to be too beautiful without his protection.

Lan Xi didn't think much about it and nodded, "Don't worry, I'll wait for you at home."

She is not a person who likes to walk around, and the day she usually writes and draws at home will pass.

No matter how much reluctance is, he will eventually leave. Qingshu sent his group outside the city and then returned home.

On the way back, Qingshu saw Lan Xi still crying and said, "Don't be sad, the third brother will be back soon."

"I know, he just told me that he would go back to Beijing in the future. I was planning to go to Tongcheng in April!"

Qingshu was so amused and laughed: "Since you know, why are you still crying? You will be back when your godfather arranges it."

Lan Xi blushed and said, "I just can't bear to leave."

Qingshu expressed his understanding. The first time we got married was just like a tangle, and we really couldn't bear to part with each other: "I endure it, and more than half a year will pass soon. When he comes back, you don't separate again."

Lan Xi nodded.

Lan Yi sent a memorial to impeach Zhu Mingde, and this time he added a new charge. In addition to embezzling bribery and taking human lives, he also abused his power to seek personal gain and exploit the people.

This time, the emperor did not leave any money, but directly ordered Zhu Mingde to be arrested and sent back to the capital, and ordered Lan Yi and Dali Temple Minister to try the case.

As soon as the news came out, Mrs. Zhu ran to ask the princess for help, but unfortunately the princess was unwilling to interfere in the matter at all.

Mrs. Zhu Er cried and said, "Sister-in-law, we are all a family, you can't stand by death and refuse to save you."

The princess sneered: "If the second brother is just taking bribes, I can help you. But what have you done? You secretly defected to the fifth prince, and you don't want to live, don't bring us."

Is Conglong's Merit so good? How many families have been involved in the dispute between the crown prince and the entire family has been destroyed. His father-in-law dared not get involved in this matter, but he did not expect that the second wife had the courage to sue the prince and get involved in the battle for the throne.

In this case, they didn't have time to clear their relationship, so how could they dare to help the second wife? So after learning about this, Princess Jiade immediately asked Zhu Rong for leave and asked him to go to Jiangnan. The younger son Zhu? He was also locked up at home and was not allowed to go out.

No matter how much Mrs. Zhu pleaded, the princess was indifferent. In the end, she asked the woman to send her back to Zhu's mansion.

The princess rubbed her forehead: "I really didn't expect that the second child was so bold. He wanted to drag the whole family to die together!"

She hadn't thought about this at first, and it was Qingshu's words that reminded her.

After she returned, she asked someone to investigate the matter secretly, and then found out that the second house had defected to the fifth prince. Zhu Mingde had been filial to the fifth prince over the years by embezzling bribery and exploiting the people.

After investigating this, she was shocked and sweated. Then she wrote a letter and asked someone to give it to Zhu Minghuai, asking him to stay in Jiangnan to wait for the disease and not come back.

As Mrs. Zhu said, the second wife was in the same spirit as them, and they all prospered and suffered losses. Once Zhu Minghuai came back, he would inevitably be involved in this storm. He would not be angry with the Grandpa for decades of his dedication to the court.

Madam Chen said, "The second wife has always been the best, and she is most likely to instigate her."

Princess Jiade shook her head and said, "If the second child doesn't have this intention, how could Huang be able to instigate him? Hmm, this time the Zhu family still doesn't know if they can escape this disaster."

Lan Yi's actions were quick and the entire case was investigated within six days after Zhu Mingde was escorted to Beijing.

Master Zhu is one of the emperor's most trusted ministers, otherwise he would not have been in charge of Jiangnan for more than 20 years. If it were just a general violation of laws and regulations, the emperor might not have spared his life. But he knew that Zhu Mingde had defected to the fifth prince to do his job for him, so the emperor would not show any mercy.
