Chapter 53: Catching the Bag
Lanshan Temple is located in a remote area, and there are not many pilgrims on weekdays.
The carriage that Concubine Liu took out of the palace stopped at the back door of Lanshan Temple.
Xiao Chuchu, who was in the cradle, widened her eyes, [They are behind the Buddha statue closest to the entrance of the pilgrim courtyard! ]
Concubine Liu almost vomited when she heard this.
This stinky man is so bold and shameless!
He even hid behind the Buddha statue to have an affair!
Concubine Liu gritted her teeth and said, "I have been to Lanshan Temple with my mother before. The place where pilgrims often stay is nothing more than the courtyard behind the Buddha statue at the main gate. You come with me."
Min Rou's face was pale. She looked at the little princess in the cradle and then at Concubine Liu who was walking in front.
She suppressed the turmoil in her heart and followed quickly.
Soon they walked to the entrance path of the pilgrim courtyard.
It wasn't long before a voice came from behind the blessing Buddha statue on the rockery.
"Zhou Lang, what should we do now? Your grandfather is in prison and has done such a shameful thing to his grandson's wife. My parents will never let me marry you."
The graceful voice of a woman sounded anxiously behind the stone statue.
Then came a soothing and gentle male voice.
"Lin'er, I really love you. I quarrel with my wife every day at home, and we have no feelings for each other. I am ready to divorce. Who wants to encounter such a thing?"
"But now the most urgent thing is to wait. I can't let you marry into the Zhou family at this time and bear the eyes of others and the emperor's anger."
The man's words came out.
Min Rou, who was standing next to Concubine Liu, had a pale face and her eyes were spitting fire.
This is Zhou Muxin's voice!
It is the voice that cares for her every day!
Even if she turns into ashes, she will not admit her mistake!
But what did he say, he quarreled with her every day and had no feelings for her?
Who has been kneeling in front of her these days, crying and begging her not to leave the Zhou family and him?
"Lin'er, I only have you in my heart and eyes. Hey, but you know, if I divorce her at this time, the emperor will hate our Zhou family even more, and others will think that I am a villain who despises his wife being abused."
Min Rou clenched her fists and trembled with anger.
"But, but Zhou Lang, I already have your child..." A crying female voice sounded.
Liu Concubine, Min Concubine and even Min Rou were all stunned.
The daughter of the Minister of Justice has already had an affair with Zhou Muxin and has a child! ?
[Fuck, I knew she was pregnant a long time ago. No wonder in the novel, not long after Aunt Min Rou died, Zhou Muxin married the daughter of the Minister of Justice in less than three months! ]
[Sure enough, she had a baby before marriage, and she couldn't hide her belly, so she had to get married quickly. ]
Xiao Chuchu was so engrossed in eating melons.
"Lin'er, this, this child can't stay."
"Ah? Zhou Lang, you didn't say that before! You said that Min entered the Zhou family and didn't give birth to a son in seven years. Your mother was dissatisfied with her and was going to divorce her with the seven reasons for divorce!"
The daughter of the Minister of Justice was scared and cried.
"You also said that she didn't serve her mother-in-law at home and was very bad to her. You couldn't stand her temper and couldn't live with her for a long time. Divorce her and you can marry me as your main wife at the beginning of the year. I will, I will be with you--"
Liu Concubine was amazed.
Men are shameless, so mean.
Not only did he let down women, but he also pretended to be a good man and swindled outside!
"This cheap man!" Min Concubine couldn't help her temper at all. When she heard this, she pulled up her sleeves and rushed over, but a woman with pearl hairpins on her head was faster than her!
The man was wearing a brocade robe in the color of autumn fragrance. Although he was old, he rushed to the back of the Buddha statue in a few steps, jumped up, and slapped the burly man behind the Buddha statue!
"You are a dirty thing that deserves to be struck by lightning and eaten by ghosts!"
"You actually deceived my daughter!"
"You are a scumbag, and your whole family is scumbags. You deserve to be arrested and executed immediately!"
The man who screamed and scratched the stone statue with his ten fingernails was none other than the wife of the Minister of Justice!
"Mother, mother... why are you here?" The daughter of Minister Fang was shocked.
"Mrs. Fang?" Zhou Muxin was shocked and stepped back as if he had seen a ghost. His face was scratched.
But as soon as he stepped back, he turned around and saw his wife Min, who was indignant and her chest was heaving.
"Min Rou, why are you here too?" Zhou Muxin's face changed drastically.
"Zhou Muxin, from today on, I will cut off all ties with you and have nothing to do with you anymore!"
Min Rou raised her head, took a deep breath, and said resolutely.
"No, it's not that we have nothing to do with each other anymore."
"I'm going to ask a lawyer to tell you that you and Mrs. Zhou murdered my two daughters! In the cold winter, they were immersed in ice water!"
"I'm also going to sue you for deliberately indulging your grandfather and doing something bad to me late at night, late at night!"
She closed her eyes, and now she came to her senses!
Is Zhou Muxin really completely unaware of what his grandfather did?
He is the general of the Hundred Guards who led the soldiers to patrol the city.
If you don't even know the movements of your grandfather, what's the point of being the leader of the Hundred Guards? !
Zhou Muxin was dissatisfied with her because she couldn't give birth to a son and her family background was ordinary, so she couldn't give him a higher level of support like the daughter of the Minister of Justice!
He just watched his grandfather take action against him, and even secretly helped him, waiting for her to commit suicide after being humiliated and give up the position of wife.
Min Rou's eyes were about to spit fire.
"Wait, listen to my explanation!" Zhou Muxin, who was dressed in tight clothes, panicked at this moment.
The Zhou family no longer had the protection of Zhou Wuxin, and there were no officials above the fifth rank in the family.
But Min Rou was rewarded by the emperor, and she was a close friend of the favored Concubine Liu.
Zhou Muxin's plan has changed now. He doesn't plan to marry the daughter of the Minister of Justice. He thinks Min Rou is better!
"I am the biological father of the child. How could I harm the child? What are you talking about? I just want you to stay and don't want you to leave me."
"Listen to my explanation. I have nothing to do with Miss Fang. She is just being sentimental and blackmailing me."
Miss Fang fainted after hearing this.
Mrs. Fang was so angry that she beat her chest and stamped her feet, wanting to tear Zhou Muxin's mouth.
But Zhou Muxin stepped back to avoid it and knelt directly in front of Min Rou. "Mother said that the child would get a cold for a few days after being exposed to ice water. This is what mother came up with. She insisted on doing this. I couldn't persuade her. It's none of my business--"
"Pah!"
Before she finished speaking, Min Rou slapped him in the face.
The people who followed were all stunned.
Is this the good husband that everyone praised before?
He is simply more vicious than a snake!
"Stop quibbling, Mr. Zhou. Just wait to go to jail." Concubine Liu snorted coldly.
Zhou Muxin was sweating profusely, confused and at a loss.
How did he get exposed?
How did Concubine Liu find out?
*
A farmyard in the suburbs of Beijing.
The emperor asked the ministers to rest, and Censor Hong Xing sneaked up to the side of the Minister of Justice Fang.
But just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by the servant who hurried over from Fang's mansion.
The servant whispered to Fang's ear for a while, and soon Fang's expression turned dark.
"What's wrong? Something happened at home?"
Censor Hong Xing, who was lobbying for the queen's party, asked with concern, "If you had stood by the queen earlier, everything would have been solved..."
With a bang, before he finished speaking, a cup of hot tea was poured on his face!
"Ah!" Hong Xing was burned and jumped up in an instant, "What are you doing!"
Minister of Justice Fang pointed at him indignantly, his body trembling, "What am I doing?"
"I swear that from today on, I will be as hostile to you as fire and water!"
He has only one daughter!
She was ruined by the Zhou family, who were the party of the Queen!
Lord Fang drew the guard's sword angrily, cut off his sleeve with a sword, and threw it on the ground.
"From now on, we will sever our ties!"
"It is considered to repay Mr. Tong for promoting me back then!"
Hong Xing stared, reached out to touch the tea on his face, "You, you——"
Just as he was about to question, the emperor Xiao Yunzhou next to him had already moved his eyes.
Lord Fang, the Minister of Justice, turned around and knelt in front of the emperor.
He kowtowed to the ground!
"Your Majesty, please help my daughter!"
"The good student taught by the Queen's father, the grandson of Zhou Wuxin, bullied and deceived my unmarried daughter!"
