Abandoned Woman Busy Farming

The first version said that the eldest princess disliked Zheng Guogong's powerlessness in the house, so she hooked up with Xiaoxianrou Duzhongshu. As a result, Zheng Guogong discovered it, and the two conspired to kill Zheng Guogong. Then the eldest princess was afraid that evidence against herself would be leaked, so she used the death of Zheng Guogong to burn down Xianleju, but she did not want the fire to expand and cause a big disaster.

The second version is that Zheng Guogong was too carefree and had a lot of concubines in the house and also raised concubines outside, which made the eldest princess furious. Duke Zheng Guo couldn't afford to offend the eldest princess, so he used a crooked trick and secretly got Du Zhongshu and the eldest princess together, successfully cuckolding himself, so that everyone had someone outside, and the eldest princess could say anything about him. . He just didn't want the eldest princess to be pregnant, so Zheng Guogong was unhappy and drank to drown his sorrows. As a result, he did something stupid like jumping into a well.

The third version is that the child in the eldest princess's belly belongs to Zheng Guogong, and Zheng Guogong died. The eldest princess was unwilling to be lonely, so she hooked up with Du Zhongshu, and even the servants in Beipu saw that she remarried as a princess. Abnormal? Anyway, the prince-in-law is dead.

Of course, the third version is the least lethal, but it also shows the coldness of the eldest princess, as well as her wanton behavior of setting fire to her anger.

There are also fourth and fifth versions, which are very bizarre. Some people even say that the eldest princess has a lot of requirements. On weekdays, Zheng Guogong and Du Zhongshu are required to serve together. They also say that there are subordinates from Zheng Guogong's palace. People have seen it and said that it has a nose and eyes, and it has become a fragrant story.

When Bai Ruozhu heard the news reported by Jian Qi, her stomach hurt from laughing. People are so good at telling stories, and they might be able to publish a short story in a few days.

These rumors mostly talk about Princess Dachang and Du Zhongshu. After all, the ancients believed in ghosts and gods and did not want to talk more about the late Zheng Guogong.

"Let's see how they keep staring at me and biting me this time." Bai Ruozhu laughed softly, and then said to Jian Qi: "Go and send a message to Fan Li, urging him to report the rumor case to the Bai Mansion. Is it time to come to a conclusion?"

"Yes, my subordinates will do it now." Jian Qi responded.

…

Things in Duke Zheng's mansion spread like wildfire. The steward who was talking nonsense was secretly arrested by the shadow guards. After being tortured and tortured, he was arrested.

He was indeed not instigated by anyone, and he was telling the truth. He would definitely not be able to return to Duke Zheng's mansion.

The emperor was in a bad mood because of this incident, so he asked Lu to lock him up first, and then went to Cining Palace.

"Mother, if your aunt is like this, what should I do? These wrong things have happened one after another. The royal family has lost all face, and it has harmed so many people." There was no one around, and the emperor complained like a child.

The Queen Mother shook her head, "The eldest princess has a close relationship with the generals in Beiguan, so you can't act rashly, right?"

Tang Yin looked at the soft-hearted and worried Queen Mother, but became firm. Maybe it was time to remove the sting from the eldest princess.

At this time, word spread outside that Mr. Yin Fan from Jingzhao wanted to see him.

"Ask him to come in." The emperor returned to his cold look.

Fan Li entered the main hall, saluted the emperor and the queen mother, and then explained his purpose of coming.

"I would like to ask Your Majesty what you think about the results of the rumor-mongering case urged by Master Bai..." Fan Li asked tentatively.

When this was mentioned, the Queen Mother hurriedly asked: "Have you found out who it is?"

"It was done by Wang Chengen, an elder of the Chamber of Commerce who has a competitive relationship with Master Bai, and his disciple Du Zhongshu. Du Zhongshu had stayed in Master Bai's hometown before, and had partnered with her in the toothpaste business, so he was not interested in the Bai family's affairs. I knew a little bit about it, so I made up half-truths and half-false rumors." Fan Li replied.

"Why is it that Du Zhong Shu again!" The Queen Mother's tone was full of displeasure. She didn't leave the palace and didn't know much about the situation, but she knew about the scandal between Du Zhong Shu and the eldest princess.

The emperor's face also darkened, "Severe punishment will not be spared."

With just these four words, Fan Li understood what the emperor meant. He needed to deal with it more seriously, especially the scandal about the book of Eucommia ulmoides and the eldest princess. It would be strange that the emperor was not angry.

"Wang Chengen is an accomplice and should be slapped with 20 big blows. As for Du Zhongshu, who knew some private affairs of the Bai family and used them to make a fuss about it, he is the mastermind. He insulted the imperial officials and behaved inappropriately. He should be hit with 20 big blows. Then He will be punished by doing hard labor at the border." Fan Li said.

"Behead him directly!" Tang Yin spat out these four words coldly.

"This..." Fan Li was a little embarrassed. According to the law, the matter of Du Zhongshu would not be beheaded, but if he had an affair with the eldest princess, it would be enough to lose his head. It's just that there is no easy way to get it. What about the trial on the table?

The Queen Mother said: "Let's punish according to the law, lest anyone think that the emperor is partial."

Tang Yin took a deep breath and said, "Okay, let's follow the law."

As soon as Fan Li left the palace, he sent someone to tell Bai Ruozhu the result of the sentence. At that time, Bai Ruozhu was telling her parents about returning home. Bai Yihong and Lin Ping'er were particularly happy to hear this.

"He did something unethical, and he finally got his retribution." Lin Ping'er said.

"Yes, punish him to work hard at the border and cleanse his head of crooked ideas, so that he can be a good person in the future." Bai Yihong agreed.

Bai Ruozhu laughed, "I'm afraid it's not that simple. Someone will definitely stop me. I have to go into the palace to take a look."

Lin Ping'er reacted and asked worriedly: "Can this still make him run away?"

"So I have to keep an eye on him, otherwise he can really run away." Bai Ruozhu said and walked out of the door and said to Jian Qi: "Let's go directly to the Nourishing Heart Hall."

Bai Ruozhu's guess was correct. The eldest princess also got the news. She wanted to use the steward's drunkenness to continue to throw dirty water on Bai Ruozhu, and then refused to admit her and Du Zhongshu's concern, but now she can only admit it. Got off.

How can you plead for mercy if you don’t admit it?

The eldest princess rushed to the Yangxin Hall to face the saint and knelt on the ground crying.

"Your Majesty, I haven't asked you for anything. My consort is dead. Do you want me to die alone? Please let Du Zhongshu live. Even spreading rumors is not worthy of death."

"When did I say I was going to kill him?" Tang Yin asked with a stern face.

The eldest princess wiped her tears and said, "We all grew up in the royal family. How come I don't know the rules here? He was sent to a border guard, and I'm afraid he would have to be dealt with on the way. I know you don't like these rumors, but After all, Zhongshu is a good scholar, so it is acceptable for him to be my consort."

Tang Yin narrowed his eyes, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, "You said you haven't asked me for anything, so do you want me to make the decision for Duke Zheng? Or do you want me to be kind to Du Zhongshu?"
