Chapter 363: Death of Zhu and Feng Wensheng
To Shen Dongsu's surprise, Mo Xiujing came to bring good news, an urgent report from Gwangju.
Written by Brother Dayu himself, they successfully lured Feng Wensheng into a trap, and during the battle between the two sides, Feng Wensheng was shot to death by arrows.
Dayu and Ding Qi confirmed together that the person who died was indeed Feng Wensheng himself, there was absolutely no mistake.
The man who had given Shen Dongyue nightmares for years finally died!
Mo Xiujing said that His Majesty knew that the Queen had always been concerned about this matter, so he asked him to deliver the news immediately.
Ding Qi was already on his way back to Youzhou, but Yu Dayu did not come back. Instead, he went to Yangzhou to continue managing the hospitals in the entire Jiangnan region.
After Li Nianyu and Brother Dayu travel together for a while, they will turn to Chang'an and meet with Jia Si to deal with the dignitaries who are in collusion with Feng Wensheng.
Shen Dongsu was stunned for a moment. This was indeed the news she had been looking forward to for a long time, but she also felt it was too abrupt.
But death itself seems to be so abrupt, it never appears as you expect.
Feng Wen did so many bad things when he was alive, so no matter how he died, it was a relief for him.
She pressed on, "No big trouble happened in Gwangju, did you?"
Mo Xiujin shook his head slowly, but that expression made Dong Su know that he must be hiding something from her.
She was startled, thinking that Mo Xiujin had just sent the Shen family away and talked to her about this alone.
He hurriedly asked, "Who is implicated?"
Her mind flashed through the memories of the strong Sister Da Mai, the lovely Dalian, the brightly dressed Shan Shan, the steady and reliable Butler Liu, and other relatives and friends in Gwangju.
Then he asked anxiously: "Are you injured? Or..."
Mo Xiujin quickly replied: "Don't worry, Madam. Someone is indeed implicated. It's not Da Mai and the others, but Zhu."
Zhu family?
Another ancient character. Dong Su thought about it and then remembered that it was Shen Dongyue and Qingniu’s grandmother.
"Feng Wensheng quietly returned to the village and took the lead in finding the second house and others, trying to persuade them to become our enemy."
Dong Su could imagine that Xiao Pan Ge wanted to use the second wife's people to throw dirty water on her without her explaining too much.
With Feng Wensheng as her ex-fiancé and Shen Dazhi as her uncle, Feng Wensheng might even want to win over Jiang Deyun, her uncle.
If such a group of people united, under the manipulation of the powerful people in Chang'an, they could really throw dirty water on her and tarnish her reputation.
"Shen Dazhi was unwilling, but Zhu was tempted and followed Feng Wensheng alone, and fell into our trap."
"Feng Wensheng thought that Zhu was the informer, so he killed Zhu himself."
Shen Dong always has the feeling that evil will be punished by evil.
But I have to tell grandpa this news. After all, she and he had children together, and he must feel bad.
Mo Xiujin thought so too, so he told Dong Su first and let her tell Grandpa Shen.
"It also implicated Granny Hu. Feng Wensheng fled to her home and took her hostage. We rescued her, but her house was blown up by Li Nianyu."
"Butler Liu will place Granny Hu in your manor, and will build her a new house later."
This kind of small matter would not be written in the letter, but Yu Dayu knew that Dongsu had a good relationship with Granny Hu, and Granny Hu had secretly taken care of Shen Dongyue before, so he specially wrote it.
As expected, Dong Su said as soon as she heard it: "Grandma Hu has no children and is old. It's so dangerous for her to live alone!"
"Let her live in my manor, and I will take care of her in her old age."
Mo Xiujin chuckled and said, "No one else was implicated. Dayu and his men acted quickly, and the villagers didn't even have time to react, so the matter was over."
Shen Dongsu breathed a sigh of relief. This was good. She was really afraid that her relatives and friends would be implicated.
Especially since Jia Shiba is still on Liuli Island preparing to fight Japan, if Sister Damai is implicated, Jia Shiba will collapse.
She finally asked the key question: "The emperor didn't tell me to return to the palace immediately, right?"
Mo Xiujin laughed: "No, but according to the agreement, the queen should return to the palace tomorrow."
Shen Dongsu smiled and said, "It would be great if I could stay one more night! It's really not easy for me to leave the palace."
Mo Xiujin really wanted to say that there was no record in history of any queen being able to return to her parents' home to spend the night.
It is because Your Majesty respects Her Majesty that he has bestowed such a gift.
Dong Su asked again: "Did you see Dabao when you entered the palace? How is he?"
Mo Xiujin laughed and said, "Your Majesty takes the prince wherever he goes. When I entered the palace, father and son were reviewing memorials together in the imperial study."
Dong Su's eyebrows twitched: "Reviewing memorials? Dabao? Your Majesty is messing around again!"
Mo Xiujin smiled and said, "I took a look. His Majesty asked the Crown Prince to approve the greetings. He only needs to write the word 'Ann' and stamp it. That's it."
Dong Su had nothing to say now. This was like conscripting his son into the army. It felt like parents in later generations making their children responsible for liking posts on WeChat Moments.
Whose three-year-old prince started to review memorials? If the local officials who wrote memorials to greet each other knew that the memorials were reviewed by the three-year-old prince, how would they feel?
After talking with Mo Xiujin, he went to talk to his third aunt. Dong Su was hesitating about how to tell his grandfather the news.
As soon as I walked out of the room, I saw Grandpa, Shen's father and Zhongyang waiting in the living room worriedly.
Grandpa asked directly: "Did His Majesty ask Xiao Pan to come? What happened?"
Dong Su felt more and more guilty. She felt that she had brought her family from Gwangju to Youzhou, but failed to give them a stable life.
In the past in Gwangju, news spread slowly, but it was different in Youzhou. As long as there was any news related to the palace, especially related to her as the queen, my grandfather would definitely be very nervous.
She hurriedly said, "It's not a palace matter."
Then she told the story of Feng Wensheng and Zhu's death. She naturally embellished it and erased all the thrilling parts and the fact that Feng Wensheng colluded with the powerful and wanted to harm her.
It was said that Brother Dayu returned to his hometown and accidentally ran into Feng Wensheng, and teamed up with Butler Liu to catch him. Feng Wensheng killed Zhu, and was also killed by the guards.
Grandpa Shen and Father Shen didn't hear anything wrong, but Zhong Yang reacted immediately:
"Why did Feng Wensheng pick on Zhu? Why did he want to kill Zhu?"
Feng Wensheng knew that Zhu and the first wife were not relatives but enemies. If he wanted to take revenge on the Shen family, he couldn't use Zhu.
Shen Dongsu had no choice but to say, "Feng Wensheng wanted to use the people from the second house to throw dirty water on me. Others didn't want to, but Zhu was the only one who wanted to, so she went with Feng Wensheng."
"I didn't expect to be ambushed by the guards. Feng Wensheng thought it was Zhu who led them here, so he killed her in anger."
Upon hearing this, Grandpa Shen's face turned even paler. He looked at Father Shen's legs with guilt, then looked at Dong Su. Grandpa Shen, who was always strong and proud, spoke in such a soft tone for the first time:
"It's all my fault that I didn't know her well enough back then. I thought she was a good person. I didn't expect that decades later, not only did she harm Dacheng, she almost harmed Dongsu as well."
Dong Su hurriedly said, "What does it have to do with Grandpa? It was Zhu who committed suicide. Besides, Feng Wensheng, a fugitive, is no threat to me at all."
"Grandpa, please don't think too much. When you married Zhu, you also wanted your father to have a mother to take care of him and support the family together."
Grandpa Shen sighed: "Marrying an unvirtuous wife will bring disaster to three generations!"
When Mr. Shen heard these words, he felt that they had a deeper meaning. He thought about how Jiang had been doing stupid things in recent years, and he was afraid that Jiang would do something similar.
I decided to use Zhu's case to have a good talk with Jiang, so that she could be warned and never do anything that would bring harm to her children!
Dongsu knew that his grandfather was a sentimental man, otherwise he would not have traveled hundreds of miles to Macheng to bring Xiaohu and Xiaoman home in order to repay his aunt for raising him.
Even though the second wife had broken his heart in the past, when Shen Dazhi lost his fortune in gambling, his grandfather still whipped him to make progress.
After what happened to Shen Dongyue, the second wife first drove her away. Shen Dongyue tried to commit suicide but failed, so the second wife sold her to a brothel.
If it weren't for her grandfather's support, Shen Dongyue really wouldn't have survived that long winter.
There is also Qingniu. This time when Shen Dongsu brought his family to Youzhou, Grandpa brought Qingniu with him.
Grandpa has a strong sense of responsibility and values feelings. He also believes that when a person dies, all hatreds should be gone. Grandpa would have hated Zhu while she was alive, but he would naturally be sad when she died.
Dong Su knew that his comfort was very forced. At this moment, Grandpa must want to go back to Gwangju.
She could only assure him, "Grandpa, the current situation in the court is not as good as it seems. The powerful people in Chang'an who are unwilling to move the capital have been making trouble in secret."
"If we send you back to Gwangju now, they will definitely try to hold you hostage to threaten me and Your Majesty. My granddaughter promises that when the world is at peace, we will destroy Japan."
"I will definitely accompany you back to Guangzhou and Shenjia Village in person."
Grandpa wanted to reach out and rub her head, but when he raised his hand he realized that his granddaughter was no longer the little girl she used to be, but the mother of a country, the queen.
He put his hand down again, forced a smile and said:
"Grandpa is not a child who needs to be coaxed. It doesn't matter whether he is in Guangzhou or Youzhou. What matters is that the family is safe and can see each other."
"Back in Gwangju, Grandpa always thought, what if I couldn't get up one day, I don't know if I can see you brothers and sisters again before I die?"
"When I'm at my age, I see you kids less and less. As long as the family is together, it's better than anything else."
Dongsu felt a lump in her throat and her eyes got hot. No matter how difficult life became in the future, she would always come to see her grandfather.
Xiao Bao clearly didn't hear these words, but when she went to bed that night, she was no longer as fresh as she had been the day before. She lingered in Dong Su's arms and said:
"Mom, can you bring my brother to grandpa's house? Xiaobao misses his brother."
This was the longest time the twins had been separated. Even if one of them was sick, the other would talk to her through the window.
Yesterday, Xiaobao played too much during the day and fell asleep at night, forgetting to think about his brother. Today, because of the incident in Gwangju, everyone was in a low mood.
Xiaobao was playing with Xiaoman at home, and since they had been separated for two nights, he naturally started to miss his brother.
Dong Su kissed her forehead and said, "We will go home after breakfast tomorrow. Next time, bring your brother to visit grandpa's house. Now, go to sleep, okay?"
Xiao Bao hummed, and then replied: "Bring Father along too. Father has definitely never ridden a sled or fished on ice before..."
At breakfast the next day, Jiang was unexpectedly very enthusiastic, but with a hint of embarrassment in her enthusiasm, as if she was afraid that Dong Su would misunderstand her.
She was not so enthusiastic just because Dong Su was leaving. She kept repeating, "We'll kill the New Year pig in a few days, and the Queen will come and visit again."
"Come and make glutinous rice cakes, the queen likes to eat fresh glutinous rice cakes."
……
It seems that Zhu's death did make Jiang wary, fearing that her past deeds would be disliked by future generations.
Dong Su didn't care about her at all. In Dong Su's heart, the mother-daughter relationship with Jiang was severed when the original owner's obsession disappeared.
Zhongyang was very relieved. He thought that if his mother could change, his elder brother would be able to marry without worry.
This little old man has always worried more than others.
Grandpa and the others sent them to the gate, and if Dongsu hadn't stopped them again and again, they would have wanted to send them to the main road.
The carriage went a long way. Dongsu and Xiaobao looked back and could still see Grandpa waving. The domestic black dog chased the carriage for a distance and was called back by Grandpa's shouting.
Although Xiaobao was young, he was very sensitive and intelligent. He seemed to be afraid that his mother would be sad about the separation, so he asked in a low voice: "Did mother live in a village like this when she was a child?"
Dong Su laughed and wanted to say that he had never seen such a manor when he was a child. We lived in a cowshed that was leaky and windy, slept on straw mats instead of beds, and wore clothes that had been patched countless times.
But then she thought that telling this to the child was like complaining, so she smiled and said, "Mom will take you back to Guangzhou to have a look if there is a chance. Your father has a manor like this."
Xiaobao didn't ask any more questions, but Xiaoman beside him chuckled. At that moment, all the sufferings of the past seemed to be washed away by this laugh.
As soon as the carriage reached the outer city, they saw from afar the large banner representing the emperor's tour. Shen Dongsu was amused and helpless, and said to Xiaobao:
"Your father is here to pick us up."
Xiaobao immediately leaned half of his body out of the window and kept waving towards the flag. Soon, Ling Moxiao came galloping over on horseback with Dabao.
He pulled Xiaobao out of the carriage and hugged him affectionately.
Dong Su smiled and asked, "Your Majesty, are you planning to pick us up at the villa?"
Dabao cried out aggrievedly, "Mother."
Dong Su got off the car, took Dabao from the horse, and rubbed his chubby cheeks lovingly.
Children are like this. When their mother is not around, no matter how well they are living, they will feel wronged when they see their mother.
After all, in the child's mind, just being separated from his mother is already unfair enough!
Ling Moxiao smiled and said, "Dabao and I will come to pick you up after the court session. If we don't see your carriage again, we will really go to the villa to pick you up."
Dong Su looked at the street blocked by the imperial guards. Damn, now the whole city would know that she was going back to her mother's house, and would also know that the emperor had made such a grand ceremony to pick up the queen and the princess.
The opportunity for the emperor, empress and their family of four to leave the palace at the same time was too rare, so the news spread back quickly, and on the way back to the palace, the streets were crowded with people.
In the middle of winter, the escorting imperial guards were all sweating profusely, fearing that due to the rush and improper arrangements, they would attract thieves and put the emperor and empress in danger.
Fortunately, they returned to the palace safely. Dong Su felt that a large number of officials and generals were so scared that their legs went weak.
They must be cursing behind his back, saying that the emperor and empress are too unreliable.
Dong Su sighed and said to Ling Moxiao: "We can't do this again in the future. One of us can leave the palace."
Ling Moxiao felt a headache when he thought about how the censor would report tomorrow, but he did not agree with Dong Su's words and whispered:
"It's okay. Next time, we will use the white dragon fish clothes and quietly leave the palace."
Xiaobao was very supportive: "Let's take the bus. Brother, have you seen the carriage with tracks? It runs very fast."
Dabao nodded repeatedly: "I saw it, and the emperor also said that he would take me to ride next time. Have you ridden the sled? We went to the recruit camp yesterday afternoon and rode the ice sled."
In an instant, the two little guys had endless things to talk about and started chatting hand in hand.
Ling Moxiao stretched out his hand to hold Dong Su's waist, but quickly realized that his wife was very reserved in front of outsiders, so he helped her smooth her hair instead.
He said softly, "My lady, you have worked hard all the way. Why don't you go back to the palace and rest for a while?"
Dong Su blushed and whispered, "It's still daytime, Your Majesty, please restrain yourself."
Ling Moxiao raised his long eyebrows and said with a smile: "My husband said that you can take Xiaobao to take a nap. What are you thinking about?"
Dongsu: ...
shameless!
Ling Moxiao, you are still my cold and noble husband. Why is it that the older you get, the more your personality becomes ruined?
