The black-bellied peasant girl is reborn, and her weird relatives are mad

The mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law walked hand in hand and talked intimately, when another carriage stopped in front of the mansion.

Zhang jumped out of the car and ran back to the mansion without even caring about the children.

"Father, second brother and sister-in-law, my husband is here." Zhang's voice was filled with tears and her expression was flustered. She didn't have any of her usual composure.

"What's wrong?" Zhang's eyes turned red and tears rolled down. "Mother, I've gotten into trouble. I'm sorry to my grandparents, my parents, my brother and his wife, and even more so to my husband." She covered her face with a handkerchief and cried out.

Zhang's abnormal behavior left the two men puzzled. She had been back to her parents' home for two days, so why did she come back crying and apologize as soon as she came back? Could it be that her parents' home had done something to the Tang family?

Qiuzi and the children quickly followed. Chaoer held her second sister's hand and looked at her mother with tears in her eyes.

"Mother, why are you crying? Is it because of Sister Chunhong? Will she come back?"

"Bah, don't mention her anymore."

Seeing the anger on her face, Jiang Muxia knew that something must have happened to Chunhong, and it must be a big deal.

She gestured to Qiu Zi to take the children back to the yard and shook her head at Liu Ying.

There was such a big commotion in the aristocratic families in Beijing last night, and I'm afraid that all the people in Beijing know about it this morning. My sister-in-law's family has been searched by the imperial guards, and Chunhong must be their target.

It turned out that she was the one who leaked the plan that night, and the sister-in-law felt guilty because of this.

"My eldest brother just came back from the palace. They stayed in the palace all night. I saw that he looked very bad. Zhong Bai is with him now. Since my eldest sister-in-law is back, go and see her. The matter of Chunhong was not my fault. Since the matter has been settled, there is no need to mention it again." Jiang Muxia persuaded her gently.

She understood Zhang's concerns. She was simply afraid that Tang Boan would find out about Chunhong's affairs and blame her, which would affect their relationship.

"Thank you, second brother and sister-in-law. Mother, I will take my leave first."

"Go ahead and wash your face before entering the house." Liu Ying reminded her. She watched Zhang go away and then sighed, "Your sister-in-law usually looks steady and dignified, but she is too sensitive. Although our family has a rule that does not allow concubines, she is still worried."

"Her mother is also a troublesome person. When she got married and just got pregnant with Tao, she secretly instigated her to send someone to your eldest brother's room. The person she sent was Chunhong. I don't know how many times your eldest sister-in-law cried in secret because of this."

"Fortunately, your eldest brother was firm in his attitude. He went to the Zhang family and gave them a serious warning in front of Zhang's parents. If they interfered in their affairs again, he would let them take their daughter home. That's when they calmed down."

"Ah, that sister-in-law has a hard life too, luckily she married into our family."

Jiang Muxia was surprised that there were still such parents in the world who couldn't bear to see their daughter do well. As a sister-in-law, she also had unspeakable suffering.

Liu Ying smiled and teased her, "Aren't you worried about your family's future?"

Jiang Muxia smiled and shook her head, "If that day really comes, I will take the child and leave him, so that he will never find us again."

Liu Ying looked at her determined eyes and thought, this child is really capable of doing such a thing.

My son, your wife will control you for the rest of your life.

Later, Jiang Muxia learned that the reason why Tang Boan looked so bad was because the emperor transferred him to Zhuozhou as a military officer. He was just upset because he was demoted from the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue to a minor official without an official rank.

"Actually, there's no need to worry, big brother. The prince will definitely find a way to transfer him back. It's just a matter of time." Tang Zhongbai said.

In the afternoon, Weidong sent an invitation to the couple to have a small gathering at the tavern.

At such a critical moment for the Tang family, Tang Zhongbai wrote a note to refuse, saying that everything was fine at home and there was no need to worry. Then he and Jiang Muxia stayed in the yard, waiting for Liu He to report the progress of the case.

In the evening, news came from Liu He.

Because the New Year was approaching and the past was past, the Emperor ordered that the entire branch of the Tang family be executed and the Marquis's mansion be confiscated. Tang Xingliang, the second branch of the Tang family, was beheaded. Because the second branch's granddaughter Tang Jing risked her life to spread important news in this incident, the remaining members of the King of Lingnan were all brought to justice. The second branch's wives, concubines and children were expelled from the capital and were never allowed to return to the capital. Tang Jing, the second branch, was conferred the title of fifth-rank Huiren and was allowed to be buried in the Tang family's ancestral tomb. The other clansmen knew nothing about this matter and did not pursue it.

The merits and demerits of the third branch of the Tang family are now offsetting each other.

When the dust settled, Jiang Muxia smiled faintly. Ten years, a full ten years ahead of schedule. But the results were completely opposite.

She sat in front of the green and red bed, peeled the sweet tangerine, broke off a petal and put it in her mouth.

Qinghong's face was still pale, but she looked more energetic than the previous two days.

She swallowed the orange and told Jiang Muxia what happened in Zhang's yard last night with some fear. The soldiers suddenly broke in, kicked open the door of the main house without saying a word, and asked Zhang for people.

Chunhong still had some conscience and stood up directly, "I am the person you are looking for. My daughter knows nothing about my identity. Please don't embarrass her."

After the people were taken away, Zhang's parents ran in and learned that Chunhong was actually a spy planted by the King of Lingnan next to Zhang, with the purpose of accompanying her to marry into the Tang family and capture Tang Boan.

"Madam, you don't know that the eldest lady's parents were so scared that they were paralyzed. Fortunately, the eldest master did not take her into his room, otherwise both families would have been ruined."

"Yes, she still has a conscience."

Zhang treated her well and she was not a bad person by nature, she just followed the wrong person.

"The lady also told me to follow her and support me for the rest of my life, but I refused."

"It's right that you didn't agree. In her heart, you are the one who does her a favor. Over time, a good relationship will become sour."

Human nature is such a wonderful thing.

"Follow me, and if you fall in love with someone, I will prepare a dowry for you. If you really don't want to get married, I can also support you for the rest of your life."

Qinghong's eyes turned red. She believed what she said, but she wanted to earn a living on her own.

At the hour of Hai, Liu He came out of the palace and returned to his mansion, and went straight to the study.

Jiang Hongxin and Liu Xin stood guard at both sides of the door. Liu Xin turned his head to look at her from time to time, which made her feel puzzled. She was afraid of disturbing the prince, so she didn't dare to speak, but glared at him. Liu Xin smiled and stood still.

There was a burnt smell coming from the house. The two men looked at each other and then stood up straight.

As soon as Liu He entered the study, he took out the painting, opened the scroll, stared at it for a long time, and then reluctantly threw it into the brazier.

"Ali, it's time to let you go. If there is an afterlife, let you meet me first, okay?" His nose felt sour, he took a breath and suppressed it.

"Liu Xin, go call Manager Liu from the accounting office over here."

"Yes."

Manager Liu was holding an enameled and gold-painted box in his arms. He entered the room, put it down, and left.

Liu Xin looked at Jiang Hongxin with some reluctance, but Jiang Hongxin rolled her eyes at him and didn't bother to pay attention to him.

"Jiang Hongxin, come in."

She walked into the room and was about to accept the order when Liu He pushed the box in front of her.

"Here. I promised those two that if they helped me find the rebels, I would set you free. They did it, and now it's time for me to fulfill my promise."

Jiang Hongxin's eyes lit up, then dimmed again. These two idiots, who had made such a great contribution, actually used it to exchange for her freedom. Are they stupid?

"Your Majesty, I have said that I belong to you in life and in death..."

Liu Hezhi waved his hands, "Stop, stop, stop. I'm your master, not your husband. There's no need to show loyalty. Take the box, pack your things and leave the palace. We have nothing to do with each other from now on. Just live your life."
