The emperor is embarrassed

Du Rufang and his mother, Princess Fuchang, took a different route. Du Rufang, who took over from Wei Ning as the Minister of Dali Temple, only believed in the evidence. In his opinion, he hadn't figured out one, two, three, so he was anxious It is not a wise choice to go to the palace to cry and complain.

Du Rumei listened to Du Rufang questioning why she was driven back to her mother's house one after another, and the dark flames gradually grew. Her mother had already gone to seek justice for her, but her elder brother who had just returned home refused to let her go.

Du Rumei was upset for a while, and finally couldn't stand her brother's cross-examination, and shouted nervously, "You didn't marry me to Wei's second son! Don't you know what life I have lived all these years? Why? ? No why? I just don't want to be with him!"

Du Rufang kept a straight face, he didn't take his sister's anger to heart at all, and said coldly, "Whether you want to live with him or not is different from being kicked back to your mother's house by your husband's family!"

"Rumei, this is not the first time you have quarreled with Wei Ziyao! Although Wei Ziyao has some problems, he has never kicked you out. If you insist on not saying anything now, could it be that the Wei family will hide it for you?" Du Rufang said coldly, " Besides, I didn't marry you to Wei Ziyao, so you don't have to get angry with me."

Du Rufang was too lazy to deal with his younger sister, so he got up and ordered, "All the maids and women who accompanied the eldest girl back will be tied up and sent to my yard, and I will interrogate them myself."

Du Rumei cried angrily, "Are you my real brother?"

"If I wasn't your elder brother, I would never have taken you in until now." Du Rufang lifted his foot and left. Although his face was calm, he was actually quite annoyed.

Wei Ziyao is a bit showy and loves to play, but he is not out of the ordinary.Just look at these few years, Wei Ziyao only has a reputation for being romantic, and he really hasn't done anything unmanageable, and this person has a good reputation in Fengyuechang.It can be seen that this man is a well-measured and capable person.

Besides, there are no concubines in Wei Ziyao's mansion. If the younger sister had any wisdom, she would have given birth to children and controlled the inner house.The Wei family has its own wealth, and my sister's life will not be bad.Now that he has been married for several years, he still has such an unassuming and arrogant appearance. Not to mention Wei Ziyao, he wouldn't like it if he was a man.

Du Rufang was easy to deal with a few maids and women. When he knew what "good things" his sister had done, he almost exploded in anger, and told his wife, "All these people have been dismissed." He also ordered outside to prepare a car. Ma, I'm going to the other courtyard of Cheng'en Gong's mansion.

Mrs. Du, Mrs. Li persuaded, "It's getting late, the master will go out again tomorrow."

"No, my mother is not clear, and has already gone to Xinghuayuan to complain to the Empress Dowager. The Wei family is not easy to provoke, and if Mei returns home like this, she will never think about her previous relationship. Wait until tomorrow, if the imperial court says Get up, don't we slap ourselves." Du Rufang said with a serious voice, "Let's send another reliable maid to serve Rumei, and don't tell her to run away."

"I see. Master, be careful on the road." With such a sister-in-law, Li Shi also felt unspeakably annoyed. After all, Du Rumei's embarrassment is the embarrassment of the whole family.No matter how much she hates her sister-in-law, she is also surnamed Du.

-

In Wei Ning's opinion, Du Rufang is the most worthwhile member of the Du family.

At a time like this, Wei Ning certainly hoped that someone from the Du family could come forward and the two families could resolve the matter peacefully, instead of making a fuss in front of the imperial court and stirring up a storm of three feet.

Du Rufang felt ashamed when his younger sister did such a thing. Seeing Wei Ning, he had to apologize first, "What Rumei did is because our Du family has no way to teach our daughters. Brother Wei, I am deeply ashamed."

"Sit first."

Du Rufang sat down and quickly asked, "I don't know what happened to Du Ruoguo's envoy, are you hurt?"

"If Tianshu is injured, Mrs. Du will have to go to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice." Wei Ning was annoyed, but his tone was not too strong, he just said flatly, "Mr. Du has not been pregnant for several years since she married Ziyao. Not to mention, I don't care about this. I told Ziyao earlier that it would be better for my husband to have a child, leave the mother and keep the son, and let Dushi have something to rely on. At that time, it was not without. She was pregnant Or, it was Du Shi's dowry girl, and it was Du Shi who personally beat the girl into miscarriage. Ziyao is a man, even though this matter was suppressed by you and me, he no longer wants to get close to Du Shi."

"At this point, not to mention Rufang, you regret the marriage of the two families, and I regret it too." Wei Ning has always had no regrets, and sighed, "Tianshu is just recuperating in the outer courtyard, but I don't know what she has done to her." I mistakenly thought that it was the person brought back by Ziyao. She is a woman from a Taoist family, and she brought people there to beat and kill. In this mansion, I am here, and Ziyao is here. Zudai blister."

"Not to mention Tianshu's identity, even if Ziyao really brought someone back, there is no Du family who did this." Wei Ning sighed, "In recent years, Ziyao has become more and more reluctant to go home. Now, I can see through it. , even though our two families are respectable families in the imperial capital, we don’t have to let our brothers and sisters live such a life for the sake of face.”

Hearing what Wei Ning said, Du Rufang wished he could show another layer of shame, and couldn't sit still.Although Wei Ning's tone was tough, Du Rufang still wanted to win the marriage contract for his sister.Although the second Wei's official position is not high, if the younger sister and Li Guijia are at such an age and have such a personality, it will be extremely difficult to marry a family of Wei's family.Du Rufang said with difficulty, "Rumei and Ziyao have been married for nearly ten years. Brother Zimin, not to mention that we have always been speculative, even if Rumei and Ziyao have shared the same bed for these years, it is rare." As the saying goes, it is better to demolish ten temples than destroy a marriage. Rumei is not sensible, I will teach her slowly, she will be fine when she is not young. Otherwise, at her age, she really wants to return If she leaves her natal family, the rumors from Guangdi Capital will kill her."

"It doesn't end there." Wei Ning said softly, "Ru Fang, you're taking the matter too seriously. Perhaps reconciliation is what Du Shi is looking forward to."

As he said that, Wei Ning handed a stack of deed papers to Du Rufang, "After Ziyao got married, I gave him part of the family property to cover their daily expenses. There is a monthly share from the public office for them, and there is a share for food and clothing. These properties are just to make their money easier. After all, Mrs. Du married Ziyao, so there is no reason for her to use her mother's dowry."

"Zi Yao hasn't said anything about it for many years, and I don't even know. The three manors, five shops, and the other two properties in the city have all been transferred to her own name by Mrs. Du and have become her private property. Three Years ago, these properties were transferred to the eldest princess. Or, Du Shi thought it was a secret, but for me, it is just a trivial matter to go to the imperial capital to check." Wei Ning dared to put He Li's words aside. When I came out, I naturally had someone behind me, and said calmly, "At that time, the Du family was in charge of these properties. First, I didn't treat her as an outsider. I married Ziyao. She was the Wei family. Second, every household was a member of the Wei family. A woman coming to take care of the property is just to treat Mrs. Du. Now it seems that Mrs. Du may have ulterior motives and is not willing to be a husband and wife with Ziyao."

Du Ruxiang came to encourage himself as a gentleman, but he didn't know that there was such an inside story, so he couldn't sit still in embarrassment, and said repeatedly, "I didn't know this happened, really, really, my Du family can't help Ziyao. .”

"Ru Fang, sit down and talk." Wei Ning's voice was gentle, but there was no room for hesitation, "The eldest princess knows about this matter. Ru Fang, Du Shi and Zi Yao have exhausted their affection."

Du Rufang was speechless.

After the morning court on the second day, Ming Zhan had to start to settle the marriage between the two families.

Or if you don't have two brushes, you can't be an emperor, and you even have to intervene in divorce lawsuits.

Both Du Rufang and Wei Ning were given breakfast.

On the way, Ming Zhan asked about reconciliation, and Du Rufang said first, "My mother always wants to go back to her mother's house whenever she has something to do. It's my fault for disturbing Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager because of some trivial things."

Duanfang Junzi also has a scheming heart, and in one word, he characterized the behavior of Fuchang Dachang Princess' villain's first complaint as a family matter.

Ming Zhan didn't mind. Although he didn't like Princess Fuchang, he was not a shallow person either. He just smiled and said, "I know Aunt Fuchang's temperament. If you want her to be a woman, I wish you could understand." , that’s why I’m here to ask you.”

Du Rufang hurriedly said, "What your Majesty said is true. In fact, my sister and Ziyao have been married for several years, and their temperaments are not compatible. They are still young. Cheng Engong and his ministers are not out of temper, and they fight with them If you are troubled, it is better to take advantage of the youth and separate in a friendly manner, so that each of you can find a way to live with your temper. Even the Du family and the Wei family are relatives, and there is no need to hurt their relatives because of their young children."

Ming Zhan knew in his heart that the two families had reconciled earlier, so he didn't ask any more questions, and said with a smile, "This is the best. In matters of marriage, if we agree, we will come, and if we don't agree, we will break up." He said to Wei Ning, "Is Mrs. Du a woman after all? In addition to returning the dowry in full, there are some appropriate compensations. In this way, Aunt Fuchang's good-looking face is also full of the love of the two of you."

Wei Ning smiled warmly, "I obey the order."

The matter of reconciliation is settled here.

How could Princess Fuchang be reconciled to her daughter being kicked out of the house? Knowing that her son was the first to tell the truth to death in front of the emperor, she was very angry, but it was not good to embarrass her son in the Xingyuan Garden, and she had to quarrel with her son when she returned home.

Even the Marquis of Beichang was dissatisfied with the eldest son's decision. He frowned and said, "Your sister has nothing wrong with it. If you just return it from your husband's house like this, our Marquis will lose all face."

Du Rufang blocked his mother's mouth first, "Mother, do you know about Rumei's transfer of her husband's property? What kind of family is our family? We can't pay for our real estate and shop, so why bother to covet Cheng'en Gong's family property?" Things! If this cannot be spread, don’t say that Rumei will confess for the rest of her life, it’s your mother, the majestic eldest princess, who must be suspected of instigating her daughter to scheme for her son-in-law’s family fortune! Could it be that this would be embarrassing! Do you still want your mother? Go out for a walk, sons, do you still want to be human in the imperial capital!" Beichanghou didn't know about property or not, Du Rufang had to tell his father about it, Beichanghou stumbled and sighed, "Princess, what are you doing? what."

Princess Fuchang said stubbornly, "Stop talking nonsense, it's clear that Wei Lao Er was eating, drinking, whoring and gambling outside and lost his family business. Your sister can't live well, and I'm afraid that Wei Lao Er will not look good, ask me I took the money from my private house and bought it back at a high price. I was afraid that Wei's second son would lose the family, so I didn't give it to them. Could it be that mother, I haven't seen anything, and I like the rags of the Wei family!"

"What is my origin, what is his Wei family's origin! You marry one by one, whether it is the dowry of the daughter-in-law or the dowry of the daughter-in-law, see which one I have taken and used!" said the eldest princess of Fuchang. His eyes were red, tears welled up slowly, and he wiped his tears and said, "You will believe what other people say. I am your mother. When did you treat you badly, why do you just watch others treat you like shit? Put it on your mother's head and keep silent." As he said that, he punched Du Rufang a few times, pulled his son's sleeve and began to cry, "You think I really have a crush on the Wei family, don't you? Wronged for your sister. Your sister has been soaking in Huanglian water all these years. If the Wei family dares to say no to it, why should the Wei family do it? I just want to seek justice for your sister. "

"If the matter of the Wei family's property is as mother said," Du Rufang looked at his mother's face carefully, and said, "Rumei is also my own sister. I can no longer allow others to tarnish her reputation. Mother will give me the evidence." , I will go to the Wei family to seek justice. In the imperial capital, how many people have passed through those properties are clearly recorded, as long as the people who have passed through are found out, the truth will be known."

Princess Fuchang just wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, but refused to make a sound.

Du Rufang continued, "Why don't you just follow my mother's wishes and make a big fuss with him. After the first trial by the Ministry of Punishment, I will give up on this official, and I have to make the Wei family look good."

Princess Fuchang stared at her tearful eyes and said, "You want to kill me and your sister, right?"

Knowing the truth of the matter, Du Rufang was discouraged for a while, and sighed, "Mother just keep those things for Rumei. The Wei family said, and the dowry will be returned intact. These properties can be regarded as compensation for Rumei."

"This is your sister's stuff."

"Mother, don't go out and talk about it. The property, no matter how you say it, originally belonged to the Wei family. According to what my mother said, you bought it. But you, a mother-in-law, really bought something from the son-in-law's house and didn't return it. That's all, if you just keep it in your hand, it won't matter if anyone listens to it." Du Rufang rubbed his brows wearily, "Mom, let's find a day and put it all under Rumei's name."

The Marquis of Beichang had been married to Princess Fuchang for many years, and he could see the difference in his wife's expression, so he sighed secretly, "Rumei is not in a good mood these two days, princess, go and see her, and advise her to think about it."

After dismissing the eldest princess of Fuchang, Beichanghou said to his son, "Although we are at peace with the Wei family, we don't have to make trouble like enemies, but make people laugh. I still have some things in my hand, give them to Ziyao." , we are a majestic Marquis, we can't take advantage of others with a shallow eyelid."

Du Rufang did not refuse, "Where is the mother..."

"Your mother doesn't know. I just want to tell you that it was originally planned to share a share with your brothers. Your sister's life should be considered as a subsidy for her." Beichanghou thought to himself, the Wei family may not He will ask for these things, but he is the honor of the Marquis, so of course he has to show the bearing of the Marquis Mansion.

Du Rufang nodded, "It's better to ask mother to quickly find Rumei a husband."

The Marquis of Beichang sighed, he was really sad to have such sons and daughters.
