Huang Xi lives from me

"used to be?"

Meaning... not now? !

Jing Sheng looked at Su Qian with some doubts.

Su Qian looked at the tea kettle on the small red clay stove, and suddenly, she seemed to see the tea pavilion in Su Mansion.

The Chenxiang Pavilion located by the Ming Pool carried Su Qian's childhood.She still remembered that there was a hundred-year-old Lianli cypress by the pavilion, and there was a swing under the tree, and Yaoyao, who was tied with a small rope, liked to sit on it with the mandarin duck-eyed lion cat in her arms, and let the little maids sit behind her. Push, the silver bell-like laughter is louder than the chirping of cicadas in summer.

And in that Chenxiang pavilion, there is a red sandalwood mountain water tea table, on which new tea is cooked in a small red clay stove, and amidst the faint sound of the piano, cardamom girls are fighting tea around the stove...

"Ah Qian?" Seeing Su Qian staring at the cup of tea in a daze, Jing Sheng couldn't help calling out.

Su Qian returned to her senses, raised her eyes again, and when she looked at Jing Sheng, there was a gentle smile in her eyes as always. "What's wrong?"

"Ah Qian... Do you know Mrs. Xie's young lady?" Jing Sheng asked curiously.

"She is Ming Suguang's boudoir close friend, she can also be regarded as... Bengong's childhood friend."

"Ming Suguang?!" Jing Sheng and Jun Xi said the name almost in unison.

Jing Sheng knew Ming Suguang because Su Qian told her that Ming Suguang almost became her sister-in-law.

And Jun Xi knows Ming Suguang because Ming Suguang is Princess Daning who is close to Dongmo.

"Well," Su Qian nodded her head lightly, indicating that it was the Ming Suguang they knew. "However, ever since Sister Suguang got married to Dongmo, Bengong and Meng Changxi have no interaction."

This matter was due to the unkindness of the Su family and Su Yu's betrayal of Ming Suguang, so Meng Changxi hated seeing the Su family very much. After Ming Suguang, Meng Changxi never spoke to Su Qian again.

Now Meng Changxi suddenly handed over a sign into the East Palace, begging to see Su Qian, which surprised Su Qian.

Thinking of this, Su Qian glanced at the palace man who came in to report, and asked, "Mrs. Mrs. Xie's family... where is she now?"

"Return to Your Highness, Mrs. Xie's young lady is waiting outside the Nine Immortals Gate."

Ordinary people hand in the sign to enter the palace to ask for an audience, they hand in the sign a few days in advance, and then wait in the mansion, waiting for the nobles above to summon.

But today, outside the Nine Immortals Gate, the young lady of the Xie family waited quietly at the gate of the palace, as if it was expected that the Crown Princess would summon her immediately.

"Call her in." Su Qian ordered lightly.

"No." The palace man took the order and went down.

After half a stick of incense, Jing Sheng saw Meng Changxi who was introduced into the palace by Lianyue. It was a woman with a scent of books, as elegant as a lotus, and the kind of chastity and tranquility unique to ladies in the Central Plains was vividly reflected in her.

"The courtier's wife has met Her Royal Highness, the Princess, and Liang Di." Meng Changxi greeted Su Qian, Jun Xi, and Jing Sheng according to the etiquette, and her every move was graceful and measured.

Su Qian nodded lightly and said, "Give me a seat."

After the words fell, the well-trained palace servants led Meng Changxi to her seat.

"Bring tea."

The maid who served tea offered tea cups and tea soup to Meng Changxi.

Amidst the faint tea fragrance, several people drank the tea quietly.

Jing Sheng held the teacup and while drinking lightly, she did not forget to secretly look at Meng Changxi and Su Qian.But I found that the two people were alienated, not like the so-called "old friends" at all.

Meng Changxi drank her tea quietly, raised her eyes, and looked at the person sitting there calmly.

Gentle and elegant, graceful.

Has that little girl from back then grown so big?

Ever since Suguang left Daning, Meng Changxi never had any interaction with Su Qian.In fact, Meng Changxi knew in her heart that she shouldn't blame her.

But looking at this girl, she remembered that year, when she opened the door of Suguang Xiulou, she saw Suguang hanging on the beam.Seeing the mighty wedding procession taking away her best friend!

Su family!Su Yu!

They made Suguang so desperate that he couldn't survive!In the end, I had no choice but to leave Daning and go to the Eastern Desert, where the sky was full of yellow sand.

"Mrs. Xie." Su Qian spoke first, breaking the silence. "You entered the palace this time to seek an audience, why?"

Meng Changxi took a deep breath, the hands clenched tightly in her sleeves, the nails had sunk into the palm of her hand, but she didn't know it.

She never thought that one day she would come to beg the Su family.Just thinking of that Yuge girl, she had no choice but to speak. "His Royal Highness, you can hear that the wife in Beijing recently told her husband."

Hearing this, before Su Qian could speak, Jun Xi spoke first. "This palace knows! Isn't it your fifth sister-in-law who sued my uncle?"

Jun Xi's eyes were sparkling, and his face was full of curiosity.

"Sister Huang." Su Qian called softly, which made Jun Xi put away her excited expression.

"I'm sorry." Jun Xi was a little embarrassed, but this matter was too popular recently, and she was just curious.

Su Qian ignored her curiosity and turned to look at Meng Changxi. "Mrs. Xie is here for your sister-in-law?"

"Yes," Meng Changxi's brows were clearly tired, "My wife is here for the child, please help her, Your Highness."

"If you came here because of her suing her husband, you don't have to worry so much. Your Majesty has newly amended the law, and the new official takes office three times. Dali Temple does not dare to bend the law for personal gain."

Shen Yuge was the first woman to sue her husband to Dali Temple since the founding of Daning!The law he holds is also the new law that Emperor Wu revised because of the "Princess Princess Case".

"Those who beat and injure their wives will be reduced to mortals; the dead will be treated as mortals. If the couple divorces as they wish, they will be convicted and divorced." Su Qian read out the new law revised this year, "This is the new law revised by His Majesty himself. It was written on the Daning Law with my own hand! Since Xie Boran beat his wife, he will certainly bear the consequences."

"The minister's wife is not worried that she will lose the lawsuit."

In fact, Shen Yuge's parents hired the best lawyer in the world for her, and with the newly revised law, there is almost no suspense in this lawsuit.

"Then what is the young lady worried about?"

Meng Changxi sighed, "It is clearly stipulated in the Daning Law that a son should not sue his father, and a wife should not sue her husband! Although it is true that a wife sues her husband, she must still be imprisoned for two years and then exiled."

That is to say, if a wife and her husband file a lawsuit and report on the husband, no matter right or wrong, the wife will be imprisoned for two years and then exiled.

"You Central Plains still have such regulations?!" Jing Sheng was dumbfounded.

Isn't this a flagrant violation of judicial justice? !

Su Qian looked at the puzzled expression on her child's face, "There is a rule in the etiquette law that "you must hide the prime minister if you kiss each other". That is to say, if your relative commits a crime, the etiquette allows you to hide the crime for him."

"Isn't this covering up?" Jing Sheng asked puzzled.

"Etiquette pays attention to the relationship between father and son, and the way of husband and wife. Therefore, although there are disasters, the etiquette still adheres to the natural principles and human relations of "sincere love in the heart, and the utmost kindness". Therefore..."

Su Qian didn't continue the next words, but Jing Sheng already understood the meaning of the words.

"So, even if the woman who suffered domestic violence wins the case against her husband, she still has to go to jail and exile?"
