Chapter 81
Zhongshun was full of resentment, but he didn't expect the emperor to disregard brotherly affection at all.

But Zhongshun didn't know that, let alone having no brotherly feelings for him, the emperor had long wanted to deal with Prince Zhongshun.

At the beginning Zhongshun relied on the crown prince and didn't even look at the other brothers.

That's fine, but Zhongshun is really annoying sometimes. In the past, the emperor did not have the love of his biological mother, and Zhongshun would laugh at the emperor every time he saw him.

The emperor always held grudges, so he couldn't do anything about Zhongshun back then, but he always remembered that after he ascended the throne, Zhongshun was still unconvinced and caused himself a lot of trouble.

If it weren't for the fact that the Supreme Emperor was still there, the emperor was worried that the Supreme Emperor would think that he was too mean, so Zhongshun would have been dealt with long ago.

Now that he has the opportunity, the emperor will definitely not be lenient. However, although Zhongshun made many mistakes, they were all minor mistakes. No matter how much the emperor used them to make excuses, he would not be too harsh.

The main reason is that the Supreme Emperor's filial piety period has not yet passed, and he has just cut Lao Jiu's title. If Zhong Shun is severely punished now, the clan will probably feel that he is too ruthless. By then, everyone will be in danger, and the instability of the clan will not be good for the emperor.

So the emperor only fined Zhongshun one year's salary and banned him from leaving the house for three months.

Although the emperor's punishment was not heavy, Zhongshun has been going smoothly for so many years. The biggest setback was the prince's rebellion, and he did not ascend the throne as a result.

But even so, the Supreme Emperor indulged him very much because of this, and he never suffered a disadvantage, even the emperor tolerated him a little.

Now Zhongshun is naturally dissatisfied with this result, and Zhongshun was too arrogant and domineering in the past, making many enemies. Once the emperor's attitude comes out, it is estimated that more people will join him in the future.

But Zhongshun is useless no matter how disobedient he is, without the Supreme Emperor, he is just a toothless dog, unable to resist at all.

Originally, Jia She thought that the matter would be over in this way, but he did not expect that Jia Zheng had a problem with his brain circuit.

Although Jia Zhu told Jia Lian not to tell about what happened that day, he didn't expect that something went wrong on his own side.

After the boy Jia Zhu brought back that day, he drank with the other servants in the second room and told the matter as a story. Originally, he thought that just those few people would know about it, but the servants in the second room became more and more loose-mouthed.

It didn't take long for Jia Zhu's story to spread throughout the house. Of course, no matter how courageous these servants were, they would not dare to talk nonsense in front of Jia Zheng and Wang.

But they dare not, Hongxiu dare!The maid serving Hongxiu told Hongxiu about this, and Hongxiu seized the opportunity to sue Jia Zhu again in front of Jia Zheng.

In the past, Hongxiu sowed discord in front of Jia Zheng purely because she wanted to get revenge on Wang Shi, but now that she is pregnant with a child, she has more thoughts.

The Wang family can no longer have children, so Jia Zhu is the only legitimate son. If Jia Zhu dies, if his stomach is a boy, then the second wife's family business will be his own.

As for Aunt Zhao, Hongxiu didn't take her seriously at all, thinking she was an idiot.

So Hongxiu told Jia Zheng about it with embellishments, but Hongxiu had nothing good to say.

According to Hong Xiuyi, it seems that Jia Zhu followed Jia Lian to deliberately provoke the third son of King Zhongshun.

Hongxiu knew Jia Zheng's feelings towards Jia She and said that Jia Zhu was deliberately trying to please Jia Lian.

"Master, this concubine is worried about you. I am afraid that the palace will retaliate against you for offending the Zhongshun Palace so much!"

When Jia Zheng heard that Jia Zhu and Jia Lian had attacked the third son of Zhongshun Palace, he was angry and afraid.

Apart from Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng was submissive to other dignitaries, especially after he was dismissed from office, he was even more afraid of offending those dignitaries.

Unexpectedly, Jia Zhu dared to offend King Zhongshun. Jia Zheng stayed away from the court, not knowing that the emperor had long been dissatisfied with Zhongshun, and he thought about the miserable fate of those who offended King Zhongshun in the past.

Moreover, Jia Zheng is now very jealous of Jia She. He lost his official position and resigned, while Jia She rose to prominence. Jia Zheng felt very unbalanced.

Knowing that Jia Zhu was hanging out with Jia Lian, Hongxiu said that it seemed that Jia Zhu intended to cling to Jia Lian, Jia Zheng was even more furious.

"Call me that wicked beast!" Jia Zheng yelled directly at the boy next to him.

Jia Zhu was originally reading in the study, but after the incident at Prince Zhongshun's mansion, Jia Zhu deeply felt that she didn't even have the strength to protect herself.

So after he returned to the mansion, he also calmed down and studied hard, thinking that he must pass the exam, so that he would not be so humiliated.

Jia Zhu is actually quite smart. In the past, she was just too preoccupied to study at ease. After she really made up her mind, she made rapid progress in her studies.

One day, he was studying hard in the study room when the servant beside him rushed over in a panic, "Master, it's not good. Master knows what happened a while ago, and now someone is coming to arrest you. He wants to question you. My wife is not here today. You better hide!"

Jia Zhu shook her hand holding the book, she was still scared, but she thought that this matter was not her fault at all, and if she hid for a while, she would not be able to hide forever.

Even if Mrs. Wang comes back, with Jia Zheng's current attitude towards Mrs. Wang, it will not be good for Mrs. Wang if she quarrels because of herself.

Thinking of this, Jia Zhu shook her head, "No need to hide, it's not my fault in this matter. I must have just asked me to ask."

As soon as he finished speaking, people around Jia Zheng ran over. Now that the Wang family in the mansion is gradually losing power, many people have changed their minds.

Following Jia Zheng Hongxiu on weekdays has benefited them a lot, and now they have all joined Hongxiu.

So these few were not polite to Jia Zhu at all, they really put Jia Zhu up and pulled him directly in front of Jia Zheng.

Originally, Jia Zhu wanted to explain what was going on, but he didn't expect that Jia Zheng wouldn't listen, and just started cursing directly.

Jia Zhu was used to Jia Zheng swearing at people, and she kept her head down and listened quietly, but Jia Zheng not only scolded Jia Zhu, but even Jia Lian had bad things to say.

The last time Jia Zhu was caught by those three sons, she was already in despair, but Jia Lian stretched out a helping hand to save herself.

Moreover, Jia Lian's identity is completely different now, but he still has close respect for Jia Zhu. Jia Zhu thought Jia Lian was putting on airs, but after the last time, he really thanked Jia Lian.

So when Jia Zheng said that Jia Zhu shouldn't be with that dude Jia Lian, Jia Zhu couldn't help but talk back.

This time, Jia Zheng was completely offended. He felt that his authority was being challenged, so he directly had Jia Zhu tied up and beaten.

The person who beat him last time did not dare to be cruel, but this time the person who did it has already taken advantage of Hong Xiu, so he really beat him desperately.

Jia Zheng listened to Jia Zhu's yelling fiercely, and felt that Jia Zhu did it on purpose, and even asked someone to gag him.

Jia Zheng originally wanted to teach Jia Zhu a lesson, thinking that he was fine after beating him dozens of boards last time, so this time he let someone beat Jia Zhu 50 boards.

But Jia Zheng was pampered, how could his strength compare with those servants, those people took the money, thinking that Jia Zhu was a big man, and it would be okay to suffer a few boards, so he didn't hold back at all. Look, Jia Zhu is actually out of breath.
