After Rebirth, I Became the Treacherous Minister Black Moonlight

Chapter 59 The edict arrives

Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows: "Really? Yu Zichuan, you heard wrong."

"I heard that right!"

A voice came from high up, and everyone looked up, only to find a young man in green sitting on the roof.

Yu Zichuan jumped down, pointed at Lu Linglong and said, "She gave me the medicine!"

The Minister of Rites asked in confusion: "Miss Lu, why did you drug your own grandmother and mother? Patricide is a serious crime of beheading!"

When he heard that he was about to be beheaded, Lu Linglong was scared out of his wits: "I didn't want to drug my grandmother and mother! I...I wanted to drug my sister-in-law! I thought it was just a laxative! I just wanted to tease my sister-in-law!"

As she said this, she turned around and grabbed Nanny Wu, "Nanny Wu, please tell them quickly that it was you who said it! You said you have been angry recently and the bottle contains laxatives!"

"Giving laxatives to your sister-in-law? This is the teaching of your Lu family!"

Mrs. Wang and Censor Wang also entered the courtyard, and it was Mrs. Wang who spoke.

She turned her eyes, frowned and asked, "Why don't you see Mrs. Lu?"

After her reminder, everyone came to their senses. Yes, even the servants of the Lu family came out to pay homage to the governor, but the head mother was absent?

Yu Zichuan pointed to the Lu family: "They were afraid that she would talk nonsense, so they tied her up."

What?

He actually tied someone up?

Everyone looked at Lu Xingzhou in unison.

This is a bit too much, and it's not Mrs. Lu's medicine.

Lu Xingzhou said seriously: "This is a household matter of my Lu family and has nothing to do with you."

Mrs. Wang said coldly: "Whether it matters or not is up to you! Cuiliu, follow me in and rescue Mrs. Lu!"

She used the word "save".

Lu Xingzhou raised his hand to stop her: "Wang Yushi, please take care of your wife and don't interfere with the affairs of my Lu family's back house."

Wang Yushi said frankly: "I am afraid of myself."

The corner of Lu Xingzhou's mouth twitched: "Aren't you afraid of being censored by the censor—"

Wang Yushi: "I am Yushi."

Lu Xingzhou: "..."

Mrs. Wang brought her maid into the house. When she saw Meng Qianqian tied to a chair, she almost cursed!

"The shameless Lu family abuses their daughter-in-law like this!"

She quickly picked up the strips of cloth and untied the rope.

It was freezing cold, and her hands were frozen, causing pain in every finger.

The old lady and the second lady's stomachs began to hurt again, and the medicine seemed to have a strong effect in waves, and they were tortured until half of their lives.

Mrs. Wang was extremely angry: "You deserve it!"

Mrs. Wang helped Meng Qianqian out of the house.

At this time, Lu Xingzhou's face had become extremely ugly, and Lu Lingxiao's was no less generous, but his heart was more complicated.

Whether it's sudden situations or his father who seems to have become a different person.

He couldn't forget the murderous look in his father's eyes when he ordered Meng Qianqian to be kidnapped...so strange that he couldn't accept it.

But that was his father after all. As a son, how could he disobey him?

Meng Qianqian, supported by Mrs. Wang, passed him by without even looking at him.

He suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

The officials and female relatives looked at the pale and haggard Meng Qianqian and couldn't help but sigh.

Meng Qianqian came to the center of the courtyard, slowly knelt down, and saluted everyone: "Masters and ladies, please make the decision for this little girl!"

Mrs. Wang said: "Get up and speak!"

Mrs. Liu also came to help her: "Mrs. Lu, get up quickly! If you have any grievances, just say it. My father is here, and he will make the decision for you! Don't be afraid!"

"snort."

Lu Yan snorted coldly.

Marquis Yongen broke into a cold sweat and said quickly: "Don't talk nonsense! The Grand Governor has his own decision. When will it be our turn to make irresponsible remarks?"

The governor was moody and had an unstable temperament. When he was happy, he would avenge a common man on the roadside, but when he was unhappy, he would regard the lives of innocent people as nothing.

The so-called justice is all in his mind.

Mrs. Wang always looked down upon Lu Yuan and pulled Meng Qianqian up: "Don't worry about the Governor! Why did the Lu family tie you up? You just say it's okay!"

Everyone gasped and looked at Wang Yushi sympathetically.

Wang Yushi held his head high and said: "My wife is not afraid of power. Are you envious?"

Everyone: If you are not a family, if you don’t enter the same family, you win.

Meng Qianqian calmed down and said solemnly: "The reason why the Lu family locked me up is because... I want to find out the facts, and also because the drug was originally intended to enter my stomach!"

Lu Linglong cried: "I told you I thought it was a laxative! Besides, didn't you take it too? Why are you being so unforgiving?"

Meng Qianqian's eyes were firm: "Why should I spare someone if I'm reasonable?" Lu Linglong choked: "You-"

Meng Qianqian turned around and looked at Nanny Wu, who wanted to dig a hole for herself and bury her in it: "Nanny Wu, tell me, am I right?"

Aunt Wu's eyes flashed: "Young lady... you don't want to do things like slaves..."

Meng Qianqian looked at her for a moment: "Where did the medicine come from? Who did you buy it for?"

"Medicine...medicine..."

Mother Wu did not dare to look directly into Meng Qianqian's eyes.

Meng Qianqian said calmly: "You are my grandmother's confidant, you can't use it for my grandmother, right? My mother and my second aunt both have sons, so I guess it's not for them. My younger sister just mistakenly took the anti-pregnancy medicine as... Sweet pill, I asked you to take it, but you lied that it was a laxative and you couldn’t take it, so it’s not for my little sister.”

Aunt Wu: "I...I..."

Meng Qianqian said calmly: "The outer room that my husband brought back is already two months pregnant, so I am the only one left. Do you know what the crime should be for murdering the mistress of the house?"

Mrs. Wang said: "I know this well, kill with a stick!"

Aunt Wu knelt down and said, "Mrs., please have mercy! Madam, please have mercy! This servant is also following orders... It was the old lady who asked me to buy the medicine! It is the old lady who wants to harm you!"

Meng Qianqian said coldly: "You are talking nonsense! Why did grandma harm me?"

Aunt Wu cried and cried: "If you didn't hand over the dowry money, the old lady wanted to use the child to manipulate you, so she bought the child-pregnant medicine, hoping that you would consummate the marriage with the eldest young master as soon as possible and give birth to a legitimate son."

Everyone was stunned.

She can also do things like seizing her grandson's daughter-in-law's dowry, and she uses such despicable methods. It's so vicious!

Wait, what did this servant just say? Let Mrs. Lu and Lu Lingxiao consummate their marriage as soon as possible?

After five years of marriage, they are no longer married!

Meng Qianqian said: "Do you know the consequences of falsely accusing the master?"

Aunt Wu said in panic: "Everything I say is true! I can swear to God! If you don't believe it, you can check it out. Isn't this the old lady's first-"

"You naughty slave!"

Lu Xingzhou kicked Nanny Wu in the chest and knocked her to the ground. She spit out a mouthful of blood on the spot and lost her breath.

Mrs. Wang frowned and said, "Mr. Lu! Are you trying to kill people and silence them?"

Lu Xingzhou said without changing his expression: "I found out something was wrong with her a long time ago. I approached her privately and asked her to return to her hometown for retirement. My mother also agreed, but my mother only cared about the master and servant and allowed her to spend the New Year at the Lu family. Let’s go, I never thought that she would use such despicable means to frame the Lu family because of her hatred! It’s unfortunate that this evil thief came out of our family, making everyone laugh.”

After he finished speaking, he did not forget to apologize to everyone.

Then he bowed to Mrs. Liu and Mr. Liu who came behind, "Brother Liu, Mrs. Sister-in-law, you have caused trouble to the Liu family. I am here to apologize to you two."

Master Liu looked at the servant in the snow and frowned.

"laugh."

Lu Yuan smiled disdainfully, "Lu Xingzhou, I think I am shameless enough, but I didn't expect you to be even worse than me."

Lu Lingxiao's face darkened, and he was about to step forward to argue, but was grabbed by Lu Xingzhou.

Lu Xingzhou said: "I have disturbed the Governor with household matters, and I will admit my guilt."

Lu Yuan looked at Meng Qianqian with a faint smile: "What did Mrs. Lu say?"

Meng Qianqian took two steps forward: "It has been five years since I married into the Lu family. My husband went off to war on the wedding night without taking off his hijab. He faked his death at the border and there is no news. I am a peaceful widow, serving my parents-in-law and honoring my ancestors." , brought a dowry of more than 100,000 taels, and all of it was used to support the Lu family. I have the utmost love, filial piety and justice for the Lu family, but it is obvious to everyone how my husband treats me and how my father-in-law forces me.

Since there is no evidence to prove the drug administration, it’s okay not to talk about it. I just want to ask the Minister of Punishment, is what my father-in-law and my sister-in-law did to me tonight, is it allowed by the law? "

The Minister of Punishment sighed and said: "My court decrees that a husband is not allowed to kill his wife or beat her to harm her. The husband's uncles, parents, brothers and sisters are also not allowed to do this. Otherwise, it will be righteous."

Meng Qianqian knelt down again and said: "I am the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and all my lords, I, Meng Qianqian, will break up with Lu Lingxiao today!"

A military commander shouted: "Oh my God! I'm going to divorce my husband!"

If a woman proposes divorce, doesn't that mean she is divorcing her husband?

Lu Lingxiao's face turned red: "Meng Qianqian!"

Lu Xingzhou forced himself to calm down and said to Meng Qianqian: "Your little sister has never hurt you. It is certainly wrong for her to have such thoughts. I will strictly discipline her later. As for me, I didn't lift a finger from you."

Mrs. Wang said: "You tied her up! And you said you didn't touch her?"

The old lady covered her stomach, staggered and held on to the door and said, "It's not tied...it's not tied! We can testify!"

The second lady held on and said: "Yes... we... can... testify..."

The Minister of Punishment said, "If there is insufficient evidence, it may be difficult for the Punishment Ministry to accept the case."

The Minister of Dali Temple sighed: "It's not that it's difficult to accept, it's just that I can't accept it."

The shouting general asked, "How do you say that?"

The minister of Dali Temple said: "Although there is such a law in this dynasty, there is no precedent. Since ancient times, it has been easy for men to divorce their wives. The world is inherently unfair to women. It is difficult to divorce two people who love each other and live happily together, let alone justice. Absolutely."

Lu Lingxiao frowned and looked at Meng Qianqian: "What are you making a fuss about? Aren't you embarrassed enough? Come back with me!"

He reached out to pull Meng Qianqian's wrist, but Meng Qianqian coldly shook it off.

Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes.

Shangguan Ling appeared silently behind Lu Yuan and whispered: "Grand Governor, the Lu family is too shameless. If this continues, there is no hope for Mrs. Lu to leave the Lu family. Do you want to-"

Halfway through his words, a high-pitched voice came from behind: "The imperial edict has arrived—"
