Queen Mother, she just wants to lie down

"Princess, please come this way." Hu Zhen quickly arranged a separate room for them.

"Mother..." Jiang Honghui called out somewhat uncomfortably after entering the room.

"Are you disappointed to hear that I'm not here to get you?" Yu Ronghua, a seasoned man, could naturally see through his son's thoughts at a glance.

"I don't dare to have such an idea. It's my son who has embarrassed his mother." Jiang Honghui lowered his gaze.

"Sit down and talk." After Ronghua sat down, he pointed to another chair.

Hu Zuo is a person who knows how to do things. He arranged a table and two chairs in the room.

Looking at his son who looked sluggish and uneasy, Ronghua sighed softly.

This kid Honghui is usually so high-spirited, but after just two days in an informal cell, he seemed to be a completely different person.

In good times, he is a young man from an aristocratic family who is sought after by the world and has both talent and appearance.

When faced with adversity, his true colors are immediately revealed.

How can such a mind be able to take on big things?

Jiang Honghui felt increasingly uneasy as he listened to his mother's sigh, and carefully sat down opposite her.

"Does the murder case the day before yesterday have anything to do with you?" Ronghua looked at him and asked.

"No, it has nothing to do with my son." Jiang Honghui was slightly stunned, silent for a moment, and then said.

"Then why did you hang out with Ruan Zhaoxiang twice in a row? I remember you looked down on him before." Ronghua frowned.

"Son..." Jiang Honghui's heart tightened and he didn't know how to answer.

"You know my temper, I want to listen to the truth." Ronghua's tone was a bit stern.

“The marriage between the Ruan family and the Jiang family is not good for my mother.

The son wanted to help his mother, but his good intentions led to bad things. However, the death of the theater maid really had nothing to do with the son. It was just an accident.

Ruan Zhaoxiang was very unwilling to be forced to be the son-in-law of the Jiang family, so his son took advantage of this and asked Zhou Xin to trick him out.

While watching a play in the theater, Zhou Xin and others kept teasing him, saying that the eldest daughter of the Jiang family was already a fourth-rank general, and that when he married into the Jiang family, he could be as rich as his wife...

Ruan Zhaoxiang was so angry that at this moment, the maid from the theater came in with tea.

The girl had a graceful appearance. In order to show that he was not afraid of Miss Jiang, Ruan Zhaoxiang pulled the girl into his arms...

Unexpectedly, the girl had a strong personality. The window sill in our room was very low, and there were some oil stains from food on it. During the pull, the girl slipped and fell..."

Jiang Honghui did not dare to hide it anymore and quickly told what happened.

"You look down on men who rely on women for their lives?" Ronghua narrowed his eyes slightly.

"That's right, a man should stand upright..." Jiang Honghui responded subconsciously.

"But your father and you rely on me. Even your Jiang family can still retain the title of Super Grade Duke because of me."

"No, mother, mother, how can it be the same? You are the most noble eldest princess of our Daxi Dynasty..."

Jiang Honghui was like a chicken whose neck was suddenly pinched, his face turned red.

"What's different? I am the eldest daughter of the eldest daughter, so I can give your father and the Jiang family a higher status.

The eldest daughter of the Jiang family is not bad either. She is the only daughter of the mighty general of this dynasty, and she is even more brave.

She relied on her own ability to recruit a son-in-law, what is there that deserves your ridicule?" Ronghua looked at him coldly.

Jiang Honghui looked at his mother dumbfounded. He suddenly realized that he seemed to have never understood his mother.

"For you to take action against Ruan Zhaoxiang, was it your own idea, or the idea of ​​your father or the Jiang family?" Rong Hua ignored what he was thinking and continued to ask.

"Of course it's my son's own idea." Jiang Honghui said.

Although his father and uncle both mentioned this matter to him, it was indeed him who took the initiative to approach Ruan Zhaoxiang.

What my father and uncle said was right, only my mother could always firmly control the power in her hands, and even serve as the regent and princess.

Only then can the Chiang family continue to prosper, and he can do whatever he wants and do what he wants.

Helping my mother is helping the Jiang family and myself.

"Okay, since you said it was your idea, let me tell you clearly that the fight between my mother and the Queen Mother is my own business, and you don't need to interfere.

If your mother's skills are not as good as others and you can't beat her, and your mother admits it, you can rest assured that no matter success or failure, your mother will not harm you or the Jiang family.

But the mistakes you have made cannot be treated as if they never happened. If you said that the girl's death yesterday had nothing to do with you, my mother will believe you for now.

But even if you are not directly responsible, you are still jointly and severally responsible. If you had not instigated Zhou Xin and deceived Ruan Zhaoxiang, this disaster would not have happened at all.

His Majesty has issued an order in court today, requiring Hu Fuyin to find out the truth of the matter within five days and impose a sentence according to law.

The girl who died was not a slave, but a son of a good family.

If the cause of death is found to be murder, the principal offender will be sentenced to death by hanging, the accomplice will be sentenced to one hundred canes and three years in prison.

You are my son after all. Even if your recent behavior makes me very dissatisfied, I cannot just watch you be sentenced to exile.

But you are blatantly plotting against the Queen Mother's natal nephew. Even if she doesn't want to see this nephew anymore, you will not pay any price.

In order to appease the Queen Mother's anger and to make a reasonable explanation to the people of the world, I will clear the joints and turn your exile into a denigration.

You are already an official of the Hanlin Academy. When the time comes, your mother will find you a remote and poor lower-class county and ask you to go there and be the county magistrate. Do you have any objections? Ronghua asked, staring at him.

Of course Jiang Honghui had objections. As the eldest son of the most powerful princess in the dynasty and the direct grandson of the Jiang family, why should he be demoted to a penniless place as a county magistrate after making a small mistake?

But facing his mother's gaze that showed no trace of tenderness, he could only say with difficulty: "My son is willing to accept his mother's arrangements."

"Very good, if you can rely on your own ability to turn a lower-class poor county into a middle-class or even a high-class county within three or more years, it means that my teachings over the years have not been in vain.

When you return to Beijing, your path to promotion will naturally become smoother.

If you arrive at the place and do nothing, it means that you are not suitable for officialdom at all. From now on, you can just be a rich and idle person.

As my son, even if you do nothing, I should be able to ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing throughout your life.

But there is something ugly that I need to say first. If you still want to die when you get there, even if you really want to die, I will never care about you again. "When Rong Hua said the last sentence, his tone was particularly cold.

Jiang Honghui's hands under the table were clenched tightly unconsciously, and the resentment in his lowered eyes could hardly be concealed.

My mother was always like this, she was always like this, she was always so aloof in front of the Chiang family.

Even though her starting point was clearly for his own good, once she lost her face, she immediately became estranged and ruthless.

Speaking of which, she and Queen Mother Ruan are really the same kind of person.

For the sake of power, Queen Mother Ruan would not hesitate to sacrifice her biological nephew.

And his mother, after discovering that he had embarrassed her, pushed him out without hesitation...

After leaving Jingzhao Mansion, Nanny Yang, who had been following him, couldn't help but say: "Princess, if you treat the eldest son like this, I'm afraid he will have knots in his heart."

"I know that the anger in his eyes just now can hardly be concealed, but nothing can be done without polishing it.

In terms of intelligence and talent, Hui'er is not lacking, but his character is too bad. If he is not released and polished, how will he be able to shoulder his due responsibilities in the future. "Ronghua said with a difficult expression.

No matter how strong she is, she is still a mother.

It made her feel uncomfortable to speak in such a cold and ruthless tone to the son whom she had truly loved for more than twenty years.

"But in case..."
