The legitimate daughter was reborn, and the emperor’s little Jiaojiao went crazy.
Chapter 368 That was the stain on his life
Xiao Changle felt a tightness in his chest after hearing this.
Because he could tell that this was definitely not a made-up story, "We can't just let it go like this, can we?"
"Zhao Shun can't just let it go like this. He must go to the yamen and beat the drum to appeal for justice. The official who handles the case is still this official." Cen Yuan lowered his eyes and drank. When he raised his head, he found that Xiao Changle had put down his chopsticks and was listening attentively.
He continued, "The official investigated again and found that this was a false case. He indirectly killed Zhao Shun's parents. He felt very guilty, but what was the use? The person still died."
Xiao Changle couldn't help but tense up. He asked himself, with his personality, maybe he couldn't do better than this official.
He asked, "What happened next?"
Cen Yuan said calmly, "Later, because of guilt, the official resigned and returned home to farm."
What he didn't say was that when the Northern Wing was in danger, the official threw away his hoe and rushed to the battlefield, where he met Zhao Shun in his Qingyu Army.
Faced with a powerful enemy, the two men put aside their personal grudges and fought together.
In the "Battle of Lubei", the Northern Wing defeated the 300,000-strong coalition army for the first time with only 100,000 troops. It was the most memorable battle in the history of the Northern Wing.
It was also in that battle that General Wei Bei escaped and returned to Liang State.
In that battle, Zhao Shun came back carrying the remains of the dead official.
The official's body was covered in blood, one of his hands was cut off, and the cut on his shoulder had turned black and rotten.
His legs had been chopped so many times that one of his feet was missing, and there was no intact skin or flesh on his body.
An arrow pierced his body, and that was a fatal wound, hitting his heart.
Zhao Shun cried and kept repeating one sentence, "It was Zhongxiang who saved me! It was Zhongxiang who saved me!"
The official's surname was Zhong, his given name was Xiang, and he was from Yuhe. He was 39 years old when he died.
He was determined to be an honest official and work for the benefit of the people of Beiyi all his life, but a serious injustice and miscarriage of justice occurred under his leadership.
He was deceived by a woman!
That was a stain on his life.
When an arrow was heading straight for Zhao Shun, Zhong Xiang used his remaining hand to push Zhao Shun away and was pierced through the heart by the arrow.
When he died, he left with a smile. He said, "Shun'er, I'm sorry... I'll go downstairs and apologize to your parents first..."
Zhao Shun knelt beside Zhong Xiang's body and refused to get up for a long time.
After being reborn, Cen Yuan took the opportunity to disrupt Zhao Shun's marriage and prevent him from marrying that bad woman.
Cen Yuan raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Changle, "I hope you won't be like this official. Sometimes when you are dealing with people and solving cases, you can't be too rigid. You need to use your brain more for everything."
Xiao Changle wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, stood up, and bowed deeply to him, "Young Master, I am grateful for your advice."
When the two of them parted, Cen Yuan took out a letter and said, "This is from your sister. Go back and read it."
A few days ago, Shi Anxia guessed that Xiao Changle was embarrassed to see her, so she wrote a letter and asked Cen Yuan to pass it on when Xiao Changle left Beijing.
Xiao Changle took it with great care, put it in his sleeve, and said, "We will say goodbye tomorrow, and I don't know when we will meet again. Changle hopes that the young master and my sister will love each other till we grow old, and live a life without worries."
Cen Yuan also bowed deeply and returned the greeting, "I'll give you my good wishes."
When the two parted, the rain stopped and the wind died down.
Cen Yuan returned home just in time for curfew.
This house has four courtyards.
The house is large, but not many people live there. So for the convenience of travel, the main courtyard was set up in the second courtyard. Now the third and fourth courtyards are still empty.
After passing through the first courtyard and exiting the moon-shaped gate, there is a corridor connected to the hanging flower gate. After turning a corner, you will reach the main courtyard.
As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, Bei Hui and the others jumped for joy, running inside and shouting, "Hurry, hurry, the son-in-law is back. Nan Yan, go to the kitchen and heat up the lotus seed soup to warm the son-in-law's stomach."
Nan Yan said briskly, "Yes."
The news had already been passed on, and Hongque was busy getting hot water and wringing out a wet towel to wash her brother-in-law's face.
The maids thought that the girl and her husband could not have their wedding night, and they were afraid that the husband would have some thoughts and resentment in his heart, so they rushed to please him, at least to take good care of him in life.
When Anxia heard the noise outside, she knew that Cen Yuan had returned, so she got up and walked out of the main room.
This is Tinglan Courtyard, which is also the main courtyard of the entire house.
She was wearing a moon-white brocade dress, standing gracefully in the corridor and smilingly greeted him, "My husband is back."
Cen Yuan felt warm in his heart.
I like to hear her say gently, "My husband is back," and I like to see her standing quietly in the corridor with a beautiful smile on her face.
This was the scene he had imagined for thousands of days and nights, and now it was right in front of him. He smiled tenderly at her, "I had come back a long time ago, and was thinking of having dinner with you. But I ran into Xiao Changle at the door, so I went out for a drink with him."
When he went out, he left a message for the doorman, so he was not worried about Shi Anxia waiting for him.
Shi Anxia walked forward, took the wet towel from Hongque and handed it to him, asking him to wash his face.
Cen Yuan took the handkerchief and wiped her face, then handed it to Hong Que.
He took a step back and said, "I've been drinking and I smell like alcohol."
Shi Anxia reached out and pulled him with a smile, "I made some tea, just in time to help you sober up."
No one lives in the main house now, and the two of them live in the east and west wing rooms respectively.
The main house faces north and south, and the interior layout is also very unique.
The floor was paved with white jade, and on top of it was a thick carpet of gold-threaded jade velvet. On the sandalwood table, an exquisite incense burner was emitting clouds of agarwood.
Next to the incense burner, there is a set of jade tea cups.
The aroma of tea is everywhere, and even the air is filled with fragrance.
The two sat opposite each other.
Shi Anxia was silent for a moment, then got straight to the point, "Husband, I have something to discuss with you."
As she spoke, she poured a cup of tea for Cen Yuan and placed it in front of him.
"You say." Cen Yuan picked up the cup and took a sip. After drinking, his mouth was dry.
Shi Anxia said, "I walked around the courtyard today and found that the three and four courtyards were all well decorated, and it would be a waste to leave them empty. So I thought..."
"Do you want to bring your mother to live with you?" Cen Yuan had actually been thinking about this issue for a long time.
Once the conflict with the Empress Dowager intensifies, it will be unsafe for my mother-in-law to live in Fushuang Road.
Although it’s not far away, it’s still out of reach. How can it be safe here?
Shi Anxia was unsure of what Cen Yuan meant, "Is my request a bit too much?"
Which son-in-law would be willing to live under the same roof with his mother-in-law? He really thinks he is marrying into the family.
Cen Yuan smiled, "I am marrying into the family. I will go and pick up my mother to live here tomorrow. But I will ask people to move the things that were just moved here to this side again."
This should be the first person to marry into his wife's family and bring his own luxury house.
Shi Anxia's eyes sparkled, "Do you agree?"
Cen Yuan nodded, "I had this plan originally."
Shi Anxia breathed a sigh of relief. He had prepared a lot of ideas today, thinking about how to start the discussion with him, but he didn't expect it to be solved so easily.
Then I heard Cen Yuan say, "From now on, you can make your own decisions on these matters. Don't worry about it."
She raised her clear eyes and nodded at him, with dimples on the corners of her mouth faintly visible. "I know! I thought you would be unhappy."
"Do you care whether I'm happy or not?" Cen Yuan looked at her with burning eyes.
In her pupils, the candlelight and his image danced, "You are my husband, so of course you care. Why don't you ask me why I want to bring mother to live with me?"
Cen Yuan asked, "Are you worried about safety?"
Shi Anxia was silent for a moment, "That's one thing; but now I'm more worried about the other thing..."
"Emperor Mingde!" Cen Yuan blurted out.
Emperor Mingde, who was reviewing memorials at this moment, suddenly sneezed and frowned: There are always villains who want to harm me... Who is plotting against me?
