Reborn on the day of marriage! After the marriage exchange, the elder sister went crazy

The news that Yongxing's eldest son was hung at the gate of the Prince's Mansion and beaten soon reached Li Jinglan's ears.

Not long after, Prince Guangping came with his son to deliver gifts in person.

"Yesterday, this rebellious son mistook the top scholar for the third place..." Prince Guangping lowered his head and presented the gift list personally.

"I have some gifts for you, Mr. Tanhua. I hope you will accept them."

Li Jinglan took the gift list and took a look at it. It was very sumptuous.

Preparing such a gift list would cost Prince Guangping a lot of money.

But what Prince Guangping said next surprised her even more.

"I heard that Tanhua Lang hasn't had time to buy a house yet. I happen to have two houses and 5,000 acres of fertile land outside the city. I'll give them to Tanhua Lang as a gift, and also as a way to congratulate him on his wedding."

Li Jinglan looked at Prince Guangping.

There was dust on Prince Guangping's clothes, and there were footprints and traces of beatings on Yongxing's eldest son's clothes.

He came to give gifts, but deliberately did not change his clothes.

I'm afraid that Prince Guangping and the eldest son of Yongxing came here on horseback instead of taking a car.

This is done on purpose for others to see.

The person who could make Prince Guangping do such a thing must be the emperor.

Li Jinglan stood up and said, "Please sit down for a moment, Prince."

I went to the next room and told Zhou Tuanjin about this matter.

Zhou Tuanjin was also surprised when he saw the gift list: "With so many apologies, can we accept them?"

Li Jinglan said, "The fact that Prince Guangping hung Yongxing's eldest son outside his mansion and beat him proves that the news of the Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival has reached your Majesty's ears. You can accept these gifts."

Zhou Tuanjin nodded: "It's all up to my sister-in-law."

After getting the promise, Li Jinglan went back to take the gift list.

Prince Guangping was in no mood to say anything to Li Jinglan, so he took his son away.

As he walked out of the Zhuangyuan Mansion, Prince Guangping kicked him and said, "Rebellious son! From now on, you are not allowed to go out of the house."

Yongxing's eldest son shrank aside hesitantly and dared not utter a word.

When Lu Bozhou came back from get off work, he heard Prince Guangping coming to apologize. He just hummed and said, "Your Majesty asked him to pay for this. I hope he can learn his lesson this time."

I also told Li Jinglan what happened today.

For Lu Bozhou, the happiest thing is to talk to Li Jinglan about court affairs after returning home from get off work.

Li Jinglan always looked at him with sparkling eyes. Although she didn't say a word, he could see joy and happiness in Li Jinglan's eyes.

All the depression and irritability from a day's work will dissipate in these eyes.

"Your Majesty said that I was wronged and rewarded me with a jade pendant." Lu Bozhou took out the jade pendant.

This is a piece of top-grade mutton-fat jade, which feels soft and smooth to the touch.

"What a fine piece of jade." Li Jinglan praised.

"You wear it." Lu Bozhou said.

Li Jinglan smiled as she pinned the jade pendant to Lu Bozhou's waist and estimated its length. "Change the bright yellow tassel to red tomorrow."

Li Jinglan took out a string basket, found the red string and started matching the colors.

Lu Bozhou watched quietly with a smile on his lips.

It felt like several decades had passed. The future Li Jinglan had white hair and was sitting at the table knitting for him.

Lu Bozhou smiled lightly and continued talking about other things.

Li Jinglan would hum in agreement from time to time, while tying her hands.

In fact, my mind has already drifted away.

The memorial impeaching Zhou Jin was placed on the emperor's desk so quickly?

She was very clear about the procedure for submitting memorials.

All memorials must first be placed in the Censorate, where two chief censors will lead their subordinates to conduct the first preliminary investigation, picking out the most important ones and sending them to the Wenyuan Pavilion, while the unimportant ones will be handed over to the relevant departments and sealed up.

After reviewing it again, the elders of Wenyuan Pavilion picked out the military and national affairs and placed them on the emperor's desk.

In order to send an impeachment memorial to the emperor, many conditions must be met, the most basic of which is impeachment by multiple people!

Now there is only one censor impeaching Zhou Jin, and he is impeaching a civil servant in the name of a nobleman.

Did the Censorate just send it directly to Wenyuan Pavilion?

Either both the Left Censor-in-Chief and the Right Censor-in-Chief have problems, or only one of them has problems.

Let Lu Bozhou go and sound out Yin Zhihai some other day to find out who the two Chief Censors are.

The emperor should have also noticed that there was a problem with the procedure of this memorial.

So today the emperor forced Prince Guangping to apologize to Zhou Jin, but did not mention Lu Bozhou who was almost beaten yesterday.

The emperor revealed a message to his ministers: The one I favor is Zhou Jin.

With the arranged marriage and forcing Prince Guangping to pay an apology, Zhou Jin's life is going to be difficult during this period.

I thought Zhou Jin was unlucky enough in his previous life. He was clearly a top-class talent, but because he farted and stung the emperor during the palace examination, he was ranked second.

This life is even more unfortunate than the previous one.

I have to compensate him well in the future.

The next day, the head of the Nanli County yamen runners came to see her.

"We found two witnesses."

Li Jinglan stood up and said, "I'll go meet them."

There was a wind at night and the weather today is not very good.

Li Jinglan came to a restaurant not far from Lu Xuande's home.

The head of the yamen runners booked a room in the restaurant, and two people were sitting in the room.

As soon as they saw Li Jinglan wearing a veil, they quickly stood up and saluted.

"Please sit down. I heard that you have something to tell me?" Li Jinglan smiled and asked them to sit down.

Both of them are residents of the alley, and they talked about what happened before Lu Xuande disappeared.

"He came back from outside that day and looked very worried. He didn't respond when I talked to him." Neighbor A is Lu Xuande's neighbor.

Neighbor B said about the Cui family: "The Cui family's funeral had already begun before Lu Xuande disappeared, so when the government came to say that the Cui family's funeral was fake, I didn't believe it."

These two pieces of news are actually not very useful.

But what neighbor B said next caught Li Jinglan's attention.

"When the Cui family was holding a funeral, Lu Xuande and his family went to visit."

Neighbor B said, "The Cui family is suffering from tuberculosis. Who dares to visit them... We all went there with our noses covered, sent some funeral rites, and then came back."

This doubt is indeed worth noting.

Li Jinglan asked them: "Have you told the government about this?"

Neighbor B nodded: "Of course I wouldn't dare to deceive the government."

Neighbor A lowered his voice and said, "These past few days, many people have come to inquire about this matter, not only from the government office, but also from the Investigation Office, and even a group of Taoist priests are investigating this matter."

There was a noise coming from outside the restaurant.

Li Jinglan looked through the window.

There seemed to be a fight going on in the street, with many people chasing and running.

Li Jinglan retracted her gaze, ordered Lu Sheng to reward the two, and walked out.

I was thinking about what my neighbor had mentioned.

They only investigate officials, so why would they care about missing cases like Lu Xuande's?

The Inspection Office is equivalent to the Embroidered Uniform Guard, it is very mysterious and ordinary people have no chance to come into contact with it.

Although she was a marquis' wife in her previous life, Xia Jifang was an idle marquis and was not qualified to be investigated by the Investigation Office.

She didn't know much about the Procuratorate either.

Could the third person be from the Investigation Office?

Li Jinglan felt that the hidden thread was becoming more and more obvious, and she felt that she only needed to remember some key information to connect everything together.

What exactly is the key information?

I thought about it over and over again, but still couldn't figure it out.

The hustle and bustle outside the restaurant has disappeared, and pedestrians are walking slowly on the street, looking very leisurely.

Li Jinglan got on the carriage and had just taken off the veil on her head before she had time to hang it on the wall of the carriage.

I felt the carriage rushing forward.

Zhao Zhengyi's family, who was halfway on the carriage, was thrown under the carriage by the inertia caused by the sudden start of the carriage.

Fortunately, Lu Shengjia supported her from behind, and they both fell down at the same time.

In just the moment he was distracted, the carriage carrying Li Jinglan had already jumped two or three feet away.

"No! The lady is in the car."

*The weather in Xuchang changed yesterday, and my rhinitis came back. I only wrote one chapter. Today the weather is better and everything is fine. I'm going to write, and I'll post the next chapter later. Yesterday's reward didn't reach the amount we agreed to add more chapters, so there will be no more chapters today.
