After the zombies traveled through time, they were tricked by the villain into becoming a stepmother

"Even if we take a step back, the root of this matter is not whether someone starts a dispute, right?"

Minister Chu responded gently.

Minister Zheng argued vigorously.

"How can this not be the root cause? The fact is that Prince Ding and Concubine Zheng were clearly injured by thieves!"

"Look at you. I just told you not to be impatient. The truth is not in the loudness of the voice. Let's talk it out in detail."

Anyway, the one who got beaten wasn't my kid, so why should I be in a hurry? Chu Zhankui remained calm and neither arrogant nor impatient.

"After all, they are all young people. They are not very good at talking and are not reliable in doing things. It is inevitable that their words and deeds are not thoughtful. Who hasn't been through that age? We old guys should be more understanding."

I understand shit!

It's not your daughter who is suffering in the relationship. Look at her talking while standing without feeling any pain in her waist. How disgusting!

Zheng Kecheng was very angry.

In order to help his sister, he had to win over the favored brother of Prince Ding on behalf of the current emperor, Prince Qin, in order to gain favor with the late emperor. He had gritted his teeth and promised his eldest daughter to Prince Ding as a concubine.

It was because at that time, the late emperor loved this youngest son the most, who was a dandy but posed no threat to the imperial power at all.

His eldest daughter, whom he had carefully raised, was humiliated to be married off to someone else as a concubine. This was a lifelong shame for the Zheng family, and it was something that Zheng Kecheng owed his daughter for the rest of his life!

It was obvious that the Zheng family and the royal family had a tacit understanding with each other that the throne of the king in the future would definitely be won by the son born to the daughter of the Zheng family.

But now, something unexpected happened?

He glanced at the mother and son standing on the other side with a bad look, then thought about his daughter who was still unconscious.

You can't hide the look in someone's eyes that wants to kill you.

Since this mother and son had ambitions that they shouldn't have, why couldn't his daughter eliminate them? The only pity was that man's plans were not as good as God's plans, and this little bastard was lucky enough to escape.

It's really hateful and annoying!

He snorted coldly and looked away.

"You don't need to beat around the bush here. No matter what, it's a fact that Pei Dingyang is unfilial!

There are no wrong parents in the world, and everyone knows that the father is the leader of the son. What kind of naughty son can do such a heinous thing as leading others to beat up his own father?

If we don't punish him severely today, many people will follow suit in the future. Then how can we, the great Qi, discipline our people?"

This man is indeed the head of the Ministry of Rites, and he talks about the country and the world. Fortunately, the Minister of Justice is not a pushover either, and when it comes to tracing the origin of things, that is the specialty of the old Chu family.

"Master Zheng, what you said does make some sense. But everything has to be prioritized, right?

Now the most important thing is, I think we should sort things out from the beginning.

For example, how did the legitimate son of Prince Ding end up in the countryside for no apparent reason? Was there some misunderstanding or conspiracy?

Only when you understand the whole cause and effect clearly, can you convince others when you tell it later.

Otherwise, you can't just disregard etiquette for no reason and say with open eyes that it is right to take a concubine as a wife or to suppress the legitimate wife with a concubine.

If we tell others about it, what will the people of the world think?

Mr. Zheng, what do you think? "

He asked the last few words slowly and with obvious ill intentions, which made Zheng Kecheng speechless. This damn old man was clearly setting a trap for him!

No matter how courageous he was, he would not dare to say it openly in front of the emperor. This confusing lawsuit was created by the previous emperor.

What does tacit understanding mean?

The late emperor did not issue an explicit decree at the beginning, but he tacitly agreed that if Prince Ding got tired of the peasant girl in the future, his daughter from the Zheng family could replace her at any time. If it weren't for the late emperor's suggestion, how could his daughter get married?

But this tacit understanding is a double-edged sword. It made Pei Dingyang and his mother miserable in the past, and now it can make the Zheng family hold ice in their mouths but not be able to vent any bitterness.

Looking at the king sitting at the top, there was no extra expression on his face.

Zheng Kecheng didn't dare to say anything more for a moment.

After all, the cause of all these troubles was to allow the current emperor to ascend the throne smoothly.

However, the emperor could appreciate favors like this, but his subjects should never force them to do so.

Otherwise, there might be backlash!

He glared at his smiling enemy with hatred. He and Chu Zhankui had been at odds with each other since childhood. What he hated most was this kind of smiling tiger look that made people want to get angry but couldn't. It was particularly disgusting!

Duke Wu took a few steps back quietly and stood aside very honestly. Family members know their own business. In such a high-end game, a rough man like him is not worthy of being served as a dish.

But hey, don’t tell me, don’t tell me.

When it comes to talking and scheming, it's up to the civil servants to fight among themselves. It sounds damn interesting!

Only after all those who were quarreling and arguing shut up did the emperor raise his eyelids and look at the mother and son in the hall. He raised his eyebrows in surprise, and a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes.

No wonder Ye is still alive after so many years. Her beauty is still as beautiful as before. It is not surprising that such a beauty can fascinate the lustful Old Twenty-Six.

Fortunately, I am not the kind of person who can't move his feet when seeing a woman, otherwise such a beauty who can bring disaster to people's hearts should have been killed long ago!

In his eyes, there was the clarity, wisdom, and coldness that belonged to an emperor.

"Ye's mother and son, come forward."

The king's voice is full of infinite majesty. When it echoes in the ears, people can't help but shudder in their hearts.

After Pei Dingyang and his mother were brought to the palace, they had been very obedient and huddled there, not daring to move. Especially Ye Chuxue, she had been in the palace so many times over the years that it would be too many to count with one hand.

Because she knew her identity, she never dared to make a wrong step. It was only now that she heard the emperor summoned her that she dared to step forward and tremble in greeting.

"Ye kowtows to His Majesty, may the Emperor live forever!"

"Pei Dingyang pays respect to His Majesty, may the Emperor be well!"

The mother and son followed the rules they had learned so hard in the past and performed all the necessary etiquette movements meticulously. Although this was the first time they were summoned to the palace by the current emperor, they were surprisingly able to keep their composure.

"Flat body."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Although it was just two short sentences, it allowed many people with sharp eyes to glimpse some of the emperor's attitudes.

Shen Mufeng took a step back and stood obediently beside the emperor, doing his job as the general guarding the palace.
