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

"Yu Niang, how dare you hurt me like this?!"

Su Shaofang's shocked and heartbroken look didn't seem to be acted. It was really embarrassing that at this time, this guy could still have such a disgusting tone.

From this, we can see that he likes Wan Yuzhi, his wife from his youth, which is probably true. But it is also true that he likes his future more.

"Don't call me that disgustingly! I can't bear to hurt you? I wish I could chop you into pieces!"

Wan Yuzhi burst into tears and felt extremely regretful.

"Don't be so excited, wife. Take care of yourself. Let's listen to the adults' judgment. We must not let this evil villain who harmed my father-in-law and uncles off! Don't cry and be obedient. Don't hurt yourself..."

Zhu Shijie quickly supported his wife who almost fell to the ground, and honestly stood aside and worried. Of course, Chu Daidai, who was sitting in the back of the court and watching the case, was also anxious and wanted to jump up and down.

Manager Wan was crying like that. What if something bad happened to her and the baby in her belly? Would Hong Shao Rou be able to survive?

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that the bowl of meat she had just served was a little unstable. She stood up and was about to rush forward, but Zhuzhubaobao, who was guarding on the side, quickly grabbed her hind legs.

"Master, please be patient. Minister Chu will make fair and just decisions. None of those bad guys will be able to escape!"

"Zhuzhu is right, Master, don't worry!"

If you get anxious, my sister and I will be forced to stay in bed. Although it won't kill me, it will hurt.

"Let go, I'll go help Shopkeeper Wan. She doesn't even have the strength to catch people, otherwise how could she cry like that? I'm different, I have plenty of strength and means!"

Look how honest these princesses are? They never lie. Everyone in the palace, from the masters to the maids, knows that Your Highness can pull up a weeping willow tree with one hand.

But as a delicate princess, is it really something worth bragging about that you have the ability to just open someone's skull when you're unhappy?

These two girls who changed from secret guards to visible guards still have a strong desire to complain.

"Please go back and sit down. I will pass on the message."

Zhuzhu winked at her companion, signaling her to hold the master tightly. Then she let go and quickly rushed to the side of Minister Chu, whispering dryly.

"Quickly resolve this, or His Highness will make a scene."

Nothing can motivate people more than the last three words. Thinking of the chaos every time that naughty child said she was going to make a fuss, Minister Chu shivered with exhaustion.

Judge, I will judge now!

The gavel was slammed hard, and the verdict seemed to be smashing directly into the faces of the people in the hall.

Since this was not just a love affair between a man and a woman, but also involved a major case from more than a decade ago, with irrefutable evidence, all the members of the Su and Wu families, except for the married women, were imprisoned, awaiting the emperor's decision.

Old Chu had a hunch that today's melon would surely make the emperor explode with joy, haha.

Go to the study.

There was a monkey and a princess squatting on the chair, holding fresh fruits in their hands, blinking their big eyes and watching the movements in the room quietly. They ate the fruits with their mouths open and their ears erect.

Minister Chu respectfully presented all the evidence on the imperial desk, then stood below with his eyes and nose observing, lowering his head to study the strange patterns on the floor. I have to take a closer look.

The room was extremely quiet, with only the rustling sound of the emperor's fingertips turning papers. Oh, no, there was also the crunching sound of eating melons not far away.

The emperor could neither chase away nor defeat this girl with such a big heart, so he could only let her do whatever she wanted.

"Lord Chu, who do you think got the tax silver?"

After reading all the files, his expression and tone remained unchanged and he looked calm. If it weren't for the smile hidden in the corners of his eyebrows and eyes turning cold, it would be difficult for others to guess the emperor's joy or anger.

"Your Majesty, I was on a diplomatic mission to Dasheng when this case happened, so I really have no idea what happened. But Your Majesty is wise and must have the whole thing in his hands. He definitely doesn't need me to talk too much and make random guesses..."

"Stop talking about these useless things!"

The emperor glared at him fiercely, and it was obvious that he was not joking.

"Tell me the truth and I will forgive you. Tell me, did this batch of tax silver really fall into the hands of the Eastern Palace?"

The harsh voice became a little hard to understand, with a complexity that Chu Daidai couldn't understand at all.

"The evidence was irrefutable at the time. The Minister of Revenue and the Chief Clerk of the Eastern Palace even committed suicide out of fear of punishment. The Second Prince himself admitted it. I have not wronged him."

"uncertain."

Minister Chu dared not disobey the emperor's order, so he lifted his robe and knelt down, so that he could speak boldly and with peace of mind.

"Although the deposed prince admitted his guilt and sold everything he had to fill the hole, to be honest, the silver that was returned to the national treasury was not the missing tax silver, but the fines that the deposed prince scraped together. Who can conclude that the official silver had been melted down and recast by the Eastern Palace?"

Minister Chu stopped at the point. If he went any deeper, it would not be something he, as a minister, should say.

The emperor was silent.

Looking at the confessions on the table again, every word became particularly glaring. So there was no extra discomfort, pity, or regret on his face.

At this moment, he is the emperor.

An emperor who must defend his imperial power.

"Go, summon Shen Mufeng to the palace."

"Yes."

Wei Zongguan, who was standing aside as a decoration, bowed and responded, and left quickly. The emperor had issued an order, so even though Shen Mufeng's injury had not healed, he still came as quickly as possible.

Seeing poor Shen Xiaowu being tortured like this, the protective Chu Daidai couldn't stand it anymore.

"Father, have you forgotten that you beat Shen Xiaowu a few days ago? He is sick from your beating, and you won't let him rest? Even my second uncle's donkey wouldn't dare to be used like this!"

The weird look of this little nose and eyes almost made her father's nose crooked. Thinking of the bastard who had competed with him for the throne, he snorted coldly in a bad tone.

"Your uncle is dead, and there are no bones left. His donkey certainly doesn't need to be used."

Chu Daidai was scolded for no reason and slammed the melon peel in his hand on the table unhappily, sticking his neck out to go against his own father.

"Your second uncle just died. My second uncle is digging the land in Linjia Village just fine. Why are you scolding him?"

The old man was very good to them. They even earned New Year's money from the second uncle and aunt. How could they let him be scolded for no reason?

"........."

It is true that my second uncle has died a long time ago, but if you dare to continue talking nonsense like this, your father will be unhappy.
