A concubine enters the mansion? Reborn, three matchmakers and six engagements to marry the Prime Min

Su Qingyu personally handed the tea to Emperor Xuande, who suddenly said, "I almost let you suffer today. Don't worry, I will definitely take care of it for you."

"I dare not. Today, I have behaved inappropriately. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me."

Su Qingyu said this and was about to kneel down.

Emperor Xuande said in a deep voice: "Get up, you don't need to apologize for this matter."

As he said this, he glared at the prince.

Su Qingyu had no choice but to get up and continue serving tea to the old man.

As she served tea, Shen Zhixiu explained to the old man, "Mr. Xie, this is my wife, and she is also the granddaughter of the old Marquis of Pingning Marquis's Mansion."

Su Qingyu suddenly realized that this should be the third master of the Xie family that Shen Zhixiu had mentioned before.

She bowed to Mr. Xie San and followed Shen Zhixiu's way of addressing him, "Hello, Mr. Xie."

When Third Master Xie heard that she was Shen Zhixiu's wife and the granddaughter of an old friend, he developed a liking for her.

He smiled and nodded, "When I went to Jinling to open the academy, you were only two years old. Your grandfather doted on you like a baby, but I didn't expect that little baby to grow up to be so handsome."

Then he turned around and teased Shen Zhixiu, "You are so lucky to marry such a good wife."

Shen Zhixiu smiled even more, "That's because I'm lucky. Others can only envy me."

After saying this, even Emperor Xuande started laughing.

After Su Qingyu served the tea, she stepped aside in a very proper manner. Her every move was so polite that no one could find fault with it.

Su Yuanqing, who was standing behind the crowd with his head lowered, suddenly frowned. Why did the voice of Mr. Xie just now sound so familiar?

Since the emperor arrived, he didn't dare to look up, and naturally didn't see the appearance of the third master of the Xie family.

I wanted to take a look secretly at this time, but I was afraid of offending the emperor.

Emperor Xuande was now holding up the white porcelain painted teacup and taking a sip, then he asked in a deep voice.

"Prince, you concluded that it was Lin Wuchen who dug up the Su family's ancestral tomb without any evidence?"

"And Third Madam Shen, is she also someone that a concubine around you could beat?"

"If I hadn't come today, would you have used your power to bully the Lin family and let Madam Shen San suffer this humiliation?"

Emperor Xuande did not bang the table in anger, but spoke in a calm tone.

But the calmer his tone, the more frightened the prince became.

If I really slapped him twice on the spot, everything would be fine.

And how should he answer those two questions?

Answer truthfully? That is, if the emperor had not come today, the Lin family would have been accused of digging up someone's ancestral grave. And Su Qingyu would have been beaten, even for nothing.

His concubine beat Su Qingyu, even if Shen Zhixiu held a grudge, he would not go to him to settle the score, at most their relationship would become worse. He originally planned to pull Shen Zhixiu down from his high position, and punishing Su Qingyu was also a warning to Shen Zhixiu.

But he couldn't say that at this moment. He bowed and replied, "In reply to my father, even if you hadn't come, I would have stopped Concubine Su. Madam, Lord Shen, how could I fight in the street?"

"Don't worry, Father. I will definitely teach Concubine Su well after I return to the palace."

With just a few words, the prince pushed the entire matter onto Su Xiangling.

Su Xiangling stood aside and dared not say a word. Fortunately, she was pregnant, so even the emperor would not punish her severely.

Emperor Xuande gave the prince a meaningful look and asked, "What about the crime that Lin Wuchen was charged with?"

The prince bowed and said, "I made this judgment based on the evidence presented by the Su family. Lin Wuchen has reason to hate the Su family. In addition, the mountain belongs to the Lin family, and we also found deer bone sticks used for picking ginseng."

"I think the evidence provided by the Su family is enough to prove that the Lin family did it."

"It's hard to find witnesses for this kind of thing, but we can't let this sinister person get away with it just because there are no witnesses."

The prince had just thought about these words after a long time.

First, it was the evidence presented by the Su family, and finally it could be said that he was deceived by the Su family. The latter part was said to be righteous and awe-inspiring, without any trace of selfishness.

Even if he made a wrong judgment, we can only say that his ability is limited and he does not know people well.

Emperor Xuande looked at the prince meaningfully, "When Concubine Su said that you are the law, you didn't refute a word. When she wanted to hit Madam Shen San, you didn't stop her."

"Prince, you have disappointed me so much. Where is the virtue that a crown prince should have?"

With the last sentence, the emperor’s aura suddenly dissipated.

The prince's lips twitched, but no sound came out. His father's eyes saw through everything, making him feel that it was futile to say anything.

But I still have to refute it, "Father, please understand, I did not mean that."

Emperor Xuande said in a deep voice: "Step aside first, I will find you when we return to the palace. Let's talk about the Lin and Su families first. Since I have run into them today, I will personally investigate them."

After the prince left, Lin Wuchen found the right time, walked to the middle of the hall and knelt down.

"Your Majesty is wise. I would not do such a conscienceless thing just for a mere two hundred thousand taels of silver."

"Although my aunt and Marquis Su have divorced, my cousin is still the daughter of the Su family. If I really dig up the Su family's ancestral graves, how can I face my cousin?"

"Now, because of the Second Young Master Su's commotion, not only me, but the entire Lin family has become infamous."

"Second Young Master Su's move is a way to kill without spilling blood. He will not stop until the entire Lin family pays the price."

Lin Wuchen knelt straight. Although he was a businessman, he did not show any cunning.

He is proud and calm.

Even though Emperor Xuande had seen many scholars with strong character, he had to admit that Lin Wuchen's calm demeanor was one of the best even in the Qianyang Palace.

He has always had a liking for and trust in such people.

Just as he was about to speak, Third Master Xie, who had been sitting on the side without saying anything, suddenly spoke.

"Speaking of which, this morning, when I was going up the mountain, I happened to see that Lord Su's grave had been dug up."

"Before I saw the grave, I met another person. He was not very old, but he was in a hurry and almost bumped into me. He was also rude and acted very arrogantly."

He couldn't say in front of so many people that he was going to mourn the death of the Marquis of Zhenbei, so he could only speak vaguely. However, Emperor Xuande and Shen Zhixiu understood that he almost bumped into the coffin of the Marquis of Zhenbei.

As soon as Third Master Xie said this, Su Yuanqing, who was standing behind the crowd, froze in place.

He remembered, wasn't that voice the old man from this morning?

How could he know the emperor? But it seemed that he held a high position beside the emperor.

In my heart, I cursed this old man for seeking fame and reputation. Since he has such a high status, can't he dress better?

And as for the coffin, can’t it be made of better material?

Some people are like this. No matter what happens, they can always find someone to blame, but they will never look for the reasons in themselves.

He didn't know that the Xie family's elders all worshipped Taoism. They never spent lavishly on food, clothing, and daily expenses. Even before his death, the Zhenbei Marquis had instructed that everything should be kept simple.

Emperor Xuande thought for a moment and said, "If we find this person, the truth will be revealed."

Third Master Xie stood up and said to Lin Wuchen, "Prepare the pen, ink, paper and inkstone for me. I will draw this man."

Lin Wuchen was overjoyed, stood up, answered yes, and turned to walk out.

As soon as Mr. Xie San turned his head, he saw Su Yuanqing through the crowd.

Even though Su Yuanqing lowered his head at the moment, he recognized him at a glance.

Third Master Xie's sharp gaze fell on Su Yuanqing, and he stopped Lin Wuchen who was walking to the door.

"No need to bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone. The boy is in this hall."
