If I were born again, I would marry a strong but short-lived husband.
Chapter 148 The dust has settled
Shen Sui'an left the upper room and met Mrs. Lu Er on the way.
Mrs. Lu happened to be out today, and when she came back she found out that the first wife had been taken away by people from the Pacification Office, but when she asked around, no one knew what had happened.
Just as I was about to go to the upper room to inquire about the news, I saw Shen Sui'an appear in my sight.
"Madam, you are here for your mother-in-law's matter, right?" asked Mrs. Lu.
Shen Sui'an bowed, his expression tense, "Second Aunt."
Second Madam Lu was eager to know what the first wife had done wrong, and temporarily put aside her grudge against Shen Sui'an.
"What's wrong, Madam? I heard that the imperial guards from the Pacification Bureau came to the mansion today." Madam Lu asked suspiciously, "Lu Yuan is the commander of the Pacification Bureau. You must know this."
"I know." Shen Sui'an nodded.
Mrs. Lu took two steps closer to her and waited for Shen Sui'an to continue.
But Shen Suian just looked at her in confusion, his eyes as clear and bright as the stars in the night sky.
"..." Mrs. Lu's mouth twitched, "Then what?"
Shen Sui'an: "Then? I don't know either. We have to wait for the results of the interrogation by the Pacification Bureau. Then Second Aunt will know the truth."
Mrs. Lu gritted her teeth and felt that she was being fooled by Shen Sui'an.
"Didn't you say you knew what happened?"
"Yes, but the case has not been closed yet. I can't talk nonsense. Maybe there will be a turning point. If Second Aunt wants to know, you might as well ask the old man. He went to the Pacification Office today." Shen Sui'an said.
Mrs. Lu sneered. If she had the courage to ask the Duke, would she still need to waste time talking to Shen Suian here?
What a fool who refuses to listen.
"Second Aunt, if you have nothing else to say, I'll leave first." Shen Sui'an said.
Mrs. Lu frowned and turned to go to the upper room.
Shen Sui'an was in a happy mood.
But she tried hard to suppress the smile on her lips. After all, the person who was arrested was her nominal mother-in-law. If she was too happy, it would always cause gossip.
"Madam, that's the second young master over there." Ban Jian reminded her in a low voice behind her.
As expected, Shen Sui'an saw Lu Heng walking from the corridor on the other side with a gloomy face. Judging from his hurried pace, he should be going to see Duke Lu.
Lu Heng was so anxious that he was only thinking about how to save his mother, and did not notice Shen Suian at the corner until he got closer.
His eyes suddenly turned cold, "Shen Sui'an, my mother was slandered by the Pacification Bureau. Is it related to you? Are you going to take revenge on me?"
"..." Shen Suian looked over in surprise.
"Your self-righteousness really makes me look at you in a new light."
The veins on Lu Heng's forehead bulged, "Isn't it?"
Shen Sui'an sneered and asked sarcastically, "Did I ask my wife to kidnap the second son of the King of Zhennan? Did I ask my wife to threaten the kidnapper's family, or did I seek death by asking her to instruct those people to destroy my innocence?"
"..." Lu Heng's chest heaved violently because of anger.
"Have you ever been in the habit of blaming others for your mistakes since you were a child?" Shen Sui'an asked.
Lu Heng refused to believe that his mother would do such a thing.
"You're quite ridiculous." Shen Suian said sarcastically.
She walked right past Lu Heng, and she felt that it was Lu Yuan's fault that the eldest lady was captured by the Pacification Office.
The brains of the Lu family members are quite similar.
Shen Sui'an became more and more convinced that Lu Yuan was not Mr. Lu's biological son.
She was not in a hurry to go to the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion, but Zhou Zhou still sent someone to tell her that the Princess of Zhennan came in person to thank them and asked him to continue treating Zhou Zhou's eyes.
In this way, Zhou Zhou and Cheng Zhiyun now have the support of the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion.
Shen Sui'an was very satisfied with this plan. Not only did he use the power of others to make Mrs. Lu suffer the consequences of her own actions, but he also changed the fate of the princess and Feng Yuanjia.
Although after learning about the princess's drastic measures, she felt that she and Feng Yuanjia might have fought back in her previous life, it was just that she died early and didn't see it.
Anyway, it doesn't affect her mood now.
Three days later, Shen Sui'an stayed in Danbo Courtyard every day and didn't even go out of the second gate.
But she knew that the Lu and Bai families were both trying to keep Madam Lu and Concubine Bai.
Especially the Bai family, they are a century-old family. Although their influence is not in Shangjing, they have many people in the court.
They believed that the case was not suitable for trial due to the relationship between Lu Yuan and Mrs. Lu, and eventually handed it over to the Dali Temple for trial.
In the end, the Bai family found that it was impossible to keep the two sisters.
Only one person can be saved and one of them must confess all the evidence.
The Bai family weighed the pros and cons again and again, and finally decided to keep Mrs. Lu.
The position of the Crown Prince of Zhennan Palace will definitely fall to the grandson of the Bai family. Even if they save Concubine Bai, with Ye Liusu's ferocity, she will definitely not be spared.
Mrs. Lu is different. She is smarter and more resourceful than Concubine Bai, and it will be easier for her to make a comeback in the future.
And Princess Guangning has also been pleading for Madam Lu recently.
Concubine Bai was unwilling to accept this. It was obvious that Madam Lu was more vicious than her, so why should she plead guilty? Once she pleaded guilty, she would die.
Before she could protest her innocence, she was found dead in prison.
Since Concubine Bai is dead and there is a confession written in blood, this case can be closed.
Mrs. Lu was spared the death penalty, but the Emperor severely punished Duke Lu and Mr. Lu.
In the end, Uncle Lu could only bear the reluctance and decided to send Mrs. Lu to the family temple to practice.
Among them, the confession that Mrs. Lu initially intended to discredit her daughter-in-law could not be used to convict her because it was not actually carried out.
For Shen Suian's sake, Lu Yuan did not continue to hold on to her.
However, when Mrs. Lu arrived at the ancestral temple, she suddenly fell seriously ill. No matter how many doctors were called to examine her pulse, no one knew the cause of her illness.
The conclusion is that she is still depressed and needs to slowly adjust her mood.
As for how long the conditioning will take, only God knows.
After the dust settled, Lu Yuan finally had time to return to the Lu family.
Shen Sui'an hasn't seen him for a few days.
Before the couple could sit down and talk properly, someone came from the upper room and invited them over.
Both Mr. Lu and Lu Heng looked extremely unhappy, and people from the second and third houses were also present.
Even Guangning who was in the princess's mansion came.
"I believe you have all heard about what happened at home recently." Duke Lu's voice was tired and he looked a few years older.
Uncle Lu gave Lu Yuan a sinister look.
"Father, if Lu Yuan hadn't intentionally concealed the truth, things wouldn't have come to this point. In my opinion, such a rebellious son should have been kicked out of the family long ago and all ties with him should have been severed." Uncle Lu hated Lu Yuan even more.
How could he give birth to such a son?
His biological mother's status is lowly and filthy and she is inhumane, and Lu Yuan is equally disgusting.
He really regretted that he had indulged in pleasure at the time, which resulted in such a stain that he would never be able to get rid of for the rest of his life.
Huh? Shen Sui'an's heart was pounding.
Want to kick Lu Yuan out? Cut off ties with the Lu family?
Such a good thing!!
This was something she didn't dare to think about.
