My old husband who can read minds

Chapter 226 Rumors and Borrowing
Qin He and Shen Yuan did not stay too long at the Changning County Prince's Mansion that day. They declined the other party's offer of a meal, drank tea for a long time, and then left and returned home.

Shen Yuan and Cui Jianjia made a separate agreement to enjoy plum blossoms again when the sky clears.

On the way back home, Qin He frowned deeply, looking worried.

"Husband, are you still thinking about what Prince Changning said?"

Shen Yuan explained in a gentle voice: "Actually, the county prince is just guessing. Who can completely guess His Majesty's thoughts."

Qin He looked at her sideways, "A Yuan, do you want to take the next step for your husband?"

Shen Yuan shook his head, "Being with a king is like being with a tiger. If the Qin family is too popular, I'm afraid it's either a blessing or a curse."

She didn't want Qin He to be involved in the whirlpool of seizing the heir so early. How could the emperor's sword be so easy to use?It's easy to get burned in a short time.

"My father has been in the court for more than 20 years before becoming a political governor. If my son, who has been in the court for only a few years, becomes a third-rank official, the whole court will explode. The resistance your Majesty faces is In the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, this matter is not that easy."

Qin He's words were not without purpose.

In the past few days, he has frequently met with the Holy Spirit to discuss matters related to the Qingtian Sect. Although His Majesty had plans in mind, he never revealed any of them. This shows that he has deep concerns and may not be able to accomplish this matter.

Wei Chen must have seen some clues, so he kindly reminded him.

This reminder also vaguely pointed out a direction for Qin He. If he did not want to be used as a sword by His Majesty, he should try to escape this game between king and minister as soon as possible.

Now that he had asked Shen Yuan about his wishes and learned that his wife was not willing to take risks, Qin He had a plan in mind.

If His Majesty wants to promote himself to an official position on the pretext of "rewarding based on merit", then he will do the opposite, commit some mistakes, and use merit to offset his mistakes, so that Your Majesty can no longer award rewards.

After figuring out the solution, Qin He smiled.

"I have already decided on this matter, just rest assured, A-Yuan."

Shen Yuan's eyelids twitched, feeling like a storm was coming, "I don't ask for wealth, I just want my family to be safe."

Qin He held her hand tightly and solemnly promised: "Everything will go as planned!"

But Qin He didn't expect that the opportunity would come so quickly.

In the past few months, a rumor has suddenly become loud and clear about the "surprising event on Emperor Qianyuan's birthday".

This rumor was aimed at no one else but Shen Yuan and Cui Jiajia, who were kidnapped by the assassin on the day the emperor was assassinated.

If you look carefully, you can see that the rumors are more or less targeted.The main person mentioned is Shen Yuan, while Cui Jianjia's existence has always been weakened. The later the rumors go, the more transparent she becomes.

It looks more like a game against Shen Yuan.

There are only a few ways that people in the world can slander a woman's reputation.

The rhetoric against Shen Yuan is this: a beautiful and delicate woman from an aristocratic family fell into the hands of a ruthless assassin for four or five hours. During this period, she would inevitably be in the same room with thieves of the opposite sex, and her innocence would be at risk.

Every sentence is a question, there is no evidence at all, but every sentence is murderous and heart-wrenching.Rumors like this are useless even if Yu Wenji himself comes forward to clarify them. People who should not believe them will still have malicious intentions.

The reactions of the Changning County Prince's Palace and the Qin family were strange.

Logically speaking, the two mistresses of the two houses involved should come forward to clarify or take other measures to stop the rumors, but the husbands of the two parties involved, Wei Chen and Qin He, ignored it, as if they were letting it go. .

Those who do good things can't help but guess, are the rumors true?
Mrs. Qin and Cui Jianjia had lost their innocence in the den of thieves, so why didn't the two governments come forward to refute the rumors?
Or maybe the two ladies were actually innocent, but Qin He and Wei Chen were unwilling to accept women with tainted reputations, so they deliberately turned a blind eye and allowed the rumors to ferment.

There are rumors in the outside world that Wei Chen and Qin He want to imitate the actions of the King of Qi (the eldest prince), waiting for Shen Yuan and Cui Jianjia to bear the humiliation, and then commit suicide to prove their innocence.

In fact, Shen Yuan should eat and drink, and was not affected by the rumors at all.

The same goes for Cui Jianjia!
The two governments allowed the rumors to ferment, but it was just that the time had not come yet.

After more than ten days like this, Wenxinhou's Mansion and Changning County Prince's Mansion, which had been as calm as a lake, suddenly moved, like a thunderbolt, unstoppable.

First, Qin He led a group of guards from the Qin family to visit more than ten mansions of powerful officials in one day. Without saying a word, he directly smashed the doors and put those villains who secretly spread rumors and slander Shen and Cui on the street. execution".

The men were tied up and beaten half to death. Some had broken teeth and some had broken legs. The main theme was "Thieves never leave empty-handed".

The woman was slapped in public, twenty light slaps, fifty heavy slaps, and she was let go only after pressing her head and apologizing.

One of the daughters of one of the families had been jealous of Shen Yuan for a long time, and she cursed extremely unpleasantly behind her back. In full view of everyone, Qin He had someone take off her coat, completely humiliating her.

In the end, the daughter of the family couldn't bear the humiliation, hanged herself in shame and anger, and almost died...

You thought this was the end of it?

Not yet, isn't Changning County Wang Weichen angry?
This person was not as rude and arrogant as the Qin family. Instead, he directly listed the evidence, seized witnesses and physical evidence, and sued those families one by one to Dali Temple.

The minister of Dali Temple was impartial and selfless, and based on the evidence, the people involved in the case were beaten to death and put in jail for several days. After paying Wei Chen a large amount of money, they were released.

Qin He and Wei Chen, both martial and literary, cooperated internally and externally, and caught those who were causing trouble behind the scenes to serve as examples to scare the monkeys.Several families were treated terribly, but they could only grit their teeth and swallow this hidden loss.

Who made them make mistakes in the first place and let others take advantage of them?

Everything is just to blame.

Since that day, the rumors about Shen Yuan and Cui Jianjia disappeared without a trace.

Like a gust of wind, it comes and goes quickly.

After this incident, the Yushitai became more lively than ever.

The table in the imperial study room was covered with articles about the impeachment of Qin He.
