The whole capital persuaded me to remarry

Chapter 183 The Cousin's Matter Comes to an End
For those truly cultivated wives, she will not join in and slander you when you are down, and she will not follow everyone to praise you and flatter you when you are prosperous. This is the style of everyone.

It's a pity that there are very few such wives, and they are usually gossiping women who are suffocated in the backyard and talk non-stop when they catch a new topic.

On the third day, things finally turned around for Meng Keyang.

There are already [-] people participating in the protest. Although the imperial court can send troops to suppress it, or kill a few leaders to make an example to others, but now the Song Dynasty is in troubled times, and the Mongolian country outside is watching, and it will attack the border defense of the Song State whenever it seizes the opportunity. There is an internal problem that the emperor is aging but has no heirs to inherit the throne, so that his heart is unstable, and the court dare not kill people openly.

They are also worried. The common people came to resist the hegemonic power of the nobles who disregarded human lives. Not only did they not allow the court to compromise, but they suffered another persecution from the court. Can they be willing?

If someone takes this opportunity to instigate the people, intensify the conflict between the people and the court, and provoke the people to rebel, how should they be suppressed?

Both the court and the emperor were worried about this, so they finally chose to compromise for the time being.

After all, Zhao Chunjian's criminal evidence is already known to everyone, there is no need to cause conflicts between the court and the people in order to defend such a scumbag.

Therefore, the government announced Zhao Chunjian's various crimes and judged him to be guilty.

However, Meng Keyang killed such a guilty person, and the crime was not worthy of death, so the sentence was changed to exile for the whole family, and the execution was carried out a month later.

Upon hearing the news, the Zhen family breathed a sigh of relief.

That afternoon, Zhen Baoshu followed her eldest and second brothers to the prison to visit Meng Keyang.

The eldest sister Zhen Baochan also wanted to go, but now that she is pregnant, the people of Duke Wei's mansion would not allow her to go to the bloody place like the prison, so she could only bring something for Zhen Baoshu to bring in.

It was the first time for Zhen Baoshu to come to the prison, and there was a gloomy atmosphere here, which made people feel suffocated as soon as they stepped inside.

In order to prevent someone from robbing the prison, there are many barriers in the prison, and there are not many ventilation windows in the aisle, so there is a palm-sized ventilation area in each cell, so that the prisoners will not suffocate to death.

Therefore, even in broad daylight, it is as dark as night here.

The two older brothers guarded Zhen Baoshu, one on the left and the other on the right, telling her to be careful where she stepped, lest she fall down.

Finally coming to Meng Keyang's cell, Zhen Baoshu saw Meng Keyang whom he hadn't seen for so many days since the accident.

She was wearing a gray prison uniform, her hair was disheveled, and her face was haggard. She sat quietly in the corner with her eyes closed, as if she was waiting to die.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Meng Keyang thought it was the jailer who came to serve dinner, so he opened his eyes and looked over.

When she saw clearly that the person standing outside was the cousin of the Zhen family, her eyes lit up.

She stood up and walked this way happily, "Big cousin, second cousin, second cousin, why did you suddenly come to see me together?"

She grabbed the wooden fence, "Has the verdict come down? How long do I have to behead?"

She clearly said the word beheading, but she still had a smile on her face, and there seemed to be a kind of relief in her eyes.

Zhen Baoshu looked her over from head to toe with red eyes.

The eldest brother Zhen Shirong should have frightened the guards in the cell. Meng Keyang has no trace of lynching on her body. She is so beautiful, and the guards are far away from her. No one dares to look at her with offensive eyes. kind of comfort.
