Houfu poisonous girl can't be bullied

Chapter 40 The flamboyant Lu Mingmei
"Li Aiqing, I order you to find out all the facts within five days and then submit them to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for review. Sun Jian, you'd better clean up everything you did! Ministers of the Ministry of Rites don't know etiquette, justice and shame, so it's better to be a cat or a dog to do it! Come on, let's disperse!"

As soon as Li Fengyi opened his golden mouth, Li Zhuo acted without any scruples.The courtiers lined up and walked out of the Palace of Political Affairs. Li Zhuo glanced at Sun Jian who was still kneeling on the ground and Lu Hengtao who was hiding among the courtiers, and snorted coldly, then turned and went to the imperial study.

In Linglong courtyard, Chu Lingyue was having fun with Xiaoyu.Xiaoyu is the nephew of Du's mother. He came to the capital with his mother for the first time. He is eight years old but has not studied.Two days ago, when he was running around in Hou's mansion, he saw Chu Lingyue reading a book under the flower stand. He approached carefully, but was caught by Chu Lingyue.

Seeing how exquisite this child was, Chu Lingyue thought it was fun, so she told Mama Du that he would come to the Liuliyuan during the day to play with her.

Zuo Zuo is only an eight-year-old child, so what's the big deal?Mother Du was also worried that Chu Lingyue would be bored while recuperating, so she naturally agreed in every possible way.On the contrary, Mrs. Du was worried, so she visited secretly a few times. Seeing that Chu Lingyue and Xiaoyu were having a good time, she went back to the place where the handyman lived to help Mother Du do what she could.

Du's husband was one of the people who was beaten to death by Sun Jian's family in Cangzhou. Naturally, he came to the capital this time as the sufferer.The property in Cangzhou had been taken over by Sun Jian, and the mother and son had no way out, so they had to come to the capital, one to appeal for grievances, and the other to find something to eat.

Therefore, after arriving at the Hou Mansion, Mrs. Du was careful everywhere, for fear of doing something wrong and causing trouble to Mrs. Du.

"Sister-in-law, you don't have to worry. The only master in this Hou's mansion is the eldest lady who lives in the Linglong courtyard. The eldest lady is kind-hearted and will not judge the servants harshly. As long as you do things in a safe manner, you will naturally have something to eat." After a long time Now, Mother Du was also a little helpless, so she had to tell everything about the Hou Mansion.But when talking about Liuliyuan, Mama Du only said that they had better not go there and let it go.

Mama Du entered the palace at the age of ten, and she couldn't say she had no feelings for her brother, but decades had passed, and no matter how deep the feelings were, they would fade away.When her brother got married, she was still a court lady next to the queen mother. At that time, Chu Yun was even younger than Chu Lingyue.

I still remember when my brother got married and couldn't get the dowry. She sold the jewelry that the queen mother gave her to make enough for her brother's dowry. But after that incident, she never received any news from her brother. The last news was When Mrs. Du came to the capital, he brought the news of his death.

In fact, Du's mother's elder brother died five years ago, but Du's father-in-law and mother-in-law were reluctant to part with, so the family had to rely on a little savings to survive. After the body was buried, when he heard that Master Du was coming to the capital, he quickly said that he would come too.

Mother Du didn't say who lived in the Liuli Courtyard for another purpose, and that was to fear that Mrs. Du could not hold back her temper and rush over to cause trouble for the eldest lady.

During the time when Mrs. Du was in the Hou's mansion, she already knew what happened from her mouth, and guessed that it was the eldest lady's handwriting.She won't say that she didn't write the letter, and she can't let Mrs. Du lead the disaster to Linglong Courtyard.

"Hey, I know, I will definitely not run around, and I will tell Xiaoyu to forget that place when he comes back." Du Shi nodded, bowed his head and worked hard to make socks.

The fine stitches on the fine white cloth make people look intimate, and the sock opening is even more exquisitely trimmed with a few orchids and some unknown flowers.The elderly would not wear such fancy socks, they must have been prepared for Chu Lingyue.

Mother Du sighed as she looked at the pair of socks that were destined not to be given away, got up and went out to arrange matters in the mansion. When she passed Linglong Courtyard, she heard the voice of Xiaoyu stuttering and studying, and Chu Lingyue's correcting voice with a smile. Smiled and continued to walk forward.

After walking zigzagging for a long time, when they arrived outside the Liuliyuan, their smiles disappeared when they heard Lu Mingmei's scolding inside.

It wasn't just Mother Du who lost her smile, Lu Hengtao was also there.In the court hall, although the emperor didn't say clearly how he would deal with Sun Jian, he could guess that Sun Jian was going to be in bad luck this time.

When I came back and wanted to discuss with Sun Qionghe what to do, I heard Lu Mingmei talking at the gate of the Liuliyuan.

"Bitch, is the sliced ​​meat that Miss Ben threw down delicious?"

"Second Miss, I know my mistake, and I will never dare to do it again next time!" The maid's begging voice was so pitiful that Lu Hengtao couldn't help walking over quickly.

As soon as he entered the door of the Liuliyuan, Lu Hengtao saw Lu Mingmei sitting on the porch holding a small plate in his hand, inside the plate were a few slices of raw meat that were still dripping blood, and a maid was kneeling on the ground, crying. The rouge was all spent, and she kept begging for mercy.

Before Lu Mingmei saw Lu Hengtao coming, she picked up a piece of meat and threw it on the ground. The meat rolled to the ground and got a lot of dirt. Lu Mingmei raised her eyebrows and signaled the maid to climb over and eat it.The maid didn't dare to refuse, she crawled over and stuffed it into her mouth silently, eating while crying.

Lu Hengtao knew this maid, and she was newly called to serve Lu Mingmei recently.After the arsenic appeared in Chu Lingyue's medicine bowl before, the servants of Liuliyuan sold some of them, beat them to death, and brought a new batch to Liuliyuan.

The one on the ground is called Shuining, who has not been in the mansion for long, and is a prostitute maid.The one behind Lu Mingmei was called Dan Wu, who was the personal servant girl Sun Qionghe begged for her.Now, both Lu Mingmei and Dan Wu stood there smiling and watching Shuining eat the raw meat covered in mud, not feeling that they had done too much.

"Mingmei!" After standing for a while, Lu Hengtao couldn't stand it any longer. After scolding Lu Mingmei, he came out from behind the door, looked at her dissatisfied and said, "What are you doing!"

Seeing that it was Lu Hengtao coming, Lu Mingmei put down the plate in her hand and ran over crying, "Since my daughter has this scar on her forehead, she has become much uglier, and this girl has painted flowers on her forehead. Isn't that obvious?" Are you laughing at your daughter! Daddy wants to make decisions for his daughter!"

What Lu Hengtao hates most is when Lu Mingmei cries. When she cries, his heart softens. Seeing that there is indeed a Huadian on the forehead of Shui Ning, who is kneeling on the ground, he is a little unhappy, "You, go to Du Mom will get twenty sticks!"

After finishing speaking, Lu Hengtao directly pulled Lu Mingmei into the room without even looking at Shuining.Shuining was so frightened that she burst into tears, but after seeing the look in Lu Mingmei's eyes before entering the door, she forcibly held back, got up tremblingly, and went to find Mama Du.

Sun Qionghe was resting in the room. He didn't know that Lu Hengtao was coming, but he woke up only when he entered the door.He quickly got up and was about to salute, but was stopped by Lu Hengtao.

"I know that you and Mingmei have been wronged recently." Lu Hengtao's words made Sun Qionghe feel a little bad. He glanced at Lu Mingmei and wondered if it was something that made Lu Hengtao unhappy.

"During the imperial court today, Doctor Yushi impeached your father, saying that he was enclosing land and hurting people, and..." At this point, Lu Hengtao couldn't continue.

"What's the matter?" Sun Qionghe couldn't sit still because it was about his father. He got up and took Lu Hengtao's hand and asked anxiously, "What's wrong with Father? What about the rest of the Sun family? Have you been implicated? "

Lu Hengtao patted Sun Qionghe's hand to signal her to be calm, "It's fine for now, but it's hard to say in five days. The emperor has ordered this matter, and it will be investigated by the Yushitai and then handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Affairs. Li Zhuo has never done anything. It’s watertight, and the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice is Li Zhuo’s student, so I’m afraid it’s not easy to handle this matter.”

"It's just that the crime of enclosing and wounding people can't be handed over to the Ministry of Punishment, right?" Sun Qionghe turned pale with fright, his face turned pale, and his head became dizzy for a while.Handing over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice means that there is no room for forgiveness in this matter.

Sun Qionghe suddenly remembered Chu Lingyue, and she felt that this matter had something to do with Chu Lingyue!
"Master! I'm going to beg the eldest lady, I'm going to beg the eldest lady, beg her to let my father go! If I want to kill or cut him, I will bear it alone, I just ask her to let my old father go!"

Sun Qionghe was crying with snot and tears, but it made Lu Hengtao feel unreasonable.Why did Chu Lingyue get involved in the court affairs?She is a lady in the boudoir, how can she use the errands to touch the doctor Yushi!

Lu Hengtao is not confused. Sometimes he can lean towards Sun Qionghe and Lu Mingmei just because he has a deeper affection for these two people. At this time, Sun Qionghe also mentioned that Chu Lingyue clearly wanted to pour dirty water on Chu Lingyue. If he wanted to understand this, he Immediately I got a little angry.

"You still say! If Ming Mei hadn't pushed Ling Yue out to block the knife, if it hadn't been for the emperor to know about the fact that you drugged Ling Yue, the emperor wouldn't be so angry at all! The emperor said that if the minister of the Ministry of Rites didn't know the etiquette and shame , this Minister of Rites will have to change sooner or later!" Lu Hengtao's words made Sun Qionghe stop crying, and seeing that the expression on Lu Hengtao's face didn't look like a fake, he suddenly raised his heart.

"Master, is there nothing you can do?" Sun Qionghe pulled Lu Hengtao's clothes and begged in a low voice.

"Seek good luck." After speaking, Lu Hengtao turned and walked out.When he got to the door, he thought of what Lu Mingmei did today, and suddenly felt powerless.

Five days later, Li Zhuo delivered everyone's evidence to the Ministry of Criminal Justice on time, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice quickly combined the evidence and wrote a note on the results of the incident and handed it to the emperor.

In the Palace of Political Affairs, Sun Jian knelt upright on the marble floor, the chill below his knees was piercing, but he didn't feel it at all.When Li Fengyi read the memorial, time seemed to slow down on purpose, slowing down like stagnant water, making him want to suffocate.

"Okay, what a minister of the Ministry of Rites!" After reading the memorial, Li Fengyi slammed the memorial in front of Sun Jian. Cover the sky with one hand, prevent the murder case from being reported, and injure dozens of people within a year!"
