Chapter 395: Inform
The next day, Shen Qionghua did what she said and immediately moved to Lin Wanru's courtyard with Shaoyao and her underwear.
Lin Wanru naturally would not refuse her daughter's sudden clinginess and was very happy.
He immediately said that Shen Qionghua could stay as long as she wanted and was very welcome.
So that night, when Xie Nanyuan came to Shen Qionghua again to explain, he found that he was empty-handed.
The next day was the second day, the third day, the fourth day, and every day was like this. Lin Ze watched as her prince's love was rejected and gradually became violent. She felt like crying but had no tears to cry, but she was helpless.
You can only serve in the study, so be extra careful.
Even so, Linze's monthly salary was deducted more and more, gradually from two months to four months, then to half a year, and finally to a year.
The day of getting the monthly salary is far away, Linze wants to exchange jobs with the gatekeeper Ji Bei, but Ji Bei is not a fool.
Lin Ze's fighting power was not as good as Ji Bei's, so he could only grit his teeth and serve in the study, enduring this day after day.
During this period, the Shen family was quiet, but the capital city was in turmoil.
Although Xie Qian'an is dead, he has been in power in the court for so many years, and with the help of Concubine Zhou, he has many followers.
The reason why he did not show up that day was that he thought Xie Qian'an was sure to win and the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion would be doomed. However, the situation changed too quickly and Xie Nanyuan suddenly returned to Beijing. He was caught off guard and had no time to react.
Secondly, ninety-nine percent of them were civil servants. Without military power, they had little role to play in the conspiracy, so they did not intervene.
Third, Xie Qian'an died too quickly. Since he was dead, they naturally didn't dare to step forward again.
But they wanted to hide, but the emperor would not allow it.
Although the emperor fell ill after returning to Taiji Palace that day, he did not neglect this matter.
During this period, the Imperial Guards were arresting people everywhere in the capital. Some ministers were fine today, but their homes were raided the next day, causing panic among the people in the capital, fearing that they would be the next to be sentenced to death and have their homes confiscated.
Everyone huddled in their mansions like quails, and even the dandy young men in the family were kept under control, not daring to let them out for drinking and fun.
For a time, the business of brothels and restaurants in the capital was affected, and even the profits of Shidinglou decreased by 20%.
Shen Qionghua ignored all the commotion, crying and noise outside and just sat at home like a good girl, snuggling beside Lin Wanru. The relationship between mother and daughter became better and better.
It was not until Shen Qionghua received news from Luo Xiyao that three days later, the Yongning Earl and all male members of the Yongning Earl's mansion over the age of ten would be beheaded, and the female members of the family would be sent to the Jiaofang Bureau and the slave house, that he had an idea.
She took a bundle of banknotes from her dressing table and went out with Shaoyao.
We arrived at the small house where An Jin lived.
Shaoyao went forward and knocked on the door. The servant inside opened it slightly and saw that it was Shen Qionghua, and immediately welcomed her in.
Here Shen Qionghua met Zhou Lingfu and Wu, whom she had not seen for a long time.
The two of them seemed to have washed away all the makeup and were dressed like ordinary women.
Mrs. Wu pretended well this time, but Shen Qionghua could still see the vigilance and fear deep in her eyes.
However, Shen Qionghua didn't care. She just looked at Zhou Lingfu calmly and said, "I have something to tell you alone."
Zhou Lingfu understood and looked at Wu. She said, "Mother, please go out first. Let me talk to Shen... and Jialin County Master."
"Sister Fu..." Wu was now back from the dead. She looked at Zhou Lingfu, who had been lost and found, as if she were the apple of her eye. She was afraid that Zhou Lingfu would lose her life again if she was not careful, so she refused to go out.
Zhou Lingfu patted her hands and comforted her softly, "Don't worry, mother, it's okay. Princess Jialin won't hurt me."
Wu glanced at Shen Qionghua, then at Zhou Lingfu, and then left reluctantly.
Shen Qionghua raised an eyebrow and said, "You seem to have confidence in me. Aren't you afraid that I saved you for other reasons? I've locked you up here and left you to fend for yourself for so long, and now I'm looking for you to do something that will get you killed?"
Zhou Lingfu took a sip of the tea in her hand and said, "Even if that's true, how can I resist? My mother's life and mine are in your hands now. You can take our lives with just a word."
"In that case, you might as well be obedient. Maybe you can suffer less."
Seeing how completely different he was from before, Shen Qionghua couldn't help but sigh, "You've really changed a lot. Yes, you've become smarter, which is a good sign."
This person has to suffer a loss before he can learn his lesson.
For example, she, for example, Zhou Lingfu.
Now Zhou Lingfu no longer has the arrogance and conceit she had more than a year ago. She has become much calmer.
However, Shen Qionghua knew that this peace was only on the surface, and deeper hatred was buried in her heart.
How could the revenge for the murder of a son, the murder of a mother, and the murder of one's own body be forgotten so easily?
Shen Qionghua said calmly, "I came here to tell you a piece of good news. You should be happy to hear this news. It is related to the Prince An's Mansion and the Yongning Earl's Mansion."
Zhou Lingfu's body stiffened and she clenched her hand holding the teacup.
He suddenly looked at Shen Qionghua, and suddenly the things he had placed in Prince An's study appeared in his mind.
Under her scorching gaze, Shen Qionghua slowly spoke, "Prince An plotted treason and was personally killed by the Emperor. Earl Yongning formed a clique for personal gain, collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, secretly communicated with foreign countries, leaked military secrets, and instigated Prince An to plot treason. He was sentenced to death by the Emperor, and the property of Earl Yongning was confiscated.
"Within the three clans of the Yongning Earl's Mansion, all males over ten years old shall be executed, and those under ten shall be exiled to the frontier; all females under sixteen years old shall be imprisoned in the Jiaofang Bureau and be perpetually subjected to slavery, and those over sixteen shall be enslaved and never be redeemed."
"So, three days from now, Earl Yongning, Zhou Jinlin, and your father will die."
The teacup in Zhou Lingfu's hand suddenly fell to the ground, the porcelain pieces shattered, and the hot steam blurred everyone's eyes.
Zhou Lingfu's eyes were filled with tears. She didn't know whether her heart was filled with the joy of revenge or the reluctance to let go of her childhood memories. In the end, she could only say one sentence, "I don't have a father!"
