MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 233 On the court

“Your Highness, you are so complimentary. We just happened to meet each other. I don’t know the general until my wife tells me about it. Otherwise, I can’t make arrangements in advance.”

It was indeed Du Jingyi's credit. Maybe he would learn about it some time later, but not so quickly. Not only did he get Shang Sanlang out in advance, but he also got the Jin family involved.

I have to say that this stupid son of Shangshu of Jin has tricked the Jin family once before, and now he has done it again.

Breaking into people's houses, robbing people's property, and killing people's lives. In addition, he had raised funds to frame the sons of many officials. No matter what the crime was, it was not a small crime.

 Among other things, Shangshu of Jin will also be charged with not educating his children. If he is accused of being forced to rebel by the people, I don't know if the four princes and his party can withstand it.

Thinking of this, the prince and Mr. Wen each smiled more shrewdly than the other, while Shang Ji was somewhat calm about these hidden things.

"You are a wonderful wife. I see that you are getting better and better every day. When your child is born, I will definitely reward you well."

 For the merits of Du Jingyi and the Du family, the prince cannot reward them openly, but on the pretext of having a son, the reward can be large or small.

Shang Ji did not refuse this. After all, for his wife, it would gain more face in front of the prince, and it would also be more helpful and beneficial for her to get along with other wives in the back house.

The night is approaching, and the silence is like a canvas splashed with ink, and there are many hidden thoughts and actions hidden behind it.

On the second day, while the young man of the Jin family was still sleeping, he received a message.

"died?"

"Dead, the four Du family members all came out with white silk hangings. They said they were missing this morning. Could it be that they were given to them by the young master's feet yesterday..."

 The people around the young man of the Jin family started talking about this matter. Although they didn't say it clearly, the meaning was very straightforward.

This Fourth Master Du seemed to be in pretty good health on weekdays, so how could he die after just two "light" kicks?

 But the young man from the Jin family said nonchalantly.

"What a useless rag body, and it was kicked to death after just two kicks? It's ridiculous. Could it be that there is some hidden disease in the body that makes it so useless?"

 The people below didn’t dare to reply casually. After all, a life had been caused. If the master found out about this, I’m afraid they would be left without food.

 So he immediately suggested it.

“Master, why don’t we find some way to seal the mouths of the Du family? Otherwise, if people know that we went to make trouble yesterday, I’m afraid the master will be angry again.”

　　What the young man of the Jin family said in front of Du Si about reporting to the official position were all lies.

They are not stupid, how could they make the matter public to everyone?

 Besides, he had already settled the matter yesterday, and those involved were almost at peace with it. With an extra 10% profit, no one would have trouble with the money.

 Therefore, the young man of the Jin family returned to that circle again and became friends with the brothers from the past.

 So, after listening to the words of the people below, the young man of the Jin family casually waved his hand and said.

“You can do whatever you want, as long as you can shut them up. If that doesn’t work, threaten Du Jingxian’s life. I wonder if they dare to bet on this and lose their descendants!”

"Yes, let's do it now!" After giving instructions to his men, the young man of the Jin family fell asleep again. He felt quite comfortable. However, at this moment, his old father was besieged by several officials in the court.

Your Majesty has not been to the court for a long time. I don’t know what inspired him to do it, so he appeared in the court for the first time.

The prince has been supervising the country for many years, but as long as he does not ascend to the throne of God, he can only stand aside.

He behaved openly, but the fourth prince standing below did not behave like this.

He looked at the prince, and the gnashing of teeth and unwillingness in his eyes were not enough to fall on the eyes of Prime Minister Guo and Shang Ji.

The two of them looked at the fourth prince as if they were looking at someone with arrogant ambitions, and they never tried to hide it.

 The partisanship is evident at a glance.

On the other hand, Emperor Daxing, who was sitting on the dragon throne, was still yawning out of boredom, as if he had not yet woken up from his sleep.

On the contrary, Shangshu of Jin, who was in the whirlpool, was severely besieged.

Those officials are particularly good at exaggerating from the small, so the nonsense behavior of the young man of the Jin family has risen to the level of the corruption of the Jin family's personal morality.

 No matter how capable he is, he can't stop so many sharp words. Besides, it was his son who did it in the first place, so it's useless to struggle.

In the end, I could only take a step back, kneel down with tears in my eyes and apologize.

"Your Majesty, I am ashamed of Your Majesty and my ancestors to have such a treacherous son who does not know the heights of heaven and earth. Although the things you have reported are a bit exaggerated, there is also truth in them. I beat you and scolded you. But it still doesn’t help.”

His direct acknowledgment made Emperor Daxing less impatient, so he spoke calmly.

"This matter is not entirely Jin Aiqing's fault. Isn't it said that he was kept in the dark?"

Hearing the emperor speak like this, those officials who had been arranged long ago would not let go easily, and immediately went to report.

"Your Majesty, Shangshu Jin's family affairs have been handled in a mess, let alone a major family matter. Moreover, this matter has been disturbed and spread among the people. If your Majesty's big affairs turn into small matters, I'm afraid the people will complain. "

“There are a lot of complaints? Could it be that Mr. Liu is being a little alarmist? It’s just a business that didn’t succeed. How did it rise to such a level?”

The seventh prince originally defended the fourth prince, so when he saw Jin Shangshu being besieged, he would naturally come out to help. Unfortunately, he had only been in the court for a short time, so how could he be an opponent of those officials who had been in the court for many years.

So those who spoke a few words were sent back by the officials.

"The Seventh Prince must be careful. This matter is not about business. The businessman is just a commoner. How could he be involved with so many high-ranking officials? It can be seen that he is usually good at maneuvering, and this young man of the Jin family Lang first used his reputation to help raise funds outside, and then after the incident failed, he came to force the merchant, not only ransacked the house, but also caused a loss of life. Can such a thing be a small matter? "

"Our Daxing Dynasty has been in existence for less than a hundred years, but it is still very well-behaved. If we use force to suppress the weak if something happens casually, where does that leave the country's laws? Where does that leave your Majesty? Doesn't this discredit our Daxing Dynasty?"

 “You...are simply alarmist!”

The seventh prince kept saying this, but the fourth prince knew that he couldn't speak, so he gave him a look to ask him to calm down a little.
