Chapter 24 The Right Censor Falls in Love with His Granddaughter-in-Law!
In the courtyard, Master Liu was furious.
The Right Censor Zhou, who led the remonstration, was cheating on his grandson's wife?
How shameful!
"Ahem, this hot and sour noodle is a bit choking, a bit choking..." Master Liu covered up with a red face.
The old lady of the Liu family stepped on him hard.
But Xiao Chuchu was in the rocking chair, and her complaints were not over yet.
[Master Zhou was disrespectful because he was old. He took advantage of his grandson's absence and forced his grandson's wife! ]
The whole room was silent.
The chopsticks in Concubine Liu's hand almost pierced the jade bowl!
He actually succeeded! ?
[Ah, I remember, it happened after returning from the winter festival this time! ]
[Master Zhou's grandson was in the capital city and was responsible for night patrol. He thought that on the night when his grandson went to patrol, he sneaked into his grandson's wife's room, forced her, and threatened her that if she told his grandson, his grandson would definitely divorce her! ]
Xiao Chuchu was so angry that she clenched her fists when she thought about it. [Later, the granddaughter-in-law could not bear the humiliation and hanged herself to death. He said that she died of illness! ]
[The maid who knew about the granddaughter-in-law was also scalded in the throat by Lord Zhou and sold far away. ]
Master Liu was stunned.
Old Lady Liu and Concubine Liu's chests rose and fell.
This old man Ren is simply lawless!
He is a beast, right?
[Grandfather, you are now the censor of the Censorate, and you have to supervise all officials. ]
[You should quickly reveal the ugly face of this old guy and not let him succeed! ]
[Aww, when can I speak? Hey, if Grandfather could hear my voice, it would be great. ]
Master Liu: "!"
He was pointed by his granddaughter.
Old Lady Liu had a complicated expression, but she still resisted turning her head to look at her granddaughter in the cradle.
Concubine Liu, who was in the main seat, could not swallow the appetizing hot and sour noodles in front of her.
The granddaughter-in-law of Mr. Zhou, the Right Censor, was her good friend before she got married, Min Rou.
At that time, her father had just passed the imperial examination, and her mother took her to the capital to attend the autumn appreciation party.
It was at that time that she met Miss Min, whose father worked in the Hanlin Academy.
At that time, the official rank of the Min family was far higher than that of the Liu family, but Miss Min did not look down on her at all. She also found that she had no one to talk to, so she often accompanied her.
Later, the Liu family followed the master to leave the capital to work, and they still had correspondence.
It was not until she entered the palace and heard that Min Rou married into the mansion of the Right Censor that the two gradually lost contact.
But this was not alienation due to disgust, but a restriction of status.
Concubine Liu felt a little sad when she thought about it. Since she married into the palace, not to mention her good friends, even her parents could not see her often.
She could not summon people into the palace at will unless she got the queen's permission.
Not to mention going out of the palace to see people, and sending letters every now and then.
Concubine Liu was secretly sad, but soon she heard the little princess's squeak, and she turned her worries into laughter.
With her daughter accompanying her, she finally has hope for the days.
She can change a lot of things now!
Concubine Liu thought, put down her chopsticks, looked at the master of the Liu family, and spoke after thinking for a while.
"Dad, you are a new censor. As the saying goes, a new official has three fires when he takes office. The first one is to report to the emperor. Do you have any clues now?"
The master of the Liu family coughed lightly.
Yes.
But he couldn't say it clearly.
Could it be that he got instructions from his granddaughter while eating hot and sour noodles?
He was ready to kill his newly transferred local superior - the right censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the third person in the Metropolitan Procuratorate!
Master Liu smiled as he thought about it, "Mother Chan, I have my own ideas. I'll make a plan before I act. Don't worry about Dad."
Princess Liu couldn't help but frown.
Old Madam Liu couldn't help but step on him again.
Master Liu is just too conceited and stubborn like a cow!
Others' opinions are just worrying about nothing. He is the only one who can do it!
Princess Liu sighed lightly, but didn't give up, "Dad, have you heard that the little princess was almost killed when she was just one month old a few days ago."
Master Liu blew his beard and glared, "It was the last wet nurse? I heard from Madam, did the nurse find out anything?"
Princess Liu shook her head and frowned, "She refused to say anything and was sentenced to death."
The mastermind behind the scenes is Chen Changzai.
But this is not what she wants to tell her father.
"Dad, I thought that I had lived in Donghua Palace for many years and had always kept a low profile, so no one would harm me. But I couldn't guard against the people around me."
"It turns out that we can't let our guard down even when we are in a familiar place."
"Dad, what do you think if I become a concubine and have to move to another palace, separated from the familiar Minpin and Chenchangzai, and live with other concubines? Is it more dangerous?"
When Mr. Liu heard this, he also became nervous for his daughter.
"You have to be more cautious. When living with new people, you must not trust them easily, and you must get to know them first."
Princess Liu nodded, "Dad is right."
"Then Dad, you are a censor for the first time, and you should report to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. You should also get to know the adults working with you in the Metropolitan Procuratorate first."
Mr. Liu was stunned.
It turned out that his daughter was using her own experience to remind him!
He couldn't help but look at his young daughter before entering the palace. He saw that Liu Channiang was now wearing an exquisite lake blue silk dress embroidered with hundreds of butterflies, her hair was tied up, and she had a golden pheasant and kingfisher hairpin with pearls on it.
She was not dressed up deliberately, but she was extraordinary everywhere.
Liu Channiang's pair of eyebrows and eyes, which were gentle and submissive in the past, were particularly bright today, revealing a firmness that was not there before.
The old man of the Liu family was shocked to realize that his daughter had grown up!
She grew up rapidly in the palace, and was no longer a little show girl or a little promise.
"Dad?"
"Grandpa?"
"Yes, Channiang, you are right."
Grandpa Liu nodded solemnly to his daughter.
He stroked his beard and smiled, "Dad saw you were so gentle and submissive before, and insisted on teaching you to read the Four Books and Five Classics. It seems that the books Dad taught you are really useful. You are now standing up."
Liu Pin almost broke down for a moment.
How could she be taught by her father!
It was the little princess who taught her that a person must stand firm in order for the whole family to survive!
Dad is so shameless that he even took the credit of the little princess to flatter himself!
Liupin supported her forehead.
"Okay, my dear daughter, I'll listen to you. When Dad takes office, he will not investigate all the officials first, but observe the inside of the Censorate first!"
Old Master Liu smiled while stroking his long beard, not noticing his daughter's abnormality at all.
He was originally thinking hard about how to explain to the emperor how he thought of investigating the family affairs of the Right Censor, but now he has an explanation.
It was his daughter Liupin who suggested it!
[Aw, I didn't expect that the incident of me being harmed by the nanny would alert my mother to my grandfather~]
[Sure enough, the butterfly effect is powerful. ]
[I hope my grandfather can find out about Mr. Zhou's evil deeds as soon as possible! I must save his poor grandson's wife before his grandson patrols the streets! Let that old dog man be punished! 】
Xiao Chuchu was so excited that she waved her hands.
Master Liu nodded secretly. He wanted to stay with his daughter for a while.
But now there is this urgent matter of saving people, so he can't stay. There are still many things waiting for him to do.
"Chan Niang, you are now the queen of the harem, and Dad can't stay with you for long."
"I am here, and Concubine Min can only eat in the side hall. Let your mother stay with you, and Dad will leave first."
Master Liu took three bites and quickly ate a large bowl of hot and sour noodles.
Before leaving, he couldn't help but hugged Xiao Chuchu in the cradle with tears.
"My little granddaughter, I don't know when grandpa will see you again next time."
"Don't worry, grandpa will definitely do his job as the censor well and prepare a dowry for you in the future."
Concubine Liu's eyes were red when she heard it.
Xiao Chuchu was also a little sad, and tried to stretch out her still soft little hands to Master Liu, [Awoo, Grandfather~]
[Lunjia will miss you~~~]
[When Lunjia can speak, I will tell the emperor father to ask you to enter the palace~~]
Master Liu shed tears in pain, reluctantly let go of Xiao Chuchu, and looked back every few steps.
Xiao Chuchu was also reluctant and burst into tears.
[Grandfather...]
Minpin was sad to hear this, and quietly returned to her backyard from behind the screen in the side hall.
Unexpectedly, she met Emperor Xiao Yunzhou who strode into Liupin's courtyard.
Xiao Yunzhou heard the wailing of his precious daughter in the room, and his heart was sore.
At that moment, he stopped.
In the future, he would often call the old man of the Liu family into the palace to answer questions, so as to relieve the Liu family's pain of missing him.
Thinking of this, after the Qiushan sacrifice was over, Xiao Yunzhou set off to return to the palace.
However, after three or five days, he still hadn't fulfilled his secret promise to ask the Liu family master to enter the palace again.
Because the little princess Chuchu was ill, she cried so hard on Qiushan because her grandfather left and hurt her throat, and she came back listless.
Xiao Yunzhou was anxious, and the right censor Zhou Wuxin, together with more than 20 other ministers, submitted five memorials in a row, urging him to establish a prince.
The memorials first preached, then scolded, scolding him as an emperor for not establishing a prince, disregarding his ancestors' country and the people of the world, which made Xiao Yunzhou so angry that he had blisters in his mouth!
"This bunch of bastards!"
Xiao Yunzhou didn't want to see anyone, he just wanted to see his sick and listless daughter every day!
But this group of people blocked him and scolded him every day!
On the sixth day, when Xiao Yunzhou was so angry that he didn't even want to go to court, he received a memorial from the Liu family master.
"Does the Liu family also want me to appoint a crown prince?"
After all, the master of the Liu family is the fifth prince's grandfather.
Xiao Yunzhou has recently been very repulsive to officials from the maternal families of several princes.
But when he flipped open the memorial unhappily, Xiao Yunzhou was dumbfounded.
"Right Censor Zhou Wuxin has corrupt personal ethics and a despicable family tradition. There is solid evidence!"
"I beg the emperor to arrest Zhou Wuxin and investigate him in the Dali Temple!"
