Chapter 6

The emperor said without hesitation, "confiscation."

"Yes." Wu Dongming breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he withstood the pressure and did not return the betrothal gift to the Dingyuan Houfu, which was in line with the emperor's wishes.

That girl is right, you are unpredictable, you don't need to speculate on the emperor's mind, just ask if you don't understand, just obey the order.

Well, credit her.

The emperor pondered for a while, "Investigate the case as soon as possible, don't delay."

"Yes."

Wu Dongming waited for a while, and when he saw that the king did not speak again, he retired.

When he walked out the door, he saw the noble concubine and his son, and quickly stepped forward to salute, "I have seen the noble concubine, and I have seen the third prince."

The imperial concubine looked noble and did not look at him directly.

The third prince was young and vigorous, so he couldn't bear his temper, "Master Wu, I heard that you just copied the residence of the Minister of the Household?"

He came from a noble concubine, and was spoiled as a little overlord, especially coddled and willful.

Wu Dongming had a headache when he saw this little ancestor. It was unreasonable, but the emperor just liked it.

He answered in a straightforward manner, "According to the emperor's orders."

The third prince questioned in dissatisfaction, "Dingyuan Hou's mansion wants to return the dowry, why don't you? Is this deliberately hitting the mother's face?"

Marquis Dingyuan was his uncle, and the prince was his cousin, and he was tied to his boat. Their interests were one.

Wu Dongming did not give Yuanhou face, that is, he did not give face to him and his concubine.

This ignorant dog slave.

Wu Dongming cupped his hands, with a respectful look on his face, "Don't dare, this is the emperor's will."

The implication is that if there is any dissatisfaction, go to the emperor to make trouble.

In fact, he knew that the third prince was taking advantage of the question, who made him not accept the solicitation of the third prince, and did not invest in others?

I don't even think about it, can Wu Yiwei reach out to the prince? In such a hurry to recruit forces to suppress the heir, what does the emperor think?

The third prince's face darkened, just as he was about to say something, there was a light coughing sound, he immediately raised a smile, and shouted happily, "Father, my son is here."

Turning your face is like flipping a book, and your mood is changeable.

Wu Dongming lowered his eyes, how can the royal family be so stupid? don't know how many masks are on face.

capricious? Coddle? Outrageous? Probably all masks.

The princes have all grown up, and the momentum of seizing the heirloom has been looming. The court officials have all started a new round of standing in line, setting off waves of bloody storms.

However, their Wuyiwei is the emperor's direct line, and they are only loyal to the emperor.

The day they stand in line is their death.

The imperial concubine did not expect to see the prince here, her eyes were slightly heavy.

The third prince pursed his lips, saluted with a smile on his face, and kept talking.

"Royal father, this dowry belongs to the man's family. Since it is not married, it is only natural to return it."

"The sons of Dingyuan Hou's mansion are prosperous and consume a lot of money, and they have long been unable to make ends meet. Father, for the sake of Dingyuan Hou's loyalty, you should return this betrothal gift."

"Dingyuan Hou's mansion will definitely be grateful to Dade..."

He Barabara talked for a long time, but he didn't get a reply from the emperor. He didn't understand a bit, "Father."

The emperor glanced at him lightly, and finally came to Chrysostom, "You are late, everything has entered the treasury."

Once in the warehouse, it is national property, not something you can take if you want.

Word Terminator!

Three Princes:  …

Why didn't you tell me earlier? Playing with him on purpose, right? So angry, is it still my father?

However, he made a package ticket to Dingyuanhou, what should do?

He subconsciously looked to his mother for help, the imperial concubine shook his head slightly at him, it was a foregone conclusion.

The third prince was frustrated, and glared at the prince quietly, the prince must be instigating.

The prince raised his eyebrows, half-smiling, his younger brothers had grown up and had more ideas.

...

The Mu family spent the New Year in prison, and every moment was a torment.

Eating and drinking are all in a small area

space

, the toilet stinks to the sky, making people sick.

I can sleep with a layer of straw on the ground, and eat coarse grains, Wowotou, which is so hard and rough that it is hard to swallow.

The porridge was as thin as water and had a musty smell, which was worse than pig food.

The pampered Mu family couldn't bear this pain.

They deeply suspected that they were wearing small shoes, who made old lady Mu offend the jailer.

Some people didn't dare to say it, but they blamed Old Lady Mu in their hearts.

Humans are iron rice and steel, and they will die if they are hungry for a day. Children cry when they are hungry.

There was really no other way, and the pig food had to be eaten, so everyone bit the bullet and closed their eyes.

After a few days, the Mu family looked pale, lost a lot of weight, and seemed to be drained of energy and sick.

The tempting aroma of food came from the cell next door. The white rice was mixed with the oily stewed broth, which was fragrant.

The Mu family stared straight at it, salivating.

I didn't touch it before, it was too greasy, but now I'm crying.

The old lady Mu didn't eat well and sleep well either, her complexion was extremely poor, her wealthy body quickly lost weight, her old face became thinner, and there were many more wrinkles.

Mu Zhongde looked at Jin Sun, who was drooling, then looked at his haggard mother, pressed his twitching stomach, stood up and saluted.

"This brother, can you give my old lady a share? It doesn't matter if we don't eat, but the old lady will get sick if she doesn't eat."

Ask for food for the old lady and grandson, and he can rub some too.

The other party is a strong man with five big and three thick, full of market spirit, raised eyebrows and raised eyes, "What are you dreaming about? Your old lady's illness is none of my business?"

These noble grandparents do not understand the sufferings of the world, and do not think about it, is it easy for ordinary people to eat meat and white rice?

They are all prisoners, who is more noble than whom? They are all the same people, why should give you precious food to eat?

Mu Zhongde was embarrassed and annoyed, but his craving for food prevailed, "We will give back to the Mu family a hundredfold in the future, so..."

"What do the people who have entered here talk about in the future? It's better to ask the ancestors to bless you and live a few more days." The strong man rolled his eyes, "Want to eat? Go to the jailer."

As long as they are willing to spend money, the jailer will provide three meals.

Mu Zhongde's expression froze, and his eldest son muttered angrily, "If we want money, will we still ask for help in a low voice?"

All valuables were seized, and the poor were left with only one mouth.

The strong man was very impatient, "Then expect your relatives and friends to deliver meals to you. As long as the money is open, everything can be discussed."

He took a big mouthful of grilled rice, and under the watchful eyes of the Mu family, he just ate a sense of pride in the delicacies of mountains and seas.

He has it, others don't, it's cool!

Mu Jinyao leaned against the wall weakly, her face flushed abnormally, and she felt extremely uncomfortable, "Grandmother, why aren't the first and second aunts coming?"

The old lady Mu also wanted to ask, it has been several days, why haven't the two daughters appeared yet?

The husband's family is rich and powerful, so it's not difficult to spend some money to make them feel better in prison.

"It will come, it may be temporarily stumped."

There's no basis in what she said, and she didn't even believe it herself.

Mu Wanqing sat in the corner and watched coldly. Even Qin Hui had a few good friends, but why did the Mu family get along so badly?

Not only did no one come to visit, there was no one to deliver the meal.

Or, the Mu family's situation is so serious that they are too scared to get involved?

Mu Jinyao was held in the palm of his hand as soon as he was born.

Seeing that no one offered a helping hand, there was no hope in sight, the mind became more fragile, the body felt uncomfortable, and the brows were frowning in pain.

Mrs. Mu looked at her daughter worriedly and touched her forehead, it was very hot.

She panicked all of a sudden, "I have a fever, please ask a doctor, messenger, please, help me get a doctor."

The jailer on duty was the one that Mrs. Mu had offended. Hearing the plea, he said coldly, "Come on, it depends on her life if she can't survive it."

Mu Jinyao has been placed on high hopes by the Mu family since she was a child, expecting her to marry and help her family to a higher level, and now it is considered to be the only chance for a comeback.

Therefore, they were all in a hurry and begged the jailer.

The jailer is hard-hearted and just ignores it.

"The third sister has medicine in her hand." Sun Shi, the eldest daughter-in-law of the eldest house, suddenly remembered.

The Mu family all looked at Mu Wanqing.

Madam Mu angrily reprimanded, "Third girl, why don't you say anything when you have medicine? Take it out and save people, even if you are jealous of your big sister, you can't just die."

It was as if the second room owed them.

Mu Wanqing frowned. She didn't want to save her, but waited for them to speak first.

lest anything be blamed on her.

The Mu family is not unreasonable, but depends on people.

But obviously, in the eyes of Mrs. Mu, Mu Wanqing is the object of her anger at will.

Mu Wanqing was lazy to reason with her, and would never wake up people who pretended to be awake.

"Ten taels of silver per medicine."

These people have developed the habit of asking for anything for the second room. For the sake of their future life, she will help them set rules.

Madam Mu was furious, "We are a family, how can you talk about money..."

Before she could finish speaking, Mu Wanqing interrupted impatiently, "Don't forget it."

Uncle Mu scolded coldly, "Second brother, you take care of your daughter, how can such a philistine look like a descendant of the Mu family? It's tarnishing the lintel."

Second Master Mu is an honest man. If you ask for it, he is very good at talking.

But he loves his children, you say he can, but his children are not. "I can't handle it."

Mu Zifeng is the grandson of the eldest house, and she is very dissatisfied with Mu Wanqing, "Where do we get the money?"

"Then write an IOU." Mu Wanqing said lightly.

"No pen and paper." Mu Zifeng has a lot of heart.

Mu Wanqing didn't answer him at all, "Sir, do me a favor."

The busy jailer was happy to help, but he deliberately made it difficult for him to get along with the Mu family's big room.

No way, Mr. Mu had to write an IOU. Anyway, he just walked through the motions and didn't plan to pay it back.

Mu Wanqing carefully folded the IOU, put it away slowly, and then picked out a medicine from the box.

"It's up to you to decide whether to eat or not. If you have any problems, don't come to me. It's useless if you look for it."

Although the words are said, they are very carefully selected. hope that they will work and live well.

Neither the original owner nor she was jealous of Mu Jinyao.

Mu Jinyao fell asleep after taking the medicine.

"Eat." The sound of knocking on the rice bowl sounded.

This time, obediently went to get food, no matter how bad it was, it was better than being hungry.

For the first time in their lives, pampered people know what it's like to be hungry.

Mu Wanqing's mother and daughter also took it, each with a bowl of thin porridge and two wowotou.

Mu Wanqing was not in a hurry to eat it, she broke the wowotou and dipped it in the porridge, and then ate it after it turned into a paste.

Mrs. Mu also followed her example to break the nest, mother, it is really too unpalatable, and don't know what's afraid of inside.

"Qing'er, you are suffering."

Mu Wanqing was thrown into the military camp by her grandfather during the summer vacation in high school. It exercised her independence and sharpened her mind, and also learned a lot of skills.

However, no matter how hard it is, have never eaten such unpalatable food.

She is a person who goes with the flow and does not have high requirements for material things, except for food.

Just bear with it.

She showed a sweet smile, "Our whole family is together, so it won't be bitter."

Mrs. Mu's eyes were red, such a well-behaved and sensible girl.

While they were eating, Wuyiwei came, and the jailer warmly greeted him and flattered him.

It was an acquaintance, Wu Dongming, who glanced at it a few times, and the Mu family had all changed, no longer lustrous and beautiful, all of them were pale and worried.

But the amazing thing is that he saw the girl eating gooey in the corner at a glance, her complexion was not good, but her demeanor was calm.

He directly named him, "Bring Mu Zhongde up for interrogation."

The two Wuyiwei guards opened the cell and took Mu Zhongde out.

Mu Zhongde's clothes were wrinkled, his beard was shaggy, his hair was unkempt, and his body had a stench.

He looked flustered, "Master Wu, what else do you want to ask? I'll be honest."

Wu Dongming did not rush to leave, but looked at the crowd, "Miss Mu San."

Everyone looked at Mu Wanqing in unison, a little gloating.

Will she be taken away too? Hahaha, you deserve it, make you crazy, make you proud, make you disrespect your elders, make you unfilial.

Especially the old lady Mu, a trace of resentment and pleasure flashed in her eyes.

Madam Mu grabbed her daughter's hand nervously, her face turning pale.

Mu Wanqing gently pushed her hand away and walked over with a frankness, "Mr. Wu, is there something wrong?"
