Chapter 238 – Justification

Hearing the old master’s words, except for Meng Ruimo, everyone sitting there was taken aback and looked at Duke Cheng.

Duke Cheng was even more scared out of his wits, kneeling on the ground at once and heavily kowtowing.

“Why did father say this, son is terrified.”

As his father knelt down, Meng Zhiyu also couldn’t sit still and followed along.

The old man snapped again, “Say, who exactly gave you that little stone?”

“Yes, it’s ……” Cheng Guo Gong big drops of sweat rolled down, and asked again, “My son sees that this jewel is beautiful and tight, what’s wrong with it?”

The old master snorted coldly.

This matter is top secret, he is not even willing to say more about his family, how can he ask outsiders. But he was sure that the small stone was definitely not a gift from General Hao, and said so.

When the old man was so deceitful, even the others could see that Lord Cheng was lying. He should be protecting the person who really sent the emerald, or maybe the emerald was really sent by him.

The old master took a look at this talentless son, shook his head, and said to Meng Zhong, “Tell them what happened to this stone.”

Meng Zhong bowed and said, “Yes.”

He pointed to the six pots of flowers and said, “These six pots of flowers were brought over from the Jin Garden on the fifth day of this month …….”

When everyone listened to his words, their complexions stared up.

Duke Cheng’s eyes widened in horror as he looked at the two pots of flowers that had already died. A small stone was this powerful? He didn’t dare to hide it anymore, he couldn’t afford the sin of killing his old father.

But he believed that Fu Jia would not harm his father, harm him, and Jia Bao’er didn’t know that this small stone could kill. He could not tell Jia Bao’er, his father already had preconceptions about Jia Bao’er, and if he did, Jia Bao’er would not be able to live.

Duke Cheng bent down and kowtowed to the old Duke again, raised his head and said, “My son didn’t dare to hide it, this stone was a gift from the Fu family. The Fu family has no reason to harm you, it must be which political enemy wants to harm your old man, through the hands of the Fu family ……”

The old master said, “Oh? It’s who from the Fu family who handed it over to you and then asked you to send it to me?”

“It is ……” Cheng Guo Gong hesitantly said, “It is Fu’s maternal nephew, Fu Chuan, who came to the capital some days ago and asked me to forward it to father.”

The old master sneered, “If he wanted to send a gift, why didn’t he give it to me in person, and had to fake it. Is it that he already knew that this stone was unusual?”

Duke Cheng shook his head and denied, “No, the Fu family will not ……”

The old master was so angry that he stood up and stomped on Duke Cheng’s body. Drinking, he said, “The facts are in front of us, that person just wants the old son’s life, and will have to go through your hands. You, the rebellious son, yet you still want to protect her!”

Saying that, he kicked him two more times.

Meng Rui Yu kept kowtowing, “Grandfather rest in anger, grandfather rest in anger ……”

He already had a guess in his heart and was scared to death.

Meng second master also had a guess, got up to help his old father to sit down, anxious, “Big brother, all to this time, how you still do not tell the truth. Don’t you really want to bear the bad name of killing your father? Quickly say, who the hell is it!”

Meng Zhimo sneered, “If he won’t say, I’ll say it for him. That stone was obtained by Zhao Hu from the Wufan monks, and then asked Mrs. Ding Er to give it to Fu, so that Fu could use it to harm grandfather. Fu didn’t dare or have the means to give it directly to grandfather, so she passed it through father’s hands.”

Duke Cheng’s eyes stared like bronze bells, they knew so carefully? It turned out that they had long been hiding their attention from the Marquis of Zhennan. It turned out that Jia Bao’er had been hoodwinked by the Marquis of Zhennan and Noble Consort Zhao.

Frustrated and angry, he said, “That bastard Zhao Hu, he actually dared to harm father and our Meng family, I will not forgive him lightly.” He knelt again and walked to the old Duke’s leg, holding his leg and swallowing even more, “Father, Jia Bao’er didn’t mean to harm you, she was also deceived by the Zhao family and didn’t know the inside story.”

This is to admit that the stone is Fu sent, but also for the Fu exonerated.

The old man was so angry that he stomped hard again, and Duke Cheng was stomped half a foot away.

Meng Zhimo looked at the stubborn Duke Cheng and said, “Will Fu not know the inside story? Father, she has done more than this one evil deed through you. Years ago, your servant passed on your scandalous affair with Fu to my mother, causing my mother to hemorrhage to death giving birth to me. Did you ask that man to spread the word, or was it Fu?

?

“You sent my own soldier, Meng Dingshan, who caused me to fall off my horse and almost die, and instead of dying, I went blind. Who asked you to send Meng Dingshan, you wouldn’t not remember, would you? Fu is also in your name to trick my sister out to let the crown prince see, if not we layout in advance, into the East Palace and dead people will not be Zhao Yuan Luo, but Meng Yue …… this pile of things, is it you or Fu intentionally? You not only want to kill us mother and son, but also grandfather.”

The more Meng Yue spoke, the more angry she became, and her voice was a little more gulping when she spoke at the back.

Cheng Guo Gong’s eyes were wooden, “No, I didn’t ……” He didn’t, it was Fu behind him.

Meng Ruyu’s heart like emptied general, froze kneeling there, face pale, lips constantly trembling. He knew that those things must have been done by his mother undoubtedly.

How could mother be so stupid, why did she listen to Zhao Hu and Noble Consort Zhao? How many times had he advised his mother not to be instigated, he didn’t want his mother to use that kind of tactics to make a future for herself, he didn’t want to be the son of the world. He worked so hard on his studies that he wanted to be a scholar in the exams, go out of the cabinet and worship the prime minister, and overpower Meng Ruimo …… with his own skills.

Meng Zhimo added, “Also, I was surrounded by evil slaves since I was a child, teaching me to do bad things and spreading a bad reputation. My sister was taught to be simple and unaware of things, and was married off to the Huang family, and her lackeys still had to say what my sister wasn’t in the Huang family, and was not treated well by her in-laws. All of this, and you still think Fu was unintentional?”

Second Master Meng shook his head and said with a sigh, “In that case, it seems that Big Brother really married a viper into the family ah. If it wasn’t for father and Resignation Mo seeing the signs, the entire family would have been victimized into it.”

Duke Cheng’s gaze slid around the room, the old master’s rage, Meng Rumo’s grief, Second Master Meng’s anger, Meng Ruyue and Meng Ruyan’s incredulity, and Meng Ruyue’s soulfulness.

It seemed that everyone in the room believed that those things were true ……

His gaze went back to the old master, “There is always an original reason for doing something, why did Jia Bao’er help the Marquis of Zhennan to harm father?”

He directly ignored the Qu Clan, Meng Zhimo, and Meng Yue. Fu had harmed the three of them in order to marry him, in order to plot benefits to her own children. But he couldn’t figure out why Fu wanted to harm her old father. She couldn’t get a single benefit from harming her old father, and she would still die if she was discovered.

The old man was so angry that he spat, a mouthful of spittle on the face of the Duke of Cheng. When he was a child, he had never spit on anyone, and today he was also furious, and felt that only this action could vent the pent up anger in his chest, and it was even more relieving than hitting someone.

The second shift is almost finished, please later. Many readers can see that the emerald is a radioactive substance, which the ancients did not recognize. There were also natural radioactive ores in ancient times, but the radiation was so weak that it couldn’t cause major harm to people. Therefore, they did not know that natural stones can be “poisonous”. This kind of stone is the Wu Fan monk from their practice place to bring over, this article set up they in the alchemy of the harmful substances extracted, this kind of material has strong and weak, because he did not get a thousand years of red-headed turtles, to give is relatively weak damage to the ore. These are the ancient common people do not know, so the male and female protagonists do not recognize, the latter coming Li Zhenbao certainly know.
