Novel Bin Chapter 243 - 243 Chat
Since Lin Suisui didn’t need to deal with these things anymore, she could calm down and take care of Yue’e’s body.
Lin Suisui entrusted Du Yue’e’s matter to the county governor’s wife. Because he already knew what Lin Suisui wanted, the county governor handled the matter very decisively.
It took less than two days to figure out the cause and effect!
!!
As a son-in-law, Wu Tianbao had seized his wife’s family assets and harmed her family’s descendants! Most importantly, he had cheated on her in marriage and swindled her out of her money! Therefore, it was declared that Wu Tianbao would have nothing to do with the Du family from now on!
From then on, the Du family’s assets would belong to the Du family’s son, Du Yueheng.
In addition, Wu Tianguo was sentenced to five years of hard labor in the mine with his wife and family!
After that, Lu Ze explained to her that this was already a very severe punishment. According to past records, those who went to the mine to be slaves would not live past two years!
Five years…
That was basically equivalent to a death sentence!
After Lin Suisui told Du Yue’e, who was recuperating, about this matter, Du Yue’e could not help but cry. Then, she brought her naive younger brother forward and kowtowed to Lin Suisui a few times to thank her.
Perhaps because he had been abused too much since he was young, although Du Yue’er’s younger brother was already seven years old, he still looked as frail and short as a five-year-old child.
Coupled with the fact that he had been mistreated and oppressed at home, the little fellow looked a little slow-witted. Only when he was close to his sister would he perk up.
“They’re children, so they’ll eventually get over it.” Mrs. Song had given birth before. She stood beside Lin Suisui and looked at Du Yueheng, who was playing ball with the little girl in the courtyard. With a loving expression, she said to Lin Suisui, “In the past few days, I’ve instructed the kitchen to make more nourishing soup for the siblings. They’ll be able to run around by spring!”
“Then I’ll have to trouble you!” Lin Suisui turned around and smiled at Mrs. Song with relief. “This child has suffered a lot. Before his sister recovers, I’ll let them stay in the residence for the time being.”
“Since the siblings have finally met you, the hard
times are over, and the good times are just beginning!” Mrs. Song had been a little distant and cautious towards Lin Suisui at first, but after interacting with Lin Suisui for this period of time, she admired this young but righteous master.
“That’s right. Also, there’s something else you should be mindful of.” Mrs. Song accompanied Lin Suisui along the long corridor under the roof and slowly walked towards the main courtyard as she whispered to Lin Suisui about some urgent matters that needed to be dealt with and paid attention to.
“The old consort of Huai Yang brought Princess Ning Fu back from Moyue County yesterday.”
“Huai Yang?” Lin Suisui stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Mrs. Song in confusion. There was actually such a person in Cloud Mountain City?!
Didn’t Pei Zhaoyue reign supreme previously?!
“Yes.” At the mention of Huai Yang, Mrs. Song was a little vague. It wasn’t that she was unwilling to say more, but she really knew very little about this ministry.
However, this wasn’t a problem for Lin Suisui. When she saw Lu Ze, she told him about this matter. At the same time, she naturally didn’t forget to ask about the specific situation of this ministry.
“He was a Duke with a different surname when the previous emperor was alive. Because Duke Huai Yang died on the battlefield to protect His Majesty and his only son, when he issued rewards later on, he gave the Wen family the title of Duke.
However, just as Mrs. Song said to you, this royal title is only conferred. The only masters in Duke Huai Yang’s Mansion now are Duke Huai Yang’s mother, the consort, and her granddaughter, Princess Ning Fu.”
When Lu Ze heard Lin Suisui ask about Duke Huai Yang, he was stunned for a long time before he reacted and briefly explained the current situation of Duke Huai Yang’s ministry to her. “Previously, the old consort was also approved by His Majesty to live in the capital. However, this old consort was extremely stupid. She relied on the prestige of her husband and only son to have her way in the capital. She condoned her father and brother bullying people.
Now, His Majesty could not take it anymore. Not only did he punish her father and brother, but he also sent the grandmother and grandchild back to the fief of Cloud Mountain County.
When the old consort came to the fief, she naturally wanted to act high and mighty as she did in the past. In the end, she encountered Pei Zhaoyue, who was even more lawless. The two tigresses fought until the old princess was defeated and brought her granddaughter to Moyue County.
Now that she’s back, she probably heard about the commotion in Cloud Mountain City and knows that Pei Zhaoyue has lost her power. She probably wants to come back and continue showing off!”
“You mean she’ll cause trouble for me?!” Lin Suisui looked at Lu Ze in shock and instantly understood the meaning behind Lu Ze’s words.
Lu Ze raised his hand and patted Lin Suisui’s shoulder as he encouraged her gently, “Yes, if I’m not mistaken, she’ll probably visit Pei Zhaoyue first before sending someone to invite you over!”
“Why will she take the initiative to visit Pei Zhaoyue, but ask me to go over for a chat?!” Lin Suisui raised her eyebrows and muttered in dissatisfaction, “Isn’t she looking down on me?!
Besides, why does she think that I, who can go against Pei Zhaoyue, will listen to her orders so obediently?!”
“Probably because she’s older than you and more shameless than you?!” Lu Ze thought about Lin Suisui’s words carefully and replied.
Lin Suisui, who was originally a little dissatisfied, could not help but laugh because of Lu Ze’s answer. She chuckled as she said, “Then, I’ll be shameless for once and refuse to see her!
Moreover, I don’t think she can take advantage of Pei Zhaoyue this time! Pei Zhaoyue is probably still filled with anger because of the money!
If Duke Huai Yang’s mother goes over, won’t she be a sitting duck?!”
“Then wait for her at home! I have to go to the nearby military camps to check on military affairs in the next two days. I might not be able to stay in the city every day!
I’ve already sent more people to Su Le in advance. If anyone really comes to cause trouble in the next two days, they’ll send them away. If you encounter unreasonable people, ignore them. Just let Su Le and the others send them away!”
