Chapter 346 Saving Cen Mingzhu
Seeing that he was really anxious, Cen Li's expression softened a little, "It's useless for you to be anxious. My eldest brother was really killed this time. Originally, he could at least be promoted continuously. It's not a problem to be a second-rank general, but because of Mingzhu's trouble, the emperor only promoted him to one rank, and other rewards were gone.
These are not the most important things. Originally, my eldest brother was half in the military camp. The real power has been divided, and now his side is also in a mess, and he still has to wipe your butts, how capable he is!"
Zhu Yixuan was scolded so hard that he couldn't hold his head up, but he was secretly relieved. As long as As long as Cen Yingfan recognizes Cen Mingzhu as his daughter, he will discuss other matters later.
In order to show his sincerity to Cen Mingzhu, Zhu Yixuan suggested: "Uncle, in this situation, I have a suggestion, which will not offend Marquis Yong'an and can also protect Mingzhu."
"What?" Cen Li raised his eyebrows and looked at him calmly.
Zhu Yixuan told his plan, "Let the county magistrate sentence Mingzhu to exile and pay some money. This should make the people resentful. When Mingzhu goes to the border and her father-in-law is around, she can still live a comfortable life." It's a good day to be comfortable, and you don't have to suffer any hardship. I can go with her and take good care of her."
Cen Li's eyes lit up, but he still hesitated, "You can really leave Zhaohua. County? Your father has no objection?"
Zhu Yixuan firmly handed over, "It's natural. My father is in charge of the family business. I can get some good goods from Longxia Country when I go to the border. Business is beneficial and harmless."
"Okay! Then do as you say!" Cen Li breathed a sigh of relief and finally smiled.
Under his operation, Cen Mingzhu, who had been imprisoned for half a year, finally saw the light of day again.
She had shackles hanging around her neck and bracelets and anklets all over her body. She was escorted step by step out of Zhaohua County by officials. Along the way, angry people threw stones, rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves at her. , and some even spit on her.
Cen Mingzhu was so angry that she lost her expression and wanted to cut everyone alive.
The exile team did not untie Cen Mingzhu until they left the border of Zhaohua County. Cen Li, Zhu Yixuan and others who came to greet her politely explained: "We have tried our best to protect her, we are just watching. There are too many people.”
Zhu Yixuan expressed his understanding and gave a generous thank you gift.
After the official received the money, his attitude became better, and he consciously went aside to rest. Here, they only had to follow the Zhu family's carriage, instead of going all the way to the border like before.
Zhu Yixuan sent the official away before looking at Cen Mingzhu.
The Cen Mingzhu in front of him was sloppy and exuded all kinds of stinks. Her eyes were gloomy and vicious, as if she had no good intentions towards anyone. Zhu Yixuan frowned subconsciously.
"Okay, let the maids and ladies wash and tidy up the pearl first, and rest for two days before we set off."
Cen Li spoke, and the maids and ladies hurried forward to surround her. Cen Mingzhu entered the guest room.
After Cen Mingzhu had packed up and came out, Cen Li couldn't help but feel sad when he saw his much older niece, "You kid! You turned a deaf ear to all the things your father said to you before you got married! This time, your father got promoted. , many tribesmen have objections to you. Let’s take you back to the border first. Don’t go anywhere for the time being. In the next few years, try to stay in the house and don’t go anywhere until the news is over.”
"Uncle! Do you think it's my fault?" Cen Mingzhu threw her chopsticks angrily, "Those are just untouchables! They were the first to speak rudely to me. What happened to me teaching them a lesson? Why should I be put in jail? I am from the Cen family. The most distinguished lady! My father is a general with great military exploits, why should he be a small county magistrate?" Two lines of tears fell from Cen Mingzhu's stubborn face, full of resentment and stubbornness.
Cen Li was so angry that his heart ached, "Is that the county magistrate's business? What you offended was the Marquis of Yong'an! The Marquis who was canonized by the Emperor Zheng'er! He still made great contributions. The Marquis is more patient than your father!"
"I don't know what Yong'an Marquis is!" Cen Mingzhu curled her lips, still not convinced.
Cen Li gritted his teeth and simply told the story, "Shen Yi of the Shen family is the godson of Marquis Yong'an. If you provoke Marquis Yong'an's godson, you are offending Marquis Yongan! On one side is Marquis Yongan, and on the other is the fourth-rank general. You What do you think the county magistrate will do? You deserve to be imprisoned!"
"No! That Shen Yi is just a bastard! It's absolutely impossible for them to be untouchables! It’s related to Marquis Yong’an!” Cen Mingzhu didn’t want to believe anything he said.
Cen Li closed his eyes tiredly, "Anyway, I have said everything. The reason why you are still standing here is because Yixuan and your father have worked hard. Stop messing around!"
"Mingzhu, my cousin is right, a little impatience will mess up a big plan." Zhu Yixuan advised.
This sentence successfully angered Cen Mingzhu.
"You still have the nerve to criticize me! If it weren't for your obsession with that bitch, why would I have gone to such a poor place to trouble the Shen family? It's all because of you!"
"Yixuan, what's the answer? What?" Cen Li looked at Zhu Yixuan dissatisfied.
Zhu Yixuan stood up and explained to Cen Li with a look of remorse, "Mingzhu is talking about the outer room that I, Shen, once raised outside. If a man is not romantic, he will waste his youth. Those are the wrong things he did when he was young and ignorant. , I had already sent away Ke’s mother and son, and then married Mingzhu. Now I don’t know where Ke’s mother and son are, but Mingzhu has been clinging to this matter. If I had known that she would mind so much, I would not have raised her in the first place. "
After listening carefully, Cen Li didn't think there was anything wrong with Zhu Yixuan. After all, it was normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. The Zhu family was rich, so it was okay to have some concubines, not to mention that the extra room was real. I accepted it before marrying Cen Mingzhu, and there is nothing to say about it.
"Mingzhu, don't mess around!" Cen Li looked at Chen Cen Mingzhu seriously.
Cen Mingzhu became more and more angry, "You all didn't help me! If he didn't have that outer room in his heart, why did he go to the yard where the outer room lived and stayed there for most of the day."
Zhu Yixuan's eyes narrowed dangerously Narrowing his eyes, he realized that Cen Mingzhu was following him, and his expression became a lot colder, "Although the Ke family has lived in that courtyard, it is also the property of my Zhu family. I just wanted to deal with some family property in the house. How come it became mine?" Stayed in that courtyard for most of the day?
In fact, during that time, I went to more than one other courtyard. Madam was suspicious, so I took care of all the extra ones. Shouldn't you feel more at ease? "
Cen Li nodded in agreement.
Cen Mingzhu jumped angrily, "Okay! Since you said you don't care about the outer room, why are you still hiding her whereabouts from me? It's obvious that there is something wrong in your heart!"

Zhu Yixuan laughed angrily, "I already told you that I sent away their mother and son. They left before I returned home. I don't care, and naturally I won't let people keep an eye on their whereabouts. You ask me, Who should I ask? My mother’s body is still cold, and I don’t have any extra energy to care about those unimportant people, but you want to make trouble, what can I do?”
