HCB Chapter 235: Musinian is executed
Chapter 235: Musinian is executed
Jun Han waved his hands hurriedly, "Old Madam, please don't be polite... I came here today to give you elders an explanation about the marriage... I know that it is a bit abrupt to bring this up... But, Miss Yuan and I are in love with each other, so please support us..."
When everyone heard this, they all laughed.
I thought to myself that His Royal Highness Prince Yu was really interesting.
This marriage was granted by His Majesty. If they don't go along with it, wouldn't that be disobeying His Majesty's order?
Old Madam Gu also felt comforted when she looked at the young man.
She was naturally happy that her granddaughter could find a good home.
"This marriage is a mutual one. If we, as elders, don't make it happen, wouldn't it be too inhumane? However, Ying'er's father and brother are far away in Huaiyang. If the wedding date is set, we have to inform them in advance..."
Although Jun Han appeared calm and composed on the surface, he was actually so nervous that his palms were sweating.
After hearing what the old lady said, the stone in his heart finally fell, "Old lady, the wedding date has to be selected by the Imperial Observatory. There is no need to rush for the time being. After all, it takes time to prepare for the wedding. What's more, the wedding date of the emperor's uncle and Miss Mu is coming soon, so my marriage with Miss Yuan can only be postponed."
Mu Qingyan was secretly eating melons, but she didn't expect that the melon would fall on her own head.
The old lady looked at her and smiled even more, "Yes! It is a double blessing for our Gu family!"
For a while, there was laughter and joy in the flower hall.
Mu Qingyan and Yuan Ying's faces turned red at the same time.
They looked at each other, held hands and ran out together. This childish shyness amused everyone.
The excitement inside continues.
Yuan Ying and Mu Qingyan ran to the garden, stopped, looked at each other's flushed faces, and laughed out loud.
Yuan Ying couldn't help but complain, "Sister Yan, you're really tight-lipped! You knew his identity, but you refused to tell me a word. I was so sad when I received the imperial edict... Later, I ran to Prince Ling's mansion to look for him without caring about my girlish modesty, and even chased him all the way to the city gate... It's so embarrassing..."
Mu Qingyan smiled, "Why are you embarrassed? Men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough!"
Yuan Ying also pinched her face, "If that's the case, why were you blushing just now?"
Mu Qingyan was outmaneuvered and had no words to respond for a moment, so she could only choose to remain silent.
However, she still had one thing to do and almost forgot!
In the Fuguo Mansion, Mu Sinian has been bedridden for a long time. Because no one is taking care of him, his injuries are recovering very slowly.
However, no matter how slow it is, it's okay.
But the moment he got out of bed and walked out of the room, he saw officials from the Ministry of Justice.
"According to the order, arrest the remaining followers of King Chong!"
Thus, the Duke was put into heavy shackles and taken away in public.
The Duke’s Mansion was sealed.
Muslim's crimes were quickly tried.
He privately sided with Prince Chong and colluded with the Grand Princess. All the facts about him lying about military intelligence, claiming military merits, and framing Gu Qingqi's infidelity in order to silence the Gu family were uncovered.
Everyone sympathized with Gu Qingyun, who had been dead for nearly twenty years. They also learned that Gu had given birth to twins, a boy and a girl.
The father of this pair of twins is the young master of the Xiaoyao Sect, who is well-known in the martial arts world!
Everyone sympathized with Gu Qingqi and accused Mu Sinian of being shameless. In order to cover up his crime, he even framed his fiancée. This was a shame for all men in the world.
On the day when Mu Sinian was escorted to the execution ground, the people threw rotten eggs, feces and rotten vegetable leaves at him along the way, making him stink. He suffered the humiliation and abuse that he had never experienced in his decades of life.
Mu Qingyan looked at him kneeling on the execution platform, with his head lowered, not saying a word.
He never raised his head until his head fell to the ground.
Before he died, he must have regretted it! He regretted that he had falsely claimed military merit for his own selfish desires.
His life became a joke after he told that lie.
He was a young man in Kyoto who was in the prime of his life. He came from a noble family and had a status and glory that an ordinary person could never achieve in his entire life.
But unfortunately, this glory was turned into shame by his own hands.
After watching her head fall to the ground, Mu Qingyan went to the small courtyard she had bought.
Now, it has become the residence of Aunt Qin and several illegitimate children in the mansion.
Before preparing to deal with Mu Sinian, she went to Emperor Jianning to plead for mercy.
His crime was not committed by his wife and children. They did not enjoy much of the glory that Musnian had during his lifetime. It did not make sense for him to make all of them atone for his mistakes after he made them.
"In the future, if you want, you can send your children to school. Under the influence of Musinian, it is not easy to keep your life and safety, and it is difficult to enter the government. However, if you read more books, it will be much easier to find a way out in the future."
The concubines were tired of the intrigues in the rich families, and they had suffered greatly from them. Now they were grateful for the stable days they could live.
"Thank you, young lady, for planning everything for us... If the school needs sewing, cleaning or cooking, we can do it. We don't need to be paid, just get the food..." As soon as Aunt Qin said this, she was immediately affirmed by the other aunts.
Mu Qingyan smiled, "You should ask Ah Yu about this. She is the one who is concerned about all these things. However, she is busy getting married now, so I am afraid she has no time to think about other things. We will talk about it later... If there is anything missing at home, just tell me and I will buy it for you."
Logically speaking, it was she who destroyed their originally carefree life, and they should hate her.
But none of them did.
It was just because her mother had taken good care of them when she was in the mansion. They were originally daughters of a good family, but because their family fell into poverty, they had to become concubines.
Gu treated them very well and never treated them harshly.
Even if she herself was walking on thin ice, she would do her best to take care of them...
Good deeds will bring good results, Mu Qingyan has always believed in this saying.
After Mu Sinian was executed, Gu Qingrong and Gu Qingmao also went to Beijing, escorting Mu Ruge and Mu Xinshang.
Mu Ruge was once again imprisoned in the Dali Temple, but this time, she could never escape.
On the way back, she had learned that Prince Yong was defeated and killed, and Prince Chong was also sentenced to death. All her pride and beliefs collapsed in an instant.
She once again stepped into this prosperous imperial city as a death row prisoner.
Everything here has nothing to do with her anymore...
