The Savior is just a 3-Year-Old-Chapter 1015 - 1016: His Majesty’s Brother-in-law (1)

Chapter 1016: His Majesty’s Brother-in-law (1)

The Zheng Family relied on the Virtuous King. Now that His Majesty was powerful, the Virtuous King was weak.

All the officials were guessing when His Majesty would attack the old subordinates of the Virtuous King.

No matter how many guesses he made, he still couldn’t guess the reason for the final attack.

It was actually…

Zheng Wangshu married a concubine.

“What a prodigal. His mother, Bai Ling, who had taken in a concubine, was sentenced to death, and he was stripped of his official position. In the future, he will have no fate with the officialdom and will become an abandoned son of the Zheng family.”

“I heard that Elder Zheng knew about this and knelt outside the main hall for an entire night.”

“That’s why His Majesty didn’t pursue the Zheng family’s responsibility.”

“However, this morning, Elder Zheng sent a memorial. I want to retire and go home to enjoy my life.” freeweɓnøvel.com

“Hey, are there still clansmen of the Zheng family serving as officials in the court?”

“Elder Zheng has a total of two sons and one daughter. His eldest son, Lord Zheng, had his ear cut off by His Majesty, and his only eldest grandson had his official rank cut off. The second branch had a fourth-grade official position and was now the Imperial College’s Chancellor. It might be enough for others, but the Zheng family will fall from a top-notch family to a second-rate or third-rate family.” The officials discussed in low voices.

Who would have thought that the Zheng family would fall from a top aristocratic family just by taking in a concubine?

He directly fell off the altar.

The Zheng Clan’s legend was shattered.

The eldest son of the Zheng family had many students, but he did not expect to not teach his grandchildren well, causing the Zheng family to fall rapidly.

Everyone sighed.

But no one knew that even so, the Emperor’s anger was still unabated.

During court, when everyone presented their reports, any random mistake could give an official a beating.

Everyone was trembling in fear, and no one dared to make a sound.

Until the next court session, everyone was like quails with their tails between their legs.

Lord Yang sighed. His wife was a member of the Zheng family, the third daughter of Lord Zheng.

Now, the Zheng family had fallen from a top-notch aristocratic family. His sister-in-law had been sentenced to death, and his nephew had been deprived of his official rank. His wife was extremely worried.

However, he did not dare to say anything.

All of His Majesty’s patience and kindness had been given to that little girl from the Jiang family.

“Lord Xia, your niece will reach adulthood in half a year, right?” Lord Yang asked softly.

Sir Xia glanced at him and nodded his head inaudibly.

Lord Yang patted him heavily on the shoulder. Many things could no longer be said.

His Majesty’s thoughts, Sima Zhao’s intentions, everyone knew.

However, no one dared to pierce through this veil.

When Jiang Huaian returned from court, it was already night time.

Madam Xia smiled. ” These are the red eggs sent by the Duke’s estate. Eat two of them to make yourself happy. Go and get rid of your bad luck. ” No one mentioned the Zheng family.

After eating, the family sat in the side hall and drank tea.

Jiang Huaian hesitated for a moment before saying,”Mother, don’t be angry.” Zheng Wangshu was deprived of his fame and his mother was ordered to die. He lost his mind after a great blow and is now a fool.”

Actually, Jiang Huaian understood.

If he wasn’t stupid, he would wait for Lord Zheng to remarry. Giving birth to a stepson was his death date.

His Majesty had dealt a heavy blow to the Zheng family, so he naturally would not let the Zheng family’s eldest son die at this time.

But as long as Lord Zheng’s stepson lived, Zheng Wangshu would die.

It was just to appease the Zheng family’s chief branch for a moment.

Now that he had become a fool, he had escaped disaster.

“Mother, have you ever thought…” Jiang Huai ‘an paused for a moment. Seeing his sister yawn, he entered the bedroom without much care.

“Mother, His Majesty wants to talk to me.” He lowered his voice and asked.

Jiang Huaian’s expression changed when he recalled the conversation with His Majesty…

It was a little exciting.

How should he put it?

The moment he entered the royal study, the Emperor dismissed the palace servants.

Then, she called him brother-in-law.

He was so frightened that he went limp and sat on the ground.
