Chapter 381 Chapter 382: Let him come to Beijing to plead guilty

   "Thank you, Empress Dowager." Concubine Shu took her seat, and then said bluntly, "This concubine is here to ask the Empress Dowager about the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet."

  The Empress Dowager frowned slightly, "There are practices in the palace, follow the rules."

  The smile on Concubine Shu's face paused, thinking that it's no wonder the emperor was not close to the queen mother, and it would be hard for her to meet such a mother-in-law.

Thinking about it this way, Concubine Shu's tone became a bit subtle, and she tried to slow down her emotions and said slowly, "Empress Dowager, the emperor is currently on a tour of the north, working hard for the country and the people, and cannot share the suffering with the emperor, but this concubine in charge can't do it either." When the emperor is working hard outside, the concubines can still hold banquets and enjoy themselves in the palace, so I want to ask the empress dowager to show me that the Mid-Autumn Palace banquet will not be held, and I will only hold a family banquet to pray for the emperor, what do you think?"

  Empress Dowager: …

  I felt a little pain on my face.

An Shutong didn't expect that Concubine Shu came here for this, and she was a little dazed for a while, yes, the emperor is away, how can it be easy to have a banquet in the palace? Be angered.

"It's rare that you have such intentions. The emperor will be happy when he finds out, so let's do it this way." The queen mother responded with a face of relief, but she was a little angry in her heart. Even if Concubine Shu's tone was calm, she I also heard a bit of blame.

   Now Concubine Shu has improved, and she actually came to her to show off.

  The queen mother was wronged this time, so she had to grit her teeth and swallow.

   Concubine Shu came out of Shouci Palace in a good mood, remembering the empress dowager's suppressed expression just now, she was really refreshed.

  The news that the mid-autumn palace feast will no longer invite married women into the palace is no longer surprising to everyone, but the fact that Concubine Shu visited the Queen Mother that day was still faintly spread.

  Song·Do good deeds without leaving a name·Yun Zhao smiled and said thank you.

  With the relationship between her and the queen mother, there is no need to pretend to be harmonious. Anyway, the queen mother is not good for her.

  The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Ling Yunhe returned to Beijing, knowing that Xie Jinshu had come to look for him, so he went to Xie's house overnight.

  Xie Jinshu was about to take a rest. When he heard that Ling Yunhe was coming, he invited him in. Seeing his vicissitudes, he was startled, "What are you doing, why are you in such a mess?"

  He came over without cleaning up, I really didn’t treat him as an outsider.

  Ling Yunhe reached out and rubbed his face vigorously, "I went back to Ling's house."

  Xie Jinshu's expression became serious when he heard the words, he looked at Ling Yunhe, "Did you... discover something?"

  He said this, but he thought in his heart that Concubine Ming is really powerful. It seems that what she told him before should be true, otherwise Ling Yunhe couldn't be like this.

  Ling Yunhe looked up at Xie Jinshu, "Before leaving Beijing, I sent someone to send an account book to the empress in the palace."

  Xie Jinshu's heart skipped a beat, sure enough.

   "Looking at you now, you should know, right?" Ling Yunhe took a deep breath, he bet right!

  Xie Jinshu frowned and looked at Ling Yunhe, "You and I have been friends for many years, this time you are not acting properly, since you have encountered something, why didn't you tell me?"

   He didn't know until Concubine Ming delivered the letter. Fortunately, Concubine Ming believed him, otherwise he would be implicated.

   "Jin Shu, I just have doubts about this matter, I haven't confirmed it yet, how do you want me to tell you?" Ling Yunhe looked bitter, even he didn't expect that the family would deceive him like this.

  Xie Jinshu's heart sank slightly, "Then you must have found out when you came back this time?"

  Ling Yunhe nodded after a while, "It was the third uncle in the family who was bribed, and that's why the trouble happened."

Xie Jinshu sneered, "I reminded you a long time ago that although this business didn't make much profit at the beginning, but with the golden signboard of Baozhuang Building, the Ling family will make money in the future. It is precisely because this golden signboard is so eye-catching , to make you act cautiously, how did you tell me back then?"

  Ling Yunhe sighed, "I'm sorry for you and my empress. I know that Uncle San has always been thoughtful, but I didn't expect him to be so courageous."

  Xie Jinshu was furious, suppressed his anger, and then said: "I don't have the face to plead for you in front of my mother about this matter. Whether you can pass this test depends on yourself."

Xie Jinshu knows that Ling Yunhe has always valued friendship, but if he insists on continuing, he will have to persuade the empress to cooperate with another person in this business, and treat him as ignorant of people and misled the empress. .

   "I know." Ling Yunhe was ashamed to his friend, "You and I have been friends for many years, I have already let you down this time, and I can no longer drag you into trouble."

  Xie Jinshu sighed when he heard him say this, "If you were willing to listen to me and divide up this piece of business, it wouldn't be like this."

  Like him, he separated the business in the capital from Xuanzhou at the beginning, and nothing happened when he cooperated with Concubine Ming. Now Xuanzhou don't dare to make trouble with him, even now they have to support him.

"It's not too late, this time I came back to Ling's house for this purpose." Ling Yunhe had nothing to hide from his friend, "My third uncle has always been cunning, and this time he has been caught, the evidence is solid and he can't quibble , the family opened the ancestral hall and presided over the Ling family's separation."

  Xie Jinshu:!

   "Separation is the end of the matter? What about the loss of the empress?" Xie Jinshu can't just let Sanye Ling go, because the loss of the empress must be made up for.

   "My third uncle was bribed to imitate the goods from Baozhuanglou in the shop, so the quantity of goods from Baozhuanglou is much less."

   "Imitation? I think Ling Sanye doesn't want to live anymore!"

   Whose is this?

  Ming Concubine's!

   Actually dared to imitate secretly, isn’t this a fake?

   **** him off.

Ling Yunhe's expression also became serious, "The family knows that the third uncle has caused a catastrophe, so the share of the property distributed to the third uncle is used to make up for the loss of the empress, and the Ling family promises to give 20% of the profit to the empress Ming in the next three years. "

  Xie Jinshu sneered, "The Ling family thought quite nicely. After something like this happened, do you think the empress will still hand over the business to your family?"

  Ling Yunhe nodded, "Yes, I also think there is little hope. I have already persuaded the clan, but the clan still wants to give it a try."

  Xie Jinshu stood up with a cold face, "The Ling family is really rich and powerful, you should go back and rest, I won't see you off."

   He is really angry, and the Ling family feels wronged by giving away 20% of the profit?

   Phew!

  Ling Yunhe didn't defend the Ling family, but looked at Xie Jinshu very seriously, "Jinshu, I'm sorry for you, this is why you got implicated. No matter how empress leaves the Ling family, I will admit it."

  Xie Jinshu looked at Ling Yunhe as if he were a fool, "You don't want to blame the Ling family, do you? Third Master Ling made a mistake, let him come to Beijing to confess."

  Ling Yunhe shook his head, "I know what to do, good brother, I will apologize to you later when the dust settles on my matter."

  Ling Yunhe left, but Xie Jinshu was still worried.

  He was really angry just now, but now he is really worried for Ling Yunhe.

   What is this called!

   It’s a new January and the kids are finally back to school, which is great news. But the last day of school is the weekend again, a day full of sorrow and joy.
