- The people in the capital were really excited for several days because of the great results achieved in the Northern Xinjiang war. However, this excitement did not last long and was suppressed because the Ministry of Punishment arrested the members of the Eight Kings on a large scale.
Zhou Mansion.
Zhou Jingyun thought that her mother had not thought about food and tea recently, so she personally cooked two snacks and sent them to her. As soon as she walked to the door, she heard her mother's suppressed crying.
"I heard that the Ministry of Punishment has tortured several officials to death because of interrogations I am a weak scholar The torture instruments of the Ministry of Punishment are so powerful, how can I stand it But our family You can't even get close to the door of the Criminal Department"
After listening to the intermittent words in the room, Zhou Jingyun's face turned pale instantly. She was silent for a while, then ran out of the yard with her skirt in hand.
"Jingwan, please help me."
As soon as Zhou Jingyun entered Zhou Jingwan's house, she made a gesture of kneeling down.
Zhou Jingwan was startled when she saw him, and quickly held him up: "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
Zhou Jingyun quickly told Zhou Jingwan what she had just heard: "Jingwan, the eldest son of the Minister of Justice's family and Peng Mingchi, who is engaged to you, are close friends. I will accompany you to find Peng Mingchi and ask him to help talk and let me go to the Ministry of Justice to see Can you look after your father? My father has been in jail for more than two months, and I am really worried about him."
Zhou Jingwan looked embarrassed. Her family had not consulted her at all about the marriage that had been decided for her. By the time she found out, the Peng family had already made the decision.
Later, with the help of her family, she met Peng Mingchi twice, but she and he really couldn't agree to go together. Then something happened to her second uncle, and her mother and second aunt took her to Peng's house. I still remember Mrs. Peng¡¯s cold and distant attitude.
"Jingyun, even if I beg Peng Mingchi, he may not agree."
Zhou Jingyun shook her head: "No, something happened to our family for so long, but the Peng family never came to cancel the engagement, which shows that he likes you."
Zhou Jingwan smiled bitterly: "The reason why the Peng family doesn't cancel the engagement is because of me. It's because the Minister of the Ministry of Industry is a student of my grandfather. Their family doesn't cancel the engagement now because they don't want to bear the reputation of being treacherous."
Zhou Jingyun said anxiously: "No matter what, you and Peng Mingchi are engaged now. If you go to find him, he will probably disappear."
Looking at her tearful sister and thinking of her second uncle and second aunt's concern for her, Zhou Jingwan felt soft and nodded: "Okay, I'll go with you."
Hearing this, Zhou Jingyun immediately smiled with joy: "Jingwan, thank you."
As soon as Zhou Jingwan and Zhou Jingyun left in the carriage, a group of guards came over and surrounded the Zhou Mansion: "The Emperor has an order. From now on, the Zhou family is only allowed to enter but not to leave."
?¡
Zhou Jingyun grew up in the capital and had his own way of collecting information. Soon, he found out that Peng Mingchi was attending a poetry meeting at Yunhe Tower.
"Jingwan, let's go there quickly."
At the same time, on the second floor of Yunhe Tower, Peng Mingchi and several young ladies were playing a poem-reciting game in the winding water.
The young master and the young lady were divided into two places, with a screen in the middle. Everyone sat beside the winding canal. They placed wine glasses on the canal and let them flow down the river. Whoever stopped in front of the wine glass would compose a poem. Then let everyone comment.
When Zhou Jingyun brought Zhou Jingwan here, the atmosphere here was at its climax.
There is no other reason. Someone has made a masterpiece, and everyone is vying to applaud it.
"Master Peng is really a rare genius. I must copy the poem just now and appreciate it." Du Qing, from the general family, was not stingy in his praise.
In response to this, Peng Mingchi just smiled and had no other reaction. Just when he put the wine glass in the ditch and prepared for the next round, his eyes swept over Zhou Jingwan and Zhou Jingyun who were coming out of the building.
Peng Mingchi felt happy and was about to get up and go over, but then he thought of his parents and brother¡¯s instructions before going out. He hesitated and sat back down again.
He actually likes Zhou Jingwan, a girl who always likes to be in a daze. Although this girl has no ink in her belly and her appearance is not the best among the ladies in the capital, he is very relaxed and comfortable when he is with her.
Isn¡¯t home a place where people can put down all their armor and masks after being tired?
He felt that Zhou Jingwan could give him such a home.
He originally thought that he would be able to get married to Zhou Jingwan this year, but unexpectedly, Mr. Zhou was involved in the case of the Eight Kings' henchmen.
He had just learned from his friends that the Zhou Mansion was now surrounded by guards.
Although he didn¡¯t know how the Zhou sisters came out, he knew their purpose of coming to him.
Although he wanted to help, he was powerless.
In addition to the special nature of the case of the Eight Kings' gang members, his father and brother have repeatedly warned him that if he gets involved too much with the Zhou family, their family might also be involved, and he has to be responsible for his family!
Peng Mingchi forced himself not to look at the two figures coming out of the building. However, he didn't look at them, but Zhou Jingwan summoned up the courage to walk over at Zhou Jingyun's plea.
Just when Peng Mingchi saw Zhou Jingwan's figure getting closer and closer from the corner of his eye, suddenly, a pink figure blocked his sight.
"Miss Zhou, why are you here?"
Du Qing looked at Zhou Jingwan with an arrogant expression.
Zhou Jingwan glanced at her: "I'm here to see Mr. Peng, please give way."
Du Qing looked back at Peng Mingchi, who was sitting motionless, smiled sweetly, and said to Zhou Jingwan in a low voice: "Miss Zhou, you have to be a bit discerning. Don't you see that Mr. Peng doesn't want to see you?"
Zhou Jingwan also noticed Peng Mingchi's reaction. She couldn't explain how she felt. She could say she was sad because she had no feelings for this person. She had no expectations for him since they got engaged. She couldn't say she was sad because he was her fianc¨¦. Now that the Zhou family is in trouble, he is so indifferent, so indifferent!
Zhou Jingwan looked back at her cousin who was about to cry, took a deep breath, and shamelessly walked away from Du Qing and walked towards Peng Mingchi.
Who would have thought that Du Qing stopped her after taking just two steps.
Zhou Jingwan frowned: "Miss Du, what are you doing?"
Du Qing: "I have invited everyone to this poetry meeting today. I don't want to see some unscrupulous people come and disturb everyone's enjoyment. Please leave."
"Du Qing, don't go too far!"
Zhou Jingyun came over and looked at Du Qing angrily.
Du Qing sneered, then rolled her eyes and took the jug on the side: "You have to have a ticket to attend the banquet. You can't come to my poetry party empty-handed. In this way, as long as you bring this jug of wine After drinking, I will get out of the way and let you go see Mr. Peng." As he said that, he handed the wine bottle in his hand to Zhou Jingwan.
Seeing Zhou Jingwan standing still, Du Qing smiled provocatively: "What, you don't dare?"
At this time, everyone else present began to boo.
Peng Mingchi couldn¡¯t stand it and wanted to get up to stop him, but was stopped by his friend next to him.
"Do you really want to marry a daughter of the Zhou family? You should know the emperor's hatred for the Eight Kings' gang members. The Zhou family is finished. Listen to me and leave them alone. Let Miss Du drive them away. If you show some softness, they will He clings to you like a life-saving straw, and when the time comes, you can¡¯t get rid of him even if you want to.¡±
After hearing this, Peng Mingchi half-rised and sat back down.
On the other side, Du Qing saw Peng Mingchi's hesitation and frowned.
She has always admired Peng Mingchi, but before she could express her feelings, the Peng family and the Zhou family were engaged.
She knew that Peng Mingchi didn¡¯t like aggressive girls, so she pondered for a moment, glanced at Zuo Meng from the Dali Temple Shaoqing¡¯s family, and signaled her to help her.
Zuo Meng received the help-seeking look from his friend, and immediately walked over with several other girls. He looked at Zhou Jingwan somewhat aggressively: "Why, you don't dare to drink? Isn't your attitude good for asking someone to do something?"
Several other people immediately shouted: "Yes, it's just a bottle of wine. Miss Zhou should drink it quickly."
One of them took the wine bottle and poured it directly into Zhou Jingwan¡¯s mouth.
Zhou Jingwan naturally didn't want to drink, but there was only Zhou Jingyun beside her and she couldn't stop her at all, so she could only keep moving back.
Several girls pushed each other and came to the fence unknowingly.
"ah!"
"Jingwan!"
I don¡¯t know who pushed Zhou Jingwan. Zhou Jingwan hit the fence and fell backwards.
This scene scared everyone!
The moment Zhou Jingwan fell from the second floor, her entire mind went blank. Looking at the people retreating on the second floor, she closed her eyes in despair.
Just when everyone thought Zhou Jingwan was going to die, suddenly, a figure flashed over quickly and caught Zhou Jingwan before she fell to the ground.
"Sister Zhou!"
The expected pain did not come. Instead, she heard the long-lost voice of Brother Yan San. Zhou Jingwan thought it was an illusion, but she couldn't help but have extravagant hopes.
If the third brother were here, no one would bully her.
Zhou Jingwan opened her eyes carefully. When Yan Wentao's anxious and worried face came into view, her eyes instantly turned red. She cried out with surprise and grievance: "Third brother, you came to see me?!" (Remember this site) Website: www.hlnovel.com)Website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
