Chapter 805 Chapter 807 [Hearing his wife imprisoned]
“Why is Mr. Lu here? What should we do?” Hu Suhua trembled in fright when she heard this.
"Don''t worry, I''ll go take a look." Xiang Nan immediately went out to greet him, "Oh, Mr. Lu, why are you here?"
Hu Suhua put her ear against the window and listened curiously to what was going on in the courtyard.
"The prince is in a hurry to use the jade belt, so he asked me to hurry him up." Lu Zhengming explained, "His Majesty, please quickly bring the jade belt and follow me to see the prince."
"Huh?!" Hu Suhua''s heart jumped as soon as she heard this.
????????????????????????????The jade belt was lost, and she didn''t know how to explain it. Unexpectedly, Lu Zhengming came to urge him.
"Master Lu, come in and talk." Xiang Nan''s expression changed and he pulled Lu Zhengming into the room.
"What''s going on? Why is the house so messy? Are you rummaging around and catching mice?" Lu Zhengming said with a smile.
“Oh, Mr. Lu, it’s a disaster. That jade belt is gone!” Xiang Nan stamped his feet, “We have been looking for it for a long time, but we can’t find it.”
"Ah?!" Lu Zhengming also looked shocked, "Xi Langzhong, this is no joke! Is the jade belt really missing?"
“Master Lu, I am not kidding, I really can’t find the jade belt.” Hu Suhua said quickly.
"Oh, this...this...what if the prince knows about this?" Lu Zhengming also panicked, "It would be even worse if the emperor knew about it."
“Master Lu, for the sake of saving your life before, you have to help me come up with an idea.” Xiang Nan cupped his hands and said.
“Yes, Mr. Lu, our old man saved you back then.” Hu Suhua also said quickly, “You can’t ignore him.”
"Sister-in-law, I, Lu Zhengming, am not the kind of ungrateful person. I will definitely take care of the affairs of my husband." Lu Zhengming explained, "But this matter is very difficult. This jade belt was given to Prince Jing by the emperor. If it is lost, it will be a crime of deceiving the emperor, and the whole family will be executed. It is not a joke. "
"Behead?!" Hu Suhua was so frightened that she almost fainted, "What should I do, Mr. Lu? Please help me come up with an idea."
"You can''t hide this matter. I suggest you tell Prince Jing and let him think of a way." Lu Zhengming thought for a while and suggested, "Xi Langzhong saved Gege''s life. I think the prince will show mercy outside the law." "
"Okay. It''s a blessing, not a curse. It''s a curse that cannot be avoided." Xiang Nan nodded, "I lost the jade belt that the prince gave me. I deserve death. I will go and plead guilty to the prince in person."
"Old man..." Hu Suhua burst into tears when she heard this.
…
Xiang Nan and Lu Zhengming immediately went to Prince Jing’s Mansion and reported the matter to Prince Jing.
When Prince Jing heard that the emperor''s jade belt had been lost, he was furious and immediately ordered Xiang Nan to be imprisoned in Prince Jing''s Mansion.
When the news came, Hu Suhua fainted on the spot.
Defu and his fellow juniors quickly pinched her and gave her some decoction and medicine before rescuing her.
"Master Lu, why is the prince so cruel? Our old man saved Gege''s life, why doesn''t he miss his old kindness at all?" Hu Suhua cried, "My old man, our good days have just begun, why did you show up? It''s such a big deal. I didn''t agree with you coming to the capital at first, but now it''s okay..."
"Sister-in-law, don''t cry. The prince has no choice but to do it." Lu Zhengming said quickly, "That jade belt is a gift from the emperor. If you lose it, even Prince Jing, as a prince, will be in danger of his life. Although the happy man is indeed Saved Gege’s life, but the law is so strict that even the prince has to be afraid.”
“Mr. Lu, what should our old man do?” Hu Suhua cried, “If he dies, I won’t be able to survive.”
"Sister-in-law, please don''t let your imagination run wild. The prince doesn''t want to do anything wrong. After all, Xi Langzhong saved Princess''s life, so he also wants Xi Langzhong to leave a descendant." Lu Zhengming hurriedly advised, "Hurry up and prepare. , when the time comes, you should live if you are pregnant with Xi Langzhong’s child.”
?In ancient times, if a condemned prisoner had no heirs, before his death, the government would often be more generous and allow his wife to be imprisoned so that she could become pregnant, which was called "allowing his wife to be imprisoned".
Hu Suhua was stunned and nodded quickly.???…
Subsequently, Hu Suhua was taken to the palace and met Xiang Nan who was imprisoned.
"Old man, you have suffered." Hu Suhua couldn''t help crying as soon as she saw him.
I saw Xiang Nan being locked in an empty room. There was almost nothing in it except a table and a bed.
"Madam, what are you here for?" Xiang Nan asked in surprise, "Isn''t it enough to kill me alone? Do I have to involve you as well?"
"No, the prince knows that you have no heirs, so he specially let me in to help you carry on the family lineage." Hu Suhua said quickly.
"Isn''t that a waste of time? If you could give birth, we wouldn''t have given birth long ago." Upon hearing this, Xiang Nan stamped his feet and cursed.
"You..." Hu Suhua felt ashamed and angry when she heard this.
In normal times, she would have to be brutal. But now she saw that Xiang Nan had only been imprisoned for two days, and his hair was messed up, his face was gray, and his eye circles were red. It looked like he had suffered a lot, and she couldn''t get angry at him.
"What should we do? How about I...I go and help you...buy...a yellow girl?" Hu Suhua said with trembling lips.
In fact, besides the wife, other people can also be arranged to be imprisoned. Like a prisoner without a wife, his family will often buy a young girl and send him in.
"I don''t want it." Xiang Nan shook his head.
“What do you want?” Hu Suhua asked quickly.
"I...I want...the boss lady whose food is the most important thing." Xiang Nan hesitated.
"Why can''t you forget her?!" Hu Suhua immediately said angrily, "What''s so good about her that you like her so much?"
Xiang Nan sighed, "If you don''t agree, forget it. Maybe I, Xilaile, are destined to die without a child."
Hu Suhua froze when she heard what he said.
There are three types of unfilial piety, the greatest of which is not having offspring. It was so sad for him to die without a child.
"That...this...okay." Hu Suhua gritted her teeth and said, "I agree, don''t you agree?"
“Madam still feels sorry for me.” Xiang Nan said with emotion.
"It''s good if you know." Hu Suhua glared at him and said, "But it''s useless if I agree. It depends on whether others agree."
“Yes.” Xiang Nan nodded.
…
After Hu Suhua returned, she planned to send Defu back to Cangzhou to invite Xi Shi.
"Sister-in-law, leave this matter to me." Upon hearing this, Lu Zhengming took the initiative and said, "Xi Langzhong is my savior. I regret not helping him. This time, even if I try my best ”
"Yes." Hu Suhua nodded, "Master Lu, when you get there, talk to Boss Sai carefully and ask her to agree. We old men can''t have no heirs."
“Hey.” Lu Zhengming nodded.
