BHBF Chapter 78.3

Boss, He’s Becoming a Father (Arc 4) Chapter 78.3: Playful Son (30)

But he did not say what would happen if it was not exile but execution.

Xiao Han shook her head vigorously and held Shao Jiashan tightly, not wanting him to go.

At this moment, Shao Jiashu no longer had any grudges against her elder brother. She just rushed to say, “A son should pay back a mother’s debt. You are not my mother’s child. I am her child. If anyone is going, I should be the one to go.”

Shao Jialiang also scrambled to go.

Shao Yu looked at the children rushing to the front, sighed, and said, “The reason why this family has become like this is because of my wife’s fault and mine as well.”

Everyone present was stunned. They didn’t understand why Shao Yu suddenly said this.

Shao Yu continued, “Since it was my name card that was given in the first place, it is natural that I should bear all the responsibility now.”

Everyone looked at Shao Yu in disbelief at this moment.

Shao Jialiang said directly: “Father, you can’t do this!”

“I am the head of the family, so why not?” Shao Yu said.

“But if I go to see the official, you will be implicated and demoted. Now you go and confess your guilt yourself, what will be the consequences?” Xiao Han couldn’t help asking.

Shao Yu said, “This matter is entirely determined by the Emperor.”

If Shao Yu is involved in this case, it must be reported to the emperor, and only the emperor can decide whether Shao Yu will stay or go.

Shao Yu is now the pillar of the family. Once he falls, no one will have a good future. This result is far more terrible than Xiao Han going to see the officials.

“Since we are seeing the official, the culprit should go.” Xiao Han said.

If she met the official, the children could still live well.

If Shao Yu pleaded guilty and was exiled or beheaded, the Shao family would be finished.

Although she thought clearly, Shao Yu’s attitude was very firm.

“As the head of the family, shouldn’t I stand up at the critical moment? Besides, husband and wife are one, so what you do is what I do.” Shao Yu said this with an open-minded look on his face.

But everyone in the Shao family stopped him.

But how could these people stop him, the head of the family?

Shao Yu just asked someone to watch over the yard and not allow them to go out, and then he went out.

As soon as she saw Shao Yu leave, Xiao Han collapsed to the ground. She cried and asked, “Why did your father have to go to see the official?”

Shao Jialiang said: “My father has always been a straight-forward person, and he probably thought in his heart that it was because of his momentary carelessness that my mother made such a big mistake.”

“I did all this behind his back. What does it have to do with him…” Xiao Han murmured.

“In my father’s heart, he and my mother are one and the same, and they should take responsibility for each other,” said Shao Jialiang.

Xiao Han couldn’t stop crying. She married Shao Yu because she wanted to be the mother of the queen at first, but her husband’s love for her after marriage was real. There were several officials in the capital who did not take concubines, but Shao Yu could resist. She was not a plant, so it was natural for her to develop feelings for Shao Yu.

Now, seeing that her husband is going to ruin his future because of her, and even her children will be implicated, she was filled with pain.

“I…I’m going to kill your father…”

Shao Jialiang hurried to comfort her, but it didn’t help much. Xiao Han still cried and almost fainted several times.

Shao Yu left Shao Mansion and went straight to Jingzhao Prefecture.

When Jingzhao Prefecture received the case file sent from the Dali Temple, it found it extremely difficult to handle. He couldn’t even understand why the case was sent from the Dali Temple.

After all, there is an extra letter in the case files that have been transferred over now, a letter from the Taiming County Magistrate to the Shao family.

The letter was full of flattery, but it also made clear the disputes and decisions between the Sun and Wang families.

Shao Yu was the Minister of Dali Temple. It was not an exaggeration to say that this letter was a self-explosion since it could be transferred from Dali Temple.

The prefect of Jingzhao couldn’t figure out why Shao Yu was going crazy, but he couldn’t let him go on like this. He just thought it was a wrong delivery and immediately asked someone to return it to Dali Temple.

But before his men went out, Shao Yu came.

“Master Shao, you are here to pursue this case file, right?” asked the prefect of Jingzhao.

Shao Yu shook his head.

The Jingzhao prefect asked again, “Are you here to destroy this case file?”

The prefect of Jingzhao was actually happy to let Shao Yu destroy the case file at this time. After all, he had no grudge against Shao Yu. If Shao Yu really did such a thing, it would be equivalent to him having a handle on Shao Yu, which would be beneficial to him.

“I’m here to plead guilty.” Shao Yu said.

The prefect of Jingzhao looked at him in surprise.

The prefect of Jingzhao was afraid of trouble. He felt that this case was bound to be very troublesome, and he was afraid that his few remaining hairs would fall out again.

“Mater Shao, why do you have to do this? If you really feel that you owe that family, you might as well give them more compensation.” said the prefect of Jingzhao.

Shao Yu said: “Compensation must be given, and the guilt must be acknowledged.”

Seeing that he was so persistent, the prefect of Jingzhao thought for a moment and said, “Master Shao, please wait here. I will go to the palace first.”

Although the Dali Temple Minister is of the third rank, and sounds as powerful as the first or second rank officials, he is the head of the Dali Temple and an important official in the court.

The Jingzhao prefect was at the same level as the Dali Temple. Although the case had jurisdiction over it, he was not necessarily qualified to interrogate Shao Yu.

The prefect of Jingzhao hurried into the palace with the case file to ask for a meeting.

The emperor was now over sixty years old, but he still looked vigorous and energetic. The prefect of Jingzhao did not have to wait too long before he was summoned by the emperor.

The prefect of Jingzhao explained the incident.

He knew that although the emperor was very old, he was not easy to fool, so he had no intention of hiding anything and told him the whole story.
