Chapter 81 Wealth is in vain
Xue Sui and Li Zhao had such a "good relationship", so they knew the court's trends in a more timely manner.
On the fifth day of April, after receiving the news from the East Palace, Xue Sui sent someone to Yao Mansion to deliver the message.
In the afternoon, Xue Yuelou led two little girls over.
In Lixiang Courtyard, tea has been brewed early, and the aroma is lingering.
Brother Ming seemed to be improving after a period of recuperation. He hadn't seen his mother for a long time, and his attachment to her was even stronger than before. His little face was full of joy. He was tugging on the corner of Xue Yuelou's clothes and refused to let go for a moment.
This surprised Xue Yuelou, and his eyes turned slightly red.
Xue Sui waited for his mother and son to be intimate, then asked Ruyi to take out the prepared "Heli Book" and hand it to Xue Yuelou solemnly.
"Today you will hand over this and Li Shu to the Yao Mansion."
Xue Yuelou was stunned, "Yao Mansion asked me to serve that sick man, I'm afraid he won't agree."
Xue Sui said: "It doesn't matter whether they agree or not. What matters is the attitude of the Xue family. I will accompany you to Shouanyuan later and ask my grandmother to come forward. Let her speak on the father's side."
After a pause, she smiled again.
"If the Yao family refuses to agree, just say that you will go to Jingzhao Yamen to file a complaint against them for abusing their daughter-in-law and killing their grandchildren. Don't forget, you have evidence in your hand that they engaged in fraud and manipulated the imperial examination. In recent weeks, The censor is worried about his nephew. Someone can help him with ironclad evidence..."
There are not a few folk women in this dynasty who seek to leave on their own, but they are rare among officials.
Xue Yuelou had never done such an unconventional thing. Listening to Xue Sui's methodical plan, he felt the blood surge all over his body, his cheeks turned red, and he was so nervous that he didn't know how to place his hands and feet.
"Would Grandma and Dad agree?"
"Maybe not before, but definitely this time." Xue Sui said with a smile.
Xue Yuelou lowered his head to drink tea and nodded uneasily.
"Okay, I'll listen to Sixth Sister."
Later, the two sisters went to Shouanyuan to pay their respects. When Mrs. Cui heard about the reconciliation, she looked hesitant.
The second uncle Yao is useless now and is lying on the hospital bed. It seems unkind to propose a divorce at this time. It will inevitably attract people's attention and make people say that the Xue family is cold.
Fortunately, the old lady has been particularly fond of Xue Sui recently, and everything goes according to her, so she should wait until the eldest master comes back to discuss it later.
As expected by Xue Sui, Xue Qingzhi also heard the news in the court. His Majesty wanted to take action on Yao Hong, the Minister of Internal Affairs...
With the support of her mother's family, Xue Yuelou returned to Yao Mansion that day and began to make a big divorce.
Naturally, the Yao family was unwilling in every possible way, so she followed Xue Sui's teachings, crying and seeking death. She even threatened to file a lawsuit and made the matter a big deal. The more people knew about it, the better.
Yao Hong had a secret in his heart and felt guilty about being a thief, so he finally nodded and agreed.
On the same day, Xue Yuelou took the seal signed by Yao's father and the divorce letter, went to the Yamen to have the seal stamped, and terminated the marriage agreement with Yao Wei. Then he packed up his belongings and went straight back to his parents' home.
After the third lady got the news, she immediately set up two banquets for Xue Yuelou in Lianshui Pavilion, saying she wanted to celebrate.
Recently, Xue Qingxiu's official career has gone smoothly, and Qian's face has also been filled with joy and pride.
"Good luck never enters the door of resentment. The two girls made a decisive decision and left the Yao family. From then on, everything goes well with the God of Wealth, and they are filled with joy, joy, and good fortune."
"Wait until Third Aunt goes back to look around and find you another good husband."
Xue Yuelou smiled happily.
Thinking back when Xue Sui said he would help her escape from the fiery pit of the Yao family, she had no hope. Unexpectedly, in just over a month, time had changed and everything was different, and she did it.
Xue Yuelou raised his cup with a sincere look on his face.
"Thank you, Sixth Sister, and Thank you, Third Aunt. It all depends on your carefulness in this matter."
Then he took a sip and smiled again.
"Right now, I am pointing out that Brother Ming's condition has improved. As long as my parents don't mind me being a drag, it would be best if I never marry again."
The third lady laughed.
"Never marry for the rest of your life, then your third aunt will support you."
Xue Yuelou smiled slightly, but he couldn't help but feel sad when he thought about it.
"Brother Ming is ill right now, and the Yao family won't come to fight. But his surname is Yao... Heli has made such an ugly quarrel. I'm afraid they won't let it go and will come to ask for a child..."
< br>
After hearing this, Mr. Qian put down the cup in his hand with a sad look on his face.
Although the children are born to the women, most of them cannot be brought back to their parents' families once they are divorced.
If something really breaks out, the Xue family may not be able to handle it.
The two of them gnashed their teeth when they talked about the Yao family.
Xue Sui smiled, picked up the teacup leisurely, blew the hot air gently, and took a sip gracefully, looking calm and composed.
"They have no chance to cause trouble."
The third lady and Xue Yuelou looked at her.
These six girls have some uncanny calculations, and their predictions are often very accurate.
Xue Sui didn't say much, he just said: "If you do unrighteousness, you will die. Just wait and see."
-
The next day, when the morning light first broke, the wind was warm and the sun was shining brightly.
After the divorce, Xue Yuelou seemed to be reborn, sweeping away the gloom of the past. He came to Lixiangyuan early in the morning and wanted to go to Tongjitang with Xue Sui to get medicine for Brother Ming.
Xue Sui readily agreed.
The two sisters left the house together.
Next to Tongji Hall is a teahouse. The teakeeper has already set the table by the roadside, and many people are sitting around chatting there.
Xue Sui often came to Tongjitang to get medicine, so he was familiar with it.
There seemed to be a lot more tea-goers in the teahouse today.
The discussion was also louder.
"I was woken up early in the morning. There were so many official officials, Yudai Lane was blocked..."
"My wife also ran to join in the fun..."
"Look, those people are going to Yudai Lane..."
“What’s so exciting about this?”
"The house of Yao, the Minister of Internal Affairs, was ransacked!"
"All the men were imprisoned, and the female relatives were made official slaves and sent to the Jiaofang Department."
"Oh my God! What kind of crime is this, so serious?"
"Deceiving the emperor, being corrupt and perverting the law, tampering with documents, forging edicts, allowing his son Yao Wei to use the name of Princess Pingle to seize fertile land, selling his official position, and cheating on scientific examinations. There are many crimes..."
"Good boy! The Yao family is too courageous!"
"It's true that Mrs. Yao had the foresight to make a divorce a few days ago. She must have gotten wind of it early..."
"Using the name of the princess, this is very interesting. Isn't it exactly the same as Gu Wulang of the Jingyuan Hou family? They are all on good terms with Princess Pingle. These are usually people who rely on the princess to dominate. I accidentally capsized the boat and took out the princess..."
"Hush, I can't say it. I can't say these things."
"Let's go and have a look."
Xue Sui asked Xue Yuelou, "Second sister, do you want to go take a look?"
There was a mist in Xue Yuelou's lowered eyes.
It's not sadness, but indescribable joy.
"Yes. I want to see with my own eyes their fate."
Yudai Lane, where the Yao family is located, is the residence of many dignitaries. A jade belt wraps around the waist, and wealth fills the door.
The alley is paved with bluestones, with sparse flowers and trees, and the houses are well-proportioned with cornices and brackets. But at this moment, the three floors inside and three floors outside were crowded with people. There were people hanging on the trees, squeezing each other like monkeys.
Xiao Zhao was very strong, so he found a good position and waved hard to Xue Sui.
"Girl, here, come here and have a clear view."
Xue Sui and Xue Yuelou walked over.
I saw that the officers and soldiers had already surrounded the Yao Mansion, and they were heavily guarded everywhere.
Each one of them was wearing heavy armor, holding a spear, and had a stern look on his face, blocking the onlookers from outside.
Everyone in the Yao Mansion, from the master to the servants, were escorted out of the mansion one by one.
Only Yao Wei was carried out. He was haggard and so thin that he was almost disfigured. His clothes were messy and his hair was scattered in front of his forehead. Under the sunlight, his face looked even more frail and pale than a normal person.
The female relatives were crying and staggering out, full of fear and despair.
Please...you...Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\!)
Xue Yuelou's eyes swept over them one by one.
She saw her mother-in-law, who was cunning, harsh, and mean to her.
I saw my sister-in-law who was sarcastic and made trouble out of nothing.
I saw the widowed sister-in-law who had an affair with her husband and had a child, and showed off her power in front of her...
There is also the eldest son who is going to jail with Yao Wei to await trial.
On the contrary, Brother Ming, because he is a well-known "idiot", has been delirious since he was a child, and is too young to get involved in the Yao family's affairs.
When Xue Qingzhi told the official in charge of the case that the child had gone with his mother during the reconciliation, the official crossed out Brother Ming's name, which was regarded as an extrajudicial favor.
The Yao family had calculated everything, but they never expected that Brother Ming would become the only bloodline in their family...
The man was thrown into jail, although it was not said that he would definitely be sentenced to death.
However, in order to quell the public grievances, His Majesty suppressed the "People's Petition" storm, covered up Princess Pingle's sins, and prevented the princess from being involved. It is very likely that she will be silenced...
They know it...
Maybe he can’t get out of prison!
"Let's go, second sister."
Xue Sui said: "Go back and pick up medicine."
Xue Yuelou nodded, and before leaving, he looked back again.
The wealth and splendor that once existed was like a bubble, shattered in an instant.
Only a miserable scene was left.
The Yao family also noticed them in the crowd, their eyes full of resentment and helplessness.
Yao Wei opened his mouth, raised his finger and pointed at Xue Yuelou, with a pleading look on his face, as if he wanted to say something, but was roughly interrupted by a slap from the official, and was mixed with the mournful cries of the female relatives, making it difficult to hear clearly.
Anyone who does unrighteousness will surely die.
Xue Yuelou's heart felt heavy when he thought of his sixth sister's words.
The group returned to Tongji Hall, where the waiter had already picked out the medicine they needed.
Xue Sui asked Xiao Zhao to pay the money, then took Brother Ming to get in the car and go back home.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the driver turned his car sideways, it hit the shaft of another car that had just arrived.
The coachman apologized profusely.
Xue Sui looked up and met a pair of eyes as gentle as a pool.
The man in the car had his hair neatly combed and tied up with a white jade hairpin. He was wearing a sapphire blue brocade robe with a straight collar and a neat placket, showing an outstanding temperament.
Xue Sui smiled slightly and said, "Official, I'm sorry."
The other party opened the car curtain further.
"It doesn't matter, let's go ahead, girl."
The man's voice was friendly and elegant.
Xue Sui thought of the No. 1 scholar who dominated the Jinluan Palace that day and paraded through the streets on horseback. Wherever he went, crowds crowded around him, and the daughters of the capital all admired him. He was so high-spirited, unrestrained and unrestrained...
Comparing it now, I can't help but smile.
This person is Lu Youan, Princess Pingle's consort.
His face was haggard, his eye sockets were sunken, and there were thick bruises under his eyelids. He looked weak and looked extremely thin.
What a pity.
Perhaps aware of Xue Sui's gaze, Lu Youan looked over cautiously and nodded towards her.
Xue Sui looked away, got in the car and left.
Lu Youan did not get out of the car immediately.
Instead, he sat where he was, looking at the plaque of Tongji Hall quietly with a gloomy look on his face.
-
The ninth day of April in the thirteenth year of Chongzhao.
Three days before King Duan's birthday, Xue Sui received three hundred taels of gold from Laifu. He put it in Hongfu Gambling House and did not send it to Xue's family.
Yaoguang looked at the golden bump and felt disgusted.
"Tsk, tsk, His Highness the Crown Prince is such a big deal. Just for two seeds? Is he crazy, or am I crazy?"
Xue Sui looked at him and motioned to Xiao Zhao to collect the money.
Yaoguang asked: "Where are you going to find the seeds of the exotic flowers from the Western Regions for him?"
Xue Sui said: "The fern flower in the dark sky."
That kind of plant is unique to Jiulingmarsh and is named after a flower. In fact, it never blooms or bears fruit, and it grows surprisingly slowly. It grows in the dark and humid place of Ji Ling Marsh, and it may not survive in Kyoto, let alone wait for it to bloom and bear fruit and be used as medicine to attract and suppress the poison...
Thirteen, isn’t this trying to fool Li Zhao?
Yaoguang felt a little sorry for the prince.
If the illness is urgent, seek medical treatment indiscriminately.
If I had known this, why would I have fallen into the hands of their emissaries?
This little Thirteen looks harmless, but actually he is full of evil intentions.
Xiao Zhao put away the gold bars and found a piece of paper with embossed ginkgo leaves underneath.
"Girl, there is a letter!"
Xue Sui took the letter from Xiao Zhao.
With a faint fragrance of leaves, there is only one line of small words.
She was already familiar with Li Zhao's handwriting.
This time the writing was particularly sloppy.
It can be seen how impetuous the person who writes is when he writes.
"Bring flowers to Youhuangju, plant them with your own hands, and then give up."
I went to the hospital today and came back a little late... uh uh uh~~
The second update is during dinner. I love you all, okay!
