Yun Chuchu had no choice but to close her mouth, hold the handkerchief and cry sadly.
Tsk!
Mrs. Yun narrowed her eyes and sneered in her heart. She had never known before that Yun Chuchu liked to have a warm face and a cold butt.
It’s just asking for trouble.
"Send it back to the merchant? Chuchu, there is one more thing I forgot to tell you. The merchant is gone."
"Today, all the business owners, including Goodwill, are in jail awaiting trial. The merchant's house has been sealed, and all property has been confiscated."
"If it hadn't been for your eldest brother to write the divorce letter for you , I'm afraid you won't be able to escape this fate if you sever ties with the merchant."
"The merchant can't send this wild girl back. In my opinion, it's better to send her to jail together. Parents are reunited. "
"Hasn't she been clamoring for her parents? How can we be so cruel to separate her from her relatives? "
What?
The business is gone? ? ?
Yun Chuchu turned her head instantly and looked at Mrs. Yun dully and shocked. Her ears were buzzing as if they were struck by five thunders.
"Sister-in-law, you, what did you say?"
"Didn't Chuchu hear you clearly? I said, the business is gone!"
Mrs. Yun looked at her, her eyes It was clear and clear, and he repeated it word for word.
If it were in the past, she would definitely feel sorry for Yun Chuchu's body, fearing that she would not be able to bear the stimulation, so she would never tell her about it.
Even if Yun Chuchu knew about this one day, it would never be from her mouth.
But now, she suddenly realized that some people just bring it upon themselves.
She should be allowed to bear some consequences.
What's the use of all their efforts to protect her and think about her?
Yun Chuchuna might not appreciate it, and might even blame them for being cruel and nosy.
It is impossible for people who have become confused to suddenly wake up.
Sure enough, before Mrs. Yun could continue to think about it, Yun Chuchu's accusing voice could be heard in her ears.
Her eyes turned red instantly, looking shaky.
"How could this happen? Sister-in-law, did eldest brother do it? There are more than 200 people in the business, how many innocent people are there? Is eldest brother really so cruel?"
Ha...
Obviously she should be angry, but Mrs. Yun wanted to laugh for no reason.
She really laughed, and her voice was still the same as before. It was gentle and seemed to have no lethality, but it seemed to be full of inexplicable coldness.
"Yun Chuchu, what do you mean by this? Are you saying that your elder brother framed that merchant??"
Yun Chuchu was stunned and said blankly, "No, I am not like this. I mean, sister-in-law misunderstood.”
While speaking, she clenched her fists and looked away, not daring to look at Mrs. Yun at all.
Obviously, she feels guilty.
She doesn't admit it, just because she doesn't want to break things off and make things too tense for the time being. It doesn't mean that she doesn't think so in her heart.
Mrs. Yun could not help but feel chills all over her body, and her heart felt as if it had fallen into a cold pool.
A few days ago, my husband was so worried about this sister that he went out early and came back late every day, but in the end, what he got in exchange was a cruel word.
In her mind, is her husband the kind of person who uses his power to harm others?
But if it wasn't to vent her anger, why would my husband reach out to Nanzhou Mansion, two thousand miles away?
Why do you want to show your dignity as a public servant and have trouble with a merchant?
She has the nerve to talk about innocent people, but what about Zhenzhen?
Isn’t Zhenzhen innocent?
"Whether it's my misunderstanding or your true thoughts, you know for yourself, but Yun Chuchu, what I want to say is that even if that merchant is raped and executed, they deserve it."
"In these years, In the name of their husbands, they bribed the Prime Minister of Nanzhou Prefecture. From then on, they committed crimes in Nanzhou Prefecture. "
"In order to steal business, they hired murderers to kill everyone in the Xu family; in order to steal the secret recipe, they set up a trap. In the Sun family, more than 80 members of the Sun family were imprisoned;"
"In addition, many merchants who were dissatisfied with the merchants were forced to leave Nanzhou Prefecture with their families. It's bullying men and women, and treating human lives with contempt. "That businessman has countless lives on his back. You have been married to the businessman for eight years. Do you really know nothing about these things?"
< br>
Mrs. Yun was very angry. She almost roared these words, and her bright and dignified face turned red at the moment.
The incidents she mentioned were all investigated when Yun Zheng sent people to Nanzhou Prefecture to conduct a thorough investigation on the merchants some time ago.
Haojing is too far away from Nanzhou Prefecture. In the past few years, Yun Zheng was tired of the war and was angry with Yun Chuchu, so he didn't pay much attention to them.
Only when Goodwill wrote to ask for help, he helped him solve some difficult business problems.
In those matters, there was no favoritism, bending the law, and no use of power to harm others. It was not too much. That was why Yun Zheng helped.
It's not a big deal, but I didn't expect the merchants to take advantage of it.
As a result, Yunzheng's letter became their bragging rights.
They took those letters and trumpeted Ning Guogong's love for his sister and the importance he attached to their family, in order to win over officials who wanted to seduce Ning Guogong.
After some coquettish maneuvers, they managed to win over quite a few people, and Mr. Fu Cheng was one of them.
Fu Cheng is an official subordinate to the Grand Administrator. He has great power in Nanzhou Prefecture. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a local snake.
He took a fancy to Ning Guogong, the man behind the merchant, and took the initiative to show his favor to the merchant and accept his invitation. After that, he secretly helped the merchant to do many shameful things.
He was responsible for almost all the things like killing entire families, stealing people's secret recipes, putting people who opposed merchants into jail on a random charge, shielding merchants from bullying men and dominating women...etc.
If a merchant causes trouble, he will settle it.
Of course, just clinging to Ning Guogong, how can he be worthy of doing this?
In fact, he has received too many benefits from businesses over the years.
Every once in a while, the merchant would secretly send him a lot of snowflakes, silver and treasures, and the two sides colluded with each other for money and power.
The original intention of clinging to Ning Guogong has already deteriorated in the stakes transaction.
The two sides joined forces to become bigger and stronger. The Fu Cheng used money to bribe many officials and completely ignored the prefect.
The entire Nanzhou Prefecture has become his hall of speech.
But even if Fu Cheng covers the sky with one hand, he can't stop the Youyou crowd.
The common people spurned and cursed them in private, and the bad things they did were spread from person to person.
And Yun Chuchu had been married for eight years and lived in Nanzhou Mansion every day. Mrs. Yun did not believe that she had not heard the slightest news.
But now, she still says such things.
"Isn't the Xu family innocent? Isn't the Sun family innocent? Aren't all the people who were persecuted by the merchants innocent?"
"What were you doing when they were persecuted by the merchants? You Do you call for injustice on their behalf?”
"Yun Chuchu, when did you become like this?" Listening to Mrs. Yun's angry questioning, Yun Chuchu unconsciously clenched her hands, and a trace of embarrassment appeared on her thin face.
She knows those things.
But isn’t the struggle between merchants always like this?
The battle is which family has stronger backers, and which family is truly clean and innocent?
A common man is innocent and guilty of possessing a treasure. In this world, simplicity and weakness are the original sins.
A clean and innocent family with no means will be annexed sooner or later. How can it possibly have a foothold?
For example, the Xu family and the Sun family.
Everything businesses do is just to strengthen themselves. Maybe the methods are dirty and unfair, maybe they are doing something wrong, but this is also the way to survive.
Yun Chuchu murmured, "Sister-in-law, the business can be what it is today, and the eldest brother is also one of the accomplices. Is the eldest brother not guilty?"
"Putting this matter aside, the hands of eldest brother and A-Zhan are stained with less blood? How many aristocratic families were destroyed by their hands, so that the Yun family can be where it is today?"
After being knighted for military exploits, It was Yunzheng who betrayed the family and became the sword in the hands of the late emperor.
In order to purge the court and safeguard the imperial power, he destroyed countless families. After the death of the previous emperor, the prince was in a weak position. In order to help the new emperor ascend the throne, he even fought his way through the court.
How many innocent people are there among them?
So, how can there be any real justice in this world? Only power is justice.
For those in a high position, mistakes are also right; while for those in a lower position, if they make one mistake, they will go to hell.
Mrs. Yun: "..."
The Yun family is indeed unclean, but they have not done so many outrageous things just because of their own selfishness.
She did not dare to say what an upright and good person Yunzheng was, but he protected his family and country, upheld the orthodoxy of the royal family, and safeguarded the country and the country. He did many things that benefited the country and the people, and his achievements were countless.
What about the merchants?
All the evil things they did were for the benefit of their family.
The funny thing is that Yun Chuchu actually compares merchants to Yun Zheng, saying this about her eldest brother who loves her for a merchant who almost killed her.
For a moment, Mrs. Yun was disappointed.
She sneered, and her words became sharper without saving any dignity.
"Yes, you are right. The biggest mistake your brother made in his life was that he should not have fulfilled your interests and goodwill, and he should not have revised books to help businesses just to make you live a better life."< br>
"As for you saying he is guilty, then I will have a hard argument with you -"
"He was knighted for his military exploits and made great contributions. He is the most outstanding and brave general in the Great Wu Kingdom. His name is destined to go down in history, and his merits and demerits will be judged by future generations~"
"Even if he is guilty, it will be decided by the current saint. When will it be your turn as a businessman's wife to comment? ?”
“What qualifications do you have to say this?”
“For the sake of the person who almost killed you, I love you and support you like this, oh, Yun Chuchu, I see you. I’m really out of my mind.”
Yun Chuchu opened her lips, as if she was trying very hard to explain something, but no sound came out.
Looking at the pale woman with trembling lips in front of her, Mrs. Yun felt angry and sad. Scenes from the past appeared in her mind, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red.
"That business is really poisonous. In just eight years, how could it turn my Chu Chu into this?"
When she first married into the Yun family, Yun Chu Chu was less than five years old, with two braids, pink and jade, soft and waxy, and as beautiful as a porcelain doll. He pulled her and called her sister-in-law angrily.
Yun Chuchu likes her very much and relies on her very much. He always sleeps with her and sticks to her no matter what he does.
Her father was exiled, and she became the daughter of a criminal. She was chased by her fiancé, the Lin family, to the city gate to break the engagement.
When she first returned to Haojing, people always laughed at her for this.
Every time at this time, Yun Chuchu would stand up, blocking her body with her small body, glaring at the ladies who spoke ill of her.
She said, "It doesn't matter that my sister-in-law is the daughter of the guilty minister. She was not the one who made the mistake. She is the most beautiful woman in the world——"
"Even if she is the guilty minister's daughter Women are a hundred or ten thousand times better than you. You ugly people must be jealous of your sister-in-law because she is beautiful and say bad things about her.”
"The Lin family broke off the engagement because they were blind, but I have to thank them for breaking off the engagement, so that my eldest brother has the opportunity to marry such a good sister-in-law."
She also said, "I will remember you, and wait for my eldest brother to return home in triumph. , I must tell him that you bad women will bully your sister-in-law when he is not in the capital, and ask your eldest brother to punish you."
Yun Chuchu will be firm and unyielding whenever someone has a friction or dispute with her. He moved to her side.
Once, she was framed by a noble girl who admired Yun Zheng. In order to save her, Yun Chuchu accidentally fell into the lake and almost drowned.
She blamed herself endlessly, but when Yun Chuchu woke up, the first thing she did was not to shout that she felt uncomfortable, but to comfort her.
She said, "Sister-in-law, don't cry. Chu Chu is not uncomfortable at all, really."
She also said, "It's great that sister-in-law is okay. As long as sister-in-law is okay, Chu Chu is willing to do anything."
She vowed at that time that she would love Yun Chuchu even more in the future. Even if she gave birth to a daughter in the future, she would not be able to surpass Yun Chuchu.
After that, there were more than ten years of mutual support and companionship.
Yun Chuchu helps her take care of her middle child and takes care of her three brothers and sisters. To her, Yun Chuchu is her sister-in-law, sister and daughter. She is her close family member whose blood is thicker than water.
Until I met Goodwill, everything changed.
The little girl who was once obedient, sweet, and considerate was fed some ecstasy soup, and she became covered with sinews overnight.
She couldn't listen to a word of their words, and insisted on abandoning everything for love and leaving Nanzhou.
Unexpectedly, when we meet again, she has become this indifferent to right from wrong.
"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said those words that made you sad, and I shouldn't have said that to my brother. I just heard the news all of a sudden, and I was so anxious that I didn't hesitate to speak..."
Those words made Yun Chuchu feel guilty. She lowered her head and apologized while sobbing.
My brother and sister-in-law really love her, but she said those words. She is really not a human being.
“That’s all.”
What’s the use of apologizing?
What she said would throw away water. Mrs. Yun didn't want to hear meaningless things. She suppressed all her emotions and her face was indifferent and distant.
"Since I mentioned this matter to you today, I will tell you all about the situation in Nanzhou Prefecture. Now, in addition to the merchants, the prefect and others are also imprisoned."
"Prefect The Lord is back in power and is working hard to collect evidence. As soon as the evidence is sufficient, he will be questioned in public. "
"There is no way to escape the decision. The merchant has no chance of turning over. I am planning to do this too. Send someone to Nanzhou Prefecture Prison to reunite with her family."
"As for Chu Chu, just rest in peace and recuperate in the house, and don't interfere with the business affairs." (End of Chapter)
