Chapter 1228 Don't even call off the engagement

Tan Mo's face turned dark after hearing this.

He has no way to take revenge and calm down. When Mrs. Guo died, he suppressed it for a long time. Now that the last sister has died, how can he accept it?

Mrs. Tan knew that he was feeling uncomfortable, so she never said anything and just looked at him quietly.

"When did it happen?" Tan Mo calmed down a little.

Mrs. Tan said: "Just a few days after King Chu and Princess Chu left Daqi..."

Tan Fei's face was full of disbelief: "My uncle is the Marquis of Zhenbei, and he is not an ordinary person. How could he have his entire family executed?"

"Because they helped the second prince of Da Qi usurp the throne, and they also wanted to kill the emperor of Da Qi..."

Mrs. Tan's answer silenced the Tan family father and son.

Such a crime is enough to exterminate all nine clans, not to mention the whole family.

Mr. Tan Ge was furious. Although Mrs. Guo was stupid, she was still the daughter he truly loved, otherwise he would not have let her marry into the Guo family, which had a simple population.

When she died, I was so sad.

Now the eldest daughter is gone too. She is her pride. Over the years, she has relied on her own ability to gain a foothold in Daqi and support her husband to take the position of Zhenbei Hou. Unexpectedly, the last time he came to Dayong, this was the time.

Not long ago, it was gone...

She came back for the first time in so many years, and it was the last time she saw them...

"This matter must be related to King Chu..." Tan Fei said with certainty.

He believed that if Mo Junye and Yin Suhua were there at that time, they would not stand idly by.

Maybe, these things were planned by them.

They have been back to Dayong for so many days, they have met at palace banquets, and they have dealt with each other in the court, but they still refuse to tell them the news about the Tan family. If they say that they are not joking, no one will believe it.

Tan Mo also felt that this matter must be related to King Chu and Princess Chu.

"Even if you know this, what can you do?" Tan Mo asked.

"It shows that their ill will towards our Tan family is very serious. We can't let them get what they want. They will attack us in other ways in the future..." Tan Fei said his thoughts directly.

The combination of Mo Junye and Yin Suhua has never failed.

As long as they want to do something, nothing can't be done.

If the Tan family doesn't find a way to deal with it in advance, or find a more advantageous ally, they may end up like the Guo family in the future.

"In this way, the Liu family's marriage must not be canceled..." Tan Mo has already felt how important this marriage is to them.

Tan Fei also said: "That's right, we absolutely cannot agree to this...I am determined to marry this Liu Yuxia..."

Mr. Tan Ge, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke: "You two, shut your mouths first..."

Mrs. Tan had not woken up yet, so she was not in the mood to listen to what they said.

Tan Mo hurried to his mother and asked cautiously: "Father, what did the imperial doctor say?"

"It's just that I feel restless, my blood is not flowing smoothly, and after hearing the bad news suddenly, I feel anxious and anxious..."

Mr. Tan Ge's tone was full of helplessness.

He wished that he was the one who fell, but he was worried that it would be Mrs. Tan who fell and suffered the consequences.

"You go down first. When your mother wakes up, I will call you..." Mr. Tan Ge said.

Mrs. Tan said: "Father, it's better for me to stay..."

"You can do whatever you need to do, I'll stay with your mother for a while..."

Tan Mo had no choice but to take Mrs. Tan and Tan Fei out first.

After coming out, Mrs. Tan said: "Husband, I understand that you are anxious, but you really shouldn't have talked about this in front of your father just now. You clearly know that the person whom your father cares about the most is your mother. She is not even awake, so he can't care about anything...

"

Tan Mo also felt that he was too anxious just now, so he didn't think so much.

"Well, I was also confused by my sister's matter..."

Tan Fei said: "Mom, the imperial doctor really said that my grandmother is fine?"

"She is getting older. She was already deeply affected when your little aunt died. Now that your eldest aunt and her whole family are gone, she will definitely not be able to bear it..."

After hearing this, Tan Fei had other plans in mind.

"So, we can't let King Chu and Princess Chu succeed. If our marriage with the Liu family is called off, she shouldn't be able to accept it."

"Fei'er, what do you want to do?" Tan Mo asked.

"Let me first think about how we should respond if someone from the Liu family comes tomorrow..."

Tan Fei really didn't think of a good way for a while.

At this time, servants from the Prince of Chu's Mansion came to report that news had finally come from Da Qi. The Tan family already knew about the death of Zhenbei Hou's family.

"Oh, I still can't hide it. Does the Liu family know?" Yin Suhua asked.

The visitor said: "Not yet, the Tan family was notified of the news immediately."

"Then let the Liu family know, otherwise they will be kept in the dark again."

The visitor accepted the order and left, while Yin Suhua sat there leisurely.

Mingyue asked carefully: "Princess, you and the prince were too calm this time and didn't do anything..."

"We don't need to do anything. Anyway, the Tan family will definitely think that the matter is related to us. We don't explain it, and there is no need to take action to make the Liu family think this way... These two families are old foxes. Let them fight among themselves first. We are just fine.

Think about what methods should be used to make the people live a better life... If the imperial capital can implement public carriages now, other state capitals will naturally promote it in the future. However, their roads are not very good, so they must first find a way to get the emperor to come forward.

, help the people repair the roads..."

Yin Suhua's plan has already been advanced many steps.

Mingyue asked: "Princess, if that's the case, there won't be much money left in the treasury. If there is a need in the future, we Dayong may not be able to come up with so much money at once..."

Yin Suhua said: "This is very simple. Increase the intensity of investigating corruption. The families of those corrupt officials will have enough money to repair the roads..."

Mingyue still couldn't believe it: "How much greed do you have to be?"

"A small county magistrate can embezzle millions of taels a year. Do you believe it?"

This number shocked Mingyue.

She doesn't understand the world of rich people, not the world of powerful people.

"They created clever names, applied for government funding, and set up additional exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes to increase the burden on the people. They deducted all kinds of wages on weekdays. All these things combined are enough to make them fat, especially those salt administration officials.

, do you think any of them are fat and sweaty when they walk?"

Mingyue nodded, but she still felt shocked.
