Mrs. Wu was still chattering about what she had done for Zhang Biyao, which people she had arranged, who she had asked to marry into the East Palace, and why she had made such an arrangement. She told her daughter one by one.
Zhang Biyao listened quietly without interrupting.
It was not until this moment that she knew she could no longer stay in this home.
She was going to that place where people were eaten and lived an uncertain life.
I couldn't help but burst into tears.
Wu's eyes turned red when she saw it, and she held her in her arms: "My son, it really hurts my mother. As long as there are other ways, my mother will not send you to the East Palace."
Zhang Biyao cried on her shoulder, "You abandoned me for the sake of your brother and sent me to a life like a walking zombie."
"There is nothing my mother can do about it. We women have a hard life. Before we get married, we look after our parents, and after we get married, we look after our brothers. Your brother is the support of both of us."
Wu also shed tears, "Son, you can't trust anyone, not even your father. Only Jie'er is connected by blood with you, and we are brothers and sisters. Only when your brother is well, can we two be well."
Wu only has these two flesh and blood, and the palms and backs of her hands are all flesh. If possible, she does not want to send her daughter to the East Palace.
There is just no way.
"Yao'er, don't hate your mother, she is all for you. For you, your mother is willing to do anything, even if it costs your mother's life."
"Mother..." The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried.
On the same day, after Zhang Fu taught Huo Nian equestrian skills, he saw that his son was reluctant to leave, so he went to Huo's house with him. Under the warm invitation of Huo Erhuai and Yang, he stayed for dinner.
After the meal, the father and daughter left everyone behind and went to the courtyard to talk.
"In a few days, my father will ask for the crown prince title for Nian'er. Then you can go back to your hometown with your father."
Huo Xi was stunned and looked at him.
He didn’t answer, he just said: “Aren’t you angry if I brought down the Wu family?”
Zhang Fu was stunned for a moment, but then he smiled, "A tiger girl in a general's household should have such a bloody spirit."
"Besides, why should I be angry as a father? You should hit back at the Wu family when they deal with you. Besides, Wu Youcai deserves to be convicted. In recent years, the Wu family has relied on the relationship with the father to be tyrannical in the outside world, and the father knows it well.
.Thinking that there are some flaws in our cooking oil, the emperor feels more comfortable using our house, so he doesn't stop it."
He paused in his steps and stared into the void ahead.
"The Wu family is now many times better off than your grandfather's family."
Thinking about my father-in-law's family that I have not cared about all these years, I feel a little guilty.
"The emperor has not implicated anyone else. The whole Wu family is still living in the capital, with food and drink, and their lives will not be affected too much. As for your maternal grandfather's family... these years, it is because of your father's neglect of investigation.
It’s hard on your grandfather’s family.”
As he said this, he glanced at the eldest daughter. It was thanks to Nannan that he had taken care of her maternal family over the years. Otherwise, he didn't know how many members of the Li family would be left.
"I heard that your maternal uncle's family has been helping you all these years. I am grateful to my father, but what can I do for them?"
It would not be difficult for him to arrange errands for one or two people.
Huo Xi thought for a while and said, "No. I will repay the kindness to my great-uncle and his family in the future."
"That's fine. If there is anything my father can do, I must tell him."
Huo Xi looked at him: "Madam, it seems that you don't want my brother to return home as your legitimate son. Are you sure that if you give Nian'er a title, nothing will happen?"
Seeing that his daughter's tone was indifferent and she was unwilling to even call her grandmother, Zhang Fu sighed.
"Your grandmother is not a bad-hearted person. She is also doing it for the whole family, for the whole family."
Zhang Fu tried to resolve the misunderstanding between his daughter and her mother.
"In the early years, our family was not welcomed as a surrender of the old dynasty, and we were faced with enemies from both sides, so we lived in fear. It is extremely difficult for us to have such a family background now. Your grandmother is also scared. Your uncle's Wang family is
, so far no one has been able to achieve a real distinction. There are many juniors in your uncle’s family who are as talented as others in civility and martial arts. They are no worse than others, but now they can only be ordinary people, with no place to display their talents..."
Huo Xi had no impression of the Wang family and remained silent.
He just said: "I don't care about this. I only know that my mother's revenge must be avenged. This is what a child can only do. And no one can erase the status that my siblings deserve!"
"Father knows. No one can take away the identity of your sister and brother. Father doesn't agree to it either."
Seeing that he did not agree to avenge his mother, Huo Xi glanced at him.
She didn't continue to talk about this topic. It was up to her to avenge her mother's hatred. No one could stop her.
Zhang Biyao is approaching the East Palace.
She entered the East Palace and became a master instantly. Not only did the other two houses in the house come to add dowry, but also noble ladies from aristocratic families with whom she had good friends, ordinary friendships, or no friendships came to give her dowry.
In this way, a few days later, a charming girl was sent from the East Palace to take Zhang Biyao in.
The legitimate daughter of the Duke of Guo, no other woman in the prince's palace is more valuable than her. The prince's palace also attaches great importance to it. Instead of sending a green cloth sedan to perfunctory the matter, it solemnly sent Zhan Shi, the chief minister of the East Palace.
Waiting for a dozen people to come to the Duke's Mansion to greet him.
He also allowed the government to host a simple banquet.
Although Zhang Biyao is not considered married, she is not considered shabby either.
After Zhang Biyao entered the East Palace, Mrs. Wu was sad for two days, and finally she was free to deal with the Huo Xi siblings.
Now that she has established a relationship with the Prince's Mansion, she is looking for some manpower, and there is no shortage of them.
Huo Xi was not afraid of her taking action and had made various preparations for it.
Only when Wu takes action can she retaliate severely. People in the world will preemptively accuse her of being treasonous and murdering her concubine. With all kinds of evidence, she will be inconvenienced, and no one will dare to avenge Wu.
As the saying goes, "If you want it to perish, make it crazy."
Huo Xi also spread the news to Wu that Zhang Fu went to the school to pick up Huo Nian after he had been on business for several days, and taught him equestrian skills.
As expected, Mrs. Wu became increasingly unable to sit still.
Taking advantage of Zhang Biyao's new entry into the East Palace and the favor he received, he borrowed a lot of manpower from the Prince's Mansion.
When the news reached the ears of Mrs. Tai, those who originally supported Zhang Jie and Wu were somewhat alarmed by her methods and began to reflect on whether her decision was correct.
The concubine in the palace also learned about her parents' affairs and hurriedly summoned the concubine into the palace.
Now that Empress Xu has passed away, the emperor has not established a new empress, and the internal affairs of the harem are all taken care of by Concubine Zhang. Concubine Zhang has also taken it lightly in recent years. Whether she is favored or not, she lives the same life and no longer looks forward to giving birth to a child.
Half a woman.
She just hopes that her natal family will be harmonious, that her brother will gain divine favor, and that she will not be buried in the grave due to her merits in the family.
When I heard that my elder sister-in-law's two children were still alive, I couldn't believe it.
After waiting for these days, the palace did not take any action, and they did not know whether the matter was true or not, so they hurriedly summoned my mother into the palace.
