After Hongli and the others left Zhengzhou Mansion, Yu Shaofu was rejected by the government. He could not borrow the power of the government, so he had to come to make trouble on his own, but failed to get any benefits. Next, he heard that he was sick and his wife and concubine took care of him.
With the child, all his money was taken away, and he eventually died of illness in desolation.
As for Wang Erniu, he always kept in mind the kindness given to him by Hongli and devoted himself to taking care of Mantingfang. In the next ten years, he first rebuilt Mantingfang and then opened several branches.
The business was prosperous, and at the age of forty-two, he married
He has a wife and a family with children and grandchildren, but he has always had a wish, that is, to see Hongli and Xianyue again and say thank you to them in person. If it hadn't been for this encounter in the fifteenth year of Qianlong's reign, he would have been alone in his life.
I would never dream of thinking about this.
Of course, these are things for later. After Hongli and his companions left Zhengzhou, they no longer stopped anywhere else. They headed north and returned to the Forbidden City at the end of February.
As early as a month before them, Yongzhang was taken to the clan mansion and imprisoned. When Su heard the news from the palace, it was like a bolt from the blue. The son on whom she had placed all her hopes was brutally imprisoned.
Forbidden, it is easy to enter this sect's mansion, but it is extremely difficult to get out again.
Su Shi managed to calm down and said, "Do you know why the third elder brother was imprisoned by the emperor?"
The palace servant said: "I heard that during the southern tour, the Queen was killed by the third young lady who escaped from the Yehenala family, and her life was in danger. The third elder brother wanted to take this opportunity to harm the Queen, so he offended the emperor and was imprisoned.
stand up."
Hearing this, Mrs. Su said bitterly: "This Yongzhang, I have repeatedly told him to be careful, but he still made such a mistake, and this will end like this." After a moment, she said to the man who was adding incense to the Boshan furnace.
The palace attendant said: "Did the Emperor say how long the confinement will last?"
"No." The palace attendant's answer made Su feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar and her whole body was as cold as ice. With Yongzhang like this, wouldn't she have to be trapped in Xinzheku for the rest of her life? No, she also has a son!
Thinking of this, Mrs. Su gained some energy and said, "If you see Brother Si, tell him for me that I miss him so much that he can come to Xinzheku when he can."
"I know." The palace man responded and left. He didn't deal with Su family, and indeed brought the words to Yongxun. However, Yongxun's appearance brought Su family not hope, but
despair.
"This is the last time I come to see you, and I will never come again." After Yongxun stepped into Xinzhe's library, the first words he said made Su Shi frightened, and she hurriedly stepped forward to pull him away.
Holding up his hand, he said: "Yongxun, why do you say such things? I am your mother-in-law, you..."
Yongxun's eyes turned cold and interrupted her, "Yes, you gave birth to me, but with a mother like you, I only feel shameful. I would rather you never gave birth to me!"
Su's expression suddenly changed, and she said in disbelief: "Are you crazy? We have been separated for such a long time. Mother wanted to see you, but when you came back, you said such hurtful words. Do you still have any thoughts in your eyes?
I’m this bitch?”
"Miss me?" Yongxun sneered: "Do you miss me, or are you worried that your third brother will be imprisoned in the clan's mansion and you will have no way to leave Xinzheku?"
Su Shi was struck by what he said, and she looked a little uncomfortable, but she quickly recovered and said: "Why do you think of E Niang like this? Yes, E Niang called you here because she wanted to ask about Yong Zhang.
, but as a mother-in-law, what’s wrong with caring about her own son?”
Yongxuan laughed sarcastically and said, "Do you really think I don't know anything? It was not Xiao Mencius and the others who killed E Niang in Chonghua Palace, but the third brother. And the reason why he did that is, after all,
,You taught them all, right?!"
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Su was really shocked and said hurriedly: "Are you talking about Imperial Concubine Yimin? What nonsense are you talking about? How could it be Yongzhang? Who told you this?"
Yongxun shook his head in pain and said: "If it weren't for you, E Niang would not have died; if it weren't for you, the third brother would not be on the road of no return, let alone be imprisoned in the clan's mansion by Huang Ama. I will never...
…I will never forgive you!”
"Yongxun!" Mrs. Su said anxiously: "Have you forgotten? I am your mother-in-law, and Concubine Yimin is just your adoptive mother!"
"I remember, but I hope she is the one who gave birth to me. You..." He shook his head slowly and uttered two words from between his teeth, "Not worthy!"
Following these two words, he forcefully pulled his hand away from Su, letting the latter stagger back and hit the corner of the table.
The Su family came to Yongxuan in order to win over this son, but she heard such hurtful words. The contrast with before the southern tour was so great that it was really hard for her to accept.
Su Shi endured the pain in her waist and said: "Who is it...who is instigating this in your ears? Queen, right?"
Yongxun smiled and said: "Why do you need anyone to provoke you? From the beginning to the end, I have never believed you!"
These words were like thunder, exploding in Su's ears, causing the latter to feel dizzy and said with difficulty: "So, everything before... was all false?"
Yong Xun understood what she meant. At this time, there was no point in hiding it anymore and admitted: "Yes, I am close to you and third brother, just to track down the evidence that you harmed my mother." Ever since he stepped here, Yong Xun
He never called her "Eniang", which shows how much he hates Su in his heart.
"You!" Mrs. Su said with hatred in her heart, "I was pregnant for ten months and worked hard to give birth to you. Not only are you ungrateful, but you also regard your biological mother and your brothers as enemies. Are you worthy of me?"
Yongxun looked at her silently for a while, shook his head with some disappointment and said, "I've said everything I want to say, just take care of yourself."
When Yongxun was about to open the door, Su suddenly said: "Does Yongzhang being imprisoned this time have anything to do with you?"
Yongxun paused, turned his back to her and said, "I saw a sentence in a book, which is: Those who do unrighteousness will be killed!"
"That's your biological brother, are you treating him like this?" Listening to Su's almost hysterical scream, Yongxun said no more, opened the door and walked out of the room.
When the winter sun shone all over his body, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath, Mom...Although I couldn't avenge you personally, the third brother finally got his retribution, and the Su family can no longer leave Xinzheku to do evil.
Now, you can rest in peace.
E Niang, it would be great if you were still alive. You could tour the south with me and enjoy the snow scenery in the south of the Yangtze River together. E Niang, I miss you so much...
The sunlight that shone into the room only appeared for a moment, and was cut off by the closed door. Just like Su's mood at the moment, she had lived for so many years, but she was deceived by her own son. Yongxun... wasn't it?
