After waiting for a long time after the eunuch who announced the decree left, Daiyu looked at Lin Ruhai with a confused face and murmured: "Father, did my daughter hear wrongly? Why did I hear Madam Liu being straightened up in a trance?"
Lin Ruhai was also confused at this time. He didn't understand why the emperor suddenly announced something that he had told him to think about slowly.
However, he quickly thought of Jiusi, who had left Beijing before dawn this morning, and immediately realized that she was probably causing trouble.
But now that the courtyard was full of people, he couldn't explain anything to Daiyu, so he had to have someone help her back to his courtyard and let her calm down first, while he changed into his official uniform and entered the palace.
When the Jia family received the news, their porcelain was broken all over the floor. Jia's mother's scolding words and the Jia family's dissatisfaction were spread everywhere by the servants in the house. Suddenly, everyone in the capital was watching them.
The bustle of home.
The men of the Jia family who went out to play were so embarrassed that they didn't even want to leave the house. The previous pride in the Jia family's being concubines was completely washed away.
Lin Ruhai originally wanted to go into the palace and ask questions, but who knew that the emperor had no intention of seeing him at all. He let him sit alone in the side hall and wait for a long time before letting him go back.
On the way back, Lin Ruhai didn't understand what was going on at first, but when he came back and regained consciousness, he suddenly realized that the emperor was taking the opportunity to beat him!
When the emperor talked to him before, he had said that the imperial edict of strengthening the body had been given to Jiu Si. The meaning is self-evident, that is to give him face and let him handle this matter by himself.
In this way, even if others ask, he will have a reason to explain and will not make the scene too ugly.
At that time, he thought that this was a family matter, and because he had just made a great contribution, he thought that even if he delayed the matter and did not deal with it, the emperor would not do anything to him, so he did not take it to heart at all, and he never paid attention to it in the palace.
Mentioned once.
Later, Jiusi mentioned it to him several times in secret and overtly. He thought that she was dissatisfied with her status as a concubine and wanted to use it to suppress Daiyu, so he kept saying that it was difficult to explain the matter to Daiyu.
He didn't say anything.
Who would have thought that this time the two of them would go directly past him.
Now that the imperial edict has been issued, no matter how unwilling he is, he must accept it.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head: "I've been living so comfortably for so long that I forgot who I am. I dared to do something perfunctory even though I knew it was the emperor's order. For this moment, I really am.
ask for it.
Alas, I just hope that Daiyu won’t blame me for this after I go back!”
Immediately, thinking about the close relationship between the two sisters, he became even more troubled.
Sure enough, when he returned to the house, before he had time to change out of his official uniform, the housekeeper came to report that Daiyu couldn't stand the stimulation and fainted as soon as she returned to the hospital.
Helpless, he had to change clothes in a hurry and hurried to her yard.
Xu Jiusi's previous conditioning had an effect. Although Daiyu was stimulated, she did not coma for a long time and woke up in the evening.
But after she woke up, she was unwilling to accept this fact. It was one thing to say that the relationship between sisters was good, but it was another thing to take away her mother's position.
She originally wanted to get up and go find Jiusi to ask for clarification, but she was told that Jiusi had already left the capital with his people and was now missing. She couldn't find them even if she wanted to, so she had no choice but to lie on the bed and cry silently.
Seeing her like this, Lin Ruhai felt very distressed in her heart. After waving her hands and asking everyone to retreat, she softly persuaded: "Why are you doing this? He is just a deceased person. Even if he is restored, he will be the same."
A step below your mother.
Besides, don’t you also like your sister very much? Her mother has been rehabilitated, and you two are both legitimate daughters, so you can get closer to each other in the future, right?”
Daiyu looked at him with a stubborn face and said: "How can this be the same? It's just a matter of straightening up, but she still wants to be on an equal footing with her mother. What a proud mother she is. She didn't want to suffer such humiliation during her lifetime, so how can she
Would you be willing to suffer such humiliation after death?
If I, as a daughter, don’t seek justice for her, then how can I have the dignity to see my mother after her death?”
It was okay that she didn't mention Jia Min, but she also got angry when she mentioned Lin Ruhai: "Then you tell me what justice is?
When the Jia family killed Mrs. Liu and wanted to kill your sister, they couldn't even mention it. Is this fair to them?
Your concubine was killed at home by your mother's dowry when he was just a little old. Who can he ask for justice?
When your sister was forced to go to Beijing to protect your safety, was this fair to her?
When the Jia family plotted against our Lin family and almost destroyed our family, my father, as a junior, couldn't even resist. Is this fair to my father?
Yes, maybe you will say that your mother did not do it, and your mother did not know about it, but it was your mother's dowry, and it was from the Jia family, wasn't it?"
After hearing this, Daiyu could not speak for a long time. Only the endless tears showed how sad she was.
Seeing this, Lin Ruhai couldn't help but sigh: "Yu'er, you are not young anymore, and your father is already old. Even if he wants to, he can't protect you for much longer. It's time for you to grow up.
You have to understand that in this world, you can never survive with just a word of "justice". If you continue like this, you will suffer big losses in the future.
It's getting late, and I can't stay in your room too long, so I'll go back first. Think about those words carefully!"
After saying that, he called his servants in, told them a few words, and asked them to take good care of Daiyu, and then returned to his yard.
Today, he said these words not only to Daiyu, but also to himself.
Since you can't be fair and just from the beginning, don't force it so much, otherwise you will only hurt others and yourself.
Since the father and daughter talked that night, they have never seen each other again. Lin Ruhai had just returned to Beijing and was already busy with everything. Now that this happened, she was even busier. She had no time to care.
Daiyu's.
As for Daiyu, because she couldn't think about it, she locked herself in the house and either sat there in a daze or cried silently every day, which made the whole courtyard very depressed.
The two masters in the Lin Mansion were both in a bad mood, and the servants in the manor did not dare to make a fuss. They were all doing their own things quietly, without the lively joy of the past.
Unexpectedly, before Daiyu could recover from this blow, the imperial edict for Jiusi mother and daughter to break away from the Lin family had arrived again.
At this time, not to mention Lin Ruhai and his daughter, even everyone in the capital was in confusion.
Everyone in the court was speculating one after another. They couldn't figure out what the emperor's two imperial edicts meant, and whether they were related to the fight between several princes.
As everyone knows, this is just a transaction between two people.
That day, Jiusi entered the palace and found out that the emperor asked her to help deliver food. In addition to being inconvenient to mobilize his own manpower, there was another very important reason, that is, he asked her to help hold down the battle.
Jiusi may not be good at anything else, but there are few opponents in this martial arts. If she goes, among other things, at least the safety of those generals will be absolutely guaranteed.
