Chapter 281: The end of the household minister’s career
And Tang Shuhuan has been sending people to keep an eye on Aunt Yin and the others, because she knows that Aunt Yin, mother and son love her father's powerful position, gold, silver and jewelry, but they don't really love her father.
Only her mother could not see clearly due to her dazed father.
Aunt Yin thought she had explained everything perfectly, but Tang Shuhuan, who had been staring at her, found out about it. Naturally, this also gave her a great inspiration.
But she didn't have as much gold and silver as Aunt Yin, mother and son, so she had to think of another way.
"Just pretend you haven't noticed this. We will go back to the countryside to farm in the future, but I don't want you to go back to the hard days you had. I only have this money on me. You know that these past ten years
It's because I have no ability and cannot be loved by my parents. Fortunately, your renouncement is still in my hands?"
Tang Shuhuan took out a deed of betrayal and handed it to the maid who had served her since she was a child: "Now take the deed of betrayal to the government to cancel your slave status. This one hundred taels of silver will be regarded as the end of the friendship between you and me, master and servant."
, with this money, you can buy a few acres of farmland outside the city and buy a smaller village. I can only help you here. In the future, we may not be destined to meet again."
After Tang Shuhuan finished speaking, he turned around and couldn't help but shed tears.
"No, I won't leave young lady. The best thing for me is you. I can't abandon young lady at this time. I can't do that." The young lady saved all this money little by little. The master is not favored.
Love, as servants, they will naturally be looked down upon and bullied by others. The young lady always uses her meager monthly money to buy food for the two of them to fill their stomachs.
The scheming Tang Shuhuan subdued a loyal servant like this. Naturally, she also insisted on rewarding her maid with the one hundred taels of silver, and personally took the maid to the Yamen to cancel her slave status. This made the servant even more jealous.
The maids around me are grateful.
On the palace side, the Eighth Prince made a move that the princes did not expect.
"Lao Qi, do you want to go talk to your father?" This Lao Ba is really not a good person. He used to be a pig, but now he can play tricks. After doing this, the emperor must feel guilty for him. He also expressed
He expressed his loyalty and indicated that he had never had any idea about the throne.
But in this case, they were roasted on the fire. They just didn't know. The emperor didn't say it, but he must have been thinking about it in his heart. If he mentioned it, it would be like picking apart someone's wisdom.
"Yes, but not now. We will mention it again when we get married and go to express our gratitude to our father." He was also anxious, but now was not a good time to go.
The two of them had a tacit understanding not to mention sensitive topics, because neither of them had ever thought about competing for that position from the beginning to the end.
They used to drift with the crowd in order to survive, but now they are very satisfied.
Rather than becoming a slave to power, it is better to let go and enjoy life.
There was an eerie calm in the palace, like the calm before the storm.
There was no gossip and everyone in the capital turned their attention to the demoted Tang Xinhua family.
Three days later, Tang Xinhua, the Minister of Household Affairs, completely left the capital.
A carriage that was not very gorgeous but very expensive took the lead, followed by several carriages and flatbed trailers. They were frustrated and depressed.
Halfway through the journey, Tang Xinhua, who had been beaten, burst into tears. Lu was also in pain and kept wailing along the way.
Tang Shushu and Aunt Yin were in a dilapidated carriage each. Tang Shuhuan was riding in a carriage reserved for servants in the mansion. They were silent with the maid as they approached Dingyuan City.
Tang Shuhuan directly exposed Aunt Yin and their plans in public.
"You're talking nonsense." Aunt Yin was not willing to admit it. She was also cruel to Tang Shuhuan in her heart. They could fly away soon. This bitch actually dared. How dare she spy on them.
"You can tell if I've lied at a glance, so why bother shouting with a red face? Dad, in order to show Aunt Yin's innocence, I'd better check and have a look, lest my daughter unjustly accuse Aunt Yin."
"Sister, what are you doing? Daddy is not in good health, so we can rush home to let him recover. I know we asked my brother to go to the front to take care of things first, which made my sister misunderstood, but sister shouldn't ignore daddy's health just to provoke our relationship.
." Tang Shushu got out of the car softly and stood next to Aunt Yin. After seeing Tang Xinhua with a bad expression, she hurriedly walked over and patted Tang Xinhua's back filially.
"I'd better tell you whether it's true or not. You'll know after seeing it." After Tang Shuhuan and the maid looked at each other, she strode directly towards the two carriages behind.
Aunt Yin was anxious. She had stored all her belongings in two carriages. What if Tang Shuhuan searched them out?
Tang Shushu shook his head slightly. They had done everything perfectly and they would definitely not be found out.
Sure enough, Tang Shuhuan searched for a long time and became more and more anxious. However, he was scolded by Tang Xinhua and slapped by Lu before getting out of the car.
"It must have been hidden. I don't believe it. I clearly heard that you were going to run away in Dingyuan Prefecture." Tang Shuhuan was so angry that he tore off the curtains and the curtains on both sides of the two carriages and threw them on the ground.
I stepped on it several times.
"Miss, don't be angry. Let's take these pieces of rags back and keep them out of the wind." The maid quickly picked them up and took a piece from Tang Shushu's hand. Then she helped Tang Shuhuan get into the carriage. Outside was
Tang Xinhua's scolding and Lu's apology were naturally accompanied by the pretended crying of the mother and daughter.
The two looked at each other and both covered their mouths and laughed.
"Miss, I'll just come."
"It's too slow for you alone. This will be our living expenses in the future."
The two quickly sewed the collected banknotes into the lining of their own skirts, carefully making sure they wouldn't fall out no matter how they jumped.
Finally, the curtains were re-sewed, but this time they contained not individual banknotes, but paper bags containing the banknotes.
They also admired the brains of those two people. If they hadn't been staring at them, they would never have remembered that they would exchange all the gold and silver for banknotes, wrap the small table with cloth, fold it into small pieces and stuff it into the cracks of the carriage.
Even the curtain was filled with banknotes. The two of them had to suffer a clear loss from this curtain. They didn't want to scare the snake anymore, so they had no choice but to endure it.
It's a pity that everything in the carriage was taken away, so Aunt Yin and the others could only draw water from a bamboo basket in vain.
…
"Your Highness, you finally came to see me." He Lingyao burst into tears. She was not favored and didn't even have a charcoal fire. The whole room was so cold that she shivered from the cold. Her hands and feet were itching in her heart and lungs in the middle of the night.
It hurts when scratched.
"Why didn't you go get the charcoal?" The second prince remembered that there was a concubine room that was particularly open to the public, so he came over. Unexpectedly, it was even more like an ice cellar.
