Miss Yu San stepped forward and took Mrs. Yu Er's arm.
"What are you doing?" Mrs. Yu Er asked, "Pack your things and follow me back to Kaipingwei. You are just spoiled by us. Which young lady can celebrate the New Year in the capital when she is not married?"
She refused to agree, or the master said that Kaipingwei is a bitter cold place, and my daughter finally went to the capital. It is better to let her see the prosperity of the capital during the New Year. Let her be free now, and everything will be decided by them in the future.
If she married into her husband's family, they would not be able to decide. Besides, considering the current situation, it would be a good idea to listen to the news in the capital. She felt that the master's words made sense, so she brought several wives from the family to accompany her daughter.
"Mother," Miss Yu San said, "aren't you going to see Mrs. Li?"
Li Changyan only made meritorious service in Shandong and was transferred to Datong Prefecture. If Li Xu had not risen to prominence in the Kaiping Guards, they would not have known the Li family.
If there was some friendship, it was because Mrs. Kong liked to move around.
Thinking of Grandma Kong Er, Mrs. Yu Er sighed: "Now is a troubled time. King Jian's rebellion has not yet been discovered in Northern Xinjiang. We still have to be careful. If we are accidentally involved, it will be really bad."
Miss Yu San thought carefully about King Jian's case: "There must be King Jian's manpower in the north, but King Jian and King Xianjun are dead, so there shouldn't be much trouble. Don't worry, mother, Li Jiuye has investigated King Jian's case and made meritorious service. This will
This matter will not affect the Li family."
Mrs. Yu Er looked at her daughter's pretty face and said, "I don't know what's so good about Li Xu." Even if she intended to marry her daughter out of Kaipingwei, a family like the Li family was simply not good enough. She didn't expect that the Li family would pick on Qiao instead.
, according to her intention, she would never have any contact with the Li family again. Her daughter just couldn't let go of Li Xu.
"The Minister of Punishment was deceived by King Jian," Miss Yu San whispered. "In the end, it was Li Jiuye who discovered the clue. I didn't have to go to the Li family... I just wanted to inquire about the news. After all, it concerns our northern Xinjiang.
."
Mrs. Yu Er thought for a while and ordered: "Prepare the carriage and horses. I will go to Li's house with the lady to have a look." She also wanted to know whether her daughter's always saying that Li Xu was trusted by the court was true. After seeing it with her own eyes, she had a feeling in her heart.
consider.
After the Yu family sent the post to the Li family, Mrs. Yu Er took Miss Yu San into the Li family yard.
Before I could even open the door, I heard a voice coming from inside: "Madam, you can't ignore it. You don't know how our Kong family has treated the Li family over the years. After all, we are also in-laws. Seeing the entire Kong family...
If you fall into it, hundreds of lives will be lost."
The steward mother coughed lightly when she heard this, letting the room know that another guest had arrived.
Mrs. Yu Er saw Mrs. Li sitting on the big kang near the window, with a sad look on her face. She probably hadn't had a good rest in the past few days, her eye sockets were a little blue, and she was a bit thinner than when she was in Northern Xinjiang. It can be seen that she was indeed
I'm worried about this matter.
Mrs. Li stood up immediately when she saw Mrs. Yu Er and Miss Yu San: "I should have gone to visit Mrs. Yu a long time ago. There have been a lot of things at home recently, and I really can't get away from them."
Before Mrs. Li could exchange greetings with the Yu family, Mrs. Kong San said in a hoarse voice: "Second brother and second sister-in-law will come to Beijing these two days. My poor second sister-in-law heard that both sons were arrested.
He had already fainted once, and his home felt as if the sky was falling. He said every day that it would be better not to come to Beijing to ask for any errands.
Jing Chun's wife said that the Li family had connections in Beijing, so she came to inquire about the news... and this was the result."
Kong Jingchun is the name of Mr. Kong, and Jingchun's wife is talking about Miss Li. Mrs. Yu's eyes jumped when she heard this. The Kong family clearly meant to tie up the Li family.
Mrs. Yu Er looked at Mrs. Li. Mrs. Li didn't seem to understand the meaning. She kept nodding along, and then said apologetically: "It's all our fault."
What's wrong? Mrs. Yu Er can't help but worry about Mrs. Li. Master Kong Wu is colluding with King Jian. What does this have to do with Miss Li coming to Beijing?
If Miss Li doesn't come, Master Kong Wu will also be a member of King Jian's party, and the Kong family will have the same result.
Mrs. Yu Er is really worried about Mrs. Li. She is as soft as a ball of dough and can be squeezed no matter how hard she is.
"Now they say that the mother in charge was instigated by our Kong family, who wanted to kill Jingchun's wife. How is that possible?" Mrs. Kong San looked at Mrs. Li, "Mrs., we don't want anything else, we just want to
Ask Mr. Li Jiu, what is going on? Did the in-laws really just watch us in trouble? You must know that when our family invited a husband, several of them came to study.
As in-laws, even if we don't advance and retreat together, we can't do this..."
Mrs. Kong San started crying as she spoke.
"Third Mrs., don't cry," Mrs. Li became even more panicked, "I really don't know what the case is like. I heard something happened last night, and I didn't sleep a wink all night. The master has already gone out to inquire about the news, otherwise... I...
I'll ask Brother Xu to come back."
When Mrs. Yu Er heard this, she knew that Mrs. Li had been completely controlled by the Kong family. She didn't dare to mention "joint advancement and retreat" at any time. The Kong family was a rebel, and the Li family would also be implicated as a traitor.
Party? You have such a loud tone.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Yu couldn't help but said: "I heard that Mr. Kong Wu was involved in a rebellion. No wonder Mrs. Li didn't know about it. No one in the court dared to discuss it casually."
Even if the Kong family is kind to the Li family, they cannot let the Li family get along with all the clan members. The Kong family has known this for a long time, because they bully Mrs. Li for being weak and soft-hearted.
While they were talking, the steward came in and reported: "Madam, Master Jiu said that the yamen is busy with official business and won't be able to come back. He even asked the boys to bring a change of clothes to check the room."
In other words, Li Xu can no longer be seen.
Mrs. Li looked embarrassed: "Mrs. Kong San, you heard it too. Brother Xu can't get away now. Don't worry, my master has already gone to inquire about the news..."
"How can we afford to wait," Mrs. Kong San interrupted Mrs. Li, "if this continues, the entire Kong family may be dead one day."
After Mrs. Kong San finished speaking, she looked deeply at Mrs. Li: "Madam, you should know that our Kong family has no intention of rebellion. The Li family has close ties with our Kong family in Taiyuan. How can we escape Li if there is any change?
The eyes of the home? Do you think that’s right?”
Mrs. Li subconsciously wanted to nod, but she seemed frightened by the slightly threatening expression on Mrs. Kong San's face. She froze and pursed her lips tightly.
Mrs. Kong San continued: "After this case, Li Jiuye has a bright future. I just hope that Li Jiuye will be able to act impartially and not be like that Zhang family."
After Mrs. Kong San finished speaking, she took a deep look at Mrs. Li. This matter was clearly framed by someone who framed the Kong family. They found out what Jingchun's wife had said to the court. Someone from the court had already gone to Taiyuan. Master
I hurried back after hearing the news.
She didn't believe that Jing Chun's wife didn't reveal anything to her family, but she didn't expect that Mr. Li spoke so harshly. Li Xu refused to show up, so she had no choice but to act as a doctor in front of Mrs. Li.
I would like to say something to remind you about the Li family, I hope it will be useful.
