41, the original match that cannot be born is finished
Chu Yunli's carriage did not stop when it passed by Lin'an Marquis' Mansion. When she heard the little girl talking about the goings-on in the Marquis' Mansion, she opened the curtain and took a look, feeling calm in her heart.
Speaking of the Hou Mansion becoming what it is today, she was the one who contributed to it. If she hadn't deliberately mentioned that special medicinal material in front of the Queen, the Emperor might not have known what the Marquis of Lin'an had done. Even if there was something wrong with the horse,
I would only think that it was something the barbarians did before selling the horse.
The Marquis of Lin'an was imprisoned and handed over to the Ministry of Punishment for thorough investigation. The Marquis's house was seized and his house was confiscated, and everyone in the house had to move out within three days.
All the land deeds of the Hou Mansion were also confiscated, and what was left was the dowries of the ladies. Among them, because it was found that many of the deeds of items in Mrs. Hou's dowry were not ones that she had reported to the Yamen, so they were all counted as
The property of the Hou Mansion was also confiscated.
Mrs. Hou's dowry was not generous, and she wanted to exchange it with the shop in the Hou Mansion. In the end, she didn't even have a house deed. As for Fu Lanshan, her father was originally the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and he was also a highly valued minister of the emperor. She often used it when she was a child.
She could enter the palace, but later, her father committed a crime and was imprisoned, and her family property was confiscated. Later, she and her mother lived in the Marquis Mansion, and died in depression within a few years. In short, she had no dowry at all.
Some of them were bought by Mrs. Hou for her using the Zhuangzi shop in the Hou Mansion, and they were all confiscated.
In the end, the family had no choice but to move to Zhuangzi in the suburbs where Zhu Manman's dowry was given. She was a concubine, so no matter how favored she was, the dowry would still be purchased by her aunt's mother-in-law. This Zhuangzi was the most valuable thing in her dowry.
It was such a coincidence that this Zhuangzi was right next door to where Chu Yunli raised silkworms. She had lived here for the past year. When she learned that the Hou family had moved next door, Chu Yunli was quite emotional. After all, she couldn't avoid it.
It is said to be Zhuangzi, but it is actually a small courtyard branched off from Chu Yunli's Zhuangzi. The land is only more than one acre. It is actually a bit crowded for their family to live in, but it does not hinder it. If one acre of land is built into a house,
There will be enough room for so many people.
But that was something that happened in the future. On the day we moved in, there was a big quarrel over this room issue. Many people in the village here knew about the past of the host family and the Hou Mansion. At that moment, there were people squatting in the corner and listening to the whole story.
In the evening, Chu Yunli knew the whole story.
Still for the main house, there are two small courtyards over there. The larger one naturally belongs to Mrs. Hou, and the smaller one is the one fighting over.
As the mistress, Fu Lanshan should have done her duty, but this courtyard belonged to Zhu Manman. After she was pregnant last time, she gave birth to a daughter. She was just three months old now. Except for the two main courtyards, the rest of the courtyard was empty.
It's great. To put it bluntly, it's worse than the stable in the Marquis Mansion. Zhu Manman and her children naturally can't live in this kind of house. Besides, the title deed of the yard still belongs to her.
Fu Lanshan took a step back, but that was to give way to the main courtyard. Then coming here in the morning would be like paying regards to Zhu Manman. How could she be willing?
Later, Fu Lanshan still stayed in the main hospital, while Zhu Manman took her children to live with Mrs. Hou.
After moving here, Mrs. Hou went out early and came back late, going into the city every day. A few days later, the little girl came in to report that Mrs. Zhou wanted to visit her.
Chu Yunli remembered in a daze that now she was no longer Mrs. Hou, but just an ordinary Mrs. Zhou. Although the Lin'an Marquis incident did not implicate her family in jail, Zhou Yanqu's official position was suspended. So, now,
Strictly speaking, the Zhou family can no longer be considered a family of officials.
"No!" Chu Yunli refused flatly. She had many things to do and was too lazy to talk to them.
Fu Lanshan also came to ask for an audience, but Chu Yunli still refused.
The next day, Zhu Manman came to the door with her child. When Chu Yunli found out, she originally planned to disappear, but then she remembered something and said, "Invite her in."
When Zhu Manman came in, she held a pink baby in her arms. After entering, she said to Chu Yunli, "I've seen Miss Li."
"I heard that you came to see me for something." Chu Yunli said directly.
Zhu Manman lowered her head, "I heard the news about my wife's unmarried childbirth after listening to Weiyue's words. I didn't expect that the prince and the old lady would come to trouble you. I can't help you."
Micromoon?
I didn't expect this matter to have anything to do with her.
Chu Yunli didn't care. They said there was no airtight wall in the world. Too many people knew about Fu Lanshan's delivery, and sooner or later something would happen. And she was the most suspected, so it was not surprising that she was suspected.
"Is there anything else?" It was obvious that this was not why she came to the door.
Zhu Manman hesitated for a long time, but she didn't expect that Li Ru had nothing to say. She looked impatient. If she continued to hesitate, she would probably chase everyone away. She asked tentatively, "Miss Li, I just want to ask, after the divorce,
, will life be difficult?"
Chu Yunli might as well ask her about this, her mind moved, and she thought of some possibility, and said, "Everyone has a different opinion. That's fine for me. I don't like too complicated relationships, and I prefer to live by myself."
Could it be that you are thinking of leaving the Zhou family?
If true, it would definitely be a big blow to Zhou Yanqu. Now the Zhou family all live in Zhu Manman's yard.
So the meaning of what she said was obvious. It would be fun to wait until the Zhou family moved out of Zhu Manman's yard and had nowhere to go.
Zhu Manman was thoughtful and quickly stood up to leave. Before leaving, she thought of something and turned around, "I know Miss Li is a good person. There is one thing... I found that Madam seems to be paying special attention to you. Now that there are not enough people in the mansion, she went out of her way to
Find someone to watch your whereabouts at the door. There should be no possibility between you and the Crown Prince. This is something we all know. Since it is not for the Crown Prince, I can't think of anything else. Maybe Miss Li can check it out herself.
Let’s explore.”
Chu Yunli thanked her and asked the maid to take her out.
Thinking back carefully, it seems that Fu Lanshan is really targeting her, just for having a child with Zhou Yanqu. If she really wants to get married, although she cannot marry into a prince's family, it is still possible for her to be an ordinary scholar. Today's women, no
There were really few matchmakers, but she secretly had a child with Zhou Yanqu, waiting for the Hou family to kill her and become his stepmother. There might be something wrong with this...
A few days later, the Duke of Zhongding in the capital arrived at the small courtyard in the suburbs. Somehow, Zhou Yanqu had written a letter to release his concubine, and released Zhu Manman free. All the dowry she brought was brought back, and even the child was hers.
.
This is indeed contrary to common sense, but Zhou Yanqu does not dare to argue with Duke Dingguo now. If it is really Duke Ding's request, he can only comply with it.
On the day their family moved out, Chu Yunli stood at the gate and watched. Mrs. Hou had lost her once noble and exquisite makeup and gorgeous clothes, and was wearing ordinary silk and satin.
When he saw Chu Yunli standing at the door, he sneered and got into the carriage.
The wet nurse next to Fu Lanshan was holding the baby. She stared at Zhou Yanqu's face nervously.
Looking at the leisurely Chu Yunli, Zhou Yanqu had a complex expression on his face and said thankfully, "Fortunately, we have reconciled and now you don't have to be implicated."
Chu Yunli shook her finger, "Master Zhou is wrong. Even if we don't reconcile, your family's affairs will not involve me." This is really annoying.
Mrs. Zhou opened the curtain and said, "Yanqu, what nonsense are you talking to such a wolf-hearted person? Just leave now."
Chu Yunli sneered, "If you say the same thing to Mrs. Zhou, how can anyone in the world wait for you to plot your plans? How could you know that it's not retribution for you to be in such a miserable state?"
Five or six carriages headed towards the official road. Fu Lanshan in the carriage had a bitter look on his face, "Qu Lang, do you regret breaking up with her?"
"It's useless to talk about it now." Zhou Yanqu did not answer directly, "We haven't found a place to stay tonight yet."
Fu Lanshan's mind was led astray, and after pondering for a while, she said, "Let's go to the village over there. We have enough money to buy a small courtyard to live in. It's more than enough. My aunt also has to run around for her father-in-law. It's inconvenient to be too far away."
There was silence in the carriage, and Zhou Yanqu closed his eyes and fell asleep. He knew very well in his heart that no matter how hard he ran, the Marquis of Lin'an would not be able to get out. The barbarians had killed too many people of Yan State. They were such a big threat to Yan State at the beginning, and the current emperor was most disgusted.
Those who collude with barbarians will be severely punished. It depends on how serious they are.
If it hadn't been for Heli... at least he wouldn't have been so passive. With as much wealth as the General's Mansion and supporting so many homeless people, he wouldn't have taken his family around to find a place to stay.
The Zhou family moved away, but Zhu Manman stayed. Now she doesn't want to go back to the government, so she stays with Chu Yunli as neighbors and occasionally comes to visit.
Chu Yunli secretly began to investigate Fu Lanshan. After thinking about it carefully, she felt that this person was really targeting her at every turn.
Just at this moment, Prince Jieluo in the palace escaped.
He stabbed the prince and fled in fear of crime. For a time, the capital was heavily guarded, and officers and soldiers patrolling the streets could be seen everywhere. But Prince Jieluo seemed to be missing like water into the sea and could not be found.
Chu Yunli didn't think this matter would have anything to do with her. After all, she didn't know this person at all, and they were all enemies.
However, it might as well be that on the second night after Prince Jieluo escaped, there was a knock on the back door of her suburban courtyard. The person who came was Weiyue, who was in a state of embarrassment and asked to see Chu Yunli for something important.
In the middle of the night, the Zhou family now lives in a village more than ten miles away from here. She must have something important to come here at this time. However, Chu Yunli did not intend to meet, but Weiyue said that she found out that Jie Luo
Traces of the Prince.
In the middle of the night, when the door of the courtyard where the Zhou family lived was knocked open by officers and soldiers, Chu Yunli sat on the horse in front, looking down at Zhou Yanqu who opened the door.
The leading general cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Zhou, Prince Jieluo, who has fled in fear of crime, is now in your courtyard. You must enter and search."
These words were not polite. After saying this, he waved his hand and the officers and soldiers rushed in. Zhou Yanqu was a little confused. When he came to his senses, there was the sound of weapons clashing in the backyard, and soon a noble man in civilian clothes was escorted out.
.
Zhou Yanqu only had two words in his heart: It's over.
His eyes fell on Fu Lanshan, who was frightened and had begun to tremble. He only asked, "I remember you came out to the latrine in the middle of the night last night. I seemed to hear a movement at that time. Why?"
Fu Lanshan's lips trembled, "I didn't mean it. He couldn't leave the palace for so many years because of me. I can't just die without saving him."
Zhou Yanqu looked confused, "Have you known each other for a long time?"
When the officers and soldiers locked up the two of them and sent them to the prison car, Fu Lanshan whispered, "When I was playing crazy in the palace garden and tore the clothes of the concubines, he took the blame for me. Over the years, I
I regret it very much..."
Zhou Yanqu thought of something and asked, "Then you like him? Are you trying to instigate a relationship between me and Yan'er in front of you to avenge him?"
Fu Lanshan lowered his head and didn't answer. It was considered acquiescence.
Originally, the collusion between the Marquis of Lin'an and the barbarians was just his own behavior, and no evidence related to the Hou Mansion was found. Unexpectedly, Prince Jieluo assassinated the prince and escaped, but then defected to the Zhou family, and the Zhou family was willing to take him in. At this point, the Zhou family and the barbarians
The evidence of collusion was conclusive, and the emperor was furious. He personally convicted Fu Lanshan and the male members of the Zhou family who were over fourteen years old, and beheaded them. The female family members and the minor male members were exiled to Qian City for three thousand miles.
Since then, Chu Yunli has never seen Zhou Yanqu and Fu Lanshan again, but heard that they were still blaming and cursing each other when the executioner's sword fell on the day of execution.
Mrs. Zhou was exiled for three thousand miles with her crippled child. It is said that she fell ill while still on the road. Before reaching Qian City, both her grandfather and grandson died of illness.
Chu Yunli remained unmarried all her life. She spent all the money from the General's Mansion to open Ci'an yuan all over the Yan State. When she was forty, the emperor personally named her the first-grade Mrs. Anping. Although she had no children, many people benefited from her kindness.
Someone built a merit temple specifically for her, and people worshiped her for many years. Her legendary life was recorded in the history of Dayan in later generations. She praised the whole family for their loyalty and righteousness, and risked their lives to bring peace to the Yan Kingdom for a hundred years. Even a woman was brave and courageous.
