When needed, Haitang can always make people happy with her sweet words.
In the eyes of her elders, she is now a well-behaved, sensible, smart and cute little girl who learns everything quickly, is considerate in everything she does, and never makes them angry. The elders looked at her and their hearts softened. How could they be so embarrassed?
She acted like a good sister in front of Xie Wenzai, and she cleverly waited on him to take off his coat and boots, pour tea and water to light the brazier. Because she was worried that he had not eaten well for lunch, she also asked the kitchen to make him hot noodle soup for sex. Even though he felt that the little girl's family didn't need to know so many things, his mouth relaxed unconsciously.
Of course, the most important thing is that after learning that the lady from the Zhenguo Palace revealed Jin Jiashu's "life experience" and the truth about the fire in Kunning Palace to the two children of the Hai family, Xie Wenzai felt that there was little point in keeping it secret. As long as the two children don't talk nonsense, it's okay for him to chat more with his family. There were some things he couldn't say in front of the people in the Zhenguo Palace, but he could still say a few words to two children who knew how to measure things.
In Xie Wenzai's mind, it seemed that the secrets of the Du Boqin family, Zhou Shuyi's betrayal, and the Sun family's conspiracy against the Zhou family were more important. He didn't plan to talk too much about this topic with Haitang, but he didn't have so many taboos about the Jin family.
So Haitang knew that her brother and sister had guessed correctly before. Most of Jin Jiashu's "life experience" was mentioned in the letter by the Empress Dowager Zhou, and some were supplemented by Jin Jiashu's recent writings.
Empress Dowager Zhou said in the letter that Concubine Xu Xian was sad that her sister died of a sudden illness after leaving the palace safely. She was even more angry that her brother-in-law left the capital without even saying hello, and did not even tell her where her sister was buried. Later, she sent someone to her hometown to inquire about the news. I also heard rumors that my brother-in-law remarried and treated his eldest son poorly. For this reason, Concubine Xu Xian had no intention of letting the Jin family take advantage of her, and quietly sent people to move her parents' graves.
But her nephew was her sister's flesh and blood after all. No matter how angry she felt with the Jin family, she could not leave Jin Jiashu alone. So she secretly sent someone to deliver some things to her nephew, and asked her sister's close wet nurse Haosheng to take care of the child.
Unexpectedly, Concubine Sun would discover this matter. Concubine Sun's hatred for Concubine Xu Xian deepened day by day, and it hindered the emperor. She did not dare to do anything to the eighth prince, so she had to find other ways to take revenge on Concubine Xu Xian. When she learned that Concubine Xu Xian was related by marriage to the Jin family, and that Concubine Xu Xian also had a nephew among them, she felt that this was the best tool for revenge. Because the Jin family is not blood relatives of Concubine Xu Xian, Jin Juren still renewed their relationship, and they have nothing to do with Concubine Xu Xian. Even if she kills all the Jin family, the emperor will not do anything to her, but Concubine Xu Xian will be sad and sad because her nephew is implicated, which makes people feel happy just thinking about it!
As soon as Concubine Sun made any move, someone would report the news to the emperor. The emperor still couldn't bear to punish his former beloved concubine. He only thought that she went crazy because she was too sad after losing her son, so he just gave her a few warnings.
Concubine Xu Xian did not dare to be careless and went to the Empress Dowager Zhou to ask for help. The Empress Dowager Zhou wrote a handwritten letter and asked Chengenhou to send someone to Jin Juren's house, and ordered the latter to take the letter to the Duke of Zhen Guo to seek help from the Zhou family. shelter. As long as the Jin family stays temporarily in Chang'an for a few years, they don't have to worry about the Sun family's evil hands. When the situation stabilizes, whether Jin Juren goes to Beijing to take the exam or returns to his hometown, it will be up to him.
Empress Dowager Zhou believes that when the new king succeeds to the throne, nothing will happen to the Sun family. Xinjun's aunt's ex-husband and son can naturally live in Beijing with peace of mind.
According to Jin Jiashu's side, Jin Juren was very unwilling, but he was also afraid that the Sun family would really come to visit him, so he hesitated for a long time before choosing to leave. However, as soon as he set off, the second brother-in-law of the Jin family got the news and chased him with his family. They were afraid that after he left, they would become the target of the Sun family's anger, so they followed him no matter what.
But halfway through, they encountered heavy snowfall for days and began to retreat. Not only did they not want to continue on their way, they also held Jin Juren back and urged him not to go any further. Anyway, they had already left their hometown, and the Sun family couldn't find them, so they settled down there, which was the same thing. Jin Juren had gold in his hands and didn't have to worry about his livelihood at all. Why did he have to go as far as Chang'an?
The second roommate of the Jin family also blamed Jin Juren for marrying the wrong wife, causing enemies like the Sun family, and bringing bad luck to the entire clan. They asked Jin Juren to compensate for the loss of his family when they left their hometown, and their purpose was to get the gold in his hands.
Of course it was impossible for Jin Juren to hand over the gold, but he was smarter than the people in the second room and knew that finding a place to settle down was far less safe than going to Chang'an. If he left his hometown and didn't have to worry about the Sun family's revenge, why would the Queen Mother Zhou let him go all the way to Chang'an? That's naturally because the Zhou family in Chang'an are the enemies of the Sun family, so there is no need to worry about the Sun family daring to hurt anyone there! For this reason, Jin Juren made up his mind to go to Chang'an.
The second brother of the Jin family refused to go forward, and made a fuss and refused to let Jin Juren leave. Even his wife helped the second brother to speak, and the younger son cried all day long and refused to go on the road in the heavy snow. In desperation, Jin Juren had no choice but to scare his wife, saying that the gold would be left to his son and shared with his second wife, and the mother and son would suffer. Jin Juren's wife finally calmed down and took the initiative to comfort her youngest son. The whole family ran away without telling the Jin family's second wife.
In order not to arouse the suspicion of his second wife and hinder his family's journey, Jin Juren even left his bulky luggage and most of the carriage at the inn. Only a family of four plus a few confidants, along with their belongings and a light carriage, set out on the road.
Unexpectedly, the second roommate of the Jin family became resentful because of this. When the Sun family's killers found them, they took the initiative to reveal Jin Juren's travel plans, and even told them who he might find to help send messages to the Zhenguo government after he went to Chang'an. As a result, the Sun family's killers knew the whereabouts of the Jin family and were able to catch up with them.
However, when the killers caught up with the Jin family, the latter had already entered Chang'an City and were about to go directly to the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion. In order to lure people out of the city to kill, the killers used a strategy to deliberately talk in the inn where Jin Juren was staying, coaxing him to change his mind and go out of the city to find an old military advisor as an introducer. There was only one main road from Chang'an City to Lao Lao Zhuangzi where the old military advisor lived. The killers had already explored the places on the way that were suitable for ambush and killing, and were able to successfully deal with the Jin family.
It's a pity that the Hai family happened to be passing by and brought so many people with them. The killers were sure that they had wiped out all the Jin family members. In order to avoid causing trouble, they quickly fled the scene, leaving Jin Jiashu with a glimmer of hope.
Later, Zhang Pinggui confessed the story of how the second room of the Jin family sold out the eldest member, and how the killers deceived the Jin family out of the city. Combined with what Jin Jiashu explained earlier, the whole incident can be considered clarified.
After Xie Wenzai found out, he could only sigh, people's hearts are sinister. Jin Juren mistrusted someone and ruined his family's lives. Fortunately, the righteous servant was loyal and saved his eldest son, who happened to be Concubine Xu Xian's nephew. The Sun family did evil but missed the rightful owner. It can only be said to be God's will.
But Zhang Pinggui also regrets one thing. They were originally ordered to search for an imperial edict from the Jin family. Unfortunately, they searched through the corpses and luggage of Jin Juren's family and never found the target. However, the Hai family was about to arrive, so they could only leave in a hurry. But without this imperial edict, it would be difficult for them to return to Beijing to resume their duties. Just when they found out, they found out that the eldest son of the Jin family was alive. They guessed that he must know where the Holy Purpose was, so they came to kill him and find something. Unexpectedly, they were caught and almost the entire army was destroyed, forcing Zhang Pinggui to hastily start the second assassination mission in advance.
He was very upset!
