Chapter 527: Who doesn’t have a few relatives?
Liu Mingzhi coughed and almost didn't take a breath, looking at Qi Ya's profile with some confusion.
All because Qi Ya was too calm, as if she just said a trivial matter.
With a single word, the whole family was wiped out.
Sister, this is a disaster that will destroy the family, not a child playing house. Can you please be a little more expressive?
However, Young Master Liu was disappointed. Qi Ya's expression was extremely indifferent, without the slightest trace of sadness or sadness, just like a passerby who had nothing to do with her.
Such a reaction left Liu Mingzhi speechless, and he really didn't know how to continue talking about this topic.
"Do you think I'm a little cold-blooded? I'm indifferent even though my husband's family was wiped out."
You still know, sister.
"No, I just feel that eldest sister, you are a little too calm, as if your family has been wiped out... That's not right. Although the Minister of Rites is not as noble as the three ministers of the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Hubu, it is still Didn't Your Majesty say anything when a second-rank official in the court was exterminated? Good or bad, the Lu family should be treated justly."
Liu Mingzhi learned from Zhu Run that Qi Ya's husband's family was a minister, second only to the two prime ministers and ministers.
Qi Ya smiled sadly when he heard this: "Your Majesty destroyed it."
"Your Majesty... your Majesty destroyed it? Could it be that the Lu family rebelled? But rebellion is a serious crime against the nine clans. How did you..."
Liu Mingzhi didn't ask, he knew that Qi Ya understood what he meant.
You are the young lady of the Lu family. How did you survive when the Lu family was wiped out?
There are too many strange things here that cannot be explained at all.
"I don't know either. Before my sedan chair entered the door, more than 70 members of the Lu family, old and young, were already being escorted to the prison. As for the charges, there are various theories."
"Where's the brother-in-law? Shouldn't he go to welcome the bride? Didn't he survive the disaster?"
"I went, but what passed was not a human, but a rooster."
Rooster? Liu Mingzhi was stunned and thought carefully about the reason for the rooster's marriage.
"Is he...?"
Qi Ya nodded calmly: "It is said that he is a sick man. I think it is not groundless. Otherwise, if you don't get married, you will have to use a rooster instead."
Liu Mingzhi sighed helplessly: "This matter is too complicated. I was a little confused after hearing it."
Qi Ya looked at Liu Mingzhi calmly: "What's complicated? I promised a sick husband, but their family was wiped out before we got married. Isn't this a simple matter?"
"It is indeed easy to understand what you said, but based on my understanding of my father-in-law, my father-in-law is not the kind of person who sacrifices his daughter's happiness for the sake of clinging to high branches. Although the two of them hardly see each other now, there is no news. I don’t know, either. In that case, why would my father-in-law marry the Lu family as the Qin and Jin brothers?"
"The marriage was not arranged by my father, but by my great-uncle."
"In this case, your uncle must know the situation of Mr. Lu, why would he push you into the fire pit?"
"Marriage!"
"Uh...okay!"
"I have quietly inquired about it over the years. It seems that the Lu family's annihilation has something to do with the King of Shu. However, many people have never mentioned this matter. In addition, when they see me, I am like a flood of wild beasts. In fact, I have not heard any news. .”
"King of Shu? Could it be that in the 20th year of Xuande's reign, the third prince Li Yunlong was demoted as king of Shu?"
"maybe!"
"So, doesn't the Lu family become the abandoned sons of the King of Shu? It seems that many people were implicated because of that incident."
Qi Yaying pursed her lips: "Have you heard about this too?"
"I've heard about it! The details are not very clear, but it is said that the King of Shu was more favored than His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the early years. Many ministers sided with the King of Shu. Could it be your uncle?"
"Well, my uncle's name is Shang Yu and Xia Yuan Chao. You should know him!"
"Yu Yuanchao? Mr. Yu, the Chief Minister of Sinong?"
"Yes, my grandpa's brother, my great-uncle. After the sedan chair came to Beijing, I was almost taken to the prison to await trial. It was he who begged for mercy that saved me from disaster. It was also he who persuaded my grandpa to coerce my father into agreeing to this marriage with the Lu family. He also saved my life, do you think I should hate him or thank him?"
Liu Mingzhi pondered for a moment: "Hate, eldest sister, it's not me who said bad things about him, but that old guy Yu Yuanchao has a sinister look, and at first glance he looks like a cunning guy, not a good guy."
Qi Ya's few words and a few guesses from what he heard could give him a rough estimate.
When the King of Shu did not belittle the land of Shu, the holy family was prosperous and the emperor had not appointed a crown prince, many people sided with the third prince who was deeply favored by the emperor.
The same is true for Qi Ya's great-uncle Yu Yuan, who chose a marriage in order to win over the Lu family, the former Minister of Rites.
Qiya is the victim.
Although Qi Run was unwilling, he had to agree to the marriage due to pressure from his father-in-law.
Coupled with Yu Yuanchao's sweet words of praise, it created a tragedy.
Liu Mingzhi sighed. His father-in-law Qi Run was good at everything, but he lacked a backbone. If he had been a little tougher, maybe Qi Ya would not have been so miserable.
Sangmenxing, how many people can accept this title calmly.
Needless to say, some thoughtful people must have blamed Qi Ya, a young lady who had never married, for the Lu family's destruction in order to cover up the truth.
Even, Liu Mingzhi narrowed his eyes, it was not impossible that this person did not rule out Emperor Li Zheng's operation.
In order to save the royal family's face, the Lu family and some ministers became the scapegoats for the disaster in the 20th year of Xuande.
But in the final analysis, the culprit of this matter is still Yu Yuanchao.
Hearing Liu Mingzhi cursing his uncle, Qi Ya chuckled instead of getting angry.
Liu Mingzhi rarely saw Qi Ya's knowing smile. This should be the first time she showed such a knowing smile.
"Sister, the past is like smoke, the past is past, people have to look forward!"
Qi Ya sighed: "I can't see it anymore. Sangmen Xing is not welcomed by anyone wherever he goes. This life is over, and if we don't talk about the next life, a life of suffering is enough."
"this............."
Liu Mingzhi was silent. Don't tell her to be kind without her suffering.
What qualifications do I have to comfort Qi Ya, a miserable person!
No wonder Qi Yun kept silent and never mentioned anything about her sister Qi Ya. There was nothing to mention about the past, it only added to the sadness.
After walking for some time, Qi Ya stopped before a house.
Liu Mingzhi was stunned for a moment and looked at the house in front of him blankly. It was neither very big nor very small as soon as he entered the house, but this was not the house of his father-in-law Qi Run.
Could it be.........Yes!
Liu Mingzhi looked at the mansion in front of him and felt a little scared. He always felt that the mansion in front of him was no different from the legendary haunted house.
Qi Ya took out a key from her arms and gently opened the copper lock on the door: "Wait a moment, I will light the lamp."
"Okay...ok!"
The sun was setting and twilight was falling. Liu Mingzhi always felt chills all over his body. He raised his head and looked at the mansion in front of him. He was suddenly stunned when he saw that the plaque on the mansion was actually a blank plaque.
"Do you want it to be so scary?"
Halfway through the tea time, Qi Ya came out carrying a red lantern: "Come in!"
Gudu, Young Master Liu swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "Sister, let's forget it. In fact, it doesn't hurt me!"
Qi Ya looked at Liu Mingzhi calmly: "Are you afraid?"
"How is that possible? What do I have to be afraid of? Who doesn't have a few relatives down there!"
