Yuan walked into Shengju and felt dazed for a moment.
The Xie family's building is about to collapse, but Shengju is still as peaceful as before, as if nothing happened.
The maids and wives came and went, each performing their duties. Her daughter-in-law was sitting in the flower hall, drinking tea, with no emotion on her face.
"Chu'er."
Yuanshi walked into the flower hall and sighed.
"Everyone in the capital knows what happened to the He family because the head of the He family took money he shouldn't have. I won't say more." Yun Chu said, "Xie Jingyu did more than just trample In addition to his own conscience, he did not put the lives of so many members of the Xie family in his eyes... After he did such a thing, he still wants the Yun family to plead for him, is it possible? "
Yuanshi's hands were extremely cold.
In the past, Chu'er called Jingyu husband.
But now, something happened to Jing Yu, so she called her husband by his first name without any affection.
"Jingyu did this just for the sake of having so many people in the family." Yuanshi said, "He did it to give your wife dignity, to let you live a life of fine clothing and fine food, for..."
Yunchu picked up the teacup: "I can't control this matter. Tingxue, send your wife out."
Before Yuanshi could say anything, she was invited out by Tingxue.
She stood at the door of Shengju, looking at Yun Chu's figure from a distance, and suddenly felt as if she no longer recognized this daughter-in-law.
Yunchu didn't care at all.
She asked Tingxue and Tingfeng to count all the things in the warehouse and take away everything that belonged to her.
She was keeping the old lady's warehouse for the time being, and she never thought of taking it away. Firstly, she looked down upon it, and secondly, she felt resentful.
If it is left to the Xie family, the Xie family will turn around and give it to the guards at the door to smooth things over...
Yun Chu paused and said, "Tingxue, go and ask Aunt Jiang to come."
Tingxue nodded and immediately went to find Aunt Jiang.
Ever since Xie Jingyu fell ill, Aunt Jiang and Tingyu had taken turns waiting there, and they had lost a lot of weight from exhaustion.
"Meet Madam."
Aunt Jiang bowed her head and saluted.
"Sit down." Yun Chu's attitude was gentle and he even asked for tea.
Aunt Jiang had just heard that her wife had hit a snag with her, but when she saw her being so kind to her, she couldn't help but panic.
"How are you doing, Sister Xian?" Yun Chu asked.
"Sister Xian is learning embroidery after studying. However, since the master fell ill, I have been with you less. I don't know how Sister Xian is doing with her studies."
Yun Chu nodded: "Sister Xian is a good child. I have some things here. You can take them and keep them for Sister Xian. Think of them as the dowry I gave you in advance."
Aunt Jiang was stunned.
When the eldest lady got married before, or married to a prince, the lady didn't even come up with a single dowry.
How old is her sister Xian? She is still more than ten years away from getting married. Why has Madam prepared the dowry so early...
Tingxue brought up the box. It was a very large box, much larger than an ordinary dressing box. Tingxue opened the lid. When she saw the contents inside, Aunt Jiang was stunned again.
There were all jewelry that were familiar to her. There was a set of gold and jade hairdresses that the adults gave to the old lady after she was promoted. There was also a set that the old lady wore on her birthday. There were also some hairpins, hairpins, earrings, bead chains, bracelets... They were all good things that the old lady had saved over the years. Not to mention priceless, they were at least worth three to five thousand taels of silver. For her, an aunt, this was a huge amount of money that she could never dream of.
Madam actually took out all these and gave them to her sister Xian.
"Madam, this, this..."
Yun Chu said: "If you don't accept it, these things will fall into the hands of the guards and jailers."
Aunt Jiang's hands were trembling slightly: "Madam, can I ask you why?"
Yunchu smiled.
why.
It's because in her previous life, before she died, Sister Xian was the only one who hugged her and cried loudly, knocking over the bowl of poison.
It was Sister Xian who made her understand that it wasn't her way of discipline that was wrong, it was that some people were rotten from the root. No matter how they were taught, they were all selfish, cold-blooded monsters.
"Don't let other people know about these things." Yun Chu looked at her and said, "Keep your true feelings and educate Sister Xian well."
Aunt Jiang's voice was trembling: "Madam, are you leaving the Xie family?"
Yunchu didn't answer.
But the answer is already obvious.
Aunt Jiang hugged the box and left Shengju. When she returned to her yard, she called Xie Xian over, opened the box, and said softly: "This is the dowry that Madam has prepared for you. No matter what happens to the Xie family in the future, no matter you No matter what situation your father falls into, with these things prepared by my wife for you, you will not be too bad in the future."
Xie Xian seemed to understand: "My mother loves me very much, I remember it."
"This is our biggest secret, don't tell anyone." Aunt Jiang hugged her daughter, "You have to remember, no matter where you go in the future, you must remember Madam's kindness. If you have the ability, if Madam needs help, so you must spare no effort."
Xie Xian nodded vigorously.
Yunchu asked Qiutong to go outside to inquire about the news.
Qiu Tong has martial arts skills, but the people guarding the door of Xie's Mansion are just pawns. She left Xie's Mansion without any effort, walked around the street, and then came back to report to Yunchu.
"Madam, everyone in the teahouses on the street is talking about the Xie family. They say that after the Xie family married a criminal, they said that the eldest son of the Xie family deceived the king and ignored the emperor, and that Mr. Xie was corrupt and perverted the law. Everyone is looking at the Xie family. Good show."
Yun Chu raised his eyes: "Then how to discuss the Xie family's mistress?"
"They say that the mistress of the Xie family is pitiful. She was deceived by the Xie family." Qiu Tong said carefully, "Everyone is talking about whether the Yun family will use this time to reconcile with the Xie family."
Tingfeng nodded: "Madam, please make peace quickly. It's really unlucky to stay at Xie's house."
Tingxue also followed and said: "The Xie family is ungrateful, corrupt, perverts the law, deceives the emperor, and ignores superiors. Madam, reconciliation is what the people want."
Yun Chu shook his head.
Now the common people say she is pitiful.
But if she really reconciles at this time, then in the eyes of the people, the Xie family will become the weak party, and the Yun family will become the one who adds insult to injury.
People's views on one thing are like the grass on the wall. They will change direction when the wind blows.
She said: "It's not yet time."
Her yard is still being repaired, so it won't hurt to wait a little longer.
The most important thing is that she has to send Xie Jingyu on his last journey...
In the evening, the servants brought the food to the table. Even though the Xie family was in such a state of depression, there was still plenty of food for Yun Chu.
After she finished her meal, she was served to take a bath. She was wearing a gauze dress, leaning on the bed and reading a book.
She suddenly heard something like a sound and said, "Qiu Tong, go out and see what's going on."
She was afraid that the guards guarding outside would sneak into Xie's house at night and do something shameful.
As soon as Qiu Tong stepped out, Yun Chu heard a sound from the window of the house.
She immediately stood up from the bed, quickly put her coat on her shoulders, and took out the dagger from under the pillow.
As soon as he finished this series of actions, he saw a tall figure leaping in through the window...
