Yuanshi fell silent immediately.
Why didn't she go to Yun Chu, but Yun Chu refused, what else could she do...
She couldn't force Yunchu to take out her dowry. If word spread, would the Xie family still have the dignity to behave?
Moreover, although she was the mother-in-law, she was a little afraid of Yun Chu, the daughter-in-law. As long as Yun Chu turned cold, she would not dare to speak.
"Chu'er will naturally look for it." Xie Zhongcheng said coldly, "Now I let you get the money, as much as you have. When the Xie family gets out of this predicament, I won't treat you badly in the future."
Tingyu bit her lip.
Over the years, she had saved some money, which was only seven or eight hundred taels of silver. After saving for so many years, if she was asked to take it all out at once, she couldn't do it.
She paused and said, "When the old lady passed away, there were still many good things in the warehouse. Now we can use them to meet urgent needs."
When talking about the old lady's relics, Aunt Jiang's face became a little tense.
She was afraid that Xie's family would discover that the old lady's belongings were missing, and that they would misunderstand that the lady had taken them away...
While she was thinking about it, a voice suddenly came from outside.
"It's bad, sir, madam, something big happened, it's bad!"
Xie Zhongcheng's face darkened: "What maid without eyes, what's wrong, we are doing very well, the Xie family is doing very well, it will definitely get better!"
Tingyu knew who it was as soon as he heard the voice, and said, "It's Tingfeng who is next to Madam."
Before Xie Zhongcheng could tell someone to come in, Tingfeng stumbled in.
His face became even more ugly. This daughter-in-law really paid less and less attention to him as a father-in-law. The maid around him didn't know the rules!
"My lord, my lord, something happened!"
Yuanshi hurriedly supported Tingfeng: "Tell me slowly, what happened to my lord? What happened?"
"No, I'm out of breath." Tingfeng cried loudly, "My lord, I'm out of breath. Come on, sir, madam, go and have a look!"
Yuanshi felt dizzy and almost fell down.
Several aunts in the room were shocked, and everyone had disbelief on their faces.
A group of people quickly stood up and ran towards the yard where Xie Jingyu lived.
When you walk to the door of Xie Jingyu's yard, you can smell the extremely strong aroma of wine. Stepping in, you can see that there are wine jars everywhere at the door of the house.
Yunchu was standing on the steps of the house, his face as pale as paper.
Without even looking at her, Xie Zhongcheng walked into the room and looked at the person lying on the couch.
"Jingyu! Jingyu!"
Xie Zhongcheng did not dare to step forward and shouted twice, but the person on the bed did not respond at all.
Yuan rushed directly to the bed and held Xie Jingyu's hand, and then her tears fell uncontrollably.
"Jingyu, mother is here, mother is here..." Yuanshi choked with tears, "Open your eyes and see if mother is okay, don't leave us alone..."
Several aunts also rushed over.
Aunt Jiang's face was full of disbelief: "Sir, wake up, why did you just leave like this..."
Aunt Tao cried loudly: "Sir, what will happen to Brother Kang when you leave? He is still waiting for your father to ask a miracle doctor to treat him..."
Tingyu's voice was choked with sobs: "Sir, the doctor said you cannot drink because of your illness. Why did you..."
Xie Zhongcheng turned around suddenly and looked at Yun Chu who was standing outside: "What the hell is going on?!"
"My husband... he couldn't accept the current situation, so he drank to relieve his sorrow." Yun Chu closed his eyes, "Wine can relieve sorrow, but it can also kill you."
"As a wife, why don't you persuade him?" Xie Zhongcheng was furious and staggered against the door, "With Jingyu dead, our Xie family is finished... Why, why, why does God do this to our Xie family... …”
There is still a glimmer of hope for people to live.
When a person dies, there is nothing left...
The Xie family is really going to end.
Yunchu walked up the steps.
"Stop!" Xie Zhongcheng stopped her, "Your husband is dead, where do you want to go now?"
"The gate of Xie's family is heavily guarded. How should I hold a funeral?" Yun Chu said in a cold voice, "Or do you think your son embezzled the official bank of the Ministry of Household Affairs and made a big mistake, so he does not deserve to hold a funeral?"
Xie Zhongcheng looked embarrassed: "When a person dies, it's like a light goes out. No matter what he did wrong, it will be wiped out by God. Of course, he must be buried according to normal rules."
Yun Chu didn't reply and walked towards the gate of Xie's mansion.
After Qin Mingheng was taken away by the officers and soldiers, she put on a dark cloak and prepared to leave the house, but was delayed by Xie Jingyu.
This night seems to be extremely long, and it's only just past midnight.
She walked to the door of Xie's Mansion and asked Duoxi, the boy next to her, to open the door. As soon as the door opened, two spears blocked the door.
Two guards stood guard on both sides of the door, with cold expressions on their faces: "The imperial court has decreed that no one from the Xie family can enter this door!"
Duoxi walked forward with a hunched waist and said with a playful smile: "You two officials, please be alright. Our madam has some important things to take care of. Please be accommodating and make sure you come back before dawn..."
As he spoke, he secretly stuffed two heavy money bags into the guard's hands.
The two guards were about to weigh how much money they had when they suddenly heard the word "Madam" and quickly looked at Yun Chu's face.
Although it was night and the woman was wearing a black cloak, she could still vaguely see her stunning appearance.
The two guards looked at each other and quickly threw the money bag back into Duo Xi's arms: "It turns out to be Mrs. Xie, please!"
Someone from above had ordered that all Xie family members were not allowed to come in or out, except Mrs. Xie.
Yun Chu guessed that these might be the guards led by her father's deputy general, so they would not embarrass her.
She nodded her thanks and walked out of Xie's house.
After the curfew, cars and horses were prohibited from traveling on the roads in the capital. Yun Chu walked on his feet for about half an hour before reaching the gate of Prince Pingxi's Mansion.
If her father was still in the capital, the matter regarding Xuanwu Marquis Qin Mingheng could be left to her father to handle.
Now that things are urgent, I can only seek help from this prince.
I hope that their little friendship will allow the prince to agree to her request.
When Yunchu walked up the steps of the palace, the two guards at the door had been staring at her for a long time. When they saw her coming up, they immediately pointed their spears at her.
"Yun Chu, the eldest daughter of the Yun clan, has something important to do and asks to see King Ping Xi late at night. Please go in and report it."
Xuanwu Hou Qin Mingheng escaped on the road to exile. After being captured, he would definitely be tortured. She was afraid that Qin Mingheng would not be able to withstand the torture of the Eighteenth National Congress.
She was worried that Qin Mingheng would not be able to see the sun tomorrow, and she was afraid that she would never know what happened that night...
Therefore, she begged to come to her at an inopportune time just after midnight.
The two guards glanced at her and recognized that she was indeed the Yun family's daughter, Mrs. Xie.
They all knew that the prince and General Yun had a close friendship. If the Yun family girl came to ask for help in the middle of the night, there must be something important.
But at this time, the prince had already fallen asleep. They rushed in to report and woke up the prince. If the prince was angry, they could not bear the consequences.
