Everyone didn't expect that the Yue family would have such courage, but it was understandable. After all, whose daughter, who had grown up pampered and pampered, could not be angry when she got married and was humiliated and let down? Originally, it was the Zou family who was in the wrong. His son and his sister-in-law died in love, so why should the innocent young lady whom he had only married for half a year be left a widow for him? Pooh! Is he worthy? !
So the incident of the uncle and sister-in-law who committed suicide in love added another topic to the discussion: the wife of the second young master who committed suicide in love has severed ties with her husband's family!
Because of Zou Hongyi, the Zou family has become notorious. Everyone can understand what Yue Shichu did, and no one with Mary's disease came out to say that she went too far.
The Murong family was even more miserable. Their family had a daughter who was restless and had an affair with her brother-in-law. The girls of the Murong family were in a miserable state. They suddenly became synonymous with being promiscuous, lewd and despicable. Several of them were already married. They were even divorced, and for those who were engaged but not married, the man immediately sent someone to break off the engagement... In this era where women were already extremely strict, their lives were basically ruined. Murong Liu harmed People are not shallow.
After Murong Liu's body was brought back that day, the Murong family members wanted to beat her body. She had done such a scandal. It was kind of the Murong family not to throw her into a mass grave. How could they do anything to her? Funeral, beautiful burial? Therefore, the Murong family only bought the cheapest thin coffin, found a random plot of land, and buried her secretly while it was dark. After that, they wanted to erase all traces of her existence because she was a shame to the family.
The servants of the Zou family have to be secretive and secretive when going out to buy things these days. They don't dare to reveal their identity, for fear of being pointed out and said: "Ah! So your master is Uncle Yongan, whose brother-in-law is having an affair with his sister-in-law. Mansion? Tsk tsk..." Isn't this extremely embarrassing?
However, the situation of these families has nothing to do with Yue Shichu. She returned to Yue's family with her dowry. Yue Zhonglou was afraid that she would still be sad about this incident, so he tried his best to make her happy. , such as asking a theater troupe to come back to sing for her, asking Xiu Niang to make clothes for her, and asking jewelry stores in the capital to deliver the jewelry to her door for her to choose the jewelry she likes...
With such a pampered brother, Yue Shichu was extremely happy.
"Brother, you should quickly sell your vacation and go back to pay for it. If you stay at home like this, you will lose all your errands." When Yue Shichu saw that Yue Zhonglou had been staying with her at home these past few days, he kindly said to him.
"No, your majesty is kind. He sympathized with me after hearing about my sister and specifically allowed me to take a few days off." Yue Zhonglou touched Yue Shichu's head and said.
"Does Your Majesty know about Zou Hongyi's scandal?" Yue Shichu was very surprised, "Isn't it brother that you told him on purpose?"
Yue Zhonglou glanced sideways at his sister and said, "This is not a good thing. Do I need to tell His Majesty? Don't underestimate Your Majesty. The story of Zou Hongyi and Murong Liu's death for love has caused a lot of noise in the capital. , It is difficult for Your Majesty not to know."
"Oh." Yue Shichu recalled the current emperor and found that he had no impression of him. However, she did not have a good impression of this emperor now. After all, in the plot of the original world, Zou Hongyi forged evidence that the original owner's father had collaborated with the enemy and treason, and the emperor said nothing. The original owner's natal family was exterminated. Although the culprit was Zou Hongyi, the emperor, who was trusting of sycophants, suspicious and unkind, was also an accomplice.
Yue Shichu talked hard and finally convinced Yue Zhonglou to let him go back for duty the next day.
She herself disguised herself as a young man, took her maid Zhichun, and went shopping openly and openly.
"Miss, wouldn't it be good for us to come out like this?" Zhichun awkwardly tugged on the book boy's clothes on his body. Yue Shichu was now disguised as a man, and her maid would naturally become a book boy.
"What's wrong? We don't do anything evil. We just changed our identities as men for convenience. Don't worry too much. It's okay." Yue Shichu comforted her.
"But I'm afraid I won't pretend to be a man." Zhichun is a gentle and graceful girl, not very courageous. This time when Yue Shichu asked her to dress up as a man, she felt very nervous and felt uncomfortable everywhere.
"Just follow me and learn from me. Walk a little wider and speak a little louder..." Yue Shichu gave instructions, but when she saw that Zhichun couldn't change his habitual small steps, she panicked and even moved her hands. He couldn't help but rub his forehead and said, "Forget it, forget it, if you don't pretend to be different, stop pretending. At most, when others see you, they will think that I am a little playboy with my beloved daughter. It’s no big deal if a maid dressed as a man comes out to play.”
"They are all useless slaves." Zhichun felt very guilty.
"It's okay, don't force it." Yue Shichu was not a harsh master. Zhichun had never received any training on disguise. It was normal that he couldn't pretend to be a man now, but she still reminded, "From now on, you can't call me Eldest lady, you must call me Second Young Master, I am now Yue Chongyang, the Second Young Master of the General’s Mansion, do you understand?”
"Yes, Second Young Master." Zhichun answered cleverly.
Yue Shichu was immediately satisfied.
"Second Young Master, where are we going now?" Zhichun asked.
"I heard that there is a lotus pond that stretches for ten miles on the outskirts of Xicheng City. Now is the time when the lotus flowers are in full bloom. Why don't we go boating to enjoy the lotus ponds?" Yue Shichu had an idea and remembered what the little actress from the theater troupe said two days ago. The guests invited them to sing in the lotus pond.
"Is this... okay? I heard that many people go to the lotus pond. What if something happens accidentally, such as falling into the pond?" Zhichun asked worriedly as he thought a little too much.
"I know how to swim, don't worry, if you fall too, I'll save you." Yue Shichu patted her on the shoulder and said.
Seeing that she was determined to enjoy the lotus, Zhichun had no choice but to think that she would follow the lady closely and not let anything happen to her.
This ten-mile lotus pond is actually the garden of Princess Dachang, the aunt of the current emperor. It was not open to the public in the past and was only used for the couple to play. However, Princess Dachang’s consort betrayed her and secretly built an outer room outside. Princess Dachang was very angry. After divorcing the consort, the late emperor was also angry that the consort's family dared to disrespect the princess, so he dismissed the family from office and drove them back to their hometown.
The lotus pond used to be a symbol of the love between Princess Dachang and her husband. However, after being betrayed, Princess Dachang never came to the lotus pond again. After she passed away, her descendants did not want the beauty of the lotus pond to be abandoned, so they opened it to the public. play.
Of course, the only people who come here to enjoy the lotus leisurely are the wealthy and wealthy princes and nobles. The common people are too busy to earn money, so how can they have the time to enjoy the scenery? Therefore, the opening of the lotus pond was an advantage for the nobles.
