Chapter 265 Grudges

Qing Xing's face turned pale when she heard this, and then she managed to maintain her composure and replied: "My aunt used to be the eldest girl next to Mrs. Tang Shangshu. Mr. Zeng used to teach girls piano and chess skills in the Tang Dynasty. He often saw my aunt.

.Because I was born like my aunt, I accompanied the girl to school that day. Mr. Zeng became suspicious when he saw me. Later, she asked me to get a book, saying that it was for the girl to read, but actually she wanted to find out about me.

Life story. At that time, I was afraid that if I told the truth, the girl would guess that I was related to He Ying, so I didn’t dare to tell the truth to Mr. Zeng. I just pretended not to know anything. Mr. Zeng didn’t say anything else later, so I just

Think of it as passing by."

it is as expected.

Qin Hanzhen nodded: "People are similar, so you can pretend to be stupid and prevaricate. But your fourth uncle He Xin has probably met the Tang family. He lives in the back street of Houfu, and Mr. Zeng also lives in the backstreet of Houfu.

, the two families may have contacts. You brothers and sisters have recognized each other from the He family. When Mr. Zeng got the letter, he will know that you were lying before. Don't be afraid, go and apologize generously. You

When there was an accident at home, you were still a child. How much can you remember? Mr. Zeng is very well-educated, so he will not care about you too much."

Qingxing agreed, but hesitated to speak.

Qin Hanzhen asked: "What do you want to say?"

Qingxing said dryly: "I'm a little scared...Although Tang Shangshu helped save my grandparents' family property, my father had always betrayed him. It was just good luck that Tang Shangshu was not betrayed.

Someone framed me. Even though I knew in my heart that this matter had something to do with my vicious aunt, but...if my father could control himself, he wouldn't be easily persuaded by that evil woman. Isn't it Tang Shangshu?

He cares about it, that’s because he is generous and benevolent. But other people in the Tang family...presumably they won’t treat our family well, right?"

Qin Hanzhen thought for a while: "Are you worried that the Tang family will embarrass you if they find out about your brothers and sisters? I think they have never cared about your grandparents for so many years, and they have also helped the old man. It shows that they really don't care.

.You don’t have to worry too much. Speaking of which, what happened back then? Your father was his disciple, and according to what you said, he also received great favor from him. Why did he suddenly have different intentions for no reason and want to do something wrong?

Are you helping someone's political opponents to frame them? Your biological mother is a girl from the Tang family, why didn't you try to persuade her?"

Qingxing revealed her recollection: "I can't tell you clearly what happened back then. I was still young at that time. However, He Ying pretended to be chaste, quiet and virtuous in front of outsiders. In fact, she loved being in front of us, mother and son.

Show off. She mentioned some phrases, and I still remember a lot of them. My brother was older at that time and knew more. On the way to Datong, our brother and sister talked about He Ying’s past events, and he actually told her

I told some inside stories."

It's a long story.

He's father had a tutor like Tang Shangshu, and he was a serious Jinshi. He had good talents and abilities, so his official career was relatively smooth. He safely secured a job in Yangzhou Prefecture and took up the post with his family. At first, he

In Yangzhou, we didn't dare to go too far. The cashiers would follow the example of others, and they wouldn't accept anything that shouldn't be collected, so they acted in a safe manner. However, it didn't take long for the wife to mention her daughter's marriage.

At that time, He Ying was thirteen or fourteen years old. She was in the prime of her youth. She was quite pretty and had read a little books since she was a child. She considered herself to be a beautiful woman with both talent and appearance. In Yangzhou Prefecture, Bi De

There were not many girls who fell in love with her. That year, she accidentally went to the temple with her mother to worship Buddha and asked for a fortune teller. The fortune teller said that she would have wealth and a good marriage. After leaving the temple, they met a fortune teller again.

It was also said that He Ying was destined to be rich and powerful, and the hearts of the mother and daughter became alive from then on.

It happened that news came from Beijing that the Crown Prince of the East Palace was about to choose a concubine. In addition to a main concubine, he also had to choose a side concubine as usual. Although the Crown Prince was not in good health at that time, he was not as demanding as he is now.

He can rest and go to court to listen to politics from time to time. The selection of a concubine in the East Palace is a major event for all officials and families. People who are determined to become a dragon and a phoenix, as long as they have a daughter of the right age at home, can't help but think about it. It's just the palace.

The emperor was very cautious about this matter and did not plan to open the draft. Instead, the queen mother and concubines summoned some wealthy officials and officials to select suitable people, and then the emperor made the decision.

The news that He Ying and her daughter received at that time was that although the edict had not yet been issued, the daughter of Tang Shangshu had basically been selected as the crown prince's concubine in the East Palace. However, the choice of the concubine had not yet been decided. The queen mother and concubines in the palace were all

She was very considerate and looked forward to the harmony in the Crown Prince's house. She sent a message privately to the Tang family, asking them to choose a few suitable candidates for the concubines and report to the palace. The Queen Mother and the concubines would see the person they recommended and they would choose them.

Choose a concubine suitable for the prince.

This kind of thing was originally beyond the reach of the He family. But who said that He's father was the favorite disciple of Tang Shangshu? Originally, He's father only planned to be a gossip, and he was also happy for his mentor.

However, He Ying and his daughter were moved. They felt that if He Ying could be the concubine of the East Palace, it would be in line with what the fortune teller and the fortune teller said. To become the concubine of the future emperor, there is nothing better than this in the world.

Is wealth a good marriage? If He Ying is lucky enough to give birth to a son before the daughter of the Tang family, I'm afraid even greater wealth is yet to come.

Because the mother and daughter were in the way of the Tang family, although they did not like Qingxing and Lizi's biological mother Yunjiang, they could only endure it. They thought that if He Ying could be selected into the East Palace and give birth to the emperor's grandson, they would still use it in the future.

Do you have to look at the face of a concubine? When the time comes, they can torture Yun Jiang and the children she gave birth to as they please. I'm afraid even the Tang family will turn around and look at their faces!

For this purpose, He Ying's mother desperately encouraged her husband to write a letter to Tang Shangshu, stating that she was also willing to send a daughter to run for election. Naturally, the banner was that the daughter of the He family would protect her. They talked nicely and chose the daughter of another official family.

, if there is a conflict with the daughter of the Tang family in the future, no matter how good the relationship between the two families is, there will inevitably be constraints. But the daughter of the He family has no such worries, after all, Father He himself is a disciple of Tang Shangshu...

Without waiting for a reply from the Tang family, He Ying's mother and daughter couldn't wait to prepare their bags, and persuaded He's father to return to the capital with their family members in the name of returning to Beijing to report on his work. In order to get more money, help He Ying manage her relationships, and prepare a dowry, He Ying

Ying's mother also encouraged her husband to embezzle a large amount of public funds. They took the money and hurried to the capital, and immediately went to the Tang family's door to ask for an audience. In order to be more sure, He Ying's mother even sent her aunt Yun Jiang to

She also took him with her and told her to speak more kind words for her daughter and to persuade the Tang family to recommend He Ying.

Li Zi couldn't explain exactly what happened on that trip to the Tang family. He only knew that after returning from the Tang family, his aunt made her aunt Yun Jiang kneel down all night with a dark face, and her aunt He Ying almost destroyed her house.

They were all smashed, and they even refused to eat with the door closed. It must be that the trip to the Tang family was not going well, right?

Qingxing vaguely remembered that Aunt Yunjiang complained to the mother-in-law next to her later, saying that the eldest lady was very lax in her rules and acted too openly. Mrs. Tang never liked this kind of temperament. She wanted to choose a girl for her daughter.

I am a docile and honest concubine so that my daughter will not be offended in the future. How could the eldest lady act like this in the eyes of Mrs. Tang? She had given her instructions several times in advance, but the eldest lady ignored her. Now that things are not going well, she blames her for being useless and a waste.

.She used to be just a girl in the Tang family. How could it be her turn to speak out about such a big matter?

It was about this incident that He Ying and her daughter had different feelings. They felt that since the Tang family was unwilling to fulfill He Ying's good marriage, it was no wonder that they were looking for another career. Neither Li Zi nor Qing Xing could remember how their father got married to them.

Tang Shangshu's political rivals got involved. I only remember that during those days, my aunt often took my brothers and sisters out to socialize. My father went to the government more often, but he rarely visited the Tang family. When my father finally

When he visited the Tang family again, news came out that he had been corrupt during his tenure. Soon after, official officials came to arrest the person. They also found letters from his father and Tang Shangshu's political opponents from the study, revealing that he had participated in the other party's frame-up.

Facts about Tang Shangshu’s plan.

If Father He's betrayal hadn't been confined to letters and not taken into action, the reaction from the Tang family would have been even more intense. The eldest daughter of the Tang family will soon marry into the East Palace and become the crown prince and his wife.

, the political opponent did not want to see the Tang family gain such benefits, so he hurriedly set up a trap to harm people, and exposed his feet in a hurry, implicating He's father. Tang Shangshu probably also thought that this disciple was temporarily confused and was killed.

He would be merciful only if he had taken advantage of him. But the betrayal was always a fact, and He's father had indeed embezzled tens of thousands of taels of public funds. It was impossible for Tang Shangshu to lend a helping hand to save him. He could protect his father and mother's ancestors in his hometown.

Zhaitiandi is already a rare kind person.

Qingxing said to Qin Hanzhen with tears in her eyes: "Look, girl, if it weren't for He Ying who was too high-spirited and thought about marrying into the East Palace, how could this disaster have happened? My aunt originally thought that they just wanted to follow the dragon and the phoenix.

When Mrs. Tang hit a snag, she naturally gave up the idea. She didn't even know about the corruption incident. How could she have thought of the later incident? She didn't know that her father had betrayed Tang Shangshu until an official came to her house and found the letters.

She cried like someone at the thought of her. She went to the Tang family to beg Mrs. Tang before, and since then she has no shame to mention it. If she hadn't thought about us brothers and sisters, she would have been afraid that we would be in the hands of our legitimate mother and brothers.

After suffering a loss, she wished she could hang herself with a piece of white silk. When she was in prison, the sister who used to serve Mrs. Tang with her came to visit her and asked her if she was willing to go out. If she nodded, Mrs. Tang would

She would think of ways to recruit people to rescue her. After all, she was just a concubine, and it would not be difficult to save her. But the aunt was really too embarrassed to see her old master, so she rejected the sister's kindness. She knew that she was seriously ill, but she still followed her despite her illness.

My father went on the road and died on the road..."

Qin Hanzhen couldn't help but sigh, and said to Qingxing: "Your mother is a righteous person. You brothers and sisters can just call her mother from now on. Anyway, there are no aunts and concubines here. I think your mother is better than He's mother."

It's even more admirable. It's a pity that I didn't meet a good husband. When your father was persuaded by your aunt, he must have been avoiding her. Otherwise, how could your mother not know about it? If you still remember where she is buried

, if there is a chance in the future, let’s take her bones back.”

Qingxing choked and nodded: "I will, I still remember where she is buried. I want to take her and her father's remains back and send them back to their hometown in the south. No matter what, I can't let them be orphans outside."

The wild ghost..."
