As soon as Wen Tingyuan left, the Qiao family was sealed off.
I couldn't find out the specific situation at all. I only knew that Qiao Weisheng, Qiao Weipeng and Xu went to attend the funeral as usual. In the middle of the afternoon, a pair of people suddenly came and surrounded the Qiao family.
After an hour, Mrs. Xu returned home, but the two gentlemen were still left in the palace, wondering what the situation was.
When Qiao Yuyan heard the news, she almost fainted.
Now there is no one in the family to ask. Wen Qiongyu is still in the palace, Wen Tingyuan has left again, and Wen Shoudi has been busy outside these days, taking care of everything, like a spinning top.
There were a group of women and children at home, and we had to wait for them to come back home before we could get any news.
Pinlan, who has always been steady and mature, was extremely anxious at this time. Her whole family was still in the Qiao family. If such a family failed, those servants would have the fate of being sold out.
What can you do if you buy it back halfway? No one will be reassured at all.
What's more, few people can buy back their whole family, and the wife and children will inevitably be separated.
Qixi came from Jiangzhou with Qiao Yuyan. At this time, she was relatively calm. While asking Pinlan to go down and rest, she and Grandma Wang looked after Qiao Yuyan.
Grandma Wang is Qiao Yuyan's wet nurse. When she saw her girl's dull look, she felt distressed, "My girl, don't be like this. Now you are a aunt, and you are not a member of the Qiao family. Sometimes, on the contrary,
Can make you stronger.
The old slave looks at me. Although my uncle is not the old lady’s biological son, he can still talk to me. The old lady will not ignore you. When the eldest master and the old lady come later, you can go and beg for help.
Take care of yourself in the court."
Qiao Yuyan's eyes were red, she gritted her teeth but did not shed a single tear, "My father never formed cliques in the court, and worked conscientiously as his minister of etiquette, let alone my second uncle.
In such a position, I can refuse invitations to drink with my colleagues at any time. I am very honest and responsible. If it is for their own affairs, nothing will happen. If it is for..."
When she thought about that matter, her heart couldn't help but beat fast, and then she thought that if it was for that matter, the Wen family wouldn't be able to escape!
Thinking of this, Qiao Yuyan immediately stood up and said, "Qixi Festival, mama, find some little girls to call the fourth wife, the fifth wife, the second grandma and the third grandma to the meeting hall, saying that I have something urgent to discuss with you.
"
When Grandma Wang and Qixi saw that her expression suddenly became nervous, they did not dare to be careless and immediately ordered a few maids to call for someone.
Pinlan had already come in at this time, her eyes still red, "Madam, I'll go with you as a servant."
Qiao Yuyan looked at her and finally nodded in agreement, "Okay! Go wash your face and don't let anyone see it."
Qixi saw her looking at him and said very seriously: "Madam, just go, there are me and grandma in the house!"
Qiao Yuyan went to the big cloak by herself, took the stove and went out.
The maids and wives in the meeting hall did not expect that anyone would come over in the afternoon and were hurriedly lighting the stove. Qiao Yuyan paid no attention to them and sat down on the chair where they usually talked about things, closing her eyes and meditating.
Mrs. Chu lives closest to here and was the first to arrive. As soon as she saw Qiao Yuyan, she asked, "But is it about the sixth aunt's family?"
Qiao Yuyan was a little surprised. It seemed that the Chu family had helped manage the family affairs for so many years, but they had their own tricks. They usually behaved silently, but in fact they were very excited.
Qiao Yuyan nodded, "Yes, and no, wait until they come together!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Wen and Mr. Lin came together.
Mrs. Wen always wears plain clothes, which is not necessarily a big deal. Mrs. Lin is always full of bookishness. In the past, Mrs. Wen thought that she was unlucky to dress plainly all day long, so she deliberately changed into bright colors.
Wearing plain clothes today looks more elegant.
When Mrs. Lin came back here for the first time, she couldn't help but look around, and then said sheepishly: "It looks pretty decent, but I'm a little scared."
Mrs. Chen followed them closely and said, "Did Aunt Six think of something important? She called us here in such a hurry."
This was someone who didn't know the situation, so Qiao Yuyan was a little surprised.
But she didn't hide it, "I just got the news that my natal family's residence, Uncle Zhongyong's residence, has been sealed."
"ah?!"
Except for Mrs. Chu, everyone else was very surprised. Mrs. Lin even stood up from her chair, "How could this happen?! What's going on? Now the old lady and uncle haven't come back yet, we... we women
I'm afraid it won't work!"
Mrs. Lin and Ms. Chen also stared at her nervously, with concern and worry in their eyes.
Qiao Yuyan felt a little warm in her heart. After her rebirth, some things had changed. Perhaps these changes were brought about by her own changes.
In any case, she actually felt warm in the Wen family at this time.
So she smiled faintly, "I'm just telling everyone about this matter, because we can't help, and I know my father and uncle. No matter which way you look at it, I am loyal to Uncle Yong and loyal to the court. I am not afraid of investigation or investigation."
seal up!"
Mrs. Lin nodded, "If you are upright, you won't be afraid of slanted shadows. My siblings' family traditions are upright, so nothing will happen to them."
Qiao Yuyan nodded, "Nowadays, things are unpredictable. Even families like my mother's family have been sealed off. We have to make plans. After all, I am young and don't understand many things. I was thinking, what if...what if our family
It’s also blocked, what will happen?!”
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked. Ms. Chen immediately shook her head, "No, it can't be! How come our family..."
Mrs. Chu interrupted her, "I think Aunt Six is right. Today not only the residence of Uncle Zhongyong was sealed, but also the Li family of the Minister of Civil Affairs. Their family is still the consort's family!"
There was another low exclamation, and Wen's expression became serious, "The sixth brother and sister are right, we have to nip it in the bud. If it doesn't happen, it's best. If it really does...
"
Qiao Yuyan nodded, "Looking at the families that were sealed off in the past few days, and the current situation of my natal family, it seems that the old, weak, women and children in the mansion were not taken out and detained, but were imprisoned in the mansion and not allowed to go out."
This is the end that has to be done. With so many people, two families are locked down today and two are locked down tomorrow. How can there be such a big place to detain so many people?
Qiao Yuyan's eyes fell on Mrs. Wen, "Fourth sister-in-law, you probably know a lot. How do people in the mansion deal with such a seal?"
Qiao Yuyan remembered that when the Seventh Prince came that day and used Jiahe's death as an excuse, it seemed that he wanted to gather everyone in one place.
