"Today, there is talk everywhere that our girl got together with a bunch of merchants from Suzhou, Zhejiang, and had a great time chatting with her. We negotiated several big business deals. Have you heard about it?"
As soon as the old lady saw him coming, she immediately asked impatiently, "What is going on? Did you hear anything in the court today? Did the Holy Father ask about it?"
Qiao Weisheng quickly took his mother's hand and helped her into the house.
Mrs. Xu then sat down next to her, waiting anxiously for news about her husband.
"Don't worry yet. It's hard to tell whether the situation in the south is true or false. After Zingyuan went to Jiangxi, the entire Jiangnan area almost became chaotic, and their methods became much more aggressive. Many people who were originally deployed by the imperial court,
Nearly half of it was removed.
Judging from the current situation, Yan'er has probably fallen into their hands, but at least the girl should not be in any danger now. The news that came out was actually only aimed at Zingyuan.
The Holy One didn't mean to distrust him, so what they did to Yan'er doesn't make any sense."
His words were just a general explanation of the current situation, but they completely failed to dispel the worries of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Xu quickly said: "Since it doesn't work, what will they do? Yan'er falls into their hands.
, I will definitely endure hardship. If seeing these things cannot shake the court's trust in Zingyuan, will they use Yan'er to threaten Zingyuan? This..."
When Mrs. Xu thought of such a thing, she felt her vision go dark. She was not worried at first. After all, her natal family was from there. On her own territory, there would be no big problems.
Now I realize that she was too naive.
The old lady was not only concerned about this point, "Now the Holy One trusts my uncle, what about the court? Although after the Holy One's rectification, most of the officials in the court have been screened, but I also know that now the court is also divided
After joining several factions, Tingyuan suddenly gained favor after entering the court, and there may not be anyone who is jealous of him.
What's more, there are those officials who are here. These people usually like to make trouble over nothing. Now that they see something like this, why don't you pounce on it immediately? I don't believe that no one is taking it right now!"
These words made the look on Qiao Weisheng's face become a little ugly. He hesitated for a moment, then looked at his mother, and finally sighed and nodded: "It's impossible if no one comes to play the piano.
Now the in-laws are vigorously rectifying the grassroots administration under the secret instruction of the Holy Emperor. How can the people who have just been installed sit still? The matter of Zingyuan can be regarded as a handle to be handed over."
"Now that I'm in the cabinet, why can't I say a few words for my uncle?"
The silent one at the other end, Qiao Weipeng, sighed: "Now is the time when the eldest brother can't say a word. When the news came, Zhang Shoufu called the eldest brother over privately, telling him to be more cautious recently and how to speak.
My son’s surname is Qiao, so if this matter falls on my uncle, he still has to go through a lot of trouble!”
"Zhang Shoufu is not reminding you, this is warning your brother!" The old lady's face became more and more ugly, she couldn't help but sigh, thought for a while and nodded: "Yes, don't say anything recently, the more you let them make trouble.
, the key decision on this matter is still with the Holy Spirit. If we are anxious now, it will look like we really have something wrong.
Our girl knows that Sister Yan, apart from other things, has always been careless about money. We all know that she will never be able to control herself for those frivolous money at this time. Just wait! Things will eventually come to light.
day."
Mrs. Xu shed tears when she heard this, "I understand all these principles, but Yan'er is in their hands right now. Just this fact makes me really uneasy.
This child has never suffered anything since he was a child. In my parents' home, my mother treated him like a baby, and later when he came to the capital, it was even less so.
Now that she is being controlled by someone, I don’t know if she will be tortured, starved or frozen. If someone threatens Zingyuan with her, will she do something stupid out of sheer thought..."
I couldn't continue talking until I reached this point. Dangzhi fell on his seat and started crying.
Several people felt uncomfortable watching her cry.
As Xu said,
No matter how clearly you analyze the truth, how can you feel at ease emotionally?
You know best about your own children.
In such a situation, what should she, a delicate girl, do?
The gloom and gloom in the room made Qiao Yurong, who had rushed over after hearing the news, stop in her tracks. Fortunately, she did not enter the room and went directly to the penthouse.
Sure enough, he saw Mother Zhao pouring medicine for the old lady listlessly, so she gestured to her to be silent.
But Mother Zhao waved her hand and lowered her voice and said, "The third girl is late, she has finished what she said."
"Is it about elder sister?"
Mother Zhao sighed, "It seems that the third girl has also heard about it. This news has spread really hard."
As he spoke, he told her roughly what the hosts in the room had just discussed.
Qiao Yurong was also shocked when she heard this, "How could eldest sister..."
She couldn't help but tighten the handkerchief in her hand, and thought for a moment: "Don't tell grandma that I've been here."
Mother Zhao nodded gently, knowing that no one in the family could live a normal life with peace of mind.
Qiao Yurong quickly returned to her yard, then quickly wrote a letter and handed it directly to Zhui'er, "Send it out."
Zhui'er was stunned for a moment, then said with a half-smile, "Didn't the girl say that she would never take the initiative to write a letter to my future uncle?"
"When has it happened? You are still making such a joke," Qiao Yurong scolded her and said angrily, "Send it over quickly. Maybe he can do something about it."
Seeing his girl's serious look, Zhui'er didn't dare to joke anymore and ran out quickly.
Qiao Yurong sat down distractedly, and finally let out a long breath, "No, she can't stand here and wait."
Since she can't do anything right now, she should take care of her family affairs first.
The eldest sister is in danger, and I am afraid that neither the grandmother nor the eldest aunt have the mind to pay attention to the affairs at home.
She has nothing to do with other things, but the housekeeping staff at home can be of some help.
While thinking about it, she headed towards the Furong Pavilion. Unexpectedly, she was only halfway there when she saw Mother Zhang heading towards the old lady's yard with a lawsuit look on her face.
Qiao Yurong stopped her subconsciously, "What happened?"
Seeing that it was her, Mother Zhang felt like she had found a savior, so she quickly said: "Oh, Miss Three, I'm so lucky to have met you. This old slave has some news, I really don't know whether I should spread it or not."
