Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty Seventh Who Has No Relatives
Liu Mingzhi let out a muffled cough and almost didn't catch his breath. He looked at Qi Ya's side face in a daze.
All because Qi Ya was too calm, as if she just said a trivial matter.
With a single word, the whole family was wiped out.
Sister, this is a disaster that will destroy the family, not a child playing house. Can you please be a little more expressive?
However, Young Master Liu was disappointed. Qi Ya's expression was extremely indifferent, without the slightest trace of sadness or sadness, just like a passerby who had nothing to do with her.
Such a reaction left Liu Mingzhi speechless, and he really didn't know how to continue talking about this topic.
"Do you think I'm a little cold-blooded? I'm indifferent even though my husband's family was wiped out."
You still know, sister.
"No, I just feel that eldest sister, you are a little too calm. It seems that being exterminated is not the right thing for you. Although the Minister of Rites is not as noble as the three ministers of the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Husband, he is also a high-ranking official of the second rank. He was exterminated.
Your Majesty, didn't you say anything? Good or bad, justice will be done to the Lu family."
Liu Mingzhi learned from Zhu Run that Qi Ya's husband's family was a minister, second only to the two prime ministers and ministers.
Qi Ya smiled sadly after hearing this, "Your Majesty destroyed it."
"Did your Majesty destroy it? Did the Lu family rebel? But rebellion is a serious crime against the nine clans. So what do you do?"
Liu Mingzhi didn't ask, he knew that Qi Ya understood what he meant.
You are the young lady of the Lu family. How did you survive when the Lu family was wiped out?
There are too many strange things here that cannot be explained at all.
"I don't know either. Before my sedan chair even entered the door, more than 70 members of the Lu family, old and young, had already been escorted to the prison. As for the charges, there are various theories."
"What about brother-in-law? Shouldn't he go to welcome the bride? Didn't he survive the disaster?"
"We went, but what passed was not a human, but a rooster."
Rooster? Liu Mingzhi was stunned and thought carefully about the reason for getting married to a rooster.
"Could he be?"
Qi Ya nodded calmly, "It is said that he is a sick man. I think it is not groundless. Otherwise, if you don't get married, you will have to use a rooster instead."
Liu Mingzhi sighed helplessly, "This matter is too complicated. I was a little confused after hearing it."
Qi Ya looked at Liu Mingzhi calmly, "What's complicated? I promised a sick husband, but their family was wiped out before we got married. Isn't this a simple matter?"
"It is indeed easy to understand what you said, but based on my understanding of my father-in-law, my father-in-law is not like the kind of person who sacrifices his daughter's happiness in order to cling to high branches. Although the two of them barely meet each other now, there is no news.
I don’t know. In that case, why would my father-in-law marry the Lu family and become the brother of Qin and Jin?"
"The marriage was not arranged by my father, but by my great-uncle."
"In this case, your uncle must know the situation of Mr. Lu, why would he push you into the fire pit?"
"Marriage!"
"Um okay!"
"Over the years, I have quietly inquired about it. It seems that the Lu family's annihilation has something to do with the King of Shu. However, many people have never mentioned this matter. In addition, when they saw me, I was like a flood of wild beasts. In fact, I did not find out any news.
.”
"King of Shu? Could it be that in the 20th year of Xuande's reign, the third prince Li Yunlong was demoted as king of Shu?"
"maybe!"
"So, doesn't the Lu family become the abandoned sons of the King of Shu? It seems that many people were implicated because of that incident."
Qi Yaying pursed her lips and said, "Have you also heard about this?"
"I've heard about it! The details are not very clear, but it is said that the King of Shu was more favored than His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the early years, and many ministers sided with the King of Shu. Could it be your uncle?"
"Well, my uncle's name is Shang Yu and Xia Yuanchao. You should know him!"
"Yu Yuanchao? Mr. Yu, the Chief Minister of Agriculture and Agriculture?"
"Yes, my grandpa's brother, my uncle, I was almost taken to the prison after the sedan chair came to Beijing to await trial. It was he who begged for mercy that saved me from disaster. It was also he who persuaded my grandpa to coerce my father into agreeing to this marriage with the Lu family.
He also saved my life, do you think I should hate him or thank him?"
Liu Mingzhi pondered for a moment, "Hate, sister, I'm not saying bad things about him. That old guy Yu Yuanchao has a sinister look. He looks like a cunning guy at first glance. He's not a good guy."
Qi Ya's few words and a few guesses from what he heard were enough to give him a rough estimate.
When the King of Shu did not belittle the land of Shu, the holy family was prosperous and the emperor had not appointed a prince, many people sided with the third prince who was deeply favored by the emperor.
The same is true for Qi Ya's great-uncle Yu Yuan, who chose a marriage in order to win over the Lu family, the former Minister of Rites.
Qiya is the victim.
Although Qi Run was unwilling, he had to agree to the marriage due to pressure from his father-in-law.
Coupled with Yu Yuanchao's flattering words of praise, it created a tragedy.
Liu Mingzhi sighed. His father-in-law, Qi Run, was good at everything, but he lacked a backbone. If he had been a little tougher, maybe Qi Ya would not have been so miserable.
Sangmenxing, how many people can accept this title calmly?
Needless to say, some thoughtful people must have blamed Qi Ya, a young lady who had never married, for the Lu family's destruction in order to cover up the truth.
Even, Liu Mingzhi narrowed his eyes, it was not impossible that this person did not rule out Emperor Li Zheng's operation.
In order to save the face of the royal family, the Lu family and some ministers became the scapegoats for the disaster in the 20th year of Xuande.
But in the final analysis, the culprit of this matter is still Yu Yuanchao.
Hearing Liu Mingzhi cursing his uncle, Qi Ya chuckled instead of getting angry.
Liu Mingzhi rarely saw Qi Ya smile knowingly, and this should be the first time she showed such a knowing smile.
"Sister, the past is like smoke, the past is past, people have to look forward!"
Qi Ya sighed, "I can't see it anymore. Sangmen Xing is not welcomed by people wherever he goes. This life is over, and if we don't talk about the next life, a life of suffering is enough."
"this"
Liu Mingzhi was silent. Don't try to persuade her to be kind until she has suffered.
What qualifications do I have to comfort Qi Ya, a miserable person!
No wonder Qi Yun kept silent and never mentioned anything about her sister Qi Ya. There is nothing to mention about such a past. It only adds to the sadness.
After walking for some time, Qi Ya stopped at a house.
Liu Mingzhi was stunned and looked at the house in front of him blankly. It was neither very big nor very small as soon as he entered the house, but this was not the house of his father-in-law Qi Run.
Could it be!
Liu Mingzhi looked at the mansion in front of him and felt a little scared. He always felt that the mansion in front of him was no different from the legendary haunted house.
Qi Ya took out a key from her arms and gently opened the copper lock on the door. "Wait a moment, I'll light the lamp."
"Okay!"
The sun had set and twilight was falling. Liu Mingzhi always felt chills all over his body. He raised his head and looked at the mansion in front of him. He was suddenly stunned when he saw that the plaque on the mansion turned out to be a blank plaque.
"Do you want it to be so scary?"
Halfway through the tea time, Qi Ya came out carrying a red lantern and said, "Come in!"
Gudu, Young Master Liu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "Sister, let's forget it. In fact, it doesn't hurt me!"
Qi Ya looked at Liu Mingzhi calmly: "Are you afraid?"
"How is that possible? What do I have to be afraid of? Who doesn't have a few relatives down there!"
