Three days later, the Dali Temple compiled a file of the crimes committed by the Yang family and his son and presented it to the emperor. Emperor Zhengxuan was furious after reading it, and immediately ordered that the two men be executed in autumn, the Yang mansion was confiscated, and all the family property was confiscated into the state treasury.
Looking at the door that had been sealed by the official, Yang Tao held Mrs. Yang's arm and cried out of breath, "Mom, now, what should we do now!"
"Madam." Even Azi, who was beside Mrs. Yang, couldn't help but look at Mrs. Yang worriedly.
Madam, she was already weak, but now that there are sudden changes in the house, she is really afraid that Madam will not be able to hold on.
But Mrs. Yang did not fall down as Azi feared. She looked at the seal on the door expressionlessly. After a long time, she slowly retracted her eyes and uttered two words indifferently, "Let's go."
"Madam, where are we going?" Azi held Mrs. Yang's other hand and asked her with some confusion.
Before the imperial edict to punish the Queen of Autumn came down, the Yongning House and his wife's natal family, the Liao family, could not wait to clear their relationship with the Yang House, let alone now...
She was only afraid that it wouldn't be long before Yongning's Mansion would exterminate the master.
As if confirming Ah Zi's suspicion, the sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded from the other end of the street. Judging by the clothes of those people, they were clearly from Yongning Bo Mansion.
"Where is Mr. Liao?"
Mrs. Yang didn't hum. She glanced at the man coldly.
"Mom..." Yang Tao also noticed something was wrong, and she leaned towards Mrs. Yang in fear.
Seeing that Mrs. Yang was not humming, the man didn't bother to argue with her. He opened the book in his hand and read to her, "Uncle Yongning's house has a teaching, a gentleman should be cautious and independent, and be virtuous and good. As Yang Hefeng, as Yongning Bo
The heir is unfaithful to the king, unfilial to his parents, and undermines his loyalty. Such a wicked person has really insulted the Yongning family tradition. Now, after the consensus of the elders of the clan, he will be exterminated from the clan. From then on, the two have nothing to do with each other!"
After he finished reading with an expressionless face, he put the scroll in his hand away and handed it to Mrs. Yang, "Ms. Liao, take it!"
"Fourth uncle..." Yang Tao burst into tears.
She originally had some luck in her heart. Even if she was no longer a girl from the deputy commander of Jinyiwei's family, she was at least still a girl from the Yongning House. But now, the Yongning House wants to exterminate her father...
"Mr. Liao, from now on, you can take care of yourself!" The man whom Yang Tao called 'fourth uncle' seemed not to have seen Yang Tao. He thrust the scroll in his hand into Mrs. Yang's hand, then turned around and got on.
horse.
After a while, the group of people disappeared at the entrance of the street on horseback.
"Mom, what do grandfather and grandmother mean? They, they don't care about us anymore? What should we do? Where are we going? Are we going back to my grandfather's house?" Yang Tao cried and pulled Mrs. Yang's arm.
road.
"Cough cough, cough cough..." After being pulled by Carambola like this, Mrs. Yang couldn't help but raise her hand to cover her mouth and started coughing again.
"Girl, Madam is not in good health, please move more gently and stop shaking Madam." Azi frowned and looked at Yang Tao.
"You, you are a maid, why do you lecture me!" Yang Tao was already feeling aggrieved, but now he was accused like this by a maid, and he couldn't control his temper and burst out.
"Okay! Stop arguing!" Mrs. Yang finally couldn't help shouting angrily.
After drinking the star fruit, she couldn't help bending her face and coughing heartbreakingly.
"Madam, are you okay?" Ah Zi quickly took out a hand and patted her back gently.
Seeing his own mother coughing and her whole face distorted, Yang Tao finally closed her mouth in fear, "Mom, I won't speak anymore, please, don't be angry!"
Now that her father and brother are gone, she only has her mother. If her mother is gone, then she...
Yang Tao shook his head quickly to get rid of the horrible thoughts in his mind.
After a while, Mrs. Yang finally came to her senses. She quietly put away the bloody handkerchief, then she straightened up and calmly told Ah Zi, "First go to the city to find an inn to stay, and then...
Send someone to see where there are suitable empty houses in the capital."
"Mom, let's, let's not go to my grandfather's house?" Yang Tao panicked when he heard that he was going to stay in an inn.
"Madam, I will go and make arrangements now." Azi forced back her tears. She blessed Madam Yang, then turned around and ordered people to find the inn, and ordered people to carry all the things that were moved out into the carriage.
.
"Mom, please speak!" Seeing Mrs. Yang ignoring her, Yang Tao's tears of grievance fell straight down.
"What do you want me to say? I'm alive now, so you still have room to cry, but once I die..."
"Mom, I don't allow you to say this! You won't die!" Yang Tao was frightened by Mrs. Yang's words. She couldn't help covering her ears and screaming.
Looking at the frightened Yang Tao, Mrs. Yang herself couldn't help but have red eyes. She took Yang Tao's hand and said with a heartfelt tone, "Ah Tao, the road ahead for us will be difficult, but you have to believe in mother.
Mother will definitely take care of you!"
"Mom..." After hearing what Mrs. Yang said, Yang Tao whimpered and plunged into Mrs. Yang's arms.
With the decree of execution after the fall, the case of Yang Xiao's abuse of the girl finally came to an end.
At least, that's what it looks like on the surface. As for the undercurrents rising underneath... one day, they will converge into a huge wave and roll towards the capital overwhelmingly.
The Yang family's father and son were overthrown, and the happiest person was Mrs. Chen.
Although Xie Wu had rescued Chen Jiarou long ago, as long as the Yang family and her son were in the capital, her heart would hang in her throat, fearing another accident. During these days, she ordered everyone in the house to
She was not allowed to go out, and even Chen Jiamu was forced to stay in the house.
But now, her heart could finally fall back into her stomach.
"Mom, since everything is fine, shouldn't we also prepare a gift to go to the Hou Mansion to thank my aunt and Ah Wu?" Seeing that his mother had swept away the gloom of the past, Chen Jiayan couldn't help but smile and reminded Mrs. Chen.
"Sister Yan is so attentive! We should go to the Marquis Mansion to express our gratitude, and we have to prepare a generous gift!" Mrs. Chen echoed Chen Jiayan's words with a smile.
It was a generous gift that Chen and Xie Wu could not refuse her!
Now that Yang Xiao's matter has been resolved, Ayan and Arou's matter should also be put on the agenda.
In the past, she might have believed that there was nothing Chen could do, but now...
Xie Wu can even deal with Yang's father and son, so wouldn't it be easy to find a satisfactory marriage for Jiayan and Jiarou?
"Mom, I, I don't want to go to the Hou Mansion..." Just as Mrs. Chen was thinking secretly, Chen Jiarou suddenly spoke cowardly with a pale face.
She just wants to hide herself now and doesn't want to see anyone!
Especially Xie Wu!
She will never forget that when she was abused and humiliated by Yang Xiao and tied up like a dog, Xie Wu stood opposite her with a spotless look, taking in all her embarrassment and humiliation...
"A'rou, His Majesty has decreed that the Yang family's father and son will soon be executed by Qiu Houwen, so don't be afraid. Everything has passed. Let's just pretend that it never happened, okay?"
Seeing the panic in her daughter's eyes, Mrs. Chen comforted her with great distress.
"No, it won't work! Mom, she knows that, she saw it with her own eyes! They all saw it! I won't go, I don't want to go anywhere now!" As Chen Jiarou said, she suddenly covered her ears and screamed.
"Ah Rou!" Mrs. Chen called Chen Jiarou distressedly. She hurriedly took off the hand covering Chen Jiarou's ears, and then stretched out her hand to take her into her arms. She stroked her gently while speaking softly to her.
She said, "Arou, it's okay, it's okay, my mother is here for everything! My mother will protect you! It's okay! It's okay!"
"Mom, Xie Wu, Xie Wu, she saw it, and her maid..." Chen Jiarou raised her head from Mrs. Chen's arms and cried to her heartbreakingly.
"Mom knows, Mom knows! Tomorrow Mom will tell your aunt and Ah Wu properly. Ah Wu is your cousin, she knows the importance, so she won't say anything detrimental to you!"
"Really?" Chen Jiarou raised her teary eyes and looked at Mrs. Chen timidly and in disbelief.
Mrs. Chen nodded vigorously, and assured her daughter categorically, "It's true! Mom promises you!"
After all, if this thing happens, it will also have an impact on Xie Wu's reputation. Xie Wu is a smart person, she knows what to do! At worst, she will make the gift heavier!
"Mother..." Chen Jiarou called out to Mrs. Chen aggrievedly, and then she buried her face deeply into Mrs. Chen's arms.
"Oh! Mother is here! Mother is here!" Mrs. Chen responded distressedly, and her arms around Chen Jiarou became tighter.
No one noticed that Miss Chen Si, who was as frightened as a frightened bird just now, actually had an extremely cold smile on her lips.
Of course she knew that Xie Wu would not tell this matter, but what she wanted was more than just that!
She could never forget how she survived those days of purgatory!
She couldn't even forget that all of this happened because of Xie Wu! She was the culprit who put her in such a situation!
She must make it up to her! Otherwise...
She doesn't mind if the fish or the net is broken!
Mrs. Chen and Chen Jiayan did not know these thoughts of Chen Jiarou.
Although Chen Jiayan felt sorry for her sister, she also knew that her worries were unnecessary. Ah Wu was not that kind of person at all. Otherwise, why would she take the risk to save her herself?
More than anything else, she was more worried about her mother.
Judging from the meaning of what she just said, it seems that she has not given up the idea of finding a marriage for her and Arou in the capital...
Thinking of the promise she made in front of Ah Wu that day, Chen Jiayan couldn't help but feel troubled.
How should she persuade her mother?
If not...
She went to steal the letter?
Thinking of this, Chen Jiayan suddenly made up his mind.
Now, this is the only way.
However, Chen Jiayan, who had made up her mind, did not know that the letter she wanted to steal had already reached Xie Wu's hands and turned into ashes and ceased to exist.
