Fleeing From Famine, My Entire Family Was Reborn

In their previous lives, Su Yin, her mother, and her sister-in-law were brutally mu*dered by a mob. In a twist of fate, all three were reborn together.

Before the mob could reach their villag...

Chapter 488 The Show Begins

After listening to his daughter's words, the head of the Heng family sighed and said, "Man proposes, God disposes. In this case, you must protect yourself well that day. As for Miss Su, I will go there in person."

"Father, this is not right. Prince Jing's people will definitely be watching you and me at this moment. If we do anything inappropriate, I'm afraid it will bring disaster. Miss Su's influence is huge. Since they can get the news from the palace first, they must have known about this matter."

Heng Youyi analyzed calmly, "I think they will respond. Dad, on the day of the full moon banquet, Shangjing City will definitely be in turmoil. It's better for you not to go there that day. Just pretend to be sick during this period of time."

The head of the Heng family shook his head, "It's not appropriate. The Heng family is your mother's family, and the young master's maternal grandfather. If your mother and I don't go, it will definitely attract attention. Not only will your mother and I go, but we will also hold a full-month banquet for the child in a grand manner and happily."

"Otherwise, we won't be able to explain to the palace and Prince Jing."

"But... it's too dangerous."

"Prince Jing will not do anything to us, not to mention the people behind Miss Su. I think they will not sit idly by." The head of the Heng family could only comfort himself and his daughter in his heart.

They had no idea what these superiors were thinking, but they only hoped that they would take some care of the Heng family because they were obedient and had done a lot for them.

Heng Youyi couldn't stay in the Heng family for long and left quickly.

Just as Heng Youyi analyzed, Su Yin and the others already knew about it.

It was Su Yin and others who told Prince Jing the news that the palace was planning to use the dragon heir in the imperial concubine's belly to frame Prince Jing. Under the instigation of the traitors, Song Yunhe finally made up his mind to take action on the day of the full moon of the young master of the Marquis' Mansion and kill everyone without leaving a single survivor.

Shunyi Hou acted quickly and sent invitations to the homes of all the powerful people in Shangjing City on the third day.

After receiving the invitation, many dignitaries and court officials either ignored it or sneered at it. It was obvious that most people had kicked Marquis Shunyi out of the center of power.

The Shunyi Marquis Mansion will not see any improvement for at least a decade, so many people naturally disdain to go there.

However, they all changed their minds soon after a piece of news came out.

"Have you heard? Master Guichen said that the young master of Shunyi Marquis's Mansion is full of blessings and will definitely be extraordinary in the future."

"What the master asserts must be correct."

"It is said that the pregnant imperial concubine in the palace will come over on the day of the full moon banquet to enjoy the blessing of the young master."

"Great news, great news, if a pregnant woman is touched by the young prince, she will be able to have a boy."

"Young Master is the reincarnation of Guanyin, and can bring children and blessings."

The rumors became more and more outrageous, and in the end it was said that the young master had become the reincarnation of a bodhisattva. Many women who had not been pregnant for many years ran to the gate of the marquis's mansion to kowtow and pray for a child.

At first, people prayed for children, then gradually some prayed for wealth, some prayed for marriage, in short, there were all kinds of wishes.

The Marquis' Mansion had no choice but to drive them away, but the more they drove them away, the more people came. In the end, the Marquis' Mansion was too lazy to drive them away and just let these people burn incense and petition outside the mansion.

The upper-class dignitaries paid no attention to the rumors spread by the common people, because they saw something different.

Concubine Jiang will go to the Marquis' Mansion in person. As for Prince Qin, Prince Yun, and Prince Jing, these three princes have close ties with the Heng family and will naturally give the Heng family this face.

Someone is coming to the palace, and the three kings have expressed their intention to come, so there is no reason for the others who have received the invitation not to come.

Every family immediately prepared.

As the day of the full moon banquet drew closer, Prince Jing's Mansion appeared to be relaxed on the outside but tense on the inside.

Song Yunhe has been unable to sleep or eat these days because success or failure depends on this one move.

If he succeeds, he will become the emperor, the most honorable person in the world; if he fails, he will die and the entire Prince Jing's Mansion will be destroyed.

Song Yunhe looked at Eunuch Hong, "Where is he?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. The 50,000 elite soldiers led by the young master have arrived at the outskirts of Shangjing City. They have temporarily settled down in a bandit's nest in the suburbs. Coincidentally, it was you, Your Majesty, who led the elimination of that bandit's nest, which saved us a lot of trouble."

Eunuch Hong continued, "It's a good time to rest for the next two days to recuperate. When the day after tomorrow comes, when the young master celebrates his full moon, we will definitely take control of Shangjing City as soon as possible."

Song Yunhe nodded and handed the list in his hand to Eunuch Hong, "Tell him that after the Imperial Guards are killed, he should search them one by one according to this list."

Although the Heng family contributed a lot of money, he was well aware of the emptiness of the treasury. That little money was not enough to run the Great Yong Dynasty.

Where does the money come from?

Naturally, they took advantage of this great civil strife to pick the pockets of powerful officials.

If you miss this opportunity, you won't have it again in the future.

Most of the people on the list are hostile forces, with the Jiang family being the first to be hit.

Ever since Queen Mother Jiang came to power, the Jiang family has been accumulating wealth on a massive scale, and the Jiang family members have become extremely wealthy. However, all members of the Jiang family were on that death list, and after them were the noble families and ministers who had defected to the King of Qin.

The day of the full moon banquet for the young master of Shunyi Marquis finally arrived after everyone had been looking forward to it.

The entire front of the mansion had been cleaned up, and the people who had come to pray before could not get close to it today. The mansion was decorated with lights and colors, and it was full of joy. The men of the Fu family stood at the door to welcome the guests on behalf of the women of the mansion.

Luxurious carriages flocked to the mansion one after another, and a long line formed before it reached the gate.

A low-key carriage arrived early, but it did not go to the front door, but instead drove to the back door.

Su Yin, Su Xiaozhong and Su Xinguang all disguised themselves and came in a low-key manner.

Someone was already waiting at the back door and let the three people in.

Xiao Cui led the three of them into the inner house and into the front hall where the guests were to be entertained.

"All the people here today are dignitaries, so don't get into conflict with them. Madam is busy today and doesn't have time to entertain the three distinguished guests. Please make yourselves at your convenience."

Su Xiaozhong waved his hand, "You go and get busy."

Xiao Cui left in a hurry.

The three members of the Su family were like spectators, walking leisurely among the guests.

Su Xinguang grabbed a handful of melon seeds and gave half to Su Yin.

When Su Xiaozhong saw that his youngest son didn't give him any, he ran over and grabbed a handful of melon seeds.

Su Xinguang looked around the scene and pointed in a certain direction, "Sister, that's a good spot. You'll be able to see everything clearly later."

"Let's go." Su Yin simply took a plate of fruit secretly and took her brother and father to the best 'viewing platform'.

The Su family's father, daughter and two others squatted in the corner of the front hall, waiting quietly.

Officials of all ranks in the capital city have gathered in the courtyard of the front hall. Most of the officials are present, with only a small number not present. These people are basically Su Yin's men.

Most of the powerful officials have arrived, only a few protagonists of today have not arrived yet.

Speak of Cao Cao, and here comes Cao Cao!

As the loud voice of the servant at the door rang out, everyone in the yard looked towards the gate.

"King Yun has arrived!"
