Chapter 87 The child is innocent
Zhao Wanyue is not a saint. Liu is indeed pitiful now, but if Xiaoxiao had not changed the fate of the whole family, she would have been dead, her children would have been killed, and dozens of people from her mother's family would have been killed.
She was able to stop stepping on Liu and Sun Caidie, which was already a sign of her self-cultivation.
She said lightly: "From now on, everyone over there can withdraw. There is no need to waste manpower and material resources for a few unrelated people. What about the little girl from the Sun family?"
The child was only a few months older than Su Xiaoxiao and knew nothing. Unlike Sun Decai and Sun Caidie, who were full of evil, Zhao Wanyue couldn't help but ask.
"After the old woman stole the child, she took him out of the city and sold him to a human trafficker, who wanted to sell him again!" The secret guard reported the truth.
Zhao Wanyue hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Pay attention. If a good family buys her, let her go. If she falls into the hands of a bad person, buy her and find a kind and ordinary family for her to live out her life in peace!"
The secret guard took the order. Bai Zhi asked in confusion, "Madam, they hurt you so much, why do you care about the life and death of the child?"
Zhao Wanyue sighed . Zhao Wanyue sighed: "The child is innocent. Although her parents and brothers are selfish and do all kinds of evil, she knows nothing."
In fact, in addition to this reason, Zhao Wanyue also wanted to accumulate some virtue for Xiaoxiao. Xiaoxiao can see the future, and she doesn't know whether it will have an impact on her. Since Xiaoxiao was born, she has donated incense every month in Xiaoxiao's name. She also set up a porridge stall on the first and fifteenth day of every month to provide porridge and clothes for the homeless children in the capital.
Even when Zhao Hongye was going to Xiling for disaster relief, she took out two thousand taels of silver in Xiaoxiao's name and asked Zhao Hongye to do something for the children there.
Fortunately, within a few days, news came that the family that bought Sun Yingying was very kind. They had come to Beijing to do small business. Now the old man in the family was sick and planned to go back to their hometown.
Zhao Wanyue thought it was good. She didn't ask the rest and didn't let the secret guards investigate it. Let this child be reborn.
Su Bohao was recently transferred to the training ground for training. He didn't hear anything about the family. The people who went with him naturally knew about it, but who could tell him about it? Therefore, when he returned home and heard Zheng Yaxian say it, he knew that his mother killed the mistress of the Duke of Zhenguo in order to get the position.
This was simply a bolt from the blue. Unable to accept the reality, he went out to buy alcohol again and drank a lot. When he woke up, he found himself in an inn. Sitting next to him was the Minister of War Shen Tianyou.
Su Bohao was startled and sobered up. He stammered as he greeted Shen Tianyou.
Shen Tianyou lost his usual dignity and said lovingly, "Are you awake?"
"Sir Shen, I know I can't drink during training. I won't do it next time." After this period of tempering, Su Bohao has changed a little. In his current situation, without his mother, he can only rely on himself.
"I watched you grow up, I know you feel bad, the troops stationed in Northern Frontier are going to be rotated, if you don't want to stay in the capital, I can arrange for you to go there. Northern Frontier is adjacent to Beiqiu, which is weak, and the border is peaceful, you can go there for a few years, and when this is over, I will transfer you back!"
With such a mother, Su Bohao really didn't have the face to stay in the capital. He thanked Shen Tianyou profusely, thinking that this was all because of the friendship between Shen Tianyou and his father.
The fact is, Shen Tianyou didn't know how long he could keep this secret, and sending Su Bohao to Northern Frontier would keep him safe. Even if the truth came out, he would be far away, he just wanted to leave a bloodline, nobility or no title, it was no longer something he could dream of.
Moreover, he had more difficult things to deal with. The assassination attempts in southern Xinjiang failed several times, and Su Bowen would be back soon.
Su Bohao left only a letter and left. Zheng Yaxian found Zhao Wanyue with the letter in a daze and burst into tears.
Zhao Wanyue patted her hands: "Bohao has been idle all the time. Now he is willing to go to the border to gain experience. It's a good thing."
"I know that, but what am I now?" Zhao Wanyue was really anxious. Her mother-in-law was gone, her husband was gone, and her current status in this family was so embarrassing.
Now when she goes back to her parents' home, no one in the family likes her.
Zheng Yaxian was just a little stupid, but she didn't have any bad intentions. Zhao Wanyue had no intention of dealing with her, so she said, "Just stay in the mansion and take good care of Changming! Or, if you feel you have no one to rely on, I can give you a farm and two shops. You learn to manage them, and then you and your mother will have someone to rely on in the future!"
"Are you serious?" Zheng Yaxian's eyes lit up. She had always wanted a shop, and had begged Liu for a long time but failed. Unexpectedly, Zhao Wanyue agreed.
Zhao Wanyue smiled: "Of course I'm serious. But you have to manage the shop well. If you make money, it's yours. If you lose money, I won't be responsible. A woman like you should have some ability to support herself. You can pick whichever manor you want!"
Zheng Yaxian thought for a while: "Sister-in-law, can I have a manor in the western suburbs? I heard that there is a very good private school there. I want Changming to go there
to start his education. You know, Changming can't go to a place like Yulin Academy." "Okay!" Zhao Wanyue agreed straightforwardly. Zheng Yaxian was not as stupid as she usually appeared. It was good that she knew how to discipline her children. "I will pick out two shops with good business for you. If you have any questions, just come to me!"
"Sister-in-law, I want to ask you a favor. I want to bring Changming to move to the manor. Firstly, it will be easier for him to get an education, and secondly, let him know his identity!" Zheng Yaxian felt that the reason why Su Bohao was so unreasonable was that he did not have a clear understanding of his own identity and did whatever he wanted relying on his mother's favor.
There were rumors that Su Bohao was not the son of the Duke. Regardless of whether it was true or not, the people who were in charge of the mansion were Zhao Wanyue and Su Bowen. Liu had a grudge against them for killing their mother and almost killed Zhao Wanyue and Su Xiaoxiao. No matter how generous they were, they could not really treat Changming as their own. Now that they had a manor and a shop, they should leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.
Zhao Wanyue felt very good. It was good for Su Bohao to leave and Zheng Yaxian to move out. As long as they lived a peaceful life, Liu would pay for the sins she had committed.
Zhao Wanyue not only agreed, but also registered the shop and the farm under Zheng Yaxian's name. It was written in black and white that no matter whether Su Bohao came back or not, these properties belonged to Zheng Yaxian.
Zheng Yaxian brought Changming to kowtow to Zhao Wanyue, packed up their things and moved to the farm.
Along the way, she taught the three-year-old Su Changming: "You must remember the kindness of the lady. It was she who gave us a way to survive!"
The tender voice of the baby rang out: "Mom, I know, grandma did something wrong, and dad doesn't want us anymore. Don't cry, mom, I will protect you in the future!"
