Chapter 5: Imperial Guards Confiscate the House
Yue Fuli arrived at the west courtyard and tidied up the second house's private warehouse again. Seeing the empty warehouse, she left with satisfaction.
As she was walking, she suddenly heard someone discussing something.
After listening carefully, she found out that they were discussing how to take the management power of the general's mansion away from her.
Yue Fuli grew angrier as she listened, wanting to go out and give the second wife a good beating. But thinking of her mother's funeral, she had no choice but to endure it for the time being.
However, he would not touch them for the time being, but he had to collect the interest. So, Yue Fuli took out a bad luck talisman from the space, exhaled lightly, and said, "Go!"
Yue Fuli left with satisfaction after seeing the talisman transform into a stream of light and enter the room where things were being discussed.
There was a scream behind me.
Yue Fuli curled her lips, quickened her pace, and hid her achievements and fame.
Back in the East Courtyard, Steward Lin had already set up the mourning hall, and white banners were hung throughout the general's mansion.
Yue Fuli took a look and found that only her eldest brother was kneeling in the mourning hall, while her second brother and youngest sister were nowhere to be seen. Thinking that they should still be at her grandmother's place, she decided to go over and take a look.
At the moment, she had explained everything that needed to be explained, and had people deal with what needed to be dealt with. All that was left was to take care of her mother's funeral, and then wait for the officials who were to confiscate her property to come.
Before she even reached Songhe Hall, she saw her younger brother and sister walking towards the mourning hall with their grandmother. She must have known what had happened.
Seeing Yue Fuli coming, the old lady stopped. When she came to her side, she looked at her and said, "Ali has grown up."
"Grandma!" Yue Fuli opened her mouth, wanting to say something. However, the old lady interrupted her, saying lovingly, "Ali, you don't have to say more. I know everything that happened in the mansion. You should have told Grandma earlier. Although Grandma is useless, at least she can help you share some of the burden."
"Grandma!" Yue Fuli's eyes became hot and she shouted again.
The old lady reached out and touched Yue Fuli's head, saying, "Don't worry, Grandma is here, the sky won't fall. Let's go see your mother."
Yue Fuli nodded and went to the mourning hall with the old lady.
As soon as she entered the mourning hall, the old lady almost fell down. She stumbled step by step towards the coffin in the middle, her eyes full of pain.
Not everyone can bear the pain of seeing a loved one die.
The old lady held the coffin, looked at her daughter-in-law lying inside, and whispered, "Yuan Niang, you are so stupid. You just left like that for Zhenhai. Have you ever thought about what will happen to me and the children?"
The old lady was so grief-stricken that she could barely stand even while holding onto the coffin. Yue Fuli was worried something might happen to her, so she immediately helped her sit down on a stool nearby and said, "Grandma, I'm so sad. Mother is gone, and we can't live without you anymore."
After hearing this, the old lady looked up at Yue Fuli and said with all her strength, "Don't worry, grandma won't abandon you."
After that, she asked, "Ali, the mansion will probably be raided soon. Have you made any arrangements?"
Yue Fuli was about to tell the old lady about her plans when a servant hurried in and shouted, "Miss, something bad has happened! The imperial guards are here to confiscate your property."
As the servant finished speaking, a group of imperial guards rushed in, surrounded Yue Fuli and the others, and said, "Everyone, gather in the front yard and kneel to receive the imperial edict."
Yue Fuli and others were pushed to the front yard, where the commander of the imperial guards and the officials in charge of confiscating property were waiting for them.
