Chapter 143 Impeachment
July 16th, everything goes well.
Wang was planning to go out last night. Today was a good day for her daughter Yuanchun to get her betrothal gift. She didn't go out last time when she got her betrothal gift, so if she doesn't go out this time, it will definitely not work.
Sure enough, early in the morning, as soon as the sun came out, the door of the ancestral hall was opened.
Wang washed and changed her clothes with the help of her maids. As she inserted pieces of jewelry into her hair, she looked at the familiar self in the mirror and slowly smiled.
She is not a rootless person in this family. She has two sons and a daughter.
No matter how much the old lady and the master hated her, they had to endure it.
Not only do you have to tolerate her, but you will also have to tolerate her brothers later.
It was their daughter's big day, and the uncles came over to drink a glass of wine, so who could say anything? Wang believed that her eldest brother would seize this opportunity to make those who had forced her into the ancestral hall suffer in silence.
Speaking of which, she really had to thank her elder sister-in-law for arranging a good marriage for Yuanchun.
No matter how bad the Marquis of Xinping is, he is still the grandson of the retired emperor and the nephew of the emperor.
Wang was very proud in her heart, and she was even more proud when she saw the betrothal gift sent by the Xinping Marquis's Mansion, which included 3,600 taels of silver in betrothal money alone.
Among her peers, who can compare with her daughter?
Even as for Jia Yue, once she gets married, it’s hard to say whether her elder sister-in-law will still be around.
By then, it is possible that the marriage of the fourth girl of the Jia family will still be in her hands.
"Master, smile more when you see my elder brother later."
Wang said to Jia Zheng, who was hiding from her for a while, "Today we are still discussing the dowry. Didn't my parents say that they would add a farm in the suburbs of Beijing for my daughter?"
"……good!"
Seeing her gentle and loving look, Jia Zheng couldn't help but take another step back.
The last time he was sick, he thought the old lady could plead with her sister-in-law to have him released, but as soon as his fever subsided, he was sent back.
Nowadays, the tranquilizers we drink every day are delivered directly to the ancestral hall.
Jia Zheng gradually adapted to the situation. Although he didn't understand how this woman could sleep so soundly in that place, it was better to have Wang's company in a place like the ancestral hall than to have no one at all.
"Father! Mother!"
Yuanchun came in and looked at her parents who were punished. She was extremely helpless and said, "I won't take anything from the Wang family."
The Wang family wanted to use her to gain entry into the Jia family, but that was absolutely impossible.
"What are you talking about?"
How could Wang agree? "These matters are not your turn to decide."
"It's not my turn to make the decision, but..."
Yuanchun glanced at her father and said, "Uncle will be back today."
What? Jia Zheng was startled. "You...your third aunt..."
"Third aunt was blessed with a long life, and uncle passed away at the right time."
When he learned that his uncle took seven days to reach Yansui, Bo Ge'er burst into tears.
He cried again when he had dinner at the old lady's house that night.
The two sisters cried so hard that their eyes were filled with tears, and the grandmother's eyes also turned red.
"I have helped Third Aunt to get a divorce and brought my cousin Mei Jie'er to Beijing. She said she would try to get back today."
"Just hurry back!" Wang frowned, "With your dowry..."
"Mother~"
Yuanchun didn't know what to say to her mother, "My uncle arrived in Yansui and beat up everyone in the Min family. Except for women and children, no man over thirteen years old escaped."
Wang: “…”
She realized it later and began to understand what her daughter meant.
She couldn't help but look at her husband Jia Zheng. His face was extremely pale at this moment.
"Mother, please send someone to tell my two uncles not to come!"
Yuanchun was actually worried that when her uncle saw her two uncles, it would be like enemies meeting each other and they would be extremely jealous of each other.
If that happens...
Although she was not worried about disturbing her betrothal ceremony, she was afraid that her uncle would be angry again after returning from a long journey.
“Yes, yes, yes!”
Jia Zheng reacted and said, "Quick, send a message to the Wang family, asking your eldest brother and his family not to come."
He was so unlucky that he married this woman.
"……no!"
Wang Shi didn't dare to confront Jia Zheng, and looked at her daughter with a flushed face, "It was fine last time when we accepted the marriage proposal, but if my parents don't come this time, the old lady from the Cheng family will definitely gossip about it behind my back, right?"
"I'm not afraid!"
Yuanchun didn't want her mother to use her as a tool to speak anymore, "She can talk about her own things, and I will live my own life."
“It’s not a question of whether you’re afraid or not.”
Wang was excited. "It's your third aunt Jia Jin. She's divorced! How can a divorced woman like her come here to bring bad luck on your wedding day? I think we should tell the old lady to let the eldest brother and the third sister rest outside for a day and not come into the city for the time being."
This? Jia Zheng couldn't help but look at his daughter again.
“…This is impossible.”
Yuanchun didn't expect her mother to say this. "I told Third Aunt last time when I wrote to her. I want to invite her to drink my betrothal wine. I want to let those people from the Cheng family see that the daughters of our Jia family are not something that anyone can bully."
My grandmother once said something similar to my mother. When my aunt asked her what she thought, this is what she said.
Moreover, the news that the uncle beat all the members of the Min family, forced them to divorce, and took back all the dowries was already spreading in the capital.
Some say it's good, some say it's not good.
But Yuanchun knew that this was a great thing for their family.
If this could be used to force the two uncles to not dare come home, it would be equivalent to sending a signal to the outside world that the Jia family and the Wang family are already at odds.
“You you…”
Wang was so angry with her daughter.
As expected, if you don’t keep it by your side, you won’t be close to it.
She's not dead yet, but she just can't stand her uncle's family...
"Your uncle is a troublemaker, so are you going to be a troublemaker too? You are not afraid that your third aunt will bring bad luck to you, but you should also consider others."
Wang was furious and was about to leave, "No, if you don't go and tell the old lady, I'll go and tell her myself."
Yuanchun was raised by the old lady.
The Shi family also has a daughter.
Besides, how many people would be willing to sit at the same table with a woman who had just divorced?
Yuanchun wanted to hold her mother back, but unexpectedly her mother turned around and slapped her in the face.
Bang~ At the critical moment, Li Wan, who had just come in, rushed over and used her arm to block for her sister-in-law, "Madam, today is my sister's big day, you can't fight."
"She is ignorant, Li, and you are also ignorant?"
Wang felt a little regretful the moment she slapped him. If the mark was left, not only would her daughter be unable to see anyone, but she... might be sent to the ancestral hall again soon.
But now that she was blocked by her wife, she felt relieved and let her anger run wild again, "Does your Li family have any divorced women coming home? You..."
"Mom~~~~"
Yuanchun interrupted sharply, "If you want to go find the old lady, then go ahead. My aunt is at the old lady's place, and she's waiting to settle accounts with you."
Go settle accounts with her?
Did she think she was scared? Wang was furious, but she quickly realized that since the sisters-in-law were married in different places, it was difficult for them to communicate, so most of the letters between them were sent home first.
she……
Thinking of the letter that she had deliberately wet and then not delivered to her sister-in-law, Wang's heart skipped a beat.
"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry!"
Yuanchun no longer cared about her mother.
But what her mother said just now seemed like a curse on the women of the Li family, so she had to apologize.
"…Today is your big day."
Li Wan never blamed Yuanchun.
Anyway, she just needs to know what kind of people her parents-in-law are. "Prepare yourself well."
If the mother-in-law wants to commit suicide, then let her do it!
After the old lady and her aunt had lost their last bit of patience with her, Li Wan felt that she and Jia Zhu could finally feel relieved.
Anyway, she felt really relaxed during the time her parents-in-law lived in the ancestral hall.
"Li..."
Seeing her daughter-in-law ignoring her, Wang tried to save her dignity. Just as she was about to scold her, a little maid rushed in and said, "Master, Madam, it's bad. The first and second masters have been impeached."
At the same time, when she received the news, Grandmother Jia was in a very upset mood.
Too.
If you want to divorce, just get a divorce. Why beat up the whole family? Sheer has gone too far!
The old lady was very angry.
Her son and grandson will be implicated by Jia Jin's concubine!
"…The court hasn't even ended yet, how come this news has spread now?"
Jia Min looked at her mother and asked the little maid in confusion.
But how could the little maid know? She stood there blankly, not knowing how to answer.
"Old lady, old lady~"
Ping Er hurried over, "The impeachment of the old master and the second master was done by Censor Zheng. I heard that he threatened to impeach the old master for assaulting an official of the court last night, and the second master was impeached as a byproduct."
"Oh~"
When Jia Min received her eldest brother's letter, she felt that her eldest brother was going to be impeached. "Don't worry, mother. Our master receives several impeachment letters every year. Although my eldest brother has done something a bit too much, the generals in Yansui didn't say anything. He just wrote a letter of defense at most."
"...When your father was around, did I ever worry about it?"
Grandmother Jia sighed, "Your elder brother is a fool. Lian'er has finally come this far. If he is implicated..."
"How can it be a burden? It may be a good thing!"
Shen Ning came in, fanning herself, "The mansion should investigate who brought this news in at this time."
This? Grandmother Jia and Jia Min looked at each other and understood a little.
"You mean the Wang family?"
"Maybe... there is also the Cheng family."
Shen Ning took a sip of tea and said, "Of course, they could just be pawns pushed forward by others."
Grandmother Jia: “…”
Isn't this enough to make her worried?
"Mother!"
Jia Min thought of something, "Since I have been impeached, I will just send someone to send a message to my eldest brother, asking him to go to the Wang family first to vent my anger for my eldest sister!"
What? Grandmother Jia was stunned.
Shen Ning, on the other hand, showed appreciation, "That's a solution."
Anyway, I have to write a letter of defense.
Since Jia Jin's affair was not dead, it spread out, making it seem as if the Jia family was unreasonable.
But Jia Lan’s case... is completely different.
Doesn’t the emperor claim to be loyal?
Why did he allow his uncle to mistreat his daughter like that right after his uncle passed away? "So...what if..."
The old lady looked at this and then that, very unsure.
"Mom, do you still want to be disgusted by the Wang family?"
The eldest brother's return just happened to solve the situation that their family was unable to solve.
