Chapter 246: The Concubine and the Fang Family Sever Relationship
The concubine took back the letter of severance of engagement.
She looked at Fang Zhang coldly: "The time is coming."
"If you don't choose, you will be sentenced to fifty strokes of the cane and three years in prison. The others will be sentenced to twenty strokes of the cane."
"Come here, execute the sentence with normal force."
When Fang Zhang and the others heard that the execution would be carried out with normal force, their faces turned pale with fear.
The force of the execution is crucial.
Some of them looked to be torn apart on the surface, but in fact they only suffered minor injuries.
Some injuries may appear to be fine on the surface, but in fact their bones are broken.
If they were executed with normal force, even if they didn't die, they would at least lose half their lives.
"Mother." The Fang family's daughters-in-law were anxious. "Please give me some advice."
"This punishment is no joke."
Fang Zhang was also panicked.
The daughters-in-law are young, and most of them can survive twenty strokes of the cane.
She would definitely be beaten to death.
That bitch Fang Yingnan refused to give in.
For now, I can only sign the severance agreement.
She will come and apologize after Fang Yingnan calms down.
With Fang Yingnan's personality, as long as she cries poor and acts pitiful, Fang Yingnan will obediently pay the money. She doesn't believe that she can't control him.
"You forced me to do this. Don't beg me to restore our relationship in the future." Fang Zhang made up her mind, signed her name on the letter of severance and pressed her fingerprint.
Xie Yingmian raised her eyebrows slightly.
The relationship actually ended.
The concubine has finally stood up this time.
Yu Lingye had a complicated expression.
He knew better than anyone how much his mother valued the Fang family.
The fact that my mother was able to issue a letter of severance proved that she had given up on the Fang family.
But how long can this despair last?
"The letter of severance should be made in triplicate. Each party should keep one copy. According to the status of the Concubine Mother, another copy should be submitted to the Imperial Household Department." Yu Lingye said, "Doctor Cui, please make this trip."
Doctor Cui said, "I'm familiar with Yuhuyuan. I'll go right away."
Fang Zhang still wanted to stop it.
After all, the letter of severance of engagement was in the hands of the concubine, and it would be invalid as long as the concubine destroyed it.
It won’t work if it is submitted to Gotoin.
Once the Gotoin Temple registers the severance of the relationship, it will be announced to the world.
If you regret it, you have to go through a series of complicated processes.
It can be said that once you register with Gotoin, there is almost no possibility of changing it.
Doctor Cui didn't care what Fang Zhang thought.
After he got the letter of severance, he immediately delivered it to the dean of Gotoin to complete the notarization.
That thin letter of severance was like a knife, cutting off the vines that had been entangled with the concubine for many years.
After the tangled and heavy vines were cut off, the toffee felt relieved.
"Madam Chang, please ask all irrelevant people to leave." said the concubine.
Fang Zhang was in a bad mood.
She also knew that she couldn't add fuel to the fire at this time, so she took her people away in disappointment.
The farce is over.
The concubine looked at the pale Yu Lingye with tears in her eyes: "Ye'er, I'm sorry."
"Mother woke up too late. You have suffered so much over the years."
"Ye'er, can you forgive your mother?"
"My mother was blinded by someone, which is why she did such a foolish thing."
"No, never again."
Yu Lingye said, "I have never blamed my mother."
"I'm just wondering, how long will the severance of ties between Mother and the Fang family last? One year, two years? Three years?"
The concubine was stunned.
She knew that Ye'er didn't trust her.
The concubine clenched her fists, and it was no wonder that Ye'er didn't trust her.
She knew her temper. This time, she saw the true colors of the Fang family, and Fang Zhang ignored her status as a concubine and beat and scolded her like she did when she was a child, which made her feel disheartened.
If you wait a few years,
Without the protection of Prince Ling's Mansion, the Fang family lived in poverty. If the Fang family committed another serious crime and Fang Zhang came to cry and complain about being poor, could she really be so cruel as to not do anything about it?
She herself knows the answer.
She can't do it.
so……
The concubine made a decision: "Ye'er."
"After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, I'll go find your sister."
"Over the years, I've been worried about the Fang family and you, so I've let your sister stay alone in the south to recuperate. It's a perfect opportunity for me to go and live in Ruihua Temple for a few years."
Yu Lingye raised his eyes.
Ruihua Temple is two thousand miles away from Shangjing.
The concubine has a special status. Once she leaves, it will be difficult for her to come back.
"Is mother sure?"
The concubine said, "Sure."
"I know my temper. After this period, I might soften my heart again." The concubine smiled bitterly, "I have seen clearly."
"If I stay in Shangjing, I will only hold you back."
"I'm going to Ruihua Temple. First, I can get rid of the Fang family's entanglement. Second, I'm old and there's nothing to fight for. You're married, so I don't need to worry about you anymore. I want to spend more time with your sister in my lifetime."
"As for the Emperor, I'll go and talk to him."
"Before the late emperor passed away, he gave me many imperial edicts. With those imperial edicts, the emperor dared not disobey."
After the Toffee said these words, she looked visibly tired.
She was beaten so badly that it hurt terribly when she moved. She had endured it for so long and had already reached her limit.
Xie Yingmian handed Yu Lingye a bottle of medicine and whispered, "Let Madam Chang apply some medicine to the Concubine Dowager. Let her think about it carefully. Let's go back first."
Return to Tanyueyuan.
Yu Lingye asked Xie Yingmian: "What do you think?"
Xie Yingmian knew that Yu Lingye was asking about the Concubine Dowager.
"That's good. To be honest, I didn't expect the Toffee to be so courageous."
"The Toffee's concerns are correct."
"The Concubine Dowager has severed ties with the Fang family. The Fang family will have to sell their houses and land to raise three hundred thousand taels. The Fang family's fortunes will surely plummet."
"The Fang family has been accustomed to spending lavishly over the years, and the wealthy members of the Fang family are also accustomed to spending money lavishly. Without the concubine as a blood bag and the Ling Wang Mansion as a strong support, the Fang family may fall into decline in a short time."
"When the Fang family really falls on hard times, Fang Zhang and the others will have to beg for food from the Concubine Dowager. Do you think she will help them, considering her soft ears?"
"As long as the Concubine helps them, they will gradually test her bottom line. Slowly, the Concubine will continue to become the Fang family's blood bag."
"It would be best to keep the concubine away for a few years."
Yu Lingye rubbed his eyebrows.
"Shangjing will soon be in turmoil. It would be a good idea for Mother to take refuge in Ruihua Temple."
Xie Yingmian: "Is the capital not peaceful?"
Yu Lingye: "Intuition."
Xie Yingmian: "I have a question. Since you have a fiefdom, why doesn't the emperor let you go there, but instead lets you stay in Shangjing?"
Yu Lingye didn't hide anything: "Only by keeping me in Shangjing, under his nose, can he feel at ease."
Xie Yingmian understood.
It was almost as she thought. Letting Yu Lingye go to the fiefdom was like letting a tiger return to the mountains.
The safest approach is to imprison the "tiger" Yu Lingye under our noses.
When it comes to political matters, Xie Yingmian doesn't want to ask too much.
"The Concubine Dowager severed her relationship with the Fang family, and the three hundred thousand taels of silver were successfully saved. My plan wasn't perfect, but it was quite successful."
"The medicine I gave you to pretend you're sick has reached its peak. Starting tomorrow, its effectiveness will wane. You'll be back to normal in about three or four days."
"so……"
Xie Yingmian stretched out her hand towards Yu Lingye, her eyes curved, "It's time to pay."
