Chapter 1196 Know
Manbao sent Qiuyue away, then sat down beside the bed and asked Fu Wenyun, "Second Sister Fu, do you know about Lord Yue's remonstration?"
Fu Wenyun hadn't received the news yet. Upon hearing this, she looked up at Manbao and asked in surprise, "Really? I didn't know that."
Manbao sat opposite her and looked at her.
Seeing that she couldn't hide it, Fu Wenyun could only smile and say, "It's not entirely for you, I'm also trying to vent my anger."
Manbao said seriously, "I just went to see Master Yue. He was hit hard. I heard that someone tried to stop him and tore his sleeve."
Fu Wenyun's expression also became serious.
Man Bao said, "From what I've seen of those historical figures, those who were ruthless to themselves always succeeded in the end, no matter what happened, and they were also ruthless enough to treat others."
She looked at Fu Wenyun and asked, "Second Sister Fu, was it you who suggested this idea to Master Fu?"
Fu Wenyun did not regret it and nodded.
"Does Master Yue know?"
Fu Wenyun's eyes wandered, and after a while she shook her head, "Father won't tell him that this idea was mine, and my father-in-law won't think of it either."
Fu Wenyun smiled and leaned back on the pillow, saying, "He and my mother-in-law are the same in this respect. They both look down on women."
Manbao breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "That's good. But Sister Fu, do you really want to go back to the Yue family?"
Fu Wenyun said, "If I don't go back, where can I go?"
Manbao said, "My eldest sister has also been divorced. The laws of Jin are not too conservative. If you want to divorce, it is also possible."
Fu Wenyun tilted her head slightly, glanced at the child sleeping on the inside of the bed, and motioned for Manbao to go and see. "I fought so hard to give birth to him, and endured the pain of carrying him for ten months. Am I just going to abandon him like this and leave him alone?"
Manbao also looked at the weak child on the side of the bed and was silent for a moment.
Fu Wenyun said, "If he hadn't survived, it wouldn't have been difficult to divorce him. At most, my life would have been a little harder in the future, but I would have had an excuse to deal with my parents and I could have lived a free life. But now, I can't bear to do it."
She whispered, "You know, the Yue family won't let me take the child away, and I can't take him away either. If we divorce, his future will be so difficult. My parents won't agree to that either. Putting pressure on the Yue family is the best support they can give me."
Manbao also knew that her situation was different from her elder sister's, so he sighed and stopped persuading her.
Fu Wenyun, however, was very open-minded and said with a smile, "You don't have to worry about me. Didn't you say that there are so many sad people in this world, with so many people who can't even get enough to eat, or even suffer separation and death? My life is really not that sad."
"It's just that I think Second Sister Fu has always been smart, and sometimes the pain in her heart is even worse than the pain in her body."
Fu Wenyun smiled happily and said, "I know, but I've long since learned not to take things like this to heart. I'm not that narrow-minded."
Manbao smiled again upon hearing this, and nodded with a smile on his face, saying, "Yes, there are many interesting things in the world. Even if the door on this side is closed, there are still windows on the other side that can open and offer countless beautiful views."
Fu Wenyun couldn't help but tap her nose and said with a smile, "You're obviously younger than me, but you always like to teach me. Do you have any candy left?"
Manbao felt in his pocket, actually took a handful of candy from Koko and gave it to her, and asked, "How old are you and still like to eat candy?"
Fu Wenyun peeled one and put it in her mouth, smiling, "Everyone likes sweet things, no matter how old they are. Even my mother likes candy at her age. These past few days, I've been taking the bitter medicine you prescribed, and my mother won't let me eat anything too spicy. My mouth is bitter, and it's really uncomfortable."
The two stopped talking about Yue's family and started talking about some things from their childhood.
It wasn't until Qiuyue brought some snacks and took the kicking child out to feed that Fu Wenyun asked Manbao, "What happened between your family and the King of Yizhou? You..."
Fu Wenyun hesitated for a moment before asking, "Will you be in danger?"
Man Bao said: "They all said that we are under the emperor's feet. Now that everyone is watching, they will not attack us. I feel relieved."
Fu Wenyun sighed, "Who would have thought you had such a background? If Housekeeper Xu hadn't gone to the Imperial College to inquire, I would probably have never known about it."
Manbao said, "But after today, I'm afraid everyone will know about it."
Fu Wenyun thought of her father-in-law's remonstration, and smiled, "Indeed, after today, the whole world will know."
A censor who touched the pillar was considered to have died for his remonstration. Although Yue Wei did not die in the end, this matter was still a big deal and would surely spread throughout the capital.
It was just like beating the drum to report to the court before, and the whole capital knew about it. But no one knew whether someone wanted to cover up the affairs of Bai Shan and Zhou Man, or someone wanted to protect them, or both, and they worked together. As a result, the people in the capital knew that they had not reported much.
The version circulating now is that the King of Yizhou sent people to kill the Xiang clan in order to raise his own army, and he used the flood as a cover-up.
The orphans of the Xiang family have been trying to assassinate the King of Yizhou for many years, but they have never succeeded. The only legitimate son was also captured by the King of Yizhou, so they made a desperate attempt and struck the drum to report the incident.
It was also because of these discussions in the capital, among whom there were many people who thought that the Xiang family's situation was sympathetic. Therefore, although many people in the court wanted to execute the Xiang brothers on the charge of assassinating the emperor's relatives, they were suppressed and retorted by the emperor and other court officials who held opposing opinions.
Originally, only the matter of the Xiang brothers was spread, and the people in the capital felt that the King of Yizhou was cruel. As soon as Yue Wei stepped down, the whole matter began to be dug up. After all, this was something worth discussing after dinner.
As a result, the entire process of the birthday party was dug up and spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred.
This matter was not a secret in the first place. After all, there were so many people attending the birthday banquet that day. The families of officials above the third rank and their relatives all knew about it. The relatives and friends told their relatives about it, and basically all the families of officials in the capital knew about it.
The Yue family didn't know much about it, because they had just arrived in Beijing not long ago. Before Old Mrs. Yue had time to socialize with other wives, her daughter-in-law was busy giving birth, and the family began to become chaotic.
Lord Yue knows this.
But he only knew that the young master of the Bai family who filed a complaint with the emperor at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet was a student of the Imperial College, and the other woman was a little miracle doctor who treated the Empress and was famous in the capital.
Lord Yue, who never liked to get involved in the affairs of the harem, didn't know that the person treating his daughter-in-law was the famous young doctor in the capital until he woke up from his coma.
Old Madam Yue wiped her tears and couldn't help but mutter a few more words, "Master, why are you so depressed? What should I do if something happens to you?"
Lord Yue pointed at the water, feeling so dizzy that he couldn't speak.
As Old Lady Yue fed him water, she kept muttering, "Thank goodness the imperial physician and Doctor Zhou both said you're fine..."
Lord Yue finally spoke up. "Since we already have the imperial physician, why invite another doctor? If the imperial physician hears about this, wouldn't it be our fault?"
Old Madam Yue said quickly, "She's a good friend of Second Mother's. She came to see you when she heard you were injured. And she's not an unknown person either. She's a famous doctor in the capital. I heard she even treats the nobles in the palace."
Master Yue froze, his eyes wide open, and asked, "Who do you say she is?"
I ate in the dark and played with my phone for more than an hour. I was preparing to ask for leave when the phone rang. At that moment, I was so sad.
See you at ten o'clock tonight.
