Chapter 45 Eunuch
Ye Zhixing remained unmoved, still speaking in a cold voice, "Qin is still your elder no matter what. How can you attack your elders? What did the Master teach you?"
Ye Qingshang fell silent. Ye Zhixing had always been known as a strict father in the mansion. He always worked in the Imperial Hospital and was the head of the Ye family. However, he rarely stayed in the mansion, so everyone in the mansion was afraid of him.
Ye Qingshang was the legitimate daughter, but she was no exception. After hearing what Ye Zhixing said, she knelt down wisely.
"Qin took care of the flowers and plants in the backyard, which made the Ye Mansion have such a beautiful landscape. Not only are you not grateful, but you even threatened to destroy it? I wonder when you will destroy the Ye Mansion?" Ye Zhixing continued to scold.
The atmosphere in Qifang Pavilion was heavy, and no one dared to breathe. Then Ye Zhixing said, "The Chu family wants Clivia, so they can go directly from Qifang Pavilion. Shang'er attacked my sister and elders for such a trivial matter. This is a disgrace to our family. I will punish you by kneeling in the ancestral hall today."
Being in the ancestral hall for one day was not a big deal, but for Ye Qingshang, who grew up in a pampered environment, it was already a severe punishment.
Not only that, Ye Zhixing also blocked her way to deliver Clivia to the Chu Mansion, which undoubtedly made Ye Qingshang feel uncomfortable.
Ye Zhixing is a good official, but not a capable household manager. He doesn't know why the fights in the mansion started and where they ended. He always hopes to instill fear in the people in the mansion by punishing them blindly, but he doesn't know that what is sprouting in his heart is real hatred.
Ye Qingshang suffered a setback in Qifang Pavilion, which laid the foundation for targeting Qifang Pavilion in the following years, especially when she found out that Chu Xiu was interested in asking about Ye Si.
Women dress up to please themselves, and also go crazy for the men who please themselves.
When she was young, Ye Qingshang was openly happy for Chu Xiu. Because of the friendship between their fathers, she thought that marrying Chu Xiu was a foregone conclusion. However, she did not expect the invasion of the southern barbarians and the relocation of the royal family's capital to the capital, which changed the situation of these aristocratic families.
Ye Zhixing was also the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau. When the royal family moved the capital, they were afraid that he would get sick during the journey, so the first people they took away were the Ye family.
But things had changed for the Chu family. The reasons for the war in Yin Kingdom were very complicated. One was the invasion of the southern barbarians, and the other was the rebellion of Prince Ning, which were actually the same thing. Prince Ning coveted the throne and colluded with the barbarians when he was enfeoffed in southern Xinjiang, which led to the subsequent war.
The East Factory was entrusted by the royal family to search the Ning Prince's Mansion. They found letters of collusion between Ning Prince and the enemy in the mansion. The royal family was furious and beheaded Ning Prince outside the city of Nanjing. All the officials of Ning Prince's Mansion were implicated, including 23 officials and 352 subordinates.
Chu Guangyao was an official of the Ning Wang Mansion and was beheaded the day before the capital was moved.
At that time, Chu Xiu had changed his career path to become a civil servant and got an official position in the Ministry of Revenue. Talents were rare in the royal family, and the war was a time when people were needed, so Chu Xiu escaped the death penalty.
But he ultimately couldn't escape his guilt. The royal family spared his life and allowed him to accompany the army to the safer Shangjing, so that he could serve the court. However, the Ministry of Revenue, which was involved in the royal expenses, naturally wouldn't allow the son of a criminal to stay there. In the end, the royal family dismissed him from his post, castrated him, and sent him to serve in the Imperial City Guard to guard the imperial city as a way to forgive his father's mistakes.
Ye Qingshang heard the news when she first arrived in Shangjing and found it hard to accept for a while. After hearing this, Madam Ye was secretly thinking about finding another husband for her daughter.
After all, Chu Xiu was incompetent. Although he did the work of a military officer, he was still a eunuch in the final analysis.
The eunuchs were in power in the Dayin Dynasty, and many officials wanted to kill them. How could Ye Qingshang be allowed to wade into this muddy water of such an unpopular group?
