Chapter 473: Sisters
Erya felt uncomfortable and a nameless anger was burning in her chest.
The family had been living a law-abiding and diligent life, but they were suddenly struck by misfortune.
Now, facing the fate of being exiled thousands of miles away, we still have to shout "Thank God for his grace."
This frustration made her blurt out in hatred: "Why didn't Dad rebel in the first place?!"
This is what she thought about repeatedly while in prison, and she still feels hard to come to terms with it.
After risking his life and making great achievements in battle, what did he get in the end?
Being denied everything just because of your background?
Erya is more sensitive about her background than others.
She put herself in his shoes. If her biological parents committed a heinous crime punishable by extermination of the entire clan and implicated her, she would really die unjustly.
She felt it was unfair.
At that time, she thought that her whole family was doomed.
I can't help but hate Xiao Yan for being too honest.
——Even if I die, I’d better take a few people with me.
Now seeing that Doctor Hu was worried about his parents and wanted to move his family south, Erya was moved, distressed and sad.
"What are you talking about?" Lu Qiniang glared at her. "If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't survive, would there be any good people who would rebel?"
"Aren't we going to die? Do we have to wait until the knife is on our necks before we think of resisting?" Arya was not convinced.
Daya said gently, "You can read more history books when you have time. Second sister, the word 'rebellion' is simple to say, but it involves a lot of things."
First of all, you have to have a legitimate reason.
Okay, you can make one up at will.
Secondly, you must have your own power.
Thanks to the foundation he had laid in the past, Xiao Yan managed to pass the test.
Third, we must win the support of the people, which is the most important thing.
Although the common people at the bottom all have their own sufferings and the emperor's mercy is limited, overall, there is not much controversy about the fact that the emperor is a wise ruler.
Having a new emperor wouldn't make things any better, and the common people wouldn't have any motivation to join the rebellion, right?
Daya analyzed them one by one.
Erya was not convinced, "Then we can only be slaughtered by others?"
"Yes, under imperial power, countless bones are piled up. Not to mention the distant past, there was the famous Mengxi injustice case in the previous dynasty, where thousands of people died. General Meng was the Grand Marshal of the Army, but did he rebel? At the end of the previous dynasty, the Ming King, because he was feared by the Crown Prince, had his entire palace of thousands of people massacred in one night..."
There are countless examples.
Rebellion is never like on stage, where success can be achieved by simply changing a scene.
Especially since Xiao Yan had never thought about it before.
"Then next time, if that prince ascends the throne and goes crazy, won't we die again?" Arya was emotional.
"I don't think so." Daya's eyes were firm.
This time, they were prepared.
Just as Arya said, maybe this road is not feasible, but we will not sit and wait for death.
Lu Qiniang said, "Alright, alright, stop saying such disrespectful things. If you accidentally say them out loud, it could be fatal. Please help me figure out how to persuade Old Hu not to go with you."
She is not afraid of hardship, but she is really afraid of owing favors that she cannot repay.
The mountains are high and the roads are long, and we don’t know what the situation is in Qiongzhou. What if Doctor Hu is implicated?
"Sister..." Erya looked at Daya, her eyes full of hope.
Daya nodded.
She believed that this was also her father's idea.
As he was speaking, Jiang Yi walked in briskly, a gratifying smile on his face: "I have good news! Marquis Qingping will be executed on a chosen day, and the Seventh Princess has been demoted to a commoner! But..."
She paused slightly, her tone tinged with sarcasm, "Whether it's derogatory or not, it doesn't make much difference. I heard he's gone crazy."
"Good! They deserve it!" Erya applauded, her eyes flashing with joyful hatred. "That family is rotten to the core. Not a single one of them is a good person!"
"That concubine Bai never left the mad Seventh Princess." Jiang Yi said, "She can be considered a loyal servant."
Lu Qiniang nodded, "It's all in the past, we just need to take care of ourselves."
She was going to see Xiao Yan tomorrow and was planning what to bring him. She was also worried that he was not having a good time in prison.
She told herself that no matter whether it was good or bad, she had to show her strength when she saw Xiao Yan and not cry.
They have survived the disaster and should think positively.
"Let's have a nice meal tonight to celebrate." Jiang Yi said, "Let's order a banquet."
Hearing this, Lu Qiniang hurriedly said, "No, no, we can cook for ourselves. You should go back quickly, after all, the eldest lady is upstairs."
Jiang Yi is married now, and there are so many eyes watching her in the Zhou Mansion. Lu Qiniang is afraid that she will not go back and stay at her parents' home, which will cause criticism.
"Go back?" Jiang Yi laughed. "Oh, Qi Niang, you're worrying too much. In my eyes, there's not a single person in the Zhou Mansion who can fight!"
She raised her chin slightly. "I, Jiang Yi, want to stay here today, so I'll stay here. Whoever dares to say anything more, let him come! I'm just worried that no one will rush into my trap! I want to see who is tired of living and dares to meddle in my affairs?"
Not only did she want to stay, she also wanted Zhou Xiaoyao to come and accompany her.
Erya praised, "Aunt Jiang is so courageous. Mother, you and Aunt Jiang should learn from her and stop trying to keep things quiet all the time. It makes me angry just watching her."
"You are the only one who can do it." Lu Qiniang glared at her.
Jiang Yi leaned over the cradle, looking at the sleeping little Si Ya, her tone full of envy: "I wish I could give birth to such a beautiful daughter."
"There will definitely be one." Lu Qiniang said with a smile.
Daya was very attentive. She noticed the suppressed emotion in Erya's eyes and quietly tugged at her sleeve. "Come on, go to my room and help me put my things away." They had just arrived, so what did they really need to pack? Daya was just looking for an excuse to take her sister away from the hustle and bustle and find a quiet place to talk.
After entering the house and closing the door, the sisters' world fell silent. Daya looked at Erya and asked softly, "You and Chang Hui...?"
"We've separated." Erya spoke first, her voice deliberately steady. She lowered her head, her fingers unconsciously entwined with the tassels hanging from the bed curtains, as if that could hide something. "Sister, don't ask. I'm fine." She paused, raised her head, and tried to force a relaxed expression. "I don't want to think about those things right now. I'm just thinking about what I can do when I get to Qiongzhou."
She is a very realistic person at heart.
Knowing how much criticism and pressure she would have to endure if she remained single for her entire life, she chose Chang Hui for herself.
Chang Hui is very good, good in every way, better than she expected.
But the reality is that just because two people love each other, they won’t necessarily be able to stay together forever.
"Sister, don't worry about me," Erya took a deep breath, her tone much calmer, "I know sadness is inevitable. But it's okay to be busy. Chang Hui is a good man, he will definitely live a happy life in the future," she paused, as if to convince herself, as if to declare, "Me too!"
She straightened her back as if to give herself strength:
"I'm such a good person, I can't be so unlucky all my life!"
Daya reached out and hugged her, patting her back gently. "If you want to cry, just cry. It will feel better after you cry."
Tears welled up in Erya's eyes, but she said, "Don't be so cheesy, why should I cry?"
"Good Zhuozhuo, I know you won't change your mind once you've made up your mind. Mother is still weak, and Third Sister is naughty. You'll have to take extra care of her from now on."
"Don't worry, leave everything to me. Just do what you have to do and take good care of your fourth sister."
The conditions in Qiongzhou are too poor, so I can’t take Si Ya with me.
"It would be best if Third Sister didn't go either. But Dad loves her the most, and she's in love with Dad, so she probably has to go too." Erya said, "Then let's go together. There will be more people and we can look after each other."
There are still ten or eight days to prepare, and we should plan what needs to be planned and prepare what needs to be prepared.
At the same time, Yun Ting was hugging Jiang Quan and crying bitterly.
He is heartbroken!
But instead of showing any sympathy, Jiang Quan frowned, pursed his lips, and looked very angry.
