Chapter 96 Punishment World (13)
Shui Lan's last straw was gone.
But he was unwilling to give up.
He contacted his mother's family again. His mother had passed away a long time ago, and he had no contact with his uncles. When he was emperor, he only treated them with courtesy.
But Shui Lan still believed that they would help her, but when she arrived she was still driven out.
Everyone knows what the emperor will choose: a nephew who only has superficial affection for them, or a nephew who can make use of them.
Not to mention, Hao Lingyao is now more popular than Shui Lan before, so even if they want to overthrow him, it is impossible.
Shui Lan had no way of accepting this, so he could only go to them one by one and try his best to convince the ministers whom he had never taken seriously before.
But he was hungry. He had not eaten a single bite since he came out of prison, and he had no money, so he had to walk all the time. Now he was even hungrier.
But he had no money and had to starve.
As Shui Lan walked on the street, it seemed that his sense of smell became more sensitive. He could smell the aroma of roast duck in the distance, and even the steaming hot buns next to him.
He swallowed hard, thinking about the food he had eaten before. Which dish had not gone through several steps of processing before it reached his mouth? When had he ever eaten something so "rough", not to mention that he wanted to drool just by smelling it now.
Hungry, very hungry.
But the emperor's dignity prevented Shui Lan from robbing directly, nor could he say that he would pay later. He was too embarrassed to do so, so he could only starve.
Just when Shui Lan couldn't figure out how to get food to survive the day, she suddenly heard someone next to her say.
"You know what happened with the Wang family, right? Their daughter, who was married to a high-ranking official, returned home. Now, the high-ranking official's soul has disappeared, so the girl called Jiu Niang returned home, and the Wang family won't let anyone in!"
Shui Lan's ears pricked up when she heard Jiu Niang. It wasn't that she was still thinking about the other person, but because she hated her.
If it weren't for Wang Jiuniang, how could the Queen's plan be realized so easily? After all, who wouldn't think that the Emperor was ridiculous?
Those in power love to vent their anger on others. How could they be wrong? It was all Wang Jiuniang's fault.
She must be some kind of demon, otherwise how could she seduce me into doing such a thing? He was clearly a wise ruler in the past.
Now Shui Lan doesn’t think it’s her fault anymore, it’s all Wang Jiuniang’s fault.
The person who was speaking continued, and Shui Lan immediately focused her attention and listened attentively.
"That woman still has the nerve to go back to her parents' home? Come on, let's go to the theater. I want to see what kind of trouble a woman like that can cause."
Shui Lan followed silently. He was very hungry now. After all, Wang Jiuniang was his woman, so it was her duty to serve him.
The Wang family was in chaos. Ever since Wang Jiuniang came back, this family, which was not very united to begin with, quickly fell apart.
The Wang family originally had many children. Of course, all the girls were married and would not stay at home, but Wang Jiuniang also had many brothers. They all married, and their wives gave birth to children, not just one.
A large group of people were crowded in the Wang family's house. The living space for each person was already small, and it would explode if there were more people. Then Wang Jiuniang came back.
Before, Wang Jiuniang gave them money so she wanted to come back and live there, but now she can’t give them any benefits and wants to ruin the reputation of their Wang family. Who would welcome her back!
Wang Jiuniang quarrels with the Wang family almost every day. She was originally a very gentle woman, but Hao Lingyao spoiled her and made her arrogant. Later, Shui Lan gave her the confidence, and now she can't stand such grievances.
Anyway, the villagers now regard their family as a joke. They used to be so arrogant because their daughter married well, and they looked down on the people in the village. Now no one wants to help them.
Shui Lan followed all the way and felt her feet aching from walking. Finally, she arrived here and saw Wang Jiuniang, whom she had been crazy about, fighting with the Wang family like a shrew.
This is no longer a quarrel but a fight!
"I gave you so much money before, and now you don't want to take me in. What's the matter? Do you want to stay away from me because you see that I'm in such a state? Is this how ungrateful the Wang family is?"
The Wang family is large, and it can basically be said that the female members were unilaterally beating Wang Jiuniang.
The men of the Wang family were proud of their status and were unwilling to attack women, even if they really wanted to kill Wang Jiuniang.
Wang Jiuniang was not jealous. If anyone hit her, she would pull their hair, and she would pull it very hard, so that the two sides could suddenly be balanced.
"What nonsense are you talking about? What did you mean by bringing back silver? Stop talking nonsense!"
After all, the scholar's father is a scholar. He is usually very pedantic and cares most about his reputation. How could he allow it to be tarnished like this?
Even if what Wang Jiuniang said was right, it was all a stain in his eyes.
After the scholar's father spoke, the group of female soldiers became even more excited. After all, their Wang family still had descendants. If their reputation was ruined, how would they live in the future and how would they gain a foothold in the village?
The people watching the show around me were also discussing it, and their voices were getting louder and louder, as if they were afraid that others couldn't hear them.
"I knew it before. Although Wang Jiuniang is not a good person, she is really good to the Wang family. Otherwise, how could the Wang family afford to build such a big house?"
The Wang family was really poor before, and a group of people were really crowded together. It was with the money from Wang Jiuniang that they were able to build the big house they have now.
Now no matter how the Wang family tries to wash it, this point cannot be washed away.
When the scholar's father heard that the discussion was becoming increasingly unfavorable to them, his face turned as dark as a stone.
If this matter is not resolved, he will really lose face.
"Go and get the money from home!"
The scholar father said to his mother who had been promoted to grandmother.
Naturally, my mother was unwilling to take it. That money was saved with great difficulty. But since her husband had spoken, she did not dare to refute him. After all, her father, the scholar, was the head of the family.
My parents took out all the fifty taels of silver they had saved at home, and the scholar's father took it and walked in front of Wang Jiuniang.
"This money is what you gave to your family. Now take it and get out of the Wang family. We don't have a daughter as shameful as you. We will have nothing to do with the Wang family in the future!"
Although it was painful, it was still worth it if fifty taels could drive Wang Jiuniang away and prevent her from continuing to embarrass herself here and ruin their reputation.
Wang Jiuniang knew that the amount of silver she had given to her family was definitely more than fifty taels, but looking at the looks of her brothers and sisters-in-law who seemed to want to eat her up, she knew that she would not be able to get any benefits even if she stayed in this family.
