Chapter 214 The whole family is exiled
Gu Qingcheng's mother Feng Ruyi also disliked the people from the second house. She stood beside Gu Qingcheng without showing any weakness, as if she was going to support her to the end.
"Sister-in-law, you speak better than you sing! It's really not a compliment!"
"I heard that you have made a lot of money in Jiangnan over the years, your pockets are bulging, and your backs are straight."
"Have you ever thought of our eldest wife once? Have you ever given us a tael of silver? Have we taken advantage of you in any way?"
"You've only been back for a little over a month, and you've already made the house a mess."
"You also destroyed our eldest wife's shop and farm, leaving us with nothing. Shouldn't you compensate us for these losses?"
"Besides, some of the shops were clearly my dowry, so why did the deeds end up in the hands of your second wife? Shouldn't you give me an explanation?"
"You stretch your hands so long, open your mouths so wide, and are so greedy. Aren't you afraid of choking to death?"
This was merciless.
He was basically pointing at the noses of Gu Xiangsi and her daughter and scolding them. He also peeled off their faces, threw them on the ground and stomped on them hard.
Gu Xiangsi was so angry that he rolled up his sleeves and wanted to fight.
She is not a poor little girl who can be bullied. When she gets angry, she is absolutely unstoppable.
How can I be bullied like this?
But then I thought, if things really get too awkward, I will be incompatible with the first wife in the future. It will be bad for them to live in the same house without seeing each other.
She forced herself to suppress the anger in her heart.
Although Gu Xiangsi and her daughter were scolded and humiliated, Gu Xiangsi still refused to give in. She deliberately raised her voice and said, "Grandfather said that your aunt is not good at running the shop, so he wants your niece to help you. This way, the Grand Tutor's Mansion can make more money."
"My niece agreed to help out out of kindness. Grandfather did this for the prosperity of the Grand Tutor's Mansion."
"I never expected that the shop would be destroyed before I even took it over. How could my aunt blame me for this?"
After hearing this, Mrs. Gu Feng Ruyi felt that Gu Xiangsi was really good at confusing right and wrong, and she was so angry that she gritted her teeth.
Not wanting to be outdone, he continued, "My shop has been safe and sound for over twenty years. How come something bad happened as soon as you came back?"
"You must have done something immoral outside, and someone came looking for revenge, which is why my shop was innocently implicated."
"Gu Xiangsi, you are such a disaster! As soon as you return to the capital, you bring disaster to the mansion, making everyone in the family restless."
After hearing these words, Song Lianghua was so angry that his eyes were spitting fire. He almost couldn't control his temper and wanted to go up and tear Madam Gu's annoying stinky mouth apart.
Dare to say that her daughter is a disaster.
This is such a vicious statement.
It's really abominable.
If this word gets out, her daughter's future will be ruined!
It would be very difficult for her daughter, who is so beautiful and smart, to find a satisfactory husband in the future.
Song Lianghua roared hysterically, "What right do you have to slander Xiangsi with such nonsense?"
"How do you know it's our lovesickness that's causing this?"
"Words are not enough. If you have the guts, then produce solid evidence. Otherwise, you are framing me. This is shameless and despicable."
For a while, the first and second houses of the Grand Tutor's Mansion were arguing fiercely, with both sides firing at each other.
It's almost to the point where they are incompatible.
When Grand Tutor Gu saw how loudly they were arguing, he tried to stop them many times, but to little effect. Finally, he became so angry that he fainted.
Suddenly, chaos broke out in the Grand Tutor's Mansion.
When Lin Pianran heard the news reported by the secret guards, she laughed so hard that she almost couldn't breathe.
She looked at Huo Yuchen with a smile, "Your Highness, we haven't even had a chance to make a move yet! The Grand Tutor's Mansion is already in chaos. The drama that follows will surely be even more exciting."
"Okay, then let's wait and see!"
*****
After the Yong'en Marquis's couple and Wang Chongyang returned to the mansion, they heard about the many things that had happened in the mansion recently and were even more frightened.
They really didn't expect that all the bad things they had done in the past would be discovered.
While they were racking their brains to think of a solution, the government officials heard that they had returned and came directly to their door and put the three of them in jail.
All the prisoners were present, and within just two days, the authorities had thoroughly investigated the case.
Bai Wuchang, the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, wrote a memorial directly, detailing the whole story and presented it to Emperor Wu of Qin.
Emperor Wu of Qin was besieged in Pingcheng during this period and finally escaped back to the capital.
The depression in my heart had been pent up in my chest, and just when I was looking for an outlet to vent it, I didn't expect that the case of Yong'en Marquis Mansion would be presented to the emperor.
It was like walking into a gun.
After reading the memorial, Emperor Wu of Qin was so angry that he threw it down and cursed, "The family of Yong'en Marquis's Mansion are shameless and despicable!"
With a flick of his imperial pen, he issued an imperial decree, severely criticizing the Yong'en Marquis's family for a series of crimes including marriage fraud, money deception, misappropriation of Han Yunxi's dowry, and secretly keeping a mistress.
The title of Marquis Yong’en was directly stripped away.
He also granted Han Yunxi and Wang Chongyang's request for divorce.
At the same time, he ordered the Yong'en Marquisate to compensate Han Yunxi for her dowry according to the price, without missing a single piece.
Finally, the entire family of Marquis Yong'en was exiled to the remote Lingnan area, and Wu Zhao was never allowed to return to the court again.
Upon hearing the emperor's verdict, Lin Pianran felt very happy.
I finally feel that Emperor Wu of Qin has done a great thing.
Han Yunxi was so happy that she cried and cried uncontrollably while holding her child.
She and her child finally escaped from the man-eating den of Yong'en Marquis's Mansion.
Of course, she couldn't do it if she relied solely on her own abilities.
Here, Crown Prince Huo Yuchen and Jingzhao Prefecture Governor Bai Wuchang both played a decisive role.
Her heart was filled with gratitude towards them.
After crying her heart out, Han Yunxi took Lin Pianran's hand and said excitedly, "This time, we were able to escape from the Yongen Marquis Mansion, that cannibalistic place, all thanks to the help of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Sister, please thank him for me."
"You're welcome. We're family, so we shouldn't talk behind each other's backs. This is what I should do."
As soon as the voice fell, Huo Yuchen pushed the door open and strode in from outside.
Han Yunxi hurried forward to greet him, but was stopped by Huo Yuchen who took a step forward.
"We are all family from now on, there is no need to be so formal!"
"I heard that your mother and her group will arrive in the capital in a few days..."
