No matter how much resentment Da Huo had, she could not change her current situation. She had ruined a good card.
In many rebirth stories, the heroines were not kind to their husbands’ family members in their previous lives. After rebirth, the heroines changed their attitudes and started to be nice to their husbands’ brothers and sisters, and to their own sons and daughters.
But Da Huo had no intention of being nice to these people, he just wanted to escape.
According to Da Huo's memories from her past life, the Liu family wasn't too bad. Several branches of the Liu family were separate entities, and while Liu Yulian wasn't as accomplished as she was in this life, she still earned money by embroidering and allowed Liu Qingyun to study.
Liu Yulian later married a general with a facial scar, but she still managed to make quite a bit of money. Liu Qingyun later passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi. Even if Liu Yanjing didn't have a leg, their family still had a future.
However, Mrs. Huo had no intention of changing herself. She felt that she had a bad life in her previous life, with no one to serve her and had to do those things. So she divorced Liu Yanjing in this life.
It wasn't that Heaven hadn't given Mrs. Huo a chance. Heaven had given her a chance, a rebirth, a chance to choose again. Even if she chose to divorce, or remarry, as long as she lived a peaceful and stable life, that wouldn't matter.
But Mrs. Huo just wouldn't accept this. She felt that since she was reborn, she should have the best life.
"Ah ah." There was a piece of cloth stuffed in Mrs. Huo's mouth, and she couldn't speak at all.
The Ouyang family decided to remove the maidservants who had previously attended to the eldest Huo, and to have other maids serve her. Uncle Huo had also arranged for a nanny to take care of the eldest Huo. Uncle Huo had already told the nanny that she would be in charge of the eldest Huo, as a deterrent to the Ouyang family.
Uncle Huo didn't want his daughter to die of illness. He wanted her to live. This was his last kindness to the Huo family.
After they returned to the Ouyang family, Lord Ouyang allowed Mrs. Huo to continue living in the original courtyard, but someone was guarding the gate. A new gate had to be built outside the courtyard to prevent Mrs. Huo from leaving at will.
The Huo family still needs someone to manage the family, but it has to be someone other than the eldest Huo’s housekeeper.
Lord Ouyang was reluctant to let his concubine take charge of the household, and his biological mother was capable, but her vision was much worse. Lord Ouyang just thought that there were only a few people in the family, so he asked the housekeeper to take more charge and he would take care of it himself. That was it.
After Da Huo was locked up in the yard, she wanted to go out.
"I am the wife of the prince of the Marquis's Mansion and the legitimate daughter of the Earl's Mansion. Let me out." Mrs. Huo was still yelling.
Old Madam Ouyang was standing outside the courtyard. She felt that Mrs. Huo was crazy. If Mrs. Huo wasn't crazy, why would she say that she was the prince's wife?
The wife of the Crown Prince of Jingning Marquis's Mansion is Princess Zhaoyang, but because Princess Zhaoyang is a royal daughter, everyone calls her Princess instead of the Crown Prince's Wife.
Old Madam Ouyang sighed. She now regretted marrying her son to the Huo family.
"Mother." Lord Ouyang came over and saw Old Madam Ouyang standing there.
"It's okay, just take a look." Old Madam Ouyang said, her voice a little low. She had sacrificed a lot for this son. But it was also she who found such a daughter-in-law for her son, who almost killed her son. Fortunately, her son was fine. "Why don't you divorce her?"
Old Madam Ouyang thought that if her son divorced Mrs. Huo, he could still marry again.
"Few people dare to marry their sons," Lord Ouyang said. "If I really divorce her, what about your granddaughter? Will the Huo family be willing to let me divorce her?"
Lord Ouyang had long anticipated the Huo family's attitude, which was why he did not divorce the eldest Huo.
"It's just a courtyard." Lord Ouyang said, "Let her stay there."
As for Mrs. Huo, if she wants to yell, then she can yell. After a while, she will stop yelling.
Sooner or later, Mrs. Huo will realize that no matter how she shouts, it’s useless. Lord Ouyang thought that he had no face left anyway.
Because of the incident with the eldest Huo family, the Huo family girls were having trouble finding marriages. The original marriages had all been called off because they were worried that the Huo family girls would go crazy and kill people. They didn't want their sons to be killed by the Huo family girls.
As a result, not many people were interested in the daughter of the Huo family. This made the other members of the Huo family dislike the eldest Huo even more. The eldest Huo family was a disaster.
No matter how crazy Da Huo was in the Ouyang family, or how much she said, no one believed her.
With the memories of past and present lives mixed together, Mrs. Huo felt very sad.
But no one expected that before she had been imprisoned for half a month, Mrs. Huo was thinking about committing suicide, thinking that as long as she died, she could be reborn again.
If she were reborn again, she would definitely find a way to make Liu Yulian die on the way to exile. Then the Liu family would not be so good, and she would not feel that her choice was wrong.
Da Huo did not die, she was rescued by people arranged by Lord Ouyang.
There was no way Lord Ouyang would let Da Huo die so easily. If Da Huo died, how would the Huo family view him? Of course, he had to let Da Huo live, and he had to let Da Huo live well.
"I want to be reborn again, I want to go back to the past."
"Liu Yulian shouldn't be alive."
"God has been the best to me. I am God's biological daughter, a fairy."
…
Mrs. Huo always said that, but Lord Ouyang never took her words seriously.
When Miss Ouyang came over, she also heard the shouting of Da Huo and knew that Da Huo had tried to commit suicide before. Perhaps because she had not succeeded in doing so, Da Huo did not do it again.
Mrs. Huo was still afraid, afraid that she would never live again. She was trapped in a courtyard, unable to leave. The Ouyang family let her scream and shout, not afraid of her words getting out, not afraid of embarrassment.
"Why not tie her up?" When Miss Ouyang heard what Mrs. Huo said, she felt that Lord Ouyang and the others should tie her up and stuff a cloth into Mrs. Huo's mouth.
"It's okay, let her be." Lord Ouyang said, "It will be fine after a long time."
If they kept Da Huo tied up, it wouldn't be of much use.
It would be better to let Mrs. Huo despair little by little. Mrs. Huo is a noble lady. It is really sad to see a noble lady be so hysterical.
The yard where Da Huo lived was a little distance away from where other people lived, so when other people heard what Da Huo said, it might not be so clear to them.
"What do you mean it will be fine after a while? Aren't you afraid that she will keep yelling like that?" asked the second Miss Ouyang.
"What will happen if we tie her up? Are we going to whitewash the situation?" Lord Ouyang was also a ruthless person. He let the Da Huo family suffer so much and brought disgrace to their reputation.
Apart from making Da Huo stay in the same yard, he did not do anything to her.
Didn't Da Huo like to say that she was a daughter of the Bo Mansion? Didn't she like to use the Bo Mansion to suppress others? The Bo Mansion just asked the Ouyang family to confine Da Huo to a courtyard, and the Huo family didn't say anything else.
If the Ouyang family kidnaps the eldest Huo family, then the Huo family will have something to say.
Lord Ouyang thought that since his family was already in such a state, they had no reputation. The big Huo family was so noisy that it would sooner or later affect the Huo family.
"This..." Second Miss Ouyang sighed. She could see her brother's dissatisfaction with the Huo family. He was doing this on purpose. Well, as a married woman, she couldn't handle these things at all. She should just let these people deal with it on their own.
Just as Lord Ouyang expected, the Huo family could not tolerate the eldest Huo family member making such a fuss. They were afraid that if the eldest Huo family member continued to make a fuss, it would be even more difficult for the Huo family girls to get married.
Then someone from the Huo family came over again, and two more maids and servants were sent over, asking them and the previous servant to take Mrs. Huo to the Huo family's farm first. These people were keeping an eye on Mrs. Huo, firstly to prevent her from running away from the farm, and secondly to prevent her from making such a fuss again.
Fortunately, there are not many houses near that village, and it is very quiet there.
After the people in Jingning Marquis' Mansion learned that Da Huo was sent to Zhuangzi by the Huo family, they did not feel much sympathy for her.
Mrs. Huo deserves it. She can't forget the past and she can't blame anyone else.
The people from Mr. Huo's house didn't dare to come to the house and ask Liu Qingyun and Liu Jia to go see Mrs. Huo. Mrs. Huo was so crazy. What if she hurt the two children?
"Aunt." Little Liu Jia ran to Liu Yulian.
Those servants sometimes gossip, and someone might talk about the affairs of the Huo family.
In order to prevent little Liu Jia from knowing about the affairs of the Huo family from others, Liu's mother also specifically told her granddaughter. Her granddaughter was relatively young, and if she didn't understand the situation and was fooled by others, Liu's mother would be distressed.
So Liu's mother simply told Liu Jia directly that Liu Jia also wanted to start studying, and when Liu Jia studied with those people, others would also say a few words.
The affairs of the Da Huo family are no longer a secret in the capital. The affairs of the Da Huo family are something that makes people feel very upset.
"What's wrong?" Liu Yulian asked.
"She's crazy." Liu Jia hugged Liu Yulian's arm, "We can't see her anymore."
"If you want to see her, you can go anytime." Liu Yulian said.
"No, no." Liu Jia shook her head.
Liu Jia didn't have a vivid memory of the past, but she knew that no one in her family liked Da Huo, and neither did her brother. So they shouldn't go see Da Huo anymore. If Liu Jia really wanted to see her, she'd wait until she was older, which wasn't the case now.
"Aunt, will I become like that in the future?" Liu Jia was a little scared.
"No." Liu Yulian consoled him, "Her last name is Huo, and yours is Liu. They are different."
Besides, Da Huo's madness is not hereditary. She became like that because she couldn't stand the gap between reality and reality.
Liu Yulian reached out and gently pinched little Liu Jia's face. "Don't worry, if you study hard and be more sensible, you won't end up like that."
"Well, you should be more sensible." Xiao Liujia said, "Where is your sister?"
"In the Ouyang family, her last name is Ouyang." Liu Yulian said. They couldn't take the child in just because she was Liu Qingyun and Liu Jia's sister. The child's biological father was still alive, so there was no need for them to do that.
What will become of that child in the future depends on how the Ouyang family educates that child. It is also very pitiful that the child is so weak.
"Yes." Liu Jia said, "She wants to stay with her father. Later, my brother will go to see her. I won't tell anyone."
"When are you going to see her?" At this moment, Liu Qingyun came over, "I haven't told you yet."
After Liu Qingyun finished speaking, he looked at Liu Yulian again, "Aunt."
"If you want to go see the child, you can go," Liu Yulian said, "wait a few days."
"No, not now. Wait a little longer." Liu Qingyun said, "If we meet again in the future, we can meet."
Liu Qingyun knew that he and that sister were not destined to be together. That sister was from the Ouyang family. If he always went to see that sister, it would not be good.
The two families had never interacted much, and Liu Qingyun still thought that since he had no ability at the moment, he still relied on his family. His family might not necessarily want them to have more contact, so Liu Qingyun looked at Liu Jia, who was more than just a sister.
They can prepare something for the little sister of the Ouyang family and hope to see her again when they have the chance.
The Huo family would take care of the child, and Liu Qingyun didn't want to be entangled with the Huo family again. Liu Qingyun had read a lot of books and was much more mature. He would not be so foolish as to let others take advantage of him.
When Liu Yulian heard what Liu Qingyun said, she couldn't help but think that children in ancient times matured earlier, and each of these people experienced some things very early.
"Have some cakes." Liu Yulian did not continue talking about the Da Huo family's affairs. They still focused on other things.
In the northwest, Liu Yanbo took the imperial examination for the scholar-official title. He passed, but ranked third from the bottom. At least he had achieved the title, and Liu Yanbo breathed a sigh of relief, knowing it would be difficult for him to pass the exam again.
In this exam, Liu Yanbo has tried very hard to change his writing style, not using too many flowery words. At least the article has some content, avoiding an article with no content and just some flowery words.
It was almost October at this time. The examinations for the scholar and juren were held at different times, with the juren exam being around October. Liu Yanbo took the scholar exam first, so it was possible for them to go to the capital at this time.
"Then get ready." Aunt Qing was in a good mood. Her son had passed the exam. As for her son's last place, it must be because he didn't perform well. Perhaps someone deliberately suppressed his ranking.
Su Qiuya didn't know what Aunt Qing was thinking. She just wanted them to return to Beijing as soon as possible. They had to sell some of the things they had bought in the northwest and buy new ones in the capital.
They won't come to the northwest in the future, so it's impossible for them to keep those things. The northwest is far away from the capital, and it's impossible for them to come to the northwest for such a small thing.
"You guys pack up first, I'm going to go to the third house." Aunt Qing still wanted the people from the third house to go back to Beijing with her.
They would have company if they returned to Beijing together at this time. The capital was so prosperous, why would the people from the third house stay in such a desolate place in the northwest?
Under the instigation of Aunt Qing, Aunt Chai also felt that they should go to Beijing.
"You have a skill, so why are you afraid of not being able to survive?" Aunt Qing said, "If you really can't survive, just starve to death at the door of Jingning Marquis's mansion and see if they will give you food."
"Okay, let's go to Beijing then." Aunt Chai said, "What about the fourth room?"
"Why do you care about them?" Aunt Qing sneered. "They are just the running dogs of the first wife's family. They want to stay here. Don't the people of the first wife's family have property here? The people of the fourth wife's family must want to stay here. It's no use for you to talk to them."
"That's right." Aunt Chai thought what Aunt Qing said made sense. They had not severed their relationship with the first wife, so there was still some hope if the third wife went to the capital.
No matter what Liu Yanyuan and his wife think, since Aunt Chai has made up her mind, the couple will follow her.
In Shiyuan Village, Liu Yanqing came back from the town. He knew that the third branch was going to the capital with the second branch.
"Tsk tsk, the people from the third house don't even think about the fact that the people from the second house aren't that kind-hearted. They just want to take advantage of them." Liu Yanqing said that even he understood this truth, and it was impossible for the people from the third house not to understand it, but they still followed him to the capital.
"It doesn't matter, let them go." Lin Xiaowan just thought about her family not having to go back to Beijing. They were living well in the northwest and there was no need to go back to Beijing.
After the people from the second and third houses return to the capital, they will still have to make some trouble.
Lin Xiaowan didn't think that they would be quiet after returning to the capital, because those people were very good at making trouble.
"I have to write a letter and tell my elder brother and the others." Liu Yanqing said. Even though he was far away from the capital, he had to find a way to curry favor with them.
"Write it, write it." There was no way Lin Xiaowan could stop Liu Yanqing from writing the letter.
"Even if the second and third wives sold their houses, there's no way they'd give them to us." Liu Yanqing thought about this again, "There's no way I could buy their houses anyway."
Liu Yanqing believed that his family already had a place to live, so there was no need to buy another house. Even if the second and third wives' houses in the village were new, they would be of no use.
The people in the second and third rooms really sold their houses at random, at low prices. They had to hurry to Beijing, and hurry on their way while the snow was not too heavy, so they could arrive early.
In the prefectural capital, after Qing Yi Niang returned, she thought of Madam Mei, the second young master. Her daughter was having a hard time in the Mei family, and the people in Jingning Marquis's mansion didn't know how to help her more, which made Qing Yi Niang very angry.
The crime does not extend to married women. It was the second wife who severed ties with the first wife, not Mrs. Mei Ershao.
Aunt Qing felt that Marquis Jingning and his men were too cruel. "I don't know how your sister is doing. She's having a hard time. When you return, you must go see her and help her find a solution."
"..." Su Qiuya didn't want to talk. She already knew what kind of person Qing Yi Niang was, so what about Mei Er Shao's wife? She thought Mei Er Shao's wife might be a replica of Qing Yi Niang, and might even be more unreasonable.
Su Qiuya was tired because there were too many bad things happening at home.
"If you ask me, you should take the imperial examination again," said Aunt Qing, "take it once, and then return to Beijing."
"It may be very cold on the road, so you need to bring more clothes." Su Qiuya said. With Liu Yanbo's grades, it would be good enough for him to pass the imperial examination.
In the original novel, when Liu Yanbo was taking the imperial examination, something happened at an inn where many scholars were staying. The students were suffering from diarrhea and vomiting, so many people were unable to take the exam on time. In this situation, Liu Yanbo was still a substitute.
This shows that Liu Yanbo's academic level is really not that high. It is because the heroine Su Qiuya married Liu Yanbo that Liu Yanbo's luck is so good.
"It's not easy to buy clothes if it gets cold on the road." Su Qiuya said, "You have to bring cotton-padded clothes and down jackets."
"..." When Aunt Qing saw Su Qiuya, she was busy talking about packing something, as if she didn't hear what she said.
Aunt Qing was unhappy, but they did have to pack up their things and return to Beijing.
