Chapter 511: Suicide
All the elders of the Du family who went to the capital were defeated.
Du Zichun's parents had to take action.
When Zhu Huaizhen heard about this, he wrote a letter to his elder sister Zhu Huaishu.
The content of the letter was very concise, namely, illness.
Zhu Huaizhen was worried that her letters had been read.
So, this illness could be that she, Zhu Huaizhen, is sick.
She has indeed had a dry and itchy throat recently, and she coughs occasionally, which makes her very annoyed.
This cough has only been going on for a short time, but it's back again.
Is she worried too much recently?
It seems so, I haven’t listened to enough dramas.
So, she reclined on a beauty couch surrounded by lacquered and gold-painted scrolls of poetry and paintings, fanning herself with a mahogany-handled round fan embroidered with pomegranates, cats, and butterflies, moving it up and down like a lazy Persian cat, listening to "Peach Blossom Fan".
Orioles chirp at dawn in the jade trees of Jinling, flowers bloom early in the Qinhuai waterside pavilions. Who knew the ice would melt so easily? I watched him build his red mansion, I watched him entertain guests, and I watched his mansion collapse. Here, amidst the mossy, blue tiles, I once slept in a dreamlike state; I've witnessed fifty years of rise and fall. No one in Wuyi Lane is surnamed Wang, ghosts cry at Mochou Lake, and owls roost on Phoenix Terrace. Dreams of the ruined mountains are the most real, the old land hard to lose. I don't believe this map is changing manuscripts. I'll compose a lament for Jiangnan, and sing it until I grow old.
Alas, I won’t be able to eat Buddha Jumps Over the Wall soon, so I might as well have a bowl of it.
Sugar-heart abalone, pineapple sea cucumber, white shark lips, young deer tendons, claw meat, golden shark fin, ivory clam meat, spider fish glue, quail eggs, ham, pork ribs, clean winter bamboo shoots, king oyster mushrooms, chrysanthemum mushrooms, wild pine mushrooms, morels, snow bamboo fungus, Shaoxing wine, eighteen ingredients, eighteen delicious flavors. The moment you lift the lotus leaf covering the jar, the rich meaty aroma is so fragrant that even a Buddha would jump over the wall.
"Your Highness, Du Zichun's mother knelt down to Zhao Lian'er and cried bitterly." Tu Mi smiled with gloating pleasure.
How could a mother-in-law kneel down to her daughter-in-law, unless she cannot be both a mother-in-law and a daughter-in-law.
"Tu Mi, elder sister is sick." Zhu Huaizhen said slowly.
Princess Rongyang Zhu Huaishu is ill? How did her highness know about this?
Tu Mi thought for a moment before reacting.
Her Highness was afraid that Zhu Huaishu would get sick.
Sure enough, when Du Zichun threatened to sever ties with the Du family in Shangjing, Princess Rongyang fell seriously ill, and Emperor Hui of Jin promised a thousand taels of gold to find a doctor for Princess Rongyang. This matter spread from Northern Jin to Northern Zhou and became a hot topic.
Then, Du Zichun moved to Taoyao Tower to live with Zhao Lian'er.
All expenses are paid by Concubine Bai Chen.
Concubine Bai Chen couldn't get any money from Zhu Huaishu, so she could only live frugally and secretly sell her jewelry. She became more and more depressed day by day until she fell ill.
"Your Highness, the rule of Taoyao Tower is that the food and lodging for this month must be paid in advance at the beginning of the month. If there is more, it will be refunded and if there is less, it will be supplemented. Please remind Du Zichun." Tu Mi brought over a stack of account books and smiled happily.
Haha, Zhao Lian'er and Du Zichun will soon be unable to afford to live in Taoyao Tower.
"Remind Du Zichun in front of Zhao Lian'er." Zhu Huaizhen said slowly.
"Your Highness, I'm afraid Zhao Lian'er will pretend to hang herself." Tu Mi couldn't help but frown.
Later, Tu Mi realized that this was exactly the effect her prince wanted.
Sure enough, on the day when Zhao Lian'er and Du Zichun were unable to pay for food and lodging, Zhao Lian'er hung a white silk scarf on the beam of the house and almost committed suicide, but was rescued by Du Zichun.
"Zichun, my health is too poor. I'm afraid that I will be a burden to you and make you compromise with the Shangjing Du family. Why don't I go first and fulfill your unyielding character. When the time comes, you can return to the Shangjing Du family and treat me as your widow and enshrine me in the ancestral hall. I will be very satisfied..." These were Zhao Lian'er's original words, and her crying was heartbreaking.
