Dress up and fight!

Chapter 1447 Princess, please be a person (28)

This repeated blow made Mrs. Tai finally look like an old man of her age.

Due to these people's indifference to Madam Tai and the eldest girl's hatred for her, only occasionally did someone think of throwing a steamed bun in Madam Tai's yard.

The long-term hunger made Mrs. Tai lie on the bed and cry every day, her voice hoarse like a female ghost crawling out of hell.

When the neighbors heard this, they all felt terrified.

Finally one day, Mrs. Tai's crying stopped, and everyone in the house felt relieved.

After another two or three days, the mother-in-law of the mansion found two untouched steamed buns in the yard of Mrs. Tai. After entering the yard, she found that Mrs. Tai was already dead.

After all, they were not the serious elders of their own family. After saying bad luck, they found a thin coffin and a piece of land to bury Mrs. Tai.

Mrs. Tai has been domineering in Yichang Hou Mansion all her life, and it is embarrassing to end up like this now.

As for other people's lives, they are not much better.

It would be better for those whose parents are still alive. If the elder brother and sister-in-law are in charge of the family, returning home like them will be a complete drag.

Especially the second wife, she was not only driven back to her natal home, but also returned to her natal home with Xu Wenzhi who had become a living dead.

Her father is dead, and her mother lives with her elder brother.

After the second wife returned home, her eldest brother took pity on her very much, and even proposed to buy her a small house for her to live in with her husband and children.

Her mother built a shop behind her sister-in-law's back for her to make ends meet.

The second wife was naturally grateful to her mother and brother, but within a few days, she felt unwell.

The second wife is used to living a wealthy life in the Hou's mansion. She has two sons and a daughter together. Now this house is too small to live in.

She could only force herself to continue sleeping with Xu Wenzhi who had turned into a living dead.

And the two maidservants sent by her elder brother live in the woodshed.

Because the second wife didn't care about Xu Wenzhi, Xu Wenzhi's body smelled bad all the year round.

The second wife wanted to buy a big house so that she could live separately from Xu Wenzhi.

But in the capital, where every inch of land is very expensive, if you want to buy a house, you can only sell the shop that her mother gave her.

The second wife was still sensible, knowing that the shop was her only livelihood, she did not dare to sell the shop rashly.

It's just that there are two servant girls serving five masters, and one of them is a living dead person, so they are really too busy.

Therefore, the second wife could only endure the smell and wait for the day when the Yichang Hou Mansion will turn around.

In the second wife's mind, as long as Ruiyi is disposed of, she will still be that glorious second wife sooner or later.

Even the second wife has an unknown mind, the whereabouts of Xu Yanzhi and Xu Jun are unknown, the Marquis Mansion has not yet been divided, and Xu Wenzhi is already the only surviving male descendant of this generation.

If something happened to He's eldest son, would she have just picked up a big deal for nothing?
This belief has always supported the second wife to persevere.

So, after learning the news that the plaque of Yichang Hou Mansion was demolished, the second wife went completely crazy.

Taking advantage of the middle of the night when there was no one around, she covered Xu Wenzhi to death with a pillow, and then sat quietly next to the corpse all night.

It wasn't until the next morning that I ran out crying to report the funeral.

Since he couldn't take it back to the Hou's Mansion, the only remaining son of the Yichang Hou's Mansion would be useless.

Although the working ability of these officials in Beijing is not strong, their speculation about the new emperor's mind is first-class.

After discovering that the new emperor's attitude towards Jin Qing was gentler than that of the previous emperor, someone immediately joined him.

The most obvious manifestation is that there are many more people who want to catch up with Jin Qing every day to send greetings to Jin Qing's mansion.

For these people, Jin Qing's performance was also very straightforward, directly shutting everyone out and seeing no one.

If this is the case, it can't change everyone's determination to add icing on the cake.

After hearing the news of Xu Wenzhi's sudden death at night, before the second wife could find someone to bury Xu Wenzhi, the Yamen who had a keen sense of smell sent a foreman over for an autopsy.

They claimed that Xu Wenzhi was an official of the imperial court and had to be inspected before being buried.

After hearing this, the second wife's expression froze instantly.

That foreman was also a shrewd person, and immediately cheated on the second wife.

The second wife was already nervous, and if she was cheated like this, she would be telling the truth.

Murdering one's own husband is a felony in any dynasty, and the second wife was soon imprisoned, and even her brother was implicated.

The whole family couldn't lift their heads up.

As for Mrs. He, she is staying at a relative's house, waiting for her natal family to come and pick her up and go back to Jiangnan.

A Yichang Marquis Mansion in Nuoda became torn apart just like that.

Without the protection of the Marquis Mansion, everyone would really have to rely on their own efforts to live a good life in the future.

Jin Qing has been living a very leisurely life recently, because the emperor has spoken, and Jin Qing will soon leave for her new fiefdom.

The impending invasion of the Kingdom of Jin has always been a concern of the emperor.

Those envoys from the Kingdom of Jin who came to beg for the princess' marriage had left long before the new emperor ascended the throne.

For these envoys of the Kingdom of Jin, who is the emperor is not important to them.

The important thing is whether they can take advantage of the instability of the imperial power and seize the time to complete their great cause of occupying the Kuang Dynasty.

In fact, the emperor didn't really believe that Jin Qing could help him stop the Jin Dynasty's invasion.

He was kind to Jin Qing only because he sympathized with what happened to Ruiyi and wanted to make up for what Ruiyi had suffered in the Kingdom of Jin these years.

Moreover, Jin Qing could be regarded as the person who helped him ascend to the throne from the side. The emperor felt that paying more attention to Jin Qing would be repaying Jin Qing's favor.

Besides, Jin Qing, a regicide, voluntarily left the capital far away, and the fiefdom he chose was near the border of the Kingdom of Jin.

The emperor's original intention was to send Jin Qing away far away, and it would be best not to return to Beijing for the rest of his life.

Now that Jin Qing is obsessed with wanting to conquer the Jin Dynasty, the emperor followed Jin Qing's wishes. Anyway, Jin Qing's chosen fief is next to the Jin Dynasty, so they will meet sooner or later.

The emperor also dispatched 200 guards to Jin Qing, claiming to assist Jin Qing in fighting the gold.

Among them was the young man who was lent to Jin Qing by the emperor.

On the surface, it seemed that these valiant guards accompanied Jin Qing to defend the frontier.

But in fact, the emperor secretly ordered the young man, saying that Jin Qing's mind is not clear, and he must manage Jin Qing so that she does not let her take the initiative to provoke trouble.

It is best to delay their war with the Jin Dynasty for a while.

But Jin Qing took the conditions he had negotiated with the emperor seriously.

Before setting off, Jin Qing happily gave the emperor a menu, on which the prices were clearly marked for the corresponding prices of the generals of each rank in the Kingdom of Jin.

Looking at the price list on that piece of paper, the emperor approved it without hesitation, and then sighed secretly: What a crime, the big aunt is even more crazy.
