little wife

Chapter 51

Almost without any suspense, Yu Huiyao's marriage scheduled for February 28 was called off.The man also intentionally pretended to send the horoscope approved by the Taoist priest to Yu Huiyao, saying that the two had hit each other, and it was not suitable to be a husband and wife.

Yu Huiyao tore the horoscope to pieces, put the betrothal gift at the gate of Yu Mansion and smashed it all into pieces, put down her words, and asked people from the Xu family not to appear in front of her in the future, and beat them once they saw each other.

The Xu family has a big business and a lot of people, so they are so easy to get along with. The next day, rumors spread in the capital, saying that Yu Huiyao's character is too hard, and he restrains his father and mother. , saying that Yu Huiyao did not abide by women's morals, gave and received privately with others, and belittled her husband's family.Those harsh words were actually Zou Zelin's words mocking the Xu family that day years ago.

Ning Luo's heart was burning with worry, Yu Huiyao was so arrogant, how could she bear this, I'm afraid she would be burned with anger.After she hurriedly informed her parents-in-law, she went to visit Yu's mansion, but the gate of Yu's mansion was closed, only a small porter poked his head out and said with a mournful face that no one was there, please forgive me.

No one felt bad about the New Year's stall, and Ning Luo didn't blame Yu Huiyao either, and left her only a letter of consolation.

Just as she was about to step into the carriage, she glanced out of the corner of her eye, and saw a very familiar person standing at the entrance of the alley. Upon closer inspection, it was Yu Huiyao's childhood sweetheart, Xu Guanliang, the fiancé.

Xu Guanliang is a white-faced scholar with delicate features, but at this moment there is a slight panic between his eyebrows and eyes.He looked around to see if there was no one, and quickly ran to Ning Luo with his long gown in hand, and said hastily, "Sister Ning, please take a message to Huiyao, I will find a way, and I will definitely not let this marriage happen." If it fails, she must wait for me."

Ning Luo looked at him coldly, but if he had a bit of a man's responsibility, he wouldn't make this marriage so out of hand. "I don't understand about Huiyao, you should tell her face to face."

"I... I really didn't want to retire. My grandmother and the others decided on their own, and my father was still taking care of his father-in-law's affairs." Xu Guanliang felt aggrieved, "Huiyao's temper is too strong, why bother with my family like this? What about tit-for-tat? It will be embarrassing to meet in the future. And those gossips, I naturally don’t believe them, but Huiyao also needs to learn from them..."

He was chattering there, Ning Luo shook her head secretly, it is really naive that this person is still talking nonsense here, imagining that there will be a turnaround.She didn't want to talk to this person anymore, so she got into the carriage.

Opening the curtain and looking out, Xu Guanliang chased after the car for two steps, but he didn't dare to speak loudly.

The friendship of more than ten years was nothing but a disaster, and all of it was wiped out.

Imagining Yu Huiyao's mood at the moment, Ning Luo felt sour and quickly closed the curtain.

Back at the mansion, she sorted out the matter carefully, and always felt that there was something strange about it.In her previous life, she was trapped in the mansion by Yang Yan, and she didn't know much about the court affairs, but she clearly remembered that this disaster did not happen to Yu's family before she got married, and Yu Huiyao still married into Zhang's family.

King Jing'an...

A flash of light flashed in her mind. King Jing'an is the natal family of the Ning He family, and the marriage between Ning Luo and Jing Yun has connected Ningguo's mansion, Dingyunhou's mansion, and the Prince's East Palace together. Because of King Jing'an's entrustment and Yu Fengdong's selfishness, these people rushed to intercede, and Emperor Shenghe would clearly see this newly formed alliance that was not considered an alliance, and the military department would also be classified as the prince's camp.

Yang Yan chose the best opening this time. As a prince, he acted impartially, making it impossible for people to catch him.

However, if Jing Yun and the Ning family are not rescued, it will inevitably make people feel chilling; You also have to be suspicious, and the rest of the people may also be marked as a party, which is very unfavorable to them.

Thinking of this, Ning Luo felt chills in her heart, and walked out quickly. Today is just the fourth day of the new year, and there is still time for Jing Yun and his family to discuss the matter.

Before he left the hospital, someone almost ran into him head-on. It was Jing Yun who came back, and Zou Zelin came with him.

Ning Luo hurriedly asked someone to prepare tea, and as soon as he invited him into the hall, Zou Zelin said with a solemn expression: "Yuanxi, this is up to you, you must not stand by and watch."

Seeing that they were about to talk about serious matters, Ning Luo was about to evade, Zou Zelin bowed deeply to her: "Siblings and sisters, don't leave, you should also say something about the Yu family's affairs, you and Yu Huiyao are best friends, you can't See them down here."

Ning Luo was stunned for a moment, and asked in confusion, "Why did you get involved with this matter..."

Zou Zelin was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Master Yu and I are just acquaintances. But now it is clear that Master Yu is only accused of negligence in protecting that person, not to mention that although he protected that person two years ago, he did not This person was also resigned from his silver and official position, and he should not have received such a severe punishment, but now his colleagues in the court are too afraid to avoid the Yu family, and no one is willing to speak justice for him, so that his children have suffered like this. It is a shame and a shame to be divorced innocently, it is really hateful! After the imperial court is over tomorrow, you and I will go together, together with those from the Ningguo government, and His Majesty will definitely be merciful and lenient."

"Zelin, you are wrong," Jing Yun said in a deep voice, "If we are not willing to help each other, if we get involved in the matter of the Yu family, we may not only be able to appease His Majesty's anger, but may add fuel to the fire. Tomorrow it will not be me I can't go to intercede, even my father-in-law and uncle Ning's, I told them not to act rashly for the time being."

Ning Luo was both surprised and delighted. She didn't expect Jing Yun to be able to peel off the cocoons. She thought of this level. She just wanted to agree, when she heard a "pop", Zou Zelin slapped the table with a palm and stood up, furiously : "Jing Yun, I didn't expect you to be so ruthless! I misread you! It's good that you all stay out of the matter. Tomorrow, I will ask His Majesty for mercy. If I can't ask, let Your Majesty throw me into the prison together." .”

He waved his hands angrily and wanted to leave, but Ning Luo shouted anxiously: "Brother Zou, please stay!"

"What else is there to say?" Zou Zelin smiled mockingly, "Everyone sweeps the snow in front of the door, don't care about the frost on others' roofs. I have opened my eyes. Handkerchief handing over is just a joke."

"Brother Zou, why did you make such an assertion so easily?" Ning Luo smiled, "The flowing water is blocked, but it can meander forward; the boulder blocks the flow, but it can only look at the water and sigh. Why did Brother Zou become stupid all of a sudden? Is it because caring leads to chaos?"

Zou Zelin stopped in his tracks and looked at the couple in astonishment: "What do you mean..."

Jing Yun said helplessly: "Zelin, you have to change your temper. I only said that you can't act rashly, and I didn't say that you can't think of a way."

Zou Zelin let out a long breath, showing a bit of embarrassment: "I'm too impatient, there are too many people who are unlucky in this world, it's so irritating."

Ning Luo asked tentatively, "Are you talking about the Xu family?"

Zou Zelin's face was full of anger: "Don't say this name, it's too dirty to say it. Something happened to the fiancée's family, and she actually divorced and remarried. The man's face was completely humiliated by him. That day I was just in the restaurant. I said it casually, but it was used to make a big fuss, I am sorry for the sister of the Yu family!"

"He... is going to marry another one?" Ning Luo was stunned. At noon, didn't Xu Guanliang still say that he was trying to persuade his family?

"We are talking about marriage. It is said that she is the daughter of Li Shilang's family from the Ministry of Rites." Zou Zelin sighed, with a bit of worry in his eyes, "Sister Yu's family... is really unkind to others, let's not mention it, first Let’s talk about rescuing Master Yu.”

It is indeed inappropriate to bring up the relationship between children at this time, even if Zou Zelin has intentions for Yu Huiyao, and Yu Fengdong will take the blame, the Zou family will absolutely not agree.

The three of them discussed for a long time, but there was no perfect solution, there was only one tactic of "drag". If Yang Yan was really targeting them, they would not say anything, and they would definitely mess up his plan. At that time, Jing Yun chose the opportunity to act again, so as to minimize the impact of this matter in front of Emperor Shenghe.

The development of the matter was as expected by Jing Yun. Although Emperor Shenghe was furious, he did not order to convict him immediately, but asked Yang Yan to continue to investigate the corruption case of the Ministry of Military Affairs. After pleading guilty, he was sentenced to death and killed. Only Yu Fengdong insisted that he did not join forces with others. The case involved a lot. He was the former minister of the Ministry of War. After all, Yang Yan did not dare to use harsh punishments, so it dragged on for more than half a month. .

Indeed, there were people in the court who taunted Ning Zhenchuan and Jing Yun in a strange way. Even the crown prince summoned Jing Yun to inquire about this matter, but Jing Yun and Ning Zhenchuan remained calm, saying that His Majesty knows everything clearly and will definitely make a fair decision. .

At the end of the month, Emperor Shenghe seemed to have just remembered this person, and asked in front of Jing Yun. Jing Yun figured that Emperor Shenghe should calm down from his anger at this time, so he begged, and only said that Ning Luo had been in the past few days. Because Yu Huiyao can't sleep peacefully every night, and Yu Fengdong seems to be involved, and I hope His Majesty will show mercy.

The next day, Emperor Shenghe decreed that Yu Fengdong, as Minister of the Ministry of War, neglected to observe his subordinates, so that corruption in the Ministry of War became commonplace, and he was downgraded to a seventh-rank county magistrate.

This is much better than originally expected. Although the northwest is remote and the folk customs are tough, there is always hope of a comeback in the official position.

The worry and toil of the past half month finally paid off, and Jing Yun finally let out a long sigh of relief.

"What about Huiyao?" Ning Luo lay on top of him, drawing circles on his chest anxiously.

"Maybe I will go to the post together with you, but you can bring your family." Jing Yun said absent-mindedly.

The northwest is full of yellow sand, the cold wind is bitter, and there is little rain. This girl who looks like a flower bone is afraid that she will wither within a few months. Once married, Huiyao can stay in the capital."

"This kind of marriage, it's better to see it early and break it up early," Jing Yun said in a deep voice, "If you enter the door, you might suffer."

Ning Luo thought about it, and then pondered: "Do you think Zou Zelin is interested in Yu Huiyao? Can you find a way to match them?"

The person below didn't make a sound for a long time, Ning Luo couldn't help raising her head to have a look, Jing Yun's eyes were dark, and she was looking at her steadfastly.

"Why are you looking at me like this?" Ning Luo asked in wonder.

Jing Yun buried his face in the ends of her hair and took a deep breath, a fragrance came from the hair, which was intoxicating.The person in front of him will soon belong to him completely. When he thinks of this, his blood boils all over his body.

"Luo'er," he said in a low voice, "don't you think you're taking too much control? You should think about it carefully, how to consummate the marriage with me."
