Brother Shu Wuluan looked at this scene with Shen Yan, and wanted to scold the palace guards for not being too serious and just subduing her, but as soon as the words came to her lips, a clear and elegant voice from Idegu beat her to it at the right time, "Mother! Have you had enough trouble?"
Although this sound was as gentle as the wind, it made Madam Tie stop instantly.
Brother Shu Wuluan was surprised. He followed the sound and found that the person making the sound was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl.
This girl was born with delicate eyebrows, regular facial features, a pale little face, lightly stained with tears, but she had an air of elegance! This is Tieli's daughter.
It is said that although Tieli was an evil man during his lifetime, he was a truly loving father in private. He loved his beloved daughter very much and regarded her as the apple of his eye. He raised her in a deep boudoir and never showed it to others. This was the only thing he did in his evil life. With a woman, it can be seen that he is greedy for money but not for sex, so that there is no male to continue the relationship.
At this time, the girl was squatting under the coffin and simply bandaging the wound on the old housekeeper's head. Judging from her pale face and thin and trembling arms, she was too frightened by what she had heard today.
Tie Li has always loved this only daughter, and he guessed that he would not reveal a single word about his corruption to her, and then tainted her mind. After a long stalemate, she regained consciousness from the pain and spoke to stop Tie Li. Shi.
The girl whispered to the servant behind her, "Please help the housekeeper down first, and we will invite a doctor later to take a look at him."
Her voice is as soft as cotton, and anyone who listens can feel her compassion.
The old housekeeper glanced gratefully at this kind-faced young lady, and was supported by his servants as he slowly walked out of the mourning hall.
The girl slowly stood up and came close to her brothers Shu Wuluan and Yan Qisha. She bowed leisurely and generously, "My little girl, I beg you two adults to forgive me. My mother was so sad that she committed such a stupid thing and delayed it." It’s your errand. If I offend you, I’m willing to take the responsibility for you as my mother. I’ll obey your orders in everything!”
After saying that, he bowed deeply to his brother Shu Wuluan.
Brother Shu Wuluan looked at the girl carefully for a moment, and a little surprise flashed between his eyebrows. He didn't expect that Tieli and his wife could raise such a daughter who was so knowledgeable, and she was not evil at all.
Just as he was about to raise his arms to signal her to stand up, Yan Qisha heard Wen Ya say, "It's okay, Miss, please get up. I won't embarrass you, sir, but I'm afraid I can't delay this errand today any longer."
After saying this, he quietly glanced at his brother Shu Wuluan.
Brother Shu Wuluan gritted his teeth and stared back at him with a cold face. He was annoyed in his heart that he was overstepping his authority and interjecting on his own. Then he stretched out his hand to help the girl up and said, "Miss Tie, please relax. I am not a meddlesome person. Today's meeting I won't take it to heart."
The girl's eyes are like clear springs, her eyelashes are clear and crystal clear, and her little face, which should have been childish, is now covered with a faint sense of vicissitudes of life. It looks like it is full of pity, "The adults are generous, and the little girl is grateful." Not enough! However, I have one more thing to ask for. According to the custom in my hometown, my father needs to remain in mourning for seven days before his body can be cremated. Can you please ask the Lord to plead with the monarch on your behalf and move out of the Iron Mansion after the death of my father is over? "
Brother Shu Wuluan raised his eyebrows. This was not a difficult matter. Seeing her filial piety, he was slightly moved. He did not refuse or immediately made a guarantee. He only said: "I don't dare to pack this matter." Whether King Piao will allow it, but I am willing to try my best for the young lady."
"My little girl, I would like to thank you in advance." The girl took a step back, knelt down at the woman's feet solemnly, kowtowed deeply, and then stood up and said, "Then please take action."
As she spoke, the girl retreated to Mrs. Tie, caressed her dislocated knee and helped her aside.
The palace guards found an opening and rushed straight to the back door in a swarm.
"No, no, you all stop..." Mrs. Tie looked miserable, still howling hoarsely without giving up.
The girl took Tie's arm, and with tears shining in her eyes, she begged in a painful voice, "Mother, don't be stubborn anymore. If my father is really wronged, the monarch will make a clear decision. Besides, those people want to live in peace and happiness, and if they have nothing to do with their father, How can someone without a grudge go to the Yamen for nothing? Do you really want us, the Tie family, to be guilty of flouting national laws, resisting decrees and disrespecting the government before you give up? My daughter has no father, and she doesn’t want her dearest mother to die. Lose! If you still feel sorry for your daughter, please stop making trouble, okay?"
Looking at her daughter's sad little face, Tie felt like a hundred claws were scratching her heart.
Her husband Tieli was not born a greedy and evil official. Although their family property was rich in silver, a small part of it was the hard work savings of the couple who lived frugally for half their lives.
She was not unaware of Tieli's corruption, and she often tried to persuade him from the sidelines, but he said that in order to create a beautiful Weiyang life for his beloved daughter Xinlian, he was not afraid of anything he had done, even if he ended up being notorious in the end. Everything is for my daughter!
And the reason why she herself knew that the matter was exposed and there was no way to change it, but she was still struggling on the edge of the dead end, was because she wanted to desperately fight for some money for her daughter to rely on, so as to avoid the pain of sleeping in the open in the future!
However, at this moment, it can be seen from the pained look on the daughter's face that no matter how rich and powerful it is, it cannot compare to the reality of a family! I had known this...
Finally, Mrs. Tie burst into tears and fell into the girl's arms.
Seeing the mother and daughter crying together in grief, Brother Shu Wuluan felt mixed emotions in his heart for a while. He couldn't tell whether he should be sympathetic or sad.
She sighed leisurely and stepped aside. When she turned her head, she found that there was no trace of Yan Qisha. This man came and went without a trace.
The palace guards went in and out of various rooms in the backyard of the mourning hall, carrying large and small boxes one by one, counting and registering the findings one by one, and finally sealing the boxes. It took half a day to get everything sorted.
Ge Shu Wuluan briefly scanned the account books handed over by the registrar: 800,000 taels of silver, 500,000 taels of gold, countless antiques, calligraphy and paintings, precious jade articles, and stacks of house deeds and land titles...
Seeing this, she was secretly shocked. This iron plow was really a black heart and a black liver!
With his second-grade official position, he could only earn more than two thousand taels of silver per year. In addition to the additional rewards from the monarch, he had served for a hundred years without eating or drinking, and the salary he had accumulated was not even one-tenth of the salary before him. number!
I'm afraid the king will be angry once he sees this account book!
Brother Shu Wuluan frowned, closed the book, and glanced at the mother and daughter who were kneeling under the coffin and regaining their composure, silently burning paper money.
With a wave of his hand, he ordered the palace guards to carry the silver box out of the mourning hall, return to the palace first, return the account book to the registrar, and send it to the inner palace to be presented to the monarch for review. After giving careful instructions, he walked up to the mother and daughter.
"Thank you, sir, for taking care of your little girl's request!" The girl knelt low on the ground, her voice slightly hoarse, while Tie Shi secretly shed tears beside her and said nothing.
Brother Shu Wuluan nodded slowly and looked at the two of them silently for a moment, "I hope... I will mourn and obey!"
Finally, he left these words and exited the mourning hall.
