Ye Zhen's hope of returning to the palace was completely shattered, so she changed her "kind and weak" style and became stronger. She knew that if even the Zhao family could not stand, there would be no place for her anymore. The Ye family was dead, and only she and Ye Fan were left. Originally, it would have been a great help if she had won over the other party, but she did not expect that Zhao Luli scolded her and Mingfang for committing an affair and ruined Guan Suyi's reputation, and both of them had already been sent to Cangzhou.
Ye Zhen thought about it, she had to give up, while Guan Suyi and Zhao Luli were not at home, she gave the old lady some medicine, made her sick in bed and unable to housekeeper, and then suppressed her daughter and took advantage of her son, and quickly took control of Zhao Up and down the house, recalled the companion room.
She had already dismissed Guan Suyi from Mr. Lu, publicized the fact that her stepson was sent to a dilapidated private school, and then signaled the few companions who had been driven away to lurking outside the door, just waiting for Guan Suyi to return home today and rush up to stop her. Noisy, publicizing the fact that she occupied the dowry of her original partner. With the two-pronged approach, Guan Suyi will definitely be beaten, and it will be much easier to negotiate with her about Liping his wife. In the future, if you order sterilization pills or something else, this Zhao residence is still her territory after all. She has sons and daughters, so what if she doesn't have her husband's favor
But an idea is an idea after all, and it always fails to materialize. Several of the companions waited for a whole day without waiting for Guan Suyi, but they were caught by Zhao Chunxi who was out and about, and they were immediately pulled into the mansion for interrogation. Zhao Chunxi trembled with anger, and felt even more ashamed after looking at her stepmother.
However, all explanations were blocked by a sentence from the concierge. Heli, after all, has come this far.
Bai Fu followed Old Master Guan and others in, holding a scroll of imperial edict and several documents in his hand. It was a long night, so he obeyed His Majesty's order and went to the government office to change his household first. Now Mrs. Guan has become Miss Guan again. He came to Zhao's house to inform Zhao Luli, and took Miss Guan's dowry back by the way.
Because reconciliation is not a good thing, the Guan family did not want to make a public appearance, so he came quietly, frightened Mr. Lu, who was waiting outside and planned to have a good argument with Mrs. Guan, and hurriedly covered his face and ran away.
"Madam, you are so cruel!" Zhao Luli took the letter and said in a trembling voice, "Even if you want to reconcile, you should tell me in advance."
"I thought you should have guessed it long ago." Guan Suyi reached out to Ye Zhen, "I'm leaving. It's not an exaggeration to let me hug Little Wynn, right?"
"Of course." Ye Zhen handed the child over to her, but she didn't expect that she would burst into tears when she just fell into her arms.
Seeing the child's red nose, Guan Suyi couldn't bear it, so she had to retreat reluctantly and said sarcastically, "It's hard for you to even try to win over a child and make him get used to the smell on your body. That's all, Wynn is the second room. Dizi, you must not dare to treat me harshly, and I can leave with confidence."
When the child arrived in Ye Zhen's arms, after a few sniffs, he stopped crying and fell asleep slowly. In just three months, the Zhao family has changed beyond recognition, their people have changed, and their hearts have also changed. Guan Suyi can let go of Zhao Huaien, but not Mu Mu. Zhao Huaien is useful to Ye Zhen, but Mu Mu is useless at all. I'm afraid that he will be abandoned in a corner unattended as before. She can have nothing today, but she can't have Mu Mu.
Just thinking of this, she saw Mu Mu running in from the door with her short legs, bypassing Ye Zhen, who looked ugly, and threw herself into the arms of her adoptive mother. Angrily, "Mother, everyone said that you are leaving, so take me away too, okay? I only want my mother and second aunt, not Madam Ye."
"Okay, mother is here to pick you up today!" Guan Suyi picked up Mu Mu and pressed her tightly in her arms. Mu Mu is also the child she rescued with her own hands, a responsibility she can't shirk and can't bear to shirk.
"Zhao Luli, let's talk? Mother, go help me pack my things, organize my dowry, and stop by to see the old lady. I just heard from the housekeeper that she is ill. If the situation is serious, you can use my post to ask for an imperial doctor. Don't delay. Grandfather, Daddy, wait for me here, I'll come when I go."
She handed Mu Mu to Jin Zi and Ming Lan, and left for a secret conversation with Zhao Lu in the study.
"If you want Mu Mu, you can, unless you stay. He Li can remarry, but there is only one more ceremony." Zhao Luli has completely calmed down and showed a hint of determination.
Guan Suyi knew that he had grasped her weakness and would not let go easily at this time. However, when she learned about the engravings presented by the queen mother, she seemed to have realized a skill - no matter how strong a person is, there is still one of the most vulnerable heartstrings. Just pinching it and exerting force can easily manipulate the other party and coerce it. each other, and even destroy each other.
"Zhao Luli, who is Mu Mu? Do you still care about his life?" She slowly pinched the heartstring.
"Mu Mu is the son of my comrade, and also my adopted son. I treat him as my own, and of course I care about his life and death."
"Since you care about his life or death, you should hand him over to me, and don't add another sin to yourself."
"Did I leave him alone without caring about his life? Suyi, what do you think of the Zhao family? Longtan Tiger's Den?" Zhao Luli refused to give in an inch.
"You said that you care about Mu Mu, have you ever taken care of him? Have you ever disciplined him? Have you ever given him a household registration? All you did was throw him in the house and give him a bite to eat. You What qualifications do I have to compete with me for the right to raise him? The Zhao family may have been calm in the past, but Ye Zhen came back. For Mu Mu, it was the Dragon Pool and Tiger's Den. Do you know what Ye Zhen did? She instructed Zhao Wangshu to go Spying on the imperial dojo, he was caught by the Janissaries and almost killed on the spot! She is also from a wealthy family, so she doesn't know what the crime of spying on the emperor's trail is. If she wants to see her twin sister, she can find you, can Looking for me, you can even buy a few Xiao Huangmen or Gong E, why did she assign Zhao Wangshu to go? She doesn't even care about her own son, how can I expect her to take good care of Mu Mu?"
Seeing Zhao Luli's shocked expression, she continued, "Simply Zhao Wangshu is not stupid enough to know how to call my name, so he can save his life. He cried and begged me to let Ye Zhen see Ye Cainu. She had to help him arrange. Guess what, after the two met, she went crazy, saying that she was Ye Cainu, she should be a noble person in the palace, and then went crazy to Daxiong Hall to see the emperor. Throw it down and pull it back, a crime of 'offending Tianyan, with bad intentions' can make everyone in the Zhao family buried with you. How can I hand Mu Mu to a lunatic? Mu Mu has never been registered in the Zhao family. Take him away today, even if you say I'm not afraid of going to the sky, at most let's go to court Bo!"
After talking, he threw his sleeves and left, hurried to the outside world, and whispered, "Jinzi, quickly send Mu Mu back to the emperor's mansion, I will come back after finishing the dowry." At this moment, Zhao Luli was already stupid. It takes half a day to recover.
He thought that Ye Zhen was forced to enter the palace because of power, and thought that she would definitely care about the Zhao family and their children, but through what he said just now, he would not be able to guess the truth. Ye Zhen definitely didn't leave the palace voluntarily. In order to go back, she could care about Zhao Wangshu's life and death, and she wouldn't care about the Zhao family. After seeing another Ye Zhen, she suddenly went crazy, crying and calling for the emperor, what this meant was self-evident.
How many of those so-called sacrifices and sacrifices are true, how many are false, or all of them are false, the answer has vaguely emerged in Zhao Luli's mind. He was desperate because of this, and then he was immersed in the emotion of losing his love; he wasted years in remembrance of the past, and finally lost his present and future.
The facts only showed the tip of the iceberg, but it was enough to destroy his beliefs. If he could regain his senses immediately, he would not be a sensitive and thoughtful Zhao Luli. Those few words were enough to haunt him for a day and a night, when would he wait if he didn't leave
Guan Suyi went to see the old lady, hired an imperial doctor for her, and returned the key of the warehouse and the matching card to Ye Zhen, who had been waiting for a long time, and said slowly, "If you don't have the key, you can't check the warehouse, save others by yourself, you must think I am Take away the money on your account, and greedy your dowry, right? Zhao Chunxi and the old lady have the dowry list, you should keep a copy yourself, just open the library door to count, if there is even one piece missing , you don't need to come to Guan's house to ask me for it, you can report it directly to the government. However, if you slander, I will send you to prison."
She looked at Zhao Wangshu with an open-minded smile, "I've always known that you are soft-hearted and easy to be used by others. In the future, you will open your eyes to see who is good and who is bad, and you will have time to prove everything. I just hope you don't have to. Then pay a painful price." At the end, he slapped Zhao Chunxi on the shoulder and sighed, "Be optimistic about your brother, let's say goodbye and cherish each other."
The dowry has been taken care of, and a group of people left Zhao's house in a mighty way. Originally, only Zhao Chunxi was sending it off, but the old lady woke up from a coma and chased out the door with a cane. "Daughter-in-law, you come back" one after another, making people feel sour in their hearts.
Guan Suyi wiped the corners of her eyes, looked back and glanced back, and then boarded the carriage and galloped away.
Passers-by had already guessed that Mrs. Guan would reconcile, and after watching for a while, they slowly dispersed, but a girl wearing a power fence stood in front of the Zhao residence, motionless for a long time. Her maid reminded in a low voice, "Miss, it's getting late, it's time to go home. Isn't it just reconciliation? Mrs. Guan has a prominent family background, but Mr. Zhao is only white, and the two should have reconciled long ago. Speaking of which, Mrs. Guan is really She was so amazing. The last time I took the child by caesarean section, I thought she would be drowned by everyone's spittle, but I didn't expect that she would turn around with just one sacrifice. Now her fame is so high that she is chasing her father. After the divorce this time, Xu is able to marry into a powerful family and get a good match."
The voice of the girl wearing the power fence was tactful and clear, but it contained a lot of disdain, "Awe-inspiring talent? Do you really think she turned around by talent? It's just luck, it's just a coincidence. Such a shocking move, how can it be? Maybe all the slanders will be slandered overnight, leaving only praise? Some Confucian students sang and recited the article, and some women followed with weeping, which made the atmosphere to the extreme. Most of the people are ignorant and easily deceived. The scholars all said yes, and they naturally said yes, where would they have their own Advocate, so Guan Suyi's good reputation has been established. How many scholars do you think there are in Yanjing City? Who has the energy to make them willing to run for a woman?"
"Miss, are you saying that Madam Guan's reputation was built with the help of the emperor? What kind of virtue can she be?"
"That's why I said that she was lucky. The act of caesarean section was like the empress dowager, thus helping the emperor to rectify her name. To build momentum for her is to build momentum for the empress dowager. It's really A Shi's name stealing." The girl shook her head and sighed, her tone contemptuous.
"Yeah, she's read the article about the sacrifice, and it's far worse than the lady's article." The maid flattered.
The girl smiled and turned to leave, "Is it a long way? You girl can't even be flattering. She is as talented as me, only in the middle of nowhere. She can do that kind of sacrifice, and I can do it too. However, if I face the pain of life and death, I would rather never use this article."
"Miss pure goodness and filial piety!" The flattering voice of the maid gradually disappeared on the street corner.
As soon as the master and servant left, a group of people arrived at the gate of Defu. The leader handed a famous letter, threatening to see Mr. Zhao, and the concierge took a look and wrote the word "Hunnar".
