Yan Cigui Chapter 97

Chapter 97: **** interests

 The British prince stood by the window with his hands behind his back.

 The cool autumn wind came towards my face and blew on my body, giving me a deep chill.

 He understood the meaning of Zhu Chi's words and said, "Do you want to cut off the seats?"

Zhu Chi was extremely embarrassed.

Of course he thought so, but when his father pointed it out directly, he still couldn't save his face.

 Zhu Cheng is his biological brother after all.

 But just because he is his biological brother, if he does not cut the mat at this moment, the whole family will be dragged in.

Regardless of other considerations, Zhu Chi advised Yingying to be fair: "Right now, the Yamen probably doesn't know about the king's servant. We should let Shuntian Prefecture settle the case as soon as possible. If we continue to drag it out, Shan Shen will catch more things. Then That's bad.”

 Bing Jingyi: "Are you sure Shan Shen doesn't know?"

Zhu Chi is not sure.

Today I planned to go to Shuntian Mansion with my brothers to ask for news. Unexpectedly, my father suddenly asked him to take action against Shi. After that, people came and went again, so I was delayed.

“The second and third brothers will probably know the progress when they come back from the Yamen.”

 Soon, he realized that this was wishful thinking.

His two younger brothers entered the gate of Shuntian Mansion, but were sent back without even seeing Zhu Cheng's face.

Zhu Chi had no choice but to continue to ask the British Duke: "What's going on with the prescription? Why did the imperial doctor see it?"

 The British public cannot answer.

He didn't know the whereabouts of the king's servant, so he could only hope that the other party would be smarter and avoid being caught with any clues.

 In the other carriage, Lin Yunyan's carriage stopped outside the house.

The ancestors of the Yu family had two third-rank officials. Their foundations were not very good, but they could be considered to have established a firm foothold in the capital.

 As the elders grow old, there are no successors.

 Zhu Chan's eldest uncle donated an official position and worked abroad. His second uncle and third uncle stayed in Beijing to serve his mother and do some business.

 In the past few years, apart from visiting her grandmother, Zhu Xiang rarely visited her grandfather's house.

Hence, when neighbors suddenly saw such a gorgeous carriage, they were inevitably curious about the identity of the visitor.

Lin Yunyan accompanies Zhu Xiang from the car and goes into the house together.

Grandma Wang did not enter the house, but stayed in the alley, smiling kindly at the curious neighbors.

 The Yu family's uncles were quite surprised by their niece's visit.

Zhu Xuan went directly to find his grandmother. When an old man and a young man met, his grandmother seemed to sense something and called her name in a trembling voice.

 Nearly throwing herself at the bedside, Zhu Xiang hugged her grandmother and burst into tears.

Uncle Yu hurriedly asked: "What's going on? Is it difficult to judge my brother-in-law's case? I heard it was a mistake or an accident..."

Auntie asked Lin Yunyan cautiously.

Lin Yunyan did not overstep her authority: "The inside story is complicated, so let Zhu Xiang tell you."

Zhu Chan cried for a while, stabilized his breath, and said: "He is not only guilty, he also harms and kills people! He harmed my mother!"

 As for my family, you look at me and I look at you.

 In the past, Zhu Xiang also expressed her dissatisfaction with the British government, especially the Zhu family's insistence on dragging her mother's life, which in turn caused great pain.

They heard too much and could not persuade her, so they let her go.

 Unexpectedly, this accusation has escalated.

Uncle Yu glanced at Lin Yunyan awkwardly and said, "Ah Chang, don't say these things and call the princess a joke. Your father..."

"Cining Palace invited two hospital judges to treat my mother. The imperial doctor made it clear that my mother was poisoned back then!" Zhu Xiang said, "The imperial doctor wrote a prescription for the poison, and I have already given it to Master Shan of Shuntian Mansion.

As a daughter, I cannot sue my father. I begged my uncle and aunt to write a petition to sue.

With the imperial doctor's diagnosis, his father is already in the government office. He can't escape this time, he is the murderer! "

Yu Erjiu was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses again, and started to look at his younger brother.

Uncle Yu San said: "That doesn't mean it was my brother-in-law who poisoned me..."

"Not only him, but also my grandfather. No one in the Zhu family can escape." Zhu Xian wiped away her tears and stretched out her hand to show them the burn marks on the back of her hand. "The aunt added more to her mother's medicine pot. I found the thing and smashed it. She kept saying that she was obsessed and wanted to free my mother.

If the princess hadn't come to help me, I would have fought to the death with her in front of my mother's bed today! Do you believe it?

Shuntian Prefecture is investigating his father. The eldest uncle has come to take action. The eldest uncle is aggressive. If there is no grandfather instigating him behind the scenes, would they suddenly do this? "

My aunt quickly asked: "Princess, is it really what chan said?"

Lin Yunyan nodded: "It's all the truth."

Zhu Xian saw their hesitation and could only cry to her grandmother: "Mom, only you can help her..."

Yu Mu's old face was covered with tears. She touched the back of Zhu Xian's hand, carefully avoiding the redness and swelling.

"Eight years, that's enough..." She looked at her two sons, "How many more years are you going to let them, mother and daughter, suffer?"

"That's not what they said," Uncle Yu tried hard to explain. "As soon as something happened to my brother-in-law, we immediately told him off. This is outrageous, right? Besides, if the eldest sister really got into trouble due to poisoning, of course we would ask the British government to Give an answer, but also listen to what the yamen has to say. If it is really not my brother-in-law who caused the harm, wouldn't it be..."

“How can we move around in the future if we break the relationship between relatives?”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Uncle Yu nodded repeatedly. After nodding, he realized that it was Lin Yunyan who said this. He couldn't help but said, "Princess, is this the reason..."

Lin Yunyan smiled and said: "Then uncles from the Yu family should also listen to my teachings.

The Empress Dowager doesn't like to meddle in other people's business. Now that I've invited her, Zhu Xuan's mother's condition must be investigated to the bottom of the matter. There is no reason to give up halfway, otherwise, Shuntian Mansion will not be able to explain to Cining Palace.

At the same time, the Shuntian Mansion will accept Zhu Xiang's complaint and is obviously ready to conduct a thorough investigation of the British government.

While the uncles were reluctant to part with this marriage, the British government was probably thinking of severing their relationship with Zhu Chan's father and docking his tail in order to survive.

 They failed, the British government fell, and the in-laws were useless.

Even if they succeeded and saved the Duke's Mansion even though Zhu Xiang's father was alone, how could they not hate Zhu Xiang? Even if you don't add insult to injury, people definitely don't want your in-laws.

To put it more clearly, they are unreliable in-laws after all. It is better to go to war first, at least to legitimately seek justice for Zhu Chan's mother. "

 Uncles and aunts were speechless.

As soon as the princess opened her mouth, it was like a sharp knife, cutting open the profit and spreading it **** on the table.

What kind of family affection, what kind of dignity, the words they wanted to use to persuade Zhu Xian, in front of this kind of blood, are extremely weak, hypocritical and ridiculous.

"It happened suddenly, and it's such an important matter," Yu Sanjiu gritted his teeth and found a temporary escape route, "Let's go to Shuntian Mansion first and ask, and then we can discuss it. Ah, don't worry, if they are British The government is really crazy, and we will definitely not stand idly by.”

Zhu Xiang bit his lip tightly.

 Today, she heard too many "Don't worry".

 But she wanted something from her uncles, and she couldn't do it head-on.

While hesitating, there was the sound of hurried footsteps outside, and a woman arrived.

 “What to do?” the second aunt asked dissatisfied.

The mother-in-law glanced at Zhu Xiang, then at Lin Yunyan, her smile full of embarrassment: "Princess, why didn't the ladies around you come in to sit down and have a cup of tea..."

  Yu family is very puzzled.

　　Why do you ask the princess's aunt?

"That grandma is very eloquent and can tell stories. I also want to hear what she has to say..." The mother-in-law really couldn't say what she was saying, and her laughter was uglier than her tears. "Call her in. She's still outside." If you keep talking, everyone in the alley next door will know that our aunt has been poisoned by the old man!"

a bolt from the blue.

 Yu's family members were stunned to death.

Only Zhu Zhang, who was still crying, burst into laughter.

  Tears and smiles were mixed together, and the whole person seemed a bit brighter.

What the princess said makes sense.

 The stage can be dismantled.

 The eldest uncle's wife's and uncle's belongings were torn down.

 The ones belonging to my uncle and aunties were also dismantled.

 After the commotion outside, the uncles' delaying tactics no longer worked.

 Even if you use force, you must force them to get their papers.

   Thanks to book friends Cha Shugu and Xu Bicheng's official girlfriend for the reward.
