[Through the Book] The ancestor only wants to live a long life

Xiu Zhang called two more maids and four servants who were skilled in martial arts to follow him, and then the group set out for the second house.

In the carriage, Yun Ai nestled in Rong Enqing's arms, covered with a mattress and holding a heater in her hands. Soon she fell drowsy.

After Yun Ai closed her eyes and fell asleep, Rong Enqing lowered his voice and asked Xiu Zhang beside him: "What happened to the second house? Song Shi hasn't come to see Yun Ai for such a long time, is it related to this?"

Xiu Zhang nodded and whispered, "The Second Master has been very close to the Yang family recently. Through the Yang family, the Second Master has also had dealings with the Zhenguogong Mansion."

"Wait!" Rong Enqing interrupted Xiu Zhang and said, "Yang family? Which Yang family? You are not talking about the Yang family of the new Minister of Rites who came to Beijing, right?"

"Exactly."

"How could Yun Hao be related to the Yang family?" Rong Enqing was puzzled. "Logically speaking, his father-in-law was just removed from the position of Minister of Rites, beheaded and his property was confiscated. Even if he is not hostile to the new Minister of Rites, his attitude should not be close to him!"

Seeing Rong Enqing's puzzled expression, Xiu Zhang looked conflicted and hesitated to speak, but in the end he said nothing.

Madam Gong had warned her several times, saying that some things could be disclosed to the Madam, but some things were better kept to herself. Otherwise, it would hurt others and herself.

Seeing that Xiu Zhang didn't say anything, Rong Enqing said to himself: "Yun Hao's attitude towards the Yang family is too strange. The Yang family's attitude towards Yun Hao is also very strange!

"Yun Hao is only a fifth-rank official in the Ministry of Personnel. Why would the Yang family be so close to him?"

Suddenly, Rong Enqing's eyes widened, and he looked at Xiu Zhang in horror: "Not only does the Yang family have a strange attitude towards Yun Hao, but their attitude towards Yun Ye and me is also very strange!

"He approached Yun Hao for no apparent reason, paid attention to Yun Ye for no apparent reason, and targeted me for no apparent reason...

"What do we have in common? We both come from Shun'an Marquis Mansion and are both descendants of Yong'an Marquis Yunyi!

“So, is the Yang family related to Yun Yi’s rebellious forces?

"Or is it that the Yang family is actually part of the rebellious forces?"

Xiu Zhang neither shook his head nor nodded, but just looked at Rong Enqing with complicated eyes.

Rong Enqing was silent for a moment, then he understood that Xiu Zhang had agreed.

"So, getting rid of the Song family and making room for the Yang family to come to Beijing...is all intentional on the part of His Majesty?" Although it was a question, his words were full of certainty.

Rong Enqing murmured in a low voice: "When we cleaned up the Song family, we also cleaned up a large number of problematic people. Now that the Yang family has entered Beijing, how many people related to them can be found?"

The Yang family is in contact with Yun Hao, and Yun Hao is inseparable from Shun'an Marquis Mansion. In the end, will Shun'an Marquis Mansion be implicated?

Alas! What connection? The source is in their Shunan Marquis Mansion! Although he is a "dead man", he is still the legitimate ancestor of Shunan Marquis Mansion after all!

Rong Enqing was depressed. It took him a long time to calm down from the shock.

Forget it, let’s talk about the future later, let’s focus on the present first.

She turned to look at Xiu Zhang: "Even if the Yang family and Yun Hao are involved, this is all private. It doesn't seem to have much to do with the Song family, right? Besides, I'm just sending Yun Ai back. The second house is not a dangerous place. Why do I need to bring a servant who knows martial arts?"

Xiu Zhang reminded, "Madam, you overlooked one thing. I just said that the Second Master had contact with the Zhenguo Mansion through the relationship of the Yang family."

"So, the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is also part of the rebellious force?" Rong Enqing was stunned.

The Duke of Zhenguo Mansion was a supporter of Emperor Kaiyuan! The deceased Duke of Zhenguo accompanied Emperor Kaiyuan in his conquests and made great contributions, which earned him the title of Duke of Zhenguo.

Now that the old Duke Zhenguo is dead, how come the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion is still connected to the rebellious forces?

Seeing Rong Enqing's misunderstanding, Xiu Zhang quickly shook her head and said, "Madam, you misunderstood. I meant to say that there is a young lady in the Zhenguo Mansion who has just divorced and returned home. She is only 20 years old and is currently looking for a husband."

"What?" Rong Enqing was a little confused for a moment. But after a moment, she suddenly came to her senses, "What did you say!?"

"Could it be that the Yang family is planning to let Yun Hao marry the young lady from the Zhenguo Mansion who just left home?"

Rong Enqing was shocked and raised his voice unconsciously.

At this moment, Yun Ai seemed to be annoyed by her noise and nuzzled into her arms.

Rong Enqing hurriedly and gently patted Yun Ai, but his heart was already surging.

If Yun Hao also intends to take this opportunity to get close to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, then the Song family will be in danger!

Thinking of this, Rong Enqing suddenly thought of Yun Hao's first wife, Wang. She was a beautiful woman with a gentle personality. She was kind to everyone and exuded a sense of tranquility, leisure and ease in her bones.

She remembered that Wang had always been in good health, otherwise she would not have been able to give birth to children for two consecutive years.

Moreover, she clearly remembered that after Wang gave birth to Yun Shi, the midwife and the doctor said that Wang was fine and only needed to rest in bed for two months.

But who would have thought that the more Wang was taken care of, the worse her health became. In the end, she was bedridden and died!

At that time, the original body was very surprised, wondering how a healthy person could just disappear.

It was not until several months later, when Yun Hao married Song, the daughter of the Minister of Rites, that the original self came to his senses and realized that there was something strange about Wang's death.

Unfortunately, several months had passed, and no matter how hard the original body tried to track it down, it was all in vain. Instead, Jiang complained to Yun Zhen, saying that she couldn't bear to see the good relationship between mother and son and intended to slander them. Yun Zhen, who was biased, scolded her.

In the end, the matter had to be left unresolved.

Now that I think about it, I'm afraid there was indeed some other reason behind Wang's death.

Then...is the Song family experiencing the same thing as the Wang family right now?

Thinking of this, Rong Enqing felt his heart burning with anger, and he wished he could grow wings and fly to the second room immediately.

Although she didn't necessarily like Song, Song had never openly targeted her. Instead, she had always been polite to her. She was the only person in the second house who could maintain superficial harmony with her.

The most important thing is that Song is the biological mother of Yun Ai and Yun Zhao! Yun Zhao is only 5 years old, and Yun Ai is only years old!

Moreover, after Song came into the family, she treated the two brothers Yunhui and Yunshi well. She did not treat them harshly like other stepmothers, nor did she treat them like those stepmothers with ulterior motives.

Especially the incident of Yun Shi breaking his leg. If nothing unexpected happened, it was Song who secretly found someone to heal Yun Shi.

Given how good Song was to her children, Rong Enqing didn't want anything to happen to her.

Seeing that Rong Enqing had realized the seriousness of the matter, Xiu Zhang didn't say anything more.

Under Rong Enqing's anxious urging, the carriage finally arrived at Lin'anfang.

The carriage stopped and Xiu Zhang got off first. Rong Enqing handed Yun Ai to Xiu Zhang, then got off the carriage with the help of a maid beside him.

As the Chinese New Year approaches, the second house's door is tightly closed, and there is no lively atmosphere of getting rid of the old and welcoming the new in preparation for the New Year.
