[Through the Book] The ancestor only wants to live a long life
Chapter 42: Crisis of the Marquisate
After hearing these words, Rong Enqing felt as if he was struck by lightning!
However, after the shock, Rong Enqing quickly connected all the things together. All the things that she had found incredible before now made sense!
As the remnant of the previous dynasty, the Shun'an Marquisate is bound to become a thorn in the side of the new court.
However, this remnant of the previous dynasty happened to open the city gates to welcome the new army into the city, thus avoiding a war that would have harmed countless people.
Therefore, the new court was unable to remove this thorn in its side.
Then what should be done?
Rong Enqing speculated that forcing Yun Yi, the then famous Marquis of Yong'an, to death was the first step. Of course, Yun Yi's death had to be covered with the cloak of dying for the master.
Now that Yun Yi is dead, the Yong'an Marquis Mansion is basically done for.
However, a centipede is still alive even after death.
After all, the Yong'an Marquis Mansion was an aristocratic family that had existed since the founding of the previous dynasty. The death of a head of the family was not enough to reassure the new court.
The second step is to change the name of the mansion. The Yong'an Marquis' Mansion was changed to Shun'an Marquis' Mansion. This is a reminder and also a suppression.
The third step was to arrange a marriage for the newly appointed Marquis Shun'an with Rong, a troublemaker who was extremely selfish, confused, and had no sense of the overall situation.
As expected, everything went wrong in Shun'an Marquis' Mansion. The good reputation that Yun Yi had earned with his life was completely consumed by the joint efforts of Rong and Yun Zhen.
At this point, the new court should perhaps feel at ease about Shun'an Mansion, but Yun Zhen and Rong gave birth to a promising son, who might be able to save the reputation of Shun'an Mansion.
As a result, Zhang became a knife in the hands of Emperor Taihe.
Perhaps Master Zhang knew what Emperor Taihe was planning, so he tried to change Emperor Yonghe's mind, but failed.
So, Zhang married into the family.
As for whether Yun Hong's death had anything to do with Zhang, Rong Enqing guessed that there was some connection. Otherwise, a normal person who had experienced the birth of a child, the loss of a husband, and being angered, resented, coldly treated, and ignored by her mother-in-law for eight years would not be like Zhang, who had no resentment towards Rong Enqing as her mother-in-law, and even taught her son not to resent or hate her and to be considerate of his grandmother.
At first, Rong Enqing thought that Zhang came from a prominent family and was well-educated, so she was open-minded and would be able to teach her son.
But now that I think about it, I'm probably feeling guilty and can't bear to feel resentful?
Rong Enqing was upset.
If all that she guessed was true, then, in the three years since Yun Zhen's death, the fact that Emperor Taihe had not issued an edict to appoint a new Marquis of Shun'an, but instead had watched the dispute within the Marquisate from the sidelines, was probably not a matter of neglect, but rather deliberate connivance.
Look at what is left in Shun'an Marquis's Mansion now? Orphans and widows!
Does Shun'an Marquis Mansion still pose any threat to the new court?
In Rong Enqing's opinion, not really.
However, the emperor's mind is unpredictable. What if Emperor Taihe just dislikes Shun'an Marquis Mansion?
Thinking of this, Rong Enqing suddenly remembered something. In the original book, Yun Ye only lived to be 20 years old!
Yun Ye died two years after his original body's death.
But Yun Ye was in his prime at that time, and had no illness or injury, so why did he die?
The more Rong Enqing thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he couldn't help but shiver.
This fucking world!
She just wanted to live a peaceful life and live to be a hundred years old! Why let her get into this endless trouble?
She accepted that she was in a book.
In order to make her life easier, she rewrote the plot and made the original Shunan Hou Yunhao leave.
I thought good days were coming, but, instead, a countdown appeared above my head!
After much difficulty, I discovered that the countdown of my lifespan could be exchanged for karma value, but in the end, I had to pay off the debt first.
Good god, she hasn't even figured out a way to earn karma points yet, and now she's being given this?
Is this the rhythm of not letting her live even if she dies?
Rong Enqing almost collapsed. However, he was not afraid of any difficulties or dangers. As long as he could survive, Rong Enqing would find a way to survive even if it meant death.
Since you are destined not to live a stable and leisurely life, then work hard and struggle to survive!
The first step is to make the only three masters in the Marquis' Mansion think and work in a unified direction.
Rong Enqing herself did not say anything, she just wanted to live a long and happy life in peace and happiness. Therefore, she could only be safe if the Marquis's Mansion was fine.
As the eldest grandson of the Marquis's mansion, Yun Ye was branded with the mark of the Shun'an Marquis's mansion since birth. Unless he died, he was destined to be tied to the Marquis's mansion for the rest of his life. Therefore, he and the Marquis's mansion were one, and he could only be good if the Marquis's mansion was good.
What remained was to turn Zhang's uncertainty into a real member of their family. Rong Enqing believed that this was not difficult.
Rong Enqing thought a lot and for a long time. When she came to her senses, she found that Nanshan was still kneeling at her feet, trembling.
"Girl, why are you so honest? Why are you still kneeling? Get up quickly."
Rong Enqing pulled Nanshan with concern, but Nanshan just moved his legs, then he gasped and knelt back on the ground.
She looked at Rong Enqing embarrassedly and said in a low voice, "My legs are numb."
Looking at Nanshan's wrinkled little face, Rong Enqing couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Sure enough, looking at the cute little girl will make you feel better.
After a long while, Nanshan slowly got up from the ground. Her face was still pale, and she looked at Rong Enqing with doubts in her eyes, "Madam, are you not angry?"
Angry? Zhang's murder of Yun Hong? Rong Enqing smiled and shook his head, "Everything is just a rumor, it can't be true."
Nanshan wanted to argue something, but seeing Rong En's calm look, he ended up saying nothing.
Rong Enqing warned: "Just tell me what you have learned. Don't tell anyone else."
Nanshan nodded quickly and said, "I know the importance of this matter." Otherwise, she would not have asked the lady to send Sister Meixiang away when she just entered the room.
Rong Enqing smiled and touched Nanshan's head. "You are a good child. You know your limits and work hard. Work hard in the future. Madam Tai is waiting for you to become a first-class maid and serve her."
Hearing this, Nanshan knelt down to Rong Enqing again with a plop in excitement. However, this time he used too much force, and his legs, which had not yet recovered from the kneeling, were injured again. The pain was so severe that Nanshan cried.
Rong Enqing was delighted to see this, and quickly bent down to help the man up and put him on a stool. Nanshan struggled and refused to sit down, but when she put force on her feet, her legs hurt so much that she gasped.
Rong Enqing held her shoulders to prevent her from moving, and called out to the outside of the house, "Meixiang?"
Meixiang pushed the door open and came in, "Madam."
"Send Nanshan back to rest. Her leg is injured. Apply some blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing medicine to her. Give her another three days off so she can take good care of her leg."
"Yes." Meixiang looked at Nanshan's legs in surprise, then looked at Nanshan's excited face, bent down and reached out to pick up Nanshan.
Seventeen-year-old Meixiang is already a grown-up girl. She has grown up and is about 1.6 meters tall. Although not very tall, she is still more than enough to hold an eight-year-old girl who is as thin as a bean sprout.
