The moon falling to the ground

If he could endure all these, the emperor's poisoning and the arrest of Doctor Mao made him terrified and unable to sleep at night.

The eldest daughter is a disciple of Dr. Mao. Once Dr. Mao is found guilty of poisoning the emperor, he and the entire Yan family will be liquidated. What should I do? How can I escape the emperor's liquidation?

Before Yan Xiuyuan could come up with a solution, Xie Mingzhi and his son came to his house in person and asked him to break off his relationship with Jian Yue.

Xie Mingzhi spoke earnestly, with an expression that he wanted the best for Yan Xiuyuan: "Xiuyuan, if you don't make a decision, you will suffer the consequences. Now is not the time for you to be indecisive. You must make a decision as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will be too late."

Yan Xiuyuan's heart felt like it was being tightly grasped by someone.

He owed this daughter. She had suffered so much in the countryside, and finally found her master and returned to her family. Was he really going to abandon her?

Abandoning her at this time would be equivalent to pushing her into a dead end.

Seeing him hesitate, Xie Mingzhi added fuel to the fire: "Xiuyuan, I still say the same thing. A daughter is far less important than a family. If you lose a daughter, you can have another one. But if you lose the Yan family, you will lose everything. Abandon one person to save the Yan family, even a three-year-old child knows which choice to make."

Yan Xiuyuan's face turned pale.

Abandoning the eldest daughter could save the Yan family. But if Doctor Mao could turn the tables, it would mean that the eldest daughter's future wealth would have nothing to do with him.

Regardless of how her medical skills will be in the future, the fact that she can produce high-yield grains and advanced agricultural tools is enough for her to live a life of wealth and glory. Moreover, she is the last disciple of Dr. Mao. Dr. Mao's winemaking recipe will definitely be passed on to her in the future. That is a winemaking recipe that is better than the Wen family tribute wine. With this recipe alone, she can quickly accumulate a lot of wealth.

Who among us who are alive would complain about having too much money?

Just when Yan Xiuyuan was feeling extremely conflicted, the doorman came to report that someone had come from the Shangshu Mansion and asked him to return immediately.

"Go ahead! We'll be waiting for your news here." Xie Mingzhi said.

Since they couldn't get a reply from Yan Xiuyuan today, they didn't plan to go back.

When Xie Mingzhi heard that someone had come from the Shangshu Mansion, he guessed that it must be because Doctor Mao was arrested for poisoning the emperor.

Now that Yan Xiuyuan's parents are putting pressure on him, he doesn't have to argue with Yan Xiuyuan anymore.

Shangshu Mansion.

In the courtyard of old lady Xiang.

Since receiving the news from her eldest son in the palace, Xiang was extremely anxious. She sent someone to find Yan Jinnan and told him what her eldest son said.

Although Yan Jinnan lived a life of retirement, he was not completely unconcerned about state affairs. He knew that the emperor was poisoned, and he also knew that the emperor was in a very dangerous situation this time and might not survive. So after listening to his wife's words, he thought for a moment and finally nodded in agreement with his wife and son's decision: to expel this cheap granddaughter from the clan.

When Yan Xiuyuan arrived at the old couple's main courtyard without stopping, Xiang Shi said to him: "Hurry up and expel that stinky girl from the family, otherwise it will be too late."

Yan Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment, and his anxious heart was hurt by Xiang's indifference and ruthlessness.

I wonder if she would be so decisive if her own son’s children encountered such a thing?

Yan Jinnan knew his son better. He sighed and advised him earnestly, "Xiuyuan, it's not that your parents are cruel. This is a matter of killing all nine clans. It's not easy for the Yan family to develop to this day. Can you bear to see the Yan family destroyed without leaving even a bone residue?"

Yan Xiuyuan felt as if a huge rock hit his heart, and he was so depressed that he couldn't breathe. His eyes turned red, and he looked at Yan Jinnan and Xiang Shi with grief: "Father, mother, once Yue'er is expelled from the clan, she will become a helpless person. How can you let her live?"

Xiang sneered: "She can't cure the emperor's poison, do you think she can still survive? If you make a decision quickly, you can still save your other two children and your official position. Otherwise, you will end up being dragged down by her and die without a burial place."

Yan Xiuyuan's spirit suddenly weakened and his face turned pale.

He wanted to protect his eldest daughter, but he also didn't want his official position and his other two children to be in jeopardy. However, things in the world are often difficult to have both, and the facts forced him to make only one choice.

He lowered his head and said nothing. He didn't want to make such a choice.

Yan Jinnan sighed: "Xiuyuan, think more about your children. They are not yet adults. What have they done wrong? They have to suffer like this with their elder sister."

Yan Xiuyuan's heart was hit hard again.

He has only this one son. If anything happens to him, his branch might be extinct.

Xiang couldn't bear to see this bastard hesitate, so she said coldly: "If you can't bear to part with that evil creature, I will expel your entire family from the clan. In short, we can't let that evil creature harm the entire Yan clan."

Yan Xiuyuan's heart trembled, and he suddenly became sober.

His branch must not be expelled from the clan. Between himself and the family, he chose the family. Surely the eldest daughter would not blame him, right?

Yan Xiuyuan finally made up his mind, raised his head, and said in a hoarse voice, "Everything will be arranged by my father and mother."

So, Yan Jinnan immediately took out the family tree that he had prepared long ago, and without even summoning the important elders of the clan, he crossed out the page with Yan Yanyue's name on it.

Logically speaking, for such a big event, the clan members should be called together to open the ancestral temple, worship the ancestors, and then perform the clan extermination ceremony. However, in an emergency, if the action is not quick, the whole clan will be destroyed, so there are no rules to worry about, and everything is kept simple.

After removing Jian Yue's name from the family tree, Yan Jinnan immediately sent someone to notify the Ministry of Revenue and the Princess's Mansion.

When Steward Lei of the Princess's Mansion received the news from the Shangshu Mansion that the Princess had been expelled from the clan, he was stunned. After he figured it out, he sneered repeatedly.

The Yan family is so cold and heartless!

Steward Lei immediately delivered the message to the palace in person.

Jian Yue and several imperial doctors stayed in Emperor Jingzhen's bedroom and did not come out. They even made the antidote inside.

Concubine Wen and Concubine Rong had already been released from confinement. Their eyes were red and swollen, and they cried and made a fuss about wanting to visit the Emperor.

Eunuch Fu came out with a gloomy face and said, "The emperor has ordered Concubine Wen and Concubine Rong to return to the palace to reflect on themselves. They are not allowed to move around without the emperor's order."

Concubine Wen and Concubine Rong were dumbfounded.

They just came to see the emperor, why were they confined again?

Concubine Rong looked at her father. General Rong looked unhappy and waved his hand impatiently: "The emperor asked you to return to the palace to reflect on yourself, why don't you go quickly."

Concubine Rong's heart skipped a beat, knowing that something had happened to her father and the prince's plan, so she hurried back.

Concubine Wen did not dare to stay and left in shame.

Ji Yunzhong's people received the news handed in by Steward Lei. After telling Ji Yunzhong, Ji Yunzhong glanced at Yan Xiusheng, his eyes as cold as if he had been soaked in ice for a thousand years.

It is unfortunate for Yue to have such a family. But at the same time, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. At least when she becomes rich, there will no longer be such a family member who will use her as a bargaining chip or chess piece to plot against her, and there will no longer be a chance to suck her blood.

The Yan family has already sided with the Second Prince...
