Traveling through life as a widow: six sons to support her in her old age

Since the earthquake, a lot of things have happened in Qingzhou. First, the provincial capital was robbed, and then a fire broke out in the place where the court officials lived. For a time, people were in a panic!

The people were left homeless, corpses were strewn all over the disaster area, and a plague was about to break out.

The news came from the capital and troops were sent in to carry out a massacre in Qingzhou.

The news that the plague was not allowed to spread out of Qingzhou immediately aroused public indignation.

Fortunately, Gu Rufeng arrived in time and led people to carry out environmental disinfection and post-cleanup work.

It just took a little time, and it was two months later when everything was over.

I heard that many people were dealt with in the capital and a lot of money was spent.

Lan Qiyan didn't want to hear these things; she only cared about her new house.

Her family received nine taels of silver as compensation, which was only enough for a thatched hut.

The three Yucao sisters had only three or two taels of silver and could not even afford to build a thatched house.

There are no houses, no land, and no food.

The Qingzhou prefect Wu Yong was beheaded, and a new official took office, bringing with him the emperor's edict.

The people went to the government every day to express their demands, and at least they were given a place to live so that they could be self-reliant after surviving the winter.

But the new magistrate let them fend for themselves, saying that the country did not need people like them.

If someone starved to death, there would be others to take their place. The people could no longer endure it and simply fought to the death.

Thus, Qingzhou fired the first shot of the rebellion in such a blatant manner.

Lan Qiyan could never have imagined how long Yu Zian and his men had been planning, and how they could rush into the capital at such a rapid speed.

She, Old Lady Yu, oh, and Yu Xiu were left in Qingzhou.

"Mom, why didn't they take us?"

Lan Qiyan leaned against the door frame and looked at the sky. "Maybe he thinks we are too smart."

Yu Xiu curled his lips, "Mom, I still have self-awareness. I was left behind because my brain is not working well and I am prone to doing bad things. You were left behind for the same reason."

Lan Qiyan: It hurts my heart.

"Mom, don't roll your eyes. At least I'm here with you."

"Second brother, if you are filial, can you shut up?"

"Mom, do you think they will succeed? If they fail, will they be beheaded? Then since the two of us didn't participate, will we not be beheaded?"

"Hmph, you little brat. We are one of the Nine Clans, and I didn't know that my son would dare to do something that would get him killed." Old Lady Yu has been comforting herself for several days, but she still hasn't been able to comfort herself.

She could never have imagined that her promising youngest son would actually come to the capital.

Lan Qiyan smiled bitterly. His mother-in-law hadn't been treating him badly these days.

In her words, the very least you have to do is to make sure you have enough food to eat.

"Alas, he's my own son, what can I do? If I fail, I'll just die. Fortunately, my family is intact.

Yanyan, you should take out the divorce letter when the time comes. You are still young and you don’t have to die.”

Yu Xiu couldn't believe it, "Grandma, have you noticed that I am younger than my mother?

Is it too late to sever ties with my father now? If not, I will sever the father-son relationship first, as he didn’t give birth to me in the first place. "

"Well, then it should be in time for me to sever the mother-son relationship."

"Grandma, we need to think about this carefully."

"Come here, second brother. Grandma will discuss this with you."

Lan Qiyan: When disaster strikes, everyone runs away, right?

"Mom, what if it succeeds?" she asked casually.

Old Lady Yu was full of pride. "If it succeeds, my son will be a general, you will be the general's wife, I will be the old lady, and the second son will be the legitimate second son. Just think about it, it will be very glorious."

Lan Qiyan: Oh, my heart is so tired.

"Grandma, so you're saying that wealth and splendor are endless?"

"When did grandma lie to you?"

"Grandma, are we still going to sever our relationship?"

"Be prepared."

Lan Qiyan watched the grandfather and grandson walk into the inner room arm in arm. Can they write it clearly?

A letter of severance also requires an official document, otherwise empty words are in vain. It's just a random thought.

She touched her purse. If they succeeded, the divorce letter would be useful.

Until now, she still didn’t know what Yu Zian’s background was, and didn’t know whether he had any family. Was it really a good thing to go to the capital?

Not necessarily. The city is full of tricks, and she wants to find a place deep in the mountains to live in seclusion.

The capital city was very peaceful. The coup took place at night. All the coups in previous dynasties took place at night.

One is to catch the enemy by surprise, and the other is to avoid affecting the common people.

The Xie family army fought all the way to the imperial city, and with the coordination of internal and external forces, the dynasty changed dramatically overnight.

Three months later, Lan Qiyan was roasting peanuts by the stove when Yu Xiu ran over from outside in a panic.

"Mother~"

"Why are you in such a hurry? Tell me, have you failed? Should I wash my neck and wait?"

Yu Xiu was overjoyed, "Mom, it worked. The throne that had been occupied for so many years has now returned to Yu Lin's father... No, it shouldn't be called that. It should be said that it is in the hands of the current emperor."

"Yulin's father is not dead?"

"Who knows? Anyway, the new emperor ascended the throne and the whole country celebrated. The court directly allocated funds for the reconstruction of Qingzhou. My eldest brother's father was named Duke Dingguo. My father, your man, seems to be a general.

I don't know the details, I just heard it on the street. Mom, why don't they write to us? Have they forgotten us?"

Lan Qiyan shook his head, "This is not important."

"Mom, how can you still eat peanuts so peacefully? Aren't you excited? We can finally live without dying and enjoy wealth and glory."

After eating the last peanut, Old Lady Yu stood up and patted herself, "Pack your things and go enjoy your wealth and glory."

The three of them had a rare moment of tacit understanding, but it took a little long to pack up.

In the evening, when it was already dark, the three of them came out, each carrying a bag.

Lan Qiyan coughed lightly, "Well, my identity is quite embarrassing. Yu Zian and I are just husband and wife in name only, but we have no feelings for each other. I am a real farm girl, and he is a general. I can't help him, and I can't adapt to the intrigues in the capital, so I plan to run away and put the marriage certificate in the dressing box."

Yu Xiu scratched his head, "My biological father died, and my biological mother ran away. They all have noble status, and I am just a reckless man, and my status is quite embarrassing, so I am also preparing to run away."

Old Lady Yu said affectionately, "Although he is Yu Zi'an, he is not my Zi'an. How can a mother not tell whether the child is mine or not?

I am grateful to him for taking care of my Zi'an, and I am also grateful for his care for me. Now that he has finally gotten his wish, I don't want to be a stain on him, which is why I ran away."

Lan Qiyan was shocked. It turned out that her mother-in-law was the best actress, no doubt about it.

The three of them hit it off and formed a team to run away.

Yu Zian and Yu Ze, oh, now it should be that Xie Zezhi didn’t write a letter, they wanted to tell them the good news in person.
