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

“Those new policies I pushed?”

“The late emperor did not agree, and the new policy was stopped after that incident.

But the late emperor did not dare to tell you, because he needed your advanced weapons and agricultural technology to help him expand his territory."

"You knew why didn't you tell me?"

Pei Zhuxuan smiled bitterly, "Because my parents and relatives are in their hands."

Lan Qiyan sighed, "How much more do I not know?"

"Qi Yan, it's been so long since the incident happened. What's the point of pursuing it? It's meaningless."

"Tell me, what else are you hiding from me?"

"Nothing, just that thing, you can ask Yulin."

"Alas, I suddenly feel that life is meaningless."

Just as Pei Zhuxuan lowered her head, an Italian cannon appeared in front of her, "No, no, no, I'll tell you what I'm saying."

"Go ahead."

"Put it away first."

Lan Qiyan shook his head, "You finish first."

Pei Zhuxuan said, "You shouldn't have come back."

"Huh? Don't they want me to come back?"

"I think so."

"why?"

"not worth."

Lan Qiyan looked at him, "You mean I've paid so much, and it's not worth it for them to pretend to obey me but actually disobey me, right?"

"You understand it correctly. That's probably what it means."

“To err is human, I just did it because I wanted to.

But I can't guarantee that I am right. If there are any mistakes, you can correct them. I have no objection.

I gained status, money and respect in the process and have no regrets.

But they can bring it up, and I won’t be angry.

I just don't like people lying to me. Is what Zhou Mei'er said true?"

"Yes and no."

Lan Qiyan's face darkened. "Can you be more specific? Try to hold back this kind of ambiguous nonsense."

Pei Zhuxuan sighed, "Although he hanged himself, it was not because of the people's coercion, but because of the Zhou family.

The position of runner-up was very awkward. His talent was not as good as the first place, and his appearance was not as good as the third place. He was also sent to Qingzhou.

The Zhou family has a century-old history and is a family of scholars and officials. Their rivals are princes and ministers. How could they be interested in a mere runner-up?

But Zhou Mei'er was in love, and she wanted to marry him, so the Zhou family used a little trick and he died."

Lan Qiyan took over his words, "So how many years older is Zhou Mei'er than Yumian?"

"About five or six years old. Prince An likes him, and there's nothing you can do about it."

"So the Zhou family and Zhou Mei'er said that it was because I implemented the new policy.

It raised the status of the common people and killed her lover.

Then Zhou Meier tried very hard to use a roundabout way to gain power, and then seek revenge on me."

"Otherwise, the plan was originally perfect, but unfortunately the emperor started the selection of concubines, and you squeezed in two concubines..."

"Stop, I'm taking the blame. It wasn't me who put it there. It was Yulin who did it. I'm just taking the blame."

"But the daughter of the Zhou family has always hated you."

"Then just state the facts. One more person who hates me is not too many. Which powerful person in the capital doesn't hate me? I have affected the interests of so many people, but they can't do anything to me."

"Aren't you worried that they will use your two sons to take revenge on you?"

"Humph, they are both addicted to gambling. As soon as I left the house, they went into the gambling house. They didn't notice that there was someone following them. They are so stupid that they don't even realize it. Let's take revenge. If this kind of revenge can make the two brothers turn over a new leaf, I will even present a banner to those people.

I didn't plan to have a child at the beginning. I also wanted to train and educate the child well after giving birth. Do you know about genes? Forget it, I can't explain it to you. It's just genetics. They inherited the bad genes of both parents. It can't be changed. Otherwise, how can I give up?"

"You really don't care?"

"What do you care about? I'm already so old. According to the average life expectancy here, I'm going to die soon. How long can I control them? If we don't teach them a lesson now, no one will be able to control them in the future."

Bae Joo-hyun seemed to understand that she didn't care about anything.

Lan Qiyan: You understand shit, I don't care? I can't control it.

"Are you still planning on traveling? Are you just going to stay in the princess's mansion tending to the vegetable garden?"

"The time has not come yet. When the time comes, I will come back again."

"Take me with you when the time comes. I can be your free labor."

"You? Pei Zhuxuan, you should get married. If you don't get married soon, your mother will be very worried."

"They are all practicing trumpets, and my trumpet is useless."

Lan Qiyan's head was full of black lines. It didn't make sense. He couldn't communicate with this guy.

However, she took Pei Zhuxuan, Zhou Meir and Yumian and went straight to the Zhou family.

But after knocking on the door for a long time, no one answered.

Jade Face sneered, "The Zhou family is quite arrogant. They don't take me, the prince, seriously, nor do they take my mother, the eldest princess, seriously. What, are they thinking about going to heaven?"

"No, they want to go to hell. They actually put such a big blame on me. If I don't blast the Zhou family today, I won't be named Lan."

When Lan Qiyan attacked the Zhou family, Yu Ning and Yu Gui lost 300,000 taels, and they lost this amount in just half a day.

They were extremely scared. If their mother knew about this, they would have no chance of survival.

The two brothers discussed and decided that one of them would stay as a hostage while the other would go back home to find their father.

Yu Gui stayed and Yuning returned home.

Yu Zian, who was drinking tea in the mansion, was shocked when he heard that his son had lost so much money.

Without even a moment's hesitation, he slapped them in the face, "How could you two get into such a big trouble? If your mother knew about this, she would skin you alive."

Yu Ning covered her face, "Dad, you've already beaten me and scolded me, now you have to find a solution quickly, my brother is still in the gambling house."

Yu Zian kicked him again and said, "You guys should go work as errand boys in the gambling house. I don't have any money."

"No, Dad, dear dad, just take out all your private money."

"No, I don't have any private money."

"Then please save your son."

"How can I save you? I have cleaned your butts so many times over the years. Why don't you learn from the good and instead learn from your grandfather's bad ways?"

Yuning burst into tears, "Forget it if you don't want to help me. I'll go find my brother."

"He is an incorruptible person. His salary is barely enough for his family to eat and drink. He still needs your mother's subsidy every month."

"Then I'll go find my third sister-in-law. She has money."

"She was taken out by your third brother to do business. The key to the warehouse is with your mother."

Yuning's face turned pale. "It's over, it's all over. Mother will definitely know about this. No, I'm going to borrow money, but I can't let Mother know."

"Wait, what do you want to borrow? Do you still want my face?"

"Then what do you think we should do?"

"Let me think about it. You guys were set up. Just report it to the police."

"Dad, your youngest son is a hostage. Don't you want him anymore?"

At this time, Yu Gui was almost dying of anxiety. Did his brother abandon him? It had been an hour, why didn't his brother come back yet?
