My elder sister stole my marriage? She regretted and cried after I married the general.
Chapter 214: Jump out of the pit dug by **
Old Madam Shen never worried about money in her life.
Even though she lived in the countryside before, her husband's family had good farmland. Later, her husband joined the army and received a monthly salary.
Later, her husband's official positions became higher and higher, and the whole family moved to Shengjing, where they lived a wealthy life.
I didn’t expect that I would still be short of money when I’m so old!
"Madam Qin, you go find Lin'er in person tomorrow and ask him to take out three thousand taels of silver," said Old Lady Shen.
Fearing that Ye Qinghuan would interfere and refuse to take it, she added, "If he refuses, I will remove his name from the family tree!"
"Yes!"
----
The next day, Nanny Qin came to ask for money.
Facing the cold mistress and the expressionless general, she prepared many lines.
Unexpectedly, Ye Qinghuan gave the money without saying a word: "Three thousand taels of silver notes, just consider it as a gift from me and the general. Please accept my condolences, third brother!"
"Ah this..."
Nanny Qin was dumbfounded.
So refreshing?
"I'm not feeling well and can't worry about you. The general is very busy, so we'll attend on the day of the funeral." Ye Qinghuan said.
What matters right now is money!
As long as I can get the money, nothing else matters!
Nanny Qin happily took the money and left. Shen Lin frowned: "Why did Madam give them money?"
"Give Zhao Qingyao the last bit of dignity." Ye Qinghuan smiled, "When she said she could help us before, I didn't believe it. I didn't expect that she would be so determined to die."
"She would do anything for Zhao Long." Shen Lin said, "Yesterday in front of the emperor, Gao Yu refused to admit his guilt. Zhao Qingyao produced many evidences of Gao Yu's crimes and even committed suicide to prove his will. Gao Yu was so angry that he only regretted not killing her when the Zhao family was destroyed."
"If you don't remove the roots of the grass, it will grow again in the spring breeze." Ye Qinghuan had a hint of meaning.
*** is ambitious and will never stop.
Even though Gao Yu died, there are still several princes to be trained.
If the emperor keeps her, it will undoubtedly be a big trouble!
"If *** hadn't gone to Beidi to marry, there wouldn't be the current emperor. The emperor was reluctant to part with ***, so Zhao Qingyao's current identity is still Qin Ling'er, and Shen Rong has not been implicated." Shen Lin said.
Ye Qinghuan asked: "What is the relationship between the late queen and ***?"
"Not good." Shen Lin shook his head.
Ye Qinghuan made up his mind: It was time to learn more about the late queen. However, Shen Lin had been away from home for many years and didn't know much.
Then she thought of someone: Mrs. Bai.
The Xia and Bai families came to Beijing first to establish their roots, so they must know something.
"The emperor is still looking for Princess Jiahe. If senior brother contacts you, tell him to be careful." Shen Lin instructed.
Ye Qinghuan said: "Senior Brother is most afraid of trouble. It is impossible for him to be with Jiahe County Master now."
"Oh! Then..."
Shen Lin frowned.
How can a simple person like Jiahe survive without a protector?
"She has to learn to live on her own." Although Ye Qinghuan was worried, he was open-minded.
No one is obligated to protect anyone all the time. People always have to grow up on their own.
I hope that after this experience, Princess Jiahe can learn to survive independently.
While Shen Lin was on business, Ye Qinghuan quietly invited Mrs. Bai to meet him.
"What instructions does the master have?" Mrs. Bai bowed respectfully.
"How much do you know about the late queen?" Ye Qinghuan asked.
Madam Bai bowed and said, "According to the information we have received, the late queen was poisoned to death. The prince was only seven years old at the time. After the late queen was poisoned, he began to have poor health, and the imperial physicians could not cure him for a long time. When he was ten years old, the prince left Shengjing to recuperate."
"The late queen and the emperor were not on good terms, but after her death, many of her belongings were taken away by the emperor. The prince suspected that the emperor had poisoned her, and has been secretly looking for evidence over the years."
"But there is not enough evidence to bring down ***. Anyone who is friendly with *** is considered an enemy by the prince."
Ye Qinghuan took out the jade hairpin given by the empress: "This is also the thing of the late queen, given by the empress."
"The bastard wants to harm the head of the family!" Madam Bai exclaimed immediately, "Head of the family, this matter must be explained clearly to the prince. Otherwise, you and the general will be suspected by the prince!"
Ye Qinghuan played with the jade hairpin, his eyes full of ice and snow: "I accepted this hairpin at the beginning, just thinking that the prince would leave me some leeway when seeing the hairpin. I didn't expect that it was a trap set by the ***."
"The Queen probably wants to force the General to join her." Madam Bai patted her chest, "Fortunately, the Crown Prince trusts the General and the Minister now."
"Do you know about the friendship between my mother and the late queen?" Ye Qinghuan asked.
Mrs. Bai shook her head: "I'm not sure about that."
Ye Qinghuan: ………
Mom, you have left me with a big problem!
…………
Two days later, the Shen family officially held the funeral.
Because the emperor did not make public the fact that Qin Ling'er was Zhao Qingyao, the Shen family announced to the public: Qin Ling'er died of a sudden illness.
The funeral was held at a very high standard and many people came to pay their respects.
Crown Prince Gao Xun also came.
The black robe was a bit solemn, but the dragon-shaped hairpin on the jade crown showed the royal nobility.
Old Madam Shen returned the gift with Shen Rong, Shen Lin, and Ye Qinghuan.
"His Royal Highness..."
"No gift!"
Gao Xun personally helped Old Madam Shen up to show his importance to the Shen family.
When he glanced at Ye Qinghuan, he was surprised by the jade hairpin in her hair.
Shen Lin and Ye Qinghuan knew what was going on, so they said calmly, "Your Highness, this is my wife, Ye."
"Mrs. Shen has an extraordinary demeanor, worthy of being a descendant of the Bai family." Gao Xun stared at the jade hairpin for a long time, "I wonder where the jade hairpin came from?"
"Your Highness, this is a reward from the emperor." Ye Qinghuan said.
The former queen's legacy should be left to Gao Xun, how could it be given to others at will? If I don't make it clear where it came from today, I'm afraid it will cause trouble in the future!
Sure enough, Gao Xun's pupils shrank, and he turned and left without staying long.
Ye Qinghuan heaved a sigh of relief and whispered to Shen Lin, "The hole that *** dug for us has been filled."
"When you accepted her gift, you had this in mind, right?" Shen Lin asked.
"I've thought about it a little, but not so deeply. I just figured it out recently." Ye Qinghuan said honestly.
Shen Lin quietly held her hand, thanking her for her wit.
Old Madam Shen didn't notice any of this, and she and Bai Zhi tried their best to deal with the funeral.
When it was all over, his old bones were too tired to move, and he lay in bed sighing, "I'm old, and I'm too tired to do anything."
"Madam, the family still needs a mistress." Nanny Qin said.
"Let's wait and see. After the mourning period is over and I ask for the Queen's permission, I will let Rong'er remarry." Old Madam Shen said.
Nanny Qin agreed and prepared medicine.
Bai Zhi had just finished the work at hand and came to report, but when she heard the conversation inside, she paused and her heart ached.
It turns out that the bride that Old Madam Shen wanted to marry was never her!
She had no status before, but now she is almost finding her relatives! How can they skip her and go see other noble ladies?
