The Concubine's Daughter Travels Through Time and Space and Takes the Road of Confrontation

Zhao Tongyi took the letter from the old lady without saying a word and compared it with the one sent by Qingbo. The content of this letter was more detailed and pointed the finger directly at the prince.

Thinking of his elder brother's suggestion, Zhao Tongyi sat down on the chair dejectedly. Yu Ge'er was first assassinated and then tortured in Luzhou, all because he found evidence of the private sale of official salt in Luzhou, and this evidence directly pointed to the Crown Prince Qin Chong of the Qin Dynasty!

The last glimmer of hope was shattered. Ma jumped up from the bed and tore at her husband. Her hair was disheveled and she looked like a madman. Her eyes were red and she screamed, "It's you, it's all you. You want my brother's life, make room for that little bitch!"

Old Lady Wan was anxious and angry and hurriedly asked someone to stop the fight. Qinghui Garden was in chaos. After finally trying to stop the fight, she suddenly heard a cry of "Old Lady!"

Everyone turned to look and saw that the old man who had been standing soundly just now had fainted on the ground. Ma sat down on the ground with her eyes wide open. "Okay, let's all go."

With the exception of the second wife, all the other servants of the Dingyuan Marquis's residence lowered their heads, held their breath, and stood guard beside the old lady's bed. The old man fainted as he awoke, his eyes searching the room before finally settling on the face of Dingyuan Marquis.

"Let them go." Mrs. Wan was very weak. After everyone else in the room left, a tear fell from the corner of her eye. "Duan'er, do you know about this?"

Upon hearing this, Dingyuan Earl Zhao Duan immediately knelt on the ground and said in a deep voice, "Mother, I didn't know anything about it." He had long suspected that the private sale of official salt in Luzhou was related to the prince, and he also knew that his nephew was sent to Luzhou to investigate Madam Zhang, but he never expected that his nephew would actually get involved in the private sale of official salt. He was young and hot-headed, and did something that even he dared not do.

"Now that Brother Yu'er is missing, what are you going to do?" Old Mrs. Wan looked at her son.

Zhao Duan knelt on the ground with his body hunched over. "I will secretly send people to search for her. Please rest assured, mother."

Old Lady Wan looked at the longevity tent above her head, tears in her eyes, and her voice weakened a lot. "You are a grandfather now, and you have your own thoughts. I know you are thinking about all of us. Never mind, go ahead."

Dingyuan Earl Zhao Duan walked out of the old lady's yard without saying a word and returned to the study. He was not surprised to see his younger brother Zhao Fang, but felt deeply tired and weak.

"I know what you want to say." Ding Yuanbo raised his hand to interrupt his brother. "Now is not the time."

Zhao Tongyi stood up and stood in front of the table, his eyes red. "Isn't it time yet? Big brother, Crown Prince Qin Zhong has no moral integrity and has interfered in the officialdom of Luzhou to gain benefits. Isn't this an obvious fact?"

Ding Yuanbo raised his eyes and asked, "Where is the evidence? Do you have any evidence?"

Zhao Fang was speechless, his shoulders drooping, his figure slumped. "So, you're just going to ignore Yu Ge'er? He's your nephew, the one you've watched grow up."

Dingyuan Bo said in a deep voice, "I will send people to search secretly, but this matter should not be made public. The Crown Prince and the Third Prince have become a hindrance to the court, and the emperor's health is getting worse year by year. If our family acts rashly, the consequences will be unimaginable." It has been nearly twenty years since the Crown Prince entered the East Palace, and the situation is stronger than people!

As soon as the Crown Prince Zhao Mingyuan returned, he heard about his cousin Zhao Qingyu. He hurried to his father's study and said, "Father, I heard about my cousin Qingyu. If you send someone to search for him, please leave this matter to me."

Dingyuan Bo nodded without saying anything more and said, "The court will take care of it. I will cover for you. When I go to Luzhou, I must bring your brother back to Kyoto safely."

After hearing what her husband said, Xu Shiyun immediately had someone start packing. Zhao Mingyuan raised his hand to stop her. "Don't bother, I've already had someone pack it. We'll leave tonight."

Xu Shiyun paused and smiled, "I wonder if my mother knows about this?"

"Don't tell her, or she will think too much. Remember to take good care of Huaiming at home." Zhao Mingyuan's face was calm.

Xu Shiyun responded in a low voice. After her husband left, she sat alone for a while before turning off the lights and going to bed.

Seven-year-old Zhao Huaiming got up in the morning and went to pay his respects to his grandmother first, and then went to his mother's yard and bowed respectfully to his mother.

Xu Shiyun asked him to get up and said with a gentle smile, "Ming'er, you must study hard today too." Then she asked someone to take him out.

Xu Huaiming blinked and suddenly said, "Mom, someone in the school said that the son has another mother. Is this true?"

Xu Shiyun's expression changed slightly, but she managed to maintain a smile on her face. "Who said that? It's not true. You are my son."

Zhao Huaiming nodded in confusion.

"Pah!" A teacup cracked on the ground. Xu Shiyun said with a gloomy face, "Investigate, investigate for me, who said these nonsense to me?"

Cui finally found out that her son had gone to Luzhou. She rushed into the upper room of the main courtyard with her maid and slapped the maid who was blocking her way.

"Who are you to stand in my way?"

Xu Shiyun from the inner room heard the noise and slowly came out. "Mom, what happened?"

Cui was furious. "Did you instigate Mingyuan to go to Luzhou? When you were still in the boudoir, you were close friends with the young lady from the second house. Now that her brother is in trouble, you don't send anyone to help him, but instead bring disaster to my son."

Xu Shiyun was silent. She didn't know how to refute.

Seeing her like this, Cui lost interest, cursed her a few more times, and turned away with her people.

Such scenes happened every now and then, and the people in the yard were used to it. The maid even lay on the side and cried softly. Xu Shiyun stood up from the ground and turned back to the house.

When Miss Cui heard from her maid that the eldest lady wanted her to come over and talk to her, she couldn't help but hesitate, because her aunt had hinted to her several times that she should stay in the mansion.

She was born into the Cui family, and her brother passed the imperial examination at a young age. Was she going to become someone's concubine? Cui Mingyi lowered her eyes.

She didn't come to the upper room in the main courtyard very often, but every time she did, she felt uncomfortable, as if the furnishings in the room lacked a lot of freshness. She walked in with her little maid and bowed to the eldest lady sitting under the south window.

Xu Shiyun smiled and asked her to sit down. She poured her a cup of tea and handed it to her. "Cousin, if you have nothing to do, come and sit with me more often."

Cui Mingyi responded in a low voice and said, "My cousin is busy with the household affairs in the mansion, and Mingyi is afraid to disturb you."

"I'm not that busy. It just so happens that I have some free time tomorrow. Xiyuan has a new opera. Why don't you come with me to listen to the opera? Mother will go too." Xu Shiyun spoke slowly with a gentle smile.

Cui Mingyi was a little hesitant at first, but when she heard that her aunt was also going, she smiled and agreed. She returned to the courtyard and asked the maid to open the box to find clothes. The maid frowned and said, "Miss, it's really not easy for the eldest lady to be so kind."

Cui Mingyi took out the clothes from the box and said, "As a wife, this is how it is. Let's not talk about the past anymore." Last time, my aunt got me drunk and sent me to my cousin's room. If my cousin's wife hadn't found me in time, I would have been carried into my cousin's backyard in a sedan chair.
