Quick Wear: The Development of a Pure Cannon Fodder
Chapter 194 The Frustrated Crown Prince’s Wife (35)
If we talk about shame, they are the most ashamed, so if we talk about resentment, they are also the most resentful. So the couple decided to make this branch disappear! Of course, to look good on the surface, they still said to the outside world that the damned robbers asked for too much ransom. They have devoted themselves to the court for many years and don’t have much money. They have to give them a few days to collect the money, right?
In just a few days, the Dali Temple obtained evidence of the crimes of the Dong family's side branch. This evidence did not implicate the direct line, but only listed the mistakes of the side branch, such as exploiting the lower class people, seizing land, and even engaging in human trafficking. It was almost enough to sentence Dong's father, who was still in the dungeon, to death along with the entire family.
The direct descendants of the Dong family were afraid that the Dali Temple would let off the side branches because of their own family's reasons, so they went to make arrangements with the prefect of the Dali Temple, saying that every family has its own laws and that the matter must be handled impartially. They also offered a lot of benefits, so the sentence was handed down quickly.
The Dong family's side branch that was sentenced knew without even thinking that it was a revenge by the main line, but they had no evidence and could only be sent to the guillotine in despair. Dong's mother never saw where her son was until her death.
The direct descendants of the Dong family, including Concubine Dong and the Fourth Prince, were naturally very satisfied and happy with the outcome, but they didn't know that the happiest person behind the scenes was Madam Yu.
Madam Yu watched the Dong family's direct descendants and side branches fighting each other. The last one was so disgraced that the whole capital laughed at them, while the other family had no good end. She chuckled and said to Nanny Wang beside her: "Then Dong Zhe is useless. Let's get rid of him."
"Yes."
Soon, a stupid beggar with tattered clothes and a disfigured face appeared in a corner of the capital. The stupid beggar had no legs and could only crawl forward on the ground with his broken hands. He smiled at people every day. Some people even looked closely and found that this stupid beggar was not only stupid, but also had no tongue, so he could only smile at people, but that rotten face was extremely scary when he smiled.
After scaring the young master of a certain family one time, the other family's parents ordered his servants to beat him to death. After all, he was just a beggar, so the government just fined him a symbolic amount of money, locked up the servant for a few days, and then hastily wrapped the beggar's body in a straw mat and threw it into a mass grave. That was the end of the matter.
During this period, Yu Zinyin went to a nearby teahouse and watched the beggar being beaten to death. After watching it, he asked Cuiguo to pay and left quietly.
Now, Yu Zixi brought her own death upon herself by sending herself to a farm in the countryside to "recuperate". Dong Zhe and his family, who had ruined the reputation of the women of the Right Prime Minister's family, also disappeared. All she had to do now was to stay with Madam Yu as a good daughter and wait to get married. As for Yu Fangfang, she didn't need to worry about her for the time being, because Aunt Yun had become honest, and Yu Fangfang was also forced to be honest. All she had to do was to pay more attention to her after she got married.
Yu Zinyin didn't think that Yu Fangfang would be obedient after her brother Yu Qi was no longer holding her back, because all of Yu Fangfang's actions were most influenced by Aunt Yun, and Aunt Yun was not a easy woman to deal with right now. As long as she existed, she would find ways to use her puppet Yu Fangfang to benefit herself, so she had to be on guard against her.
Later on, Yu Zinyin focused her attention on attending the new banquet. At most, she read some news about Yu Zixi passed on by her subordinates and then ignored it.
Although he seemed seriously ill, he was actually poisoned by some drugs. On the way to the country village, Yu Zixi, who was about to die, encountered robbers. The robbers killed all the people accompanying him. If it weren't for the officials nearby who "accidentally" discovered the situation here, Yu Zixi would have died at the hands of those robbers who robbed money. Everything was so perfect, as if it was a play specially arranged by someone, full of coincidences and weirdness.
Afterwards, the government officials sent her to a farm in the countryside to settle her down, and a few days later, the Right Prime Minister's Mansion sent someone to look after Yu Zixi.
Although Yu Zixi was poisoned and fell into a coma, after thinking about it for several days, he could roughly guess that the robbery scene was completely a plot by the Right Prime Minister's Mansion to kill people and silence them, and the officers and soldiers who appeared afterwards must have been specially arranged by the Right Prime Minister's Mansion.
After all, if she died in this bandit attack, the news of her death would surely spread to the capital. If the people in the capital knew that the fourth daughter of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, who was seriously ill and sent to the farm to recuperate, was killed by bandits on the way, even a fool would know that this was a means for the Right Prime Minister's Mansion to kill and silence her. At that time, her reputation would surely be damaged, and the elders and children in the family would also be branded with a vicious reputation.
But if only these servants died, things would be much simpler. No one would care about their life or death. They would just think that it was just a matter of time and fate. They would even sigh that the fourth young lady of the Right Prime Minister's family was really lucky to have saved her life.
But even if Yu Zixi figured this out, no one could understand her inner thoughts, because she was too ill to get out of bed, or even speak. The maidservants around her were no longer her trusted confidants, as they had all been killed on the way here. Now, the people on the farm were all sent by the Right Prime Minister's Mansion to monitor her, and there was no way they could work for her.
Faced with this ending, Yu Zixi could only shed tears every day and feel endless regret. The hoarse and desperate crying in the room would not stop until midnight. Sometimes, perhaps because she was too sad and desperate, she could not stop crying even in the second half of the night. But everything was her own choice. Even if Yu Zixi cried her eyes blind, no one would sympathize with her.
Yu Zinyin lit the paper with Yu Zixi's information with a fire stick, and watched the paper being devoured by the fire and turned into ashes in her hand. The flames shone on her flickering little face, making her cold eyes tinged with a bit of warmth. She threw it casually, and the small flame devoured the last nutrients in the air and disappeared before it hit the ground.
"Miss, the lady is ready and has sent someone to ask if we can set off. Don't miss the time." Cuiguo walked in and asked.
"Okay, that's okay." Yu Zinyin stood up and walked out of her yard with Cuiguo's support.
……
This is the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, so it is held in the palace. The Emperor and the Empress will accompany them. Even some people from the Cheng'en Mansion who are in mourning will go. After all, they are the Empress Dowager's family members, and it would be embarrassing if they didn't come.
In the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, except for Yu Qi who was still young and didn't know the palace rules, and Yu Zixi who had been sent to a farm in the countryside to recuperate and could not go, the other children, namely Yu Li, Yu Zinyin and Yu Fangfang, would follow the Right Prime Minister and Madam Yu.
Although the Right Prime Minister's Mansion has been the most discussed topic in the capital recently because of the affairs of a concubine and the fourth young lady in the mansion, fortunately there is the Dong family in front to bear the pressure, and most people's attention is still on the Dong family. Therefore, at the banquet, before the banquet officially started, except for a few young ladies who came up to ask Yu Zinyin about the news of the fourth young lady of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, the rest of them pulled Yu Zinyin aside to talk about the affairs of the Dong family.
