Chapter 161: Scheming
After such a fuss, the news spread throughout the capital, and the marriage of the Tong Lan family naturally stopped. Don't say that it is good for in-laws to marry two surnames, but I am afraid that they will form an enmity.
The queen was furious and sent Lan Yuanxin to question, but Lan Yuanxin had an unexpected miscarriage and couldn't get out of bed at all. Father Lan had the intention to kill this unfilial daughter who ruined the family, but he was afraid of guilt, but he was scolded by Mrs. Lan.
Mrs. Lan is a shrewd character, where would she not know that her daughter has an affair with someone, and she is the most favored by this little daughter, so she is used to such a temperament.
She originally thought that although Yu Qilin had no official position, he was also Yu Taifu's sister-in-law, and the two families were also a good match. But I don't want Yu Qilin to delay it again and again, until the emperor gives him a marriage, and there is no movement for a long time.
Mrs. Lan has repeatedly taught her daughter that the innocence of her daughter's family is the most important thing, and she can only hand it over on her wedding night.
I thought that my daughter had always been smart, but I didn't want Lan Yuanxin to resist the sweet words of the playboy Yu Qilin, who secretly tasted the forbidden fruit and became pregnant.
Mrs. Lan also forced her daughter to break her mind and wait for marriage, and Tong Wenguang, who was a fourth-class servant in the official residence at a young age, was not bad. My aunt is the queen, and she is cousin to the two princes, and it is also a rare good marriage.
didn't want his daughter to have a secret knot in her womb, and she leaked the stuffing in front of the public. Now that Tong Wenguang's green hat is worn all over the city, how the Tong family is willing to give up, today's queen will not let them go easily.
Mrs. Lan weighed the pros and cons, so she could only pull Yu into the water as a backing. settled his daughter well, and did not clean up his makeup, so he described himself as embarrassed to enter the palace to meet the queen.
Old Man Lan didn't dare to make a sound, and when the words came to Mrs. Lan's mouth, he naturally wanted to say something.
So it became Yu Qilin, a careless prodigal, who played with the young and ignorant Lan Yuanxin, but Lan Yuanxin was an innocent girl who was deceived into her feelings.
This is true, but the love of men and women is your love, and Lan Yuanxin is also self-inflicted. Not to mention that Lan Yuanxin knew that she was pregnant, and she wanted to whitewash Taiping and marry into the Tong family.
The Tong family was not lightly angered, Lan Yuanxin has now had a miscarriage, and she deserves it, and for the sake of Old Master Lan's face, it is not good to be too harsh. But Yu Qilin's sin of wandering and abandoning the chaos from the beginning cannot be escaped.
The news that the emperor was going to give Tong Lan and the two families a marriage spread early, and the Lan family was not easy to speak, Yu Qilin obviously had already married Lan Yuanxin, but he was still indifferent and allowed the two families to marry, and his intentions were really hateful!
The Tong family suffered such a great humiliation, the Tong family couldn't swallow this breath, and immediately took Mrs. Lan to Emperor Yuanhe to complain to the Yu family. Emperor Yuan He had no choice but to let the father and son of the Yu family come to confront him.
A good marriage was involved in the confrontation between the three families.
Needless to say, Lan Yingxin has no place for her in the capital, and after she is well raised, she will be sent to the countryside Zhuangzi, I am afraid that she will not return to the capital in this life.
Tong Wenguang suffered this unwarranted disaster for no reason, and he didn't know how long he would be treated as a joke, and he still needed to be appeased.
As for Yu Qilin, he needs to make a good decision. This matter can be big or small, to say that this is a child's private relationship, but to say that Yu Qilin is a crime of defrauding the king.
The priorities are all in the emperor's thoughts.
Emperor Yuanhe's eyes turned to Mrs. Lan who was crying and wiping away her tears, and the imposing queen, and finally looked at Mrs. Yu helplessly and said, "Yu Aiqing, now that the matter is over, it's time to give an explanation to the Lan family and the Tong family, what do you say?" β
Yu Taifu just learned about this and was caught off guard for a while. He had always known that his eldest son was not angry, and he never thought that he would be such a bastard.
Yu Taifu knows that the emperor has always regarded himself as a thorn in his side, and he can't wait to get rid of it quickly. So he has always been cautious, but he doesn't want to end up in the hands of his son.
Yu Qilin didn't want to run into a ghost if he walked too much at night, knowing that he was really in trouble this time, he looked at his father in a panic.
Mrs. Yu really wanted to kill her relatives in righteousness, but she couldn't help but soften when she looked at the similar appearance of her eldest son and her late wife.
He slowly knelt down and said in a deep voice: "It was Weichen's godson who had no way to commit such a disaster. The son is not the fault of the godfather, this matter is all the fault of the minister, and the minister is willing to let the emperor fall. β
The corners of Emperor Yuanhe's lips raised slightly, looked at the Tong family on the side, and asked, "Then according to the queen's opinion, what should I do?" β
Tong said with a cold face: "Yu Taifu's words are reasonable, if it weren't for Yu Taifu's momentum, how would he dare to do such a ridiculous thing." Yu Taifu's family has this son, how can he still serve as Taixue Taifu, isn't it a mistake! β
Yu Qilin raised his head suddenly, and then his heart was horizontal, and he kowtowed and pleaded: "Your Majesty, the queen, this matter was done by me alone, my father didn't know it at all, and it had nothing to do with my father." If you want to punish me, punish me, the grass people will never complain! β
Yu Taifu scolded: "Okay, I still have the face to say such ugly things." You shut up for me, there is no place for you to speak here, you honestly kneel and admit your mistakes. β
Tong snorted coldly, and Yu Taifu said again: "Weichen is willing to obey the queen's mother, and he will definitely discipline the dogs strictly in the future, and he will never dare to commit it again." β
Emperor Yuanhe pretended to sigh: "Alas, since this is the case, then so be it." I don't know if Lan Aiqing and Mrs. Lan are still satisfied with this? β
The Lan family is already glad that they can get rid of this disaster, where do they dare to say more. After all, if it is true, Lan Yuanxin is the real culprit.
Mrs. Lan hurriedly said: "Since it is the meaning of the queen's mother, she is naturally satisfied." "Hot search
When he got out of the palace, Master Lan breathed a sigh of relief. Now that Lan Yuanxin has been said to be a victim, he has the confidence, and said indignantly: "This kid from the Yu family has harmed Yuan'er, and he is unharmed, but it is just that Yu Taifu stepped down from the post of Taifu." He is now in the position of Zhongshu Ling, and he is really cheap compared to the position of Taixue Taifu. β
Mrs. Lan looked at her husband with hatred and scolded: "With your brain, it's no wonder that you haven't been promoted for so many years." You don't want to think about it, how can Taifu Yu be able to invade the government and the opposition with the children of a poor family to the present?
It's not because he is the master of Chinese studies, he is full of peach and plums, and there are many protΓ©gΓ©s, so he has his own faction. So even though he is now serving as the Zhongshu Order, and he is the prime minister of Zuo, he is still respected as Yu Taifu. β
She sneered, and continued: "Letting him step down from the post of Taifu now is tantamount to cutting off his arm. In the future, I am afraid that the prince of the country will be the emperor's word, and Mrs. Yu ...... That's all for Prime Minister Yu's qi
As for the boy from the Yu family, without the Taifu father who served in the Chinese Studies, if he wants to take the official career, he can only rely on the imperial examination honestly, and he doesn't know when he will be able to find an official and a half-job.
And when the emperor will not give him a head, he is destroying his future and complaining about others. Let's go back and see Yuan'er, we should also spread the word well, others in the province always put their eyes on our house. β
Within half a day, the matter had spread throughout the capital. I heard that Mrs. Lan was angry and vomited blood, and she had closed her door to thank her and was shameless, and even Lan Yingxin, the daughter of the Lan family, was also implicated and was talked about together.
Only now can Bai Yanran see it clearly.
I'm afraid that Emperor Yuanhe knew about Lan Yuanxin and Yu Qilin's affair early on, so he suddenly gave Tong Wenguang and Lan Yuanxin a marriage, and Lan Yuanxin's miscarriage in public was even more strange.
A marriage not only made the Tong Lan family completely turn against each other, but also forced Yu Taifu to step down as Taifu in order to protect his son.
But Bai Yanran couldn't help but wonder in her heart, why Emperor Yuanhe was such a scheming and calculating person, why he couldn't see that the disaster in the court now came mostly from his indulgence and favor of Lan Guifei and King Jian's mother and son.
was thinking about it, and someone hugged her from behind, bringing a chill.
"What is the lady thinking so intrigued?"
It was Ji Lingyun who had just come back from outside, Bai Yanran relaxed her body and leaned into the generous arms of the man behind her, and sighed: "I'm thinking, I finally found out the spies in the mansion, so that I can sleep peacefully in the future." β
Keeping Miao Yu was just to find out her accomplices, but now it has alerted him. In order to prevent the dog from jumping off the wall and doing something crazy, now the person has been captured and sent to the extreme prison for interrogation.
Ji Lingyun rubbed her hair lovingly, and said, "With me here, no one will hurt you." β
was drugged in makeup powder before, and Liu Xing'er was assassinated in the middle of the night, Bai Yanran was always awakened by nightmares these days. Fortunately, with Ji Lingyun sleeping next to her every time, she can fall asleep again.
Bai Yanran turned around, looked at him and asked, "Has Miao Yu recruited it?" β
Ji Lingyun nodded and said in a deep voice: "She survived for a long time after she entered the extreme prison, but then Lian Yue led people to search out two letters from under her bed, and she was relieved. β
Bai Yanran saw that his face was not good-looking, and she was a little uneasy in her heart.
"Who is behind the scenes?"
Ji Lingyun's peace of mind was cold, and he spit out two words.
"Tong family."
This was something Bai Yanran didn't expect, and she was stunned for a while before she reacted.
"Jiang is still old and spicy, and Mrs. Tong is really scheming. sent Zhu Yong over on the bright side to take charge of the housekeeper. Secretly, he let Miao Yu lurk and do something inconvenient to come forward. β
Having said that, Bai Yanran also has something to understand.
"But if she is from the Tong family, why does she have anything to do with the people in Prime Minister Zuo's mansion?"
Ji Lingyun shook his head and said: "There were only two letters from her room that exchanged with the Tong family, and she quickly explained after reading it, it was Mrs. Tong who didn't worry about Zhu Yong, and left her as a backhand."
But she only admitted Liu Xing'er's incident, but she didn't admit the previous Chunyi drugging, haunting Qiao'er, and poisoning and killing people. And she only said that she bewitched Liu Xing'er, and did not admit to giving her medicine, I am afraid that there is something to hide. β
Bai Yanran was not surprised, and said: "Miao Yu has been lurking in the palace for many years, and can be favored by Old Madam Tong, he must be a thoughtful and smart person.
Now we suspect that Chunyi, Qiao'er and Liu Xing'er were done by the same person, just because they were all poisoned. As long as she denies drugging Liu Xing'er, we have no other evidence.
And the poison she used before was all from the Spring Pavilion and did not stay by her side, which shows her caution. And this poison is unheard of even by the imperial doctors in the palace, I am afraid that the origin is not simple, and it should not be known to outsiders. β
Ji Lingyun also said: "I think the same way, but the proprietress of the Spring Pavilion is a hard bone, and she hasn't spoken yet." That's why I haven't let the Spring Pavilion be sealed yet, and I must find out where the source of this poison is. β
