Twenty-eighth Final Strike Twenty-Eighth

However, her aunt's reply disappointed her, because her aunt could not influence her uncle's decision, and her aunt had become a monk because of emotional problems. My aunt was also married since she was a child, and as the daughter of the royal court, a descendant of the British government, it was impossible to marry the common people, and she could not marry into the royal family, so she had to intermarry with each other among the nobles. My aunt already had a nominal husband when she was eight years old, and when she was twelve years old, my aunt went to her mother-in-law's house for the first time, but she didn't expect to meet a boy of a similar age. My aunt thought that this boy was her future husband, so she immediately let go of her heart and tried to accept the boy. I didn't expect my aunt to pay attention, and then I realized that this boy was not her future husband but her husband's younger brother. The sister-in-law fell in love with her brother-in-law, and this kind of thing hit the aunt hard. For the sake of her own happiness, my aunt hopes that her mother's family will change her marriage partner. Unexpectedly, the two brothers on the other side had already taken a fancy to their aunt, and the two brothers even fought privately for their aunt. For this reason, my aunt was in a dilemma, and she couldn't harm the two brothers in her mother-in-law, so she voluntarily became a monk and broke off her life's marriage.

Her aunt persuaded Zhang Yue'e to either learn from her to cut off her love and become a monk early, or she had to accept everything in line with fate. Zhang Yue'e knew the hardships and loneliness of being a monk, so she accepted her uncle's arrangement. During this time, Zhang Yue'e went to her aunt again, and her life in the valley made Zhang Yue'e, the eldest lady, firm in her determination. For people from wealthy families, it's okay to have a dull life, but she can't stand the loneliness and hardship.

Zhang Yue'e officially went north when she was thirteen years old, and according to the rules of a large family, she had to live in her in-law's house for a period of time to adapt to the life of her in-law's family. The in-laws should also take this opportunity to inspect the future daughter-in-law, and if they find that something is wrong, they can withdraw from the marriage. However, a large family like the British Mansion, whether it is married out or married, is from a noble family, and there is generally no problem. Zhang Yue'e's engagement partner is the Xu family in the capital, and she can be regarded as the son of a noble family.

Speaking of this Xu family, it is actually more powerful than the Zhang family of the British Mansion. The owner of the first generation of the Xu family is Xu Da, that is, Xu Da, the first generalissimo of the Ming Dynasty who helped the founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang conquer most of the country. Xu Da's combat exploits are the first in the world, and his level is unmatched. When Xu Da was alive, he was the prince of Wei Guogong, a super-first-class official in the imperial court, and concurrently served as the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses. After his death, he was named the king of Zhongshan by Zhu Yuanzhang, and there are only a handful of kings with different surnames in the Ming Dynasty. Xu Da's eldest son, Xu Huizu, inherited the status of the Duke of Wei after Xu Da's death, and the family had an iron scroll of the Death-free Dan issued by Zhu Yuanzhang himself. The Duke of Wei is hereditary, that is, there is no need to demote the inherited high-ranking titles. It stands to reason that as long as the Zhu family is the emperor, the Xu family will be prosperous forever. Unexpectedly, Zhu Yuanzhang passed the throne to his eldest grandson, and this emperor was Zhu Yunwen, the Jianwen Emperor in history. This decision directly caused Zhu Yunwen's uncles to be very dissatisfied, and the relationship between uncle and nephew deteriorated soon after Zhu Yuanzhang's death. First, Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen acted against his uncles at the instigation of some ministers. Then these uncles teamed up to deal with this nephew who was the emperor, and in the end, there was a war between the uncle and nephew for the throne of this emperor. At that time, Xu Da's eldest daughter married Zhu Yuanzhang's fourth son, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, was the most ambitious, and he had long wanted to pull down his nephew and become the emperor himself. Zhu Di, the king of Yan, launched the Jingnan Rebellion, nominally to clear the rebellious ministers for his nephew Zhu Yunwen, but in fact to force Zhu Yunwen to step down. Some of Zhu Yunwen's subordinates are civil officials who can speak well, but there is a lack of generals who can fight. At that time, there was one military general that could be used, and that was Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei. But after Xu Huizu's sister became Princess Yan, Zhu Yunwen no longer believed in Xu Huizu. Besides, Xu Da's youngest son Xu Zengshou has become a fierce general under Zhu Di, the king of Yan, and Zhu Yunwen doesn't believe Xu Huizu even more. In the end, Zhu Yunwen lost the opportunity to defend and counterattack because of this wrong decision, and finally led to a defeat. Xu Huizu, who was loyal to Zhu Yunwen, fought with his family to the end, and after being captured by Zhu Di, the king of Yan, he still preferred to die and did not give in. If it weren't for the desperate persuasion of Empress Xu and her younger brother Xu Zengshou, Zhu Di would have killed this disobedient brother-in-law a long time ago. After Zhu Di, the king of Yan, became the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, he crowned his wife Xu as the queen of Xu, and Xu Zengshou as the prince of Dingguo. Since then, the Xu family has two branches in the north and south, and the Xu family in the south capital is the descendant of Xu Da's eldest son Xu Huizu, who has guarded the south capital for generations, and now because it cannot be hereditary, it has been demoted to the general of the town state. The Xu family in Beijing is the descendant of Xu Zengshou, the youngest son of Xu Da, and still holds a hereditary title of Dingguo Gong. The person Zhang Yue'e wants to marry is the eldest son of Dingguo Gong today, which means that Zhang Yue'e will become the wife of the Xu family in the future.

After Zhang Yue'e arrived at Xu's house, the Xu family was okay with Zhang Yue. But Zhang Yue'e is not satisfied with her husband, because this boy who looks even weaker than herself is really not Zhang Yue'e's husband candidate. may be because there are too many girls in the family, this young master of the Xu family looks like a girl in both shape and tone. Standing with Zhang Yue'e, he is more like a young lady than Zhang Yue'e. At that time, Zhang Yue'e was ignorant, and thought that this was because the young master of the Xu family was young, and he would look like a man when he grew up in the future. Unexpectedly, until she officially married the eldest young master of the Xu family, this eldest young master was still like this. Later, she inquired from experienced people, and it turned out that this eldest young master was a "second chair", that is, a man who was not a man. Zhang Yue'e quarreled for this reason, but for the sake of the face of the two families, neither her mother-in-law nor her mother's family allowed Zhang Yue'e to do anything out of the ordinary. Zhang Yue'e had no choice but to live this kind of life where having a man equals not having a man. Every day, I am either in a daze at my mother-in-law's house, or I go to some shops to take a look.

After an acquaintance's introduction, Zhang Yue'e joined a noble lady's organization. The people here are all wives of the descendants of the Xungui family. They are not doing very well at home, and the men in the family look for other women. The mother-in-law didn't mean to them that scolding Huai was a criticism and lesson, and there was intrigue between the concubines. So they formed a small group to encourage each other and support each other when things happened. Sometimes they will share some experiences, and even plan some actions against the vixens who robbed their men.

Zhang Yue'e gradually liked this kind of life, often participated in organizational activities, and even participated in the operation against fox spirits. Because the British government was born as a military general, and Zhang Yue'e lived near Yong'an Temple and learned some kung fu, Zhang Yue'e gradually became a backbone of the organization. Soon after, in the circle of noble ladies, especially in the circle of noble ladies in the capital, the Zhang family of the Xu family was not small. When some elderly people choose their daughters-in-law, they use this Xu family Zhang as a negative teaching material. The Xu family warned Zhang Yue'e many times, but Zhang Yue'e not only didn't listen, but also hoped that the Xu family would kick her out of the door, and the Xu family was worried that driving Zhang Yue'e away would expose her son's affairs, so they didn't dare to force Zhang Yue'e too much. Zhang Yue'e also knew that the Xu family wanted face, so she made trouble even more unscrupulously.

Soon after, Zhang Yue'e boldly disguised herself as a man to participate in the assembly of some noble sons, some people knew Zhang Yue'e's identity, but they were afraid of the prestige of the Xu family and the Zhang family, and no one dared to offend Zhang Yue'e. Even Yan Shifan, who has always been bold and dares to do anything, did not dare to easily contact this eldest lady of the Zhang family and the eldest and youngest grandmother of the Xu family. Who is Yan Shifan? His father was Yan Song, the first assistant minister of the Ming Cabinet at that time and the most trusted person of Emperor Jiajing. Yan Shifan was also the secretary of the Ministry of Industry at that time, the cabinet quasi-cabinet elder, and the most popular candidate for the first assistant of the cabinet in the future. But he didn't dare to offend the people of the Xungui family, the people of the Xungui family not only held together but were all military generals, and they liked to talk with their fists when they had something. People like the Xu family and others have iron coupons to avoid death, even if they kill someone, they will be fine. Zhang Yue'e knew this, so she dared to participate in the rally unscrupulously, she believed that no one would dare to confront the entire Xungui family.

But you can't be too confident in being a man, and Zhang Yue, who has always been lawless, finally tasted her bitter fruits. In a gathering of noble sons, Zhang Yue'e had something that shouldn't have happened with a man in a daze. Zhang Yue'e didn't expect that anyone would dare to do this, and would rather offend the Xungui family led by the Xu family and the Zhang family, and take away her virginity. Zhang Yue'e thought that this man was Yan Shifan, Zhang Yue'e broke into Yan's house directly, and Yan Shifan told Zhang Yue'e with a mocking tone that he was not the man Zhang Yue'e was looking for. No matter how stupid Zhang Yue'e is, she knows that Yan Shifan knows who this man is, but Yan Shifan's attitude makes Zhang Yue'e dare not imagine it. Yan Shifan knew who this man was and wanted to protect this man, it seems that the relationship between the two is not ordinary. This man has the protection of the Yan family, and he is not afraid that the Zhang family and the Xu family will make trouble, is this man from the royal family? If this is the case, Zhang Yue'e will suffer this loss, and the Xu family and the Zhang family will not dare to help Zhang Yue'e come out.
