Rebirth of marriage

Chapter 129 The Conspiracy in Progress

Xie Jiu is destined not to spend this Lantern Festival with Gu Xiao and the others. The Yang family’s aunt came to Yuyouguan to visit her relatives.

The laws of Daxia stipulate that exiles are not allowed to leave Yuyouguan without permission, but it does not prevent relatives and friends from visiting. However, there are only a few people who are really willing to visit the exile.

Therefore, when everyone knew that the Yang family's aunt had traveled thousands of miles from the capital to Yuyouguan years ago, everyone couldn't help but take a high look at her.

Who doesn’t want someone to care about him after he’s down and out, and who doesn’t want someone to help him in times of need. The Yang family got what they couldn’t get.

Some were envious, and some were jealous. It happened that there was nothing to do during the Lantern Festival, so they all went to Yang's house to watch the fun.

The aunt of the Yang family is the biological sister of the Marquis of Yongning, her maiden name is Yang Qingwan, her husband's surname is Wang, and her official rank is fourth.

Yang Qingwan, who is in her 40s, still has skin as smooth as snow. Time has not left any trace on her small face. Instead, it has added the charm of a mature woman, making her look much younger than women of the same age.

When she arrived at Yang's house, she first cried for her brother Yongninghou who died on the way to exile, and then asked the servants around her to help clean and tidy up Cai and Yang Laoer.

Then he thanked the people watching the fun outside, "Thank you all for taking care of my mother's family in the past. I hope you don't dislike me for your kindness."

After saying this, the servants carried baskets and distributed gifts of thanks to everyone.

Two snow-white steamed buns and a big meat bun for each person were very precious items to many prisoners who did not even have enough to eat. They were more substantial than the flashy pastries they used to eat in the capital.

Someone who knew her said, "Mrs. Wang is thoughtful. We are all neighbors and should take care of each other. You are the one who is affectionate and righteous. People who are celebrating the Chinese New Year in the cold winter are still thinking about this place. It's also true for those of us." So polite."

She said this with a bit of guilt. The Yang family's reputation was not good and she was not close to them, but now that she was getting other people's steamed buns and being smelled by the fragrance, she had to be polite.

However, Yang Qingwan seriously thanked everyone again and said with a sad expression, "Thank you for being here. I heard that a thief came to the Yang family to cause trouble before, and everyone helped pull the thief away and bury him.

There have been too many things going on in the Yang family these days. First, my brother died of illness, my sister-in-law had a stroke, and then the children. After hearing these things, I couldn't sit still for a moment. "

Tears welled up in her eyes. She pressed her eyes with a handkerchief and said in a sad voice, "I can't figure out many things even if I try hard to think of them. My brother and sister-in-law have always been in good health, but they are dying from strokes.

The two nieces-in-law, Mrs. Hu, was a girl who grew up in a wealthy family. She would never do anything deviant, or she was a scoundrel with nothing. What did she want from him?

Since Ms. Liu was seeking help from the county governor's wife, how could she kill the county governor's wife and lose her own life, as well as that of my niece Xiner.

She was the most filial person. Her mother was ill in bed. How could she be willing to abandon her family and run for her own life, fearing that they would all be harmed? "

After hearing this, the aunt who was knocked down by 'Yang Xiner' when she was escaping couldn't help but want to refute, but her sleeve was pulled by the person next to her, who motioned her to look at what she was holding.

The Yang family's aunt wants to clear up the Yang family's reputation. They get things for free, and they can't stand it if they don't listen to it. There is no reason to eat.

But there are also those who are on both sides of the fence, echoing Yang Qingwan, "There is indeed something fishy about your family."

Yang Qingwan sighed heavily, sighed, and cried, "My parents' family has become like this. How can I still celebrate the New Year in the capital with peace of mind? I hurry up and hurry up, but it's still too late. That kid Xiu'er doesn't even have a full meal." Just eat it and go.”

At this time, Yang Laoer was also cleaned up by the slaves and carried to the main room. Hearing this, he actually started to cry, "Xiu'er told me the night before that he wanted to work hard to earn money to treat my legs, right? He may have committed suicide, but he was murdered.”

"But everyone saw that he committed suicide." Someone was curious.

Yang Laoer cried, "So many things have happened to our Yang family these days. It's because of evil. To be honest, my legs were sleeping well in the middle of the night, and suddenly they were in the snow and were frozen. It was frozen overnight.

These days, I dream about Xiu'er every night. He told me that he was possessed by evil spirits and lost his life because he was not under his control. Many things that happened in our family before were all caused by evil spirits. "

"That makes sense." Yang Qingwan wiped her tears and patted her nephew's hand, "I just said that the Yang family is doing well in the capital. How come they do such stupid things here? It turns out to be evil spirits. It’s so noisy…”

More and more people came to Yang's house to watch the fun, and most of them came for the steamed buns.

Yang Qingwan came well-prepared and ordered a lot of steamed buns and buns from the city. No one in the room missed anything, and she was so considerate that everyone who had a bad impression of the Yang family couldn't help but follow their words and help Yang. A few words of explanation.

"In this way, it is indeed an evil spirit. You'd better ask a Taoist priest to exorcise the evil spirits."

Yang Qingwan took advantage of the situation and said, "I want to invite you, but I'm here for the first time and I'm not familiar with the place. Can you give me an introduction?"

Many people shook their heads. They were all prisoners. Their life was difficult and it was difficult to fill their stomachs. I had never paid attention to them. This area is the poorest place in Yuyouguan. Most Taoist priests only do business for money and will not come here. If you really want to invite me, you have to go to the city to inquire.

Yang Qingwan asked her servants to go to the city to inquire about it and be sure to invite Taoist priests to the Yang family tomorrow.

The excitement continued into the evening. The servants brought by Yang Qingwan began to prepare the Yang family's Lantern Festival dinner, and everyone left one after another.

Lu Kang taught Xie Jiu what he heard at Yang's house word by word, "Do you want me to go down and follow the servant who invited the Taoist priest?"

During the days he followed Xie Jiu, he had learned about the grievances between the Yang family and Xie Jiu from Wuwei and others. He felt that the evil spirits mentioned by the Yang family probably referred to Xie Jiu.

I was afraid that they would buy Taoist priests, so I asked this question.

Xie Jiu shook his head, "No, you go to the kitchen to eat something first. I will go to Yang's house tonight."

Lu Kang will have to protect him in secret. Today is the Lantern Festival. Xie Jiu doesn't want his subordinates to go hungry because of the Yang family.

She could guess that the Yang family's purpose of bringing up evil spirits was not only to find a fig leaf for their previous scandals, but also to confuse her, but not the ultimate purpose of harming her.

"Yes." Lu Kang said, "There are some skilled servants among that man's servants. Please be more careful."

Thank you for the wine and nod.

Yang Qingwan came all the way and must have made arrangements.

She is not afraid.

Not long after Lu Kang left, Mrs. Hu came to Lin Shu's house with a woman named Wu, and asked her to thank him for the wine and go back to celebrate the Lantern Festival.

Yang Qingwan was the elder, so Xie Jiu had to go if he didn't want to be known as unfilial.

"Understood, you go ahead and I'll go back later." Xie Jiu dismissed the two of them quietly.

"Fourth Young Mistress, my wife is your aunt. She has come all the way for a long time, but you haven't paid her a visit. My wife doesn't care about you, and ordered the old slave to invite you. Your attitude is too perfunctory."

The mother-in-law was a son of the Yang family. She became Yang Qingwan's dowry and went to the Wang family. She was Yang Qingwan's confidant. She was very dissatisfied with Xie Jiu for not meeting Yang Qingwan in time.

Xie Jiu raised his eyes and stared at her with cold eyes.

The woman was inexplicably frightened by this look. She wanted to say something more, but Mrs. Hu pulled her down.

Xie Jiu waited for Lu Kang to fill his stomach and the sky turned dark, then he went to Yang's house unhurriedly.
