Marquis Xuanwu left Xie's house making a big fuss.
Xie Jingyu was beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. He lay on the ground for a long time and could not get up.
Although his body hurt, he found that the blockage in his heart finally relaxed.
He would no longer think about Yun Chu’s eyes that were still staring at death, nor would he be uneasy and fearful anymore, nor would he be afraid of the injustice spirit coming to claim his life...
On the day of Yun Chu's funeral, Du Ling, the daughter of the Du family and the wife of the Ji family, came to pay her respects. She burst into tears: "Chu Chu, the Yun family's crime has been settled, and there is nothing I can do. I really can't do anything... You Don’t worry, I will collect the bodies of the Yun family for you, and I will definitely let the Yun family go away with dignity..."
The Xie family arranged for Yunchu's body to be returned to Jizhou and buried in the Xie family's ancestral grave.
Xie Shiyun knelt in front of Xie Jingyu and choked with sobs: "Father, let me send my mother back to Jizhou. I want to send my mother on her last journey."
Xie Jingyu frowned: "The provincial examination is about to take place. It takes too much time to come and go. If you miss the provincial examination, you will have to wait for another three years..."
"But if I don't send my mother off, I have no intention of taking the imperial examination." Xie Shiyun pleaded, "I will read carefully along the way and I will definitely live up to my father's expectations."
Yuanshi wiped away her tears and said, "Let Yuner go. There has to be a child to send Chuer to. It's hard for him to be filial."
Xie Jingyu thought for a moment and nodded: "Then go and come back quickly."
All the children of the Xie family are in the name of Yunchu. She returned to her hometown for burial. If she died without a son, it would inevitably attract gossip.
The matter was settled.
Tingyu, who was at Xie's house, heard that Xie Shiyun had sent Yun Chu back to Jizhou, and suddenly became very angry and fell ill.
There are less than ten days left before the provincial examination. After a round trip to Jizhou, five or six days have passed. How can I still have time to prepare...
Her Yun'er has devoted herself to studying since she was selected as a scholar. She is a good youngster. She will definitely be a candidate for the provincial examination this time. If she is delayed by the funeral, she will never forgive Yun Chu in her life...
However, in the blink of an eye, it was the night before the provincial examination, and Xie Shiyun still did not return to Beijing.
Ting Yu went crazy with anxiety and hurriedly went to find Xie Jingyu: "Sir, where is Brother Yun and the others? No matter how much we delay, we should go back to Beijing today. We have exams tomorrow morning..."
Xie Jingyu said solemnly: "The steward who accompanied him said that Xie Shiyun disappeared after Yunchu was buried in the Xie family's ancestral grave. These days, I have arranged for people to search for him, but there is no news yet."
"What do you mean missing? Why are you missing?" Tingyu's eyes widened, "Are those servants all trash? How could someone as big as the Third Young Master be lost?"
"He left on his own, not lost by a servant." Xie Jingyu said solemnly, "There's no point in being anxious. Just wait for the news first."
Just as he was talking, the housekeeper outside hurried in with a letter: "Sir, this is the letter sent by the classmate of the third young master just now."
Xie Jingyu was startled, opened the letter and took a look, and suddenly became furious: "How dare he become a monk! Is he crazy? He gave up his beautiful future and became a monk! If outsiders know that my Xie family has a monk, the Xie family will definitely He will become the biggest joke in the capital! A traitor! Why did I give birth to such a traitor!"
Tingyu grabbed the letter and immediately broke down and cried: "Yoon'er, my Yoona, why are you so confused... I don't blame you for Yun Chu's death, I don't blame you. It was your father and elder brother who forced you to do this. What does it have to do with you? Why do you blame yourself, why do you want to become a monk..."
She cried, her knees weakened and she knelt on the ground, looking at the empty sky and wailing, "Madam, you have always loved Yuner, please let Yuner go, don't let him ruin her life because of this... The master said, Yoona is very good at studying, and he will definitely become the number one scholar like his father's eldest brother. He has a great future, and he can't ruin it like this! As long as Madam lets Yoona go, I will let Yoona give Madam an education. Immortality card, light the eternal lamp..."
She kept kowtowing.
Xie Jingyu felt his scalp numb and raised his foot to kick Tingyu on the shoulder: "Shut up, don't talk nonsense!"
Tingyu cried so much that she fainted. When she woke up, she wanted to go find Xie Shiyun, but she fell ill again and lingered on the bed, causing her body to collapse all of a sudden.
A smile appeared on Mr. He's face, and he said to Xie Shiwei: "Although the Xie family has established a foothold in the capital and has become a new noble in the court, the Xie family is a poor family after all. The family background is too shallow. Once Xie Shiyun leaves, there will be less people." By dividing the family property, you and your eldest brother can also get more."
"It's just money, not worth mentioning." Xie Shiwei shook his head, "In this world, the power in your hands is much more important than money."
He sighed: "As long as the He family's case is reversed and my identity is restored, I can become the mistress of the Xie family, and your identities can be more glamorous. In the end, it's me who has dragged you down."
Although several children are recorded in the name of their legitimate mother and are nominally legitimate sons, everyone in the capital knows that these children are all sons of foreign wives.
A concubine is worse than a concubine... Fortunately, the children are excellent, Sister Ping entered the palace and became a beloved concubine, An Geer became a first-rank minister, but brother is now a third-rank general, and everything is getting better and better.
"We are really ready to start overturning the case for the He family." Xie Shiwei said slowly, "If the Minister of Dali Temple can't get enough help, then we can only start with Dali Cheng. He specializes in managing major case files. Let him rewrite it." It’s not difficult.”
He's eyes showed joy, and then he sighed: "How much money does it cost to smooth this relationship?"
The family spent more than 10,000 taels of silver on Yun Chu's funeral and various funeral utensils. She felt distressed just looking at it...
"No money will be needed this time." Xie Shiwei said with a smile on his face, "I'll discuss it with my eldest brother."
When he went to find Xie Shi'an, Xie Shi'an was sitting at his desk with a frown on his face, obviously distracted.
"Brother, what are you worried about?"
Xie Shi'an came back to his senses: "Nothing, why did you come to me?"
He was thinking about Song Yin. Ever since her mother was buried, Song Yin had never taken the initiative to say a word to him. She even started to separate from him on the grounds of poor health.
He was thinking about what went wrong.
Why did Song Yin change?
"Brother, that Dali Cheng from Dali Temple is lustful, let's start from this point." Xie Shiwei whispered, "Reverse the case of the He family as soon as possible, so that eldest brother's official career will be smoother."
Xie Shi'an nodded: "Then spend some money and buy a good girl as a gift."
"Brother, isn't this being narrow-minded?" Xie Shiwei said with a face of disapproval, "How much money can Dali Cheng, a good girl, afford? We have to show our sincerity. We must have sincerity to make people willing to rewrite the files."
Xie Shi'an's mind was still on Song Yin, and he didn't react for a moment: "You might as well be the first to say something."
"Xie Xian." Xie Shiwei said slowly, "She is too disobedient and dishonest. She is still making trouble after being locked up for so many days. If so, then find a good place for her so that she can be kicked out. The Xie family can show our sincerity to Dali Cheng and kill two birds with one stone, so why not?"
