Chapter 224: The aunt who no longer forces her eldest son to make progress

Three days later, King Ding ascended the throne. Except for the liquidation of several dignitaries closely related to King Huai, Kyoto quickly returned to normal.

King Huai murdered the late emperor and committed suicide in prison. Concubine De followed him closely. Everyone else in the palace was demoted to civilians and imprisoned. They were not allowed to leave the palace in this life.

However, except for the princess, her grandfather was a veteran of the three dynasties, and he did not know about King Huai's conspiracy. The new emperor ordered to make peace with King Huai, and Royal Jade Butterfly removed his name.

Originally, Zhou Ying was also to be executed, but she was still pregnant with a fetus. The new emperor did not want to commit more crimes, so he spared her the death penalty and punished her to recite sutras, eat vegetarian food, sleep on wattle cloth, and step on thorn shoes for the rest of her life.

After dealing with the people in Prince Huai's Mansion, the new emperor began to liquidate those who had taken refuge in Prince Huai. Those who did not make serious mistakes were mostly demoted and demoted. Those who made serious mistakes, such as the Liu family who donated the secret medicine, all adult men were beheaded. Women, children, and children were demoted to the status of slaves, and their descendants were slaves for generations.

Later, Liu Fangniang and Zhou Shuqing, according to their crimes, should also be beheaded, but whether it was the queen's bad taste or the knowledge of their grudges with Song Xia, they were both demoted to slaves and sent to the song studio as slaves.

As for Zhou Yongli, he was sentenced to life in prison for murdering his eldest brother. This dynasty did not support criminals. People like him had to go to Xishan to cut stones and work.

After Zhou Shuqing was demoted as a slave, Wu Chunying was in panic in the palace all day long. Seeing that the court did not deal with it, Song Xia took the initiative to let her reconcile with Zhou Shuqing. Wu Chunying was grateful, but her father was demoted to another place, so she finally took a sum of money to live in the house. Living in the suburbs of Beijing, Song Xia later heard that she married a farmer and bought a lot of land with the money she gave her when she left the house. Although her life was not as good as before, it was still stable.

The huge Zhou Mansion became quiet, but now it is no longer called Zhou Mansion, but is called the County Lord's Mansion.

Aunt Gao and Aunt Meng are still living in the original yard, either teasing Sister Lin or coming to say hello to Song Xia. From time to time, they also do some sewing work for Song Xia and Zhou Yuqing to express their gratitude.

Song Xia sat on a stool two meters away, covered her nose in disgust, and watched the declining old lady kindly inform her of the information about Zhou Yongli and others.

"Originally, you also had to be dealt with, but you couldn't move. Those officials were afraid of getting their hands dirty, so they kept you in the house. Old lady, did you expect this situation today?"

The old lady stared at Song Xia with her turbid eyes. She raised her right hand feebly and then dropped it hard.

"It's not yours, and it will be returned eventually. All the adult men in the Liu family have been beheaded. None of your brothers and sisters are left, and the rest have all been sent as slaves. From now on, you no longer have to think about subsidizing them.

"Sister Ying did not die, but she was tortured all day long. Everyone in the palace blamed her for harming King Huai, and they all targeted her. The poor baby in her belly was also sick when she was born, but His Majesty ordered that they are now dead. He is a commoner, so he is not qualified to call for an imperial doctor. If he is targeted like that in the palace in the future, I don’t know how long he can survive.”

Zhou Ying, Song Xia once went to see her. She was having a hard time and was being targeted, but she couldn't die. After all, if she was really dead, there would be no one to take care of the child.

What a retribution. Her parents once harmed Yu Qing like that, and now her child does the same. It's a pity for the innocent child.

"There are also Liu Fangniang and Zhou Shuqing. They were sold into the singing studio as slaves. You know the singing studio. Liu Fangniang is an old lady, but no one is interested. I feel sorry for Brother Shu..."

Song Xia paused deliberately when she said this. Seeing that the old lady shed tears again, she curled her lips and smiled.

"I see you are anxious, but who told Brother Shu to be born so well? Before, Mr. Zhou was famous. As you know in Kyoto, there are always some children of powerful people with some quirks, especially before Brother Shu. My classmate especially likes to order books to serve." The old lady couldn't even say "ah" after hearing this. If the tears weren't still flowing, Song Xia would have thought she was gone.

"Don't worry, I haven't told you the news about Zhou Yongli yet!"

Seeing that the old lady made some movements again, Song Xia continued: "Your good son Zhou Yongli is not as aggrieved as them, but he was sent to Xishan to quarry stone. You know Xishan, how many criminals die there every year, but I have taken care of him and at least given him enough food to prevent him from dying easily."

After saying this, Song Xia sighed with emotion: "Do you know why I am so cruel? Because I was reborn, and your goal in the previous life was really achieved. Yuqing died, and I followed him. Liu Fangniang was righted, Zhou Ying She didn’t marry King Huai, but she became the wife of the Marquis of Yong’an. Zhou Shuqing also passed the entrance examination and has a bright future. You will also have a happy life. My father and brother have been kept in the dark, and they thought I was too willful and killed them. He killed Yu Qing and finally helped Zhou Yongli in the court."

After hearing what she said, the old lady seemed to remember it, her eyes glowed, and then looking at her sneer, she wanted to get up and kill someone.

"Now it's all just tit for tat."

At the same time, Zhou Ying seemed to have felt something, and shouted loudly: "I am not the concubine of King Huai, I am the wife of Yong'an Hou Shizi, let me out, you let me out."

"It's really crazy. I want to give you the wife of Crown Prince Yong'an. Prince Prince Yong'an has already married a wife."

"If it is true that she is not the concubine of King Huai, we don't have to suffer from her."

"Stay away from this crazy woman, lest something happens to her child and she ends up going crazy and biting someone."

Zhou Ying sat on the ground crying and laughing. She remembered. She remembered everything. It shouldn't be like this. They should have succeeded.

She didn't come back to her senses until the child in her arms was so frightened that she kept crying.

There was something wrong with that node. Song Xia must have known what happened in her previous life before she did.

God, why do you favor Song Xia?Is everything we do wrong?But in this world, who doesn’t fight for his own interests?
On the other side, Zhou Shuqing, like Zhou Ying, suddenly shouted that he was Tan Hua Lang when he was waiting for people to drink. Those people also had a bad taste, so they immediately asked him to play the role.

One night later, Zhou Shuqing was thrown into the woodshed like a dead fish. Liu Fangniang held her son and cried bitterly. She knew she was wrong. She should not have competed with Song Xia for Yonglang. If she and the children were more respectful to Song Xia, if If she doesn't have unrealistic ideas, can they still live a stable life?After all, Song Xia ignored them before finding out the truth.

Although we were not the main wife at that time, what did we not want?But now everything is ruined, Brother Shu's pride has been destroyed, he has no support, and Sister Ying still doesn't know what it is like in Prince Huai's Mansion.

Why did she compete with Song Xia before?Song Xia was a high-ranking county lord and the daughter of Prince Cheng. Why couldn't she recognize her status in the first place?

Yonglang, Yonglang, it’s you who have fed our appetite. You are obviously the culprit! (End of chapter)
