lucky star girl

Chapter 167
Although the masters of the Xu family guessed that Xu Yanzhu had something to hide from them, they also knew that the most important thing now was Madam Jiang's funeral. They thought that they would visit Madam Jiang's funeral a few times in a fair manner, and they would always have the opportunity to investigate. Know exactly what's going on.

Therefore, there was no rush to investigate anything.

But they didn't know that because of their idea, many things happened in the future.

Although Dong Shu was anxious to find out what Xu Yanzhu was up to, she also knew that she couldn't be too obvious.

Because it was too obvious that Dong Shu was not good at what to do, Xu Yanzhu deliberately concealed it. After Mrs. Jiang's funeral was over, Dong Shu did not find out any news.

It was not the first time for Jiang's family to hold a funeral. Jiang Han's father passed away a few days ago, and Jiang Han also experienced it, so after Mrs. Jiang's funeral was arranged this time, it seemed that Jiang's servants were very capable.

Back and forth, the Jiang family was busy for a few days, and they finally buried Mrs. Jiang. No matter what Mrs. Jiang did before, now that she is dead, everything is buried with the loess.

But after Mrs. Jiang was buried, her funeral was not finished, and there were still three days, five days, seven days and a hundred days of worship.

After the Hundred Days of Worship, the Jiang family can really close their doors and observe their filial piety, but Jiang Han can't ignore the outside business.

Therefore, Xu Yanzhu is the only one who really needs to keep their filial piety behind closed doors in the Jiang family.

After Xu Yanzhu was reminded by Dong Shu that day, she claimed to be ill after Mrs. Jiang was buried. Her face, even if she was not lying, she knew it was not good.

Most of the Jiang family stayed at Jiang's house these days, and when her daughter was sick, she would definitely stay and take care of her.

"Your mother-in-law will pass away, Yan Lang's marriage will be postponed for half a year. This bit of face should be given to the Jiang family." The Jiang family felt unhappy when this matter was mentioned.

The Jiang family was her natal family, and now her sister-in-law died of illness, even if she was in a hurry to arrange the marriage for her son, it would be difficult to arrange it when her sister-in-law had just passed away.

Pushing back half a year, just waiting for the Jiang family's funeral to pass, can be regarded as saving face for her natal family.

Xu Yanzhu originally didn't want to keep her mother down to talk. Although Jiang Han took care of her mother-in-law's funeral, she was also distracted by it.

In addition, she had something on her mind, and she was worried all day long, and now she could close the door and rest for a while, but her mother stayed with her.

However, she still can't tell her mother is bad, after all, her mother only stayed because of her bad face.

"Mother, Yan Lang's marriage is subject to my grandmother and aunt, and it's fine to postpone it for half a year, as long as the Xu family has no objections." After saying this, Xu Yanzhu picked up the teacup in hand and took a sip of warm water , and then looked at her mother and continued: "It's just that the family is still observing filial piety now, and it's not good for you to stay in Jiang's house all day. The provincial grandmother thinks that you put Jiang's family above Xu's again."

Xu Yanzhu would never have said these things before, but recently she really wanted to take a good rest.

But her mother was at Jiang's house, and she would come to talk with her every day, and she couldn't avoid seeing her.

But every day she has to allocate energy to be with her mother, she really feels tired and flustered.

The Jiang family also knew that what Xu Yanzhu said was reasonable, but there was still a hint of displeasure in her heart, but she also understood that it was not a problem for her to stay in Jiang's house all the time.

"That mother will go home early tomorrow morning." After saying this, Jiang thought for a while, and finally looked at Xu Yanzhu and said, "Yanzhu, you and Jiang Han have been married for a year now, and your mother-in-law passed away. You will have to observe filial piety for another three years. After these three years, you will be in your twenties, what is your plan for this matter?"

Xu Yanzhu didn't expect her mother to talk to her suddenly.

But she also understood that her mother said this because she was worried about her.

"Mother, you should have understood these days. Jiang Han is now the head of the Jiang family. After three years, if Jiang Han wants a concubine, he can take as much as he wants." As for herself, Xu Yanzhu thought clearly, She must leave the Jiang family as soon as possible, even if she can't leave openly, even if she is suspended animation, she will leave.

Because Xu Yanzhu had already decided to leave, she didn't care what Jiang Han would do in the future.

But Xu Yanzhu didn't expect that as soon as she finished speaking, Jiang looked at her with a look of 'Why are you so worthless'.

Xu Yanzhu didn't have Jiang Han in her heart, so she didn't care about how many women Jiang Han would have in the future, because she felt that she would definitely find a way to leave within these three years.

But Jiang didn't think so.

Now that his elder brother and sister-in-law have passed away, it is his nephew who is in charge of the Jiang family.

Although Jiang thought he was very kind to this nephew, after all, this is his nephew, not his own son, so there must be a layer of separation.

But if the daughter can give birth to the eldest grandson of the Jiang family, with this relationship, they can continue to rely on the Jiang family in the future.

How could Xu Yanzhu not understand her mother's thoughts, but Xu Yanzhu didn't want to listen to her anymore.

"Mother, when I got married, I had already fulfilled your wish and repaid your kindness. It's better for you not to ask how I want to live in the future."

Xu Yanzhu finally said these words. If brother Yan didn't show up, then she wouldn't mind staying in Jiang's house and being a qualified housewife.

But now, she wants to live for herself.

Jiang Shi really didn't expect Xu Yanzhu to say such words. Although she knew that her daughter was divorced from her because of the marriage, she never thought that her daughter would say such words to herself.

Although the Jiang family favored her son, Xu Yanzhu was also born to her after all. Now that she listened to Xu Yanzhu's words, she felt her heart ache so badly that she didn't stay with Xu Yanzhu anymore, and turned around and left.

Watching Jiang's departure, Cuihua, who was serving on the side, stepped forward worriedly and said: "The eldest girl is not feeling well these days, why bother to be angry with her body."

No matter how many words there are, Cuihua is hard to say. Although she has only served Xu Yanzhu for more than a year, she still loves Xu Yanzhu from the bottom of her heart.

Xu Yanzhu also understood Cuihua's thoughts, raised her hand and patted the back of her hand, Xu Yanzhu said: "I know you love me, and originally planned to let you go back to Third Aunt during this time, but because you have to keep filial piety now , It’s not good to let you go back now.” After saying this, Xu Yanzhu thought for a while and continued: “It’s better to wait until after the hundred-day worship. By then, I must have recovered.”

"It's not urgent. My wife also sent a message to ask the servant to take care of the eldest girl." Although Cuihua also wanted to go back to Xu's house, she also knew that it was impossible for her to go back recently.

Although she doesn't know medicine, but looking at the face of the eldest girl, she also knows that she is not feeling well recently and needs to take good care of her.

Xu Yanzhu saw that Cuihua really wanted to stay and continue to take care of her for a while, so she didn't mention when to let her leave Jiang's house, but just deepened the reward originally given to Cuihua in her heart.

Here in the Jiang family, Xu Yanzhu obediently stayed in the yard to keep filial piety for her mother-in-law. The Xu family was also very busy during this time.

The Jiang family's funeral will naturally not affect the Xu family, but just a few days after the Jiang family's funeral, the matter of the bearded general and the long-faced general also came to fruition.

Although the long-faced general didn't kill anyone directly, his wife couldn't get rid of the crime of murder.

The most important thing is that the long-faced general violated the military regulations and left the barracks during the confrontation contest. According to Xu Shiqiu's setting, although this confrontation contest is just a contest, it must be treated as a real battlefield.

If this is really on the battlefield, actions like the two of them will definitely be judged as spies.

Because the party who wanted to severely punish the two of them recognized this, the punishment for them by the court should not be too lenient.

But at this moment, the wife of the bearded general sued her husband with a large pile of ledgers.

These ledgers not only contain the records of the bearded generals withholding the soldiers' salaries over the years, but also the records of the bearded generals giving bribes to their superiors.

I don't know what kind of temperament this bearded general is. In this account book, there are also records that he used money to go to the flower house, and he embezzled part of his wife's dowry.

The bearded lady knelt in the lobby, crying and saying that there was nothing she could do about the domineering reputation she had spread outside these years, otherwise she would not be able to protect her last dowry and two children.

Mrs. Beard's hand really shocked many people. She knelt in the lobby, not only talking about the many wrong things that Mrs. Beard had done in recent years, but also said that Mrs. Beard likes to drink and will beat people after drinking matter.

After a few women selected by the common people brought the bearded woman into the inner hall and checked the wounds on her body, the world understood what she had sued her husband.

With such a husband at the booth, it's no wonder that this woman would kill her relatives righteously.

Yes, in the end the imperial court defined this woman as 'destroy relatives with righteousness', and it was a plaque written by the Holy Father himself.

With this plaque, the bearded wife happily reconciled with the convicted bearded wife, and disappeared completely in the capital with her eldest daughter and youngest son and the dowry liquidated by the court.

After Dong Shu learned about these things at home, the more she thought about it, the more something went wrong. She always felt that her husband's handwriting was involved in this matter.

But before she could ask Xu Shiqiu, the imperial court rewarded Xu Shiqiu for this confrontation.

Emperor Ruikang allowed Xu Shiqiu to lead his troops out to suppress the bandits. Only half of the proceeds from the suppression of the bandits had to be handed over to the imperial court, and Xu Shiqiu would handle the remaining half by himself.

And the bandits that Xu Shiqiu was going to exterminate were the Datong horse bandits who had trapped Yan Ye for a long time.

Knowing that Xu Shiqiu was going to leave Beijing, Dong Shu naturally suppressed her doubts and began busy preparing for Xu Shiqiu's departure from Beijing.

Although she knew that Xianggong would have such a day sooner or later as a military general, but when it really happened, Dong Shu was still worried.

Just as Dong Shu was worried, at the beginning of September, Xu Shiqiu organized the soldiers and took them away from the capital.
