Don't be too sweet

Chapter 1657 A lot of pressure ([-])
Chapter 1657 A lot of pressure ([-])

Everyone in the family knew that about Zhang Qiaoshou's illness, it was purely Zhang Qiaoshou's act of killing himself, but it brought the whole family down.

It's just that everyone subconsciously avoided this topic.

He Shanshan could actually stand up and say a few words for her mother. After all, Zhang Qiaoshou never thought of implicating her family, and she had no intention of speaking, but she felt that her mother should bear the consequences.

He Leiluo and He Shanshan went back to Yang's house together, took a wooden box of masks made in recent days and left.

The wooden box was not particularly big, it was about the same size as the medicine box carried by the old doctor Shang.

Back at Yang's house, He Shanshan and Yang Jiu acted independently.

"I'm going to weave some more cloth," He Shanshan turned and left while speaking.

Yang Jiu looked at He Shanshan, knowing that she was having a hard time, so she silently kept a distance and followed her.

In the room where the loom was kept—

He Shanshan sat in front of the loom, thinking of all the things that happened today, her eyes were sore and astringent, and tears fell silently.

Before, she couldn't shed tears in front of her family members. She had to maintain a calm appearance so that the family members could feel at ease, but now...

She thinks it's okay to shed tears occasionally, the important thing is to relieve the pressure in her heart.

Yang Jiu found out, entered the weaving room silently, stood behind He Shanshan, and silently accompanied her.

He Shanshan turned her head as if feeling something, and raised her head to meet Yang Jiu's eyes with tears in her eyes.

Yang Jiu bent down, stretched out her hand, and embraced He Shanshan in her arms.

"Feel a lot of pressure?" Yang Jiu asked softly.

In fact, there is no need to ask, it is also the case.

He Shanshan simply threw herself into Yang Jiu's arms, hugged the person in her arms tightly, and rubbed her face against each other's arms.

"Everything will be fine," He Shanshan murmured into Yang Jiu's arms.

She said so, and believed it.

Yang Jiu didn't speak, it's meaningless to say words of comfort at this time, the choice he made was to be with you.

This afternoon——

The latest news about the new emperor reached Yang Jiu.

He even considered whether to let He Shanshan know, after all...the pressure on his daughter-in-law is so great, the news of the new emperor is simply to continue to increase the pressure on her.

When He Shanshan saw that her husband Feiying had received the letter, she knew there must be something wrong. The biggest problem now was the Xinhuang's plan to confiscate the house and the plague.

"I want to know," He Shanshan pursed her lips.

Instead of living innocently without knowing anything, she should live clearly.

Yang Jiu was helpless, and handed the note brought by Feiying to He Shanshan.

The content of the note is that a wealthy family in the south has been ransacked on the charge of Luo Zhi, and nearly [-] million taels of silver have been confiscated and are being transported back to the treasury of Shangjing.

He Shanshan: "!"

At this moment she felt that it was difficult for her to breathe.

When she heard Yang Jiu say that the new emperor planned to use the house raids to fill the national treasury, she still felt it was untrue, but now... the real news is in her hands.

"Your husband and I can do these things," Yang Jiu said.

"I... Didn't push the incumbent... to the position back then, would the situation be different?" He Shanshan forced the words out of her throat.

"There are many such things, but it's just the difference between beautiful and ugly," Yang Jiu shook his head, as if he was used to it.

"..."

He Shanshan: "..." She has a sense of unreality. The history books she read in her previous life also included copying of the house, which is completely different from the concept of copying the house that is accepted now.

"If they know that if they become the richest man in the country, they will end up having their homes confiscated, why are they trying to become the richest man?" He Shanshan murmured.
