Chapter 99

Less than ten days later, Mrs. Su died of illness.Du Zhi'an, you are cruel!Mrs. Tai was disappointed, but she was glad: Unlike the Tan family and the Su family, which have no names and no surnames, the Marquis of Lu'an and the Duke of Jin's mansion are all illustrious sons of the prince's mansion, so it is easy to clean up the Su family. , to deal with yourself, hmph, that would be difficult!

In fact, Mrs. Tai was wrong, Mrs. Su really died of illness.Du Zhi'an had evidence that Tan Duan accepted a bribe of 200 taels of silver, which meant that he was sure of winning: the iron law set by the Emperor Taizu, those who accepted bribes of more than 100 taels of silver, died!Many civil servants were killed at the beginning of the founding of the country, mostly because of corruption and bribery.Later, although the imperial court did not pay much attention to corruption and bribery, the regulations did not change. As long as the evidence was spread out, Tan Duan would die.

How could Mrs. Su watch her only son die?In front of the head of the Tan family and his own brother, he admitted everything, "Yes, I was greedy for A Ying's dowry, and I hated A Ying! So I knew that the wife of the Marquis of Lu'an was corrupt, but I never did it for A Ying. Make the decision, but follow Mrs. Tai to accuse her of immorality."

The white-haired old patriarch was so angry that he almost turned his back. Is this the daughter-in-law of the Tan family?This is the enemy of the Tan family!Others with a foreign surname poured dirty water on the head of the Tan family's daughter, and she not only refused to stop it, but even helped the evildoer! "You have lost all face of the Tan family!" The old patriarch pointed at the Su family tremblingly and cursed.

Su's elder brother, Su Qing, was ashamed, "Little sister, are you crazy? How did you do such a thing?" No matter how indifferent your stepdaughter is, you can't join others in accusing her of being unruly. This will hurt your family's face. !
Mrs. Su looked at Su Qing coldly, "Am I crazy? You're right! I'm a good boudoir daughter, who is not good to marry, and you gave me to the Tan family to fill in the house!" The wife in front of him was The daughter of the chief assistant is elegant and noble, no matter how virtuous she is in this house, she can't be surpassed.

Uncle Tan lost his wife and son in his middle age, and he was alone in his later years; the old wife of Tan Ge left behind a daughter, who gave birth to Tan Duan after the Su family came in.She thought that Tan Duan was the most precious member of the Tan family, the only child with two wives, shouldn't this be cherished like eyeballs?However, Mr. Tange valued the eldest daughter, and taught her carefully, and did not spoil his only son too much.So, Su was dissatisfied.

It wasn't until Tan Ying grew up that she began to talk about marriage, and the Su family was ordered by Elder Tan Ge to arrange for Tan Ying's dowry, and then suddenly discovered that the Tan family was not rich.The shop on Dingfu Avenue, the good farmland in the suburbs of Beijing, and the countless gold and silver jewellery, all of which were dowries from the original wife, Mrs. Du, all had to be taken away by Tan Ying. "Isn't Duan'er my sister's son?" Su Shi felt unwilling, and entangled with Tang Ge, "You can't give all of your sister's dowry to your daughter, and don't leave half of it to your son!"

Tang Ge always ignored her, "Du's dowry was originally agreed with Du's family, and it will all be given to Ah Ying." The agreed thing can't be changed.Besides, Duan'er is a son, so he should earn his own money.Aying is from a girl's family, and she can't be an official and can't show her face in public. She has no legs like a crab, so she should bring more dowry with her.

Su Shi was angry.Watching her husband write down Tan Ying's dowry list with his own hand, her heart skipped a beat every time Mr. Tange wrote.That'smine!That's my son's!Since Mrs. Du married into the Tan family, it can't be said that the dowry belongs to her alone, it should belong to the Tan family!My son is the only male in the Tan family, so why not want her dowry?
But Mrs. Su has nothing to do with Tange Lao, so she can only look at the ocean and sigh.Mr. Tange picked and chose to speak for Tan Ying, and he could almost make a decision on the son of the Marquis of Lu'an, but before he could make a decision, Mr. Tange died of a sudden illness.

Su Clan was sad on one side, and a little happy on the other.I am sad because I lost my husband, and I lost the person who sheltered me from the wind and rain; fortunately, no one is in charge of me since then, and the Tan family's family business has all belonged to me!Of course, the Tan family's family business also includes Mrs. Du's dowry.

A few days after Su's holding a pile of gold and silver treasures, Du Rushan came to the door. "Trouble Madam." Du Rushan politely took out Elder Tang's suicide note, which clearly stated: Du's dowry will be kept by Du Rushan, and it will be used as a dowry on the day Tan Ying leaves the cabinet.

The treasure was gained but lost again, and Su Shi was about to go crazy.When Tan Ying came out of the pavilion, seeing the dowry wrapped in bright red veil carried out of the Tan family one after another, Su's heart ached so much that tears flowed all over her face.

"I don't know what happened to my sister in Fu's house." Tan Duan occasionally thought of Tan Ying, and Su Shi said angrily, "Your sister is a wolf! She took away all the property of the Tan family, and didn't give it to your brother!"

Tan Duan was stunned, "Father told me in the suicide note, uncle showed me the suicide note..." The uncle he was talking about was Du Rushan.

Mrs. Su snorted, "Your father is biased!" He only cared about the daughter left by his original partner, so why not think about Tan Duan, the only child?

Over time, Tan Duan also decided that: his father favored his sister and let her take away all the family's belongings, and his mother and son would have to live in poverty.The elder sister has no sister-brother relationship, and regardless of her own younger brother, she really took away most of the Tan family's property.Father is eccentric, sister is greedy.

Therefore, when the Su family and Tan Duan's mother and son were invited by the Lu'an Hou Mansion, in front of them was the defiled Tan Ying and the smugly smiling Mrs. Liu'an Hou Mansion.Mrs. Tai smiled and said, "Don't ruin the relationship between our two families because of Tan's unscrupulous wife! After today's business is over, all her dowry will be returned to your house, and Madam will dispose of it."

Not only Su's heart was moved, but Tan Duan was also moved.The mother and son whispered for a moment, then each nodded.Su's long-cherished wish was fulfilled, and she was full of joy; Tan Duan was thinking, "Anyway, my sister is greedy and doesn't care about me, so I don't care about her either."

In fact, both mother and son are ruthless enough, but things have changed, Tan Duan just complained about Su Shi: It's all your fault!We are good siblings, if you hadn't been provoking us every day, how could we be like this?If you told me that my sister took away the dowry from my own mother, why would I be unconvinced?You just kept saying that your sister took away the Tan family's belongings!
The son blamed his mother, the younger sister blamed his brother, and the hall of the Tan family was in chaos.Su Qing let out a long sigh and stood up, "The Su family has such a daughter, the family is unfortunate, the family is unfortunate! I don't have the face to say anything, let the Tan family deal with it." The younger sister is old and has a son. How can not kill her.

Su's eyes turned red, "You ungrateful!" After marrying into the Tan family, Mr. Tang Ge's official career went smoothly. How much did he help the Su family in those years?My nephew wants to take the imperial examination, and my younger brother wants to choose an official. What thing have I not done my best?It's a good time now, my natal family pushed me cleanly, and left my own sister behind!

Su Qing sighed again and again, not daring to look at Mrs. Su, and ran away quickly.Su Shi was even more angry, this anger was no small matter, and she passed out.

Du Zhi'an smiled slightly, and ordered "please come in, doctor." He came with the doctor.Tan Duan glanced at him secretly, seeing that his expression was indifferent, his heart became more and more uncertain.The Su family is also considered his elder, will he be lenient?
The doctor came in and took the pulse, "It's nothing, I'm short of breath." He took out a silver needle and pricked it for a few times, Su woke up slowly. "I regret it, I really regret it." Su Shi shed tears, "My bowels are almost turning green."

The white silk had already been wrapped around Tan Ying's neck, and just as the work was about to be completed, Uncle Tan stumbled over. "Uncle, you have a copy of my dowry list. If I die, please take back the dowry and donate it all to Tan Family School." Once Tan Ying said this, things changed completely.My mother and son didn't dare to stick with Mrs. Fu's wife anymore, and watched Tan Ying escape from Lu'anhou Mansion with Uncle Tan.

Afterwards, although they reported Tan Ying's "death of illness" together with Mrs. Fu's wife, and even approved Fu Shen's "chongxi" marriage as her natal family, she still didn't get all of Tan Ying's dowry.Mrs. Fu's wife did not give Tan Ying's gold, jade and jewelry from the shop on Dingfu Street.

"Thousands of acres of fertile land are enough for the wife, mother and son to live on." Mrs. Tai smiled and said, "The young dog lost his wife, so I will leave these shops and jewels for him to think about."

It's really worthless to betray Tan Ying without getting all the dowry.Su Shi thought bitterly, "Why didn't you cut the mess quickly and get rid of Tan Ying early? If she died early, it would be useless if Uncle Tan came!" Regret, regret, why didn't we do it earlier?Su murmured to himself, after a few days, the medicine stone became useless and went away.

Du Zhi'an handed the evidence of bribery to Tan Duan with a smile, "My condolences." No matter how hateful the person in front of him was, he was Ah Ying's half-brother.Uncle has only one son, let's keep it.

Tan Duan hurriedly took the evidence in his hand, looked at it carefully, and then threw it into the fire and burned it. "Big cousin, my mother died of illness, she died of illness." Tan Duan bowed his head and said to Du Zhi'an.

How could my uncle have such a son, how could Ah Ying have such a younger brother?Du Zhian shook his head and left in a hurry.

The Duke of Jin's family has a great business and a large population, so it is inevitable that there will be a few dudes.This month, by coincidence, seven or eight of the sons of the Duke of Jin were impeached by the censor. It's not a big deal, but one after another, without stopping.

Duke Lan Zhong of the State of Jin was summoned to the palace that day, and the emperor himself gave him a lecture, "Qing must restrain his nephew and nephew, and don't do anything wrong." As an emperor, I am cautious. Your mansion is comfortable, nephew. Have nothing to do when you have nothing to do, rob people's daughters and occupy people's fields? "If there is another crime, it will be severely punished!"

Lan Zhong retreated from Qinzheng Hall dripping with sweat, and shivered involuntarily when the cold wind blew.Who is going to make things difficult for Duke Jin's mansion?Who did the Duke of Jin offend?

Lu'an Marquis Mansion.Mrs. Tai sneered, what's the use of impeaching the Duke of Jin, am I afraid of this?The Duke of Jin's mansion is deeply rooted and leafy, what can you do if you impeach him several times? "This Du Zhi'an is really ignorant." Mrs. Tai said contemptuously.

Fu Shen looked ashamed, "Mother, we did something wrong in the first place. Big cousin is very fair, why don't we confess our mistakes to him and make amends..."

"Shut up!" Mrs. Tai was furious, admitting her mistake and apologizing?You might as well kill me! "Get out of here, out of my eyes!"

Fu Shen obediently got out, and didn't return to Liu'an Hou Mansion that night.The next day, Fu Shen was ordered to go to Xishan Camp to train troops, and he didn't return to the city for several days.Mrs. Tai couldn't catch Fu Shen, so she vented her anger on the people around her. The maids all held their breath, not daring to breathe, and served carefully.

Mrs. Tai waited and waited again and again, but she did not wait for Fu Shen to come back.What she waited for was an invitation from the patriarch.
