To Hold One’s Joy

Chapter 426: self-inflicted

  Chapter 426 To blame

  The results of the trial were soon presented to Emperor Yong'an.

  Emperor Yong'an was in a good mood day by day, when such a bad thing happened suddenly, he was very angry.

   Doesn't this make him happy?

   With a wave of the imperial pen, the treatment of the Marquis of Changchun was quickly settled: take away the title and distribute the frontier.

  The property of the Hou Mansion first filled the shortfall in the dowry of Princess Huayang, and it went to the eldest daughter Xu Fang, and the remaining property went to the treasury.

  The second wife Yang's conduct was bad, and he was punished for several crimes, and he was charged as the Jiaofang Secretary.

  As for the three children of the Yang family, because the marquis of Changchun committed the crime of killing his wife, the disaster was not as serious as the children, but they were reduced to common people.

   According to the decree, when Marquis Changchun, who was imprisoned in the cell, was pushed out, he met Yang who was pushed out from another cell.

   When the former couple met, they were like enemies, and they were extremely jealous.

   "Bitch, you caused me to lose my title, what good is it to you!" Changchun Hou Hong roared with eyes.

  Mr. Yang looked at Marquis Changchun coldly, but didn't speak.

   "Tell me! Now that my title is gone, and you are also charged as the Jiaofang Secretary, what good can Nan'er and the others get?" Changchun Marquis struggled and rushed towards Yang.

   This is something he can't figure out.

  Yang's becoming a concubine is not as good as before, but doesn't she think about her three children?

   Pulling him to death together, this is something only a lunatic can do.

  Mr. Yang spoke up: "My cousin is still Marquis of Changchun, and Nan'er and the others are even worse."

  Now Nan'er and the others still have their lives, but if my cousin is in front of his Marquis of Changchun, under the persecution of Xu Fang, he might kill Nan'er and the others.

  Cousin can do it.

  Princess Huayang is the first wife of my cousin, who gave birth to a pair of children for him, and she was smothered to death once her interests were threatened.

  Cousin even tried to kill Xu Fang several times.

  Seeing it, she used to not feel afraid, and even felt happy, but when it was her turn, she was trembling with fear.

  I was so scared that I would rather drag this man to die together, as long as the lives of the children were saved.

   Madness surged in Yang's red eyes.

   Months of uninterrupted intake of drugs had paralyzed her mind and left her on the verge of madness, stuck in a corner and unable to get out.

  The Marquis of Changchun felt that Yang was talking nonsense, and asked in disbelief, "Are you crazy, Nan'er and the others are reduced to common people now, what good have they gained?"

  I knew that this crazy woman had messed things up, and if I divorced her, I should have killed her.

  The Marquis of Changchun felt regretful again.

  After many years of husband and wife, Yang knew the man in front of her very well. The flash of killing intent in Changchun Hou's eyes stimulated her extremely sensitive nerves.

  Yang laughed wildly: "That's better than losing your life! I know it all. If you want to send Nan'er and the others back to their hometown, the next step is to kill them, right?"

  Marquis of Changchun was taken aback: "What are you sending back to your hometown, what nonsense are you talking about?"

   "You're still pretending!" Yang raised her hand to grab Changchun Hou's face.

  Just now, Changchun Hou struggled and rushed over, and the distance between the two of them got closer, when he heard a stabbing sound, a bloodstain was scratched on Changchun Hou's face.

  The Marquis of Changchun let out a scream, and stretched out his hand to slap Mrs. Yang.

  The yamen servant held Changchun Hou firmly, and warned: "Don't mess around!"

  The Marquis of Changchun couldn't help but glared at Yang angrily: "What are you talking about? When am I going to send Nan'er and the others away?"

   "It's that **** Xu Fang, she forced you with a dowry—"

The Marquis of Changchun became more and more at a loss: "What crazy words are you talking about? That wicked girl asked about the dowry left by her mother, but how could she do something to force me to send Nan'er and the others away? She is the daughter-in-law of the general's mansion, so Don't be afraid of being poked in the back, and won't be able to gain a foothold in your in-law's house?"

  Mr. Yang was quiet for a moment, staring at Marquis Changchun.

   "Where did you hear the rumors, you stupid woman, it's a madman—"

   At this time, Yang's chaotic mind seemed to be split by lightning, and he regained instant clarity.

  Her expression froze on her face, but she finally realized in her heart: She fell into a trap!

  Never sent Nan'er and the others back to their hometown. Let her hear this just to let her drag her cousin into the water.

  She did so, her cousin lost his title, and the children became ordinary people who lost their parents' protection.

   It was Xu Fang, it must be a trap set by Xu Fang to avenge her mother.

  But she fell for it!

   "Ah—" the string called reason in Yang's brain was completely broken, and he let out a shrill cry.

  Mr. Yang went completely insane. It was rumored that she went insane when she heard that she was going to be in Jiaofang and couldn't bear the blow.

   It is said that Yang has been thinking about killing Miss Xu.

  People sighed and sympathized with what happened to the sons and daughters left by Princess Huayang, and at the same time expressed their joy at Yang's fate.

  Of course, Changchunhou's fate is even more gratifying.

   Assignment to the frontier is almost waiting to die, maybe you will die on the road if you can't reach the place.

   After raiding the Marquis of Changchun, he reported the situation to Emperor Yong'an, and Emperor Yong'an became angry again.

  He also thought that by copying the treasury of the Changchun Houfu, he could make some money. As a result, all the properties of the Changchun Houfu could not make up for the shortfall in the dowry of Princess Huayang.

  This is too poor!

   No, this shows that the Marquis of Changchun has been relying on the dowry left by Princess Huayang all these years, and his face is too ugly.

  Emperor Yong'an was angry, and added another punishment: Xu Nan, the second son of Marquis Changchun, and Xu Dong, the third son, were not allowed to be officials within three generations.

  The news reached Xu Fang's ears, Xu Fang burst into tears, changed into the clothes she went out and went to a wine shop.

  The jujube trees in front of a wine shop had almost eaten up the dates that were eaten by the people who entered and left the wine shop, leaving only sparse red dates hidden among the branches and leaves.

   During the day, the wine shop is quiet and leisurely, only the sound of chopping firewood has not stopped.

  Xu Fang was led into the backyard by Hongdou, and saw Luo Sheng standing beside the persimmon tree, and her younger brother who focused on chopping firewood.

  Xu Fang stopped for a moment and walked over.

   "Miss Luo, I'm here to thank you today." Xu Fang looked at the girl with calm eyebrows, feeling extremely excited.

  That day, when she heard that her stepmother had been divorced, Miss Luo told her that everything had just begun, and she couldn't believe it.

  And everything that happened now told her that it was really just the beginning.

  The fate of her father and stepmother was even more gratifying than she could have imagined, and it was a result she could never dream of.

   And all this is thanks to Miss Luo.

  Xu Fang looked at Luo Sheng, tears streaming down her face.

   The sound of chopping wood stopped.

  Xu Qi held an ax and looked at Xu Fang in surprise.

  Why is the eldest sister crying to Miss Luo?

   "Don't cry, the future will be a good day." Luo Sheng smiled and comforted.

  Xu Fang came back to her senses, hurriedly wiped away her tears, and shouted to Xu Qi: "Brother, come here."

  Xu Qi walked over honestly: "Sister, what's the matter? I haven't finished chopping firewood for today."

   "Kneel down and kowtow to Miss Luo."

  Xu Qi was taken aback for a moment, but knelt down very obediently.

  Luo Sheng pulled him up, and bent his lips in satisfaction seeing the young man who was already a head taller than her.

   Wei Han stepped into the courtyard and raised his eyebrows slightly.
