Chapter 121 Long live my emperor (8)
Tian went over and sat down, and the maid who followed her placed the soup bowl on the table and then left silently.
Tian served each of them half a bowl of soup and said to Nan Yue, "Niang Yue, try it quickly. How does it taste?"
Nan Yue picked up the bowl and blew on it, then took a small sip from the edge of the bowl. The chicken soup had been simmered for a long time, and the first sip warmed her stomach.
"It tastes delicious. Is it made by your mother?"
Tian smiled and said, "I haven't cooked for a long time, and I'm afraid my cooking skills are a little rusty. I'm glad you like it, Yue Niang. Drink more."
Tian felt guilty about her daughter's absence, and her tone of voice when speaking to her was always slightly flattering.
Seeing that his mother cared so much about his sister, Chu Yu was not to be outdone. He picked up a piece of his favorite steamed fish for Nan Yue with chopsticks. The fish was from the belly, which was fresh and tender with few bones.
"Sister, this is delicious."
It’s good not to eat with other people in the Marquis’ Mansion. You can say whatever you want to say and help whoever you want to pick up food.
Chu Yu felt that this was the most comfortable meal he had had in the Marquis' Mansion in all these years.
He picked up the remaining fish belly with his chopsticks and gave it to Tian, "Mother, have some too."
"Okay, okay." Tian smiled, but her eyes were a little red.
The more sensible Liu Lang was, the more heartbroken she felt.
Her Liu Lang was only fourteen, at the peak of his vigor and vitality, but he was going to die. She didn't even dare to imagine how he would die...
Even if you are lucky enough not to be robbed and killed by bandits, going to Qi County is like stepping into hell.
He will be tortured to death!
She also found out a lot about what happened back then. Yang Su was framed by the Marquis of Yongding and sent to Qi County to be a small county magistrate!
If Yang Su had not been afraid of the Prince of Xiqing breaking through from Qi County, he would probably have stayed in that remote place for the rest of his life, until he died of old age, and would never be able to turn things around!
Destroying someone's future and wealth is like killing his parents. Yang Su must have hated the Marquis of Yongding so much that how could he let the Marquis of Yongding go?
Even though Liu Lang is not the eldest son.
Tian turned her head and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeve, her heart filled with unspeakable grief.
Nan Yue lowered her eyes, but still did not express her plan.
It's not that she is cruel and wants to see Tian sad, but this matter is too troublesome to talk about, and it involves Crown Prince Yan. If she tells it from beginning to end, it will make them think too much.
Anyway, the news will come tomorrow, and then we can just follow Liu Lang.
If it weren't for Yuchi Yan, Nan Yue could actually leave, but it would be a bit troublesome.
Now that you have the jade pendant, you might as well use it, and avoid any future entanglements.
Tian suppressed her emotions and said to Chu Yu, "Sixth Brother, the Yuan family returned the token today..."
Chu Yu didn't even raise his eyes, and said nonchalantly: "If you want to withdraw, then withdraw."
Just two days after Chu Dalang got married at the beginning of the year, the Yuan family saw that the Marquis' Mansion was in its heyday, so they came over and arranged an engagement with Chu Liulang, and they only waited a few years to get married.
Unexpectedly, not long after, Marquis Yongding died, and the marquis's mansion fell into decline.
Now Chu Liulang has been sent to Qi County by Emperor Ning. Anyone with any brains would not marry into the Marquis's Mansion again. Besides, they cannot let such a good girl become a widow before she even gets married.
"Well, if the Yuan family didn't come, I was thinking about talking to the old lady about this." Tian didn't think that the Yuan family was heartless. As a parent, she could understand the Yuan family's feelings.
If it were for Yue Niang, she would do the same.
Tian never mentioned those unhappy things again, and cherished the last time she spent with her son...
……
A peaceful night passed like this.
Early the next morning.
Someone came from the palace to deliver the imperial edict, saying that Chu Liulang was young and the emperor was merciful and sympathetic to the pain of separation from his family.
The wife of Marquis Yongding and the fourth lady Chu Yue were sent to Qi County together.
Upon hearing the news, everyone in the Marquis' Mansion was shocked.
When the old lady and Chu Rui heard the first part, they thought that the emperor wanted to change it back, but they were relieved at the end.
It doesn’t matter whether Tian and Chu Yue go or not, as long as Chu Dalang is safe, he is the future of the Marquis’ Mansion.
The others looked at each other in bewilderment. Is this really kindness, considering the pain of separation from loved ones?
Tian and Chu Yue are both weak women. Can they endure the hardships along the way? Moreover, the entire transport team is made up of men. Will Chu Yue's reputation still be remembered in the future? Can she still marry a man of her dreams?
The transportation is dangerous in itself, and now there are two women involved. Who knows if those bandits will kidnap them to be their wives?
Emperor Ning really went to great lengths to preserve Qi County, even sending the wife of Marquis Yongding away to vent his anger...
If Yang Suruo learned the news, he would probably wake up laughing in the middle of the night.
He was just a small county magistrate who thought he would never be able to make a name for himself, but he was unexpectedly treated with such importance.
Nan Yue had a calm expression on her face. As a girl, she received the order from behind, and under the cover of her skirt, no one noticed that she was not kneeling at all.
Tian was silent for a long while, and suddenly laughed out loud.
fair enough.
Let her, the mother, accompany Liu Lang on his last journey.
But...it’s hard for Yue Niang.
They had just returned and had not enjoyed much happiness, but had to endure a lot of hardships.
Chu Yu's eyes widened, and he immediately thought of the fate of his mother and sister. He looked flustered, and whispered, "No, no, I can go alone..."
Seeing that he was about to stand up, they were afraid that he would lose his temper and do something disobedient, thus bringing trouble to the entire mansion.
The two uncles kneeling beside him held him down, and Chu Rui, who was kneeling in the front, respectfully accepted the order.
After the messenger left, everyone stood up.
Tian didn't say anything and turned around to pack her things.
Chu Yu was still being suppressed. His chest rose and fell violently, and his eyes were red with anger. "Why? Why did you let him go?"
He struggled to break free from the others, his voice hoarse, "I want to go to the palace! I want to go to the palace! I want His Majesty to take back his order!"
Chu Rui stepped forward, grabbed his arm, pinned him to the ground, and pressed his knee against his back, "Have you had enough of this?"
His arm was twisted to the point of pain, and Chu Yu's face was pressed to the ground. In his blurred vision, the faces of everyone in the Marquis' Mansion became cold and ugly...
"Who do you think you are? Do you want His Majesty to take back his decision? You can't even enter the palace! You are always pampered, do you really think you are a big shot?"
Chu Rui's words were cold and cruel.
He lowered his voice and said, "In fact, you are nothing. You are worse than trash. You can only die for me."
"Clap."
A tear fell to the ground and Chu Yu almost couldn't breathe. He wanted to scream and go crazy, but in the end he could only shed tears cowardly.
He couldn't protect his mother or his sister.
Big brother is right.
He is useless...
"Let me go, brother."
Just when Chu Yu was about to collapse in despair, he heard his sister's voice.
Then there was a bang, the sound of something falling to the ground.
With no one suppressing him anymore, Chu Yu got up from the ground.
The eldest brother, who had just been dressed neatly, was kicked to the ground and fell in a mess. There was a shoe print belonging to a woman on his clothes around his waist, his mouth was bleeding, and even his hair crown was crooked.
He was kicked so hard that he was stunned. How could someone dare to attack him in the Marquis' Mansion?
After seeing who had kicked the person, the others were also stunned.
For a moment, no one reacted and went up to help the embarrassed Chu Dalang.
