Chapter 177 Sisters' Chat
The Song family was at the center of controversy, and the emperor fined Minister Song half a year's salary, and the matter was seemingly over.
After Zhao Fangyu learned about it, he asked Zhou Qinghe to borrow someone to investigate the properties belonging to the Yang family on the market.
The highlighted part is Yang Xiaofei's dowry.
The people who had been keeping an eye on the delivery routes of the fourteen states and who had obtained the secret recipe for the fragrant dew were also arrested by Zhao Fangyu. Overnight, the active and passive people were swapped.
Over time, there will be flaws.
The reason why the Prime Minister's wife helped the Third Prince to silence the witnesses was simply because the Third Prince's wife was her daughter. If Yang Xiaofei had any conscience, she should not spread the war to her own mother's family.
Zhao Fangyu is not a good person and he would never repay evil with kindness.
She openly joined forces with the First Lady and together they squeezed out several of Yang Xiaofei's most profitable dowry shops in the capital.
The Yang family is rich, but they cannot outstrip the Eldest Lady and Zhao Fangyu. The Third Prince is also rich, but Zhao Fangyu and others do things for their reasons. If he intervenes, the matter will become a big deal.
Zhou Qinghe didn't care, but the Third Prince didn't dare.
So Yang Xiaofei could only swallow this loss and hurriedly sold the loss-making shop.
As for the few people who were captured, because they left so suddenly and their families failed to deal with them properly, they became a shaky sword hanging over Yang Xiaofei's head.
After waiting for quite a while, Zhao Fangjin took the initiative to send a message to Zhao Fangyu. Zhao Fangyu guessed that the internal affairs of their family had been almost dealt with, so she greeted Zhou Qinghe and gladly accepted the invitation.
Zhao Fangyu wanted to return the spring shirt, but Chunshao and others could not persuade her. Zhou Qinghe stopped her and made her put on a very thick and ugly cloak before allowing her to go out.
Zhao Fangyu snorted twice, turned back and put on an extra coat.
"The Prime Minister is now eyeing us with all his might. You should be careful and bring more guards with you."
Zhou Qinghe was worried that the Third Prince and his gang would become desperate. After all, the Prime Minister's wife personally came out to supervise the investigation and even tried to silence them. This was a crude plan, but it did not allow anyone to catch them.
The most effective way to deal with a person is to kill her.
Zhao Fangyu stabbed the Yang family and Yang Xiaofei several times. Hurting the Yang family meant hurting the interests of the third prince.
The third prince will probably only be able to provide assistance.
For this reason, Zhou Qinghe asked Xuanbi to follow Zhao Fangyu these days.
Zhao Fangyu knew Zhou Qinghe's good intentions and did not refuse.
"The engagement between the Cui family and the Sun family was annulled, and the Sun family was so angry that they scolded the Cui family in Longxi."
Zhou Qinghe had just received the news and turned around to inform Zhao Fangyu. Zhao Fangyu knew that this matter would most likely fall on Shisiniang's shoulders.
"Cui Zimin had better take responsibility and not let others think that Fourteenth Lady had resorted to some tricks in the capital."
Fourteenth Mother came to the capital to treat her injuries. Rumors can melt gold, so the Sun family should not slander Fourteenth Mother.
Zhou Qinghe recalled Cui Zimin's behavior, his eyes full of interest: "It shouldn't be that serious. The Cui family was quite decent and didn't immediately propose marriage to the Li family."
"Fourteenth Lady doesn't know either. The Sun family does have some guesses, but they don't dare to think about Fourteenth Lady."
After all, when Fourteenth Lady came to Beijing, there was a big scar across her face. No normal person would have thought that such a Fourteenth Lady could win Cui Zimin's heart.
Who would have thought that it was Cui Zimin who was chasing after Shisiniang.
Zhao Fangyu went to find Zhao Fangjin with the gossip. Now Zhao Fangjin took the opportunity to clean up the couple's yard, which had some of the flavor of the original chess academy.
As soon as Xun Yue saw Zhao Fangyu, she smiled so much that her eyes and eyebrows curved, and she bowed to Zhao Fangyu with a smile.
After waiting for people to be welcomed in, he and Chunshao stood guard outside. There was a person squatting on the hanging wall on the roof.
The Jinyiwei were secret agents and did not dare to come here openly.
"What's going on? Can you tell me what's going on?"
Zhao Fangjin's statement was similar to Zhou Qinghe's guess. The old lady was reluctant to part with Qi Yinghe, so Minister Song used such a crude method to lure people out and deal with Qi Yinghe at the same time. Unexpectedly, the prime minister's wife poisoned her to death to prevent any accidents.
"The old lady's family didn't have many relatives left. Some were dead, some were injured. It was hard to find someone who could find her, but she was poisoned to death right in front of her..."
Zhao Fangjin sighed, and Zhao Fangyu also sighed: "What is your old lady's rule? Is she having a good time this winter?"
According to folk saying, as long as an old person can survive the winter, he or she has survived a disaster. After all, as one gets older, every year one lives is a fight against life.
Zhao Fangyu's worries were not unreasonable. Once the old lady passed away, Shangshu Song's career would probably be affected.
Zhao Fangjin shook his head: "You invited the imperial physician to come, and there is no root cause of the disease. It's just that the person is old, and he gets angry, happy or sad, so he has phlegm and congestion."
"If you take good care of yourself in the future, you can still live a peaceful life, but you can't make people angry anymore."
Zhao Fangyu picked up a thumb-sized snack from the table, broke off a piece and put it in his mouth.
"The Yang family caught us two sisters and bullied us. It's really too much."
Zhao Fangjin was not very happy either, but the Yang family was too powerful and deep-rooted to be eliminated, and the Zhao family was in a weak position at the time, so it was particularly passive.
"Come to think of it, why did the jewelry on that fake cousin look familiar to me that day?"
Zhao Fangjin patted Zhao Fangyu in amusement and said, "Are you still playing dumb with me?"
"Originally, it should have been Runcheng's clothes that were suitable for her, but Runcheng and Qi Yinghe have a good relationship, so he didn't want to push Qi Yinghe into it, and was unwilling to give out clothes and jewelry."
Zhao Fangyu frowned when he heard this, thinking that this was a person similar to Zhao Fangyun: "She has a good relationship with Qi Yinghe? Her eyesight is really not good."
Qi Yinghe's behavior was petty, and Song Runcheng was so stupid to create a rift between himself and his sister-in-law because of Qi Yinghe.
Zhao Fangjin didn't want to talk about himself as the not-so-bright sister-in-law, so he changed the subject and asked Shisiniang.
"Fourteenth Lady will be returning home soon, and even the Princess can't stop her this time."
Shisiniang doesn't like the extravagance of the capital. She says that the capital is a flower that is flourishing to the extreme. Such prosperity makes her feel uneasy, so she urgently needs to go back to taste the wind and snow of Longxi and make her bones, which have lost a few ounces, grow back.
The two agreed to go to the dock together to see Shisiniang off in a few days. Not long after, they heard someone outside the door reporting that Zhao Fangjin's foster aunt had arrived.
This aunt has been raised in Zhao Jiarong's home, and she returned at this time specifically for Song Runcheng.
"Now the Song family's household supplies are in my hands. This teaching nanny was asked by my father-in-law to teach Runcheng."
Zhao Fangyu looked at the servants of the Song family and took a sip of tea with amusement.
It was obvious that the mistress was incompetent, but no one was slacking off. Now that Zhao Fangjin had taken over, everything had changed, and the shadow of the Shangshu's wife had almost been completely eliminated.
Minister Song has good intentions, but raising a child is not a one-day job.
Loving someone is like growing flowers, you need to water them day and night so that they can flourish in spring.
Song Runcheng’s future... may not be better than that of the Shangshu’s wife.
"Come to think of it, my husband asked me to tell you that the Third Prince has been acting strangely lately."
