Chapter 201 Ancient Times - Falling into Water (End)

In the end, Jingzhao Yin found Xu Lingyun through the poor scholar and sent people to arrest her.

Xu Lingyun cried, "Mom, save me. I don't want to go. I don't want to do this anymore."

Not to mention the third prince, even an ordinary official would not marry a daughter-in-law with a criminal record.

"Can you please be lenient and conduct the interrogation at Xu's house? If you bring my daughter to Jingzhao Yin, her reputation will be ruined and how can she get married in the future?" Zhao Fanghua looked at the bailiff and pleaded bitterly.

The bailiff shook his head: "Madam, there is no precedent for this."

Zhao Fanghua winked at the maid beside her, and the maid handed a bulging purse to the yamen runner.

The yamen runner accepted it calmly and reminded: "Princess Ronghua."

Zhao Fanghua frowned slightly. Princess Ronghua was of proud character and she couldn't just meet her whenever she wanted.

"Mother, save me, I don't want to go to Jingzhao Yin, I'm scared, wuwuwu..." Xu Lingyun's eyes were red and tears fell.

When Xu Jinhuan heard that Jingzhao Yin's men were coming, he hurried over to watch the fun. Seeing Xu Lingyun crying, he comforted her: "Don't be afraid. If you are innocent, Jingzhao Yin will not wrongly accuse you and will clear your name."

Xu Lingyun looked at Xu Jinhuan with resentment, but she asked, "Can you ask the Third Prince for help? Ask him to save me. I really don't want to go in."

From now on, you are my biological sister. I will listen to you in everything and give in to you no matter what. Is that okay?"

Seeing Xu Jinhuan silent, Xu Lingyun hated him so much, but her eyes were tearful. "Sister, just think of it as a plea from you, my sister."

Zhao Fanghua also said, "Huanhuan, your sister is still young and doesn't understand things. I will teach her well in the future."

Seeing that Xu Jinhuan was unmoved, she threatened: "Besides, sisters are a family, and if one rises, all rise, and if one falls, all fall. If your sister goes to jail, your reputation will not be good either."

"I don't care. My reputation isn't that good anyway under your guidance." Xu Jinhuan spread his hands, not caring at all.

Zhao Fanghua was confused. What did she mean? She was trying to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice.

Her face darkened, and she threatened again: "Your father doesn't want you to be a cold-blooded person."

Xu Jin sneered: "You reap what you sow. He is a cold-blooded man. How could he expect me to be a kind person?"

Zhao Fanghua took a deep breath. She knew that her stepdaughter could not be persuaded and was waiting to see Lingyun make a fool of herself. She said disappointedly, "I really misjudged you."

Xu Jinhuan waved his hand, looking nonchalant: "Whether you have never been important to me at all."

"Can we go now?" The bailiff urged, noting that it was getting late.

"Mother... Mother... save me!" Xu Lingyun was taken away unwillingly.

Zhao Fanghua glared at Xu Jinhuan fiercely, then turned around and told the maid to pass the invitation to Princess Ronghua. She only had this one daughter!

But after waiting for a long time, there was no reply. She was almost in despair and urged Xu Wenchang to think of a solution.

Xu Wenchang frowned: "Didn't I tell you to keep a close eye on Lingyun and stop her from doing bad things? What do you think?"

When Concubine Xian sent someone to the palace and said that she wanted to appoint Jinhuan as the third prince's concubine, Lingyun's face looked strange.

He was afraid that she might cause trouble, so he specifically asked Zhao Fanghua to keep a close eye on her.

But I didn't expect that something bad would happen.

When he thought about how so many noble ladies were indirectly killed because of his daughter's fall into the water, he wanted to die.

He slammed the table hard and said in a deep voice: "If you still can't manage Lingyun after this, you can hand Lingyun over to my mother."

Zhao Fanghua: "Your mother is just a country woman who can't read a single word..."

Before she could finish her words, she met Xu Wenchang's dark eyes and instantly shut up.

"Although my mother is a country woman, she raised a top scholar like me. If I hear you look down on my mother again, you will be dismissed as the housekeeper." Xu Wenchang said coldly.

Zhao Fanghua glanced at him, and seeing that he was serious, she whispered, "I was wrong. I was just anxious about Lingyun's matter."

Xu Wenchang said "hmm" lightly, thinking in his mind how to deal with Lingyun's matter. Jingzhao Yin has a strong backer and he can't resist him.

However, Lingyun was not careful in her actions and was caught by someone, so she might go to jail.

What can he do?

He finally secured his position as Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and finally planned a position as a concubine for his eldest daughter.

He closed his eyes, made a decision, and said to Zhao Fanghua: "Find a husband for Lingyun as soon as possible. Marry her off immediately after she is released from prison. Try to find a place that is remote."

Zhao Fanghua:!!!

She looked at Xu Wenchang in astonishment and said in disbelief: "You just gave up Lingyun like that!

You have been an official for so many years, how could you not be able to save Lingyun? Don't you want to save her?

Lingyun is your biological daughter!"

By the end of his speech, Zhao Fanghua's voice was a little hoarse.

Xu Wenchang's face suddenly turned cold, "Don't always think about Lingyun, you also have to think about the Xu family and your son.

Because of her plan, countless noble ladies fell into the water and she offended countless people."

Zhao Fanghua's face flushed, and he said angrily: "It wasn't Lingyun who pushed me, how can you blame Lingyun?"

Xu Wenchang snorted coldly: "Don't you understand venting your anger on others?"

finally.

Xu Lingyun was imprisoned for three days, but her reputation was ruined. All the prominent families in the capital looked down on her. She could even frame her own elder sister at home. After she got married, she might have disliked her mother-in-law and framed her too. Her mind was really vicious.

Xu Lingyun looked at the man Zhao Fanghua introduced to her and said unhappily, "How can he be worthy of me? And his family is so far away from Kyoto."

Zhao Fanghua smiled bitterly, "This must be the best one I have found."

She wanted her daughter to marry into a wealthy family, but no one was interested in Lingyun now.

"I won't marry!" Xu Lingyun turned away.

Suddenly, she had an idea. After dismissing all the maids and servants, she whispered, "Isn't Xu Jinhuan going to marry the Third Prince as a concubine? I will take her place and marry him."

Zhao Fanghua's face changed drastically. "That's deceiving the emperor. If we are discovered, our whole family will lose their heads."

Xu Lingyun didn't care. "No, the Third Prince will protect me and won't expose me."

When they were in the temple, the third prince smiled at her and put his cloak on her.

He must like her.

Zhao Fanghua didn't believe it. "If he would protect you, why didn't he rescue you this time? Don't daydream. Just get married and wait a few years. When no one remembers this, I will ask your father to bring you, your husband and your children to Kyoto."

The only solution now is to "marry far away", otherwise Lingyun will still live in Kyoto and people will always gossip about her.

Xu Lingyun ignored Zhao Fanghua's words and made a secret decision in her heart.

*

The day when the Third Prince married his concubine was very lively. There were loud gongs and drums in the mansion, guests gathered together, and there was constant laughter. Xu Jinhuan sat there like a wooden man while being dressed.

"Sister, could you please let everyone else leave first? I have something to tell you." Xu Lingyun pushed the door open and said with a smile.

Xu Jinhuan glanced at her and said to the maids and nannies, "You guys leave first."

As the person left, Xu Lingyun's smile deepened. She poured a cup of tea for Xu Jinhuan and said, "Sister, have a sip of tea first to moisten your throat."

Xu Jinhuan swallowed and then fell down. Xu Lingyun asked the maid to carry Xu Jinhuan to another room. She changed into her wedding dress, put on a veil, and married the third prince.

The third prince lifted the veil and saw the bride underneath. He was stunned for a moment, asked everyone to leave, then frowned and asked, "Why is it you? Where is your sister?"

Xu Lingyun: "My sister eloped with her lover. She was worried that it would bring trouble to the family, so she asked me to marry you in her place."

The Third Prince: "...Do you think I believe it?"

Does he look silly? Use this to fool him.

Without even lifting his veil, he stood up and said, "Do you want to turn yourself in, or should I take you there?"

Xu Lingyun and Xu Jinhuan looked obviously different, so the fact of her replacement marriage could not be concealed.

If he concealed the truth and was discovered, he would be deceiving the emperor, and he did not want to deceive the emperor.

He also wanted to be emperor.

Xu Lingyun looked at him pitifully, "I know it's wrong to marry someone else, but I really like you, Your Highness, can you help me?"

"No, go quickly and don't force me to send someone to escort you there." The third prince said coldly.

This is totally outrageous. They can even do something as deceiving as marrying in marriage.

Xu Lingyun started crying but didn't move.

The Third Prince said coldly: "Come here! Take her to Jingzhao Yin."

Several servants came in and took Xu Lingyun out.

Xu Lingyun struggled desperately: "I won't go, I won't go, Your Highness, please save me, I beg you, I will work like a cow or a horse for you in the future..."

The voice gradually faded away, and the third prince couldn't help but complain: "What an idiot."

But can he still marry his concubine?

The third prince sent people to investigate what was going on?

I also sent a letter to the palace, asking how to deal with it.

When Concubine Xian saw the contents of the letter, she was also shocked. Is this something a normal person could do?

In order to marry a prince, the Nine Clans no longer want it?

But it's a pity for her good sister's daughter.

Shangshu Mansion.

The banquet is over.

Xu Wenchang went to the backyard with a smile on his face, but he saw Xu Jinhuan feeding the fish. He frowned and asked in confusion, "Why are you here? Shouldn't you be in the prince's mansion this time?"

Xu Jin smiled happily: "Xu Lingyun knocked me out and married him in my place."

Xu Wenchang was stunned and said in disbelief: "How is it possible? She is not mentally ill, how could she do such a daring thing?"

Xu Jinhuan spread his hands: "Then you should ask her."

Xu Wenchang's eyes went dark and he almost fainted. He quickly said to the servant beside him, "Call my wife for me."

Zhao Fanghua came, and after hearing the reason, her legs went weak. If the maid beside her hadn't helped her quickly, she would have almost fallen to the ground. She trembled and said, "How dare she?"

"Why not? I usually ask you to teach her well, but you just keep pampering her. Now she has become a disaster, and you are satisfied?" Xu Wenchang said unhappily.

He had managed to get the position of Shangshu with great difficulty, but now because of his daughter, not only might he lose his position, he might even lose his head.

How could he not be angry.

He said coldly: "Prepare a valuable apology. I will go to the Third Prince's Mansion to apologize now."

Zhao Fanghua did not dare to delay any longer and quickly told the nanny beside her to prepare. She glanced at Xu Wenchang and saw that his face was gloomy and he was still uneasy.

I caught a glimpse of Xu Jinhuan standing beside me and yelled, "I'm not ignorant, but you are not ignorant either? Don't you know how to stop her?"

Xu Jinhuan curled his lips and said, "She knocked me out, how can I stop her?"

Zhao Fanghua paused and said, "You should go to the palace to ask for mercy from the virtuous concubine now. Your sister's replacement marriage is not just her problem, it will also affect our whole family."

Xu Jinhuan rolled his eyes: "The palace gates are locked at this time. How can I get in? Should I climb in?"

Zhao Fanghua: "...Don't just stand here and think of a solution."

She looked at Xu Jinhuan with suspicion, she even suspected that she was outwitting him.

But there is no reason.

Wouldn’t it be nice to marry the third prince smoothly?

"Look again, there's nothing I can do." Xu Jinhuan said with a rogue look on his face.

Xu Wenchang looked at Xu Jinhuan deeply, and came to the Third Prince's Mansion with apology. The Third Prince did not see him, but the servants of the Third Prince's Mansion told him that Xu Lingyun had been taken to Jingzhao Yin.

His face suddenly turned pale, and he wished he could strangle to death this daughter who had always caused trouble for the family.

He went to Jingzhao Yin and wanted to visit the prison, but was rejected without any mercy.

completion!

really.

There will be a meeting the next day.

The emperor was furious and demoted him again and again, finally exiling him to Lingnan.

Xu Lingyun was also sentenced to execution in the autumn.

How audacious.

He even dared to replace the royal family’s marriage.

After hearing this, Xu Lingyun was in despair.

She thought the third prince would protect her.

But why not?

Doesn't he like her?

Why did you watch her die?

Her tears burst out and she cried heartbrokenly.

She is still so young, she doesn't want to die!

Of course Xu Jinhuan did not go to Lingnan with Xu Wenchang. She stayed in Kyoto under an assumed name.

In autumn, I went to the execution ground and watched Yu Lingyun being beheaded.

In winter, she kept making trouble and brought down the third prince. The virtuous concubine was also banished to the cold palace for plotting to murder the royal heir.

Another spring.

Xu Jinhuan came to Lingnan and watched Xu Wenchang and Xi'an Fanghua fighting each other, and watched Old Lady Xu fight with a beggar for food over a bun.

It was miserable! It was miserable! But she was very calm in her heart, because they deserved it.

Xu Wenchang watched coldly as Old Lady Xu killed Meng Linglang.

In order to get promoted, Zhao Fanghua kept whispering in Old Lady Xu's ear.

They deserved it all.

Thereafter.

Xu Jinhuan did not leave Lingnan. She occupied several bandit dens and then began to rob the bandits for gifts, becoming a chivalrous woman.

This was the original owner's dream when she was reading storybooks, and now, she has realized it for her.
