Chapter 142 Xie Family Accident
When the mother and daughter entered the east room of Xuanziyuan, they saw Zhou standing beside Shen’s mother with a gloomy face, Chen Danxia lowered her eyelids, and she didn’t want to see her villain’s ugly face.
Because Tao brought the invitation to send the spring banquet, Chen's mother didn't remember the repeated encounters in front of Tao, so she said directly: "From the third family, take out the cloth and give it to your second sister-in-law."
"Old lady, that cloth has long disappeared." Tao told a small lie. Chen Danxia's eyes flashed slightly.
"How come it is gone?" Chen's mother asked sternly.
"After the old man passed away, I saw that the cloth was too bright to cut clothes. I was afraid that the cloth would be broken after being put forth for a few years, so I sold it to the cloth shop." Tao continued to lie and asked her to take the cloth out of the door without even having it.
"You are lying, that cloth is your dowry, you can't sell it, it must be hidden in the warehouse." Zhou shouted sharply.
"The second aunt also knows that it was my mother's dowry, and I thought it was my second aunt's thing." Chen Danxia's eyelids twitched. She was worried that Zhou would shamelessly go through the warehouse. When the time came, she would turn the cloth out. With Chen's greed, she could not save three pieces of cloth, so she gritted her teeth and gave up her. But obviously her mother was unwilling to give up any of them, so she had to stop Zhou from going through the warehouse and sarcastically took the word "doll".
Chen's mother's expression froze. She was greedy for Tao's things and made a clever name for her to bring them in the name of filial piety. Today, she was encouraged by Zhou and was anxious. She spoke too straightforwardly. She helped the second daughter-in-law to be greedy for the third daughter-in-law's dowry, which was not very reasonable.
Zhou said in a bad mood: "Sir, you are the one who interrupts your child when you speak. Third brother and sister, is this how you educate the Ninth Girl?"
"My Jiuer's upbringing is not a matter of needing to worry about the second wife. The second wife should care more about her children. Brother Kuan was lingering in the restaurant at a young age, which is not a glorious thing." Tao changed his name to Zhou and completely disliked Zhou.
"Tao Pei, don't slander my son. My son went to the restaurant to make friends with others, so he didn't linger in that kind of place." Zhou defended.
Tao sneered and did not argue with her. Shen Baikuan was just a dissatisfied person in his dream. He fought with a playboy and a singing girl, which made the gangster Shen Baishi blinded his eyes.
Seeing the attitude of Tao, Chen's mother knew that even if the cloth was not sold by Tao, Tao would not take it out. She looked at Tao with complicated eyes and said, "If you can't write two characters in one stroke, you will have a good family. If you are from the third family, you have plenty of money, so help more if you can help. Don't be so petty."
"What the old lady said," said Tao indifferently.
Chen's mother knew that Tao was ill-mouthed. She also realized over the years that the third daughter-in-law relied on having children and was no longer as easy to control when she first got married. She sighed lightly, "It's okay, you go back to your room, you won't have to come here later."
"Old Mrs. Xie." Mrs. Tao bowed and left with Chen Danxia.
Chen Danxia was a little surprised. Today, Chen's mother didn't mess around. It was so rare. As soon as the mother and daughter walked around the screen, they heard Zhou say, "Mother, don't have the clothes made of cloth, what will Brother Kuan wear to send a spring banquet?"
"Sumi Yi has not been prepared, let Kuan..."
Tao clasped his lips, held Chen Danxia's hand, and quickly left.
In the end, Zhou did not get the cloth. A few days later, on the tenth day of April, Shen Baikuan could only wear a straight robe made of ordinary satin to attend the spring banquet. On the morning court, in the hall, the emperor wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, angrily smashed a sharp memorial to the old teacher Xie who was kneeling on the ground, and asked sternly: "Mr. Xie, what do you have to say?" Since five days ago, the memorials impeaching the Xie family have accumulated on his dragon case like snowflakes.
The old lady Xie's face turned pale and kowtowed, "Long live, the old minister is wronged, the old minister is wronged, this is false accusation, this is false accusation, the old minister has never sold titles and officials, the old minister has not ruled out dissidents, the old minister..."
Although the old tutor Xie tried his best to make excuses, the evidence was conclusive. Moreover, the emperor's position is as stable as a rock. It is time to clean up these old ministers. The emperor followed the trend and said coldly: "The Xie family has committed a serious crime and should be executed. But I have seen clearly Princess Yan and his relatives Hei Khan, which has prompted the harmony between the two countries and made contributions. Now the Xie family is sentenced to confiscation and exiled for thousands of miles. The Xie family will not be allowed to enter the officialdom within three generations."
The old lady Xie fainted and could not enter the officialdom within three generations, which was enough to make a family defeated and unable to take power. If the political enemy took advantage of the situation, the Xie family would be very likely to become a lowly family and would never be able to turn over.
"The emperor is kind!"
"The emperor is wise!"
Under the flattery of the court officials, the emperor retreated with a smile.
The Hulala building fell and there was no end to the nest. The old lady Xie, Mrs. Xie, Mrs. Xie, Mrs. Xie, Mrs. Xie, and Xie Xiru took off their brocade clothes and clothes, took off their golden hairpins and jade hairpins, and exiled thousands of miles with their fathers and brothers.
On the day the Xie family was escorted out of the city, Chen Danxia asked Xu Lang to go to the teahouse at the city gate. Looking at the old lady Xie and Mrs. Xie who were sitting in the prison car, Bai Cangcang, aging wrinkled faces, Chen Danxia frowned slightly, turned to look at Xu Lang, and asked, "Brother Lang, did you cause this?"
Xu Lang tightly held the teacup in his hand, "I made it."
"Thank you." Chen Danxia chuckled.
Xu Lang was stunned and asked carefully and tentatively: "Don't you think I'm too cruel to take action?"
"Did you just slander the things that the Xie family did for nothing?" Chen Danxia asked.
"Of course not." Xu Lang immediately denied the evidence. He had collected it for a long time, but it was just for Chen Danxia to move in advance.
"Then you are not taking action ruthlessly, but punishing evil and promoting good." Chen Danxia would not be inseparable from right and wrong. Although she sometimes feels that it is better to have less than more things. It is a pity to make things worse when you suffer a small loss, but you will not swallow everything. Besides, Xu Lang's move is obviously to seek justice for her. She is not an ungrateful wolf, nor is she a dog. She is grateful for his love.
Xu Lang smiled, let go of his hand holding the cup, and said, "Little Jiumei, this year's Dragon Boat Festival is held, remember to go and see it."
