Chapter 276
She started crying as she said, both resentful and aggrieved.
Mr. Yu's face was not very good-looking. Who would have thought that Jiang Yuan, a civilian Jinshi, would dare to throw the face of a noble family? Although the outside world did not know about this, almost everyone in the Yu family knew the inside story. Those servants were not allowed to talk and laugh behind their backs? How did Yu Ling be a human being?
"Okay, Ling'er is also my daughter. Don't I feel sorry for me?"
He walked over, straightened his wife's shoulders, and said softly: "But now that things have come to this point, there is no other way. You should restrain your servants and don't let them slut out. Then choose a good son-in-law for her. In a short time, this matter will be over."
"You're talking lightly."
Mrs. Yu Er shook his hand away, "It's all your fault. If you didn't know clearly, she took Jiang Yuan into the mansion and saw Ling'er. She threw her heart into her, but he married someone else as a wife. Ling'er not only lost her face, but also lost her heart. Where did she, a 14-year-old girl, have she experienced this? Half of her life has to be lost..."
Now Mr. Yu didn't know how to persuade him.
"My Ling'er is a noble girl from a noble family. How many noble men are waiting in line to ask for marriage. Why is the marriage difficult now? Could it be my fault?"
Mrs. Yu Er thought of the Jiang family's "unrespectfulness" and her mother's "indifference and ruthlessness", which made her unable to ask for help. Her daughter was heartbroken, so she couldn't help but feel resentful and dug up old accounts. She was accusing Mrs. Yu and Yu in her words.
Master Yu frowned when he heard this. Although his mother had done it, he was now sick and sick because of his younger sister's death. He was in short order. What else can they say when they are juniors?
"What do you say?"
"What else do I say if I don't say this?" Mrs. Yu Er said coldly: "I shouldn't have gone to the Xiao family to make trouble. My little sister got married and became a wife, and my mother-in-law should be punished for anything she had committed. She relied on her support from her parents and was unscrupulous. Her mother was wholeheartedly protecting her and became a murderer, which ruined the reputation of the entire Yu family. Poor Ling'er, who was only fourteen years old, was so implicated by her that she could not get married..."
“Bad talk!”
Mr. Yu has always been good to his wife. In his opinion, women have some minor problems, it is not a big deal. After all, no one is perfect. But if you don’t know the right way and only care about your own selfish desires, you can’t indulge them anymore.
"If you want to talk to me about these old past events, then I will ask, who was so greedy for the wealth of the Xiao family and joined forces with my younger sister to give me some gifts from others?"
Mrs. Yu Er felt guilty and exhausted.
"I just pleaded for you in front of my mother when I saw you repentant. I thought you were just confused for a while, you and me were one, and you made a mistake, and I should have a responsibility. Now if you mention the old things and put all the blame on your younger sister, wouldn't it be like your younger sister?"
Mr. Yu looked calm and said in a deep voice: "The thousand-mile dike was destroyed by an ant hole. If you hadn't indulged your younger sister and raised her ambitions, how could she have made mistakes in one step? Now that the Yu family has reached such a point, if you want to pursue it, you are one of the real murderers."
Mrs. Yu Er stared at him, but couldn't say a word of refutation. After a while, she covered her face and cried softly.
"Okay, it's all my fault. Since you are so disgusted with me, you think I have lost your face and have embarrassed the Yu family, then you might as well get off with a divorce paper..."
"You're talking nonsense again."
Seeing that she was crying sadly, Yu Erye couldn't bear to blame her anymore and sighed.
"Why did I say I'd like to divorce you? But don't say these words again in the future, especially don't let my mother hear them. My younger sister made a mistake and was already retribution. My mother is now terminally ill. It's meaningless to care about who's responsibilities." His tone softened, "The most important thing now is to decide Ling'er's marriage. She is young and is just a temporary obsession with Jiang Yuan. When she gets married, she will gradually forget."
"What about the Jiang family?" Mrs. Yu Er was unwilling to give up, "Can you just let it go?"
"What else can I do if I don't forget it?" Yu Erye smiled bitterly, "Do I still have to use my power for personal gain to suppress and retaliate? I seized the clerk's handle and then wrote another one of my books? Besides, for no reason, I will deal with a Jinshi, which is not a suspicion?"
This is exactly the same as Mrs. Lu.
Mrs. Yu Er pursed her lips, "Okay, I won't deal with the Jiang family, but you can use other methods."
Master Yu frowned again.
"What else do you want to do?"
Mrs. Yu Er glanced at him, but didn't say anything, and got up and went to the next daughter's yard.
Yu Ling knew that Jiang Yuan had a new love, and she was depressed and fell ill. In just two days, her face had been thinner and she was lying on the bed, very haggard.
Ten-year-old Yu Qing sat by the bed, wiped her tears and said, "Second sister, don't cry, your eyes are swollen."
Yu Ling felt sad and tears fell down like pearls with broken threads.
Yu Qing was anxious and at a loss when she saw this, "Second sister, my father and mother will definitely make the decision for you, don't cry..."
Yu Ling smiled bitterly.
How to make the decision? Can you still tie Jiang Yuan and marry her?
"I'm now a joke to the entire Yu Mansion." She said hoarsely and cried, "Those maids and servants are all talking behind their backs. What else can I do? It's better to die clean..."
"nonsense."
Mrs. Yu Er walked in and heard this and immediately scolded, "What are you not dead? Don't talk nonsense."
"Isn't it?"
Yu Ling cried even more sadly, "Everyone in the mansion knew that you and your father were preparing to discuss marriage for me, and they also knew that they had fallen in love with the Jiang family, but the Jiang family hired another good wife. I, a noble lady, have been disliked by others. How can I meet people in the future?"
Yu Qing gave up his seat to his mother.
Mrs. Yu Er gently wiped her daughter's tears and said, "Don't worry, my mother will not let you suffer grievances, and she will definitely seek justice for you."
"I don't want justice."
Yu Ling was also stubborn and cried, "Why would he rather marry a civilian than me? I am a noble girl, but I was actually compared by a civilian. That woman is really so good, and it is worth him to give up the shortcuts of official positions and ask for marriage? Am I so unbearable?"
Mrs. Yu Er hugged her daughter with distress, "Of course my Ling'er is the best. He has no eyes and no knowledge of gold and jade. Such a person is not worthy of your sadness, and he will not be rewarded."
Yu Ling still cried, "I want to know what kind of fairy that woman is, or the geek in the book that charms people's hearts. Otherwise, how could he be so fascinated?"
My daughter got into a dead end, and Mrs. Yu Er had to comfort her, "What kind of fairy fairy? She is just a pariah who can't stand it. Our Ling'er is a noble girl from a noble family. She doesn't even deserve to shine shoes for you. If you want to compete with her, it's a downfall. Do you understand?"
She patted her daughter on the back and whispered: "Listen to me, my mother won't let that woman have a good life."
Yu Ling was immersed in her own pain. She didn't listen to a word about what her mother said, except crying.
Mrs. Yu Er felt even more hated when she saw her daughter like this.
The next day, she sent someone to ask who the Jiang family was employed. When she learned that she was the daughter of a businessman, she felt even more despised and despised.
Jiang Yuan is now a sixth-rank Hanlin Academy editor, and he is also an official. All the loyal ministers of the cabinet of all generations have come from the Hanlin Academy. Now the old masters and son Zhou Yan have come from the Hanlin Academy. However, with Jiang Yuan's background, he wants to make a name for himself, but in any case, he is considered a noble family.
The merchants are the most humble. Not to mention that they have entered the Hanlin Academy, even if they are a ninth-rank sesame official, they cannot marry a merchant’s daughter. At most, they just take a concubine or come for the other party’s dowry.
A small family is indeed shallow in their knowledge.
Jiang Yuan is now in the capital. If he is targeted, it is indeed inappropriate if he is found out. So Mrs. Yu changed her policy and directly dealt with Jiang Yuan's fiancée Yan Ming.
Isn’t the Yan family doing business?
Then she will make them unable to do it.
The Yan family is a salt merchant, and the most important thing is salt intake!
Businessmen without backgrounds usually give a large handful of silver to the county magistrate or prefect if they want to obtain salt quotas. If there is no salt quotas, they are selling private salt. And selling private salt is a death sentence!
Even though the Yu family is not visible now, they still have connections. You only need to give an order to do this.
Mrs. Yu Er wrote a letter directly and asked someone to send it to the local prefect.
