Ever since the day when Shi Yun started fighting against Pei Yu, Shi Anxia had been preparing for today.
She was very aware of the short-sighted nature of her father and grandfather.
They have no ability themselves, but they yearn for glory, wealth, and glory in front of others.
Naturally, when a more prominent powerful person extends an olive branch to them, they will jump on it and hug their thighs, not caring about sacrificing their children and future generations.
Earlier, the old lady gave the old Marquis the poison of "Luyang", and the poison would not be completely eliminated for a while.
Doctor Shen gave him a medicinal incense as a detoxification method, and it was smoked in the house all year round.
What they don’t know is that the poison of Luyang cannot collide with the fragrance of Congyin medicine.
Shi Anxia only had to ask people to replace the medicinal fragrance that the old marquis usually used with the medicinal fragrance of Congyin. When the old marquis was so angry that he would naturally feel chest tightness and vomit blood.
As long as the old Marquis does not behave like a monster, Shi Anxia will not take such a step of rebellion.
Unfortunately, the old Marquis who is not a monster obviously does not exist.
As soon as Shi Anxia learned that the old Marquis had sent someone to cancel the engagement, he had someone replace it with Congyin Yaoxiang.
It had only been a few hours, and the old Marquis fell down due to his anger. If you want to climb the high branches of imperial power, you must also see whether you have the life to enjoy it.
And Mrs. Shi’s letter was definitely not a forgery.
At that time, the old lady was pampered in the Hou Mansion and had never suffered in her life. After going to Changsong Buddhist Hall, life was miserable.
Thanks to the money An Xia gave me, I got a little better. However, Changsong Buddhist Hall is about a day and night's carriage ride away from the capital, and the Buddhist temple is built in a deep mountain and old forest, so even if there is money, there is nowhere to use it.
There she recalled the stupid things she had done in her life, and the one she regretted most was that she changed Tang Chujun's son.
If she could treat Qi'er well, even if she designed Tang Chujun to be her daughter-in-law, she might not end up like this.
Anyway, Mrs. Shi became more depressed and thinner day by day, her eyes were blurred, and her tears ran dry.
She and Aunt Li, their master and servant, ate vegetarian meals, wore plain clothes, and lived a day without knowing the weather.
At this moment, a letter came from the capital.
Lao Madam Shi finally received a letter from her family.
But she never expected that the first person to write her a letter home would be Shi Chengyi.
She had doted on her son Shi Chengxuan for most of her life, but she never thought of her mother.
Shi Chengyi mentioned in the letter that he had been promoted from a seventh-rank official to a fourth-rank official, and was transferred to the position of Vice Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. Now the Hou Mansion is in the hands of his wife, Yu Sujun, and is in good order inside and out. I hope my stepmother will not have to worry and can concentrate on chanting the Buddha's name.
It’s so heartbreaking! My already calm and numb heart was disturbed by this letter. How can you concentrate on chanting Buddha’s name!
Ah, my Buddha is compassionate! Amitabha! Namo Amitabha! Nawuwuwuwuwu
In that letter, Shi ChengYi also mentioned that when his niece was a child, An Xia managed Yunqi Academy in a great way and invited two great scholars, Huang Wanqian and Fang Yuchu, to serve as teachers.
Everyone who leaves Yunqi Academy in the future will be disciples of the two great Confucians, so their starting points are naturally different.
And An Xia is good at writing beautiful Japanese calligraphy, which was improved from the only copy left by the ancestors of the Huang family. She is now regarded as "Sir" by Old Master Huang, and she is to teach publicly in the capital.
The old lady looked at those words and imagined how beautiful the Hou Mansion was in the capital now, how enviable it was. It is no longer the stagnant pool it once was. Throwing a big stone will not cause a splash.
But she can’t see it! She can't enjoy the glory of the Hou Mansion! This is a state of mind that cannot be calmed down no matter how many times you say "My Buddha is compassionate."
The letter was very long. People who didn’t know it thought it was written by their own son to express his longing for her.
The letter even mentioned how Shi Yunqi became famous in the capital, was valued by the emperor, and was appreciated by the teachings of major academies. His future was limitless.
The old lady loved and hated reading the letter over and over again. Those words were like thousands of needles densely piercing her heart. The pain made her unable to sleep at night, and she had insomnia until dawn.
The candle lamp in the Buddhist hall was too dim, so she often read letters under the lamp, which made her almost blind.
After seeing it, she could almost recite the letter backwards. While reciting Namo Amitabha, you can also recite the contents of the letter.
After all, she could not break through the shackles of glory and wealth. Comparing it with the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng today, who had a simple diet, she was extremely desperate.
The spring snow melted away and it was spring, but the old lady fell ill.
The disease came fiercely, and during several high fevers, Mrs. Shi fell into a trance, as if she heard the voice of the Buddha calling her.
She supported her aching body and wrote two letters with all her strength.
The letter is for granddaughter Shi Anxia. In the letter, she confessed what she had done back then, and said that she was far away from the capital, and what she missed the most was her granddaughter.
Another letter was written to the old Marquis, saying that she was dead and hoped that the old Marquis would take care of her health.
This letter arrived at the Hou Mansion two days ago. Since the Hou Mansion was still waiting for the emperor's announcement, Shi Anxia thought about it and suppressed it for the time being.
She thought, it would be better not to irritate her grandfather at this time.
In the end, her grandfather was nothing to worry about. He had a quick mind. So this letter was sent in today, just in time to make up for what Mr. Yang Xuan said: "At least four old people have been affected by this wave of evil spirits, ranging from serious illnesses to people leaving."
As for why the two old men in the Protector's Mansion were also affected?
Because Shi Anxia just learned from her aunt that her grandfather was also involved in this matter.
The eldest aunt sent a letter saying that today the Duke of Guo was very abnormal when he heard that the Wei family came to the door of the Hou Mansion.
She tried a few words. The Duke of Guo did not hide anything from her. He said that the Wei family was not worthy of his grandson and that renunciation was the only way to go.
ThisIt's just like two old guys who have the same chemistry.
Tang Songlin had long been dissatisfied with Shi Yunqi's marriage to the Wei family.
If Shi Yunqi had no future, he would not bother to ask whoever he wanted to marry. But things were different now. Shi Yunqi had a bright future, so he was anxious.
The old Marquis wanted to cancel the marriage and wanted Shi Yunqi to marry Princess Fengyang, which was exactly what he wanted.
Tang Songlin was informed by the old Marquis in the first few days about this matter. He also participated in the discussion and thought that it would be enough for the Wei family to send a servant to the door to inform them.
As for the divorce process, he, the father, would go to Tang Chujun to arrange it in a few days.
His daughter Tang Chujun will definitely not dare to resist. When the time comes, she will obediently hand over the marriage document she originally signed, and then the matchmaker will tear it up in front of both parties, and rewrite a letter of withdrawal from the marriage, and then the marriage is done.
Tang Songlin felt that he still had some face. This is called blood pressure.
In other words, the old Marquis made this big deal after discussing it with his father-in-law, and took advantage of the situation to drag him into the water.
Shi Anxia went to Dr. Shen to get a package of medicine and sent it to her aunt urgently, asking her to find a way to put it in her grandfather's tea.
That medicine will not hurt the body, at most it will cause a serious illness. This proves what Mr. Yang Xuan said.
But Zhu is different.
Zhu recently heard ghosts calling her day and night. She also felt inexplicable pain in her bones, and her bones were rattling like broken bones when she slept until midnight.
In addition, the nuns who served her said that the doctor told her to eat light food, which was just a simple meal every day, without any oil or starch.
She was frightened, hungry, sleepy and tired, and could not sleep. In just a few days, Zhu was so thin that she was almost inhuman shape.
There is actually another person who is angry, sleepy and unable to sleep, and that is the empress dowager who lives in the palace.
She had a headache and always felt that she had been tricked by Emperor Mingde, but there was no evidence. After the abolition of the impunity system, the first person to benefit was the Jian'an Marquis Mansion.
It’s the Marquis of Jian’an Mansion again!
Tianjiao Fengnu’s luck should not be underestimated.
Her confidant, Nanny Wan, the palace maid, hurried into the palace to report, "The Queen Mother, we have found it!" The transcoding has been serious recently, which makes us more motivated and updates faster. Please use your little hands to log out. Reading mode. Thank you
