There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 638

[Chapter 638, ransacking the house]

Home raid Because of the return of Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai, Mrs. Li knew that her youngest son was thinking about Su Shiyu, so she took a few more children to Su’s house, so she stayed in the provincial government for a few more days.

On the day when Daohua and her party went to Su’s house, Su Shiyu also posted a post for Dong Yuanyao, asking her to have a gathering at Su’s house, but Dong Yuanyao refused.

“I don’t know what’s wrong with Yuan Yao recently. It’s been several times. I posted an invitation to invite her, but she pushed it.” Su Shiyu said while pulling Daohua.

Daohua frowned: “This time I came to the provincial capital, I found that Yuan Yao has changed a bit. Before Yuan Yao’s eyes were shining and she was smiling. Sorrowful.”

Su Shiyu nodded: “Yuan Yao has something on her mind.”

Daohua: “She said she didn’t want to go back to Beijing.”

Su Shiyu: “If it were me, I wouldn’t be reluctant, after all, Yuan Yao can be said to be in Beijing. I grew up in Zhongzhou.”

Daohua was silent for a while: “I always feel that Yuanyao doesn’t want to return to Beijing, not just because of reluctance. Maybe. She was frightened by Brother Dong’s marriage, and worried that after returning to Beijing, she would also be killed. The family forcefully arranges a marriage that she doesn’t like.” Hearing this,   Su

Shiyu sighed: “Since ancient times, marriage matters have followed the orders of our parents and the words of the matchmaker, and we have never been able to make decisions by ourselves.”

The family visits quite frequently, and they live together in the provincial capital. Their family has heard about Dong Yuanxuan’s situation more or less.

Thinking of the gentle and elegant handsome young master who is now as thin as a bamboo pole, she is also quite embarrassed.

At this moment, she is sincerely grateful that she has a pair of parents who dote on her, and also very grateful to God for allowing her to meet Wen Kai who can be entrusted to her for life.

The two chatted about other things for a while, and suddenly, Su Shiyu’s eldest maid, Mo Shu, hurried over with panic on her face.

Su Shiyu: “What happened?”

Mo Shu gasped and said, “Du Senyi’s house was surrounded by a group of officers and soldiers. It is said that the emperor gave an order to raid their house.”

Hearing this, Dao Hua and Su Shiyu showed shock at the same time. .

Daohua hurriedly asked: “Did you hear that the Du family committed something?”

Mo Shu shook his head.

Su Shiyu stabilized her mind, stood up, and took Daohua to the main courtyard.

At this moment, Mrs. Su and Mrs. Li also heard that the Du family was raided. Not only the Du family, but also the homes of many other officials were surrounded, and both of them were a little panicked.

There is no way, such a large-scale house raid incident that was not disclosed beforehand, one who is not paying attention may be implicated.

When Dao Hua and Su Shiyu arrived, Mrs. Su took Mrs. Li to the old Mrs. Su’s yard to check on the situation.

“Let’s go to grandma too.”

Daohua pulled Su Shiyu back: “I’m afraid the adults are not in the mood to talk to us now, so let’s go to my third and fourth brothers, they might know something.”

Su Shiyu Nodding his head, he took Daohua to Su Hongxin’s yard.

Fortunately, the two came quickly and just met Yan Wenkai, Yan Wentao and Su Hongxin who were about to go out.

Yan Wenkai: “Why did you two come to the front yard, go back quickly, there is chaos outside now. ” Daohua

hurriedly asked: “Third brother, fourth brother, what happened outside?”

Yan Wenkai smiled and said: ” Some officials have committed crimes, and now their homes are being ransacked.”

Su Shiyu’s expression was shocked: “Many officials’ homes were ransacked at the same time?”

Yan Wenkai: “Not many, just a dozen or so.”

Yan Wentao saw that Daohua’s face was full of worry , reassuringly said: “Don’t worry, it has nothing to do with our family.”

Although he knew that there was a high probability that it had nothing to do with his family, Daohua was still relieved to hear Yan Wentao’s firm words.

Daohua was relieved, but Su Hongxin who was beside him was a little worried.

This time the emperor ordered to clean up the eight kings’ henchmen in Zhongzhou, Fenxi, and Jiguang provinces. Although the Su family was not the eight kings’ henchmen, the concubine Yifang was involved in it, and the Su family would still be implicated.

Su Shiyu noticed her brother’s expression, and thought about it: “Is there anything wrong with our family?”

Seeing that his fiancée was frightened, Yan Wenkai hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him: “Don’t be afraid, your family will be fine. Looking

at Yan Wenkai’s determined eyes, Su Shiyu’s heart slowly fell back to his stomach.

Yan Wentao: “Okay, you guys go back quickly, let’s go to the street to see the situation.” Daohua

hurriedly said: “I want to go too.”

Su Shiyu also wanted to go out to have a look, and said beside him: “There is also me ”

Yan Wentao showed disapproval: “It must be very chaotic on the street now, you two girls go out, worrying about being bumped into. ” Daohua

: “No, there are third brother, fourth brother, and big brother Su to protect, why not It will make us get hit.” As he spoke, he shook Su Shiyu’s arm, signaling her to ask her fourth brother for help.

Su Shiyu was a little embarrassed, but in order to be able to go out, she still looked at Yan Wenkai eagerly.

As expected, Yan Wenkai couldn’t refuse Su Shiyu, and smiled immediately: “Oh, third brother, you are too careful, with us here, you won’t let Shiyu and eldest sister get hurt.”

Daohua and Su Shiyu nodded repeatedly.

Yan Wentao showed helplessness: “Then you are not allowed to run around.”

After that, Daohua and Su Shiyu followed Yan Wentao to the street.

The Du family was next to the Su family. When Daohua and his party came out, they happened to see the men of the Du family walking out with handcuffs and anklets escorted by officers and soldiers.

Many people stood around to watch, and many of them applauded.

Relying on the power of Du Shenshu, the Du family has always been domineering. Now that the Du family has collapsed, everyone naturally cheers.

“Let go of your dirty hands. I’m the wife of the Senate. Who dares to pull me for your dog?”

Mrs. Du seemed unable to accept the fact that the Du family was raided, and she was not worthy of being with officers and soldiers at all. At that time, the backhand gave the officer and soldier a slap in the face.

This angered the officers and soldiers. They raised their hands and slapped Madam Du in the face, directly knocking Madam Du to the ground. He was still angry and stretched out his legs to kick her hard.

“Mother.” When the

girl from the Du family saw her mother fell to the ground, she hurriedly stepped forward to help her.

The officers and soldiers stopped and dragged, not only intentionally or unintentionally, they directly tore Miss Du’s clothes.

“Ah!”

Madam Du saw that, regardless of the punches and kicks that landed on her body, she rushed to hug the frightened Miss Du.

The men of the Du family looked at it with dejected and hopeless faces, while the female family members stood aside tremblingly, no one dared to step forward.

After the officers and soldiers got angry for a while, other officers and soldiers stepped forward to stop them.

“Damn, be honest with me, don’t think that you are a high-ranking lady or lady, now you are prisoners, and you can save yourself a little bit of pain if you are sensible.” The officer and

soldier spat at Mrs. Du, Then he walked away with a grimace on his face.

“Go ahead!”

Seeing the former noble lady and Miss Jiao being rudely pulled and pushed by the officers and soldiers, and the lecherous officers and soldiers took advantage of the opportunity from time to time, Daohua and Su Shiyu’s expressions were very bad.

Because he was still familiar with the Du family, Su Shiyu didn’t want to see more, so Yan Wenkai took everyone away after seeing her.

As soon as they walked to the next official’s house that was ransacked, Daohua and the others heard heart-piercing cries from inside the wall.

“Let go of me, you beasts, ah, help, master, help!”

Hearing this cry, both Daohua and Su Shiyu turned pale.

“Why did you bring them out?” A

clearly annoyed voice sounded from behind, and when the three of Yan Wentao turned their heads, they saw Xiao Yeyang looking at them with a gloomy expression.

Xiao Yeyang gave the three of them a hard look, then walked up to Daohua, covered her ears with his hands, and left here without caring about the others.

The three of Yan Wentao didn’t expect to encounter such a thing, so they hurried away with Su Shiyu.

Xiao Yeyang didn’t let go of Daohua until he was far away from that family and could no longer hear the screams. Seeing that Daohua’s face was not very good, he said dissatisfiedly: “You like to join in all the excitement, what’s so interesting about ransacking the house?” ?”

Daohua lowered her head, and after a while she said: “Is no one caring about those officers and soldiers?”

Xiao Yeyang: “The purpose is to punish those who committed crimes, so how could they care ?”

Daohua: “But those female relatives It’s innocent.”

Xiao Yeyang sneered: “Innocent? How can there be an innocent person who enjoys glory and wealth before committing a crime, but after committing a crime, he must be punished accordingly.”

Daohua was silent for a moment: “Copied so There are many officials, will they all be killed?”

Xiao Yeyang shook his head: “Sent to Beijing first, and after the interrogation in Dali Temple, they will be lightly exiled and severely beheaded.”

Daohua: “The same is true for female relatives?”

Xiao Yeyang hesitated After thinking about it for a while, she still told Daohua: “Except for the direct descendants, the female family members will be regarded as official slaves or official prostitutes.”

Hearing this, Daohua couldn’t help shivering.

The fate of women in ancient times was really tied to their husband’s family and their mother’s family, and they were all prosperous, all prosperous, and all damaged, which was interpreted to the extreme.
