Chapter 168 under the imperial decree

When Wei's mother saw that her grandchildren were the only ones in the house, she asked Zhao Jingan, "Has your mother come to see you?" Then she looked at Zhao Ruyu and said, "What about you?"

When Zhao Jingan and Zhao Ruyu heard this, they looked uncomfortable. They thought Mother Wei was here to force them to lure Zhao Ruxi out on behalf of the Wei family.

"Grandma, this... I can't do what my mother asked me to do." Zhao Jingan hesitated.

Wei's mother felt something was wrong when she heard this: "What did she ask you to do? What did she ask you to do?"

"Grandma, you don't know?" Zhao Jingan asked in surprise. But he felt relieved soon after.

His mother has always been sneaky about what she does, and it's normal not to tell others.

After thinking about it, he still felt that he should tell his grandmother what Wei had done.

"She asked me to lure my fifth sister out, saying..." He looked at Wei's mother, "She said that as long as the cousin of the Wei family marries the fifth sister, she will not be divorced by her grandmother and eldest aunt."

"Huh?" Mother Wei said that because she just wanted to ask about Wei Liniang's whereabouts these days, but she didn't expect that she would get such news.

"Whether she will be divorced or not, what does it have to do with whether your fifth sister marries the Wei family?" she asked in confusion.

"I asked that too, but she didn't say anything." Zhao Jingan said aggrievedly.

He looked up at Wei's mother again: "Grandma, please advise my mother. It's not good to do this. Really, it will ruin my fifth sister's life. I won't help her harm anyone anyway. As long as you

Tell my grandmother and eldest aunt, they will take my mother back when their anger subsides, and they will not divorce her, right?"

Mother Wei ignored his question and quickly thought about the relationship between the newly brought Zhao Ruxi and the Wei family.

After clarifying the relationship, she glanced at Zhao Ruyu and asked, "Your mother is also looking for you? How did she tell you?"

Before this month, Zhao Ruyu was always considered to be the biological daughter of the Wei family. The Wei family treated her very well, especially Wei's mother, who loved her very much.

In contrast, the old lady of the Hou Mansion was not her biological grandmother, and her eldest aunt was not close to her, but only for face. Therefore, in the previous ten years of Zhao Ruyu's life, she was closer to the Wei family.

In the previous life, Zhao Ruxi was taken back to the Hou Mansion. After the news of the wrong pregnancy spread, Wei's mother knew that Zhao Ruxi was her own granddaughter, but she still disliked her and couldn't do anything to her. She still liked Zhao Ruyu.

Later, the Hou Mansion collapsed. As Mrs. Pingnan Hou, Zhao Ruyu had status and status, and the Wei family was happy to associate with her. However, Zhao Ruyu no longer had the Hou Mansion as her natal family, so she simply treated the Wei family as her natal family. She also needed

Wei Qiu, a third-grade official, came to support him.

Therefore, whether Zhao Ruyu was in her previous life or after she was reborn in this life, in her heart, the Wei family made her feel more like family members than the people in the Suiping Hou Mansion.

But she is no longer the innocent little girl she was in her previous life. She would tell Mother Wei from the bottom of her heart no matter what.

But now that Zhao Jingxin said it bluntly, she no longer concealed it and nodded: "Yes, she said that too. But I don't understand why she did it."

She didn't say whether she said yes or not. If she said no, she wouldn't be able to gain favor from Mother Wei; if she said yes, she was worried that the walls had ears and people in the Hou family might overhear her.

So I just gave it a careless look.

Over the years, Wei's mother, as her husband's official position grew bigger and bigger, although she kept her position as the main wife and did not let Wei Qiu divorce her and marry another high-ranking man, she could not stop him from taking concubines.

Her experience of fighting openly and secretly with her concubines and daughters-in-law could write a rich and tortuous history of house fighting. Zhao Ruyu's ambiguous words may fool others, but they cannot fool her.

But she didn't expose it. She only took a deep look at Zhao Ruyu, then turned to ask Zhao Jingan: "When did your mother say this? Has she come to see you today?"

"I told you yesterday. She didn't come today and I didn't see her." Zhao Jingan said.

As soon as she heard that her daughter did not come to the Hou Mansion today, and there was no news from the Wei Mansion, Mother Wei's heart was lifted.

She asked Zhao Ruyu and Zhao Rurui again: "What about you? Have you seen your mother today?"

Zhao Ruyu and Zhao Rurui both shook their heads.

When Zhao Jingan heard the meaning of these words, his heart suddenly rose: "Grandma, what's wrong? What's wrong with my mother? What happened?"

Wei's mother no longer wanted to talk to them anymore, she stood up and said, "It's okay. I remembered that I have something to do at home and I need to rush back. Your aunt will be here soon, just tell her."

As she said that, she raised her feet and started to leave.

But as soon as she took two steps, there was a sudden noise outside.

"Master, girl, hurry out and receive the imperial edict." A woman rushed in. When she saw Mother Wei, she was stunned, and then said quickly, "Mrs. Wei, you happen to be here too. No wonder the angel called you by name.

I'm going to receive the imperial edict. Let's go quickly, don't waste time."

Wei's mother was stunned, and something bad arose in her heart: Why did the Zhao family ask her to go by name when they received the imperial edict?

Thinking of Wei Qiu and her being reprimanded by the emperor and the empress dowager, she thought that it was the emperor who had issued an edict to divorce the Wei family from the Suiping Hou Mansion. Otherwise, the imperial edict would not involve the two families.

Mother Wei thought of Zhao Jing'an, Zhao Ruyu, and Zhao Rurui too. The expressions on the three people's faces became very ugly.

Zhao Jingli came in from the outside and saw the four people standing there motionless. He said in a deep voice: "Mrs. Wei, the angel has called you to receive the order. Please move."

Then he turned to Zhao Jingan and others and shouted: "Why are you still standing there? Go quickly. Don't waste time and cause trouble for the government."

Several people woke up as if from a dream. Zhao Jingan supported Wei's mother and said, "Grandma, let's go."

Zhao Ruyu also stepped forward and held her other arm.

"Okay." Mother Wei showed a stiff smile.

Forget about her daughter being divorced, and even being divorced by the emperor's decree. This is really embarrassing. How can the Wei family have the dignity to go out to meet people in the future?

Thinking like this, she thought of her daughter who had disappeared all day, and the bad feeling in her heart became even stronger - wouldn't the imperial edict announce worse news than Liniang's divorce?

The Yunhe Hall that received Wei's mother was at the junction of the outer courtyard and the inner courtyard, very close to the main hall of the outer courtyard.

When Zhao Jing'an and Zhao Ruyu helped Wei's mother to the main hall, Zhao Yuanliang, Zhao Yuankun and others had just arrived - Zhao Yuanliang had gone drinking with friends in the evening. It was after Wei's mother arrived that Zhao Yuanxun sent someone to look for him, so he returned

Hou Mansion.

When the angel saw that everyone had arrived, especially Wei Qiu's wife, he unfolded the imperial edict and began to read: "By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict: Wei Qiu, the minister of Taichang Temple, sent Li Mu, a servant of Suipinghou Mansion, and others

Someone killed Liu Chengde's grandson. The circumstances were serious and the impact was bad. Wei Qiu resigned from his post and was demoted to a commoner with a fifty-fifty staff and was exiled to Lingnan. Wei's wife, Yu, was deprived of imperial edict and was exiled with her husband. The other twenty-one members of the Wei family were exiled together as servants.
