Chapter 233 - Finally She Left
The news of Zuo Family Mistress killing his concubine swept through the entire capital like a hurricane. Under the push of someone who had ulterior motives, this matter, which originally could not be considered as strange, caused the entire city's citizens to become angry.
Soon after, all the wicked deeds that Mrs. Xue had done in the past were revealed. It was both true and false. The people's stories were told with great joy. Even the teahouses had come up with their own plots.
Mrs. Xue was woken up by the bailiff in her sleep. She didn't even have time to change into a fresh set of clothes before she was taken away, because there was evidence and evidence.
Originally, if Mrs. Xue had only killed Lady Yue, she wouldn't have been convicted. After all, Lady Yue's indenture contract was still in Zuo's Mansion, and she was at most a servant, but she shouldn't have burned to death along with the little one. No matter what, that child also possessed Mrs. Zuo's bloodline, and could be considered half a master.
After Zuo Yunwen found out what had happened, he was indeed furious as Zuo Shaoqing thought. A couple in name only existed in death, not worthy of a beloved concubine at all. He didn't even try to explain to Mrs. Xue.
By the time Zuo Shaoyan found out about this and was moving around looking for connections, Mrs. Xue's verdict had already come down. It was so quick that no one could react to it.
Zuo Shuhui was stupefied as soon as she received the news. If Mrs. Xue's case was true, then she would be the daughter of a criminal. Not mentioning that her reputation had been completely destroyed, the position she was fighting for would no longer be available.
After all, a family like Jiang Family would never have a criminal's daughter as their head mother.
She anxiously sent people to ask Jiang Che to save Mrs. Xue's life. She thought, as long as Jiang Family is willing to come forward, it would be too easy to save someone.
But she forgot that Duke Zhen Manor was the one who was behind all of this. It was one thing if Jiang Family was that powerful, but even if it was, Jiang Che couldn't offend Lu Zheng for her.
As a result, not only did Zuo Shuhui not wait for anyone, she even received a letter of rest which listed the facts of how she framed the mistress that day, offending seven people who were “jealous” of her, and chased out of the Jiang's Mansion on the same day.
Jiang Che had always hated Zuo Shuhui for everything he had done. Previously, he had not touched her because of the relationship between the Wu Steel Manor and the equal wife that Zuo Shaoqing had helped Zuo Shuhui gain, allowing Jiang's Mansion to think that the two families were very close.
Now that he found out that Zuo Shaoqing and Mrs. Xue weren't on good terms and that there was even a huge amount of hatred between them, why would he continue to spare Zuo Shuhui?
The Jiang Family elders did not say anything about this. Madam Jiang had looked down on this small family's daughter from the very start, and since her Jiang's Mansion had met with mishaps after entering the door, she was even more certain that she did not fit in with Jiang's Mansion. She had been wanting to kick this jinx out of the house for a long time.
Zuo Shuhui was driven out of the Jiang's Mansion in a muddled state with only two wives by her side. The maid that she married previously had long since been taken away by Jiang Che and was now hiding in her room, laughing at her.
Staring at the big red Zhu Men on the Jiang's Mansion without focus, Zuo Shuhui suddenly burst into tears. She cried until she was hoarse and heartbreaking, causing the passersby to stop in their tracks.
“Look, that's the big miss of Zuo Family. I heard that Madam Zuo was sentenced to life imprisonment and will have to spend the rest of his life in jail.”
“Serves him right! That wicked woman did not even let a baby go. She truly exterminated humanity! “
“I heard that even Lord Zuo's own mother died in her hands. Lord Zuo is a bastard and has been abused a lot by her.”
“Sigh, Lord Zuo is too kind …”
“I heard that this Miss Zuo is also not a good person. When I first rushed over to marry Master Lu, she actually didn't want him, so she shamelessly designed Lord Jiang and took the opportunity to marry into Jiang Family. Even Lord Jiang's official wife was framed by him.”
“Eh? It's that official wife who was abandoned for her lust? “
“It's that one. However, she is not truly perverted and she was framed by this young lady.”
“It really is …” “Like mother like daughter!”
The two women beside Zuo Shuhui were too embarrassed to show their face. Seeing that more and more people were gathering around them, their words became more and more unpleasant to listen to. They quickly pulled Zuo Shuhui away from this land of conflict.
Originally, Zuo Yunwen wanted to find a new place to stay, but after the successive strikes, he lost all of his face, especially after seeing his daughter, who had gone home, he did not even dare to leave his room.
Now that he had lost his son and his wife, his eldest son was still a High Scholar, and his second son was like that, his only three sons who had such a good future had already become someone else's family. Three daughters and two children had been divorced, and the only one who had yet to be married off was probably someone who would have a hard time finding a good family.
“Sigh, pack your things and leave in two days.” Zuo Yunwen said tiredly to his eldest son, “I don't have the face to stay here anymore. I just hope that after a few years, the news will not affect your future.”
“Father …” Zuo Shaoyan's expression didn't look too good. No matter who heard so much bad news in one night, they wouldn't be able to hold it. He hesitated for a moment, but still said: “Son wants to go out and study.”
Zuo Yunwen was stunned for a moment and then sighed, “That's fine, that's fine. Let's go for a walk.”
Zuo Shaoyan looked at his grizzled hair and felt a little depressed in his heart. If they hadn't moved their entire family to the capital, would all of this not have happened?
Returning to the room, Mrs. Hoe was nursing her son. The peaceful face of Mrs. Hoe emitted a maternal luster. For some reason, Zuo Shaoyan's heart suddenly calmed down.
If anyone in this series of mishaps was the least affected, they would belong to Mrs. Hoe. Since she knew that her son wouldn't send her away, Mrs. Hoe had lived her own life in seclusion.
Whether Lady Yue and her son died or lived had nothing to do with her. With Mrs. Xue gone, she felt even more at ease. It was as if a huge boulder had been removed from her back, and now, she was even more determined to raise her son.
Zuo Shaoyan walked forward and embraced his wife and son from behind. After a long while, he said softly, “Father has decided to go back home. You should also clean up.”
Mrs. Hoe wiped the milk from the corner of her son's mouth and said with a slight smile, “Alright.”
When Zuo Shaoyan sent someone to Zhou Steel Manor to invite him, he received a message: “Lord Zuo has been summoned to the palace by the emperor. I wonder when he will return.”
Standing outside the city gates of the capital, Zuo Yunwen still remembered the mood he had when he stood there. He thought that his Zuo Family would return and rise greatly, but in the end, they had only quietly left in such a manner.
Knowing that his youngest son couldn't come and send him off, Zuo Yunwen had a ‘just as expected' mood. After Mrs. Xue's incident, Wu Tie was the first to go to Sun Iron Manor and Jiang's Mansion. Zuo Shaoqing only coldly replied: “Did Big Bro think that I would save my enemy who killed my own mother?”
It wasn't that he didn't want to fight for it, but that he was powerless. Especially when he thought about how much Zuo Shaoqing had played a role in Zuo Family's series of misfortune, he knew that he had underestimated Zuo Shaoqing.
“Let's go.” Zuo Yunwen took the butler's hand and got into the carriage. The group of people walked away in the cold wind and snow.
On top of a tall tower, a young boy wearing a large carp's robe was looking at this scene. His face was slightly cold, and his eyes were indifferent. He did not reveal a single trace of happiness or sadness.
On the other hand, the other youth beside him rubbed his hands together and said, “He's finally gone!”
Zuo Shaoqing turned his head and asked in surprise: “You also have enmity with them?”
“Of course not.” Luo Xiaoliu curled his lips: “I just don't want you to mess with Yinyi because of this family. My Yinyi is about to become an executioner.”
Zuo Shaoqing sneered. “Do you know that before we entered Duke Zhen's residence, Yinyi was the head of the hidden guards, and that was the real executioner? If it weren't for your grandpa's care, where would you have gotten your hands on each other day and night?”
Luo Xiaoliu choked and rolled his eyes to think. Seemingly, it was true, he immediately supported Zuo Shaoqing with his doggy legs, “I am still the most merciful. The most correct thing I have done in my life is to offer my loyalty to you.”
“Humph, people can always make the right choice in the face of death.” Zuo Shaoqing raised his eyebrows and left.
Luo Xiaoliu thought back to what he had heard and remembered the scene when San Ye fed him poison. His face turned pale and green as he muttered: “I, Luo Xiaoliu, was still such a noble person. I can't believe I repaid the kindness with kindness.”
Zuo Shaoqing walked down the city gate and got on a carriage parked at the side. As soon as he got on the carriage, he was immediately embraced by a warm hug.
“Why did you stand so long? “My face is red from the cold.” A pair of broad and thick hands caressed his face. The warmth was so warm that it reached deep into one's heart.
He rubbed his palm against Lu Zheng's palm, “It's fine.”
Lu Zheng tightly wrapped his big head and fed him another cup of hot tea. He hugged someone and said, “Go back, Zuo Xiaolang has been looking for you for a long time now, so I'm going to announce his identity to the world when I pay my respects in the coming year and write it down in the family tree. There are still a lot of things to prepare, so Mother can't see that you're free.”
Zuo Shaoqing could already foresee the madame's exasperated expression. He chuckled, “Fine, I'll give it a try for the little thing!”
