The old lady is reborn

Twenty years later, Lu Yiyi's family was cleared out from the old house by Han Zhang and transferred to work on the farm.

The family couldn't bear the hardship, so they got together to discuss it. They had some money in hand over the years, so they decided to quit their jobs and start their own business.

Han Zhang did not find any evidence that Lu Yiyi had tampered with the carriage. Based solely on suspicion and worry, he stripped Lu Yiyi and her entire family of their management rights in the old house and "sent them" to the farm to do farm work, which made Lu Yiyi extremely angry.

She seemed to have forgotten that it was she who caused He Yuan, the wife of the Marquis of Dongyang, to break her leg.

Twenty years of actual control and careful planning, as well as the locals' familiarity with the local conditions and geographical advantages,

Compared with He Yuan's new arrival, her trusted men stayed in Beijing, and because Lu Yiyi's situation was very different from that in her dream, she was hesitant and indecisive, which went against Lu Yiyi's will.

After Han Zhang dealt with it, He Yuan slowly transferred personnel from Kyoto to continue investigating the matter secretly.

But Lu Yiyi did a good job. Seeing that her men hadn't found out anything new, He Yuan casually ordered them to check her husband.

I didn't intend to find out anything.

I heard that her husband is an honest man and treats Lu Yiyi very well. He used to be a farmer and is now the head of the village. He has worked hard and made his way up step by step.

But according to the report from the servants sent by He Yuan to investigate, when they heard that Yao Siyuan was going to be investigated, Lu Yiyi, who had been very calm until now, was obviously a little panicked.

Could it be that the husband did it on behalf of Lu Yiyi, murdering the mistress? Or was there something else going on with Yao Siyuan?

He Yuan ordered to continue investigating him.

They actually found out that the Ninth Prince was favored by the late emperor and owned a gold mine. A lot of gold was shipped to Kyoto by ship for the Ninth Prince to use.

But sometimes water transportation would be interrupted for various reasons and had to be transferred by land. Then many people who were usually lurking would show up, take the transferred gold, and transport it to where the Nine Kings needed it.

Lu Yiyi's man used to do this. He was a point on the Jiuwang land transportation line. Yao Siyuan had worked hard to get this head-breaking job.

This stems from Lu Yiyi's jealousy of her younger sister Lu Xiaolan twenty years ago. Lu Xiaolan, who has never been as good as her but married better than her, made Lu Yiyi feel unbalanced.

After marrying Yao Siyuan, she quickly made this man obey her orders.

In his heart, Yao Siyuan felt that he was not worthy of Lu Yiyi. Such a beautiful girl should marry someone better than him. She was just targeted by someone and ended up in the situation where she had to marry him.

After listening to Lu Yiyi's crying, Yao Siyuan concluded that her sister was a vicious person who had been jealous of her sister's beauty for many years and had been trying to trip her up and harm her in various ways.

Such a person, by chance, got a good marriage. In this village, everyone knows her background, and only men like Shazhu and Hangou are willing to marry her.

Now that he is Yiyi's husband, he has the responsibility to make her live a good life, at least no worse than her evil-hearted sister.

In this way, Yao Siyuan looked for ways to make money everywhere, and he was willing to do any job.

He is honest, reliable, and determined to make money, willing to take risks. The area where he is located happens to be a transshipment point, so he is gradually noticed by the Ninth King's men who established the transportation line that year.

Regarding the transportation of gold, although the people at these transportation points might not necessarily know whose gold it was and why it was being transported in this way, because the dynasty strictly implemented the policy of court ownership of gold mines and prohibited private mines, everyone knew that the transportation of such a large amount of non-official gold ingots was illegal and against regulations.

But if you give too much, no one will break this window paper. And after a long time, those who know something will inevitably think, if you don't allow private ownership, then the gold mine is just given away, right? Maybe it's okay.

Yao Siyuan did this job until Rong Huaian discovered the secret inside the walls of the "Blacksmith Shop" in Kyoto. He stopped only when the "Blacksmith Shop" was destroyed.

Originally, the investigation into this matter had not reached Yao Siyuan's level, and many people who did this were fine. But now Yao Siyuan has been found out by He Yuan's men.

When Yao Siyuan was doing this, he had thought about the day when something bad might happen. He was open-minded and had already given all the money he earned by risking his life to Yiyi.

As long as she lives a good life, it's fine. But he doesn't know whether this matter will implicate his wife and children, so Yao Siyuan filed for a divorce.

To Lu Yiyi, Yao Siyuan is no different from men like Zhuzi and Ergou in the village who have followed her since childhood and always followed her lead.

They should do whatever they want for her, and it is also their duty not to get themselves involved afterwards.

She was just planning to go with the flow and get a divorce, since she had the money anyway. But she heard a friend who worked with Yao Siyuan say to her, "Don't think too much. Why get a divorce?"

If something really happens, the two children have the surname Yao, and everything will be fine unless they live with their mother after the divorce.

What's more, in this matter, the above-mentioned intention is probably to catch a few big fish, and it will not involve us ordinary people. Otherwise, when the incident happens, they will pull out all the radishes and mud and kill a large number of people.

This is because they don't regard us as the Nine Kings' rebel party. If someone really exposes this matter now, it may not end well.

How to deal with us, whether to deal with us or not, is a thorny problem. In most cases, they just cover it up and let it go.

So Brother Yao doesn't need to divorce."

This man has known Yao Siyuan for many years and doesn't like Lu Yiyi's tone of speaking and doing things, as well as the contempt she often inadvertently shows towards her good friend and her husband Yao Siyuan.

But Yao Siyuan held Lu Yiyi in his hands, and if they really wanted to divorce, I, his silly brother, would probably not be left with a penny if he "willingly" did so.

As for divorce, it should be done only after your good brother has thought it through, but these words are not easy to say.

However, as someone who worked on the same job as Yao Siyuan, he had already thought about the matter inside and out, so he talked about the matter from another perspective and advised Yao Siyuan not to divorce now.

But after hearing this, Lu Yiyi wanted to cause trouble again. She didn't know what she was thinking, so she went to Han Zhang for help.

She directly told Han Zhang that her husband had been involved in the transportation of the Nine Kings' gold for many years in order to make life better for his family.

Then, seemingly calm but aggrieved, she said, “The princess probably holds a grudge because of what happened twenty years ago. Even though the Marquis has kicked me and my family out, she still cannot eliminate this suspicion.

The emperor didn't even pursue the matter in the first place...will the princess not let it go unless she kills all the enemies?

This matter is my fault alone. I shouldn't have met the Marquis so many years ago. If the princess wants to beat, scold, or vent her anger, just come at me.

Please spare my husband and family."
