Chapter 479 The End of the Tan Family
Shen Yu turned around and saw Tan Daixue standing not far away in a light green dress. She was no longer as exquisite and luxurious as before, but she was looking at him with a smile on her face and greeted him.
I thought they had a very good relationship... If I remember correctly, the last time they met was when she brought a group of people to the Tan family to cause trouble? So what was she up to?
Seeing the princess looking at her with a strange look in her eyes, Tan Daixue seemed to understand what she was thinking. She quickly put down the basket full of embroidery threads in her hand, walked to the front of the carriage and saluted, "Greetings to the prince, greetings to the princess!"
Seeing the guards blocking her from approaching, she was not angry. She had moved to Nan County for more than ten days and had gone to the "Health Care Center" twice to ask for an audience. The servants said that it was inconvenient for the princess to see guests. She was worried that she had annoyed the Tan family... But after seeing the princess's round belly, she was relieved. It was indeed inconvenient for her to see outsiders. Even if the princess summoned her, she would not dare to go. If something happened, no one could bear the consequences.
"Is there anything you need?" Shen Yu saw her staring at his belly and didn't move closer, but there was no malice in his eyes, only curiosity.
Tan Daixue didn't act pretentiously. She smiled and knelt down directly, saying, "I just saw the princess just now, and I wanted to say thank you in person! Thank you for being so kind and letting the women of the Tan family go, and thank you for letting me avenge my aunt!"
Shen Yu thought about it and it seemed to be the case.
As expected, a pregnancy can make a woman stupid for three years. Her thinking seemed to have become slow recently, so she said a little embarrassedly, "You're welcome. Your mother also helped a lot." She was telling the truth. The evidence provided by Mrs. Tan was the key to conviction.
At this time, Prince Zhuo on the side suddenly said, "Madam is tired, you should go back and rest!" After that, he helped the person into the carriage and ordered the guards to leave.
Tan Daixue shook her head and laughed. Prince Zhuo's eyes never left the princess from beginning to end. His preference and protection were so obvious. How blind was she to think that she had the ability to replace Shen Yu?
Ever since she learned that her aunt was innocently murdered because she discovered Tan Fuyao's affair with the fake King of Beirong, she asked the palace guards to pass a message to Shen Yu, hoping that she could deal with the enemy personally.
Originally, she didn't hold out much hope, after all, these two were serious criminals. But unexpectedly, a few days later, the guards of the palace came back to say that the princess agreed, but she had to wait until the interrogation was over and could not let them go. If she wanted to deal with them, she could only go to the prison in person.
In the days that followed, she witnessed with her own eyes how the Tan family fell from power, and how they went from being the most prosperous City Lord's Mansion to being a traitor in Zhuo City that everyone wanted to kill.
My father had a stroke after vomiting blood last time, but he ultimately could not escape the accountability of Prince Zhuo's Mansion. Although he did not take the initiative to get involved in the Yun family's affairs, he did not stop them either, and he was trying to please both sides.
If the Yun family succeeds, he will become the nominal lord of Zhuocheng. If they fail, he will report his wife and daughter for the sake of justice.
Therefore, my father has been secretly collecting evidence of the Yun family's crimes, and has even colluded with those people from the previous dynasty, accepting bribes while placing his own people in important positions.
At the beginning of the interrogation of my father, he chose to resist stubbornly, acting as if he was forced to do so and endure humiliation to infiltrate the enemy. He even wanted to drag the entire Tan family to be buried with him in order to weaken King Zhuo's heart and hope that he would let him go in consideration of the Tan family's many years of contributions.
In the end, it was his mother who produced evidence that he and the aristocratic families of the previous dynasty were coveting the power of Prince Zhuo's Mansion. Only then was the women of the Tan family freed and all the men were enlisted in the mining team.
All of the Tan family's property was confiscated, but the princess allowed the female members of the family to keep their dowries, and my mother gave all the concubines back their freedom. She moved to Nan County with the illegitimate daughters who were willing to follow her to start a new life. Now they run an embroidery shop, after all, this is the skill that everyone is best at.
Just before moving, the palace guards secretly found her and brought her to Tan Fuyao.
When she saw again the elder sister whom she once envied the most, she almost didn't recognize her as she looked haggard and ten years older. She was covered in scars, but she didn't feel scared. Instead, she felt relieved.
She could probably guess what kind of life Tan Fuyao had been living during that period. Seeing her ten fingers covered in blood, she knew that she must have been severely tortured.
Originally, she was worried that the Yun family would put pressure on her to rescue people, but it turned out that they didn't even bother to do the superficial work. Instead, they directly and publicly accused Tan Fuyao of abusing the name of the Yun family and stirring up trouble in Zhuocheng. Her words were full of disgust for her and an urgency to distance themselves from her.
At the same time, they openly announced that my mother and Tan Fuyao would be expelled from the family, and from then on the Youcheng Yun family would have nothing to do with the two of them... They were so shameless, heartless and cruel, they were indeed the chilling Yun family.
But she heard that they have been troubled by King Beirong recently, and she is looking forward to the fate of the Yun family!
Watching the two carriages go away, Tan Daixue picked up the basket on the ground and walked into the scenic area. Today she had to deliver the materials back to the shop first, and then go to Aunt Li's house next door to teach her granddaughter embroidery.
Oh, by the way, I heard there will be a fireworks show in the evening, she wants to take her mother and sisters to watch it...
Inside the carriage, Shen Yu and the other two were also talking about the Yun family. "I really don't understand what the Yun family is doing. They are such a two-faced family that casually treats their members as abandoned children. Is there really anyone who would be willing to work for them?"
Put yourself in her shoes. If she were asked to be loyal to such a family, it would be better for them to end it together. Who is afraid of who?
So she also admired Mrs. Tan's decisiveness. No one expected that she would collect so much evidence. Tan Chengyi thought that the letters, financial transaction details, and the transaction records of the name transfer of the house and shop, which had been destroyed long ago, could be traced back to ten years ago!
The Yun family underestimated the determination of a girl who was forced into marriage to seek revenge.
Lu Yingxing held her in his arms from behind with his hands on her belly, which was his favorite posture recently. "I won't let them have an easy time, don't worry!" After saying that, he gently kissed the top of her head.
"Take good care of yourself first and don't worry about these things. I know you are worried about the women of the Tan family, and I have taken care of them. Don't worry! They have opened an embroidery shop on your commercial street and are living a pretty good life."
"Well! That's good!" Shen Yu's mouth curled up. Of course, Lu Yingxing would not take the initiative to find out about these things. He knew that he would ask about them, so he settled them all in advance.
"Grandpa and the others...are they really coming over?"
Hearing the trepidation in her voice, Lu Yingxing became even more anxious. He raised his hand and gently stroked her cheek, "Well, it should be here now."
In fact, he could sense his wife's uneasiness, so he deliberately brought her out today. If she didn't want to see him, he would find an excuse to go back later. After all, the Su family had been in Zhuocheng for two months, but only Su Wei had actually shown up.
Although he was afraid that his granddaughter would blame the Su family for leaving, he didn't like anyone who could affect his wife's mood...
