Chapter 126 Letter from the Son-in-law

"I'll submit a letter in a few days. It's time to retire."

"Dad, is it so urgent?"

"Zhongkai, we must understand the emperor's will. He who knows the current situation is a hero. Your father and I are not short of those few months. If you are promoted, you will be the Minister of Justice. If your father does not step down, the emperor will not allow two ministers in the same family."

"this………"

"Old Master, my son-in-law sent someone from Lincheng to deliver a letter to the young lady."

"Isn't my daughter in Lincheng? Why did she send a letter to Yuecheng? What's going on?"

"Dad, maybe Cheng Rui doesn't know Qian'er is in Lincheng."

"Isn't this a joke? Your sister has been in Lincheng for more than ten days to provide disaster relief, and he, as a husband, didn't even know about it and even sent a letter here. It's ridiculous!"

Old Minister Zeng was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and waved his hand to let the servant who delivered the letter go back. He was already in his forties, and it was really shameless to watch.

"Dad, if my sister wants to divorce, can you let her come back to live with me?"

"Who was it that insisted on getting married in the first place? You must be regretting it now! We already have two children, so we'll just have to make do with what we can. Anyway, the man isn't that great, but he kept his word and didn't take a concubine.

Hey! What's that expression on your face? It's not like I don't agree. Why should I owe her a meal? If you really want to divorce, come back and live in the original courtyard. I'll keep it anyway."

Old Minister Zeng was just angry because he had always treated his daughter like his darling. How could he not feel distressed when such a delicate and gentle girl was married so far away and was not cherished?

"Dad, you are just being stubborn. Everyone has blind eyes sometimes. As long as my sister likes it, it's fine."

"Let's not talk about this anymore. How's the investigation into your sister's poisoning going?"

"The main witness was killed. I know who the murderer is, but I have no evidence. His men have disappeared recently. If they were not silenced, they must have gone into hiding."

"Is it the seventh...? Then he wouldn't have committed only this one crime. Look for him elsewhere. Be careful."

The old Minister Zeng made a gesture and Zeng Zhongkai nodded.

"Son understands, Dad is relieved."

----

"Big sister, Lincheng is now stable, and the supplies have been distributed almost completely. Recently, many disaster victims are eager to return home, and the flood in Yicheng has long since receded.

If the disaster victims were to return home, the pressure on Lincheng would be relieved. After all, with so many disaster victims and refugees pouring in all at once, there would be overcrowding everywhere, which could easily lead to trouble.

The remaining supplies can be placed in your shop in Lincheng and sold to the poor at a low price. The money earned can be used to subsidize the travel expenses of the victims who are willing to return to the city.

What do you two think of this arrangement? Of course, those who want to receive travel expenses and resettlement assistance need to go to the government office to get an application form and apply for a travel allowance to return to the city.

After we receive the consent letter stamped by the government office, we will give each person two taels of silver in aid. You must leave Lincheng within ten days of receiving the aid."

Shangguan Yue told Zeng Qianer and Chen Bianbian what to do next in one breath, because they had been in Lincheng for more than half a month.

In addition to the fact that there are too many people in Lincheng now, food is not a problem, but housing is really difficult. So now that the flood in Yicheng has receded and everything is slowly returning to normal, the right thing to do is to let the victims return home as soon as possible.

"This is a good method. When distributing supplies, we found that many people had to leave their homes. Now that the disaster is over, most people want to return to their hometowns."

Zeng Qianer also understood that no one wanted to leave their hometown unless it was absolutely necessary.

"Wow! Can I finally go home? If I don't go back, I won't have anywhere to put Shangguan Yannas letters. He writes one letter every day. I don't know where he gets so much to say."

Chen Bianbian was indeed quite annoyed. It was never as convenient as his own home in Lincheng, and Lincheng was not as prosperous as Yuecheng. After all, Yuecheng was the imperial city, at the feet of the emperor, and the environment was much better.

There were disaster victims and refugees everywhere, so she didn't dare go out. Even if she went out, she would cover her face like Zeng Qian'er. Lincheng was so chaotic, she was afraid of death.

Although it's annoying to receive a letter from Shangguan Yan every day, there's nothing to do here to entertain myself. It's quite interesting to read his letters every day. He can even write jokes, which is so funny.

He has been distributing relief supplies in Lincheng every day and has almost become a robot. I haven't seen him for more than ten days. As a new official, he has a lot to do.

"Just show off! You really don't want my elder sister to live. She is still in a cold war with Cheng Rui!

By the way, big sister, aren't you going back to Cheng's house? If you don't want to see Cheng Rui, then you don't want to see Yu'er and Heng'er either?"

"Those two ungrateful bastards, I raised them to such an age, but they never said a word to me. They have been studying for several years, but they have never written a single word for me. They are just like their father, with ruthless hearts and evil deeds."

Thinking of those three people, Zeng Qian'er felt a hidden pain in her heart. It is said that people are made of flesh and blood, and their efforts will be rewarded, but she was busy every day, worried that they would be cold or hungry.

They were content to serve her with delicious food and drinks, and never cared whether she was cold or hungry, uncomfortable or happy.

She saw it clearly. The stone could be warmed up. They were just heartless people. Since it couldn't be warmed up, why should she go out of her way to get angry?

She no longer has to shoulder the burden, and they can do whatever they want. She also wants to live a fulfilling and self-respecting life like her second and third sisters, with someone who loves and cares for her and cares about her.

Life is so short, she can't waste it in this backyard taking care of her husband and children and not getting a good life. She also needs to develop her own career and hobbies, and find something to do, which is the purpose and goal of life.

"Yeah, that's right, the naughty kid just needs a lesson. There's nothing we can do about it. They have the highest status in Lincheng, so of course they look down on everyone. You're just a nanny, and they don't take you seriously at all.

If they were in Yuecheng, they would probably cry every day, with so many high-ranking officials and royal family members! Am I a bad person? I really want to see them crying because they are bullied. "

"Xiaoyue, you're not bad, because you count me in. Big sister, you really don't want to go back? Don't you dare to go back?"

Chen Bianbian was very surprised. Zeng Qianer returned to Lincheng, but she didn't even enter her home?

“I don’t know, it’s a bit awkward, it just feels like I went back to my parents’ home after a fight, but my husband didn’t come to admit his fault, comfort me, or pick me up.

If I ran back in shame, I would feel so ashamed! The most important thing is that I don’t know how to face him, but I don’t have the same problem with the two ungrateful people.

But I don’t know how to educate them when I go back, so… forget it, I’ll talk about it later!”

Zeng Qian'er is very conflicted. Sometimes she wants to go back to see her children, and sometimes she is very reluctant to go back.

"We still have to hand over the disaster relief work to Cheng Rui, and we haven't told him about the aid yet. Big sister, why don't you go talk to him about it!

Also meet the children by the way. If the naughty children don't change for the better, you should give them a taste of their own medicine. You can still spoil them at home, but not everyone can spoil them elsewhere."

"You want me to go and tell him... No."

"don't want?"

Shangguan Yue and Chen Bianbian stood with their hands on their waists and glared at Zeng Qianer.

"Just go! You can't...lose a piece of meat!"

Zeng Qianer immediately gave in.
