Passerby's Guide to Eating Watermelons

Chapter 213 Ancient World 30: Decision

Early the next morning, Ma Nanxiao asked for permission to go out and serve as an official. Since he had just entered the officialdom and his official position was not high, he followed the path of his father-in-law, the Shangshu.

When Minister Chen learned about this, he was naturally very angry.

However, he never got involved in the struggle for royal power. Although he felt sorry for his daughter, he could only endure it helplessly.

Now that I see that my son-in-law is willing to leave the capital and go to another place for his daughter, I can't help but praise him for his magnanimity.

So I opened up a path for him to go up and down without hesitation.

Although the place I went to was not very wealthy, it was not poor either. The most important thing was that the transportation to several surrounding places was quite convenient. Even if I encountered troubles sometimes, I could receive letters in time.

It was only at last that Wenchangbo learned that Ma Nanxiao was going out to serve as an official. Although he was somewhat reluctant, he did not say anything.

But the next words made him uneasy!

"Xiao'er has his own plans. I'm not in a hurry. But Yang'er is still young and not old enough to get married. I plan to send him to a local academy. My nephew happens to be there too, so the two of them can keep each other company."

Wenchangbo opened his mouth, but was too embarrassed to say anything.

Seeing his expression, Zuo Heling couldn't help but laugh at him, then continued, "Xin'er is still young, and I'm sick, so it's not convenient for me to take care of her. So I sent her to my brother's house, just in time for her to keep my niece company!"

"you……"

"Don't worry, Master. I've already packed their things. We just need to wait for them to leave!"

Uncle Wenchang understood that she wanted to completely cut off ties with his family.

"It's only a few months until the Chinese New Year, so let's just stay home!"

"Hmph!" Zuo Heling sneered, "Forget it! Even though our family is separated, as long as we're alive, at least we have something to think about! Otherwise, if we're separated by the Yin and Yang someday, even if I want to see my grandson again, I won't be able to do it!"

After hearing Zuo Heling's mocking words, although Wen Changbo wanted to say something, he never uttered it.

After all, he knew that his second daughter-in-law was poisoned, but he ordered everyone not to continue investigating.

After all, the person who poisoned Ma Nanfeng was undoubtedly Duan Xiangjun. Although she was willing to listen to her parents and arrange a concubine for Ma Nanfeng.

But he didn't want to see Chen Xiwen so happy.

Especially when she saw the newlyweds going in and out together, Duan Xiangjun couldn't stop feeling jealous.

So she bribed her servants to give Chen Xiwen drugs, hoping to make her health worse and make her suffer as well.

It’s a pity that he was discovered at the very beginning and his plan failed.

Duan Xiangjun was naturally scolded. Although she was under house arrest, she had enough food and clothing and was still the superior wife of the eldest son.

Zuo Heling didn't want her children to suffer from this forever, so she just left.

Zuo Heling had several farms as a dowry. Although she had not been there much in recent years, it would not be a problem to live there if she cleaned them up properly.

So on the next day, Ma Nanxiao first followed the Zuo family to send his younger brother Ma Nanyang to a college in another place.

After all, Zuo Qingyu was studying in another province, and the Zuo family would send people to check on him every now and then, so it was just right for them to stop by at this time.

Then Ma Nanxiao sent someone to send his sister Ma Xinxin to the Zuo family. It was originally agreed that his sister would be placed at the Zuo family, and their family members were very welcoming.

Finally, Ma Nanxiao personally sent Zuo Heling to the villa that came with her as a dowry. The place had been tidied up very neatly and there was no problem staying there for the time being.

After that, Ma Nanxiao took his men and left for the place where he was about to take office.

As for Chen Xiwen, although she wanted to leave with her husband, she had just been poisoned and was weak, so she had to recuperate in the capital for a while before leaving.

So she returned to her parents' home early, waiting to recover before leaving.

All of a sudden, the originally bustling Wenchang Marquis Mansion became quiet, but this quietness revealed a sense of weirdness.

If everyone didn't know what happened at the beginning, just from the series of events that day, they could understand the tragedy of the Wenchang Marquis' Mansion.

Being able to force all the concubines to leave without leaving a single one behind, one can imagine how biased this family is.

Although no one said anything openly, the evaluation of Wenchang Marquis' Mansion continued to decline.

It's just that everyone kept their mouths shut and didn't find out the truth of the matter. Even if someone wanted to use this to attack King An, there was no evidence.

There was no way out. The second master of Wenchang Earl's family went to work in another place, the third master went to school, and the youngest girl went to her brother and sister-in-law's house. Since she was very young, it was naturally impossible for her to go out and see people.

As for the wife of the Marquis of Wenchang, she was recuperating outside under the pretext of being sick, so naturally she could not see anyone.

The Zuo family is very tight-lipped and nothing can be found out, so even though there are rumors outside, there is no substantial evidence.

No matter how many rumors there are outside, the people of the Zuo family can sit still.

After all, this has nothing to do with her family. At best, the sister-in-law saw that her sister-in-law was sick and her daughter had no one to take care of her, so she took her in to stay for a while.

Anyway, everyone in the Zuo family likes this little girl very much.

Although Zuo Zhizhi knew that she had such a cousin, she didn't take it seriously because she was still young.

As for his sister-in-law Zhang Songlan, she thought that she had married into a rare and blessed home, and having one more little girl would just be more fun.

What's more, her main task now is to raise her son. Now she suddenly sees a little girl and she is very envious.

He paid out of his own pocket and gave her a lot of things suitable for a little girl from his dowry.

The whole family likes Ma Xinxin very much. No matter what happens outside, the house is always peaceful.

However, the hustle and bustle of the Wenchang Marquis's Mansion is so bustling that people may not get tired of it for a while. If nothing special happens, it may not calm down until the New Year.

The people of the Zuo family have also made plans. During this period, they will stay at home honestly and not go out unless necessary. Even if there are invitations sent by others, they will reject them all as long as they can!

But less than a month after this incident, another major event occurred!

The Sixth Princess had a miscarriage!

Compared with the affairs of the Wenchang Marquis' Mansion, the affairs of the Sixth Prince's Mansion are obviously more eye-catching!

Therefore, those who were originally keeping a close eye on the Wenchang Marquis’ Mansion immediately changed their stance.

After all, Wenchangbo was just an ordinary family in the capital. If he had not married Prince An's daughter, he would not deserve so much attention.

Everyone just said that these people were cruel and ruthless and wanted to completely eliminate the stepmother's lineage.

In addition, there was no evidence and the victim did not make any noise, so everyone just said a few words and let it go.

But it is a fact that the Sixth Princess had a miscarriage.

Moreover, it happened in public, so there is no room for excuses!
