Chapter 407 Chapter Zero Six Refuses to Accept His Fate
In the small courtyard next to the main courtyard of the Zhou family's third bedroom, Zhou Yijun told Haitang the news she had learned, and couldn't help crying again: "Now my grandfather knows that the old lady did do those things, and she did it before the old lady was alive. He thinks It was impossible for the old man to be ignorant, but he still tolerated it. Now the court wants to pursue us, the third wife, for this, and we deserve it. My grandfather doesn’t want to continue the investigation, and just wants to wait for death. He refuses to do anything, and he refuses to let us tell What can the eldest brother, the other clan members, my grandmother and I do?"
Zhou Yijun was still young and had never experienced this kind of dilemma. Facing her grandfather who was completely ruined and her grandmother who was sick and worried, she was helpless no matter how much she wanted to struggle. Her parents and brothers are far away in Ningxia, and Mrs. Ma is the culprit. Her son Zhou Shicheng is far away in Minzhou Wei, and Zhou Jinpu, who stays at home, can't survive at all. Zhou Jinpu's wife Chen wants to get away from each other. The children are busy trying to persuade and persuade their parents, so how can they hope for anything?
If Zhou Wenjun was still in Chang'an, Zhou Yijun could discuss it with his cousin, whom he had always been close to and convinced of, but the former had already left for Ganzhou. As for the elders in the eldest house, it was impossible for her to contact them without going out, and her grandfather would stop them when she went out. If it weren't for the Hai family's grandparents coming to her door, she wouldn't even be able to find anyone to complain to, not to mention how troubled she would be.
But now, she told Haitang what she was worried about, and she felt a little more relaxed, but the problem has not been solved yet. She was really pessimistic about her prospects. The girl suddenly encountered a desperate situation, feeling scared and resentful in her heart. Her eyes were full of confusion, and she didn't know where to go.
After hearing what she said, Haitang frowned and thought for a while before asking a question: "Why would Mrs. Ma do such a thing?"
Zhou Yijun shook her head weakly: "I don't know...if it's for money, the old man was still there at that time, and our three-bedroom properties were all running well, so there was no shortage of money at all. Besides, the account books and pamphlets that the mother-in-law kept privately The amount of money recorded in the book cannot be said to be a huge sum. Our family's annual output from the mountains, forests and fields alone is more than that amount. In the past few years, the old lady made new clothes and jewelry every year, and she could almost spend it. A lot of money. If she said she did such a head-shattering thing because she was short of money, who would believe it? She had such a rich dowry back then, how much money could she still need?"
But according to the confession of Mrs. Ma's confidant, she only received so much money from the Hu spies and merchants. Mrs. Ma was generous at that time and rewarded the people around her with the money. The woman herself got a few hundred taels, so she was very impressed. She also wrote down the name of the businessman and the amount of money because she thought it was weird and didn't understand why Mrs. Ma would risk doing something like that even though she didn't care about the money.
Zhou Yijun told Haitang in a low voice: "My grandmother and I discussed this matter, and we were both a little suspicious of Mrs. Ma's origins. She was a woman of unknown origin, and she only settled in Chang'an because she was adopted by Mrs. Ma's family as an adopted daughter. Everyone in the world is confused. It was said that she was a daughter of a noble family in the capital, but her family had suffered a disaster, so she had to live in a foreign land. Judging from her appearance, words and deeds, she did not look like a commoner, and she was clearly well-educated. Grandma still believed in that rumor. But if the old lady is really of such a background, there can always be some rumors in the capital, right? Besides, she has no reason to facilitate the Hu spies... If we say that she is a spy, she was carefully cultivated by the Hu people, and she wants to marry someone. General, it makes sense to steal military aircraft intelligence! But in this case..."
In this way, the old aunt of the Ma family, who is Mrs. Ma's adoptive mother, will be involved. Will the Ma family also be implicated?
Zhou Ma didn't dare to think deeply, and Zhou Yijun couldn't guess any more. She still couldn't believe that the old man, who was as wise and mighty as a god in the eyes of everyone in Sanfang, would really marry a female spy and pamper her in the palm of his hand for decades, allowing her to secretly communicate with the barbarians. Sell out information and do nothing to stop it.
Doesn't that mean that the third family of the Zhou family is becoming more and more hopeless and is facing death? !
Seeing Zhou Yijun's eyes turn red again, Haitang couldn't help but frown again. Of course she knew that Mrs. Ma was not a female spy carefully cultivated by the Hu people, but Song Yuzhu, the daughter of the royal family.
When Song Yuzhu was a boy, he did have dealings with barbarians. She became infatuated with the Hu prince who was sent to Dachu as a hostage. She did not hesitate to sneak into the study of her fiancé's house to steal military secrets in order for him to return to China and ascend to power. Haitang was still working as a nun in the clan's palace at the time. After discovering the truth, she informed the family in charge of the palace and promptly stopped Song Yuzhu's actions. As a result, Song Yuzhu was abandoned by her parents, broke off her engagement, and was sent to the countryside to "recuperate". She became an abandoned child of her family, and her sweetheart, the Hu Ren Prince, no longer paid attention to her. She grew hateful because of love and took revenge on her lover and family. The Hu prince was injured and disfigured, fled in a hurry, and returned to his homeland. He later became the old Khan King who hated Chu and repeatedly started wars, triggering decades of turmoil on the border between Chu and Hu.
Haitang was poisoned and silenced by her employer's family shortly after Song Yuzhu was sent to the countryside. Therefore, she does not know what happened next or what Song Yuzhu did to her family. However, with Song Yuzhu's consistent thoughts and character, she would not put the interests of the country and the people at heart for her own benefit. As long as she can achieve her goal, she doesn't care what harm the soldiers and civilians on the border will suffer. As a clan girl, and one that Haitang had carefully educated for several years, Haitang was not expecting that she would develop such a temperament.
Haitang can only confirm now that Mrs. Ma - the former Song Yuzhu - is definitely not a spy trained by the Hu people, and it is impossible for her to work for the Hu people for money. She must have her own purpose.
But... how did the Hu spies find her?
After Song Yuzhu took revenge on her family and lover, she fled privately, abandoned her original identity as a clan daughter, adopted someone else as her adoptive mother, changed her name, and came to live in Chang'an. Even her close relatives don't know her whereabouts. Is it possible that the old barbarian Khan can still find out her whereabouts?
If the old Hu King Khan didn't know that his old lover had married into the Zhou family, and threatened her with the past to help, then why did Mrs. Ma, as the respectable mother of the third house of the Zhou family, work for the Hu spies? Not to mention it was for money, the so-called bribe money was more like used to prevaricate outsiders, and it was not worthy of Mrs. Ma's status at all.
Could it be that Mrs. Ma had some reason to fall into the hands of Hu spies?
Haitang thought so hard that her head hurt, but there were too few clues, and she was not sure which of her ideas could be close to the truth.
Haitang gritted her teeth and said to Zhou Yijun: "Do you have a way to get Madam Ma or her confidants to speak? Only they know the truth about what happened back then. If they don't tell the truth, we can just guess here. It's useless. But if they are willing to speak, they may be able to ask for some useful clues. We can use these clues to find out more people who are colluding with Hu spies. If we can hide the Hu people in Dachu, If all the secret spies are caught, the credit will be even greater. Maybe you, the third wife, will be able to make meritorious service and have your charges reduced."
After hearing this, Zhou Yijun hurriedly threw away the veil and said seriously: "If I can really get a chance to survive, I will do anything! If I die for something that has nothing to do with me, I will have to bear the burden of a collaborator with the enemy after my death." I don’t want to accept my fate no matter what!”
