There is Room For the Poor Daughter

Because of Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai's return, Mrs. Li knew that her younger son was thinking about Su Shiyu, so she took a few children to Su's house again, so she stayed in the provincial capital for a few more days.

On the day Daohua and her party went to Su's house, Su Shiyu also posted a message to Dong Yuanyao, inviting her to gather at Su's house, but Dong Yuanyao refused.

"Yuanyao doesn't know what happened recently. It's happened several times. I invited her in a post, and she pushed it." Su Shiyu said while pulling Daohua.

Daohua frowned: "When I came to the provincial government this time, I found that Yuan Yao has changed a bit. In the past, Yuan Yao's eyes were shining and her face was smiling. This time I saw a little more between her brows. sad."

Su Shiyu nodded: "Yuan Yao has something on her mind."

Daohua: "She said she didn't want to go back to Beijing."

Su Shiyu: "If it were me, I would be reluctant. After all, Yuan Yao can be said to have grown up in Zhongzhou."

Daohua was silent for a while: "I always feel that Yuanyao doesn't want to go back to Beijing, not only because of reluctance. Maybe it's because he was frightened by Brother Dong's marriage, and worried that after returning to Beijing, his family will force her to arrange a marriage for her. Unhappy marriage."

Hearing this, Su Shiyu sighed: "Since ancient times, major marriage matters have followed the words of the matchmaker ordered by our parents, and we have never been able to make our own decisions."

The Su family and the Dong family communicate quite frequently, and they also live in the provincial government. They have heard about Dong Yuanxuan's situation more or less.

She also sighed when she thought that the gentle and elegant young gentleman was now as thin as a bamboo pole.

At this moment, she sincerely thanks her for having a pair of parents who dote on her, and she is very grateful to God for letting her meet Wen Kai who can be entrusted to her for life.

The two chatted for a while, and suddenly, Su Shiyu's maid Mo Shu hurried over with panic on her face.

Su Shiyu: "What happened?"

Mo Shu breathed heavily and said, "Senator Du's house was surrounded by a group of officers and soldiers, saying that it was the emperor's order to raid their house."

Hearing this, Daohua and Su Shiyu showed shock on their faces at the same time.

Daohua hurriedly asked, "Have you heard what happened to the Du family?"

Moshu shook his head.

Su Shiyu stabilized her mind, stood up, and took Daohua to the main courtyard.

At this moment, both Mrs. Su and Mrs. Li have also heard that the Du family was raided. Not only the Du family, but also the homes of many other officials were surrounded, and they were a little scared.

There is no way, such a large-scale house raiding incident that has not been disclosed in advance, one may be implicated if one is not careful.

When Daohua and Su Shiyu arrived, Mrs. Su took Mrs. Li to the yard of the old lady of the Su family to check on the situation.

"We're going to Grandma's too."

Daohua held Su Shiyu back: "I'm afraid the adults are not in the mood to pay attention to us at this moment. Let's go to my third and fourth brothers. They may know something."

Su Shiyu nodded and took Daohua to Su Hongxin's yard.

Fortunately, the two came quickly and happened to meet Yan Wenkai, Yan Wentao, and Su Hongxin who were going out.

Yan Wenkai: "Why did the two of you come to the front yard, go back quickly, there is chaos outside now."

Daohua hurriedly asked, "Third and fourth brothers, what happened outside?"

Yan Wenkai smiled and said, "Some officials have committed crimes and their homes are being raided now."

Su Shiyu looked shocked: "A lot of officials have their homes raided at the same time?"

Yan Wenkai: "Not many, just a dozen or so."

Yan Wentao saw Daohua's worried face, and reassured: "Don't worry, it has nothing to do with our family."

Although she knew that the high probability had nothing to do with her family, Daohua breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Yan Wentao's firm words.

Daohua was relieved, but Su Hongxin on the side was a little frowning.

This time, the emperor ordered a thorough clean-up of the Eight Kings' party members in the three provinces of Zhongzhou, Fenxi, and Jiguang. Although the Su family was not a member of the Eight Kings' party members, a concubine's house was involved, and the Su family would still be implicated.

Su Shiyu noticed her brother's expression, and immediately raised her mind: "Is there going to be something wrong with our family?"

Seeing that his fiancée was frightened, Yan Wenkai quickly stepped forward to comfort him: "Don't be afraid, your family will be fine."

Looking at Yan Wenkai's determined eyes, Su Shiyu's heart slowly fell back to her stomach.

Yan Wentao: "Okay, let's go back, let's go to the street to see what's going on."

Daohua said quickly, "I'm going too."

Su Shiyu also wanted to go out and have a look, and said, "And me."

Yan Wentao showed his disapproval: "The street must be very chaotic now. You two girls go out and worry about being bumped into."

Daohua: "No, there are the third and fourth brothers, and the elder brother Su who is protecting us. How could we be bumped into?" After speaking, she shook Su Shiyu's arm and motioned her to ask her fourth brother for help. .

Su Shiyu was a little embarrassed, but in order to be able to go out, she still looked at Yan Wenkai eagerly.

Yan Wenkai really couldn't refuse Su Shiyu, and immediately smiled: "Aiya, third brother, you are too careful, with us here, you won't hurt Shiyu and the eldest sister."

Daohua and Su Shiyu nodded.

Yan Wentao looked helpless: "Then you are not allowed to run around."

After that, Daohua and Su Shiyu followed Yan Wentao to the street.

The Du family was right next to the Su family, and when Daohua and the others came out, they happened to see the male family members of the Du family come out with handcuffs and anklets being escorted by officers and soldiers.

There were many people standing around watching, and many people applauded.

The Du family usually relied on the power of Senator Du, and they were often domineering. Now that the Du family has collapsed, everyone is naturally eager to applaud.

"Let go of your dirty hands, I'm the Senate lady, who gave your dog the courage to pull me?"

Mrs. Du didn't seem to be able to accept the fact that the Du family was raided, and she didn't deserve to be with the officers and soldiers.

This annoyed the officers and soldiers. He raised his hand and slapped Mrs. Du's face in the face, knocking Mrs. Du to the ground. Not relieved, she stretched out her legs and kicked her fiercely.

"Mother."

The girl from the Du family saw her mother fall to the ground, and hurriedly stepped forward to help her.

Officers and soldiers blocked and pulled, not only intentionally or unintentionally, but directly tore Miss Du's clothes.

"what!"

When Mrs. Du saw it, she ignored the punches and kicks that fell on her body, and rushed over to hug the terrified girl Du.

The men of the Du family looked at them with dejection and despair, while the female family members stood shivering and no one dared to step forward.

After the officers and soldiers were out of breath for a while, other officers and soldiers stepped forward to stop them.

"Damn, let me be honest, don't think that you are some kind of high-ranking lady or young lady. Now you are prisoners, and you can suffer less from skin and flesh if you know each other."

The officers and soldiers spit at Madam Du, and then walked away with a bad look on their faces.

"Keep going!"

Seeing the former noble lady and Miss Jiao being rudely pulled and shoved by officers and soldiers, and lecherous officers and soldiers taking advantage of the opportunity from time to time, Dao Hua and Su Shiyu both looked very bad.

Because he was familiar with the Du family, Su Shiyu didn't want to read more, so Yan Wenkai saw and left with everyone.

As soon as they reached the house of the next official who was raided, Daohua and the others heard heart-wrenching cries coming from the walls.

"Let go of me, you beasts, ah, help, lord, help!"

Hearing this cry, Daohua and Su Shiyu's faces turned pale.

"How did you bring them out?"

With an obviously angry voice sounding from behind, when Yan Wentao and the three turned their heads, they saw Xiao Yeyang who was looking at them gloomily.

Xiao Yeyang glared at the three of them fiercely, then walked to Daohua, covered her ears with his hands, and walked away from here without caring about the others.

Yan Wentao and the three did not expect to encounter such a thing, so they quickly left with Su Shiyu.

It wasn't until he was far away from the house and could no longer hear the screams, Xiao Yeyang let go of Daohua, seeing that Daohua's face was not very good, he was dissatisfied: "You like to join in no matter how busy you are, what's so good about raiding the house? ?"

Daohua lowered her head and spoke after a while: "Is no one in charge of those officers and soldiers?"

Xiao Yeyang: "I want to punish those who commit crimes, how could they possibly care."

Daohua: "But those female relatives are innocent."

Xiao Yeyang sneered: "Innocent? How can there be an innocent person who enjoys glory and wealth before committing a crime, and must be punished accordingly after committing a crime."

Daohua was silent for a moment: "If you copy so many officials, will they all be killed?"

Xiao Yeyang shook his head: "First escort him to Beijing, and after the interrogation in Dali Temple, he will be exiled lightly and beheaded seriously."

Daohua: "The same is true for female relatives?"

Xiao Yeyang hesitated for a while, and after thinking about it, he still told Daohua: "Apart from the direct line, other female relatives will be used as official slaves or official prostitutes."

Hearing this, Daohua couldn't help but shuddered.

The fate of ancient women is really tied to her husband's family and her parents' family, and it has been interpreted to the extreme.
