Queen of flowers - chapter 85

Li Xunzi went to get the yellow calendar happily, and handed it to Zhou. Zhou decided to move three days later.

The Yong family was elated.

Yong Qiao and Yong Miao were fortunate to finally be able to go to school. Yong Miao had already imagined that he had become a Jinshi and after becoming an officer everyone ate delicious food.

Several people in the Yong family were happy because their living conditions would be greatly improved after moving.

The next day, Zhou sent Yong Qiao, Yong Miao and Li Xunzi to see the new house.

When Yong Qiao and Yong Miao returned, they boasted about the size, layout, furniture, beds and other things of the new house. They wished to live in the new house immediately. They also went to Mr. An’s house door, but ran away; they didn’t have the courage to get closer.

On the day of the move, Feng Liao sent a lot of staff. The Yong family had a few things to move. They easily moved away, so that those neighbors who wanted to help weren’t needed.

Watching the Yong family drifting farther, the neighbors talked about it. All eyes were green with envy, saying that the Yong family had a good daughter, born with a rich life.

Another neighbor came over and asked the old servant who was kept to watch the house, ‘Is the Yong’s house being sold?”

As long as the Yong family was willing to sell the house he also wanted to buy it. Because of the good Feng Shui* of this house. It had already raised the Yong family to heaven!

(feng shui- energy; Chinese geomancy)

The old servant pretended to be deaf and dumb, and stared, ‘How can I know what Wang Ye is thinking? I’m just looking at the house!’

Zhou did not invite her former neighbours to their new home, because Feng Liao had invited the Xingjun Wangfu’s officials and their families to go to the new home.

Two people with such disparate statuses could not really sit together. In the future, if they got the opportunity, she would just invite the ones who were closer to their family.

Yong Ruo also followed Feng Liao to the new house.

Looking at the excited and joyful expressions on her family’s face, she felt heartfelt joy.

When the crowd was happy, the gatekeeper came to report, “The Shuntian* officer came!”

Zhou’s face paled when she heard that the governor was coming.

Yong Ruo quickly comforted her, “Don’t worry about it! It’s about the Wei family’s downfall! A Shuntian officer is coming to meet the victims!”

Zhou Shi turned her head to look at her, and said after a while, “The Wei family’s downfall?”

Yong Ruo nodded, “A Shuntian officer is now investigating the Wei family’s illegal affairs, and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and Yushitai have sent officials to supervise. Mother, Father was wronged!”

She looked at Zhou with a little anxiety. She had been reluctant to tell Zhou. She just wanted to wait for her to get better. This news would stimulate her, making her extremely sad.

Zhou stayed there like a wooden person.

After a while, her mouth twitched, and she seemed to want to laugh. But before that laughter had time to unfold, it became an unstoppable cry.

Tears quickly gathered in her eyes …

Her whole strength seemed to be vacated by the sudden good news, and she couldn’t stand completely, and fell to the ground. Yong Ruo and Li Xunzi couldn’t help her on time.

“The Wei family fell? The Wei family who caused my husband’s demise fell?” Zhou Shi sat weakly on the ground.

In an instant, the tears in her eyes, like broken beads, kept rolling down …

Yong Ruo sat down on her knees in front of her, holding her hand, she said, “Mother, cry out if you want to cry! Don’t hold back …”

She couldn’t go on, because she wanted to cry too! She couldn’t bear it, and she shed tears with Zhou, “Our family has been suffering long enough!”

Yong Qiao also burst into tears, rushing over and holding Zhou’s other hand to cry.

Yong Miao was still young. He didn’t understand the resentment between his family and Wei’s family. He only saw his mother, brother and sister crying. Panic rose in his heart, he came over and cried as well.

The cries of Zhou’s gradually grew louder. In between the crying, she laughed.

Suddenly she looked up at the sky, she cried, laughed and shouted sternly, “Old man! Did you see it? God opened his eyes! Heaven opened its eyes! Those dogs of the Wei family should be killed by thousands of swords*. They are going to suffer retribution … haha! Retribution, … these dogs would suffer retribution … “

(Thousands of swords: Cut the meat away from the bone, cut off the flesh of the criminal and execute it. Describe sin as great, and death can’t punish)

The four cried, while people around wiped their own tears from the emotional scene.

Feng Liao crouched down and gently patted Yong Ruo’s shoulders as a comfort.

After they cried enough, Feng Liao persuaded, “Why cry and hurt your body! Let’s stop crying and listen to what the Shuntian officer has to say!”
