Sun Xiumin did not expect that the Han family would suddenly tear apart the past that had been sealed for many years. It was the past that the Gao family could not face the most, and it almost ruined everything in the Gao family.

During the chaos in the Central Palace, the old Duke wanted to control the game. He held the military talisman in his hand and was in charge of the [-] soldiers and horses in the Gyeonggi camp. While Gao Zhiying was left to protect the prince in the Central Palace, he also suppressed the rescue soldiers in the Gyeonggi camp. The horse was delayed for an hour and set off, leaving enough time for the rebellious King Chen.

It's a pity that King Chen is a loser. For a full hour, ten thousand soldiers and horses fought against a thousand soldiers, but they failed to break through Gu Bingyi's defense line. Later, the rescue army arrived, and the old man did not dare to bear the name of rebellion. , then sent troops to serve the king. King Chen was completely defeated and died on the spot.

Later, when the crown prince ascended the throne, he only asked the old man to hand over the military talisman, regardless of his past mistakes. The old man relied on his young daughter's escort to follow the dragon and refused to hand over the military talisman. As a result, his Majesty issued three imperial edicts, and After discovering the fault of delayed rescue, the Gao family was wiped out and their life was like walking on thin ice.

It happened that Gao Zhiying and her childhood sweetheart Yang Xiu'an, who was still the eldest son of the Duke of Rong at that time, were planning to get married, and they chose an auspicious day to get married.

But the weather did not go as planned, and the house leaked and it rained all night. During the Qiao Qiao Festival, Cui's daughter Linlang fell in love with Yang Xiu'an at first sight. She couldn't marry him unless he was the king, and he couldn't court her. His majesty was disgusted with the Gao family. When the decision about the Gao family was pending, Cui Linlang He conspired with his sister Cui Fei to kill Gao Zhiying. What they did was despicable and shameless, even dirtier than putting someone to death. Gao Zhiying suffered humiliation, and the Yang family broke off the engagement.

At that time, the old man and his wife were still alive. Together with the three sons of the Gao family, they advocated letting Gao Zhiying commit suicide and lied about her death from illness in order to preserve the reputation of the Gao family.

Only Gao Jinying and his newly married wife Sun Xiumin interceded for her, hoping to save her life. They argued eloquently and forced the lives of the couple to save Gao Zhiying's life, and arranged for her to marry and follow Qin Lianghui.

Yang Xiu'an also married Linlang, the daughter of Cui's family.

Not long after that, the old Duke died of illness, and his wife fell ill due to grief and died. Immediately afterwards, Gao Chengming, Gao's eldest son and grandson, was arrested, and the Gao family was found guilty of numerous crimes. Some were beheaded, others were dismissed, and others were exiled. In exile, overnight, the Gao family collapsed like fine rocks and quicksand.

Gao Zhiying became a miserable woman trapped in the inner house, depressed and frustrated. Although she survived, the couple got tired of each other and lived side by side. Life was worse than death.

Su Yiling and Gu Bingyi, who also had the ability to protect the emperor, rose up step by step and gained power. The situation in the court was stable and the world was at peace. His Majesty may have thought of Gao Zhiying's ability to protect the emperor, and was angry at what the old Duke had done. , thinking of making up for it.

But at that time, Concubine Cui was favored and had given birth to a prince. She considered the art of balancing, not only to chill Concubine Cui's heart, but also to compensate for Gao Zhiying's role in protecting her, so she gave Gao Zhiying's achievements and glory to Gao Zhiying. Clan members who were dismissed were re-employed as officials, and those who were exiled were recalled to Kyoto.

Only Gao Zhiying is still a housewife with stains that cannot be washed away, but everyone in the Gao family understands that this is thanks to Gao Zhiying.

The only ones who are pitiful are women, but if Gao Zhiying is a solid man, how could he be reduced to this?

Han sighed and stirred the soles again. The fine needles pierced the soles and pulled the threads. The slight stinging sound accompanied Han's voice. "I sometimes think, if we had forced five people to death, Sister, the Gao family has been overthrown. There is nothing to be done and no one can save us. We are all going to hell. No one owes anyone, which is fair."

The soft sound is deafening.

Sun Xiumin never knew that Han had such thoughts. The shocked expression froze on her face. She stood up suddenly and wanted to leave, but she was unwilling to do so. "So, sister-in-law, you must help Ruizhi take revenge on my sister, right?" ?”

Han sneered, "I only protect Ruizhi, what do others have to do with me."

"Okay, very good." Sun Xiumin tossed his sleeves and left angrily.

Before they had gone far, Han's voice floated softly again: "Fourth brother and sister, if Ruizhi really dies in Whirlpool Ridge, do you think you and your wife will have a chance to leave Puzhou?"

Sun Xiumin's steps stagnated. She had never thought about such a problem.

Now that I think about it carefully, I can leave.

Gao Jinying left Puzhou not because of the emperor's grace, but because Su Yiling, an in-law of the Yan family, was promoted to prime minister and concurrently served as minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

Yan Yingzhu was going to marry into the Su family after all, and since she and Mrs. Yan were full-blooded sisters, she could always help.

Sun Xiumin wanted to understand, so he stopped staying and continued to move forward.

Han glanced at it, shook his head, put down his shoes, and raised his voice slightly: "Fourth brother and sister, why do you think that fifth sister will turn a blind eye to Ruizhi's death? You and your sister have broken bones and connected tendons. Sisters, Ruizhi is still the child of the fifth sister who was pregnant in ten months. She even gave up her light shuttle sword and didn't even care about her own life. If you really let Ruizhi die in Whirlpool Ridge, what do you think? Are the couple still alive to leave Puzhou?"

It's not whether you and your wife can leave Puzhou, but whether they and your wife are still alive?
Han walked up to Sun Xiumin with light steps, her eyes were stained with frost, and her words were cold. The sun was scorching, but listening to it made people feel cold from the soles of their feet.

"You and your wife have forced Fifth Sister to survive for so many years. Do you think Fifth Sister has no resentment in her heart? If there was no resentment, she would be content in the inner house and be a law-abiding wife. She would never fall into the trap of Yang Xiu'an and rebuild the old relationship. In the gentle trap, he fell into disrepute and was far away from Kyoto.

Comparing your feelings, if something like that happened to you, would you rather die and die, or would you rather live in a dark corner without being able to see anyone for the rest of your life?

Oh, by the way, you are just an ordinary housewife.Wu Mei was once a high-spirited and energetic young general who was famous in Kyoto. Everyone envied her and wished she could kneel down and become a subordinate. Now she can only live in a small courtyard in Puzhou and will not be able to set foot in half of Kyoto for the rest of her life. step.

Is it you, do you wish you were alive?So, what is she living for?For the Gao family?No, the Gao family has an unshirkable responsibility for her fall to this point.What is that for? "

What is that for?
Sun Xiumin shook his head in disbelief.

She always thought that the couple saved Gao Zhiying's life and raised her daughter. Gao Zhiying should be grateful to them.

But it seems not.

"What's that for?" Sun Xiumin asked.

Han smiled and said: "Of course it is for her children. As long as the Gao family is still rich, they can protect her children. Otherwise, Qing Yue will gamble badly and owe piles of gambling debts. The Gao family will Why should you pay him back? What you are paying back is not Qingyue’s gambling debt, but Wu Mei’s kindness.”
