Chapter 1 Jinyiwei Raids the House

Kyoto.

House of Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue.

The maid and mother-in-law were whispering to the eldest girl who was returning home for the first time, and she vaguely heard words such as fate... karma and so on.

The second lady, who was sitting on the right hand side of the eldest lady, said to the eldest lady with an unhappy look on her face, "Sister-in-law, the eldest lady has been living well in Xuanqing Temple. Why did you bring her back without saying anything?"

"I'm not saying that, her fate... you are not afraid of overcoming the madam..."

The eldest lady listened to the second lady's meaningful words, her face remained calm, but the veins on the back of her hand holding the teacup were bulging.

She quietly suppressed her anger, raised a gentle smile, and was about to say a few words.

Unexpectedly, a long-faced woman in green clothes rushed in from outside with a panicked expression, shouting in a panic, "Madam, it's not good, it's not good..."

When the eldest lady heard what the mother-in-law said, her face immediately darkened, "The eldest lady is sitting here properly, what are you shouting about..."

If she had heard the eldest lady's words normally, the old woman would have knelt down and apologized, but at this moment she didn't care at all. Instead, she rushed forward and said with a white face, "Madam, the Jin Yiwei came to us on orders. The Shangshu Mansion ransacked the house..."

"What are you talking about? Jin Yiwei came to ransack the house?" Ling Shangshu's expression changed and he suddenly stood up. The tea cup in his hand fell to the ground and broke into several pieces.

When the others heard this, they all looked surprised.

What happened? Why did Jin Yiwei come to ransack the house?

Before anyone could react, the commander of the Jin Yiwei, wearing a bright red python robe and a stern face, led a group of Jin Yiwei like wolves and tigers into the main hall of Yanhe Hall.

Seeing the Jin Yiwei with a solemn expression on his face, the scene suddenly became chaotic.

The younger ones were so frightened that they cried loudly.

When the second wife saw her little son turned pale with fright, she couldn't help but feel angry, "Sister-in-law, it's all your fault. Why did you bring the eldest daughter back? Taoist priest Mingzhen said back then that the eldest daughter has the fate of punishing her six relatives. You Someone just brought her back yesterday, and today Jin Yiwei came and ransacked her house..."

"Sister-in-law, what are you thinking about? Are you planning to let the eldest girl destroy our family?"

The third lady also frowned and said, "Sister-in-law, you really shouldn't have brought the eldest girl back without everyone's consent. It doesn't matter if she defeats us, but the juniors in the house are young and have just started their lives. How can you bear it? Let the big girl kill them all?"

"Isn't that right? Especially since the old man and his wife are old and have to face the tragedy of family destruction and death. How can you let them have the face to face the ancestors of the Ling family..."

The anger in the eldest lady's heart rushed straight to her forehead, but she could only suppress it tightly. With a look of distress and confusion on his face, he said, "After so many years, my fate must have been ruined long ago... Besides, Sister Chu is already old enough, so it's hard to stay in Xuanqing Temple any longer, I thought. Bring her back and help her choose a good marriage..."

When the second lady heard this, her voice was sharp and high-pitched, "Sister-in-law, I didn't expect you to be so vicious. The eldest girl's destiny is not just to harm our whole family, but you still want to marry her off and harm your husband's family as well? You Don’t be afraid of people coming to poke your spine…”

The eldest lady was accused by several sisters-in-law in front of this big pusher. The nails hidden under her sleeves pinched the palms of her hands, and she was shocked and angry in her heart.

Although Taoist Master Mingzhen's words were what she wanted, she actually disagreed with them. This time I brought people back, but I had other plans, but who knows...

Ling Chu stood aside and listened to everyone's words calmly, as if the malicious accusations made by the Second Madam and the others had nothing to do with her.

Ling Shangshu was angry in his heart. Before Commander Ning said anything, his own family started to get into chaos. He shouted angrily with a dark face, "Okay, you all should stop saying a few words."

Seeing that the second lady and the others had all shut up, Ling Shangshu turned to the commander of the Jinyi Guards and said, "Master Ning, what do you mean by bringing people into my house?"

Commander Ning glanced at him expressionlessly and said coldly, "Ling Shangshu, you are greedy for money and enrich your own pockets by reselling disaster relief grains. Your Majesty ordered me to inspect your residence."

"I don't know who framed this, but I dare to swear to God that I have always been honest and upright, and I have never embezzled more than half a tael of silver."

"It's not up to you to decide whether there is corruption or not. I am only responsible for checking. If Ling Shangshu has any grievances, just go to the emperor." After saying this, he waved his big hand towards the Jin Yiwei behind him and said, "Take everyone to the courtyard."

Ling Shangshu's anger rose, "Master Ning, I am a third-grade official after all. Is it too much for you to be so aggressive?"

The eldest master and the others were anxious and wanted to step forward to make a distinction, but Commander Ning ignored them.

Seeing that he was not accommodating at all, and those Jin Yiwei stepped forward to arrest people with cold expressions, the main hall immediately became a mess, and cries continued to sound.

The second lady was being dragged out by the arms of two royal guards. In a panic, she saw Ling Chu standing quietly aside, and the anger in her heart could no longer be suppressed.

With one force, he broke away from Jin Yiwei's pull and rushed towards Ling Chu, "You are a disaster star. You caused our house to be ransacked as soon as you returned home. Why don't you die..."

Ling Chu was originally facing a sudden house raid and was hesitating whether to take the opportunity to leave the Shangshu Mansion.

Facing the second lady who was charging at her fiercely, she instinctively wanted to kick her away.

However, at the critical moment, I remembered that the timing was wrong, so I could only quickly dodge to the side.

The second lady didn't expect that she would dare to dodge, nor did she expect that she would fall into the air and fall heavily to the ground.

Hearing the sound, Ling Chu took a breath.

It must be painful.

However, she had no sympathy for the second wife.

Her name is Ling Chu, but it can also be said that she is not.

Because she traveled through time.

Ling Chu is a modern person who was in a car accident and was treated in the hospital. It was a minor injury, but for some reason, after waking up, his soul traveled to this ancient time called Chongzhao Dynasty.

The original owner was also called Ling Chu, and she was the eldest daughter of the Shangshu Mansion.

Her father was the eldest master of the Shangshu Mansion, and her mother was the eldest lady.

In theory, she should have been the treasure in the hands of her parents and had a happy and fulfilling life.

However, this was not the case.

As long as the original owner could remember, she had been living in Xuanqing Temple far away from Kyoto.

It was not until ten days ago, after her fifteenth birthday, that the mansion sent someone to pick her up.

I thought that after returning to the Shangshu Mansion, the days ahead would be sweet after bitterness.

Who knew that on the way back to the mansion, they happened to encounter a landslide, and all the maids and servants accompanying them were killed or injured. The original owner was thrown out of the carriage, hit her head on a rock, and died.

And she traveled through time at that time.

At that time, she had just woken up from the original owner, and had not yet recovered from the tragic death of those maids and servants, when suddenly a deadly arrow flew towards her.

The reason why she was surprised when she saw the commander Ning was because he saved her life that day.

If it weren't for the fact that the commander of the Jinyiwei passed by the scene with his guards, the assassin was afraid of being exposed and hurriedly retreated. She might have been killed on the spot like the original owner.

But she didn't expect that the Lord Ning saved her life three days ago, but today he brought people to raid her house.

What kind of monkey shit is this?

Three million taels is not a small amount. Will the emperor cut down the entire Shangshu Mansion?

Long time no see, a new book is opened.

I hope all new and old friends will support me!

Throw flowers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
