Chapter 394 Zhu Jin teaches Jun Yuyang
Jun Yuyang didn't say anything else, but just pursed his lips. He still understood the principle of not advising others to do good without first experiencing their suffering.
Besides, every family has its own problems, so how can outsiders point fingers at them?
Zhu Jin glanced at Jun Yuyang, who looked a little guilty, and said with a grin:
"Since you helped me today, let me teach you a lesson.
My father had some knowledge in his life and he passed the imperial examination. He was chosen by His Majesty as the third place in the imperial examination and entered the Ministry of Revenue.
After ten years of hard study, he finally entered the official career, but his political achievements were mediocre and he came from a grassroots family, so his career as an official was not smooth.
This forced him to use some crooked ideas to find another way.
One year during the Dragon Boat Festival, the royal family held a dragon boat race in the moat.
My scumbag dad knew that many royal relatives would go to watch the game that day, so he dressed up and went to try his luck.
See if you can win the favor of some noble lady.
It’s just a coincidence that my mother and sisters rarely go out.
That day, a sudden inspiration came up and they decided to go to the moat to race dragon boats.
It rained around the Dragon Boat Festival, the shore was slippery, and my mother was very close to the river bank.
During the dragon boat race, the crowds of spectators surged like waves.
I don’t know who pushed my mother from behind, and she fell into the river.
None of my aunts knew how to swim, and they could only shout for help on the shore.
It was my scumbag father who jumped into the river and rescued my mother.
The two of them were pulling each other in the river, which was equivalent to physical contact. My grandfather had no choice but to marry my mother to my scumbag father.
My grandfather was the left prime minister. He couldn't bear to let his daughter marry such a mediocre man, so he had to support and recommend the scumbag father many times.
That's how my scumbag father climbed to the position of Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
However, his abilities are indeed limited.
After he reached the position of Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, even if my grandfather wanted to promote him, he could not achieve any achievements no matter what, so he had to stay in this position and could not make any progress.
When my mother was pregnant with me, he brought my aunt into the house.
The custom in our Daman is to have three wives and four concubines, so my mother didn't say anything.
My maternal grandparents were so angry that they wanted to go over to my house to make trouble, but they were stopped by my mother.
My mother was thinking at that time, even if her family members made a fuss, what would happen? In the end, she still had to move on.
You can't just divorce your husband just because he has a concubine, right?
It's true. People outside are spitting and spitting at her, saying that she is jealous.
Later, when my grandfather saw that my scumbag father was considerate to my mother and had no intention of favoring a concubine over his wife, he gave up.
Two years ago, my mother suddenly fell ill and died within a week after the doctor diagnosed her illness.
After my mother died, my scumbag father's true colors were revealed. Although I can't say that he abused me, it was true that he stingy with my money.
He turned a blind eye when my aunt used my mother's dowry.
He knew that my mother was already dead, and if he sent me back to my grandparents' home.
Then not only would my maternal grandparents have to take back my mother’s dowry, but they would also no longer be able to provide him with any help in the future.
So, he kept me under house arrest in his mansion.
Some time ago, there was a sudden rumor in the palace that the Queen was going to choose a concubine for the Crown Prince.
This concubine set her sights on the prince.
The Queen doesn't mind the woman's family background, and doesn't distinguish between legitimate and illegitimate children, as long as the Prince likes her it's fine.
That aunt really thought that the royal family didn't care about status, so she dressed Zhu Tingting up like a peacock and sent her to the palace to attend a palace banquet.
As a result, the concubines and illegitimate daughters of fourth-rank officials did not even have the chance to enter the palace.
As for me, no one informed me about the palace banquet at all, so I didn't go.
My aunt and her daughter were refused entry into the palace, which was a complete disgrace to the Zhu family.
Afterwards, I heard from a younger sister that the mother and daughter could not enter the palace, and they still wanted to establish a relationship with my maternal grandparents.
He was directly beaten back by the palace gate guards in disgrace.
After this incident, the concubine started to have evil thoughts.
I don’t know what she discussed with my scumbag father, but within two days, I was inexplicably knocked unconscious and sent to Jiangnan in a daze.
It was the day before yesterday when I finally woke up.
I gave a large sum of money to the maid in Yang's mansion and asked her to send the letter I wrote to my grandfather.
The Yang family is planning to arrange a marriage between me and my aunt's nephew today.
I took advantage of the fact that there were so many people at Yang's Mansion today and escaped.
You know what happened next.”
Jun Yuyang glanced at Zhu Jin who was still looking up at the sky and said:
"How do you know so much?
Also, how can you guarantee that the maid will help you mail the letter?"
Zhu Jin grinned, revealing a row of tiny teeth, "Hehe, the first half was said by my scumbag dad because he was drunk and I went to take care of him.
The second half, about me being sent to Jiangnan, was my guess.
You see, my scumbag father was at least a fourth-rank official.
His eldest daughter disappeared inexplicably for such a long time. Could it be that the thief who caused the rebellion has already been brought to justice, and I have been rescued and returned home?
Also, even if my scumbag dad doesn't care about me.
When my grandfather heard the news of my disappearance, he would definitely investigate and send someone to look for me.
But I arrived in Jiangnan smoothly.
What does this mean?
This means that my scumbag father never reported this matter to the authorities.
My maternal grandfather has been kept in the dark until now and has no idea that I was sent to Jiangnan to get married.
As for that maid, I understand that she is a servant who curries favor with the powerful.
Of course I couldn't guarantee that she had mailed the letter for me, but that was my only hope at the time.
Even if she didn't send it, I can't do anything to her.
But haven’t I escaped now?
I'll send another one later."
"Aren't you afraid that your aunt's nephew will kidnap you again?"
“I’m scared…
But life still has to go on.
You can't just seek death because of fear, right?
I have to keep my life and see what happens to my scumbag father and his aunt.
He still wants to curry favor with the prince. I think he is just dreaming.
Although I don't understand state affairs, I heard that the current emperor has a sharp eye and can see through everything. My scumbag father, that old thief, won't be around for many more years."
Jun Yuyang raised his eyebrows. It seemed that Zhu Jin hated her father very much.
"Even if your father has no political achievements, as long as he doesn't make any mistakes, he should be able to stay in that position until he retires."
"Hehe, of course he has the problem. I'll just wait and see how he kills himself."
"Do you have any leverage over your father?"
Zhu Jin slapped Jun Yuyang on the arm, blinked his left eye, and gave a thumbs-up.
“Really?
Why didn't you report your father for what he did to you?"
"Boy, you are so stupid, how did you grow up?
He is my biological father. I can help him to be brought to justice, but I must never let him fall into my hands.
If I report him, it would be a betrayal of my own family and I would be despised by everyone."
"Then tell your grandfather to bring him to justice."
Zhu Jin sighed and shook his head, “My scumbag father’s matter will inevitably implicate countless officials.
I don't want the Wei family to get involved in this mess. My grandfather is old and will have to go home to enjoy his retirement in a few years.
My uncle and cousin both work in the court, and I don't want them to take risks.
The emperor is so smart, he can conceal the deeds of my scumbag father and those parasites in the court for a while, but can he conceal them forever?"
"I'm very curious. You are so sure that your father will be in trouble soon. What evidence do you have about him?"
Zhu Jin stretched his head and looked around in the alley, then bent down mysteriously and took out two blue account books from his boots.
She raised her eyebrows, and proudly waved the book in front of Jun Yuyang's eyes twice, "Look, he was drunk, and I went to take care of him, and it fell out when I was taking off his clothes.
I hid it quietly.
The next day, he came to question me and asked me if I saw the two blue account books when I was taking off his clothes.
Of course I denied it all. I said that when he came back, his shirt was torn and his waistband was gone."
At this point, Zhu Jin covered his mouth and laughed like a cunning little mouse.
"Let me tell you, his expression was extremely ugly at that time.
For the next few days, the family was extremely angry. "
Jun Yuyang narrowed his eyes and looked at the two blue books in Zhu Jin's hands. "You just carry them with you like that, aren't you afraid that your father will find out?"
"Tsk, that old thief went to search my room without telling me.
It is safest only when it is placed on my body. I will not let this treasure out of my sight even when taking a shower.
I was afraid that they would run into my room in the middle of the night and steal things, so I would tie the things to my chest even when I slept.
Originally, I wanted to send these two account books to the Dali Temple anonymously.
But, I am also worried that they will protect each other and directly confiscate the book.
Apart from my maternal grandparents, I have no one I can trust.
So, the matter was shelved.”
Zhu Jin bent down and put the account book back into his boots.
"Okay, okay, after talking so much to a stranger like you, I feel much better.
Goodbye, and see you again in the future."
"Hey, girl, wait a minute." Jun Yuyang called Zhu Jin again.
"Any thing else?"
"It's really unsafe for a girl like you to wander around outside like this.
My name is Yin Yang. My family is a merchant in the capital, and our businesses are spread all over the countries of Daman.
This time we are out to inspect our family's Jiangnan industries. Our next stop will be Licheng to handle some things, and then we will return to the capital.
My father is particularly familiar with Prime Minister Wei, and he often helps my father deal with some matters.
Why don't you come with us, girl? You can also take some photos on the way.
Don't worry, I will write a letter and send it to the capital as fast as I can to give it to Prime Minister Wei and inform him of the situation."
Zhu Jin looked at Jun Yuyang with some surprise, "You really know my grandfather."
Familiar, how could it not be familiar? It’s too familiar.
He was engaged in verbal battles with me in the court all day long, and sometimes I was worried that I would make the old man die of anger.
"Of course I know him. Many things in our family still rely on Lord Wei."
"Then tell me about my grandfather."
