Chapter 857 - 857: Do You Forgive Me?
Xue Yan stopped and didn’t speak.
“Are you still mad at me? Didn’t my sister apologize? She should have helped with the whole ordeal!” Shao Shuting squatted in front of them and smiled. “How about I tell you some good news so that you’ll forgive me, okay?”
Xue Yan and Jiang Yue looked at each other. It seemed like the Emperor’s plans followed through — the Ji family had fallen.
Shao Zhongxi also walked over.
Qiye naturally followed him over.
Shao Shuting had already fished out two letters from his sleeve; a silver note as well as a money pouch that contained more than ten silver was stuffed into Xue Yan and Jiang Yue’s hands. “This letter was written by Sanfu and Wufu. It’s a letter to your family. Sanfu earned this silver note. This money pouch contains your brother’s salary for the past few months. It’s all here. They said that they were in the military camp and didn’t need money anywhere. It would be a hindrance to carry it on them, so they asked me to bring it back for you.”
Jiang Yue took the two letters and put them in her arms. She went back to read them with her family. As for the silver notes and silver, Xue Yan would keep them first, and later give them to the family, letting the family keep them for now.
“What did Sanfu do?” Jiang Yue asked after putting away the two letters.
Xue Yan also looked at Shao Shuting expectantly.
They were more concerned about their brothers than the money.
Shao Shuting had known them for a long time. Of course, he knew this. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have mentioned this first. Shao Shuting quickly replied, “The Emperor did not do anything to the Ji family before. In fact, he had already planned this fifteen years ago, but everything had to be planned in secret. Finally, he decided to make a move. However, some of the old subordinates of the Ji family were stubborn and resisted. The Emperor was afraid of harming the people, so he ordered me to bring some people to help the West General and outflank those old subordinates. I brought Sanfu along with me. Did you know he was good at swimming? He jumped into the cold river and overturned the boat of an old subordinate and killed everyone crossing the river. It was all because of him that no one that worked for the Ji family survived. Anyway, he’s doing very well now, and so is Wufu. When you read the letter, they’ll definitely tell you more about it.”
“Thank you.” Finally, both Jiang Yue and Xue Yan gave in and thanked him.
As long as their brothers were safe.
“Oh right, I forgot to tell you guys,” Shao Shuting said hurriedly, afraid that they might want to leave. “Although the West General is Ji Xiehui, he is not a member of the Ji family but apparently is the Emperor’s man. Back then, Ji Xiehui became a beggar and was adopted by the Ji family. It was actually to trick Ji Xiehui. All these years, Ji Xiehui stayed in the Ji family mainly to gain the Ji family’s trust and slowly broke the Ji family down on the inside. The
Emperor did not want to harm any civilians so he did not make his move. Ji Xiehui naturally contributed greatly to this matter. He has already been conferred the title of the West General and will be in charge of that army..”
