Chapter 1234 - 1051: Return to Hometown
"What? My brother-in-law has been transferred out of Xiliang?!"
In the back courtyard of the Magistrate’s office in Jinwei Prefecture, Xiu Yi looked at Yan Yishuang with a face full of shock.
Yan Yishuang handed the letter in her hand to Xiu Yi: "My brother-in-law has to report to Huaichuan Prefecture by mid-March. There’s so little time that my sister couldn’t deal with the fields, estates, and pastures here. She wrote asking me to help look after things."
Xiu Yi read the letter swiftly; it merely mentioned briefly that You Kai was being transferred and asked Yan Yishuang to help keep an eye on the You Family’s properties here. It didn’t elaborate on anything else.
"How could this happen so suddenly?"
As one of the first batch of officials to establish the prefecture, coupled with the relationship with the Prince of Wei Yuan, their continued tenure was almost a certainty. The sudden transfer of You Kai truly shocked Xiu Yi to the extreme.
Yan Yishuang sneered: "What else could it be? It must be my wonderful second aunt and youngest sister offending my eldest sister. Ever since they came to Xiliang, I had a premonition that they would cause trouble."
"Over the years, the second branch of the family has caused many issues. Most of the time, our family didn’t hold it against them, but this time, even my second sister bore my eldest sister’s wrath, which shows how seriously they have offended her."
Xiu Yi sighed, thinking about the situation of the second branch of the Yan Family, and felt somewhat sorry for You Kai: "After all, You Kai has been dragged down by his own Yue Family."
Yan Yishuang expressed her agreement: "It’s really unfortunate for my sister to have such parents and a sister – because of her own family, her husband’s political career has been damaged. For the next few years, my sister won’t be able to hold her head high in her marital home."
