Chapter 9 The Year

Uncle Guan was dumbfounded. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Knowing the son Mo Ruomu. Mrs. Guan discovered the strangeness of her son's words and deeds in the Qin family, and guessed that there must be something inside here, which was inconvenient in front of the Qin family, so she also cooperated with her son's daughter-in-law's statement, got off the donkey down the slope, and mixed up the matter. But now that she has returned home, none of the people present are outsiders, and her nephew Wu Shaoying can also be trusted, she can't let this mystery continue to haunt her, she must know the truth!

Wu Shaoying actually found out that something was wrong with her cousin and sister-in-law, and she didn't say anything at the time, planning to ask again in private. Now that his aunt has taken the initiative to mention it, he is naturally happy to support it.

Uncle Guan didn't feel embarrassed for long, and then opened his mouth: "Mother, what Yun Niang said at that time...... It's really not good, she's a little girl who hasn't been out of the cabinet, she shouldn't have said that, and even when others talk about it, she shouldn't have listened to it. Brother Xiu'er and his mother came home and told me about it, and I was shocked. Fortunately, Yun Niang was stopped at that time and didn't let her shout loudly, otherwise the Qin family would have heard it, and the two parents would not know how to get along in the future. ”

Mrs. Guan was puzzled when she heard this: "What did Yun Niang say that made you so jealous?"

Uncle Guan smiled bitterly and looked at his wife. Aunt Guan said in a hesitant manner: "Yun Niang said that these words were not actually what she thought about herself, but ...... It was the people who listened to the master bookkeeper. Although it was ugly, it had nothing to do with her, she just told what she heard. ”

"Master Qi's bookkeeper, did Mrs. Qi say it or did Miss Qi say it?" Old Lady Guan frowned, "What the hell is that?!" she was a little impatient.

Aunt Guan still stammered a little: "It's not Mrs. Qi and Miss Qi, it's their rough mother-in-law, ...... said that when the He family was not married to Qin Erye, she was married to Chen Xiaowei from Linxian County, and the first daughter she gave birth to was said to be Chen Xiaowei's widow, but in fact, it was not, but she was born to her adultererous husband, maybe it was Qin Erye, and even Chen Xiaowei's death was a little unclear......

"What?!" Mrs. Guan was stunned: "What kind of nonsense is this?!"

Aunt Guan said with a bitter face: "The daughter-in-law also knows that this is not good, and the two mothers-in-law may not have evidence, but it is just nonsense." But Yun Niang said that Mrs. Qi's maiden family is in Linxian County, and she is related to Chen Xiaowei's family, if there is no evidence, how can she say such a thing? What's more, the Chen family is not without evidence, and there are people who have witnesses, but it is not easy to come forward......

Mrs. Guan took a deep breath: "You are such a mess, who can understand what you say? Hurry up and explain it to me 1510, what the hell is going on?!"

Aunt Guan had to tell what she knew from beginning to end.

Guan Yunniang and the daughter of the Qi master were friends for a while, and they often went to the county government and the rear office in the past. The lady of the Qi master book doesn't like Guan Yunniang's temperament very much, but out of courtesy, she won't snub her too much, but she often finds excuses to call her daughter away, lest her daughter get along with Guan Yunniang for a long time and get contaminated with some bad habits that shouldn't be contaminated. In this way, Guan Yunniang stayed in the Qi family for half an hour, and it was time to say goodbye and leave.

But what Master Qi didn't expect was that when Miss Qi was not present, Guan Yunniang would not be bored alone. She likes to talk to the girls of the Qi family, and even thinks that what these people say is more to her liking, because she doesn't have to think about words and etiquette like when facing the Qi girl. It's just that the quality level of the girl's mother-in-law is uneven, and it is inevitable that there will be people who love to chew their tongues and cannot be reused by the mother-in-law. Among them, there is a mother-in-law who married from the mother's house of the lady of the Qi main book, she likes to spread gossip and gossip, if it is not for the old age, and watching the lady of the Qi master book grow up, the latter is afraid that she will have already let her retire, and now in the Qi family, she is just doing some sprinkling and sweeping chores.

That day, the mother-in-law chatted with another mother-in-law, chatting about the affairs of the hometown of Linxian County, because Guan Yunniang was present, she mentioned the in-laws of the Guan family, the Qin family, the second grandmother of the Qin family was once the daughter-in-law of the old Chen family in Linxian County, less than a month after the death of the man, she married the Qin family in Rexiaoli, and it caused heated discussions in Linxian at that time. Second Master Qin also left his hometown for this reason and went to Datong to garrison.

Guan Yunniang heard her sister chatting with her sister-in-law, so she said: "I know about this, that Second Grandma Qin entered the Qin family after the second marriage, and she was not liked by her in-laws, so Second Master Qin went to such a far place for her." "I still feel that Qin An is very considerate.

But the mother-in-law said: "Where is it because the second-married woman doesn't like her in-laws, there are more daughters-in-law in the northwest, who is as shameless as the woman surnamed He? She is not innocent, and the second master of Qin can't wash it clean, so the couple are going to hide in other places!" This started the discussion of the Chen family in Linxian County about the former daughter-in-law of the He family.

He married into the Chen family, in fact, it was not many years ago, and when she remarried Qin An, she was only eighteen or nineteen years old. Captain Chen is also a junior military attache in the border city garrison, stationed in Xingxian County in the north of Linxian County all the year round, and he doesn't have much time at home. The place where the He family lives is not the Chen family's land, and there is not much contact with other husbands, she has always regarded herself as an official daughter, and she is gentle and introverted in front of people.

Later, Chen Xiaowei was worried that she was at home alone, so he asked a clan brother's family to move to a neighboring house to live, originally thinking about taking more care of the He family, but unexpectedly, this clan brother and sister-in-law found some unusual movements of the He family.

In the middle of the night one day, there was a carriage of unknown origin, which was still used by large families, and stopped at the back door of Chen's house. The driver was a fat old man with gray hair, but he was wearing a silk coat and a jade pendant around his waist, and he was obviously not an ordinary person. There was another person in the car, a tall man wearing a black hooded cape. The brother and sister-in-law saw it on the wall, but they didn't recognize each other's faces.

In this regard, He's explanation is that her brother was on an errand in a nearby grange, and he happened to take someone out to run errands that day, and he didn't have time to rush back, so he came to his sister's house to spend the night late at night.

This explanation is also reasonable, but why should his brother be sneaky when he goes to his sister's house to spend the night? And when his brother-in-law is not at home, even if he is his own brother, he is a little too unsophisticated, right? Not to mention that he also brought other men to the door. Even if it's an old man, it's a foreign man!

However, Captain Chen didn't care much after he found out, and his brother and sister-in-law naturally didn't want to say much. Since then, He's brother has never come over in the middle of the night, and every time he comes to the door in broad daylight, he also gives gifts to the neighbor's family. This matter seemed to be explained, only the sister-in-law couldn't help muttering in her heart, feeling that He Ziyu was shorter than the "brother" who appeared that night. But she couldn't do it accurately, and she couldn't talk about it.

There are always a few days a month when the He family will go out by car, or put on incense, or go to see his brother, there is always a reason. But she wanted incense, and the sister-in-law said that she wanted to go together, and she would definitely refuse. The sister-in-law thought it was a coincidence at first, but once she only went a quarter of an hour later than He, but she couldn't find He in the temple, so she suspected that He didn't go to incense at all. When she came back and asked Ho, Ho said that she had gone to another temple. But the sister-in-law clearly remembered that she had heard correctly.

After such a few times, the brother and sister-in-law of the clan were uneasy, and when Captain Chen went home, they couldn't help but tell him. This time, Captain Chen no longer regarded it as a deaf ear, but also said very seriously that his wife was indeed suspected of going out of the wall, and hoped that his brother and sister-in-law would help him keep an eye on it, and once he found traces of an adulterer, he would immediately arrest him, and he didn't have to save face. He can't tolerate this kind of thing no matter what, he would rather lose face than condone adultery!

Just when the brothers and sisters-in-law were rubbing their hands, Captain Chen suddenly died, and he accidentally fell off his horse and died. A notice came from the guard, and the aftermath was quickly completed. The clansmen were not suspicious, only the clan brothers and sisters-in-law felt that this was too coincidental, but at this time, the news came that He was three months pregnant.

Three months ago, Captain Chen was still in the outpost, and it was impossible for him to go home. No one knows this better than the brother and sister-in-law who live next door. They remembered that when he went home earlier, he said that his wife was suspected of being out of the wall, and thought that he must have found out that He was pregnant, and the life was not right, so he would suspect her. Although he is dead, the Chen family cannot allow the He family to continue to stay in the Chen family in the name of his widow and raise the adulterer's children in the name of the Chen family's heirs.

As soon as the brother and sister-in-law filed a complaint in the clan, the clansmen immediately convened a general meeting to interrogate the He family. He was very calm, saying that the accusations of the brothers and sisters-in-law were completely slanderous, and said that they had asked to succeed a son and give Chen Xiaowei as an heir, and when they learned that she was pregnant and was likely to give birth to a son, they felt that their hopes were disappointed, so they slandered her in this way and tried to seize the family wealth left by her deceased husband.

As for the fact that the fetus in her womb was three months old, and she couldn't tell the date of Captain Chen's return, she also said that the date on the surface was not right, but her deceased husband had quietly returned home, and it was suspected of leaving his post without permission, so she couldn't publicize it. The reason why the deceased husband came home is also related to the clan.

Chen Xiaowei was once the most prominent son of the family, in order to lead the people, he helped several brothers into the army, and introduced two uncles to the army's logistics business, such as grain, oil and cloth, such as cotton and fur, such as charcoal matches. There are a lot of illegal and law-breaking things at the bottom, and everyone knows it, but if it is publicized, Captain Chen will not be good, and the rest of the Chen family will also be unlucky. It's better for everyone to shut up and continue to make a fortune in silence.

Ho's words are not only an explanation, but also a threat. Whether it is true or not, except for the dead Captain Chen, only the He family knows. The Chen clan couldn't take the risk to verify it, so they could only let her go, but they were still very reckless in their hearts, and of course they didn't have a good face for the He family. Qin An came to the door to offer condolences, fell in love with the He family at first sight, and listened to what the He family said, thinking that the Chen family wanted to occupy the wealth of the Chen family, so he was embarrassed everywhere, so he decided to marry the He family. The He family reached an agreement with the Chen family that they would keep most of Chen's family wealth and only take 30% of it with him. The Chen family gave in because of this and acquiesced in her remarriage in filial piety, in fact, they were looking forward to leaving this bane as soon as possible, lest she really sue the Chen family.

The He family remarried smoothly and broke off contact with the Chen family in Linxian County. But the brother and sister-in-law's family are still there, and the Chen clan is still there. Now that many years have passed, the Chen family has already been whitewashed and started to make other businesses, and there is no need to worry about the incident at the east window of their own family, and when they think of He's daughter-in-law again, they can't help but talk a few words and belittle them in front of relatives and friends. There are all kinds of speculations about whose kind of child the child in her womb is.

Some people suspect that it is Qin An, so Qin An will not care about He's second marriage and enter the door with a big belly, and is willing to let her daughter's surname be Qin; some people think that it is someone else, maybe it is the person in the grange where her brother He Ziyu was on an errand, maybe it is the fat old man in luxurious clothes! But the real answer is still unknown.

After listening to Aunt Guan's words, Wu Shaoying was the first to ask a question: "Which grange did He Ziyu work in at the beginning?"
