Chapter 4 I beat them to fulfill my filial piety
"I don't know what mistakes the younger generation has made, but I also ask the eldest lady to point it out. Chen Luo met the eldest lady's gaze, and he was not afraid.
Dare to stand and talk to me, I don't know how to be polite, a trace of annoyance flashed in the eldest lady's eyes, and her tone was obviously a little heavier, and said: "You are guilty of a crime, not a mistake!
If it was Chen Luo in the past, let the eldest lady say this, he would definitely kneel down immediately. After all, in this hierarchical Hou Mansion, the eldest lady is the main mother, and her majesty is not unpretentious.
Obviously, the eldest lady also thinks so, but this Chen Luo is not the other Chen Luo, not only did he not kneel, but also raised his head and said: "Back to the eldest lady, my father asked me to do this." β
One stone stirs up a thousand waves!
Zhao Lan and Li Anguo, who were standing next to them, felt a chill down their spines when they heard this, did the old man tell him to beat us? Could it be that the old man found out about the two of us? No, if the old man found out, he would definitely not beat him up, this must be lying!
The eldest lady was also stunned when she heard this, and immediately reprimanded: "Hou Ye has not returned the war for half a year, and you dare to pretend to be in the name of Hou Ye, it is simply bold, come here, drag this concubine out and punish a hundred people!"
As soon as the words came out, two strong maids immediately walked out, one left and one right, and they grabbed Chen Luo's arm and were about to drag it out.
"Get out of here!" Chen Luo's muscles and muscles collapsed, and he shook left and right, directly shocking the two maids out.
The eldest lady was so angry that her body trembled, and she said sharply: "If you want to do the opposite, you can't do it!"
"Forgive me, the eldest lady, the younger generation was unspeakable just now, and he was so reckless in a hurry. Although Chen Luo said that he was forgiving, there was a kind of neither humility nor arrogance in his words.
A trace of surprise flashed in the pupils of all the subordinates, this was really that Chen Luo, how could he dare to disobey the order of the eldest lady!
Chen Luo's eyes did not squint, the man stood in the heaven and earth, how could he weaken his backbone, he said unhurriedly: "Mrs., the younger generation did not pretend to be in the name of his father, in the past I heard my father say in the house, filial piety comes first, I beat them to fulfill filial piety!"
If it is unreasonable, Mrs. Ben will definitely order someone to take you to the criminal law hall and correct your disrespectful and audacious concubine!"
Chen Luo pointed at the maid Zhao Lan awe-inspiringly: "She, she is disrespectful, she calls my mother a slut, and also calls me a mongrel, you know, eldest lady, my father has made my mother a concubine, although I am a concubine, but I am also my father's blood and blood, which identity is not higher than her? But she dared to commit a crime, and teamed up with this family named Li Anguo to find me troubleββ"
Chen Luo's voice suddenly raised: "Such a vicious slave, domineering and bullying the master, if I am a mongrel, what has my father become? As a son of man, if I still swallow my anger, where will I put my filial piety? Where will I put my father's reputation? Where will I put the majesty of the Marquis of Wuguo?"
The loud words shocked everyone, and Zhao Lan and Li Anguo, who were the parties involved, were even more frightened and knelt on the ground, trembling with two forces, and their hearts were cold.
The eldest lady was also speechless, if she objected, wouldn't that be tantamount to slapping Marquis Chen's face? But if she agreed, wouldn't she have cheapened this concubine for nothing?
"Zhao Lan, Li Anguo, you are honest, have you ever said those words? Don't be afraid, if this concubine wrongs you, you can say it, and Mrs. Ben will make the decision for you. The eldest lady said suddenly, but there was obviously another meaning in her words.
Hearing such an obvious hint, Zhao Lan immediately showed off her acting skills, her head banged, and she said with a crying voice: "The eldest lady Mingjian, the slave has been conscientious since serving the eldest lady, for fear of making a little mistake. Although the slave and maid don't read much, they also know that in the Hou Mansion, the Hou Ye and the eldest lady are the heaven of the slave and the maid, and they are the masters of the slave and the maid.
Li Anguo did the same, and cried and said: "Sister Lan'er called the villain over, because she was afraid that Chen Luo would poison her again, who knew that Chen Luo also beat the villain, but the villain didn't fight back." Look, eldest lady, the injury on my face was caused by Chen Luo. β
The eldest lady praised it in her heart, and then pretended to look at the injury on Li Anguo's face, raised her eyebrows, and scolded angrily: "Chen Luo! Now you have nothing to say! Not only did he hurt people, but he also dared to fabricate facts, which really disgraced the face of my Wuguo Marquis's Mansion!"
"How can the eldest lady listen to their words?" Chen Luo said with an unchanged expression.
The eldest lady sneered: "How can that lady believe your words?"
"I have evidence-" Chen Luo's voice changed: "It proves that their words can't be trusted at all." β
The eldest lady's face sank slightly, although she didn't believe that Chen Luo could come up with any evidence, but Chen Luo's confident appearance seemed to really have something in mind.
"Then you can show the evidence, if it is not true, all the accounts will be settled together. The eldest lady waved her hand and said, Hmph, I think it's evidence, it's evidence, if I don't admit it, it's nothing, I don't believe that I can't cure you today.
Chen Luo took a step forward and said with a sad and angry face: "Hasn't the eldest lady ever found out?"
The eldest lady waved her hand: "If you have evidence, take evidence, don't say that these are useless." β
"They-" Chen Luo pointed at Zhao Lan and the two angrily, and said, "Adultery!"
Click!
The word "adultery" was like a thunderbolt, slashing at the eldest lady, causing her to freeze there on the spot.
The maids around them also opened their mouths wide enough to stuff an egg.
But Zhao Lan and Li Anguo, who were kneeling on the ground, were cold and hairy, their faces were miserable and white, and cold sweat kept sliding down their faces.
Ordinary maids who commit adultery with their families have to be immersed in the pig cage, and Zhao Lan, a girl who has a roommate, commits adultery with her family, not only does she not survive, but her responsibility is even heavier, because she is nominally half of the concubine of Marquis Chen.
"Are you sure you're not lying!" The eldest lady glared at Chen Luo, if such an ugly thing really happened in the Chen family's back house, she, the main mother, would be unable to escape the blame, and her prestige would be greatly reduced.
Chen Luo raised his head and said: "The younger generation never lies. β
"ββSomeone, take Zhao Lan down, check whether she is a virgin, and this Ding will temporarily detain me. The eldest lady said hatefully.
Zhao Lan and Li Anguo are not Chen Luo, they didn't dare to resist knowing that they would die, and let the strong maids who came over fiddle with them.
They regret it in their hearts!
Zhao Lan regretted why she ran to the eldest lady to sue Chen Luo, but Li Anguo regretted how he didn't control his lust in the first place, so that it caused today's disaster.
The results came out quickly, and a woman came in and reported: "Big lady, Zhao Lan is two months pregnant. β
Hearing this result, the eldest lady's face was as gloomy as if it was going to rain, and she said in a sullen voice: "Send Zhao Lan and the others to the Criminal Law Hall for execution, and use the family law to correct the law, Chen Luo will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver." β
There is actually a reward for silver, Chen Luo was overjoyed, the two of them only paid five taels of silver per month, and one hundred taels was equivalent to their silver for one year and eight months.
"The eldest lady has clear rewards and punishments, and the younger generations are respectful. "Chen Luo bowed down, just give you a salute for the sake of the silver.
The eldest lady was in a very bad mood, and waved her hand happily: "You go down." β
Chen Luo carried a hundred taels of silver weighing ten catties and walked out of the Yangxin Residence, and he did not have the slightest mercy for Zhao Lan and Li Anguo who were executed.
As the saying goes, you can't live if you do your own evil, in Chen Luo's eyes, these two people belong to this category.
At the same time, Chen Luo also clearly realized that this eldest lady had to rectify him for a little thing, and her mind was probably not as big as the eye of a needle, and she would inevitably come to find fault in the future.
"Only by cultivating and making yourself stronger can you gain a foothold in this Hou Mansion. But I don't know if there are any medicinal materials I need in this world, the most important thing at the moment is to strengthen the muscles and bones, polish the cortex, if there is no medicinal materials to help, it will be a long time. β
Chen Luo thought in his heart that his current strength was not strong, even if he used the moves he learned in his previous life, he would be stronger than ordinary people at most.
And he can't use many moves at all, the reason is that his current body is too weak. Compared to those skin refining realm martial artists who have trained their skins like copper and iron, his physical fitness is still far behind.
Thinking about it, Chen Luo walked to his house, and before he could enter, he heard Ji talking to someone.
"Master Doctor, please do well, prescribe medicine to me for another three days, and I promise to pay you back as soon as I receive the money. β
Prescribe medicine? Chen Luo said in his heart, it should be for "my" nominal daughter-in-law Ji Ruo.
"Mrs. Chen, it's not that I don't help, those medicinal herbs are very valuable, I also have to eat, you have paid the account for five days, and if you take the credit again, my shop will be closed." β
Listening to the voice, it was a doctor between fifty or sixty years old, Chen Luo was not in a hurry to enter, he stood outside the room and listened.
"Master Doctor, I know your difficulties, but this person's life is at stake, my little sister's body and bones have always been very weak, and she will definitely not be able to survive if she runs off the medicine. β
"Alas, even if I am afraid of you, I will give you three days' credit, and if you can't get the money after three days, you can ask for another mastery, and I will also take those debts as good deeds. β
Chen Luo heard the doctor sigh heavily, and seemed quite helpless.
"Thank you, thank you so much, you are such a good person, God will definitely bless your whole family with peace and security, no disasters and no diseases. β
As soon as the words fell, the door opened, and an old doctor with a medicine box walked out of it, followed by Ji with a smiling face.
As soon as the two came out, they saw Chen Luo standing there carrying a black cloth bag.
"Luo'er, you're back, the eldest lady didn't embarrass you, are you hurt? Are you hungry, my mother will cook something for you." As soon as Ji saw Chen Luo, he walked over quickly and looked up and down, his concern was beyond words.
