Zhao Mo and Qin Jian have been friends for many years, and the friends they made when they were teenagers are now Uncle Lang, so naturally there is no question of believing it or not. Qin Jian can trust Zhao Mo, he is just hesitating whether to tell the family ugly frankly.

This family ugliness, he and his bed-sharing wife didn't reveal it, and his dearest father didn't tell him, so he hid his third cousin Qin Hanzhen, not because he couldn't believe her, but because he ...... I don't want too many people to know.

But now, Zhao Mo was already suspicious and sure that he had something to hide from him. He continued to keep silent, maybe he would offend his friend and brother-in-law, and it would not do him any good. But if the truth is told...... Maybe Zhao Mo can still help him deal with the aftermath? In fact, although he acted carefully, he didn't dare to guarantee that he didn't leave any flaws.

Qin Jian was still struggling and hesitating, Zhao Mo had already seen that he was wavering, so he simply added fire: "Cheng Enhou's death, there is really a problem, right?

Qin Jian suddenly had no entanglement, he smiled bitterly at Zhao Mo: "It turns out that you really know." ”

Zhao Mo said lightly: "Han Zhen is really not suspicious, after I figure out what is going on, I will consider whether I want to tell her the truth." In fact, Han Zhen has always been smart and meticulous, and what she thinks is suspicious has been proven to be suspicious afterwards, and nothing has ever gone wrong. Since she felt that Cheng Enhou's death was strange this time, it must be really strange. I've always had a lot of faith in her. And Ling Tang was inexplicably bedridden, and even the imperial doctor couldn't diagnose the symptoms. The doctor you hired, although he is also well-known in Beijing, is by no means one of the best doctors, but he can prescribe useful prescriptions, which is even more unreasonable. ”

Qin Jian's smile became even more bitter: "I really can't hide it from you...... My mother's illness was actually caused by worry. When I found out what she was doing, she was a little scared. Although I hid it for her, she couldn't help but be afraid when she thought about it afterwards, and she was always worried that she was not doing things well and left a mistake. ”

Zhao Mo took a deep breath: "Cheng Enhou's death, it was really her ......"

Qin Jian sighed: "It's not her alone, this matter is ...... In fact, she conspired with the cuckoo and the magpie. After his grandmother died that day, his grandfather became more and more crazy...... "He told Zhao Mo all kinds of ridiculous words and deeds of Qin Song in those twenty days, some of which Zhao Mo had known for a long time, and some of which he had heard of for the first time. Frankly speaking, such an elder who is broken, has no scruples, and does not think about his children and grandchildren, if it is his grandfather, he will also have a headache, and he wishes that the other party would die sooner.

Qin Jian said: "My mother is worried that I will be affected by my grandfather, and I know that if my grandfather really wants to regain power in the mansion now, he may not be able to do it." After all, Xinjun is his grandfather's nephew, and even if he doesn't give grace, he won't really dispose of his grandfather. Besides, my grandfather just made a fuss at home, so that he wouldn't go outside, and most of the palace wouldn't care about it. Unless the grandfather made trouble in the third room and disturbed the third uncle and ancestral family, the emperor would not interfere. After all, the nobles in the palace have no pity for our family. But my father has the hope of a smooth promotion, and I have just been admitted to the Jinshi meritorious service, and I am about to enter the office, if my grandfather is involved, my career is blocked, and my reputation is damaged, how should I be good in the future? Even if I have the help of the third uncle and ancestor, his old man is not a favoritist person, and my father, the third uncle and I must stand up first, so that people can not find faults, and his old man can say good things for us in front of the emperor. Therefore......"

Zhao Mo understood: "Cheng Enhou's actions are indeed ridiculous. He is a person with no future, he has been in the house for the past few years, and he has no love for his children and grandchildren. Ling Tang is not only thinking about Ling Zun, but also you, and even your children and grandchildren, so it is better for Cheng Enhou not to be ridiculous anymore. Even if he wants to continue to spend time drinking in his own yard, he is not afraid, but he must not touch the authority in this house. ”

Qin Jian sighed: "Mother, she...... may have been somewhat influenced by the words of the cuckoo and the magpie, so they went the wrong way. ”

A cuckoo is not quite the same as a magpie. The former is Xu's diehard, for the sake of Xu's, she can give up her good marriage, bear the infamy of betraying the master, and commit herself to Qin Song, an old man, to be a little concubine. When she was most favored, she was only responsible for appeasing Qin Song not to cause trouble for the Xu family, and she didn't even come out of Songfeng Hall, so she didn't have any scenery at all, at most, she just got some gold and silver property to make a private house. When she fell out of favor, she became a big girl who did all the chores around Qin Song, and she did all the work. Although Qin Song was used to her waiting, she couldn't get used to others anymore, so she no longer favored her, and she didn't leave her aside, but she even had to wait for Qin Song's new favorite from now on, and she had to endure any ridicule and bullying, such a day was definitely incomparable with the career of a decent big girl around Xu's side. But the cuckoo endured it all.

What Du Juan can't bear is actually Qin Song's belittlement and abuse of his wife after Xu's death, and he can't accept Qin Song's desire to continue as soon as possible, let a woman who doesn't know what to call take Xu's place, and hinder the future of Xu's own flesh and blood. Du Juan knew that the Xu family was partial to her mother's family, but she also knew that the three children born to the Xu family, as well as the descendants of these children, were the blood of the Xu family. The affairs of the Xu family, it is not the turn of the servant girl Du Juan to intervene. Therefore, in order to protect the dignity and status of the Xu family after her death, as well as her own flesh and blood, Du Juan harbored a grudge against Qin Song for many years and was ruthless.

As for the magpie, it is considering that although she is still staying in Songfeng Hall to be a big girl, she can only be said to be looking at the house. She is already an old girl, and she wants to find a young and promising, decent and promising male servant to marry in the Qin family's room or three rooms, but she can't meet someone who has never married a wife, and it is definitely not what she wants to fill the house for. And ordinary servants, she doesn't look down on them. Marry outside the mansion and find a wealthy family to be a young grandmother? It also depends on what kind of family it is! Can an ordinary rich family let her live a rich life like the big girl of Chengenhou's Mansion? No matter how much food and clothing she has, she is always the best in the circle of girls. If she gets married, she will have to suffer hardships, so she might as well continue to stay in the house. She has been working for the Yao family for many years, and she thinks that she is still a little decent, even if she doesn't marry for the rest of her life, she has survived to the age of a housekeeper, and then accepts a godson and a daughter or something, and the life will not be bad, and the main family will be able to take care of her for the elderly, and her nephews and nieces, goddaughters, will also honor her. But the premise of all this is that both her former and future masters have authority, and she can only speak her words.

Once Qin Song remarries, after the new lady enters the door, she will never let these old people continue to be decent. And if the new lady gets the power of the middle feed, even the Yao family will suffer a big loss, and the magpie is a girl, what resistance can she have? She was frightened by the prospect that the cuckoo said, and she knew that she was not without a handle, and in order not to follow in the footsteps of Hongyan and others, she must also join forces with the cuckoo.

Qin Jian told Zhao Mo about these situations, and sighed: "My mother was also frightened by these two girls, and when she got angry, she lost her sense of proportion, and she didn't discuss it with me, so she ......" He paused, "I don't dare to let my father know that there is such a thing, and I have to clean up the aftermath for my mother, I am afraid that my father will notice the traces of spiders and worms, and in a fit of anger, he will divorce his wife in anger." The palms and backs of these hands are full of meat, and I am also very tight. ”

Zhao Mo asked him: "The medicine was prepared by Lingtang's side, and the new Tongfang who entered the mansion during the filial piety period is also the person they are looking for?"

Qin Jian said: "I don't know where they found the people, but they said that as long as they give a sum of silver, she will get things done." The medicine was also brought by the other party. Grandfather is really a thing that came out immediately, that Hongxiang is calculating, grandfather himself is ridiculous and loses proportion, and the other concubines are bent on pleasing grandfather, and they are also stupid, so they ......"

Zhao Mo asked him about the dead concubine again, and Qin Jian explained very solemnly: "People really committed suicide by themselves, they were frightened." That Hongxiangyuan still wanted to pull her to run, she said that with the power of the Hou Mansion, they couldn't escape, but they would have added to the crime, so it was better to hang them earlier. Hongxiang ran away with her own things, and after she ran away, the concubine hanged herself. ”

Zhao Mo asked the thing that Hongxiang stole again, Qin Jian said: "This is what my mother came up with, let her take away something somewhat valuable, and the mansion will definitely send someone to chase it, but if she falls off the cliff with something on the way, and the government reports her death at that time, then the mansion will only chase the thing back, and the future will not be taken care of." They found a female corpse that had fallen to death from Yizhuang in advance, changed into the clothes that Hongxiang wore when she fled, and disguised herself as Hongxiang. The man sent by my mother recognized her and brought the lost property back, and the matter was closed. The real red incense will return to my hometown in the south with the silver given by my mother, and it will never rise again. If outsiders know about this, she will have to bear the blame herself, and she will never be stupid enough to say it herself. ”

Zhao Mo couldn't help but sigh: "If people are really in a desperate situation, or if they are greedy, what are they afraid of? Ling Tang can't bear the consequences of exposing the truth more than that red incense." If the other party uses this as a lever to blackmail Ling Tang, what can Ling Tang do with her? Seeing that woman acting, she is clearly a bold person, can Ling Tang be her opponent?"

Qin Jian smiled bitterly: "I also know that this matter is dangerous, I have inquired about all the details from my mother, magpie, and cuckoo, and I have taken back two things that can be kept as handles from that red incense, which can be regarded as the end of the trouble." I also found someone, escorted the red incense on the boat heading south, and stared at her until her house. If she dares to leak her words, I won't be helpless. Now that she and I are both jealous, we should know what to do, and we must be able to get along well in the future, right?"

Zhao Mo shook his head when he heard this, and sighed twice. After all, Qin Jian is a kind-hearted and decent scholar, and he can't cut the grass and eradicate the roots ruthlessly. However, this is not a bad thing, and Zhao Mo will not instigate Qin Jian to be a bad person. He just said to Qin Jian: "I will hide this matter from Han Zhen for you, but you also have to be careful to take care of your mother, don't let her do it again." Also, the cuckoo and the magpie, no matter what their thoughts, conspired to do this kind of thing, and they are also guilty of the following. Can you really tolerate them in a decent way?"

Qin Jian said lightly: "For them, I already have a belly case, but now is not a good time." ”

Zhao Mo nodded: "Since you know it in your heart, I won't ask more." When you need help, just ask. I have people under me, and it's easier for me to do things than for you. I don't want my wife's mother-in-law to have a scandal about her daughter-in-law killing her father-in-law, and the Yongjiahou Mansion will be discredited. ”
