Chapter 38: Situation

When Xiao Huang woke up, it was almost dark. She turned her head weakly and saw that the courtyard outside the window was dark.

It's a strange place. She barely bracked up her body and looked around, but she couldn't figure it out. Although there are all kinds of utensils in the house, looking at the furnishings, it doesn't look like a rich place like the Hou Mansion. Could it be that because she entered the mansion, there was a disturbance, and the people of the Chengenhou Mansion were angry and threw her to the place where the subordinates lived? Could it be that Qin Keyong died? Just let others bully her like this?

The door creaked open, and Qin Ke walked in with a food box. He saw that Xiao Huang was awake, so he said lightly: "Get up, I'll let the kitchen make porridge for you, you can eat some first." As he spoke, he put his things down, reached for the candlestick on the table, and the dimly lit room was immediately brightened.

Xiao Huang asked him, "Where is this? This doesn't look like a place to entertain guests in the Hou Mansion." ”

Qin Keyong said: "Of course, this is not the place where the Hou Mansion entertains guests, this is the backyard of our own business. It's a little simpler, but it's your own territory, and you can do whatever you want. ”

No wonder the furnishings in the house were so shabby, not even as good as those used in the clan's house, as if they were the worst houses in the clan. Since she married into the Qin family, she has never lived in such a house again!

Xiao Huang couldn't help but be shocked and angry: "Why don't you stay in the Hou Mansion? Could it be that the people from the Hou Mansion want to drive us away? Why? Just because I have a quarrel with the people in the Xiao Erfang? But aren't the two Hou Mansions at odds with the Xiao Erfang?"

Qin Keyong said lightly: "There is discord between the heads of several small houses in the sixth room, that is also a family affair, and what does it have to do with our sect room? You made a lot of noise in the Chengenhou Mansion, and you didn't take others seriously. It would have been better for me to take you away sooner than to stay there as an eyesore. Besides, I didn't plan to live in the Hou Mansion in the first place. No matter how simple the house of the merchant is, it is also our own place, and it is better to live here than to be under the fence. ”

Xiao Huang said disapprenously: "We have more places to live, just spend a little money to buy a house, but how can the Hou Mansion be the same as such a place? If we live in it, we will talk about it in front of people in the future, and we will have to be a little more beautiful, but who will rarely live in the house of a merchant in the capital? Besides, even if I have made noise in the Hou Mansion, I have gone to the small second room, and I have never offended the people of the Hou Mansion of Cheng'en." If they think I'm an eyesore, then we can also live in Yongjiahou's Mansion. Didn't I faint at that time? The second master had enough reasons to stay, but he took me away on his own initiative, isn't it stupid?!"

Qin Keyong took out a bowl of hot porridge in the food box, and two plates of side dishes, motioned for Xiao Huang's family to come to eat, and his tone of voice was a little careless: "I have lived in both Hou Mansions, it's not a big deal." Xiao Huang was angry, she hadn't lived before! Just as she was about to speak, she heard Qin Keyong say again: "What's more, living outside makes it much easier to act." I have quietly sent someone to keep an eye on the people in the second room, and as long as any of them go out of the city to look for your brother's family, my people will follow and find their residence. At that time, even if the people in the second room are cheating, we don't have to worry. ”

Xiao Huang's eyes lit up: "Second master?"

Qin Keyong glanced at her, and his expression was still indifferent: "Let's eat, there are some things that don't need to be in a hurry, just wait for the news." Tonight, you are resting, I will go to the front to read the account, so I will not bother you. ”

Xiao Huang's face changed again: "Is the second master really going to see the accounts, or is he looking at someone?!"

Qin Keyong opened the door without looking back: "If you don't believe it, you can take a look in the courtyard." It's not a big yard, and you can easily see what I'm doing. ”

Xiao Huang hurriedly slowed down his expression, and said softly: "Second master, don't worry, I said the wrong thing, I shouldn't doubt you." ”

Qin Keyong still didn't look back: "It's okay, I'm used to it anyway." Maybe one day, when I can't take it anymore, I'll be the kind of person you talk about all day, right? I don't know how long I'll be able to endure it, and you can try again. He closed the door with his backhand and walked away, his face gradually showing a heavy tiredness.

Xiao Huang in the house listened to her husband's words in a daze, wanting to say something, but couldn't say it. She didn't know what Qin Ke was complaining about? But was it her fault? She was just more vigilant. If he was still the same Qin Keyong who treated her wholeheartedly and did whatever she said, why should she be so suspicious? She really didn't dare to be careless, now that she had lost too much, she might have nothing left at any time. She had to hold on to her husband. If even he is lost, her life will be in vain!

Xiao Huang didn't know why he was in the situation he is in today. Originally, everything was fine, she thought that the six-room and the third room were down, so she went to the small second room that looked very beautiful and powerful, who knew that the people in the small second room were just bragging, and the little third room was deeply hidden? She stood on the wrong team and lost the position of the clan woman, so Qin Keliang and the Feng couple turned over, and it was her bad luck. But as long as she successfully sends her niece to the palace as a concubine, she will be able to make a comeback! For this purpose, she eliminated all difficulties, snatched her niece back from Huang Jincheng's side, rejected Huang Jincheng's matchmaker, sent her brother's family to Beijing to take refuge in the small second room, and even did not hesitate to leave her father alone in Jiangning.

Who knows, the niece Huang Yiqiu did not enter the palace smoothly, but after entering Nianhui Nunnery, she stayed there and never moved again. My brother, sister-in-law and nephew originally lived in the capital in the second room, but I don't know when they never saw any more letters. Xiao Erfang claimed that they moved out on their own initiative, so they cut off the news, but she knew that her brother and sister-in-law were human beings and would never do such unreliable things. Even if they really fell out with the second room, the sister-in-law had no reason to cut off contact with her mother's family. But the Xue family hasn't received a letter from Grandma Huang for a long time, she is the daughter of the Xue family! Xiao Huang knows that something must have happened that she doesn't know.

Next, the old father fell ill, but because he was angry with her, he sent her brother's family away and refused the people she sent to serve. She herself was sick, and she had to worry about her husband and children, so she was negligent. At this time, the second uncle of Yangzhou's hometown, Huang Er, sent someone to take care of his father, she only thought he was kind-hearted, and never paid attention to it, who knew that Huang Er's grandson was also sent over, and served in front of her father's bed for two years.

Two years of hard work was enough for the old father to be coaxed into obedience by his nephew, and the old man was even closer to his nephew than his own grandson! The old father's condition worsened, and for most of the half year, she sent countless letters to the capital, urging her brother and nephew to return to Jiangning, but they were all sunk into the sea and there was no reply. The old father became more and more sad and disappointed day by day, and he also resented his children for being unfilial day by day, and before he died, he actually went to the Yangzhou clan, invited his brother Huang Er and the patriarch and the clan elders to testify, and personally opened his mouth, and recorded the grandson of Huang Er in the name of the youngest son who died young, and counted him as the heir, and at the same time drove his own children and grandchildren out of the house, expelled them from the clan, and refused to recognize them again!

The old father did this, which is tantamount to giving all the money and property that her little Huang family has worked hard to buy for her mother's family over the years to the cousin in the next room, but she has not left a single thing behind, how can she accept it?! However, the old father was confused, and the second master Huang and the clansmen actually acquiesced, and in turn, they beat her upside down, accusing her of being a daughter and violating the family rules, and even her name had to be removed from the family tree!

Once her little Huang clan is removed from her mother's clan and is no longer the daughter of the Huang family, the position of the daughter-in-law of the Qin family clan will not be stable. Xiao Huang was shocked and angry, but there was nothing he could do to stop all this from happening. When the old father went to the funeral, she planned to let her son go to wear filial piety for his grandfather, but the clansmen refused, and drove the child out of the door, only letting the heir and grandson wear linen and filial piety, and fell to mourn the spirit. She knew in her heart that the Huang family was no longer her dependence, and they had turned their faces and denied people for the sake of that family business! When she returned to Qinzhuang with her sick body, she heard countless clansmen talking in private, speculating about when the clan would abandon her.

She still has children, how can the clan divorce her?! Her son is the grandson of the patriarch and his wife, even if it is for the sake of the child, she cannot be divorced.

However, Xiao Huang soon felt that her confidence was insufficient, it was true that she had a son, but her mother-in-law also had her mother's family! The second girl of the Shen family, who had a bad reputation, appeared in the sect room within a few days, and claimed that she had heard that her eldest cousin-in-law, Feng, was pregnant and was about to give birth, and she was afraid that her aunt would be too tired to preside over the middle feed alone, so she came to share her worries for her aunt.

Who is she, Second Miss Shen? The housework of the Qin family's sect, when will it be her turn to intervene?!

Second Miss Shen has now become a twenty-year-old girl, and she has not yet married. She is pretentious, so ambitious, she wants to marry better than her sister-in-law, and she refuses to let people easily, but she hasn't married until now. She's just a concubine, although she has a bit of color, but she's not stunning, and she doesn't have a good reputation, why do you want to climb high branches?

After Miss Shen married into the Mao family, her mother-in-law, Mrs. Mao, didn't know if it was because she was too happy, so she lasted for more than a year, until the eldest grandson was born, and then she held the child and passed away with a smile. And in the past year or so, Miss Shen has taken care of the small family properly, Mao Xiucai has also successfully won the lift, the family is harmonious and beautiful, and no one in Huzhou praises her virtuousness? Even if it is now the period of filial piety, Mao Juren also immersed himself in studying, only waiting for filial piety to participate in the examination, and high school in one fell swoop. Where can this be compared to Miss Shen's second girl?

Second Miss Shen probably knew that she was an old girl and couldn't find any good people, so she started her cousin's idea again. Although Qin Keyong has no fame and is still a businessman, he has the identity of the queen family, and he is good friends with the two princes of the six houses, with this relationship, in terms of wealth and decency, it is no worse than the Mao family. The second girl Shen knew that the Xiao Huang family might be abandoned at any time, so she ignored her aunt's cold face, and forced herself to live in the Qin family's clan, and flattered her aunt sweetly all day long.

Xiao Huang sneered in his heart. She didn't believe that her mother-in-law would ignore the life of her niece and nephew for the sake of her daughter-in-law, who had always been disgusted, and she didn't believe that her husband would still have old feelings for her, the original wife, and refuse to seduce her beautiful cousin despite years of disharmony. But she won't give up easily! How can she easily give up her status and status that she has obtained so hard?

She forced her husband to take her to Beijing, not only to find relatives, but also to avoid the entanglement of Shen Er's girl. She didn't believe it, her husband was not in Jiangning, and the slut could still marry into the clan as a second grandmother. has the ability, Shen Er Girl will go down in the sect room. If one day, her Xiao Huang family can't hold on, and finds a house for her husband in the capital, and consumes that slut to death in Jiangning in vain, what can't she do? !
