Chapter 726: Fate
Qin Hanzhen was indeed impatient to pay attention to Qin Jinyi's affairs. But she only had a fight a few months ago, and now it's making a fuss again so quickly, what's going on?
Qin Jinyi accused Grandma Pei of poisoning her daughter-in-law, isn't this Lao Huang Li? At the beginning, Qin Jinyi was able to tell her mother Xiao Xue what happened in front of everyone, and if Grandma Pei was not a stupid person, she should know that this trick could not be used anymore, right? She stopped, and she could still insist that everything was just a misunderstanding, and she had no intention of harming her daughter-in-law, so that she would not have to be caught by the Qin family. But if she does it again, wouldn't it confirm that what Qin Jinyi said before is true? Qin Jinyi is shameless, and she is also the daughter of the Qin family. If she makes a mistake, it's one thing for her in-laws to punish her, and it's another thing to kill people. Qin Jinyi made a fuss about making peace and leaving, but Grandma Pei didn't agree, does this mean that people have to die in Pei's family, and they can't let people leave alive?
Is Grandma Pei too stupid and poisonous, or is Qin Jinyi too good at making trouble, so that her mother-in-law, who originally planned to stop, can't bear it anymore, and she has to die?
Qin Hanzhen asked her grandmother Niu for more details, but Niu could only say a rough idea, this was what Xiao Xue mentioned when she cried to her and Yao at Sheng Yiju: "It seems that after making a fuss before, she temporarily stopped and stopped clamoring for peace, but she still didn't want to have sex with her husband." Grandma Pei was worried that her son would have no heirs, so she wanted to take him a concubine. I finally picked a concubine from the side branch of my relative's house, and before I was hired, the girl Jinyi heard the news and made a fuss. ”
When Qin Jinyi was grounded in the past, she didn't have a henchman by her side, so she couldn't make trouble if she wanted to. But since the Cai family had a queen, and the second room had a good in-law, the Pei family's heart, which had been cold, became hot again. Mrs. Pei, Second Grandma Pei, and Third Grandma Pei didn't know about Grandma Pei's poisoning, and thought that this in-law could save it, not only could it stain the light of the Qin family, but even the light of the Cai family, so she asked Grandma Pei to return Qin Jinyi's dowry girls and companions, and treat it as a show for the in-laws Xiao Xue. Grandma Pei had a weak heart, and there was no excuse to disobey her mother-in-law's order, so she had to reluctantly let go. Several of them were not bought by the Pei family, and they felt that the Qin family was more powerful, so their hearts were still towards the Qin family. Qin Jinyi wanted to make trouble, so they helped make trouble.
This time it was a bit big, but it's a pity that Qin Jinyi didn't take advantage of the trouble in front of Mrs. Pei. Mrs. Pei doesn't like long houses anymore, and Pei Cheng is also her own grandson. If the granddaughter-in-law refuses to give birth to children for her grandson, there is no reason to stop her husband from taking concubines. She also wanted to maintain her in-law relationship with the Qin family, so she sent Qin Jinyi away. Qin Jinyi was unwilling and clamored that she wanted to reconcile. Mrs. Pei was annoyed, and motioned to her eldest daughter-in-law to put the person under house arrest again, and then continue to arrange for Pei Cheng to take a concubine.
Grandma Pei was probably taken aback by Qin Jinyi's actions, and her resentment deepened in her heart, so she made another move. It's just that this time Qin Jinyi learned to be obedient, she was on guard, and there were a few more people around her to protect her, not only did she not fall for her plot, but she also successfully escaped from Pei Guogong's mansion. If Qin Bofu hadn't gritted his teeth and refused to let her into the house, she would have returned a long time ago, and she would not have to stay outside.
Xiao Xue got his daughter's letter, so he went to Pei Guogong's mansion to cry and scold, and Mrs. Pei knew about the eldest daughter-in-law's poisoning. Although she was resentful of Qin Jinyi, her eldest daughter-in-law acted inappropriately and fell into the trap. How to deal with Grandma Pei, that was the housework of the Pei family, but Qin Jinyi really offended her husband's family. Pei Cheng felt that she had harmed her biological mother, and finally under the persuasion of her sister, she decided to leave. Helplessly, Mrs. Pei felt that it was a pity to break off her relationship with the Qin family, and she refused to let go. But Pei Er's grandmother revealed some words, and felt that it would be acceptable for Qin Jinyi to live separately from Pei Cheng. In this way, Qin Jinyi does not have to live in the Pei family, and in the face of the discordant mother-in-law and husband, she cannot interfere with Pei Cheng's concubine and have children, and the Pei family can also maintain the in-law relationship with the Qin family and the Cai family.
The problem is only that Qin Bofu is unwilling to accept his eldest daughter home, and he is unwilling to admit that he has a daughter who is divorced from her husband, and he is unwilling to accept the practice of separating property and living separately, saying that it will affect the reputation of the Qin family. He also claimed that the Qin family was the maiden family of the Empress Dowager Qin, and her upbringing was very strict, and if her daughter did something embarrassing, she would rather die in her husband's house than tolerate her being abandoned!
In fact, Xiao Xue's heart understands that this is because Qin Bofu hates his eldest daughter and holds a grudge against the Pei family, so he can't see Qin Jinyi and the Pei family being good. He would rather see Qin Jinyi and the Pei family living together for a long time, hating each other and torturing each other. It's just that it's about her daughter's life and future, and Xiao Xue's loving mother can't hate it. She came to ask for a long house and a third room, on the one hand, she wanted to use the power of the long house and the third room to force her husband Qin Bofu to give in, and on the other hand, she also wanted to find a place for her daughter Qin Jinyi. If Qin Bofu still refuses to agree to let his daughter go back to her parents' house, then the long room and the third room are places where his daughter can be accommodated. Living in a house outside all the time is not a long-term solution after all.
After listening to Niu's explanation, Qin Hanzhen couldn't help but snort: "The eldest uncle is deliberately hurting others and not benefiting himself. The Pei family is like this, what is the benefit of maintaining an in-law relationship with them all the time? After letting the eldest sister and Pei Cheng reconcile and leave, it is not the same to think of tossing the Pei family? Now that they are making a lot of noise on both sides, shouting out, and being known to the world, is it possible that the eldest uncle's face is very bright? As far as he acts in the family, he is embarrassed to say how strict the family style and upbringing are. The face of the Queen Mother, hasn't they been stepped on a few times a long time ago? The eldest sister has moved out of the Pei family, and the delay in separation will not affect her personal safety, but her dowry has been cheapened by the Pei family in vain. Won't Uncle Count this account?"
Niu said: "He may not be able to count, but he can't swallow the breath in his heart." He still thinks that if he hadn't injured his hand, he would have been able to go to the pavilion to pay respects at this time, and he wouldn't have been able to see how many catties and taels he had at all! I see, the Jinyi girl broke his hand at the beginning, I'm afraid it would be the greatest filial piety in her life, right? Otherwise, with your uncle's rampant temperament, he may be able to toss his little life away at some point, and it is better to drag his injured hand to be an idler at home like this!
Qin Hanzhen approached his grandmother and asked in a low voice, "Then we really ignore this matter?" Let the eldest uncle and the eldest sister confront each other and stalemate?"
Niu sighed: "I really don't want to mess with your big sister anymore." But your second aunt may make a move, so we shouldn't need to get involved. ”
"Second uncle?" Qin Hanzhen was surprised, she thought that the Yao family didn't care about the outside affairs now.
Niu said: "Your eldest aunt cried so pitifully, your second aunt didn't want to pay attention to her, so she was moved by a word, saying that this matter is related to your eldest sister's life and saving people's lives, just to accumulate virtue for Brother Jian'er's unborn child." Your second aunt is thinking about her grandson at this time, and it's just a matter of a few words, maybe she will really make a move. ”
Qin Hanzhen suddenly realized, so it was.
But...... Qin Han was really a little suspicious, if the Yao family made a move, could he really make Qin Jinyi's wish come true?
In fact, she is no longer in the Pei family, so it is not very difficult to pretend to be dead and remarry as a daughter of the Qin clan, right? In order to get out, Qin Jinyi was willing to marry into the Xue family, why didn't she think of this stubble? Could it be ...... Would she rather marry into the Xue family than agree to the conditions that Qin Hanzhen had proposed and give up her identity as the eldest daughter of the second concubine of the Qin family? She wouldn't want to show off her extraordinary family background to outsiders after marrying into the Xue family in the future......, right? She actually doesn't really want to marry into the Xue family, the reason why she says this is just an expedient measure, and when her mother's family helps her get out, she can change her hexagram?
Qin Hanzhen guessed and couldn't tell what Qin Jinyi thought, but the Yao family quickly made a move. She sent Yulan to go to the second room with Xiao Xue's family, and she didn't know what to say to Qin Bofu, Qin Bofu was finally relieved and was willing to come forward to talk to the Pei family about the reconciliation of her daughter and son-in-law. It's just that Mrs. Pei still clenched her words and refused to agree to her grandson and daughter-in-law, and the next day the news of Qin Jinyi's suicide came out of the Qin family. Soon, rumors spread in the capital, pointing out that the Pei family was poor, and in order to covet the daughter-in-law's dowry, they poisoned the daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law wanted to save her life, but the Pei family did not agree, and as a result, the daughter-in-law committed suicide. The reputation of the Pei family suddenly stinks. Old Madam Pei and the rest of the Pei family wanted to defend themselves, but they couldn't prove it with the living Qin Jinyi. At this time, the news that Grandma Pei was sent to the family nunnery and grounded also came out, which seemed to confirm the statement that she had indeed committed a major crime.
Uncle Pei and Second Master Pei originally entrusted people to almost move in the ministry, and they were about to recover, and now there is no follow-up. Even Pei Guogong's protégés and old friends before his death were a little alienated from them. It is impossible for anyone to mention Pei Cheng's renewal, and Pei Yin's family affairs are even more distant, and even the people who invited her to the banquet disappeared in an instant. Pei Guogong's mansion suddenly fell into an embarrassing situation.
At this time, Qin Bofu brought someone to the door to take back his daughter's dowry, and no one dared to stop and delay. Some of the dowries have been deducted or "borrowed", and Mrs. Pei would rather pay for her private house than fill it back, so as not to let the Qin family ruin her reputation. Qin Bofu didn't say anything to them, with a cold face, he escorted the carriage carrying the dowry and the accompanying room away. Seeing the expression on Uncle Pei's face, he remembered that he had recovered a large amount of property, and his mood was finally a little happier. He decided to select a part of these carts of belongings and send them to the long house, which should be regarded as a thank you gift to his younger sister Yao for solving the trouble caused by his unfilial daughter.
How many thank-you gifts the Yao family received from the second room, Qin Hanzhen didn't know. She just heard that Xiao Xue's gratitude to Yao's was zero. It can be seen that Qin Jinyi is not really dead. Qin Hanzhen later heard from his stepmother Cai Shengnan that Xiao Xue's henchmen hid Qin Jinyi in Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing, and when the spring flowers bloomed, he would send people to the Xue family's house in Jiangnan, and according to Xue's words, arrange for her to marry the children of the Xue family.
Qin Jinyi, who has always rejected marrying into the Xue family, still wants to become the wife of the Xue family after all. This is probably a kind of fate, right?
Qin Jinyi can escape and have a lifelong trust, and in the future, she will no longer be able to use the banner of the nephew and granddaughter of the Empress Dowager Qin to bring trouble to the other sisters of the Qin family, Qin Hanzhen is very happy about this. It's just that his cousin died nominally, and Qin Hanzhen was about to serve a nine-month period of great merit and filial piety, and he felt that he was at a loss.
However, on the day of the Lantern Festival in the first lunar month, good news came from the Chengenhou Mansion that Yu Xinlan was about to give birth. Qin Hanzhen also put the dissatisfaction in his heart behind him, and quickly rushed to the Chengenhou Mansion to welcome the birth of his little nephew.
