When the old lady cleaned up, the two mothers-in-law carried her to the circle chair, and then carried the chair out.

When I came outside, I saw that except for Chen Laozu who was sitting, the other people were standing in the courtyard, and they all had calm faces and glared at her. The son also stood in the midst of them, his face dark.

The old lady was inexplicably a little weak-hearted, but when she thought that her son was a big official, and these clansmen were just mud legs in the countryside, she was relieved. She helped the red gold beaded big phoenix hairpin on her head, and said to a few clan elders, "The old woman is inconvenient, so you have been waiting for a long time." What are they doing standing in the courtyard? Go into the house and sit down to have a cup of tea and talk slowly. Is there another problem in the clan? Don't worry, I'll let my son ......."

Chen Laozu scolded angrily, "Shut up! You wicked woman, you have harmed your son like this, and you dare to put Mrs. Tai's money. ”

The old lady was angry and snorted coldly, "I am the lady of the imperial seal, and I don't need to put on a show." Where did I hurt my son? My son is still a member of the fourth grade. ”

Uncle Chen didn't want to be verbose with her, so he waved his hand and said, "Zhao, keep your show-off words for ...... and say them slowly" and said aloud about the evil things that the old lady had done, and punished her to go to the nunnery to cultivate until she died.

The old lady was a little scared at first, but when she saw Chen Shiying standing among them, she had an outstanding temperament and extraordinary style, compared with those few clansmen who had lost their scum, it was really a heaven and a few underground. If you have such a son, what are you afraid of?

Thinking of this, she had a bit of momentum again, spat them hard, and scolded, "What are you? A few clansmen who have come out of the three suits, we recognize you, you are a relative. We don't recognize it, not even relatives. Who qualifies me to go to the nunnery? He said to Chen Shiying, "Shiying, they are disrespectful to the old lady, drive them back to their hometown, and don't let them stay in Dingzhou Mansion." ”

The old lady's words were slurred, and her voice was quite loud, and everyone could understand it.

Chen Shiying shook his head angrily, and said in a low voice, "Mother, don't make trouble." really them off, they went directly back to their hometown to become a wife, and asked the government to divorce, and their son couldn't protect you. He knelt down again and said, "Mother, my son did his best." You go to the nunnery to cultivate, you are still the wife of the Chen family, and you are my father's surviving person. If he is dismissed, there is nothing. ”

Jiang and Chen Yulan also knelt down.

"What, you also agree with the old lady to go to the nunnery?" The old lady was unbelievable at first, and then she burst into tears, scolding Chen Shiying for being unfilial, her widow raised him unemployed, and his eyes were almost blind when he did embroidery work, so that her son became a big official, but the clansmen practiced her. An official of his size directly sentenced those clansmen to prison, seeing if they were still meddling in their affairs. She didn't want to go to the nunnery, where the days were hard, she couldn't eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, and she couldn't wear silk and satin, which was even more sad than her previous days in Zhaojia Village......

was making a fuss, and suddenly someone came to report that the holy decree was coming, and asked Mrs. Chen to go to the front yard to receive the decree.

A decree to the old lady? Not to mention that Chen Shiying was stunned, even Chu Lingxuan, who was watching the excitement, was stunned.

Chu Lingxuan hurriedly went to the front yard to greet the herald, Chen Shiying changed into official clothes, and Jiang and Mrs. Chen put on a phoenix crown and went to the front yard.

The herald glanced at the old lady twice and said, "You are Mrs. Chen?" Take it. ”

When Chen Shiying heard the herald's address to her mother, her heart sank suddenly, but she still cheered up and helped the old lady to kneel on the ground. The old lady was half paralyzed, and two mothers-in-law knelt on both sides to support her.

Seeing that they all knelt down, the herald opened the decree and read aloud, "Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, Zhao, the mother of Chen Shiying, the prefect of Dingzhou Prefecture, has a loss in women's behavior, is not virtuous and immoral, and is in vain as the wife and mother of others." Now take back the four respectful people's seals, in order to show punishment, hope that you will repent in the future, admire this! ”

After the herald finished reading, two people went over to take off the phoenix crown on Mrs. Chen's head and the xia veil on her body and take them back.

Other women were given seals because their husbands and sons had been dismissed. Mrs. Chen, Zhao, became the first son since the founding of the Dashun Dynasty and still lived in the original position, but as a mother, she was withdrawn from the title.

The old lady fainted at that time, and Chen Shiying was also weak and couldn't stand up. Chu Lingxuan hurriedly went over and secretly stuffed a purse for the herald and sent them away.

Chen Laozu cried angrily, and said to Chen Shiying, "Shiying boy, then the Zhao family can't stay." If such a woman still stays in the Chen family, how can you let the daughter of the Chen family find her in-laws? Listen to persuasion. If you still want to protect her, I can only let those Chen family girls who can't marry come to your door and hang themselves. ”

Several other clansmen also persuaded, "Lord Chen, you can't keep the Zhao clan anymore, she has ruined the virtues of my Chen clan." ”

Chen Shiying's body seemed to be empty at this time, far more sad than when he was locked up. He looked at his mother, who had fainted, and then at the sad and abnormal people, and knew that he would not be able to keep his mother no matter what.

He said with difficulty, "Okay, listen to the advice of the ancestors, come out, let go of the wife." “

Chu Lingxuan looked at the Zhao family, who was still unconscious, who was carried in. He didn't want to continue to watch the excitement, so he comforted Chen Shiying a few words and said goodbye and went home.

Chen Afu listened to Chu Lingxuan's words, and smiled crookedly, that evil old woman finally got her retribution. There is also the son of the county lieutenant Ding who forced the original owner to death before, and last year, Manager Luo found an opportunity to let people participate in their father and son bullying men and women, and did all kinds of evil, so that they went to prison. Think about the original owner's spirit in heaven, it should rest in peace, right?

Three days later, Chen Afu took Chu Hanyan, Li Xuan, Yu Ge'er and Ming Ge'er to Chen's mansion in a soft sedan chair.

Tomorrow, the clan elders will go back to their hometown, and she, accompanied by the Jiang family, went to the courtyard where they lived and gave Cheng Yi a hundred taels of silver.

The Jiang family is well-dressed and in excellent spirits.

She told Chen Afu that Chen Shiying sent people back to Zhaojia Village to explain the situation, and the clansmen of Zhaojia Village did not dare to accept the Zhao family. The current patriarch is not the original brother of the Zhao family, and that person is in prison because of the fish and meat neighbors and forcibly occupying the fields.

Not only did the patriarch not take it, but even Li Zheng of Zhaojia Village was unwilling to accept it. Now that the girl of the Zhao family is not easy to marry, and the Zhao family has gone back, won't the girl be even more unable to marry. They said that Zhao's father and brother had died, and Zhao belonged to the "three no-gos".

There are three women who do not go, and some who marry have nowhere to return and do not go; With more three years of mourning, do not go; The former poor and the latter rich, do not go.

Those three, the Zhao family occupies all of them.

The elder of the Chen family discussed for a moment and said, "If the Zhao family doesn't take it, the Chen family can't stay, and the Zhao family only has two ways, one is to become a monk directly, and the other is to 'die of illness'." ”

Chen Shiying couldn't, she said for a long time, she was still a woman, but she didn't send it back to the Zhao family, but asked people to buy a small farm yard on the outskirts of Dingzhou Mansion, place the Zhao family there, and send a mother-in-law to take care of her.
