225, Fang Yuting's death
It's just that Fang Yulu, the host of the treat, never mentioned it, and it was not easy to mention it, so he just didn't have this person and went to the garden.
Looking at the previous square house, gorgeous and dazzling, luxurious and brilliant, now it has become a simple and mellow dress, but it makes many tasteful ladies smile and say nothing, and some of them who can't hold their breath begin to marvel.
"I saw this bottle in Houguzhai, and said that it was something from the official kiln of the previous dynasty, but now the official kiln is no longer open, and it can no longer be burned. A lady pointed to the specially set up kang platform on the window edge of the flower hall and the decorations placed on it and said, "Look at it, it tastes." ”
Decorating with such half-worn things is the custom of some eunuchs. It does not look like a nouveau riche, but it can also get the background, which makes people see that the price is expensive.
It was full of praise along the way.
When Fang Yulu was in charge of the Chen family, she had never been so proud as she was today, and she forgot her roots for a while, and said with a smile: "As long as it's good." ”
"It's not vulgar, and it's not you, the girl who got married, who has the final say. Fang Yuting smiled and said, "Yes, second sister-in-law." ”
He Jiaxian followed behind everyone, originally the guest came to greet her, she should be responsible in front, but Fang Yulu felt that she was invited to the banquet by herself, and she had to lead the way to explain, and she didn't fight for this false name.
At this moment, seeing Fang Yuting calling her name, she smiled and passed.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Fang Yuting felt bored, and walked to the back to talk to He Jiaxian.
After playing, someone came over and said that the troupe invited by Aunt Mei had arrived, and everyone went over to listen to the play.
Many people are more and more curious about Aunt Mei, and feel that this person is deeply hidden, saying that she is a concubine, but she feels thoughtful, generous, well-educated, and decent.
But Aunt Mei never came out.
Instead, Ying'er ran over to Yuting and said, "Miss, the slave just saw the maid brought back by the fourth aunt talking to the coachman in front of your carriage, and I don't know what to do." ”
Fang Yuting was stunned for a moment, patrolling the crowd, looking for Fang Yulu, only to realize that there was no one to be seen, and the guests were He Jiaxian and Zhou.
She sighed in her heart and said to Ying'er: "Go see where the fourth aunt and grandmother are, come and go back to me." ”
Before the words fell, I saw Fang Yulu's personal maid sneaking past from behind the stage, and hurriedly raised her head to let Ying'er follow.
Ying'er has passed a long time and has not returned. Looking at the venue again, from Fang Yulu to the few maids who came back with her, all of them were gone.
Thinking about it, she left so many important guests, probably something more important.
In addition, Fang Yulu suddenly returned to her parents' house like this, she already felt strange, and she had no time to think about it at the moment, so she hurriedly chased after Ying'er's past.
I saw that behind the stage was a corner gate, out of the corner gate, it was Mao'er Hutong, she glanced at it a few times, and a familiar figure flashed from the corner.
Fang Yuting secretly said that it was not good, she hurriedly lifted her skirt and followed, looked left and right at no one, chased after her a few times, and said to the figure in front of her: "From the uncle......"
The man turned around, but he wasn't from the family, who was the uncle?
The little guy who followed beside him was clever, and when he saw that it was Fang Yuting, he was stunned for a moment to see the face of the uncle.
When the uncle saw her walking towards him, his face turned pale and he understood in an instant, and the other party Yuting said angrily: "Who are you? Why do you call me?"
Fang Yuting also reacted immediately, but before she could speak, a large group of men suddenly poured into the alley behind Fang Yuting, blocking the two of them, and one of the leaders said loudly: "There are people here who have a private meeting! ”
His voice was so loud that the rest of the crowd burst into laughter. didn't feel much embarrassed, and didn't wait for the uncle to speak, and immediately dispersed in a hurry.
Fang Yuting realized that she had fallen into the trap, but it was too late to get out, but the uncle from the family was already pale, and waved his hand back to pass her - the other end of the alley was blocked.
It's just that he didn't take a few steps before retreating, Xiao Jinan stood at the mouth of the alley with a pale face, and the little guy who followed beside him couldn't stop trembling with his hands and feet.
This kind of thing can't be covered even if you want to.
Xiao Jinan didn't talk to the uncle, but only to the little girl: "Send grandma back home." ”
After a while, the hat alley returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.
It's just that this kind of news instantly reached the ears of the ladies who were still listening to the play on the stage.
A maid walked in and chattered in her master's ear.
Another maid walked in......
Without a cup of tea, all the ladies couldn't watch the play on the stage, and turned their heads and ears.
Even people like He Jiaxian who didn't care about it heard about it, and they were startled, and hurriedly asked who passed on Hongmei.
Hongmei said: "It's spread on the street, and many people have seen it." The second aunt and grandmother have been escorted back by Lord Shiro. ”
He Jiaxian was stunned, and he didn't know if it was true or not, he would rather believe that it was false and asked Hongmei to inquire about the situation.
Hongmei went and didn't come back until the banquet was over, saying that she found Ying'er, she was locked up by Fang Yulu, and she was put back because she brought her a sentence: "The second grandmother promised to save our grandmother's life." Grandma said that something happened to her, and the second grandmother went to find our family. ”
He Jiaxian was stunned for a moment, remembering what he had promised Fang Yuting in order to be ranran.
Looking for Xiao Jin'an?
Is this true? So you want her to go and ask Xiao Jin'an?
That's where it is.
It's just that before she can figure it out, there are already rumors in Yanzhou City that are flying all over the sky - Mrs. Cong heard about Uncle Cong, and called the little guy to interrogate, but she didn't ask anything, and Uncle Cong was framed one by one.
On the Hou Mansion's side, it happened to be the opposite of the way to calm the family and get rid of suspicion. Xiao Jin'an, the squire, sued the yamen of the state capital from the uncle, saying that he had deceived the women of the good family and provided a series of evidence.
Including the silk handkerchiefs that the two of them gave and received privately, the letters exchanged and the confessions that Fang Yuting confessed.
The city was shocked.
For the first time, I heard that a man wore a cuckold and took the initiative to admit it, and he was going to make a storm in the city.
When He Jiaxian talked to Fang Qirui about this matter, Fang Qirui said: "You probably don't know that Uncle Congjia and Xiao Jinan are fighting for the position of the officials in the capital, Xiao Jinan is the sponsor of Master Hou, and Uncle Congjia is the accumulation of so many years. ”
"But the uncle of the family is immoral, and Xiao Jinan is also ashamed. I'm afraid that everyone will laugh at him behind his back. The two of them were both defeated, could he still have the face to take office?" He Jiaxian couldn't figure it out.
This kind of thing is poked out, and it is impossible to follow the uncle. But Xiao Jinan also has risks - it is also a sin to not be strict in governing the family.
Fang Qirui said: "I don't know much about this kind of officialdom, so I still listen to what others say." Maybe he had other plans. ”
Xiao Jinan did not get the position given by the ministry in the matter, and did not go to the capital.
He scolded Chen Cong's uncle for seducing his wife in the yamen of the state capital, causing him to lose face, and he didn't say much else.
Fang Yuting also changed her tone in court, and always said that she was persecuted by her uncle, persecuted her with Xiao Jinan's career, and persecuted her with her life and honor, crying blood for every word she said.
When asked why the two of them had a private meeting in Mao'er Hutong since it was persecution, Fang Yuting's eyes flashed with hatred, saying that the uncle from the family asked the officials to give the position in the matter, so she asked her to drug Xiao Jinan. She couldn't bear it anymore, so she found someone to break the adultery, just seeking the truth and saving herself from being controlled by others all the time.
All of a sudden, Xiao Jinan and his family became victims.
It is a matter of the reputation of court officials, and the state government does not dare to be good at it, so it is reported layer by layer.
The uncle was dismissed because of conclusive evidence of the crime. This is still for the sake of several generations of the family serving the court, and it is light.
When He Jiaxian saw the verdict, he didn't expect that Xiao Jinan's purpose had anything to do with the matter given by the ministry.
Before she could figure it out, Ying'er quietly came to her: "Grandma said it, you promised her." ”
If something like this happens, the family will not let her go, and she herself has no reputation, if she still has the face to live, it should be a shame for the Hou Mansion and the Fang family.
He Jiaxian didn't expect Fang Yuting to use the last promise here, but he thought of Fang Yuting's entrustment, and he really didn't want to lose his trust, so he still went to the Hou Mansion immediately as his mother's sister-in-law, after Fang Yuting returned from the yamen.
Xiao Jinan was very surprised to see her, and his eyes stayed on her jasper-like face for a long time before he made a gesture, not forgetting the etiquette: "What's the matter with the second sister-in-law?"
He Jiaxian discussed with Fang Qirui, and they both felt that human life was precious, if Fang Yuting was willing, she still wanted to ask her to get a letter of resignation, even if she didn't go back to Fang's house, she could buy a house to live outside.
After that, I am going to talk about it.
"As for the burned house, we will compensate the Hou Mansion with silver. The Fang family's goddaughter is not strict, and he also asked the waiter to raise his noble hand and remember the friendship between husband and wife in the past few years. "Ho Ka Yin is sincere.
Xiao Jinan was stunned for a moment before he said, "Then do you know what she has done over the years? Have you forgotten the lives of your fifth sister?"
As soon as his words came out, He Jiaxian's eyes were red, and he said in a muffled voice: "That has nothing to do with this matter, injustice is injustice, and grace is grace." Please also make it convenient for me and her brother to pick her up. ”
"Go back, I didn't divorce her, how can I take her back?" Xiao Jinan frowned, and when he heard the word "her brother", he looked behind her, but he didn't see Fang Qirui's figure.
He Jiaxian saw what he thought: "My father-in-law will come soon." ”
Fang Qirui was busy negotiating a deal, and he didn't come over until he was done.
Xiao Jinan smiled dumbly, secretly saying that he was too careful.
He Jiaxian said: "If the adults are unwilling to release people, then please treat the second sister well, she is also a victim." I'll come and see her every day. ”
After saying that, he was about to leave.
"Victim?" Xiao Jinan sneered in his heart, looking at He Jiaxian who seemed to be serious and felt that Fang Yuting was a victim, and asked, "Don't you think she has disgraced the Fang family?"
"Shamed? She was persecuted, it was not her intention, why was she humiliated?" He Jiaxian was puzzled.
Xiao Jinan looked at her with a look of ignorance, and the other party Yuting looked innocent, and finally understood: "She called you here." In the entire Fang family, you are the only one who can save her. ”
Ho Ka-hyun did not deny it.
Xiao Jinan sighed: "You take her away." ”
He Jiaxian was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Xiao Jinan changed his mind, but he also knew that the opportunity was rare, so he quickly thanked him, and ordered Hongmei to send a small servant to call Fang Qirui to pick up people.
Hongmei has not yet left the gate of the Hou Mansion, and Fang Qirui has already come. The two of them didn't have time to talk to each other, discussing why Xiao Jinan let people go so easily, and quickly went to the backyard to carry Fang Yuting out.
Those who sue the magistrates shall be punished with the rod first.
Fang Yuting was forced to suffer 20 rods before she was qualified to go to court to intercede, and only then did she have the disposition of dismissal from her uncle.
Fang Yuting was lying on a stretcher that had been converted into a door panel, looking all the way from the backyard to the corner door, but she never saw Xiao Jinan come out to see her off, and finally there were tears in the corners of her eyes, and she closed her eyes in despair.
At the gate of the Hou Mansion, the newly married wife Su Shi watched the servants carry Fang Yuting into the carriage, took a closer look, and suddenly spit on Fang Yuting's face while people were unprepared: "Slut, you also have today!"
Ying'er hurriedly wiped her face clean with a handkerchief.
But he was slapped in He Jiaxian's face by the Su family, but Fang Qirui grabbed his arm and couldn't move, so he had to scold: "You two sisters-in-law joined forces and picked up their own girls, but they filled in my girl, ruthless and vicious people, retribution is coming, and you can't die well......"
He Jiaxian was stunned. She thought that Mrs. Shizi was very willing to marry the girl and the young master of the family, and she once sweated for the little girl she had never met. Unexpectedly, it was also calculated by Fang Yuting.
I heard Fang Yuting say slowly: "I didn't know that when the young master was sick, weren't you also happy? Speaking of which, if you don't have the mind to climb the dragon, no one will be able to yin you." You're too greedy to be calculated by me!"
"Fart, you slut, I want you to go to eighteen layers of hell after you die......" Mrs. Shizi ignored everyone's courtesy, righteousness and shame, and scolded loudly, and threw all the vicious scolding words she had heard in her life on Fang Yuting's face, still unable to understand her hatred.
"If you scold again, don't blame me for being unkind. Fang Yuting said angrily.
"What's the matter? Now that your legs are crippled, can you still jump up and beat me?
"Your good days are over, you wait. Fang Yuting stopped Ying'er from helping her wipe her face, and slowly followed.
"I dare to speak out if I can't protect myself. Mrs. Shizi snorted coldly. Seeing Fang Yuting being carried away: "Just wait for you to leave the book." ”
The gate of the Fang family was noisy, and the third and fifth ladies, including Aunt Shen, all came out and blocked the door, leading a large number of maids and women to stop He Jiaxian: "The second aunt and grandmother can't go in." He blocked Fang Qirui again: "The second master also wants to give an explanation, don't act arbitrarily just because you are in charge of business now, and don't take the reputation and decency of the Fang family seriously." ”
basically didn't take He Jiaxian in his eyes.
Fang Qirui was stunned for a moment and asked, "How is this not the dignity of the Fang family?
"Why did you die outside?" the third lady said angrily: "Lord Shilang hasn't written a letter of resignation yet, the water spilled by her married daughter is still the second grandmother of the Hou Mansion, why did she bring it back?"
