Chapter 259: Substitute for the Dead Ghost

Mrs. Hu's crying slowly stopped, and she didn't object to going back to her parents' house to avoid the limelight, but she would still take care of their mother and daughter, and what did it mean that the expenses would not be less?

Hu Shilang had a weak heart, avoided Mrs. Hu's eyes, and persuaded in a low voice: "This is also for the Hu family, madam, you can be wronged, I will definitely find a good in-law for my two daughters, and after I pay tribute, I will go back to the countryside to stay with you."

"Master Hu, Hu Shizhang, you really have a good calculation." Mrs. Hu laughed angrily, "Do you want to take the opportunity to divorce me and marry another young and beautiful goblin to enter the door?"

Being scolded by a woman pointing his nose, Hu Shilang was also a little annoyed and angry, and said: "My daughter has done this kind of thing, you are a mother who is to blame, am I doing this for myself?

"That's a nice thing to say." Mrs. Hu laughed, but her face was distorted, quite sad, "Yes, you have the entire Hu family, I have two daughters and a husband who is ready to abandon me when the disaster comes, Lord Hu, I have to speak of conscience, I worked hard for the Hu family day and night, so that I slipped twice and could not give birth again, for this reason I endured my mother-in-law's complaints, gave you a concubine and gave birth to children, took care of your concubines, served the two mothers-in-law, and maneuvered between several brothers and daughters-in-law. Be sure not to let your reputation lose a little, for this reason I can't take care of the upbringing of my two daughters, and now that something goes wrong, you have to divorce me, okay!

"You dare?" Hu Shilang remembered some unsightly things in the past, and suddenly became a little afraid.

"I'm going to be divorced, why don't you dare?" Mrs. Hu sneered again and again, "It's you, if you have the guts, you will strangle me to death, but I don't think you have the courage to kill your wife."

"You ......" Hu Shilang trembled with anger, "Okay.Since you say so, prepare a dowry for Ping'er, she must marry Hong Gongzi."

After a long time, she stood up alone, tidied up her appearance, and did not tell the maid, so she used the cold water in the basin in the house to clean her face, and then used cold water to compress her red and swollen eyes for a long time.

Hu Dongping was attracted by his father's maid Yun Niang in the middle of the banquet, and then he was locked up in his own room.

She knew that it must be the design of Mengyan's matter to be revealed, but she didn't know how bad things were, Yun Niang's tone was very tight, and she didn't say a word, which made her itchy and hard to catch, but she couldn't, and she didn't dare to make a big noise, so she could only wait patiently, until the time of the lamp, she said she was hungry, Yun Niang didn't mean to let people send food, she waited for a long time, the more she thought about it, the more scared she became, could it be that the matter was too big, even her father and mother couldn't suppress it?

Hu Dongping regretted it a little, this matter was too reckless, he should think of a more secure way, but the time was too tight, and some things didn't have time to plan carefully, but now is not the time to regret it, as long as she doesn't admit it, it won't be okay without evidence, and she must bite the bullet and not admit it.

The dark room, not even the lights were lit, Hu Dongping just stayed, and many thoughts involuntarily flashed in his mind, including what would happen to her after the matter was revealed, the more she thought about it, the more afraid she became, she was about to collapse, and at this moment, there were footsteps outside, as well as her mother's voice.

As if he had met a savior, Hu Dongping hurriedly leaned on the window and shouted: "Mother, mother."

Mrs. Hu ordered someone to open the door of the room, and asked people to light the lamp, and after the house was bright, she withdrew all the maids, and looked at the daughter of the wolf bèi quietly.

Hu Dongping pretended to be calm and said, "Mother, why are you looking at your daughter like this?"

"You don't know?" Mrs. Hu asked rhetorically.

"Daughter...... How does my daughter know?" Hu Dongping made up his mind in advance, and if he didn't let go, he naturally didn't say anything.

Mrs. Hu sighed, stroked her daughter's cheek, and said softly: "My son, you and my mother and daughter, what can't you say......? You tell your mother honestly, if it has anything to do with you, you must tell the truth, your mother can help you, you are a smart child, and it will not be good for you to make up nonsense to lie to your mother at this time."

"The daughter really doesn't know anything, what happened to the mother?" Hu Dongping pretended to be innocent, but her trembling voice and flashing eyes betrayed her.

Knowing her daughter Mo Ruo's mother, Mrs. Hu said disappointedly: "If you don't want to say it, forget it, your mother won't force you, your mother just wants to sue you, this matter is too big today, your father and even the entire Hu family can't afford it, so you can only wronged you, you should repay your parents for their nurturing grace."

"Mother, mother, don't ...... Don't scare your daughter, what the hell is going on?" Hu Dongping stammered a little, and his body trembled involuntarily.

Mrs. Hu couldn't bear to see her daughter's frightened appearance, turned her back to wipe a handful of tears, and said in a low voice: "Your father asked you to marry Hong Gongzi."

"That Hong Gongzi?" Hu Dongping couldn't believe it.

"Hong Daotai's second son, Hong Zhihao." Mrs. Hu said these words, and then she saw Hu Dongping screaming.

"Mother, mother, do you know what kind of person this Hong Zhihao is, how can you let your daughter marry this kind of person?" Hu Dongping was stunned for a long time, and suddenly reacted, like grasping a life-saving straw, he grabbed Mrs. Hu's arm and shook it vigorously.

This Hong Er Gongzi is a well-known anxious pervert, and he is bold and likes to steal incense and jade, but she inquired for a long time before she heard that such a No. 1 person, a little bit of heart will not be so easy to be fooled, she also thought about what Hong Zhihao should do if he is not fooled? But guessed the psychology of this pretentious and amorous pervert, even if he feels that something is wrong, he will not shout about this indiscriminately, and if he is bolder, he may even take the letter to threaten Miss Meng San, and if he is more timid, he will act as if nothing happened. sent all the people involved, no one had evidence, and no one could do anything to her.

But why, why did her mother ask her to marry the second son of Hong?

Mrs. Hu was scratched by her daughter's nails, but she held back her life, and said with tears: "You have done this kind of thing, what should you do if you still want your mother? Miss Meng San is fine, but Hong Ergongzi slipped into the inner courtyard but was caught, he said everything, and in front of Hong Daotai and Ding Wangye, he also took out the letter that you made people forge. The incident happened to the Hu family. Under such a situation where the evidence is conclusive, the Hu family is meat on the board, and can only be slaughtered by others, and now they want you to marry to prevent any gossip from spreading in the future. What kind of people are Prince Ning and Hong Daotai? Your father is just a squire, how can our family afford to provoke it? Not to mention that there is so much evidence, even if there is nothing. They insist that you marry the second son of Hong, and it is difficult for our family to refuse. Refusal is a feud between several families, do you know?"

When the matter came, although Mrs. Hu and Hu Shilang were almost opposed, they still left a little room to prevent their daughter from resenting her father, so as not to make her life more sad in the future.

"No, my daughter would rather die than marry this kind of adulterer, this is not what my daughter did, it is ...... They were the ones who framed their daughter." Hu Dongping cried and shook his head, seeing that his mother was unmoved, he simply gritted his teeth and slammed into the wall.

"Ping'er."

Mrs. Hu was shocked and didn't catch it, she didn't grasp it, Hu Dongping had already hit the wall, and I don't know if Mrs. Hu grabbed a handful of buffers or Hu Dongping didn't use force originally, but just bumped it lightly, and her forehead was swollen with a small bag, and the skin was not broken, but it was enough to make Mrs. Hu feel distressed to death.

Hu Dongping cried and said: "Mother, just let your daughter die, your daughter is clean when she dies, you have such a son-in-law in the province, and your daughter will not be guilty of marrying in the past, it is your daughter's fault that she has done something wrong."

"My son, you can't do this, how can you call your mother like this?" Mrs. Hu also burst into tears, the mother and daughter hugged their heads and cried, and after a while, Mrs. Hu hated the iron-clad and said, "Ping'er, why are you so confused? Why did you do such a thing?"

Although Hu Dongping has been crying, her brain has not stopped, as early as when she was imprisoned, she began to think of countermeasures, now combined with her mother's words, weighing the pros and cons, knowing that it is useless to deny it completely, if Zhu Ruoliu and they must have done it all, their own girl's family can no longer control the overall situation, and now only by seeking the mercy of her parents and using the family power can she pass the test.

There must be a sympathetic excuse for asking for the mercy of the parents, and the real reason must not be said, so you can make up an impossible verifiable, after thinking about it, she cried and said: "My daughter hates the Meng family, the Meng family killed Brother Jin, I hate them."

"Brother Jin, that Brother Jin?" Mrs. Hu couldn't think of any son surnamed Jin who was close to their family for a while.

"Brother Jin Li, has my mother forgotten? He used to come to our house to play when he was a child, when he was in Huicheng," Hu Dongping reminded, his eyes a little shy.

Mrs. Hu remembered it, she was very shocked, this was how many years ago, at that time her daughter was only five or six years old, and her husband was just a petty official who was not willing to go out, and Master Jin was also an official in the same place, all of them were Yancheng clans, all of them were excluded because of factional struggles in the court, the two families were closer to each other, and their children often played together when they were young, but soon their husband was transferred to other places, and the two families had a mediocre relationship, and then broke off contact, and then their family returned to Yancheng, I heard that Master Jin died a few years ago, and there is no need to contact him.

The reason why she remembers this Jin Oak is because not long ago, the Meng family's carriage accidentally hit and killed the son of the Jin family, although the Jin master died, but his younger brother was in the capital, and the matter was not small, but after all, it was an accident, the Mengjin family has never had any contact, and there was a Ding Wang Ye to testify, the Meng family lost a lot of money, and the saint also demoted the Meng family to three levels, and the result of such a treatment cannot be said to be unfair.

But why did her daughter get involved with Jin Oak, and why didn't she know anything about it? Mrs. Hu was completely confused.

Hu Dongping blushed and said in a low voice: "My daughter and Brother Jin have known each other since childhood, when I was a child, Brother Jin often said that I wanted to marry my daughter as a daughter-in-law, and my daughter always remembered, but my mother must not misunderstand...... He remembered his daughter, and we said a few words and nothing else...... Brother Jin said that if there was a fate, he would come to the door to propose marriage, and his daughter had been waiting, but he didn't expect it......"

If it is usual, Mrs. Hu will definitely scold her daughter for giving and receiving it privately, but now thinking back to the appearance of Jin Oak Yuyan's love back then, she must be a beautiful man when she grows up, and she is a childhood sweetheart...... Now I can only sigh.

Hu Dongping peeked at Mrs. Hu's expression, and then cried again: "It's all Miss Meng's shameless. [,!] clinging to the powerful and designing to kill Brother Jin, it was them."

There are different opinions about Jin Li's death, but the matter has already been dealt with by the saints, and the Jin family is not dissatisfied, so it has passed, and the matter ruled by the saints cannot be discussed too much, and the family members of the unjust sufferers have not shouted. Who dares to meddle in things? Pity the daughter's infatuation.

Mrs. Hu couldn't find words of comfort or condemnation, although they were all young, their sweetheart died suddenly, her daughter's family couldn't bear it for a while, she was resentful, and it was inevitable that she wanted to be crooked, she stroked her daughter's back and said: "Poor Ping'er, people can't be resurrected after death, why are you suffering?"

Hu Dongping wiped a handful of tears, stared at his eyes and said in a low voice: "My daughter knows that she is wrong, she does this kind of thing, and her daughter doesn't want to affect the whole family, so her mother will forgive her daughter for being unfilial and can't repay her parents' nurturing kindness, but her daughter really can't marry Hong Zhihao, her daughter is willing to die, and instead of dying after suffering humiliation, please ask her mother to fulfill her daughter, right?"

After Hu Dongping finished speaking, he knelt down directly, his head slammed on the ground, and he seemed to kneel down very sincerely to beg his mother for permission.

Mrs. Hu's heart is wrenching, she has nothing to say and can't comfort her, her flower-like daughter knows how to read and retreat, who doesn't boast when she sees a noblewoman in the stable, who doesn't want to marry her as a daughter-in-law, what kind of Hong Zhihao she has never seen, maybe the one who does this kind of thing is definitely the three people on the street, how can her daughter be ruined by such a thief? But can't you really let your daughter die like this?

Unable to think of an idea, Mrs. Hu could only cry again.

Hu Dongping cried again at the right time, "It's the daughter who is wrong, the daughter is not filial, and the mother is embarrassed, in this case, it is better for the daughter to marry into the Hong family and die, so as not to affect the mother's family, and no one will embarrass her father and mother if she dies in the Hong family."

"Ping'er, my hard-working child, you must not!" Mrs. Hu hugged her daughter's thin body tightly, for fear that if she was not careful, her daughter would die like that.

"The daughter doesn't want to, and the daughter can't bear her mother." Hu Dongping secretly wiped the corners of his eyes, brewing enough, and said while crying, "My daughter is confused for a while, I heard the third sister say that she was worried about the Dong family's relatives, and said that Miss Meng is so fierce, this Mrs. Dong is their aunt, she really doesn't want to marry, so her daughter ......."

"Your third sister said she didn't want to marry the nephew of the Dong family?" Mrs. Hu frowned, and a gleam flashed in her eyes.

Hu Dongping pretended to be casual and said: "Yes, for this reason, my daughter specially invited Miss Dong to come over and ask secretly, but Miss Dong didn't say anything, but the maid next to her said that she leaked her mouth, saying that the nephew of the Dong family was young and had ...... around her There are people, Mrs. Dong is extremely strict, the third sister is afraid, but she doesn't dare to tell the third aunt, so today she led the Meng sisters to visit the garden, and when she saw the Xiuwen county lord embarrassed the Meng sisters, she took the opportunity to leave Miss Meng San and slip away, and told her daughter to let her daughter say something about her in front of the Meng sisters...... The woman also wants to help the third sister, and the third sister is also pitiful, her temperament is so soft, she doesn't dare to say anything, and the daughter thinks that in this way, she can not only help Brother Jin avenge, but also help the third sister."

"Your third sister is indeed good!" Mrs. Hu gritted her teeth and said that, she felt that her daughter could do such a big thing alone, it turned out that there was a Hu Dongmei next to her, maybe these maids who bit out their daughters were also bought by the third room, this Hu Dongmei seems to be weak, but she is full of tricks, she is not satisfied with her family affairs and dare not tell her parents, but she dragged her sisters into the water, and now, her daughter has suffered, but Hu Dongmei has nothing to do, and she got rid of a family affair that she doesn't like. How can there be such a cheap thing, the mother and daughter of the third room have a virtue, they all look like they have no quarrel with the world, and the wicked people let others do it.

"Mother." Hu Dongping begged, "Mother, don't tell the third aunt about this, otherwise the third sister will definitely be unhappy."

"Mother won't say that." Pity her daughter still defending this third sister at this time, Mrs. Hu said hatefully, secretly but quickly calculated, after making up her mind, she patted her daughter's hand and said, "Ping'er, mother will find a way to do this, no matter what, she will not let you marry that prodigal."

As long as someone can marry him, he may not need his own daughter, and now there is a better candidate? (To be continued)
