Hao's mother was wrong, the letter sent by Yueyao was not to the Ma family, but to the Li family. Mrs. Li heard that someone from Lian Mansion had sent a letter, and she knew that it was Yueyao's letter. She looked at the letter with her husband's name written on it and hesitated for a long time, but finally opened it and read it.

Mrs. Li pressed her temples and asked the confidant beside her: "Do you want to give this letter to the master?" She was a little hesitant, but in fact, Mrs. Li didn't want to give this letter to her husband in her heart. Lian's family is not related to them, and Lian's big house is not very compatible with them, and her husband only adds to his troubles when he knows.

The maid thought for a moment and said, "Madam, I still have to tell the master." If you don't say it, the old man will be angry when he finds out. I think the third girl of the Lian family is a reasonable person who will not let the lord and his wife do something embarrassing. ”

Mrs. Li thought for a moment and nodded, and when her husband came back from his errand, Mrs. Li handed the letter to Li Guoxun.

Li Guoxun opened the letter, shook his head and said, "This kid is really difficult for her." "Everyone is lazy when they have time, but Tingzheng is afraid that he will miss his homework, such a diligent child is worthy of pain.

Yue Yao wrote a letter to Li Fu, of course, not to complain to Li Guoxun, let alone ask for help, once she came out, she would be gone. Yueyao just said in the letter that Tingzheng would go to school as usual after Qiqi. Yueyao's explanation is that Ting Zheng has fallen behind a lot of homework during this time, and hopes that Mr. can assign more homework to Ting Zheng, so that he will not be too tired when he goes back to class at that time.

If it is possible, Yueyao hates to send Ting Zheng to the Li family now, and don't let Ting Zheng stay in the wolf's den of the Lian family anymore. But she can't do this, she has to finish the seventh seven, and she can't let Tingzheng continue to study at the Li family until her eldest uncle buries her grandmother back.

Mrs. Li was a little surprised: "Isn't it about rumors?" ”

Li Guoxun asked suspiciously, "What rumors?" "Li Guoxun is busy with government affairs and has no time to listen to those gossip news. Mrs. Li didn't want to make her husband angry by saying these bad things. Because the husband knows that there is nothing to do but be angry, after all, it is someone else's business.

Mrs. Li took the letter and read it carefully, and was very surprised when she read it. She also thought that Yueyao would complain to her husband or ask them for help, but she didn't expect that there was not half a word. After reading the letter and thinking about those rumors, Mrs. Li felt a deep distress.

Seeing his wife's expression, Li Guoxun asked, "Tell me something, is it not good for the two children to be in Lianfu." "It's definitely not a good thing to look at my wife's expression.

Sometimes it's more effective to complain than not to complain. The meaning of Yueyao's letter is Tingzheng's matter, and if there are no rumors, I naturally won't feel anything, but after knowing the rumors, I feel that something is wrong when I look at this letter again. Now that the old lady has only passed away for twenty days, where can she talk about the things after July Seven. Li Guoxun decided that there was something behind this, and it was not a trivial matter.

Mrs. Li also felt sorry for the two children, but it was not their turn to come out of this matter, so she said: "Now it is rumored outside that the two children of Yueyao and Tingzheng are father and mother, and now even the old lady has been killed by these two children." cough, I don't know who spread these heart-wrenching words. ”

Yue Yao didn't include Ting Zheng in the rumors, but Peng Chun added Ting Zheng to the rumors without Yue Yao's knowledge. The reason is very simple, the two are tied together, and the damage suffered by Yueyao is greatly reduced. Because this rumor is not false, Tingzheng's life is harder than Yueyao's. Tingzheng was born with a dead mother; Not long after returning to the main house, Ma and Lian Dongbo were gone; And then there was the old lady. It's more suitable to say that the broom star is Tingzheng, but such rumors are much less harmful to boys.

Li Guoxun slapped the table after hearing this, and said angrily: "Ridiculous, really ridiculous." Li Guoxun received an orthodox Confucian education and did not believe in ghosts and gods.

Mrs. Li was influenced by her husband and didn't believe in these things, but she couldn't stand some people from believing them; There are now rumors outside, saying that Yue Yao and Ting Zheng are a pair of broom star sisters and brothers.

Li Guoxun quickly calmed down after he became angry, it was inconvenient for him to take care of this matter, but his lack of qualifications does not mean that others are not qualified.

And on the same day, there was a new version of the rumor, and after the two children were broom stars, both children almost died. Why did it just come out that the two children were broom stars, and the two children were going to die in the blink of an eye. Soon, some people analyzed that this was someone who wanted to make money, so they deliberately spread such a rumor. Even with Yueyao's rich dowry in her hands, as well as the huge amount of money left by the second master of the Lian family, if the two children are gone, then a large amount of money will naturally fall into the hands of the people behind the scenes. In order to confuse the public, someone was also added who had a grudge against the two sisters and brothers.

As long as people are not stupid, they will not believe the rumors that follow, who can two and a half children have an enmity with? And even if he has a grudge with Lian Dongbo, unless it is the hatred of killing his father and wife, he will not let go of even the half-grown child. All those who heard the rumors believed that someone wanted to kill for money, and who was the biggest beneficiary of the death of two children? Needless to say, it is naturally a big house.

Mo Shi's face was cold when he got the news, and the flower woman beside him trembled all over. Mohs almost gritted his teeth and asked, "What did you say?" This rumor obviously involved her as well, and she was murdered for money, so she almost pointed to her nose and said it.

Hua Pozi also felt a little chill in her heart and said: "Madam, it is said that someone is plotting to harm the third girl and the fourth young master, and the picture is their money." There are many versions of the rumors, but more people believe that this is the murder of their wife, and their own wife does have this plan, if this rumor does not disperse, their own wife's reputation will be tarnished.

Mo quickly calmed down and asked, "Who is it, who is doing the action behind the scenes?" It can't be Aunt Chen? Aunt Chen doesn't have such great ability. ”

Hua Pozi didn't find it, but she guessed a person, and said: "Madam, you said it wouldn't be the third girl herself...... If so, the third girl is too terrible." If a person doesn't even want fame, what else would she be afraid of?

Mo Shi glanced at Hua Pozi and said, "It can't be her, she is the first to be unlucky to do this." "is rumored to be a broom star, her reputation is tarnished first, and it will not be good to go to her in-law's house in the future.

Hua Pozi thought about it for a while and felt that it was not, and asked, "Madam, what should I do now?" "This rumor is very bad for them.

Mo thought for a long time and said, "Let me think about it." After a long while, he said, "Go and ask Aunt Su to come over." "Aunt Su is Mo's think tank, and she has given Mo's a lot of good advice over the years.

Aunt Su was shocked when she heard this, according to Aunt Su's analysis, the person behind the scenes was none other than the third girl, and said: "Madam, except for the third girl, the concubine thinks of no other people. "No one else can do it, whether it's human, material or financial.

Mo shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be her, she can't get good if she does this?" ”

Aunt Su thought that it was the third girl who did it. But she can't say the reason, can she say that the third girl must have known your plans for a long time, so she will strike first.

Aunt Su is becoming more and more worried now, she used to think that although the third girl had the means, she was very restrained and couldn't let go, but now she can even ignore her own reputation, can such a person and Mrs. really fight? Aunt Su is getting less and less confident. But she also knew that it was impossible to get Madame to stop, and she and Madame were grasshoppers on a rope, and no one could escape.

Mo snorted coldly: "It's open-minded." Then he wondered: "What did you say Ma told her?" makes the three girls so unreasonable. ”

Aunt Su didn't know, and no one would know if the third girl didn't say it. But Aunt Su is more and more sure of one thing, that is, her daughter must not be allowed to have too much contact with Yueyao, one person can even roast herself on the fire, let alone care about the life or death of others.

Aunt Su whispered, "Madam, the third girl can't stay." "Keeping the three girls is a disaster.

Mo Shi looked at Aunt Su, and finally sighed slightly: "I'll talk about this later." "Even if you want to make the three girls disappear, it shouldn't be this time, otherwise it will confirm this rumor.

Aunt Su saw Mo's refusal, her heart sank, and she smiled bitterly, she also thought that the third girl had hurt herself eight hundred before killing the enemy, but now she knew that even if she hurt herself eight hundred, it was worth it. The three girls are guarding against them from killing people and taking money.

Zhuang Ruolan naturally heard this rumor, Zhuang Ruolan did not approve of Yueyao's strategy, shook her head and said: "There are thousands of plans, this kind of action is the next step." Ahem, this kid has no one around to guide him. "If there were someone around to guide them, they would not use such a strategy, and no matter what means they used to treat the enemy, they would not be able to touch themselves. I think that when she designed her half-sister at the time, even her father thought that her sister was inappropriate and had little to do with her. Of course, Bao hated her to the core.

Caiyi said a fair word: "The cousin girl is different from the girl." ”

Ruolan nodded and said: "It's different, it is said that she used to be very favored by her eldest uncle and eldest aunt, and she has always been addicted to calligraphy and painting, and it is not easy to think of such a strategy." "She has been with her grandmother since she was sensible, and since she was eight years old, she has been with her aunt and housekeeper, and she has seen a lot of these intrigues, and she is naturally handy in using them; And Yueyao was soaked from a honey pot, and it was not easy to deal with Moh.

Caiyi shook her head and said, "Girl, it's not just a matter of fighting. Girl, the rumors may come true. For the sake of money, Mo may really be poisonous. "Taking advantage of the funeral, I said that I was sick and gone. Silently, even if the Ma family wanted to come forward, they couldn't find evidence. After all, illness and death, it is providence, and it has nothing to do with them.

Ruolan was stunned, and after a while, she smiled bitterly: "What you said is right." Yueyao is different from me. "The maids and mothers-in-law around her were all given by her grandmother, and she was very wary of Bao in the past, and Bao had no chance to do it. But Yueyao is different, thinking of this, Ruolan sighed and said, "That kid is really not easy. ”

Caiyi whispered, "Girl, are we going to help my cousin?" ”

Ruolan shook her head and said, "No, if she needs our help, she will bring it up herself." "It's not that Ruolan doesn't take the initiative to help, it's better to rely on others than on herself, asking for help is only done when she has to do it, and Ruolan feels that Yueyao has done a good job. It's really nice to be able to do this without outside help.

Ma Chengteng handed over his errand and was about to go home, when there was a thunderclap in the sky, like a big iron ball falling from the sky, rolling and roaring. Suddenly, a dazzling lightning bolt swept through the sky, and the sky emitted a thunderous sound of landslides and cracks, shaking the whole body of the person to shrink together.

Whoa...... It was pouring rain.

Ma Chengteng stood at the door of the yamen and said to his colleagues: "This rain comes and goes quickly. It is estimated that it will be gone in a while. After speaking, he turned back to the yamen, preparing to wait for the rain to stop before leaving.

The rain hasn't stopped, Ma Peng came over, Ma Peng came to deliver an umbrella, and when he walked in, his whole body was stained with water.

Ma Chengteng's colleague said with a smile: "Ling Gongzi is really filial. "The yamen provides lunch, but it is not very tasty. The Ma family would send a few fresh dishes at noon every day, and the colleagues went home to complain to their wives, but their wives also sent delicious meals the next day, and everyone benefited together.

Ma Chengteng knew that he actually got the benefits of his son, and his daughter-in-law sent delicious meals to his son, and his father-in-law was incidental. But he is not jealous, it is a good thing that his son and daughter-in-law have a good relationship. Although he was incidental, he found his shortcomings in this incident. In the past few months, he has corrected some of his problems, and his popularity has become very good, he has become one with his colleagues, and his errands have been much easier than before.

Ma Chengteng is now more and more satisfied with his eldest son, he has performed well in the Hanlin Academy, has a good relationship with his colleagues, and is filial to himself. However, thinking of his youngest son, Ma Chengteng was a little anxious. He had already invited Mr., but Mr. resigned after a month of teaching, and he didn't teach even more money, and he said that children can't be taught.

The heavy rain outside has turned into a light rain, and I heard a clicking sound when I went out. The two fathers and sons walked halfway but were stopped, and a man in a green cloth shirt handed Ma Chengteng a letter and said, "This is a letter from my lord to my lord." After the end, Li Guoxun's name was also reported.

Ma Chengteng was a little strange, Li Guoxun was looking for something to do, but after reading the letter, he was furious and said angrily: "It's hateful, it's really hateful." After speaking, he shouted at the coachman: "Go to Lianjia." ”

Ma Peng didn't know why his father was so angry all of a sudden, and when Ma Peng knew what was said in the letter, he was also angry, and said: "Dad, even the family bullies people too much, and they can't let them bully my cousin like this." "It's really hateful that my cousin is so well-behaved and lovely, and she is so slandered.

Ma Chengteng nodded and said, "If he can't give us a satisfactory explanation, I will take your cousin back to the mansion." ”

Ma Peng naturally agreed.

Ma Chengteng was very satisfied with Ma Peng's reaction. My son can have today thanks to Yueyao, and it is appropriate to stand up for Yueyao, but not now, it is enough to have him come forward, and before the time for his son to come forward, he said: "You go back first, even if I go home." ”

Ma Peng thought about it, if the father and son went to say that the formation would be a little bigger; Although Lian Jia is responsible for this matter, it is difficult to take my cousin to their house, and Lian Jia will not release people, especially at this cusp of the storm, and will not let people go, and replied: "Okay". When it's time for him to help his cousin out, he will never be ambiguous.

Ma Chengteng said to the steward of the Lian family with a gloomy face: "I have something to look for your master." "It's a pity that Lian Dongfang is not in the mansion at this time.

As soon as the steward looked at this look, he knew that Ma Chengteng was here to find trouble, thinking of those rumors, he didn't have to think about it to know what it was for. The steward sent someone to invite his master back, and at the same time informed the eldest young master in the mansion.

Ma Chengteng didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "Which courtyard are you four young masters in?" Take me to him. "The first thing Ma Chengteng wanted to see was naturally Yueyao; It's just that Yueyao lives in the inner courtyard, and if he is a foreign man, if he is not accompanied by a man from the Ma family, then the reasonableness will become unreasonable.

Ting Zheng has already been registered in Ma's name, and he is also a serious nephew for Ma Chengteng. The person in charge also knew that this matter was afraid that it would not be good, and he did not dare to perfunctory Ma Chengteng, so he immediately led Ma Chengteng to the Evergreen Academy.

Tingzheng will not go to Lanxi Courtyard in the courtyard. Ma Chengteng was still relieved and bluntly said that this is a good boy.

Tingli was running between the temple and the family during this time, and the people in the mansion would not tell him these rumors, so Tingli didn't know what was going on; thought that Ma Chengteng came over because he heard that Yue Yao and Ting Zheng were sick and came to visit. But when he came over, he saw Ma Chengteng's angry expression, and he knew that something was wrong.

Ma Chengteng saw Tingli, he would not embarrass his juniors as an elder, and scolding Tingli would not solve the problem, but would make him be charged with an unreasonable name, and said: "I'm going to see Yueyao, you lead the way!" "There will be no right and wrong when you lead the way to the backyard.

Tingli didn't know what was going on, and replied, "Uncle, please come here." "Tingli and Yueyao are of the same generation, and it is not wrong to call uncle. If it was usual, Ma Chengteng would naturally respond, but today Ma Chengteng has a fire in his heart, and he shouldn't have a calm face.

Ma Chengteng arrived at Lanxi Courtyard, and Hao's mother got the news and hurriedly told Yueyao. Yueyao breathed a sigh of relief, she couldn't hold her breath if her uncle didn't come again.

In the past two days, Yueyao has been lying in bed in order to pretend to be sick, and she only reads books when no one is around, and she doesn't even dare to get up from the bed, for fear of being exposed.

Ma Chengteng entered the room and saw Yue Yao lying on the bed, her face was a little pale, and Ting was lying on the side of the bed talking to Yue Yao. Yue Yao was surprised and delighted, and asked, "Uncle, why are you here?" "Pretending is a must, and if it's not unexpected at all, it's fake.

Ma Chengteng saw that Yueyao's face was pale, and he didn't have any spirit at all, as if he was not alone from what he saw last time, and said bitterly: "Uncle is late, and you have been wronged." ”

Yue Yao smiled and said, "It's okay, uncle, I can bear it." Yueyao, who was crying bitterly, couldn't do it, but she also had other plans.

Ma Chengteng felt more and more uncomfortable when he saw Yue Yao's expression, and said: "Uncle knows that you have been wronged, don't worry, your uncle will definitely seek justice for you." ”

Yue Yao shook her head, bit her lower lip and said, "Uncle, they say that I am a broom star, and I killed my father and grandmother, so I want to go to the temple to live for a while." Being in the temple should take away my sins. "Yue Yao wants to go to the mountains for a while, of course, going to the temple is the method that Yue Yao has thought of in the past two days, not just to hide quietly.

Tingli was very surprised next to him, what broom star? What's going on.

Ma Chengteng listened to the green tendons on his forehead, and said softly: "Don't believe these nonsense, your father and grandmother have nothing to do with you, don't say such things again in the future." This incident actually hit the niece who wanted to become a nun, which made Ma Chengteng extremely angry.

Ting Li was in a fog, and asked the people around him in a low voice, "What happened?" ”

Where did the people around him dare to say those rumors in front of Ma Chengteng, and replied: "Young Master, I'll tell you later." ”

Mo got the news and snorted coldly, I didn't expect this girl to find a rescuer, what can she do if she finds a rescuer? Mo Shi rushed to Lanxi Courtyard without hurrying.

Ma Chengteng didn't know that Ting Zheng had a fever and couldn't get a doctor, and now that he knew, he was even more angry. Ma Chengteng said to Tingli repeatedly: "The people of your Lianfu are really good, wow." ”

After Ma Chengteng finished speaking, he said to Mother Deng in the house: "Clean up immediately, since there is no room here, go back with your uncle." ”

Tingli's face changed greatly, he didn't know what was going on, and begged: "Uncle, it's our negligence, but this is also too busy and chaotic recently, uncle, don't be angry first." ”

Ma Chengteng snorted coldly: "I can't stand your title like this." ”

Mother Deng stood over there and added fuel to the fire and said, "Girl, do you want to pack up your things?" ”

Yueyao smiled bitterly, she wanted to go to Mafu, but her uncle would not let her go to Mafu if he died, and she couldn't afford to lose this face. Yueyao said weakly: "Mom, you let them go down!" I talked to my uncle. ”

Hao's mother's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly invited Tingli to go out, leaving Yueyao and Tingzheng to accompany Ma Chengteng. Yueyao deliberately let Ting Zheng be by her side, so that Ting Zheng had a plan in his heart, and it would not be easy to be coaxed in the future.

Yue Yao said that she would not go to Ma Mansion.

Ma Chengteng also knew that it was impossible to take Yueyao back, and his uncle, even if he had a falling out, it would not be his uncle's turn, and the etiquette was untenable. It's just that Ma Chengteng remembered what Yue Yao said before about his sister Tuomeng, saying that Mo's face was kind and poisonous, and he wanted to plot the money in Yue Yao's hands, and he became more and more convinced that she made up the matter between Ting Zheng and Yue Yao. If this is the case, in the future, Yue Yao will suffer in Lianfu, then the Mo family will be a vicious person, and he may not even be able to send a letter at that time. No, absolutely not, he must take this opportunity to make a scene, and then ask for convenience.

Yue Yao also had other plans, and said, "Uncle, I really want to go to the temple for a while. Uncle, I'm not angry, I can be quiet for a while when I go to the temple. Uncle, promise me! Yue Yao has already planned, and after Qiqi sends Tingzheng to the Li family, she will go to the temple, at least at the end of the year, and then most of the rumors will naturally disperse, and the province will face other people's colored eyes every day, so she can't stand it herself. And her heart is not quiet now, and it is easy to calm down the whole person by going to the temple for a while.

Ma Chengteng didn't agree, and said, "No, if you don't want to stay in Lianfu, go back with me." Don't worry, your uncle will not let you suffer any more grievances even if he tries his best. ”

Yueyao didn't think about going to Ma Mansion at all. First, the family will not agree; Second, now is the period of heavy filial piety, and going to other people's homes itself is to appear that they do not know the general situation; Thirdly, now that the eldest cousin is pregnant, the uncle and the eldest cousin may not care, but it does not mean that the cousin and the people around the cousin do not care, so it is best to go to the temple for a while.

Ma Chengteng was silent for a while and said, "You don't have to worry about your cousin-in-law, I can still do the affairs of the Ma family." ”

Yue Yao couldn't cry or laugh, the focus was not on whether her cousin-in-law was good or not, and said: "Uncle, I know that my cousin-in-law is very good, but I should avoid this kind of thing myself." Uncle, I'm not angry, I really want to go to the temple for a while. When the time comes, the gossip will dissipate, and I won't be able to stand it if I stay in Lianfu every day. ”

Ma Chengteng still didn't agree, generally only people who made big mistakes would be sent to the temple for cultivation, and Yueyao didn't make a mistake, why should she suffer like this? And the days on the mountain are hard, how can he give up letting his niece go to the temple for several months?

Yue Yao didn't expect Ma Chengteng to be so stubborn, she felt very helpless.

Ting Zheng listened quietly all the time, without interjecting a word. He understood after listening to it for so long, and the people in the mansion forced his sister to hide in the temple. Yueyao asked Mother Deng to take care of the maid and mother-in-law in the yard, and Tingzheng was very obedient in the yard, and he didn't go out, and he didn't know the rumors outside.

Mother Deng shouted outside: "Uncle, girl, the eldest lady is here." ”

Seeing Ma Chengteng's expression, Mo Shi naturally blamed himself for not taking good care of Yueyao and Tingzheng. Her reasons are also very good, the mansion is too busy with big and small things, and it is normal to be negligent.

Ma Chengteng didn't bother to talk to her at all, he didn't feel dirty with his eyes when he looked at such a snake-like woman. Ma Chengteng just stared at Tingli and asked, "Is Lian Dongfang back?" "If you want to find it, you can find Lian Dongfang, he doesn't want to waste words with Mo.

Ma Chengteng's behavior is not out of line, men talk to men, and women talk to women. However, Ma Chengteng's wife went to her hometown and couldn't find it.

Lian Dongfang got the news and came back soon.

Ma Chengteng saw Lian Dongfang and asked Lian Dongfang how he was an uncle. After the angry reprimand, Ma Chengteng said directly: "I'll take these two children back now, you can't tolerate it, I'll keep it." ”

Even Dong Fang didn't know what was going on, he had been busy all this time, where could he take care of the backyard. Seeing that Ma Chengteng was so angry that he wanted to take Yue Yao away, he said it, and that look was not a joke. Lian Dongfang hurriedly reassured: "Brother Ma, don't worry, wait for me to ask what is going on?" I've been busy lately, and I don't care about things in the mansion. ”

Ma Chengteng sneered: "Do you still think I'm making trouble unreasonably." My nephew had a high fever in the middle of the night and couldn't even ask a doctor, so he was almost burned alive. Now there are rumors inside and outside that my niece and nephew are nemesis. Cheng, even the people in your family are afraid of being killed by my nephew and niece, and I won't say anything. You are afraid of being killed, but I am not afraid, I will take their brothers and sisters today. "If you can't take it away, at least this attitude should be put out.

Lian Dongfang naturally couldn't let Yueyao and Tingzheng go to Ma's house, and as soon as the two children went out, he was not allowed to be poked in the back, and said: "Brother Ma, don't worry, when I ask the ins and outs of the matter, I will definitely give Brother Ma a satisfactory answer." Lian Dongfang is very sure that if he can't give Ma Chengteng a satisfactory explanation, this matter will not be good.
