Chapter 348 Disposition (2nd Update)
67_67437Shenwu Hou knew that his wife was getting more and more wrong recently, but he never thought that his wife, who had always behaved well, would do such a thing, licked his somewhat dry lips, and said cautiously after being surprised: "Mother, could it be a mistake......
Ye Zhongshi sneered on the side, "Big brother, do you think my mother will make a mistake on this?" â
It's either biological or not, she secretly pouted.
Shenwu Hou glanced at this eldest sister, his face was flushed for a while, even he felt ridiculous just now, there was no Zhong You clan who favored him among the brothers and succeeded him, how could he have today's identity and status? Drinking water and thinking of the source, he must fulfill the responsibility of the son of man.
After thinking about it, his demeanor calmed down a little, "Mother, don't worry, my son will go back to investigate, if it was really her doing, my son will definitely not spare her, and he will definitely expel her from our Zhong family." â
He immediately stated that he would divorce his wife, even if this wife gave him children, which was credited to this, but this time his wife should not have used all her brains on this adoptive mother.
Zhong Youshi still understood the character of his stepson, and nodded, "Such a vicious woman must not stay in the Zhong family, otherwise she will harm future generations in the future." After a pause, there are still a lot of layers for her to consider, "But she is still the biological mother of the son of the world after all, this does not look at the face of the monk and the face of the Buddha, and she can't let the son of the world not be able to raise his head and be a man." â
Shenwu Hou hurriedly responded, "Yes." â
In fact, I was also speculating about my adoptive mother's thoughts, but no matter what, Zhong Guo's family was determined not to stay in the Zhong family this time, but how to deal with it was just nerve-wracking.
Outside the house, Lin Long stood under the porch and looked at the inner room, and whispered to her husband on the side, "Is this uncle of the Zhong family reliable?" â
Ye Xuyao gently supported his wife's thick waist, and he had to worry about the second child every day if he didn't land every day, "Don't worry, he knows who gave him his identity and status, and he can know who he is if he hasn't disobeyed his grandmother over the years." â
Shenwu Hou has always been shrewd, and besides, his uncle's feelings for his uncle and aunt like Zhong Guo's are not deep to that level, so he will not go against his adoptive mother for the sake of a mere woman, which is why he brought Shenwu Hou here.
Lin Long leaned on her husband's arms, she didn't have to worry about these things, she still stayed aside with peace of mind.
When the couple was whispering, the people in the house finally came out, Shenwu Hou had a solemn face, his eyes swept towards Ye Xuyao, and then walked towards Ye Xuyao.
Lin Long bowed slightly to the uncle of the Zhong family, then walked away with a sense of humor, and returned to the back room again.
Ye Xuyao looked at this uncle calmly and did not speak first.
"Did you already know about it?" Shenwu Hou asked with a complicated expression.
"It's not too early to know, but it's not too late either." Ye Xuyao said lightly.
Shenwu Hou has always been unable to understand this nephew, but since he brought him in, he must know no less, "Let's talk about it well." â
"That's what my nephew meant." Ye Xuyao squinted slightly.
The two glanced at each other, and naturally walked together on the corridor of the Xiangyang Marquis Mansion.
On the same day, Ye Zhong's family left her mother in the Xiangyang Hou Mansion, anyway, now that her cheap eldest brother took over to investigate the matter, she didn't worry about letting her mother go back to the Shenwu Hou Mansion, and she always had to detoxify her mother, so she personally arranged the courtyard, and personally discussed the prescription with the imperial doctor to come up with the most appropriate plan.
Lin Long, a pregnant woman, is not easy to work with, and the only thing she does is to chat with the old lady Zhong Youshi, plus watch the two sons coax the old lady to make her happy.
When this in-law arrived, it was not easy for the old marquis Ye to come forward, but the Ye Qin family couldn't ignore it, and in the end it was before dinner, "When my mother-in-law arrives, I have something to welcome from afar, don't be surprised." â
It's one thing to dislike Ye Qin's family, but she still has to be polite when she meets, Zhong Youshi asked the maid on the side to help her up, and smiled at Ye Qin's family, "Mother-in-law, it's me who came to disturb, I'm sorry." â
Ye Qin's hand was not stretched out long in the Xiangyang Hou Mansion, so he didn't know much about it, although he was surprised by Zhong You's arrival in his heart, but it was not easy to ask, so he sat down and said some polite words that were not painful, which rounded each other's face.
Both of them wore masks and talked for a while, feeling very boring, Ye Qin's family didn't want to stay any longer, so they offered to leave.
Zhong Youshi didn't keep her, but politely asked people to send her out.
The two old ladies clashed, but Lin Long didn't say a word, after all, she didn't say anything, so she just played with her two sons.
After Ye Qin's family went out, he met Ye Zhong's at the door, who was personally holding the decoction, and after a pause, a smell of medicine wafted out, "What's the decoction?" Who is not feeling well? â
Ye Zhong bent his knee to the mother-in-law, "Mother-in-law doesn't need to worry, this is a fetal medicine for Brother Yao's daughter-in-law, you also know that she suffered a crime some time ago, and now the fetus is stable, so it must be adjusted, so that she will not suffer when she gives birth in the future." â
As soon as he heard that it was a fetal medicine for Lin Long, Ye Qin's family was not very interested, and said coldly, "Isn't this second child just a female baby, it will be water spilled out in the future, and if you lose money, why bother with it?" â
"I can't stand me, our Brother Ting and Brother Hui are going to add sisters, this is a good word, others can't ask for it?" Ye Zhong's heart was on fire, but his face was not obvious, but he also choked on this unpleasant old witch in color.
The daughter is a money-loser, why don't you see this old witch as the king Ye's money-loser? If it weren't for Wang Ye's aunt and grandmother acting arrogantly, Old Marquis Ye wouldn't like it, otherwise he might have run to his mother's house for three days.
Ye Qin's face twitched, and he snorted heavily, raised his feet and left, and continued to talk to this Ye Zhong, she was afraid that she would be angry enough.
Ye Zhongshi also glanced at the back of Ye Qin's departure in displeasure, and finally went in with the tray disapprovingly, there was no need to delay his mother to drink medicine for the sake of this old witch.
"Mother, it's time to drink the medicine while it's hot."
Zhong Youshi stopped playing with the two little babies and glanced at his daughter, "You just met your mother-in-law at the door?" â
"Isn't that such an unfortunate thing? Mother, don't pay attention to so much, she is now a tiger with her teeth extracted, and she can only bluff people. Ye Zhongshi hurriedly lifted the lid of the soup bowl, tested the temperature of the medicine himself, and finally fed the medicine to his mother in person.
Lin Long hugged his two naughty sons in his arms to prevent these two little guys from getting into trouble, "Mother-in-law, there is a lesson from Zhong Guo's past, grandmother is afraid that she will also hold a grudge against our big house, and this person has to guard against it." â
"I know, you don't have to worry about this, if someone asks, just say it's your tocolytic." Ye Zhong said, "If it weren't for Zhong Guo's defense, there wouldn't be so troublesome." â
Lin Long nodded hurriedly, anyway, this is not a big deal.
Zhong Youshi frowned, "You don't get along with Ye Qin's family, don't show your face too much, she occupies the position of an elder, and others will only say that yours is not." â
"Mother, how can I be so stupid? On the outside, I will give her mother-in-law enough face, but in this inner courtyard, I will not give her any more power. Ye Zhong said toughly.
She finally survived to the day when she was truly in power, how could she destroy the city wall?
Zhong Youshi swallowed a mouthful of the decoction, glanced at his daughter who had her own opinions, and no longer worried too much.
This mother-in-law lived in her daughter's house and didn't come back, Zhong Guoshi couldn't help but be surprised when she got the news, under normal circumstances, how could a mother-in-law live in her son-in-law's house? Didn't she show some traces that the other party noticed?
"Hurry up and ask someone, has the Ye family invited any famous doctor or imperial doctor to the house?"
"Yes, ma'am."
The henchman received the order, and when she was about to go out to inquire, she saw Shenwu Hou walking in, and seeing that the momentum was quite unkind, she was so frightened that she hurriedly retreated to the side, not daring to twist the tiger's whiskers.
"Husband, are you back?" Zhong Guo hurriedly glanced at the confidant, and then stepped forward to greet her husband.
"Stand still, and don't move." Shenwu Hou shouted angrily.
Everyone in the room was startled, including Zhong Guoshi, who stepped forward to greet her husband, only to see her covering her heart with her hand, "Husband, what are you doing?" I don't have to scare people to death......"
As soon as Shenwu Hou heard his wife's voice, his eyes looked at her coldly, and he saw that Zhong Guo's heart was hairy and he couldn't say all the words, and he began to beat the drum in his heart, couldn't it be that he did something that made him find out, right? But this can't be, men have always cared about things in the backyard, and her husband has always been a rough nervous person.
Hurriedly stabilizing her mind, she said cautiously, "Husband, what do you mean by scaring me like this?" I had just heard that my mother-in-law was going to stay at my aunt's mansion for a while, so I thought I would send someone to ask my mother-in-law what she needed. I was worried that I had done something wrong to let my mother-in-law stay with my aunt and grandmother......"
If you don't say this hypocritical thing, it really makes Shenwu Hou's anger even higher, and he squints his eyes and walks towards his wife coldly, "Are you embarrassed to say that you don't know what you did wrong?" Guo Shi, can I be thin on you? Do you know what the hell you have made yourself for the sake of that uncompetitive rebel? â
Zhong Guoshi looked at her husband with wide eyes, "I, what did I do?" You can say it, but if you have evidence, I will invite myself to go down to the court. It's good not to mention Brother Yan'er's affairs, he ended up in such a field, can you, the father, want to pull him? You feel your conscience and ask yourself, have you fulfilled your responsibilities as a father? There can be ......"
The more she questioned, the more excited she became, her youngest son was the knot in her heart, and she couldn't untie it, so the more she suppressed it, the more violent it became.
Shenwu Hou quietly looked at his wife's bulging accusation, and before she finished her excited words, he said, "You are really crazy." â
"You shut up for me, don't think I don't know what you have in peace, you just think I'm old, and no one of those foxes can please you......"
"The more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes." Shenwu Hou scolded angrily.
Although he also has young and beautiful concubines, he can clearly distinguish between wives and concubines, how can the two be confused.
The quarrel between the two soon attracted the prince and others of the Shenwu Houfu, as sons and daughters-in-law, they couldn't just watch their father and mother quarrel, and had to come forward to persuade peace.
One of the two sons grabbed the other, and the prince took the lead in saying, "Dad, mother, what's wrong with you?" What's the good way to argue? â
Shenwu Hou coldly shook off his son's grasp and looked at his wife coldly, "Your mother is amazing and has done great things. â
Zhong Guo's heart "chuckled", "Don't spray people with blood, if you have the ability, you can take out the evidence, and let me die convincingly." â
"You wait, I'll make you pay." Shenwu Hou hurriedly turned around and left in anger.
Zhong Guo's mind was restless, and an ominous premonition filled his heart.
"Mother-in-law?"
The three daughters-in-law hurriedly stepped forward to ask Hou, but none of them knew what was going on, so they only looked at each other.
Grandma Zhong vaguely guessed something, the ancestor was invited by her aunt to the Xiangyang Hou Mansion, afraid that something happened in the Xiangyang Hou Mansion that she didn't know, because of this thought, she didn't come forward to show her filial piety.
The old ancestor's illness came strangely, and when the medicine was decocted that day, the henchmen around the mother-in-law acted suspiciously, and her heartbeat accelerated, but it was implicitly excited, if the mother-in-law really did something that the back house could not tolerate, she could move to the mountain on her head.
The old ancestor is always the old ancestor, but he is not the one who can win the fight with his mother-in-law, plus the old ancestor has always loved herself, Grandma Zhong feels that the future is bright, but now she can only barely suppress this excitement, and it is not yet time for her to laugh out loud.
She watched coldly at the two concubines shushing Zhong Guo's and asking for warmth, and the appearance of a good daughter-in-law really made her nauseous.
The other two daughters-in-law also secretly saw the indifference of the sister-in-law, and then thought about the quarrel between the two in-laws, they gradually felt that the storm was coming, but they acted more cautiously.
Sure enough, they didn't have to wait long, and the people of the Shenwu Hou Mansion who didn't even have the heart to use it for dinner actually waited for the arrival of Guo Hou Ye, this Guo Hou Ye and Shenwu Hou are the same generation, and Zhong Guo is his cousin.
After the two of them made a gesture, Shenwu Hou asked the eldest brother to sit down.
"I invited my eldest brother late at night, and I asked you to administer justice." Shenwu Hou didn't say too much greetings, and directly expressed his intentions.
Guo Houye's action of drinking tea was a meal, there was surprise in his eyes, and he thought in his heart, it seems that this matter involves Zhong Guo's cousin.
It is said that Marquis Guo was also a little lucky to be able to attack the lord at the beginning, his father was only the second son of his grandfather, but because the eldest uncle had no children and died in front of his grandfather, this good thing came to his head. Zhong Guo is the biological daughter of the eldest uncle, so although he is a cousin, this person still has a somewhat transcendent status in the Guo family.
He put the tea bowl down with a cautious face, "But my cousin ......"
"It's her." Shenwu Hou's expression has always been very grim.
Guo Houye also understood a little at this time, this cousin got married very early, and their relationship was not close, but as the head of the Guo family, he couldn't ignore this matter. "You also know that Brother Yan is almost my cousin's heart, and for a while this child committed a crime and was exiled, it is understandable that my cousin couldn't think about it for a while......
"If it's an ordinary thing, I will turn a blind eye, husband and wife for more than 20 years, how can I be ruthless and unjust to her? But she shouldn't have moved, she shouldn't have moved. Shenwu Hou said coldly.
Although he is not a brilliant person, and he has no grand ambitions, he thinks that his character is still good, and he will not erase the credit of Yuan's wife because of a trivial matter.
Marquis Guo is the prodigal son of the flower, and now he is still the same as when he is old, but he has always had a good mind, and he soon guessed that the person was the ancestor of the Shenwu Marquis Mansion, Zhong You.
However, without substantial evidence, he can't let his family be bullied.
"This brother-in-law, you have to tell the evidence in everything."
"Rest assured, uncle, there will be no shortage of evidence."
Shenwu Hou didn't want to add any more branches, so he immediately brought Zhong Guo's family and asked his three sons to come to observe, this matter can't be hidden from his own son, otherwise it will cause a family split, and Zhong Guo's family is still the biological mother of the three sons.
Zhong Guo's gloomy face was supported by the prince, as soon as she saw her cousin sitting in the hall, she knew that this matter could not be good, but she hated that she failed to put Zhong You's death.
"Big Lobby." She bowed her head to Marquis Guo.
Guo Houye also returned the salute, and seeing that this cousin was still calm, his heart was a little calm.
Shenwu Hou coldly looked at their cousins and sisters, and did not go around in circles, but directly announced Zhong Guo's crimes, and the three sons of the Zhong family opened their mouths in surprise.
Shizi let go of his mother's hand, "Mother, is this true?" How can you do that......"
"Why can't I do that?" Zhong Guo's is now a broken jar, her husband forced her like this, if she said that there was no evidence in her hand and it was just a bluff, she didn't believe it, so she simply admitted it. "If she hadn't kicked your fourth brother out of the Zhong family, your fourth brother wouldn't have fallen to this fate, she was the most wrong, she made my son feel bad, and I wouldn't let her have a good time......"
These words came from the mouth of a woman whose face was distorted, so that everyone in the hall couldn't react for a while, especially Hou Ye Guo.
He originally thought that his cousin's composure was because there was a way to get rid of suspicion, but how did he know that she confessed as soon as she came up, so how did he defend her? This is not a trivial matter, poisoning his mother-in-law, after it is spread out, will his Guo family's daughter get married? How will you get married in the future?
Marquis Guo has no great ability, and his children and grandchildren are also extremely mediocre, so it is by virtue of this marriage comparable to a pearl net that the Guo family will not collapse, so it must not be allowed to ruin the reputation of the Guo family's daughter.
"Stop, do you know what you're talking about?" He shouted angrily, "Poison and poison your mother-in-law, do you really dare to do this thunderbolt on this day?" â
Zhong Guoshi knew that this lobby brother wanted to change his words, but since she admitted it, she would not change her words again, "Lobby brother, don't worry about this, I'm sorry for the Guo family, I know, but I can't live without this breath in my chest." â
Shenwu Hou came back to his senses, but his heart calmed down a little, and there was no need to catch the palace doctor who had escaped from the mansion when he saw the situation was wrong and asked him to testify, "Guo Shi, you have impressed me." After a pause, he suddenly pointed to his three sons and asked his wife sharply, "You keep saying that you want to vent your anger for Brother Yan'er, but do you think about those three sons?" With a mother like you, how can they gain a foothold in the court? How else to be a person outside? You're hurting your other sons, do you know? â
Zhong Guoshi was shocked by her husband's words and retreated, she really didn't think of her three sons when she did this, she looked at her three sons busily, only to see a grievance in the eyes of the three sons who were silent, "I, I ......"
"Mother, I don't say anything if you always love the fourth brother, after all, he is the youngest brother, how can you be jealous of me as the eldest brother if you love him? But you hold grievances for him, but don't think about us, and we also crawl out of your belly. "The son of the world is angry, what did this mother do? It's something that pokes the spine.
Historically, a family, the eldest son who benefits the most, the one who favors the most is the son, and the son who is sandwiched in the middle is the embarrassing storage zĂ i, they themselves are easily ignored by their parents, so the second and third sons of the Zhong family look at their mothers and gradually drift away, which has never spoiled their mother too much, and now it is even more of a drag on them, which makes them embarrassed?
"I'm not, I'm not like this, you have to believe me......" Zhong Guoshi couldn't stand the accusations of his three sons, and was busy excusing his actions.
"I didn't expect it, mother, there are more things you didn't expect, which can only show that we are inferior to the fourth brother in your heart." The second son of the Zhong family finally shouted out the injustice in his heart.
When Hou Ye Guo saw the cousins who had betrayed his relatives and left, he knew that the general trend had gone, and such a vicious cousin could not stay, what he had to do now was to ensure that the reputation of the Guo family's daughter could not be affected, and looked at Shenwu Hou, "Brother-in-law, what should I do to you, my Guo family does not have such a femme fatale." â
made it clear that the Guo family would not protect the Guo family, not only that, but he would not be implicated.
When Zhong Guoshi heard this, although she had already expected this result, she really heard it with her own ears, and she still couldn't help but feel sad, sure enough, the human affection was as thin as paper, if this person was her own brother, it was estimated that she would not be so ruthless.
Shenwu Hou looked at his wife, "For so many years, she gave birth to four sons and one daughter for me, which is also her credit, but things can't just be settled, I have to give someone an explanation." After a pause, "Guo, I'll give you a choice, three feet of white silk and a glass of poisoned wine, which one do you choose?" â
He thought about it deeply, and sent Zhong Guo to the nunnery to treat the symptoms but not the root cause, who knows what crazy things she will do? He Li sent back to his parents' house, this is not easy to deal with, Guo Houye's attitude is very clear, the Guo family will not want this returning daughter, and he also has to take into account the reputation of his three sons, so Zhong Guo's best to die, so that it can be a hundred.
"You want me dead?" Zhong Guoshi looked at her husband deadly, husband and wife, he actually wanted her to die? It's ironic.
Shenwu Hou is silent, he has done his best to be benevolent, and this matter cannot be accommodated.
The three sons of the Zhong family glanced at each other, and with a "plop", all three of them knelt down, "Mother, please go on the road." â
The mother didn't care about them, and they didn't need to save her life, if she died, she could cover up the past, at least her reputation would be saved.
There is nothing saddest in the world than this, Zhong Guoshi suddenly laughed out loud, walked out of this hall with a desolate expression, and when he was about to go out, he was tripped and fell by the threshold.
Three days later, the Shenwu Marquis' Mansion hung up white lanterns, and the Shenwu Marquis's wife, Zhong Guo, fell and died of a sudden illness
