143 Follow-up

Tang hurriedly left the Qiyang Mansion and went straight to the General's Mansion after a quarter of an hour, when she arrived, Mrs. Lou was dining with Wang Xueyao, I heard that Tang's visit, people had already entered the General's Mansion, and they arrived at Songhe Courtyard in front of them, Mrs. Tai was stunned, and then laughed, and said to Wang Xueyao: "It seems that this is all figured out, King Qiyang's movements are not slow, you go to meet your Grandma Tang." ”

Wang Xueyao stood up, took the handkerchief held by the maid, dipped the corners of her lips and cleaned her hands, wiped them clean, and then went out, Bihan put on a scarlet long fox fur cloak for Wang Xueyao, and the little maid picked up the warm curtain of the word Shuangfu and Shuangshou, and hugged Wang Xueyao out of the house.

Mrs. Tai also had no intention of eating, waved her hand, and the maids hurriedly stepped forward to remove the things on the table one by one in an orderly manner.

Mrs. Tai took the Ruyi pastel teacup held by Mama Jin and took a sip of tea, and for a while she wanted to talk about the fate of the Qiyang Mansion and the Zhenwei General's Mansion, which was really a little imaginary.

Originally, they were all portals that were not prosperous but no one dared to underestimate half a point, but as a result, the old general and the young general of the General's Mansion collapsed on the battlefield together, and the General's Mansion suddenly became a desperate household and was defeated.

And what about the Qiyang Palace, the original two sisters-in-law were excellent and brilliant, who in Beijing did not say that the Qiyang Palace would be prosperous for at least a hundred years, who knew that the two sisters-in-law would be gone in a blink of an eye, and seeing that the King of Qiyang was gone, the Qiyang Palace would also fall.

Because the General's Mansion and the Qiyang Palace's Mansion are located together, there are rumors in Beijing that the feng shui in this place is not good and not conducive to the heirs.

Mrs. Tai originally felt that she was a little similar to the fate of the Tang family, but at this moment, thinking of the Tang family who was rushing over, Mrs. Tai inevitably felt a little fluctuating in her heart, and she sighed unconsciously for a long time.

How could Mama Jin on the side not know what Mrs. Tai was thinking, she took the tea cup in Mrs. Tai's hand and put it on the table, and said, "Seeing that it is a little cold this day, the old slave looks like Mrs. Tai didn't sleep very well last night, but her leg hurts again?" There is still a plaster brought back by the eldest young master this time, otherwise the old slave will open a post tonight and put it on the lady? ”

Mrs. Tai's legs were cold when she was young, leaving behind the problem of old cold legs, and when it was cold, it hurt badly, Sheng Chengyi also thought about this matter every day in the northern military camp, and I don't know where to hear it.

It is said that there is a hunter family in the old mountain, and there is an ancestral plaster at home to treat joint pain in this cold weather, which is very effective, so I put it in my heart, and specially told the king of Qiyang a leave, and I carried dry food into the mountain on my back, and walked around the mountain for three or four days before I found the family, and I really asked for the plaster back.

Mrs. Tai has used it once, and the effect is indeed excellent, and she has used two stickers since now it has not hurt again, and she also slept very peacefully last night, and there was nothing wrong with it.

She naturally knew that Mama Jin was just trying to comfort her by saying this, so she came back to her senses and smiled, patted Mama Jin's hand and said, "Chengyi and Xue Yao are both good children, with these two children here, what else do I have to be dissatisfied with." The house has been deserted for so many years, and it is time to hold two happy events, and after two days, the day will be slightly better, so I will notify the clan, and officially open the ancestral hall to inherit Chengyi to the general's mansion, and the family affairs of the two children should really be handled. I can't wait for next year, my wife and son will be able to hold their little great-grandchildren. ”

Mama Jin also laughed when she heard this, and said: "Then Su Jinghua is still young, the princess of the county wants to hug her great-grandson and let her wait, when the time comes, Mrs. Tai, you will hold the fat great-grandson, and the princess of the county may not be envious." ”

Mrs. Tai nodded and laughed, Mama Jin estimated that Tang should arrive, so she helped Mrs. Tai to move to the flower hall, and sure enough, as soon as she sat down, Wang Xueyao helped Tang to come in, and Tang saw Mrs. Tai's tears flowed down, and said: "It's so late today to disturb your old man's house, but I have something important to ask for, and the old sister must answer me!" ”

When Tang came, she had already thought clearly, she must bring Su Jinghua back, and sooner or later, Mrs. Tai would know Su Jinghua's life experience, and she would have nothing to hide at this time, so she simply opened her mouth and didn't say anything.

Seeing her crying and about to bow down, Mrs. Tai hurriedly stood up and grabbed Tang's hand, Mama Jin had already retreated with the maids, leaving Mrs. Tai and Tang to talk slowly.

In General Zhenwei's mansion, the Tang family and Mrs. Tai talked about Su Jinghua's life experience, but in the Hou Mansion, Yingluo couldn't take the effort to ask Su Jinghua about seeing King Qiyang today, just because Su Yingyue was brought back to the Hou Mansion and said that Yingluo harmed her, and wept bitterly and asked the old lady to make decisions for her.

Su Yingyue's matter is really ugly, the reputation of the entire Hou Mansion girl is over, you can imagine how people outside will abuse and despise the female relatives of Su Mansion, not to mention the old lady, that is, the eldest lady, the second lady and the fourth lady all hate to pinch Su Yingyue to death.

Naturally, he hated the person who harmed Su Yingyue behind the scenes. Now Su Yingyue insisted that Yingluo did it, and Su Yingying pulled Su Yingyu's sisters to kneel in front of the old lady and cry with a discolored face, and she couldn't live anymore, so she wanted to twist her hair and be a sister-in-law.

The old lady was naturally furious, and only asked her mother-in-law to tie up Yingluo and bring it to Fulu Courtyard, and she would definitely kill this scourge with her own hands.

Yingluo was personally sent back to the side gate of the Ding'an Hou Mansion by Qin Yan today, Qin Yan jumped out of the carriage and left before he arrived at the Ding'an Hou Mansion, and then Miao Ge got into the carriage with a set of newly bought clothes.

The clothes were all available from the belly pocket to the inner garment, the middle coat, and the outer garment, and there was a charcoal basin in the carriage, which was extremely warm, so Yingluo changed her clothes and tidied up her makeup in the carriage.

The original clothes were all wrapped up, and they were directly thrown to Shadow Seven who was following the car. Then the carriage went all the way to the side gate of the Ding'an Hou Mansion, Ying Qi only said that it was someone from the Changping Hou Mansion who came to send the five girls back to the house, pushed the car door, and sure enough, he saw the five girls and the maid Miao Ge sitting in the carriage.

The next people naturally knew that the ladies of the Hou Mansion went to the Hou Mansion of Changping to participate in the three baptismal ceremonies, although they didn't understand how the five girls came back in advance alone, but the door guards didn't dare to ask more, so they hurriedly dismantled the door panel and put the car directly into the house.

Although the new set of clothes sent by Qin Yan was not exactly the same as the original clothes, the look and pattern of eyes were similar, Yingluo got out of the carriage and took Brother Miao all the way back to Qiushui Courtyard without arousing anyone's suspicion.

Rao is Yingluo can't completely let go of Qin Yan, but she is also grateful for his help today, as well as his carefulness and thoughtfulness.

It's just that before she returned to Qiushui Courtyard and had time to ask Yun's mother to inquire about Su Jinghua, the old lady and the others also hurried back to the Hou Mansion, and soon Duan Mama personally brought two mothers-in-law with thick waists and round shoulders over, and asked to take Yingluo to Fulu Courtyard for questioning with a fierce face.

Yingluo knew that she couldn't hide, so naturally she wouldn't resist, and before they could do anything, she left the house on her own.

When she arrived at Fulu Courtyard, the room was full of crying and scolding, and before she could stand still, the old lady suddenly got up from the Luohan bed, rushed straight to Yingluo, and raised her hand to fan her.

Yingluo's figure quickly took a step back, and Mrs. Tai threw herself into the air, almost failing to fall. was supported by Su Dinggong, who was standing aside, and was quick to hold his hands. Su Dinggong squinted at Yingluo, his eyes were sharp as if he had been poisoned, and said sharply: "Bastard!" Such an unfilial and vicious and cruel thing that can not be tolerated by the Hou Mansion of Ding'an, and today I, who is an uncle, will discipline you well for your father! ”

As he spoke, he commanded the mother-in-law standing on both sides in a deep voice, and said, "Pull the five girls down and hit the twenty boards heavily first!" ”

The boudoir girls are all pampered, no matter how big the mistake is, it is also a mouth tied up and sent to the family temple, no matter how strict it is, it is only a bowl of poison and a white silk. How important is the girl's reputation, this beats the girl's board, the board goes down and the ass blooms, what is the delicate reputation to speak of?

This is simply heavier than the punishment for sending the family to the temple, Su Dinggong is simply going to suffer a humiliation before Yingluo dies!

Yingluo's eyes showed a cold light with hatred, and her whole body actually exuded a cold and majestic momentum that was not stingy with Su Dinggong, and asked: "Uncle, as the future head of the Su family, must have a reason before moving the family law, right?" Or is it that the future Hou Ye of Ding'an Hou Mansion is a person who acts according to personal preferences? ”

After Sanfang returned to Beijing, several girls only saw Su Dinggong when they visited their families, although Su Dinggong knew that many things that happened in the inner house were related to the five girls in Sanfang, but he didn't know the specific things. Because he pursues the distinction between inside and outside, he thinks that it is unseemly for men to pay too much attention to the affairs of the inner house.

Therefore, seeing that his majesty under his anger failed to frighten Yingluo, this niece not only did not plead on the ground and pleaded, but even showed amazing composure and coldness to confront herself, Su Dinggong was furious, but he had to re-examine this niece.

Yingluo was only cold for a moment, seeing Su Dinggong's forehead jumping straight, staring at herself without speaking, Yingluo restrained the anger on her body, restored her soft and dignified appearance, and even rolled her eyes and clenched her fists angrily, and the old lady and Su Dinggong blessed her body, and said: "I have seen my grandmother, I have seen my uncle, and I dare to ask me what a big crime I have committed, and I have alarmed the whole house to crusade against me so much." I also ask my grandmother and uncle to make it clear that if I really did something wrong, I will sincerely repent and let my grandmother and uncle fall. ”

The second and fourth masters sitting on the side are one of the abandoned concubines, and the other is a crooked gentleman, both of whom are very afraid of Su Dinggong's eldest brother on weekdays, and now they are surprised to see that Yingluo dares to make a decision with Su Dinggong. Seeing that Su Dinggong's eyes were blood-red, hidden but not hairy, he felt a little happy.

And Su Dingwen also sat aside, and indeed did not say anything, but his eyes have been staring at her since Yingluo came in, and he has never been focused on examining this concubine, and his eyes are dim.

He always knew that this concubine was not simple, but he didn't expect that even the prince of King Jing could hook her, and now she can still be so calm and comfortable, is it because she is leaning on the prince of King Jing behind her, so she has no fear?

I really didn't expect that when a seventh prince left, a young master of the Chi family came, and now the Chi family's family affairs are gone, and there is an even more amazing prince of King Jing.

Thinking that King Jing personally sent Yingluo back, and also sent his subordinates to say those words in front of him, obviously protecting this concubine, obviously he just liked it, and he valued it very much, Su Dingwen's heart warmed up again.

That Xiang Yingluo calmly and politely saluted Su Dinggong and the old lady, asking for an explanation, the two of them were not good at will, Su Dinggong ordered the eldest lady to sit back with the old lady who was panting, and he also sat down on the chair, and said: "Today in the Changping Marquis Mansion, the three girls ......."

He was embarrassed to say the ugly things Su Yingyue had done, so he only patted the handrail and said to Su Yingyue: "You come here!" ”

Su Yingyue has been staring at her with a pair of vicious eyes since Yingluo came in, and at this moment she got permission, and immediately cried: "At that time, the cardinal in front of my grandmother came to pass the word, saying that the grandmother wanted to let the fifth sister go over to ask, I was worried about my grandmother, afraid that the fifth sister would make my grandmother angry again, so I followed the fifth sister and left the Shuangxi Courtyard, I caught up with the fifth sister and the cardinal three to go to the Shuangxi Courtyard, and when I walked to the Qingnuan Courtyard, I suddenly heard a heavy blow behind me, and I turned around and saw that the cardinal was knocked out by a black shadow, I didn't even see who the black shadow was, so I was knocked to the ground and fainted, and when I woke up, I and Cardinal stayed in the cave with my cousin, and the fifth sister was gone, it wasn't the fifth sister who hurt me, who else could there be? ”

Su Yingyue's words were full of loopholes, and they couldn't be convincing at all, so with such a statement, Su Dinggong and the old lady were going to make it difficult for her, Yingluo sneered in her heart, and said: "So the third sister doesn't have any human and physical evidence?" The third sister just said out of thin air that I murdered her, please redeem me for not being able to confess my guilt. What kind of place is the Changping Hou Mansion, I am crazy to choose to frame the third sister in the Changping Hou Mansion, not to mention, I don't have the ability to deceive the Hou Shizi of Pingyi to the inner house, and I was also knocked out and thrown into the fake cave, right? The third sister is going to slander me with her mouth open, so I will run to the street and shout that the Ding'an Hou Mansion has a heart of disobedience, is it possible that tomorrow the emperor can send the Praetorian Guards to raid the house and destroy the door? ”

Yingluo's rebellious words The upright old lady slapped the Luohan bed under her and couldn't speak, and Su Dinggong shouted angrily, "Shut up!" You dare to say such bastard words, third brother, look at the good daughter you taught! ”

Su Dingwen stood up and said: "What she said is not unreasonable, I think this matter needs to be investigated, such a major matter, you can't just expose it in a daze, it must always be reasonable and evidence-based to be convincing." ”

Su Yingyue saw that Su Dingwen didn't mean to make the decision for her at all, she couldn't believe it when she protected Yingluo like this, and screamed, "Father! ”

Su Dingwen couldn't help but look at Su Yingyue with complicated eyes, this concubine has a good appearance, a calm temperament, she has been very well-behaved since she was a child, and she has always grown up by his side, she is his favorite and has the greatest hopes, Su Yingyue's words are taught by Su Dingwen by hand, and he still has a father-daughter relationship with Su Yingyue.

But Su Yingyue has done wrong things again and again, and now she has no reputation, she is completely ruined, no matter how much he loves him, he can't ruin one daughter, and put another one in it.

What's more, the daughter who wants to go in looks like she still has a future, and the prince of King Jing was able to send the Praetorian Guards to surround the Hou Mansion for Yingluo last time, this time he has clearly beaten him, if he doesn't protect this daughter again, let something happen to Su Yingluo, who knows what the prince of Jing will do, that person who has never been a reasonable person.

Su Dingwen thought about it, his eyes were painful and he pulled his gaze back from Su Yingyue, and said: "The third girl was greatly stimulated today, and she was talking a little nonsense, but she casually bit her sister, come and send the third girl back!" ”

When Su Yingyue heard this, her face immediately showed madness, and she shouted, "Father, you are blatantly spoiling your concubine, aren't you afraid of impeachment by the official for doing this?!" I know, in my father's eyes, in addition to the official position, there were many of us children, but now I just see that I have lost my reputation and is useless, and Su Yingluo's slut has the support of an adulterer, so my father allowed her to harm me like this......"

"Shut up! Rebel girl! Is this the attitude you have when you speak to the Father?! Seeing that Su Yingyue began to speak freely and said anything, Su Dingwen's last pity and pity for him was gone, and he stepped forward and slapped Su Yingyue's face.

Su Yingyue was beaten to the ground and fell to the ground, her ears buzzing, and she lost her voice for a while. Su Dingwen shouted loudly again: "You said that you were worried about your grandmother, so you left behind your fifth sister, why didn't you even take a maid with you?" You said that your fifth sister designed to frame you, why was even the maid and wife near the Qingnuan Courtyard transferred, could it be that the maid and wife of the Marquis of Changping still obeyed your fifth sister's words? When did your fifth sister have such ability? In the Changping Hou Mansion, you and Qiao Enmin can be subdued at once? You think that your father and your grandmother and uncle are confused, aren't they? After doing such a foolish thing, he still doesn't know how to repent and is bent on harming others! You have disappointed your father. ”

Su Yingyue's brain was a little dazed, and she reacted after half a sound, she looked around, but saw that the old lady and the others were all questioning, just because everyone was too resentful in their hearts, and just wanted to punish the person who harmed the Hou Mansion to vent their anger, she bit out Su Yingluo, and they naturally hated to tear Su Yingluo, this time Su Dingwen openly defended Su Yingluo, and everyone naturally became suspicious.

Obviously, Su Yingluo harmed her, but everyone didn't believe it.

Su Yingyue saw that everyone's resentful eyes returned to her, and immediately laughed, she finally tasted the truth but no one believed her.

Back then, Su Yingluo was tortured by her mother when she was a child, and she once ran to Su Dingwen to cry and complain, at that time, her mother didn't even need to do anything, as long as she showed a sad and disappointed look, her father would punish Su Yingluo fiercely, saying that she didn't respect her mother, and she had nothing to do, but she wanted to win her father's love and lied repeatedly, once her father punished Su Yingluo for kneeling in the courtyard for two hours.

It was the middle of summer, the sun was shining on the ground, Su Yingluo seemed to be six years old at the time, and no one paid attention to it when she fainted, and since then, Su Yingluo has never dared to run to complain to Su Dingwen. Everyone knew that Mrs. didn't like this concubine, and from then on, she began to treat her even more harshly, and the sixth sister and the fourth sister also began to openly beat and scold Su Yingluo......

Thinking of this, Su Yingyue only felt like a different world, but now it is Su Yingluo who is protected by her father, and no one believes her when she tells the truth, how ridiculous it is.

How can she be willing!

Su Yingyue screamed: "Okay, I said! It was me and my eldest sister who wanted to harm Su Yingluo first, but the fifth sister saw through it, so she teamed up...... Yes! ”

Seeing that Su Yingyue was about to break the net, how could Su Dingwen let her really tell the prince of King Jing, suddenly a hideous look flashed on her face, and she kicked Su Yingyue's body again, directly interrupting Su Yingyue's words.

He saw Su Yingyue lying on the ground panting, and said in a deep voice: "The three girls have all been recruited, she is to blame, why don't you gag her and send her back!" ”

Saying that, he gave his mother-in-law a look, the third master was still quite dignified among the several masters of Su Mansion on weekdays, and the mother-in-law didn't dare to slack off and hurriedly stepped forward to block Su Yingyue's mouth and held the struggling Su Yingyue in custody.

Su Yingyue obviously didn't finish speaking, and the most important words were kicked off by Su Dingwen, everyone can see this, the old lady's face was ugly, and Su Dinggong also said in a deep voice: "Third child, what do you mean, let her speak clearly!" ”

Su Dingwen said: "I know this matter in my heart, today's sister-in-law, brothers and nieces are also frightened, this kind of thing is not suitable for nieces to listen here, if my mother asks my sister-in-law and sisters to send their nieces back first, I will explain this matter to my mother and eldest brother." ”

Su Dingwen said a word, Su Dinggong's face was suspicious, and he looked at Su Yingyue, whose eyes widened and whimpered.

Su Yingying didn't want Yingluo to escape like this, so she cried and interjected: "The third uncle will let the third sister finish her words, we also believe that the third sister will not do such a self-destructive thing even if she is crazy." What's more, the fifth sister didn't come back with the carriage of the Hou Mansion today, but went back to the mansion first, which is too strange. ”

Su Yingying's words, the eldest lady and the fourth lady first showed their cruelty and hatred, and their eyes swept over Yingluo's body twice, but Su Yingzi suddenly cried and interjected: "Yes, there should be a hidden secret, but if something like this happened, if I were the third sister, I would have to kill myself in front of all the guests at that time, and I would have crashed to death in the rockery to protect the reputation of the sisters, but the third sister was frightened at the time, and she couldn't react for a while." Such a painful experience, since my father knows the reason, the fourth sister, let's not let the third sister recount and retell it painfully, not to mention, this kind of thing, our boudoir women are really not good to participate, how to talk about our Houfu girls now, let's not stand up right now, not cautious, wouldn't it be more solid to condemn those discussions? ”

Su Yingzi stood up first, blessed her body, and said, "Grandmother, my granddaughter was frightened today, and she really lost her energy, so she wants to go back to Qiushui Courtyard to rest first, and hope that her grandmother will take pity." ”

Su Yingzi's words made the hatred of the old lady and others go towards Su Yingyue for a while.

Yes, to put it bluntly, something ugly happened to Su Yingyue, if she had crashed to death on the rockery at that time, she would have been sure that it was the Hou Shizi of Pingyi who was drunk and broke into the inner house and forced her and the cardinal, although the reputation of the Ding'an Hou Mansion would also be affected, but it would not be like this, maybe she could still leave a strong reputation.

The eldest lady and the fourth lady took the lead in feeling that Su Yingzi's words were reasonable, and they had two more hatreds for Su Yingyue, and the old lady didn't want to make decisions for Su Yingyue anymore, so she waved her hand and said: "Okay, let's go down, the second and fourth stay and discuss how to deal with this matter." ”

The old lady spoke, and Su Yingying was unwilling and had no choice, her eyes swept Su Yingzi coldly, and then she stood up with the eldest lady.

Yingluo also left the Fulu Courtyard with everyone, and in the flower hall, Su Dinggong stared at Su Dingwen with a solemn face, and said: "The third brother has also achieved the five-grade prefect, how did the inner house become like this, and now the whole Hou Mansion has to follow your three rooms to be embarrassed, it's really not like words!" ”

Su Dingwen was also unspeakably frustrated at the moment, such a thing happened, it is conceivable that he was afraid that he would be impeached by the official tomorrow, and he was still counting on finding the prince of King Jing to see if he could help with everything, so naturally he didn't dare not protect Yingluo.

In the face of Su Dinggong's reprimand, Su Dingwen accepted it humbly, but the old lady rubbed her eyebrows with a headache and said, "What the hell is going on, the third child, don't you say it quickly!" ”

Su Dingwen breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Today it is indeed the third girl who teamed up with her eldest sister to calculate the five girls, but unfortunately she was hit by the prince of King Jing, and this matter was made like this by the prince of King Jing." ”

Su Dinggong and the others suddenly gasped, and Su Dinggong spoke first: "King Jing has nothing to do, what do you do with the idle affairs of our Hou Mansion?" Could it be that the prince of King Jing actually fell in love with your concubine? ”

Su Dingwen couldn't figure out what Qin Yan meant to Yingluo and how to place her, so he chose to hide it for a while, and said: "Shouldn't it be, what kind of person is the prince of King Jing, and how can he look down on a concubine?" It's just that he saw that the Hou Shizi of Pingyi sneakily entered the inner house, and he followed him strangely in his heart. Seeing that the three girls and the Hou Shizi of Pingyi collaborated to kill the five girls, he and the five girls had some source methods, and he was angry for a while, so he helped the five girls. The eldest brother also knows that the prince of King Jing has always been a casual person, and besides, the Marquis of Pingyi and King Cheng have recently heard that they have been a little close, and King Cheng and the prince of King Jing have always been at odds with each other, thinking that the prince of King Jing wants to clean up Qiao Enmin, and our Hou Mansion has hit the muzzle of the gun. ”

Su Dinggong and the old lady obviously didn't expect the truth to be like this, and they couldn't speak for a while, but Su Dingwen continued: "This matter involves King Jing's Mansion and King Cheng's Mansion, and the dispute between the abolished prince and King Cheng, so it's better not to investigate it again." What do mothers and eldest brothers think? ”

The old lady had no idea about these things outside, Su Dinggong thought about it, but sighed and said: "It's only like this, but the three girls can't stay, I'll send Zhuangzi up today, and let her die of illness in two days!" ”
