Chapter 267: The End

The Marquis of Yong'an had just won the reward of the emperor and the queen mother in the palace, but he never expected such an earth-shaking event to happen in the palace family. Yong'an Hou has been an official for many years, and there is no shortage of scheming in the city, so he sank his heart and went home directly.

Mrs. Yong'an Hou is the six gods and no owner, she is not in a hurry when Mrs. Li is caught in a lawsuit, she has a grudge with Mrs. Li for many years, and she hates that Mrs. Li will die in prison. But, Xia Gongren is her own mother! The husband was not at home, and there was such a big event, Mrs. Yong'an Hou sent a competent steward to inquire several times, and her father was also doing everything he could, but Yin Tiexin of the Imperial Capital Mansion handled the case, for the sake of the face of the two families, Xia Gongren and Mrs. Li's prison conditions could be improved, but when it came to the case, Yin of the Imperial Capital Mansion did not have the slightest intention of following selfishness. Now when she saw her husband come back, Mrs. Yong'anhou's tears fell.

Yong'an Hou's expression was faint, and he said, "Talking in the house." ”

At this point, Yong'an Hou was not in a hurry, and asked Xia Shi after freshening up, "What's going on?" ”

Xia wiped away his tears and said, "I don't know very well, Su Tanhua's Xishan Villa caught fire, and the people from the Imperial Capital Mansion went to the clan aunt's house to take the clan aunt away......

Before Xia finished speaking, Yong'an Hou interrupted her in a cold voice, "Get out!" ”

Xia's face turned pale, he covered his face with a handkerchief, turned around and cried. Yong'an Hou was impatient to listen to this, Xia Shi didn't leave, he got up and went to the study to rest.

Xia doesn't like to talk about it, and Yong'an Hou doesn't necessarily like to listen to it. Rather than listening to Xia's lies, Yong'an Hou would rather call his henchmen to inquire. Hearing the ins and outs of this, Yong'an Hou couldn't hide his surprise, how could this be possible?

The Marquis of Yong'an couldn't rest at home, so he ordered someone to prepare a carriage and horses and went to the imperial capital Yin. Yong'an Hou just came back from his meritorious service, and this matter is not directly related to Yong'an Hou, the imperial capital Mansion Yin did not dare to slack off, and roughly told Yong'an Hou about the matter, Yong'an Hou Zhengse said, "Su is my wife, if this matter is related to the fire in the Xishan Courtyard twenty-nine years ago, please ask Lord Yin to investigate in detail." No matter who kills my wife, he will share the sky with me! ”

Yin of the Imperial Capital Mansion responded, "I will definitely live up to the trust of the Hou Ye." And euphemistically, do you want to visit the prison or something?

Yong'an Hou said, "If it's just a fire in the Su family's courtyard, it's normal for me to visit my aunt and mother-in-law." Since it is related to the death of my wife, I am afraid that it is a dilemma. Without even looking at Mrs. Li and Xia Gongren, the Marquis of Yong'an left the Imperial Capital Mansion.

Then, he went to Su's house.

Su Bai's eyes swelled when he saw the surname Li now, and at Su Bai, Yong'an Hou's tone was gentle, and he said, "Ah Bai, please let me see Lord Lingci." ”

Su Bai had a cold face, "My mother is frightened and is still recuperating, so I can't see Master Hou." ”

In the past, Yong'an Hou only had a good impression of Su Bai, but now he was a little excited, and said, "Ah Bai, I have something to discuss with your mother." ”

Su Bai was not stupid, looking at the appearance of Yong'an Hou, he couldn't help but say, "Master Hou can't just listen to the rumors outside and misunderstand." I'm twenty-four. "His father is very handsome, and he is also extremely smart, but he died earlier, and it is definitely not comparable to Yong'an Hou. Being mistaken for someone else's son, Su Bai was very depressed.

Yong'an Hou said, "Let me meet your mother." ”

Su Bai said, "Master Hou has something to tell me the same. ”

Yong'an Hou must see Mr. Su, Su Bai is not allowed to see him, the two are deadlocked, and in the end, Yong'an Hou did not see it, say annoyed, he is still annoyed with Su Bai, he glanced at Su Bai disapprovingly, Yong'an Hou said, "Then you tell your mother on my behalf, I'm sorry for the matter of Xishan Courtyard, I am sorry for making her frightened." ”

Su Bai said, "As long as the trial of this case is clear and clear, those poisonous women are brought to justice, Hou Ye does not need to apologize, Hou Ye was still in Shu at that time, and this matter has nothing to do with Hou Ye." ”

"It's what happened back then, if it was man-made, I wouldn't just forget it." Yong'an Hou said earnestly, "When Ah Peng comes back, you can talk to him." "Say goodbye and leave.

Su Bai pursed his lips and didn't tell his mother about Yong'an Hou's visit at all.

However, his father-in-law's family was in the house, and he deliberately called Qi Ru back for a reason to ask about the ins and outs of the matter. Mrs. Qi San whispered to her daughter, "Is the son-in-law ......?"

Qi Ru said angrily, "Mother, how can you believe those nonsense outside, the husband is only twenty-four, and you are not right to calculate your age." ”

Mrs. Qi San said, "If this is to hide the child's age, it is not impossible to say how old it is." ”

"One or two years younger, or two or three years old, or maybe five or six years old, how is that possible? Besides, when Xianggong followed my mother-in-law to the border city when he was three years old, Sister Qing's family can testify, can a three-year-old child be the same as a teenage child? ”

Mrs. Qi San is obviously well-informed, "I heard that Doctor Su used to treat children with congenital deficiencies, and it took three years to treat them...... If the son-in-law had deficiencies when he was a child, it would be reasonable to grow up slower. ”

Qi Ru said, "It's impossible, mother, don't talk nonsense." My family will pay tribute to my father-in-law every year, and there is a tablet for my father-in-law in the ancestral hall of the family. ”

Mrs. Qi San said, "It's not that I'm talking nonsense. Ah Bai won't talk about it here for the time being, your mother-in-law, alas, this was also more than thirty years ago. Our family is no better than your uncle's family, attacking the duke, and coming and going are all princes and powerful families, but I have also met Mrs. Su a few times before, at that time she was still young, because she saw less, this too many teenagers, I can't remember clearly. Your aunt and Mrs. Su are not the same age, and they don't have much contact. But this imperial capital knows Mrs. Su is not a minority, that day you and your mother-in-law went to the Cheng'en Mansion to celebrate her birthday, many people said that she looked like Mrs. Su in the past. Think about it, if this matter is not true, why would the Xia family and Mrs. Li be in a hurry to set fire. ”

Qi Ru was also a little hesitant and said, "But if there is really such a thing, the judge will not know it." ”

"How old is the son-in-law, and your mother-in-law is not such an uninformed woman, what does it mean for the child to say these things when he is a child, but let the child grow into a gloomy character." Mrs. Qi San told her daughter, "You have to be careful." ”

Qi Ru said, "The father-in-law and mother-in-law are in charge of everything outside, and I will take care of the affairs of the family." ”

Mrs. Qi San said in a low voice, "Why are you stupid." Think about it, if you want your mother-in-law to be the former Mrs. Su, and her son-in-law is the eldest son of the Marquis of Yong'an, the current Mrs. Xia is just a concubine! Why do you think the Marquis of Yong'an attacked the title, is he the only one in the family? It was his good fortune that he married Mrs. Su, whose parents died early when she was young, and she grew up in the Yong'an Hou Mansion. Mrs. Yong'an Hou is her aunt! This title, regardless of self-affection, self-care, and from the perspective of law, if Mrs. Su has a son, it is Mrs. Su's son! ”

Qi Ru was born in a wealthy family, and he didn't feel anything, and said, "Mother, you don't care about this." Whether it is or not, the mother-in-law always knows it in her heart. Even if it is, how can the mother-in-law explain her identity? How did you escape the fire? Who was that mistaken corpse? Could it be that we are still told to move to the Yong'an Hou Mansion to live? How chaotic is that house, in the future, there will be wives and concubines and concubines and concubines? It's better to have a clean life in my house now. "She has a good life, a generous mother-in-law, and a good relationship with her husband, and she doesn't want to live those messy days.

Mrs. Qi San said, "If the great cause of the Hou Mansion should be yours, just think about it for your descendants, not to mention anything else, what about the title?" ”

Qi Ru said, "Daddy doesn't have a title, and our family's life is not bad." "It all depends on whether a man has the ability, if he has the ability, he can live a good life without a title. If he is incompetent, he will be given a knighthood, and whether he can keep it depends on two questions!

Mrs. Qi San choked angrily and said to her daughter, "Why don't you have any motivation at all." ”

"Okay, I'll go home and ask my father-in-law."

Seeing the reluctant appearance of the girl, Mrs. Qi San said, "I'm worried about it in vain." ”

Qi Ru shook her mother's arm and was coquettish. Mrs. Qi San smiled.

Qi Ru went home and said to Su Bai, Su Bai said, "People may be similar." ”

"That's what I told my mother." Qi Ru said, "Didn't you say that day that Yong'an Hou came to our house to see his mother, you have to have a bottom, don't let Yong'an Hou misunderstand." I told you about Chengengong's birthday a long time ago, if it weren't for the fact that my mother was indeed similar to Mrs. Su at the beginning, Mrs. Yong'an Hou and Xia Gongren would never have shown such a shocked look. Also, if it weren't for this, how could the old woman of the Li family be a thief and send someone to set fire? "Also, my mother-in-law has never liked to go out, and usually there are any birthday banquets and other social things, which are all in the past of their husband and wife. Even on her mother-in-law's own birthday, she never does it much, and she doesn't invite outsiders. Partial birth, Cheng'en Gong's birthday banquet, such a powerful place, my mother-in-law went. It's like I went on purpose. Qi Ru only kept these things in his heart and would not say them.

Now that there are more rumors, Su Bai is not stupid, and while he feels ridiculous, he is not unsuspicious, he said, "My father passed away before I was born, and my mother has already told me about my father." It's not ...... person like "Yong'an Hou." Besides, he grew up with the children of the Zhao family when he was a child, which is categorically impossible to hide.

Qi Ru pinched her husband's shoulder and said softly, "Over the years, your mother has raised you alone, and you have suffered so much, how easy it is to talk about it." You have a number in your heart, and no matter how important it is, it can't be more important than your mother. Our family lives with Helele, like those who kill people and set fires, no matter how rich she is, what joy is there in her life. ”

Su Bai gently held his wife's hand.

Yong'an Hou was selfless, and he vowed to track down the death of his wife, and the imperial capital Yin was also anxious to show his capable side a year ago, and the matter was quickly revealed.

Mu Yu said, "There are such poisonous women in the world!" "Murder the country! Now he has set fire to Yushi's mother!

According to the law, Xia Gongren and Mrs. Li are both capital crimes. Even with Xia Shaoqing, although it was not found that this matter was related to Xia Shaoqing, but his wife did such a thing that was not tolerated by heaven, ignorance, incompetence, and lack of repair, these eight words are a portrayal of Xia Shaoqing. The official didn't want to do it, and he took all the sons and envoys to get rid of them together.

Yong'an Hou was not greatly affected, one, twice caught fire, Yong'an Hou was out on errands, and there was alibi evidence. Second, Yong'an Hou went out early, and he and Mrs. Li were only relatives. Three, this time, Yong'an Hou personally went to the book and asked the Imperial Capital Mansion to make every effort to investigate the fire in the Fat Wife's Courtyard that year! Therefore, to be precise, Yong'an Hou was one of the victims, and his wife was burned to death.

As for Yong'an Hou's current wife......

Xia cried in front of Yong'an Hou, "Hou Ye is so ruthless, no matter what the clan aunt says, she is also Hou Ye's biological mother, and my mother treats Hou Ye a ......little badly."

Yong'an Hou said coldly, "I just hope that they have never treated me well in this life, which is my blessing!" ”

Xia cried, "Master Hou doesn't think about it, but also thinks about it for the children, what kind of face do the children have when something happens to the outside family." ”

"It's for the sake of the children that I saved face for you." Yong'an Hou said in a low voice, "Don't tell me that you don't know about this fire. At the birthday banquet of the Chengen Mansion, you saw that she was not scared, and went back to her mother's house with your mother, and then your mother went to find the aunt, and within a few days, the Xishan Courtyard caught fire. What are you afraid of? Afraid that you will become a concubine when she comes back? I'm still afraid that the title will change hands in the future! ”

Xia's face turned pale, Yong'an Hou coldly pushed her away, called the maidservant in, "Send Mrs. back to the room to recuperate!" ”

The Xishan arson case was officially concluded, which brought shock and talk to the people of the imperial capital. Even the Zhao family couldn't help but sigh one or two, Ling said, "If you don't say that the matter of marrying a daughter-in-law is the most important, even if you marry a stupid one, you can't marry a poisonous woman, a poisonous woman will harm three generations." ”

Mrs. Zhao thought deeply and said, "Yes." This man's heart is also poisonous, how can he set it on fire? "As people grow older, their hearts become more and more compassionate.

Ling thought about it, the mother-in-law of the Xia family in this case is the mother-in-law who instigated Xia Wen to sleep with Li Nianqin before, hum! Retribution! What retribution!

Ling's heart took advantage of his wishes, listened to the rumors outside, and chatted with his mother-in-law when he had nothing to do, "When Ah Bai followed Mr. Su to our house, he was three years old, right?" “

Mrs. Zhao said, "It's three years old, and Ah Bai Xiao Changqing is two years old, I remember it clearly." “

Ling said softly, "This is to say three years old, but in fact, it looks like a four-year-old." “

Old Mrs. Zhao sighed, thinking that Mr. Su's description and demeanor were by no means comparable to ordinary people. For some people, upbringing is carved into the bones, even if it is coarse linen, you can see the elegance. Mr. Su is this kind of person, and over the years, several children of the Zhao family have been taught by Mr. Su and have benefited a lot.

First of all, in the past 29 years, even if Mr. Su is somewhat similar to Mrs. Su in the past, who can be sure that she is really Mrs. Su back then. Secondly, Su Bai's age is a hard injury.

So there's just a lot of speculation.

Yong'an Hou couldn't see Mr. Su, he wanted to solve the matter very simply, so he invited Su Bai to come out and directly drip blood for a blood test. Su Bai was a thousand unwilling, and he couldn't stand being taken to Yong'an Hou's other courtyard, Yong'an Hou asked his henchmen to hold down Su Bai, and stabbed a drop of blood on Su Bai's finger with a needle, and then Yong'an Hou also pricked out a drop of blood himself, and the two drops of blood slowly fused into one drop in the water bowl.

Su Bai roared in fright, those two guards were not stupid, as soon as they saw that this Su Tanhua was actually the son of the Hou Ye, they didn't press him harder, Su Bai took a few steps back, as if he had seen a ghost, and ran away.

Yong'an Hou didn't have time to call him, "Ah Bai-" Su Bai had already run away and disappeared.

Su Bai ran all the way home and went straight to his mother's yard, Mr. Su saw that in the winter, his son was sweating profusely, and called him to his eyes with a smile, and asked, "What's wrong, so anxious?" ”

Su Bai clenched his fists, "Today Yong'an Hou ......"

Before he could finish speaking, Mr. Su sent Yahuan away and asked, "What's wrong with Yong'an Hou?" ”

Su Bai's eyes were slightly red, "Yong'an Hou tricked me into going to his courtyard-" The latter words choked in his throat, and he couldn't speak. Mr. Su commented, "You were too careless. ”

"No, he tricked me into going to another courtyard...... Blood test! ”

"Oh." Mr. Su didn't move an eyebrow and said, "That's it." ”

Mr. Su leaned on the soft couch leisurely, bent his fingers and tapped his knees, and said, "After so many years, things have to come to an end." When we are resting, we will go to the mountains to pay respects to your father. ”

"Mother, I'm really ......"

"You're not." Mr. Su said, "Your surname is Su, and you are my son." ”

Mr. Su handed a short note to Su Bai and said, "Go to Changqing, just say that I borrowed something, you go and get it, don't fake the hand of the second person." ”

Su Bai didn't tell his wife about this, he really felt that he was too ashamed: his father turned out to be ......

When it was time to rest, Su Bai also told his wife to take care of her daughter at home, Qi Ru had always been docile, and she didn't ask much, but she just prepared the ceremony, personally sent her husband and mother-in-law out, and then turned around and went back to take care of the house.

The sky was a little cloudy.

In the cold winter, Mr. Su felt sorry for his son, and did not let Su Bai ride a horse outside, and the mother and son shared a car.

Su Bai is a filial son, since he became an official, not only bought a good cemetery for his father, built a well-dressed mound without clothes, but also often offered incense in the temple, and the ancestral hall at home is also full of incense, in short, it is definitely enough for his father to live a prosperous life underground.

In the past, Su Bai made a dojo for his father, and his mother would not go, but this is the first time, and his mother is willing to go. Su Bai felt a little sad, his mother insisted on making a dojo for "his father", and he had to accompany him.

After doing the dojo, the abbot also came out and said a few polite words, "Master Su Shi is not harmed." ”

Mr. Su smiled, "I don't want to be able to meet the master after all the years." ”

The abbot said the Buddha's name, like a great immortal, "The cause and effect of the donor is in the imperial capital, and he will naturally come back." ”

Mr. Su was noncommittal.

After doing the dojo and eating vegetarian food in Xishan Temple, Mr. Su took Su Bai to leave.

When going down the mountain, Mr. Su went to the burned down courtyard, and Yong'an Hou was already there.

Scattered snow slag floated in the sky, and the north wind hunted the hem of their clothes, and they hadn't seen each other for many years, and neither of them spoke.

Mr. Su has patience, Yong'an Hou sighed, and said, "You are still the same as before." "Although the face is old, the means are scheming, only better and better.

Mr. Su said, "You too." ”

Yong'an Hou looked at Su Bai, "Ah Bai, I have some personal matters to tell your mother. "He understands the Su family, so he will wait here. Since they met, the two naturally won't just catch up.

Su Bai was a little uneasy, looked at his mother, and Mr. Su said, "Go ahead." ”

Facing his wife, Yong'an Hou said with some difficulty, "Ah Wei, we can start living together again." ”

Mr. Su's expression was not moved in the slightest, it can be seen that he is not interested in this condition, Yong'an Hou said, "Just for Ah Bai." I know you don't want to, but, this title should be Ah Bai's. ”

"If it was for the knighthood, I wouldn't have left in the first place."

Yong'an Hou said, "You came back, just to avenge the revenge of the year?" ”

"Ah Bai wants the imperial examination, so I naturally want to come to the imperial capital. This revenge was not avenged back then, how can it come specifically for revenge now? Mr. Su said leisurely, "I thought that after I left, your life would go well, but now it seems that you are not having a good time." It's the Xia family, who married you, but was troubled by your biological mother for more than 20 years. When I see you, I will understand that God has avenged my revenge. ”

"Do you remember, you told me at the beginning that if you have a son, you will definitely be green in the future, you were born in the past, and your son must at least take the Tanhua exam." Mr. Su said lightly, "I have achieved your wish, and you should also fulfill my wish." ”

"You have ...... What is the wish? ”

Mr. Su said, "In the future, I will live with Ah Bai in the imperial capital, and I don't want to see you again." ”

"I'm Ah Bai's father!"

Mr. Su looked at Yong'an Hou and smiled slightly, "Do you think I'm negotiating terms with you?" ”

A joyful flute sounded, Yong'an Hou couldn't help but look at the person who played the flute, who didn't know when he was standing not far away, dressed in a green shirt, and was seriously playing a song "Zhu Qingyun". The flute is played very well, and the joy in the song goes straight to the sky, but, that flute! Yong'an Hou's face changed greatly, and he looked at Mr. Su in horror.

Mr. Su said, "The flute of the fifth princess has a word engraved in it. ”

"It's impossible!"

"Before my father's death, he was very interested in jade carving, and he once imitated a purple jade green cloud. You know, my father always leaves a mark on his work. "Imitations are no exception. ”

Yong'an Hou muttered, "This is absolutely impossible! It is impossible to ......" but I believe in my heart, if there is really someone in this world who can imitate the purple jade Qingyun that is indistinguishable from the true and false, it must be Dasu Tanhua.

Mr. Su turned to leave, Yong'an Hou was in a state of confusion and reached out to drag Mr. Su, and the flute player stepped forward, and a flute fell on Yong'an Hou's hand bones, protecting Mr. Su behind him. Mr. Su didn't even look back, and left. The man held the purple jade Qingyun, glanced at Yong'an Hou coldly, and followed Mr. Su to leave.

Yong'an Hou's face turned pale, and when his henchmen came over, Yong'an Hou said coldly, "Follow them and see where they go." ”

Su Bai saw his mother coming over with a man with a raw face, and asked, "Who is this?" ”

Mr. Su said, "When you see Yong'an Hou, of course, you must be fully prepared. If they are all like you, will they not let others eat meat? ”

Su Bai asked, "Mother, are you okay?" ”

"What can happen?" Mr. Su smiled, "It's just right to solve a problem today, so let's stop by to visit an elder." ”

Su Bai saw that her mother looked good, so she put her mind at ease and asked, "Mother, where are you going?" ”

Mr. Su took Su Bai to the old plum nunnery and said, "If it wasn't for the help of the eldest princess back then, I wouldn't have been able to leave the imperial capital smoothly." That day, I also stayed at Princess Taichang's place for one night. ”

Su Bai really didn't expect his mother and Princess Taichang to know each other......

Mr. Su not only knows her, but she has a good relationship with Princess Taichang. The eldest princess is here for generations, her hair is like snow, she is loosely tied in a bun, she has a mutton fat crested hairpin, and the clothes on her body are just comfortable, not gorgeous. The eldest princess smiled when she saw Mr. Su's mother and son, looked at Su Bai and said, "I have also heard that Xiao Su Tanhua looks very much like your father, and it is indeed somewhat similar." ”

Mr. Su saluted and smiled, "It's just that it looks alike, but its temperament is completely different." ”

Su Bai also greeted the eldest princess, and the eldest princess smiled, "If they all look the same, then what's the point." Xiao Su is Xiao Su, and Big Su is Big Su, which is different. The people of the palace gave Su Bai a meeting gift, and said, "I have prepared it a long time, your mother will not bring you here for a long time, put it aside for a long time, take it to play." ”

Su Bai said thank you and answered, listening to his mother talking to the eldest princess, very familiar with each other. Until it was late in the morning, the mother and son got up to say goodbye, and the eldest princess said, "If you go up the mountain again, just come over and talk to me." ”

Mr. Su smiled, "Now that I am free, I will come often, you have a good scenery here." ”

The eldest princess ordered the palace people to send the mother and son out.

After Yong'an Hou heard the news that the guards had returned to the Su family's mother and son to go to Laomei Nunnery, the governor had no place to return, and sighed softly.

There are rules in the imperial court, Layue does not kill people, and it hurts the heavens and the peace. Mrs. Li and Xia Gongren were both in prison, waiting for the news of the death penalty, but the news of Yong'anhou's suicide came first.

After eating Laba porridge, Yong'an Hou saw the sons and committed suicide in the study. Leaving a testament, Yan Ji's family was from a humble background, and his mother acted inappropriately, the sons were shallow in learning, and they were not worthy of the position of marquis, and they dedicated all the property of the Yong'an Marquis Mansion to state affairs, and asked His Majesty to choose another merit to inherit the title.

Mr. Su was reading a book, and when he heard this, he just turned the page lightly, "um", and said to the guard, "Send Ziyu Qingyun back to Changqing." ”

The author has something to say: good night~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
