37, Jingjing kindly reminded Yu Niang that the county lord's wedding banquet was murderous because of jealousy
The two mothers-in-law who guarded the Yueqing Courtyard recognized Wang Yanyu and let her in.
Li Xi stayed on duty in Yueqing Courtyard today, and she had already been instructed by Li Jingjing that all her best friends could enter any room in her courtyard.
Li Xi respectfully lifted the thick blue flannel curtain in the hall and said, "Miss Wang, please come inside." β
Wang Yanyu sat in the hall for a while, He Yiyun, Qin Wanjing, and He Yijue came, and after a while, Deng Yun, Tian Susu and several young ladies from the military attache faction also came over.
Wang Yanyu was not very close to them, and he had conflicts with several of them before, so he only ate tea without saying a word.
The nobles talked about the popular costumes in Chang'an recently, Wang Yanyu used to like to listen to these very much, and since his face was disfigured, he has faded.
She felt bored, so she said hello to the nobles, went to the study, and took a travelogue to read.
Li Jingjing's surprised voice sounded, and said, "Yu Niang, you are back from out of town!" β
Before she personally went to the palace to return the 30,000 taels of silver tickets to Wang Yanyu, and also sent some beauty medicines, she learned that Wang Yanyu was going to go far away.
"Xiao Jing Niang, did you miss me?" Wang Yanyu went to his mother's Luoyang Bai clan a few days ago, saying that he was visiting his cousin and uncle, but he was actually on a blind date.
Li Jingjing smiled: "I think about it, but I'm too busy and don't think much." How did you clear it? β
Wang Yanyu threw the travelogue on the desk and said angrily: "Don't mention how unlucky I am, I discussed family affairs with people in my mother's clan in Luoyang, the first time both sides had to exchange birthdays, the man fell into the Yellow River and died, and the second time he just talked about proposing marriage, the man drank alcohol and died drunk." β
She would never say these words to other little girls.
"You should be glad you didn't marry them." Li Jingjing patted Wang Yanyu's little hand, and stopped talking.
"Hmm. My grandma made me think so too. Wang Yanyu took a breath and said softly: "My grandmother said that after the New Year, let me go to the Yun Clan with her and choose a good boy from the children of the Yun Clan." β
"I'm going to tell you something very important." Li Jingjing decided that she had to tell Wang Yanyu, saying: "After the relatives who did not come out of five clothes intermarried, nine out of ten of the children born were disabled. β
Wang Yanyu was very shocked, and her beautiful eyes looked at Li Jingjing without blinking.
The opening of the dynasty, the establishment of the dynasty to the royal family, down to the common people, are all close to each other, cousins marry cousins, cousins marry cousins, in-laws of the younger generations remarry, and even cousins and cousins, cousins and cousins also have marriages.
Wang Yanyu had never heard such remarks.
Li Jingjing's eyes were frank, and she said in a low voice: "Last time, you only told me to go far away, and you didn't say that you went to the Bai clan on a blind date, if you said it, I would have told you about it at that time." β
Wang Yanyu nodded and said, "Xiaojing Niang, I believe you." I'll tell my grandmother to go when I get home tonight. β
Li Jingjing went to the hall, and saw that the nobles who had already decided to marry and prepare for the wedding of Layue were chatting happily, and said hello and joked a few words one by one, but still went to the main courtyard to help the He family entertain the female dependents.
Murong Ying did not come because she was pregnant. He Dong arrived very early with the six princesses and the crown prince.
He Dongzi was personally accompanied by Li Bing.
Li Yunxiao accompanied He Yiyang and the teenagers from various provinces.
The Deng family has the most Xiaolang, and there are twelve of them here today, and there are twelve sentences in one sentence around He Yiyang, which makes He Yiyang have a big head.
Li Yunxiao and the other teenagers saw He Yiyang hiding in the side hall, and the Deng family Xiaolang chased after him, and they all laughed.
Li Yunxiao shook his head and said with emotion to the young people: "You can't decide on family affairs early." β
Liang Xusheng retorted: "It depends on who the woman is." β
Li Yunxiao immediately glanced at Liang Xusheng sensitively, and said in his heart: My sister is mine. I didn't let her get married so early.
There are several county dukes and county princesses, and when they learned that she was named the concubine of the crown prince who was famous for her ruthlessness, she immediately put her mind to death.
He Jingrong, He Jingmei, He Jingdan, and He Jinglian are not very familiar with Li Jingjing, so they didn't go to Yueqing Courtyard, but stayed in the side hall of the main courtyard, talking to several county lords and more than a dozen nobles.
He Jinglian's eyes swept over He Xiu, who was very silent, and said loudly to all the noble girls: "Just now I saw that Yu Niang was more beautiful than when she didn't marry Shang Liang. β
He Jingdan nodded and said with a smile: "I also saw Yu Niang, she combed the latest fashionable lily bun, and followed her mother-in-law Mrs. Du inch by inch with her sister-in-law." β
A noble girl said: "Mrs. Du is the most kind, she regards her daughter-in-law as her own daughter, she has never given her eldest son a concubine before, and she will probably not give Shang Liang a concubine." β
All the noble daughters know that Mrs. Du's eldest daughter-in-law has not conceived an heir for three years after she first got married, and she still dominates the backyard. A mother-in-law like Mrs. Du really can't find a lantern.
This fashionable little sister Shang Lan came in, and the nobles asked her to invite Liang Xuyu over to talk.
Shang Lan saw that He Xiu, who he hated the most, was also present, so she shook her head and declined.
When the auspicious time came, Li Quzhi wore a wedding dress and Di Yurong, who wore a wedding dress and covered her red hijab, and entered the cave room in the blessings of everyone.
Li Quzhi sat down for a while and said a few words to Di Yurong, and then went to toast with all the guests with a smile on his face.
A total of 8 cold dishes and 18 hot dishes were served at this banquet, including abalone, lobster, shark's fin, bear's paw, blood bird's nest, venison, hair cabbage and other delicacies from the mountains and seas.
Recently, people in Chang'an who do red and white things have gathered, and all the guests have compared in their hearts, and the Li family's red wedding banquet is the highest.
Before Li Bingwei came back, the Li family was very low-key in everything, and this time it was rare to have a happy event, and it was to marry the daughter of the Di clan, and the woman's dowry was so valuable, so she wanted to hold a very grand wedding banquet, which was very sincere.
He Dong was worried about Li Bing's lack of money, but later Li Bing gave him some money, and now he had a wedding banquet, and felt that the palace should be like this, and he didn't feel overly extravagant at all.
The wedding banquet was eaten for nearly an hour, because it was the heavenly star marrying his daughter-in-law, and the guests did not dare to make a happy hall, not to mention that the Li Mansion was the prince's mansion, and its status was noble, which was not suitable for the customs of the folk happy hall.
One after another, the people of the provinces departed.
The ladies of the royal family saw that Emperor He Dong had not left, so they did not leave, and they were all invited to the side hall to sit down and eat tea, accompanied by Qu to talk.
He Yiyang came in with a handsome face and called He Yiyun out, He Yijue is He Yiyun's little tail, so he followed.
He Jingmei said in a low voice: "I don't look very good at Brother Yang, but what happened?" β
He Jingdan said softly: "This is the Li family, there are nearly 1,000 soldiers and guards inside and outside the mansion today, all of them are masters, and even a mosquito can't fly in, so nothing will happen." β
Today, the Li Mansion has ten steps and a personal soldier and guard, and the guard is very strict, but the subordinates are disabled but they are busy but not chaotic, and there is no mistake.
The mothers of several princesses did not hold the most grand wedding banquet as well as the Li family.
He Jingmei smiled: "It's winter now, is it okay to have no mosquitoes?" β
Princess Deng's eyes swept over all the princesses and county lords, except for He Jingmei, the best family decision was her daughter He Jingfu, and she thanked Li Bing again in her heart, and spoke more and more intimately to the Qu family.
Kong Ye sat under Princess Deng, changed his usual word, and said a few words to Qu from time to time.
The house full of female dependents spoke hometown dialect about Kong Ye and Qu's family.
Today, King Qing's family of three is here.
He Jingyan came the earliest, and he and He Qing have been following Li Bing, but they didn't know that they thought that their father and son were also the Li family.
Princess Deng saw some clues from the attitude of King Qing's family towards the Li family, but she would not say anything about it on such an occasion.
Princess Niu asked the big slave beside her to find He Xiu, before leaving the table just now, He Xiu said that she was going to the clean room to relieve herself, why did it be a while and she didn't come back.
When she was young, the big slave came with a pale face, and whispered in the ear of the old princess Niu: "Old princess, the young lady stabbed Liang Xuyu with a poisonous dagger in the clean room, and now she and the people around her have been tied up and locked up by the people of the Li Mansion, and the second master is afraid that the Liang family will hurt her, so he hurriedly followed." β
The second master she said was He Jingqing, the second son of Princess Niu.
He Jingqing is twenty-three years old this year, a few years ago, his biological father He Xia just died a year ago and Qin Lan had a peachy scandal, and was sent directly to the north by the old princess Niu, and then when his filial piety expired, he was assigned a family affair, the woman is the eldest daughter of a university scholar, but unfortunately the daughter died of illness last year.
The old princess Niu was shocked and scolded He Xiu angrily in her heart.
She saw that all the princesses, princesses, and county lords around her were laughing with Qu's family, and she didn't know anything about it, so she quickly got up and walked out of the side hall, and was led by the big slave to the place where the incident occurred.
There were many guests talking outside the clean room.
"This is a big day for the Li family, but there was a murder, which is really unlucky."
"The people of the Di tribe came just now, and they are so angry."
"The big slave beside the princess of the protector took the Liang family's Yuniang away, I don't know if Yuniang is still alive now?"
"Why is the county lord of Xiu so vicious and ferocious, he smeared poison on the dagger in advance, and once stabbed the Liang family's Yuniang in the left chest."
"Your Majesty is in the Li Mansion today, and I don't know what to do with Lord Xiu."
Princess Niu arrived in a hurry, and the two noblewomen who had a good relationship with her hurriedly stepped forward to tell what had happened.
The old princess Niu was still holding a fluke just now, and when she heard the two noble ladies say that they had witnessed He Xiu's murder, and pointed to the fresh blood stains on the bluestone slab on the ground for her to see, she was so panicked that her hands and feet were cold, and she couldn't hold back and cry out loud.
The two noblewomen said in a worried voice: "Old princess, don't be angry. β
"Old princess, you go into the house and sit down, and speak slowly."
At this time, Li Yunxiao hurriedly walked over with thick eyebrows and frowned, and said, "Grandma, Your Majesty, please come over and speak." β
Under the strange gaze of all the guests, the old princess Niu walked out of a dozen steps with difficulty, and when she left the courtyard gate, she immediately asked, "How is the Yu Niang of the Liang Kingdom Family?" β
Li Yunxiao shook his head, pointed to his left chest, and said, "Lord Xiujun stabbed Sister Yu of the Liang family, and Sister Yu died on the spot." β
The old princess Niu was so angry that she was about to faint, and the big slave who was supporting her next to her persuaded: "Old lady, maybe Miss Liang is not dead and can still be saved." β
Princess Niu gritted her teeth and scolded: "This evil obstacle was blinded by jealousy and did such a heart-wrenching thing. β
Li Yunxiao was very sympathetic to Princess Niu in his heart, but he was more sympathetic to Liang Xuyu, the Liang family and Liang Xuyu's fiancΓ© Shang Liang, so he did not open his mouth to comfort Princess Niu.
The weather was cold, and the old princess Niu walked only a few dozen steps into the study, but she was so anxious that she sweated profusely.
There are only He Dong and He Yiyang father and son in the study.
He Dong sat on the Taishi chair.
He had drunk a lot of wine, his face flushed before and now he had turned iron-blue, his lips pursed, and his fists clenched beyond his cuffs, obviously very angry.
He Yiyang's face was strange, and he invited the old princess Niu to sit down.
The granddaughter He Xiu killed someone when she was holding a happy event in Li Bing's mansion, causing such a big disaster, where did the old princess Niu dare to sit and kneel down and kowtow.
He Dong said angrily: "He Xiu is so vicious and ferocious at such a young age, it really disappoints me!" β
The old princess Niu was heartbroken, and said: "Uncle, Xiuniang's livestock did such a thing, if the Liang family's Yuniang died, you would kill Xiuniang, take your life to die, and give the Liang family justice." β
He Dong said coldly: "The family comes first, and the state affairs later." There was such a chaos in Jinghai Mansion, so I issued an order to summon him back from the south, and wait until I made amends to my husband's family and dealt with the family affairs. β
The old princess Niu cried with great self-reproach: "Uncle, I didn't take care of my daughter-in-law and granddaughter in these two things. β
He Dong said solemnly: "You and Jing Hai separated five years ago. The affairs of the Jinghai family have nothing to do with you. β
He Yiyang thought that when the old princess Niu was in a desperate situation in the Li family, she had visited the Qingwang Mansion a few times, so he helped her up and asked her to sit down and talk.
Across the two rooms, a young girl's frightened cry and a young man's angry reprimand could be heard.
The girl is the murderer He Xiu.
She chose to kill Liang Xuyu on the day of Li Mansion's big day, just to retaliate for Li Mansion for curing Shang Liang's leg.
She hated Li Fu for meddling in her affairs and helped Shang Liang, who shouldn't have helped.
These words were already said when she was in a state of madness after the murder in the clean room just now, just to be happy for a while.
The young man was He Xiu's uncle, He Jingqing, and he had slapped He Xiu, who was talking nonsense, twice in front of everyone just now.
He Jingqing's face turned purple and red, and he said angrily: "You were carried away by jealousy, and you actually killed someone." You put your own life on the line, and you put the reputation of our two provinces on the line. β
He Xiu knelt at He Jingqing's feet, shook his head and cried, "Uncle, I don't want to die." Take me to the Southland to find my father. β
He Jingqing said angrily: "The Li Mansion is heavily guarded, you are a big living person, not a painting, a brush, or a small thing, how can I take you out of the city?" β
He Xiu begged bitterly: "My father loves me the most, if I die, my father will definitely be very sad." My dad is so good to you, you don't look at my dad heartbroken, do you? β
He Jingqing hesitated.
He Xiu continued to cry: "Uncle, if I die, my grandmother will be sadder than my father. You are the most filial to my grandmother, can you watch my grandmother not live because of the loss of me? β
There was a thud, and the door was kicked open.
He Dong was full of alcohol, walked in with a gloomy face, stared at He Xiu with tiger eyes, and shouted coldly: "You don't have to go to the south to find your father." I will issue an order to recall your father today, and let your father personally kill you and give the Liang family an explanation! β
He Xiu hurriedly rushed to He Dong and kowtowed, crying, "Uncle, I was wrong. I was bewitched. I can't control myself. You spared me this time, and I won't dare to do it again. β
She thought that if she killed someone, she would be able to escape from the Li Mansion by relying on the power of King Rong and the Sea King's Mansion, and then she left Chang'an City and went to the south to hide for two years.
Who knew that the slaves and maids of the Li Mansion injured her two slaves and maids at the scene, and then arrested her, no matter He Jingqing's threats of both soft and hard, they still locked her up here.
What she didn't expect was that He Dong ordered her biological father He Jinghai to be recalled from the south to Chang'an, so that He Jinghai could end her life with his own hands.
He Dong's eyes swept over He Jingqing, who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, and said in a deep voice: "Come on, send the people's daughter He Xiu into the prison." β
In one sentence, he abolished He Xiu's county lord, demoted her to the people, and directly broke the mind of King Rong and Haiwangfu to save He Xiu.
When the old princess Niu heard this, she immediately fainted.
He Xiu was so frightened that she yelled, and was rushed forward by two palace maids to block her mouth with a silk handkerchief, cut her hands behind her back, tied her with a rope, and escorted her out to the Imperial Forest Army.
In full view of everyone, the Imperial Forest Army took He Xiu, whose face was earthy, from the main courtyard of the Li family to the side door, knocked him unconscious, put him in the carriage, and brought him back to the palace prison for detention.
There was a murder case in the Li family, the murderer was the county lord of the royal family, and the victim was the concubine of the Guogong Mansion.
After the ladies of the royal family learned about this, they had different thoughts, and they said it on the spot, looking at the old princess Niu's jokes, worrying about Liang Xuyu, and fighting for the Li family's inequality.
Wangying hurried over and reported in Qu's ear: "The old man, the eldest master, and the eldest young master are all in the pharmacy. The old man, please go and see the second young lady. β
Qu said hello to the girls and walked out of the side hall to see Di Yurong, the second daughter-in-law who had just visited the church with Li.
Kong Ye followed Qu out, his face full of shame, and said, "I'm sorry." β
Although Qu was angry, he did not lose his mind, and said: "This matter has nothing to do with your family. β
Kong Ye accompanied Qu Shi to the newcomer's courtyard, looked at the bright red happy words pasted on the windows and doors, and sighed softly in his heart.
The royal ladies in the side hall finally learned that He Xiu was cut off by He Dong and thrown into the prison, and he was going to be killed by He Jingqing himself, they all shuddered, and no one spoke for a while.
This big event spread out at great speed.
None of the Hu and Liu clans went to eat the wedding wine, but they all sent people to inquire outside the Li Mansion, and came to report once in half an hour, the Li Mansion was full of people but not chaotic, and the young patriarchs of the Niu, Bai, Hong, Deng, and Yun clans of the big family for hundreds of years all went to eat the wedding wine, tea, fruits, dried fruits, snacks, and vegetables and wine were all excellent, and they were so angry that they were going to die.
"Li Bingguo is really the reincarnation of the Heavenly Star, and on the day when his sister-in-law is married, he has to see blood and death."
"What did the Li family do about the happy event, it turned out to be a homicide?"
