Although Qiu Chen said it in passing, but listening to Qin Zheng's analysis, he really didn't need that one. After being stunned for a while, she lay down in Qin Zheng's arms and sighed, "I'm really not suitable to be a bad person...... I didn't come up with a single idea that worked! ”

Seeing Qiu Chen raise his eyebrows and want to speak, Qin Zheng hurriedly grabbed her, and said while comforting: "It's not troublesome to say that these two ideas are troublesome, but even the timing is not right." Although it is easy to sue the tenant farmer for the death of the tenant farmer, at most the supervisor will sentence him to prison and will not hurt Zhai's family; The second is less drugged, so it has to be when you enter the exam room, right? It's April at the earliest...... This is more than two months, not to mention the time, and we can't let the Zhai family know that it was us who made it. Let them know that the second sister will not be able to live in the Zhai family in the future; Don't let them know...... Then it's completely useless to do it! ”

Qin Zheng turned his eyes to look at his dazed wife, and finally held back his laughter, and said with a slight curve of his mouth: "It's the ...... that forced the tenant farmers to death and drugged the second young man of their family."

Qiu Chen didn't react for a while, and asked in a daze, "Is it okay to pay attention to those few?" ”

Raising his hand to wipe the tears from the corner of his eyes, Qin Zheng stretched out his hand to pull Qiu Chen to lie down, leaning on his arms, and then said, "You can't pay attention to those few people!" ”

Where did this threat get into his eyes, but Qin Zheng gradually stopped laughing, not because he was afraid of her threat, but because he heard that she was really anxious.

"Hey, what are you laughing at? Yes...... The second sister was tortured like that, don't you say help me, and laugh at me...... Oh, don't laugh...... Don't laugh, laugh again, laugh again, I'll ignore you......" Qiu Chen pushed the man who was laughing on top of him, and threatened casually in some anger.

Qiu Chen said his plan fiercely, Qin Zheng listened to it, his eyes widened and widened, and finally he couldn't help laughing, reached out to hold Qiu Chen's waist, put his head on Qiu Chen's waist, and couldn't stop laughing.

"Oh, no? Why not? She is trying to kill her second sister like this, she is going to kill her second sister, she has moved to kill people, I just send someone to smash her? Qiu Chen asked in surprise. Without waiting for Qin Zheng to answer, his own mind turned quite quickly, and he immediately said in a blink of an eye, "It's okay if I don't send someone to smash her...... I heard that the Zhai family relies on a few farms...... Last year, an old farmer was beaten by their housekeeper because he couldn't pay the tenant rent...... This is forcing people to die, and the steward who beat people to death is the nephew of the old lady of the Zhai family! So I asked the family to sue him...... Don't say anything else, let Tongzhou County put that person in prison first! …… There is also the second young man of the Zhai family, who is said to be going to take the government examination this year...... If you suddenly fall ill and vomit and diarrhea, you will not be allowed to enter the examination room! ”

"Smashing people...... No way! ”

Qin Zheng's petty temperament still doesn't sound like it, and thinking about the bold appearance when he first saw her, Qin Zheng was a little unsure of what she would do when she was angry, so he turned around worriedly.

As he spoke, Qiu Chen was really a little moved, and said hatefully: "If this is in the village, I will bring someone to the door and smash the Zhai family first...... Is she bullying her second sister and no one in her mother's family? I haven't settled an account with her for meddling in my son's room, but at this time I actually moved the mind of killing my second sister, I used to see that she was the grandmother of Mingwei, at this time, since she has no love from her elders, I don't care what happens to her, I will find someone to come to the door tomorrow, and smash her first...... Otherwise, it's not enough to relieve your anger! ”

Qiu Chen looked at him, sighed, and then said angrily: "Have you never seen the appearance of the second sister, it turns out that she has such a plump and delicate face, and it has only been a few days, and her eyes are also wide?" , his cheeks also collapsed, and his face was sallow and blue, as if he was seriously ill...... If she hadn't picked her up on February 2, maybe she would have been tortured to death by the Zhai family! ”

Qin Zheng's ears moved slightly, but he still didn't look back with his face turned in.

Qin Zheng leaned on a big pillow on the kang alone, and ignored it when he heard Qiu Chen come in, Qiu Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but bend up, waved his hand, and the girls and daughters-in-law couldn't help but laugh and retreated, she took off her shoes and went on the kang, but she didn't coax the man who made the little sex, she picked up the teapot on the kang table and poured a glass of water, and drank half a cup, then let out a long breath, waved his right hand, and sighed: "I only know today that beating people is not a trivial job, alas, this hand is still numb at this point." …… Is this going to be scrapped? ”

In the half-acre garden, Brother Yun and He Zhen and Tian were tired of playing, and fell asleep in the West House, Qiu Chen first frowned into the West House to take a look, and saw the three fat boys sleeping soundly, pulled the corners of the quilt for a few children, and folded them out and entered the East House.

Called two rough envoys who watched the yard, and asked them to clean up and light the fire first, boil hot water, and make it easy to clean and wipe everywhere, Qiu Chen went out of Wisteria Xuan, sat in the warm sedan chair again, and went all the way to the half-acre garden.

Because Qiu Chen was preparing for a banquet when the forsythia flowers bloomed, Wisteria Xuan was a place where she planned to change clothes and rest for the guests at that time, and she had cleaned and arranged it before, but now it looked just a little colder, but it was proper and clean everywhere, and then she took some bright and comfortable tents and futons to decorate, lit a fire and baked it, and the room was very comfortable.

Qiu Chen walked out of Mu'en Courtyard, took a warm sedan chair, went all the way into the back garden, and went to the Wisteria Pavilion to have a look.

Hanguang listened carefully, called Yuntong Wulan and two second-class girls to come over and wait, and hurriedly went to find Chengying Yufeng to arrange Wisteria Xuan.

When she came to the outhouse, Hanguang took a cloak and put it on for her, Qiu Chen instructed as she walked out: "You go and talk to Yufeng, let her pick up the brightly colored curtains and futons and send them over, you pick a few mothers-in-law to go over and clean up the Wisteria Xuan...... The second aunt and grandmother like Lu'an tea, red bean crisp and lotus seed cake, and ordered the kitchen to prepare it and send it over. For the time being, I will lay out the other uses...... Discuss with Chengying again, first pick a few rough maidens from Mu'en Courtyard and send them over, and wait. I instructed them carefully and let them serve them well. ”

Yixuan Yiheng sat up straight with a smile, Qiu Chen waved his hand, jumped off the kang, and hurriedly walked out.

"Since I have picked a place, I will go and order someone to pick up and arrange it...... The two younger sisters rest in peace, sleep for a while, and tell the girl if there is anything, a few laurel and Dongxiang, you all know each other. ”

Qiu Chen and Yi Heng glanced at each other, and then turned back to look at Yi Xuan together, both showing relieved smiles.

Yi Xuan had gradually stretched her strength, glanced at Yi Heng, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law is sincerely thinking about her sister, I understand in my heart." ”

Hearing this, without waiting for Yi Xuan's reaction, Yi Heng nodded again and again in response.

Speaking of this, Qiu Chen paused, and said with a smile: "I said this, it is to let the second sister live in peace, let's just make a move on this matter, since we are forced to make a move, we must have an explanation for us, we can't be vague and vague, who knows if there will be something to do in the future, and it will be your attention again!" ”

Saying that, Qiu Chen measured it in his heart, and said: "It's inevitable that it's too close to the lake at this time, it's inevitable that it's wet and cold, there is a wisteria Xuan on the east side of the back garden, not to mention that a wisteria grows, and there is a forsythia outside the yard, such a day, in ten days and eight days, the forsythia blooms and is golden, how much is it beautiful!" Further out, there are more than an acre of peonies and peonies...... In addition to the wisteria in the yard, from here until the beginning of summer, there are flowers and beautiful scenery......"

Qiu Chen smiled and said: "The half-acre garden is next to the greenhouse, in the northwest corner of the garden, not to mention the inconvenience of travel, even the location is not good, it is just during the day, and it is too secluded at night...... If you like the warm shed, you can be like me, go over every day, you can still walk around when you are far away, it is only good for the second sister and the children! ”

Yixuan and Yiheng were stunned at the same time, and looked at them in a blink of an eye.

Yi Xuan's eyes were also a little joyful, and just as she was about to speak, Qiu Chen shook her head with a smile and said, "That place is not suitable!" ”

Yixuan and Yiheng were a little relaxed by her, the sisters looked at each other, Yiheng smiled and said for Yixuan: "I think the half-acre garden arranged by my sister-in-law is good, close to the warm shed, you can go to the warm shed to see the flowers and grass if you have nothing to do, and you can pick some fresh melons and fruits by yourself......"

Yiheng naturally agreed to Qiu Chen's meaning, Qiu Chen immediately changed the topic, and said to Yixuan Yiheng with a smile: "And my sister will live here for a few days, and she won't be able to live in the guest room anymore, you think about it, which courtyard should I live in?" I asked people to arrange it, and the fourth sister happened to look at it for the second sister. But it has to be arranged comfortably and properly, so that the second sister can rest at ease. …… Oh, it's not too small, Mingwei and Zhixian Zhide have taken it, and the yard is too small to live in. ”

As he spoke, seeing that Yi Heng also realized that he had said it, Yi Xuan's eyes came alive again, Qiu Chen smiled: "If the fourth sister is okay these days, come over to accompany the second sister more, and then bring He Zhen and Tian over, so that the children can get together more and get close to each other in the future!" ”

Yi Xuan's face fell a little gray with Yi Heng's analysis, and his eyes were a little cold, Qiu Chen looked at something wrong, and hurriedly stopped Yi Heng: "The fourth sister is thinking too much, let's all look at the second sister, how can we let things develop to that point!" …… Second sister, you don't have to think so much about it now, since you are here, you can live here with peace of mind and make up for the debts of these days......"

Yi Heng also immediately retorted: "That's the case, if you really let that woman close, she won't be a wife, and she won't marry a wife in the future?" …… Also, it's not unheard of with a concubine as a wife, that kind of thing, no one sues the prime minister, who will care, after a long time, who still remembers whether she was a concubine or a wife? ”

Yi Xuan was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said: "You can't be a concubine!" ”

Yi Heng followed up and elaborated on this sentence: "Sister, you can't be kind at this time, think about it, if you really let her succeed, you don't count it every day to earn the name of an aunt, who knows if you will attack a few children in the future?" She has a child and is promoted to aunt, who knows if she will covet the position of the main wife? ”

Women are weak, but mothers are strong!

Yixuan and Yiheng are not vicious and ruthless women, especially Yiheng, who is even more gentle and humble, which makes people feel distressed. But such a woman, under this social system, still treats concubines and concubines so viciously...... Just because this is not a trivial matter such as jealousy, the war in the backyard is not only about the belonging of the man, but also related to the life and future of the woman herself and even her children!

Qiu Chen's eyes were slightly stunned, and in the blink of an eye, there was only a sigh left.

After a brief pause, as if he had made up his mind, Yi Heng said fiercely: "You go back, you go back, whether that person is pregnant or not, pour a bowl of medicine first, and stop her childbirth!" ”

Yi Heng heard both of them say this, he was a little anxious, took Yi Xuan's hand and said eagerly: "This is careless, young and beautiful, and such a 'sensible and courteous', and with the status given by the old lady, if there is a man and a woman in your life, it will be too late for you to deal with it......"

Yi Xuan smiled, patted her hand and said, "I really don't care much about that, it's the same as my sister-in-law said, it's not a big deal." As long as I go back, the power of the house is in my hands, and she can't say anything inside, and she keeps it alone...... Forgive her for not having a big deal! ”

Yi Heng squinted his eyes and said with a cold face: "She was given by the old lady, and it would be a scourge to keep it......"

"What I mean, no matter what means are used, let the old lady of the Zhai family let go of the second sister. Of course, this method can't make her say anything unfavorable to the second sister...... This is the first step. Speaking of this, Qiu Chen paused slightly, looked at Yi Xuan and Yi Hengdao, "As for what to do with that girl, it depends on the meaning of the second sister." It's okay to keep it, or find a wrong place to send it away, it's not a big deal. ”

Yi Heng nodded busily and agreed.

Qiu Chen looked at the expressions of the two in his eyes, and said with a smile: "In this matter, the fourth sister and I are all helping, and it depends on what the second sister thinks in her heart......

Yi Heng breathed a sigh of relief, and turned his eyes to look at Yi Xuan, the two sisters had grown up dependent on each other since childhood, and their eyes met to understand each other's meaning.

Qiu Chen smiled and waved his hand, and said disapprerovitically: "This matter, we are all for your second sister, we are discussed, there is nothing to complain about, you don't have to care about that!" ”

Yi Heng listened and was relieved, nodded again and again, and said with a slightly red face: "Sister-in-law, I'm too worried about the second sister...... Didn't mean to complain about you! ”

"Fourth sister, the old lady of the Zhai family is like this, we haven't said anything again, not only will they not stop, but they will definitely intensify their treatment of the second sister...... So, it's a must. I sent someone to pick up the children, and if she released them, let your second sister and the children live with me for the time being, at least you don't have to go back to suffer; If she doesn't let her go, then I'll go and visit the old lady myself......"

Qiu Chen also took off his shoes and put them on the kang, took a big pillow to lean on, stretched his legs, took two thin quilts to cover the legs of the three people, and spoke slowly.

Removing the leftovers and scorching, the girls served tea, Qiu Chen walked to the outhouse, asked, and learned that Qin Zheng took Brother Yun and the two children of Yiheng's family to eat and play well in the half-acre garden, so he was relieved and turned back, Yixuan Yiheng sat next to each other on the kang, leaning on the big pillow and talking.

Qiu Chen and Yixuan Yiheng sat on the kang casually, and while talking, they ate the spring cakes of February 2nd with some confusion.

Yixuan Yiheng nodded in response, Qiu Chen ordered, and the girls and mothers-in-law brought up the meals that had been prepared a long time ago and put them on the table.

Smoothing his eyes and hiding the sigh in his eyes, Qiu Chen raised his eyes to look at Yixuan Yiheng and said, "It's not too early now, let's set the meal and talk slowly...... The children are coming, and it's going to be evening! ”

Qiu Chen looked at it and felt uncomfortable in his heart, he didn't want it to be a woman, and her husband reluctantly entertained himself because he wanted to be promoted and make a fortune, right? A woman wants a man to truly love herself, not because of other external factors......

As she spoke, the smile on Yi Xuan's face deepened by two points, but the sadness in her eyes couldn't be concealed.

As he spoke, his eyes looked at Yi Xuan, Yi Xuan looked at her for a moment, pulled the corners of her lips and smiled, and also comforted Yi Heng and said: "Yes, what my sister-in-law said is right, the Zhai family has accumulated for generations, studied and studied for scientific examinations, isn't it just to return to the court one day?" Then, they just used some unsightly little tricks to torture me, and they didn't dare to really do anything to me! ”

Seeing that the sisters were a little worried, Qiu Chen smiled and comforted Yiheng: "Don't worry, it's going to be fine!" ”

Qiu Chen looked at the two sisters crying and persuading, focusing on Yixuan's expression, and could see that although she had been tortured, she might be disappointed and sad with her husband, but she obviously had no intention of divorcing...... This kind of thing can only depend on the thoughts and wishes of the parties...... Then, those of them who want to help can only find a way to give her this marriage and make her as little angry as possible in the future...... That being the case, the means should not be too drastic.

Yi Xuan was much calmer, seeing her sister like this, she hurriedly put down the teacup in her hand, took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears for Yi Heng, while persuading: "It's not as strict as you said." Besides, it's like this now, ...... What else? ”

As he spoke, he turned his eyes to look at Yi Xuan's haggard face, and in just ten days, even his eyes and cheeks collapsed...... I couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness, and tears flowed silently all over my face.

Yi Heng was a little uncomfortable, but he still nodded: "After all, my sister is someone's daughter-in-law, then, that old lady can make the second sister have endless hardships with the word 'filial piety'!" ”

Qiu Chen took the red date lotus seed tea handed over by the girls, handed a cup to Yi Xuan, took another cup and handed it to Yi Heng, and said with a smile: "Why is it not good?" Are you afraid that your second sister will go back and be tortured by that old pious woman? ”

Yi Heng glanced at Yi Xuan, whose face was still haggard but gradually had a little blood, turned his head to look at Qiu Chen, and said, "Sister-in-law, just send those two mothers-in-law back...... Okay? ”

After entering Mu'en Courtyard, sitting on the warm kang, and taking the hot handkerchief sent by the girls and wiping their hands and faces, Yi Xuan and Yi Heng came back to their senses in a daze.

Qiu Chen had a seizure, turned around, and greeted Qingxing Haosheng to entertain Yiheng Yixuan's maid-in-law with a smile on his face, and he and Yiheng helped Yixuan to sit in a warm sedan chair with one left and one right, and went back.

Chen and Lin agreed repeatedly, and helped the two Zhai family's mothers-in-law in a good voice, and then left the Jingbei Hou Mansion with the car that had just stopped for a short time, and went straight to Tongzhou.

Qiu Chen said again: "Tell the old lady of the Zhai family, I think the three children think about it tightly, the old lady will definitely be able to understand my aunt's heart of wanting to be a nephew, you must also serve well along the way, don't let the children suffer from the cold and wind, otherwise, I can't explain to the old lady of the Zhai family!" ”

Chen and Lin hurriedly lowered their hands and agreed.

Qiu Chen squinted his eyes and stared at the two mothers-in-law who kept kowtowing in front of him, turned back to the Chen family and the Lin family, and said: "Send them back to Mrs. Zhai, and accompany Mrs. Zhai for me, although I am the county lord, although I am the emperor, after all, I am from the village, and I don't have the Zhai family's scholarly family to understand the rules, and this temperament is also hot and rude, and I can't tolerate a little sand in my eyes, so I told the old lady of the Zhai family, I am a vulgar person who is a village head, I have grown so big, and my temperament has been set, and I can't change it, what is there to be rude, The old lady of the Zhai family is the one who is knowledgeable, and she will definitely be able to tolerate and forgive, and she will not be as knowledgeable as a rough person like me! ”

When the two mothers-in-law heard this, they dared to answer again, but they only kowtowed in panic and refused to speak again.

"Oh? Bad weather? Back and forth? Anyway, it's all my aunt who thinks of ways to harm her own niece and niece, right? The smile on Qiu Chen's face faded, and he sneered unhurriedly.

When the two kowtowing mothers-in-law heard this, their hearts were pang again, and they kowtowed again and again: "Uncle's wife, you misunderstood, our wife was distressed that the young lady and the young master were running around, and she thought that the spring season was not good, so she didn't let the young lady and the young master follow!" ”

Lin pursed her lips and didn't speak, this was not something she needed to answer.

Qiu Chen didn't wait for Mama Lin's words to fall, and then laughed: "Is the old lady of the Zhai family afraid that I, the eldest aunt, will mistreat Miss Cousin and Young Master Cousin?" ”

Mama Chen and Mama Lin also cleaned up their usual casualness, bent their knees respectfully, and Mama Lin replied: "Mrs. Hui, the slaves and maids went to the Zhai family to truthfully pass on Madame's words, it was the old lady of the Zhai family who cherished Miss Cousin and Young Master Cousin, and was reluctant to let Miss Cousin and Young Master Cousin come with her!" ”

Qiu Chen's face was pale, and he didn't look at the two kowtowing mothers-in-law, turned his head to look at the other two girls who came back with Yi Xuan, still with a smile on his face, and turned his eyes to find Mama Chen and Mama Lin and asked, "Didn't I ask you to pick up the second sister and the children for the festival?" Why did you only pick up one of your second sisters? ”

The two mothers-in-law didn't dare to answer anymore when they were questioned by Qiu Chen, so they only kowtowed again and again to ask for guilt.

Qiu Chen laughed angrily, stared at the two mothers-in-law who were kneeling on the ground and said, "I connived at your rudeness and generosity, is it kindness and generosity?" I don't connive at you, this wicked woman, is it me who is mean and unkind? Hehe, if it's really a slave from the scholarly family, this is scolding me in a different way? Yes? ”

The mother-in-law trembled, forced by Qiu Chen's gaze, inch by inch, but she didn't dare to resent, raised her eyes and saw Qiu Chen's lips move and wanted to say something, the mother-in-law who came with her rushed up, held her down, and kneeled down together, kowtowing and begging for mercy: "Uncle wife forgiveness, uncle wife forgiveness, slaves and maids also look at Uncle and Mrs. mercy, this is indulgence, don't dare in the future!" ”

"Why?" The smile on Qiu Chen's face remained unchanged, but his eyes were cold without a trace of temperature, staring at the woman's eyes wandering in vain, Qiu Chen's voice was not loud, but he definitely said word by word: "When, when do you dare to call you 'you' and 'me' to the master even if you can't get on the table?" Your Zhai family is known as a scholarly family, so you let your subordinates be rampant and rude, without going up and down, and ignoring etiquette? ”

When he came to his senses, he covered his face, stared at Qiu Chen with his eyes and said, "Uncle's wife, why did you beat me?" ”

The smile on Qiu Chen's face was full of joy, but when he raised his hand, he slapped it loudly on the mother-in-law's face, and the mother-in-law's head was tilted suddenly, her body staggered, and she almost fell out.

The mother-in-law who came with Yi Heng hurriedly smiled and agreed, the two mothers-in-law behind Yi Xuan glanced at each other, and one of the mother-in-law with a big cake face smiled on her face, stepped forward, came to Qiu Chen and bent her knees and said: "Uncle and wife, our wife told us to follow the young grandmother, we don't dare to be lazy......"

On the other side, Qiu Chen smiled and instructed the Lin family and Qingxing behind him: "You lead the people who came with the two aunts and grandmothers to rest!" ”

Yi Heng raised his eyes and followed Qiu Chen's gesture, looked at the two mothers-in-law behind Yi Xuan, nodded clearly, forced a smile, and helped Yi Xuan and said, "Look at me, I lost my temper if I didn't see my second sister for a few days...... Let's go, second sister, sister-in-law has prepared spring cakes for us, let's go in and eat the cakes and talk slowly! ”

The spirit spirit shuddered, and Qiu Chen was shocked that he actually had the intention of killing...... Suppressing the resentful impulse for a moment, Qiu Chen turned his eyes to look at the mother-in-law and girls standing around him, especially the subordinates of the Zhai family and the Shao family, squinted his eyes slightly, Qiu Chen wiped the moisture from the corners of his eyes, stepped forward and patted Yiheng's shoulder and smiled and comforted: "The second sister and the fourth sister have something to say when they come into the house, the wind outside is still cold at this time, don't hurt the wind when you stand here!" ”

But looking at the situation now, does the Zhai family actually have the intention of killing Yixuan? If this is the case, Qiu Chen is angry, and he really wants to find a way to help Yixuan separate from that family...... Harmony and righteousness will never work, and during the tenure of the eldest prince Zhai, it is normal for an accident or an illness to disappear.

Yixuan loves her children so much, and it is obviously unrealistic for her to divorce her children abandoned. No matter how much she thinks about it, she can't let go of her child.

More importantly, the two ways of divorce and divorce in this era are only to end the relationship between husband and wife, and the children are regarded as belonging to the husband's family, and the mother has no right to take them away. At this point, it is not as good as a widow...... Widows are at least able to carry their own children.

Qiu Chen's eyes were also red, Yi Xuan had lost her human form after all the struggles, and it had only been a few days? Is the dead old woman of the Zhai family going to fight Yixuan to death? It turned out that although she was angry with the Zhai family, she still wanted to help Yixuan continue to live, after all, she has children and daughters, and this society is like this, it is very difficult for a woman to get married and want to divorce, and she will suffer all kinds of criticism from the society in the future...... Life is more difficult than that of a widow.
