Chapter 107: An Explanation

When he got up early in the morning, the little marquis left without even eating, he wanted to rush to Yonghe Courtyard to discuss the affairs of the Shi family with his parents, and Cui Jinrui, the youngest grandson of the uncle's family, died strangely, and he always had to give an explanation. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Last night, the three of them discussed for most of the night, but they still didn't have an idea, because there was no evidence, and Shi kept saying that she was wronged, and she didn't do it, so Shi naturally couldn't rest.

But the pastry that poisoned Jinrui was indeed sent by the Tang Pozi in the Hou Mansion's kitchen, if the Tang Pozi was still alive, as soon as you asked, you will know who instructed her to send this harmful thing, the problem is that the Tang Pozi is dead, and this clue is broken.

Now the uncle's family wants an explanation, and they point out that the pastry was sent by Shi, but Shi denied it, saying that he had never made it, so who made it? In short, no matter who did it, this thing is detained in the Hou Mansion, as the saying goes, the yellow mud falls in the crotch of the pants, it is not but, no matter what, the Hou Mansion is inseparable.

Cui Shuyan hurriedly walked on the way to Yongheyuan, and his head was not idle, thinking about it. Perhaps, the uncle's family will think that he and his father instructed his subordinates to do it, then this misunderstanding will be a big one. Therefore, we must give an explanation, but also give an explanation, as for how to explain, what to explain, it is a problem, now is to find evidence, to find such a murderer, think that arsenic will appear in the house, this poison makes people shudder, and it still appears in the pastry, it is really unguardable!

Finally arrived at Yonghe Courtyard, Hou Ye and Mrs. Hou Ye had already gotten up, and the two of them didn't sleep well all night, they encountered this kind of thing at such an age, they worried about it all night, and even their hair turned a lot whiter, Cui Shuyan saw his father's and mother's old face, his nose was sore, and he knelt in front of the two of them with a plop, and shed tears: "My son is sorry for my father, I made the two elders frightened." ”

Hou Ye raised his hand and told him to get up: "Yan'er! I thought about it with your mother for a night, this Shi Shi, although she didn't admit it, but your uncle's family letter just said that she had a grudge against her, and it didn't matter if it was Tang Pozi who she ordered or not, this matter must have nothing to do with her, such a poisonous woman, our family can't tolerate it, so let's take a break! It can be regarded as giving an explanation to your uncle and cousin Shugang. As for the two children, Jin Zhen and Sister Yun, you don't have to worry, I will ask your mother to take a good look in Beijing in the second half of the year, and then help you find a satisfactory family affair, and take another one to take care of them. ”

Cui Shuyan was a little surprised: "Then, Dad, the matter has not been investigated clearly, is it too hasty to draw such a conclusion?" Besides, the historian is not a good person, can they agree? Dad, you also know that my father-in-law has been in the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites for more than ten years, and he still has some connections and power in the court, and it is always not good to tear his face. ”

Mrs. Hou snorted angrily on the side and said, "Yan'er, you are too soft-hearted, your daughter-in-law is not a good person!" I think it's her ghost this time, you think, in this house, in addition to Hou Ye and me, and you, it's her, and the big kitchen has always been taken care of by her, if it weren't for her, who would be able to call the soup woman on the stove. Neither I nor your dad nor you have ever done it, so it must be her. This woman is so vicious, she wants my Cui family to be restless! No, you must divorce her, you are obedient, write a letter of divorce, and your mother will help you clean her up. We don't want this kind of woman in our family, and we will find a good one in the future. The more Mrs. Hou spoke, the more angry she became, smoke almost came out of her head, and her mouth seemed to breathe fire, she probably forgot now, Shi Huiyun was not the one she helped Cui Shuyan get back, when she took a fancy to others, she said that Shi Huiyun was gentle and virtuous, generous and decent, and now she .........

After all, she has been a husband and wife for many years, and she gave birth to her own son-in-law and daughter-in-law, Cui Shuyan just knelt there, and did not respond to her mother's words, so she was still reluctant to divorce Shi. Except for the time when she went to the Green Willow Courtyard to fill Qian Yuning's fetal pills, she didn't miss anything, as the saying goes, how can a stepmother have a good mother, no matter how bad Shi is, she really loves her two children, Cui Shuyan feels sorry for her two children, so she is naturally unwilling to divorce her.

Seeing that her son disagreed, Mrs. Hou Ye lowered her face and glanced at the old Hou Ye, who coughed twice and said, "Shuyan! This, your uncle wants an explanation, after all, we are a family, and we all have the same blood on our bodies, the blood is thicker than water, and the bones are broken and the tendons are connected. No matter how this Shi family is said to be a person with a foreign surname, there is no need to hurt the family's flesh and blood for a person with a foreign surname! What do you think? ”

Cui Shuyan glanced up at his father and mother, and said disapprovingly: "Father, according to the child's opinion, even if our family abandons Shi Shi back, the uncle's family will not give up." When the time comes, our family will offend the Shi family again, which is really not a good way. ”

The old marquis blew his beard and glared at him, "Then what should you do?" "The old Hou Ye is an expert in fighting, but when it comes to dealing with things, he is not as good as Mrs. Hou Ye, the whole person is used to being rough and rough, and he will not think of some small summaries, let alone take it to heart.

Cui Shuyan said: "If you keep Shi first, you can ban her feet, let her eat vegetarian food for three months, and pray for the blessing of Jinrui's child, which can be regarded as atonement." In addition, didn't you say last time that Uncle wanted you to give him 200,000 taels of silver? Let's make it up, we can always make it up, and if we can't make up the money, we will sell the two other courtyards in the capital, which should be enough. I personally brought the silver to the door to make amends, although it is really pitiful that Jinrui went, but I can't watch another person go in, in this way, not only can the eldest uncle not be relieved, but we are inseparable from the Shi family, and when the time comes, we will be even more disadvantaged by the enemy. ”

Listening to his son's analysis, Hou Ye and his wife felt that he had some truth in it, and couldn't help but fall silent and had no idea.

But Mrs. Hou is still not very happy in her heart, her family wants to take out 200,000 taels of silver to give to the uncle's family, this is cutting her flesh, and she hates Shi Shi thoroughly in her heart, this mourning star, the daughter-in-law of the ruined family, she doesn't want it anymore, but just like her son said, if she is divorced, the Shi family will never give up at that time, and she will have to cause a mess of bad things, and it will be endless.

Thinking about it, it's because there is no reason to abandon her, you say she made a mistake in seven outs, she didn't, she is filial to her in-laws on weekdays, takes care of housework, and disciplines her children are all in good order, and she treats her son's aunt and concubine children on the surface, and there is nothing wrong with it.

You said that she instructed Tang Pozi to poison, there is no definite evidence, Tang Pozi is dead, just based on Cui Shugang and his wife's words, and she herself denied it from the beginning, saying that she did not do this, and indeed did not condemn her. Now it's just her own speculation, it is very likely that she did it, Mrs. Hou Ye thought hatefully in her heart, see how I clean her up in the future, I will definitely have this evil breath, otherwise I always feel that a wave of anger in my chest can't come out, and I will feel a pain in my chest.

When it was time for lunch, Hou Ye finally figured it out, nodded in agreement, and said: "Then you can do it, madam, you go and see how many silver tickets we have to give to Yan'er, and there should be some cash on a few storefronts, Yan'er, you go and collect it next to you, I will go to the treasury to see what things can be sold for money, clean them up for you, and sell them, don't touch the two courtyards in the capital first, if you really can't make up the silver, sell it again." ”

After the Hou Ye finished speaking, Mrs. Hou Ye muttered: "Our family has so many foundations, this time it's all gone, I think the Shi family's dowry is also a little heavy, I think she should be able to get 50,000 taels of silver, if you ask her to pay the gong, it is better not to sell gold, silver and jade, the dignified Hou Mansion, sell the things in the warehouse, outsiders will not look good when they see it." ”

This time, the old marquis and the little marquis both shook their heads and disagreed, Cui Shuyan glanced at his mother-in-law, it was hard to say anything, the old marquis said angrily: "The woman is a woman, the eyelids are shallow, even if our Hou Mansion is poor and dead, we will not touch the dowry of the daughter-in-law, do I want to be a man if I say it?" I'm afraid that in the future, the court will have to wear a black scarf. ”

In one sentence, Mrs. Hou was stunned, unable to move, and felt aggrieved in her heart, oh, your old Cui family wants to be faceless and not to touch the daughter-in-law's dowry, but why use my dowry, then I can be regarded as marrying in, but she looked at her son and endured it and didn't say anything.

Cui Shuyan saw that his mother was wronged, and squatted down to hold his mother's hand and comforted: "Mother, don't worry, if you can't get it together, I'll go and borrow it from the second prince, our Hou Mansion is not short of these silver coins, even if there is no one now, I will earn more for your old man in the future, and you will wait to enjoy Qingfu then!" ”

It's still a son, and a word made Mrs. Hou Ye laugh again, she suddenly felt better in her heart, glanced at the old Hou Ye, took her son's hand and said: "Okay, my son is promising, and the future of his mother will all depend on you, you have to fight for your mother!" ”

Cui Shuyan smiled and nodded, and Mrs. Hou suddenly came to her senses again, and said to her son: "I'll go to Luoyue Xuan first and ban Shi's feet, lest she make any more moths." I'll make up the money for you when I come back, and you wait. After saying that, he left in a hurry.

The old marquis and the little marquis glanced at each other, women really can't be messed with, as long as you offend her, she must be thinking about how to clean you up all the time.
