Eighty-seventh
"My mother, how did she die, it's just a common girl, and it's not a big crime to cut off her head? Why did a person who went out in the morning die in the yamen? β
Yi Fei wiped her tears and asked her maid Xiaoju.
Mrs. Tai didn't order anyone to find out about the life or death of the Liu family at all, but she couldn't stand that many people in this mansion were very concerned about the fate of the former number one aunt in their mansion. There were many mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law in the inner courtyard who inquired from the front and outer courtyards, and whispered enthusiastically in the house. There was even the warm-hearted daughter-in-law who went to tell Yifei's two personal maids in detail, and they came to tell Yifei about it.
Xiao Ju said: "I listened to what those daughters-in-law said, according to our Yan Qin's law, 'All adulterers, both men and women will be given eighty rods, and those who will be punished according to the distance of their relatives. 'Our aunt and grandmother and her cousin were both sentenced to a hundred boards of rods by the Shuntian Mansion Yin. β
"What? If you have to take a hundred strokes, this man will be able to pay back, how can a woman with such a weak body hold up? What's more, my mother is still pregnant, wait, my mother is still pregnant, how can they execute a pregnant woman? β
"My aunt and grandmother did shout like this in the court, saying that she had been pregnant for more than two months, but the official called a stable woman to see that it was that my aunt was obviously only one month pregnant, and said that my aunt and grandmother were divorced in September, and what she was carrying in her belly must be the evil seed with her cousin, how can this kind of evil seed that messes up humanity be kept? He ordered his aunt and grandmother and her cousin to be dragged outside and stripped off their clothes in front of the people, saying that they were to warn the world! β
"What?" When Yi Fei heard that her mother was actually punished with a cane in public, and a woman had to suffer such a shame before she died, not only was her grandfather's family infamous from now on, but even she herself was afraid that she would be laughed at by others. She bit the back of her hand tightly and asked for a long time: "Is my aunt beaten to death by them in front of so many people in front of people?" β
Xiao Ju nodded, remembering the miserable scene when the daughter-in-law told her, and said in a trembling voice: "Listening to them, my aunt and grandmother were beaten less than twenty times, and they began to shout that their stomachs hurt, and then they saw that the blood was oozing out from under the aunt's body, but those officials still didn't stop hitting the board on the aunt and grandmother for a moment, and the blood flowed more and more, and the aunt's cry became weaker and weaker. There was a big pool of bright red blood on the ground, all of which was shed by my aunt and grandmotherβ"
"Don't say it, don't say it, don't say it, I don't want to listen, I don't want to know anymore!" Yifei suddenly shouted loudly: "Get out, you all let me out!" She pushed the two maids out of the door, closed the door with a "bang", reflexively threw herself on the kang, buried her head in the quilt and cried loudly.
She is not only crying for the death of her own mother, but also crying for herself. In the next few days, she hid in the room all day long, not daring to go out, but her heart became more and more panicked, and from time to time she remembered the words of the old lady that day, "With such an incorruptible biological mother, I still want to marry into Dingxi Houfu smoothly and beautifully?" β
Since the king of Linchuan shouted on the street, saying that she was in love with Anshun Boshizi, Mrs. Dingxi Houtai was indeed suspicious of her family business, thanks to her godmother, Mrs. Zuo Xiang, who helped her say a lot of good things from it, so she kept this family business. Now, her biological mother has made such a scandal again, if it reaches the ears of Mrs. Dingxi Houtai, then this family affair ......
At this time, she missed her biological mother more and more, although her biological mother was just a concubine aunt, but the heart that loved her was not fake, it was really the love that held her in the palm of her hand, and she was always thinking about how to plan for her and her brother, so that she could live more proudly in this mansion.
If her mother was still there, she would have helped her come up with an idea and find a way at this time, but now that her own mother is gone, she was still beaten to death by the official with such an extremely undignified criminal law.
Fortunately, she still has a godmother, and her godmother didn't ignore her, as early as that night, she ordered someone to send her a letter saying that she should stay at home these days to avoid the limelight, and don't rush to the prime minister's mansion first.
So Yifei had to hide in her room and wait, worshipping the Buddha, the Bodhisattva, the Jade Emperor, and the Taishang Laojun in her heart tens of thousands of times a day.
But things in this world, often the more you are afraid of something, the more you come, seven days later, Mrs. Zuo Xiang came to the door in person and told Mrs. Luo that Mrs. Dingxi Houfu wanted to divorce Zhao Yifei, the fifth girl from Bofu.
"Yesterday, Mrs. Dingxi Houtai came to my house and told me, she said that no matter what, the Liu family is always the biological mother of Sister Fei, although she was abandoned, she always had to keep a year of filial piety for her.
Mrs. Zuo Xiang said with a regretful face, she really felt sorry for the fact that this family business was not done, not because she was Yifei's godmother, but because she used a family business to win over Dingxi Hou, who held military power, was what her family father told her to do.
Cui Chenggang, the left prime minister, tried all kinds of methods before and failed to install his own people around Dingxihou, so he hit this idea to his back house, but this Dingxihou was not close to women, and all the beauties sent by him were rewarded by him to his soldiers. He knew that Ding Xihou was extremely cautious, and if he wanted to use a girl who had a relationship with him to marry him, he was afraid that most of them would be rejected by him, so he asked his wife Sun Ke to find another "suitable" young lady and said that given Xihou to be the wife of the continuation.
Such a "suitable" young lady is not easy to find, Sun Kexin also took a lot of effort to fall in love with Yifei, her background is not high, but her ambition is not small, although she has a big heart and is a little smart, but in fact, she is a simple-minded and easy to handle, and she is born beautiful like a flower, which should be very suitable for a man's appetite. If there is such a beauty blowing the pillow wind beside Dingxi Hou, I am afraid that I will not be able to win over this Hou Ye who holds military power and guards the border passes?
How do you know that she tried her best, and it was easy to say that Mrs. Xihou agreed to this family business, and then there were many accidents, first the king of Linchuan made a fuss, and almost messed up this family business. followed Yifei's biological mother and also ran out to pull her hind legs, causing such a big scandal, half of the people in the capital knew about it, which family would dare to ask such a daughter born by her own mother to be a daughter-in-law again?
Therefore, this time Mrs. Dingxi Houtai came to tell her about the divorce again, Sun Kexin couldn't say a word of persuasion, but she scolded the Liu family in her heart for not worrying, and she didn't say anything about her indiscriminate death, and she chose to die at this juncture, not only did she give her life away, but also caused her daughter to lose such a good family matter.
Mrs. Luo also regretted that Yifei was divorced. Although she doesn't like Yifei, Yifei is also her own granddaughter in the end, and if she can marry into Dingxi Houfu, it will always be of some benefit to their granddaughters. But now, there is such an ugly thing as the Liu family, and it is a matter of course that people will come to withdraw from the marriage, and such a biological mother has been withdrawn from the marriage again, I am afraid that it will be difficult for Sister Fei to marry in this capital in the future.
Why are these juniors marrying each other, but whenever the eldest lord marries his daughter-in-law, his wife is peaceful and smooth sailing, but when it comes to their side of the branch, it is all kinds of unpleasant, so whether the Liu family really did it with a woman, or is she actually framed by someone, in order to ruin Yifei's good family business.
So as soon as she sent Mrs. Zuo Xiang away, Mrs. Tai told Cai Wei about this layer of doubt in her heart, "Wei girl, tell me, this time in the matter of the Liu family, will there be any moves on the side of the big house?" β
Cai Wei has also been thinking about this for the past few days, so she said: "Back to my grandmother, Wei'er has been thinking about it for a few days, and I feel that if the Liu family is manipulated and deliberately framed, it will really kill three birds with one stone. β
"Three birds with one stone?" Could it be that in addition to wanting to ruin Yifei's family business, what other evil intentions does her "eldest son" have?
"Wei'er is just guessing, Aunt Liu, who went back to the big house, had a miscarriage, although it was later found out that it was done by the eldest wife, but I am afraid that it will not be able to get rid of the Liu family, the eldest lady must understand, and the eldest master is afraid that he also knows. Therefore, let the Liu family come up with the crime of a chaotic woman, not only can she kill her to avenge Aunt Liu's lost fetus, but also ruin Yifei's family affairs, and even more angry with the fourth uncle. β
This is the means of these men, if they don't make a move, once they make a move, it is not like a woman, they will kill each other's children with some saffron, peach kernels, etc., and the enemy will be locked up in the Buddhist hall and grounded, but directly take her life, it is not enough, and she wants to take the life of the fourth master again, and then take her daughter's family affairs.
Since the four masters learned that Aunt Liu died tragically in the official office, the illness on her body has become a little worse.
Mrs. Tai slapped her palm on the armrest and said: "That evil obstacle is really vicious, he is afraid that it is best to kill the fourth child at once, so that his son Yijun can attack the lord!" Thanks to what you reminded me last time, since the fifth child was suddenly ill, I have paid more attention to the fourth child's body, and has been giving him a good life and recuperation. Although I am still sick, as long as I take good care of myself, it is not a big deal. β
It turned out that after the fifth master was in the prime of life but died of illness, Cai Wei persuaded Mrs. Tai, saying that she only had this one son left, so she might as well be kind to the fourth master, and stop always talking coldly and ignoring this son like before.
It was this sentence that reminded Mrs. Tai that she only had this one son left, if this son was gone, then this Anyuan Bofu would fall into the hands of the big house, so she hurriedly called Aunt He, and repeatedly ordered her to blindly empty the body of the fourth master, and specially invited the imperial doctor to diagnose the pulse of the fourth master, and gave him medicine every day to recuperate, and Pei Yuan solidified his foundation. Therefore, this time I was hit like this, and I didn't get angry and half dead all of a sudden, although I was sick in the end, it didn't hurt the roots.
"Now the uncle's illness is not a matter of concern for the time being, and fortunately he is not angry to come out with three long and two short, otherwise Sister Hui will marry her cousin next month, if there is another funeral in the house, Sister Hui'er's family affairs will have to wait another year. Wei girl, you are thoughtful, you have to go to your second uncle's alma mater these days to see, Sister Fei'er's family affairs have been ruined, don't let your cousin Hui's family affairs have any mistakes! β
