Twentieth round

When everyone looked back, they saw that it was none other than the fifth old man and his wife.

It turned out that the fourth master, in order to be afraid of extraneous branches, had covered the matter tightly from the beginning, and strictly ordered all the people around him who knew about it not to show the slightest rumor to go out, and he also repeatedly pleaded with the patriarch. His Aunt Liu is very good at picking the time, these two days happened to be the death of the fifth wife's sister-in-law, she had to go home to help Zhang Luo, the fifth master is also very busy with official business these days, leaving early and returning late every day.

Unexpectedly, he and his wife came back together at this time, could it be that they had already received some letters?

Before the fourth master could think about it, the fourth wife, who had been standing there before, suddenly seemed to be awakened by something, and rushed towards the fifth wife, grabbed the sleeve of her dress tightly, as if holding a life-saving straw, and cried loudly: "Fifth aunt, you have to make the decision for me!" Our master insisted on forcing me to record the ammonium brother and sister Fei born to Aunt Liu in my name and raise them as sisters-in-law, didn't this kill me? Woowoo woo ......"

The fourth old man never imagined that the fourth wife, who had been like a piece of wood and didn't dare to let go of a fart before, immediately howled at him when she saw the fifth old man and his wife, and her face was suddenly a little unbearable. "Don't listen to this woman's nonsense, she's mad, and she's full of gibberish." He looked at the maids and shouted, "What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you help the fourth lady back to the room quickly, so as not to be embarrassed here again." ”

But I didn't want the four wives to come to the rescue as Cai Wei expected, and all the temperament that had been leaked before came back, and shouted loudly: "I'm not crazy, I'm not crazy!" If any of you dare to touch me, I'll be killed here! ”

The fifth lady hurriedly took her in her arms and comforted her softly, and the fifth master said: "Dare to ask the fourth brother, I invited the patriarch cousin here today, but in order to do this thing of changing the name of the concubine?" According to the younger brother's humble opinion, since the fourth sister-in-law is so reluctant, I am afraid that there is something wrong with this matter. ”

"This-" The fourth master couldn't answer, although he was the elder, but since he was a child, he was not as good as his younger brother, so he became an uncle at this time, but every time he faced the fifth master, he was still a little lacking in confidence.

However, the fourth old man was afraid of him, but the eldest master was not afraid, so he replied for his fourth brother: "The fourth brother is now close to the year of the mandate of heaven, but there is still no son-in-law under his knees, only a son of Brother Ammonium, so I want to record him in the name of the fourth brother and sister." The fourth brother and sister were also willing to do this, and even the paperwork was signed, but they didn't want to shout a few words when they saw the fifth brother, no wonder the fourth brother was angry for a while, so she said that she was crazy. ”

The eldest master's words were really leaky, and the fifth master here hadn't figured out how to respond, but the fourth lady over there was awakened by these words, and suddenly rushed towards the fourth master like a rabbit, and snatched the paper document in his hand.

The fourth old man might as well have it, the Chinese book in his hand was really snatched by the fourth wife, and then it was torn to pieces, so he heard her mouth shout: "What do you mean I am willing, I have never been willing!" Where did I sign this Rausch paperwork myself, and it was obviously the ones that he dragged me to handwriteβ€”"

Listening to the sound of "pop", the rest of Mrs. Four's words were ended by a loud slap from her husband.

"You slut, you can't give birth to a son by yourself, and you embarrass my lord, and you dare to snatch something from me? I sue you, whether you want to or not, my lord, I will definitely remember Brother Ammonium as a son-in-law! ”

The fourth wife covered her face, just looked at the fourth master like that, she has been a husband and wife with this person for more than ten years, and the fourth master was indifferent to her, but he never beat her. Since beating him as an uncle, this is the second time that the fourth master has beaten her, or in front of so many people, she has been slapped in the face like this in front of people, what else is there to worry about?

So the fourth wife didn't want to think about it, so she said, "I can't give birth to a son?" The old man only drills into Aunt Liu's room every day, but how can I give birth to a son by myself? Not long after we got married, I was also pregnant with a brother, why did my brother fall, your baby Aunt Liu knows best, she was harmed by your good son Brother Ammonium. You want me to admit the black-hearted embryo who killed my son as a son, don't you think! I'm going to put this here today, and if you push me again, I won't be able to make you want even if I die!" ”

"You! You're really against you! The fourth master was so angry that he jumped to his feet, he had never dared to talk to him like this since this woman married him, "You, you jealous woman, as a woman married to her husband, if you dare not listen to the lord and me, I will, I will divorce you!" ”

When the fourth wife heard this word, she couldn't help but be stunned.

The fifth master hurriedly said: "Fourth brother said carefully, this divorce is not a child's play, we must not divorce our wives for no reason!" ”

After receiving this reminder from the fifth master, the fourth wife remembered what Yizhi had repeatedly told her in the past two days, and said as if she had endorsed it: "The master wants to divorce me?" I dare to ask my master, which of the 'seven outs' did I commit? And this divorce is not something that the old man said alone, but the old lady has ever asked the old lady? If the old man really gives me a letter of resignation, I won't go to the old lady to cry, I will go directly to the Shuntian Mansion and ask the government Yin to redress my grievances! ”

"You-" The fourth old man was so angry that he couldn't remember what the seven were all over, so he blushed and said, "If you don't obey your husband's orders, why can't I leave you?" Even if you sue in front of Fu Yin, I am also the reason! ”

"Don't obey your husband? I have a clear law in the King James Dynasty, and it is not allowed to mess with the concubine, but the lord wants to do this illegal thing, so I dare not obey the order, we might as well ask the master of the palace to judge whether I should obey the husband's order or obey the emperor's order? ”

"This-" The fourth master was a little speechless for a while, and it took a long time to hold back a sentence, "Although it is written in the law, but now that there are more people who are in charge of concubines, they don't even care about the government." ”

"The government doesn't care, that's because most of the concubines who are recorded as concubines are concubines, and if they are married, they are people from other people's families, and they will not mess up the inheritance of the clan lineage, and it is not as good as the eldest son of this concubine to be recorded as a concubine. Your precious ammonium brother is the eldest son, and I probably won't be able to have a son-in-law, and when I reach the age of fifty, he will naturally be able to grow up according to the law, so why should the lord force me here now! ”

The eldest lord knew that he was afraid that he would not be able to do it, so he glanced at the fourth master, but the fourth master felt that he had been greatly hurt by the fourth wife today as a husband, and he must find some ground, and he was still there with his neck and said: "Since you must take the law and say things, and refuse to recognize Brother Ammonium, what about Sister Fei?" You also said that many of these concubines have been recorded in the name of their mother-in-law. Since you don't want to recognize Brother Ammonium, then put Sister Fei in your name, right? ”

I didn't want the fourth wife to think about it, so I replied: "The master still rests this heart, as long as it is born by Aunt Liu, I will not record any of it!" ”

The fourth old man was so angry that he roared: "It's really against you, since you said that it is not hindering you to record the concubine as a concubine, why do you still refuse to obey your husband's orders?" Don't forget, you yourself are just a concubine born to an aunt, if it weren't for your mother-in-law's kindness to keep you in your name, where would you get so much dowry when you got married? ”

"Dowry?" Thanks to the fourth master, she still has the face to raise the dowry with her, her mother-in-law, who died when she got married, left her a dowry of five thousand taels of silver, and her brother-in-law added her a dowry of three thousand taels of silver, but now most of her dowry has been taken by the fourth master to his Aunt Liu. I heard that the fourth master was still there and continued to criticize her, "Look at how tolerant and generous your mother is, virtuous and benevolent, since you have been raised by her side since childhood, why didn't you learn a little generosity and kindness from her?" ”

This remark choked the fourth lady and almost spit out a mouthful of blood. In the past two days, Yizhi and Cai Wei have already imagined all kinds of rhetoric that the fourth master can say, and they have thought of various ways to deal with it with the fourth wife. I didn't think that the fourth wife was so angry, how could I think about the statement discussed at that time, and said angrily: "The master also said that although I am a concubine, I have been raised by my mother-in-law since I was a child." My aunt is a well-known woman, she serves her mother diligently and carefully, and she never dares to be disrespectful, and the children she gives birth to are also kept by the rules and handed over to the mother to raise as soon as the moon is full. My brother and I respect our grandmother even more like a mother, morning and dusk, never dare to slack off, very filial, and it is precisely because my grandmother sees the two of us and respects her that I am recorded in my name, and orders our brother to treat our brother and sister well. ”

"But what about Sister Fei'er, has she been raised by me for a day since she was born? Her mother is the person on the tip of the lord's heart, and she is more decent than me, the head wife, in our four-room courtyard, not to mention that her mother has never been to me, the main mother, to set rules and serve me, even Sister Fei has never treated me as her serious mother in her heart. She and Brother Ammonium, how many days in a year can they do it in the morning and dusk every day? Even if you want to be kind and generous as a mother, you have to respect your elders for your children, such a sister who treats me neither respectfully nor filially, what should I do to recognize her as my daughter? ”

The fourth wife's words are reasonable, so that the eldest wife and the fifth wife can't help but be a little impressed by this concubine who has always been like a wilted vegetable melon, it seems that if this is really forced to a desperate situation, even a noodle person can also spew out a few breaths of fire, and the rabbit knows how to bite when he is in a hurry!

"You, you, you! You're all quibbling, you're just jealous that I hurt Aunt Liu a little more, so you're messing around here. If you don't obey your husband's orders and talk nonsense here like this, my lord, I will give you a letter of resignation, you are guilty of jealousy, and you have too many words, and you have such a vicious disease as madness, see that I will not stop you shrew! "The fourth master suddenly remembered the name of the three seven outs.

The fourth wife is becoming more and more courageous at this time, and the words that have been held in her heart for more than ten years are now leaking out, not to mention how happy she is in her heart. At this time, when I heard that the fourth master was going to scare her with a letter of resignation, she was completely unafraid.

"I've been weak and wronged for more than ten years, and now I just want to straighten my waist a little bit, and I was called a shrew by the master, so I'll just sprinkle it to the master today! If the lord divorces me and makes me faceless, I will never live again, and I will immediately die in this mansion, before my sister married the lord, but I was angry with you in four years, and now I will take my life, and wait for my brother to return to Beijing to see if he will theorize for his two sisters and go to Shuntian Mansion to seek justice? ”

"It's the lord who relied on the prestige of the uncle, so that my brother couldn't get any justice, so he made a fuss and spread it, and also let everyone in Beijing know that he knew about the majestic deeds that the uncle had done, spoiled the concubine and killed his wife, and just attacked the title, in order to force the wife to name the son of the concubine, he insisted on divorce his wife, and forced the wife to commit suicide. When the time comes, you might as well shake these out and see who has no face? "Isn't it just crying, making trouble, and hanging yourself, as long as you can get out, who wouldn't?

"This-" The fourth master is no matter how angry and corrupt he is, no matter how stupid he is, and he understands that if this really causes another life, it will ruin his reputation, but I am afraid that his newly acquired title will be a little unstable. It's just that if he is allowed to soften now, he can't lower his head and swallow this breath, and what is even more annoying is that none of the people in the circle around him have spoken out and given him a step to go down.

The fourth master was riding a tiger here, so he heard a voice say, "Ouch, what's wrong?" "If you want to know who is coming, let's see the next breakdown.
