Until late at night, the lights in the upper room were still on, and occasionally Chen Xuemiao's crying, Mrs. Chen's cursing, Old Man Chen's roar, Zhao's justification, and Li's and Cai's persuasion were heard.

Chen Xuejiao returned to the north wing, took off her clothes and got into the quilt, Xue Ru and Jing Hao lay down early, needless to say, everyone knew what happened to Xue Miao.

The three of them couldn't sleep because of the noise of various voices in the upper room, and it was not good to discuss Xue Miao's affairs, and they were ashamed to say this kind of thing.

Gradually, the sound of going to the room became quieter, presumably because Mr. Chen was afraid that the noisy sound at night would spread outside, so he deliberately closed the doors and windows. In fact, no one cares even if it spreads, after all, Old Man Chen and Old Mrs. Chen quarreled not once or twice in the middle of the night, and the neighbors outside were used to it.

“…… What kind of punishment will Xue Miao receive? In the dark, Chen Xuejiao said.

"Who knows, this matter is not our responsibility, she should bear the consequences if she does such a shameless thing." Xue Ru rolled over and said indifferently.

"I don't think that merchant is a good person, if he really likes Chen Xuemiao, he shouldn't come in over the wall and ruin Xuemiao's reputation." Jing, who didn't speak for a long time, saw blood for a while, and pointed out that the merchant was wrong.

Chen Xuejiao nodded in the dark, she didn't sympathize with Chen Xuemiao at all, all her mistakes were self-inflicted, and she couldn't blame others. However, compared with Chen Xuemiao, the merchant is more hateful. If he likes Xue Miao, he should find a matchmaker and come to the door to propose marriage, although with his family background, he will be beaten out by the Zhao family, but it is much better than going over the wall to come in privately.

Fang was in the house. Xue Miao snorted and tears to tell the feelings of the two people, and the merchant tried his best to deny that it was Xue Miao who seduced her with a wave of his hand. Whatever the purpose, he saved Xue Miao's life. It's normal for Xue Miao to have a different mind about him. It is not impossible for Xue Miao to break this thought for a long time, and the two of them are not non-Qing and do not marry non-king, and the merchant does not come to make a commotion so that she can't give birth to the side of the mind, and the matter fades after a few days, but the merchant not only does not do that, but also carries the burden to the door of Chen's house to sell rouge head oil, and later he actually came over the wall to have a private meeting with Xue Miao. It's really uneasy and kind.

The three Chen Xuejiao sisters talked for a while, and the sleepiness gradually came, so they gathered the quilt to sleep.

Suddenly. The door to the upper room creaked open, followed by a cacophony of noises, footsteps, and whispers in the courtyard.

Chen Xuejiao woke up suddenly, leaned out, and peeked out of the window. The moonlight was obscured by dark clouds. I'm afraid it's going to rain, and the yard is dark and rumbling, and I can see a few figures in the haze, but I can't see the faces clearly.

At this moment, I heard the door of the north wing open.

"Did you sleep?" Lee walked in.

"Mother." Chen Xuejiao and Chen Xueru sat up in the dark.

Jing Hao took out a candle from the head of the bed and lit it, the room lit up, and Chen Xuejiao's eyes couldn't be opened.

"Get up, all of you, and come with me to the room." Under candlelight. Li stood at the head of the bed with a tired face.

Chen Xuejiao, Chen Xueru, and Jing Hao glanced at each other and began to get dressed.

Lee sat on the bed. Holding her head, although suppressed, Xue Jiao could clearly see the angry look on Li's face.

The big room and the second room now only have hatred and no love, although Xue Miao is the daughter of the second room, but the Li family not only can't fall into the ground, but also helps to conceal this matter. It's not just Lee who wants to do this, but Cai and Chang have to do it. Xue Miao made such a fuss, not only would she ruin herself, but also the daughters of the Chen family, the Li family has two daughters, you can imagine how deep her anger is.

Who made the fame of this era prevail? Not to mention anything else, let's just say that Lan Niang in the embroidery workshop was reconciled with her husband's family at the beginning, and when she returned to her mother's house, she was subject to restrictions everywhere, not because there was a divorced girl in the family, which would have an impact on the marriage of sisters and nieces. Lan Niang's niece is seventeen years old this year, and she has not talked about the right in-law, which is certainly related to Lan Niang's sister-in-law's lonely abduction, but part of the reason is indeed because of Lan Niang's divorce.

The world is so unfair to women, but there is no way to do it, who let you be born in such an era, you can only adapt to the rules of the times, not to challenge.

"Mother, do you want to drink a cup of hot tea first." Chen Xuejiao put on her clothes and leaned over Li's shoulder and asked.

"Mother is not thirsty." Li shook his head.

"How's it going?" Chen Xuejiao asked.

Li Shi was silent for a long time, glanced at Xue Jiao, and gritted his teeth: "That Wang Ba calf has been released, what can you do if you don't let it go?" Can you still report to the official and be killed? reported to the official, in case he jumped off the wall in a hurry, he would go outside with nothing to do, and then he would lose the face of the entire Chen family. ”

"So he won't be foolish if he is let go?" Chen Xuejiao asked.

“…… I didn't dare, your father just came back, and together with your father, he took the merchant to the inner room, said something, and when he came out, I saw that the merchant's face turned pale, and he kowtowed in fright......"

"Xue Miao's reaction?" Chen Xueru asked.

"How can she react? She's just a brainless. Li scolded Xue Miao for the first time, and gasped a few breaths, "She wants to go with the merchant, and I want me to say that it's better to go down with you, so as not to affect a few of your sisters." Can your second aunt be willing to give it? How high her vision is, she can't wait to find a good life for Xue Miao, not to me, not to mention that Xue Miao has such a thing, even if such a thing doesn't happen, she can't find a suitable son-in-law in your second aunt's heart. If it's good or not, go home and clean up people, just stay in Xuzhou Mansion and don't come back, whether it's a concubine or an official's wife, just don't come back. Fortunately, the merchant was arrested as a thief, if Qi An was not so vigilant in his studies, who knows what would have happened. ”

Li Shi was really angry, and said so much in one breath. She didn't know that Chen Xuejiao had already discovered the beginning and end of Chen Xuemiao and the merchant, and she only thought that Chen Qi'an found it by reading at night.

"Sister-in-law, I'm waiting for you." Chua shouted softly under the window.

Li Shi stopped talking, stood up, dressed neatly, and walked out of the north wing with Chen Xuejiao and Chen Xueru quietly.

Qi An and Qi Ping were already waiting outside.

In the middle of the night, she gave birth to a pair of good daughters, one was in a hurry to be a concubine, and the other was in a hurry to find a husband for herself...... What are you doing in the house just now, except for the merchant who said that no one will marry, and the second sister-in-law is too, if you want me to beat me hard, look at it and see if it is still so arrogant. Cai's gritted his teeth with hatred, and he didn't shy away from Xue Jiao's juniors at all.

"Tut, it would be nice if my big egg had half of Xue Miao's heart, maybe when I will get a daughter-in-law, and I will save a bride price in the future." The Zhang family has no daughters, and she thinks that this matter has no effect on her, so she doesn't scruple when she speaks.

Li and Cai glanced at her.

"You'd better not say this outside, if it gets out, which girl is willing to be your daughter-in-law?" Li put out the eldest sister-in-law's money and reprimanded Zhang's Yitong.

Chen Xuejiao and others followed the Li family, the Cai family, and the Zhang family into the upper room.

All the people in the Chen family were there, Mrs. Chen and Old Man Chen sat on the top with strict expressions, Chen Xiucai, Chen Zichang, and Chen Zifu sat on the chairs under the right hand side of Old Man Chen in turn, and Chen Qilin, Big Egg, Second Egg, and Third Egg stood on Old Man Chen's left hand side. Zhao and Chen Xuemiao knelt on the ground, both of them had tears on their faces, especially Xue Miao, whose eyes were swollen into peach, the hairpin rings on their heads were scattered, their hair was scattered, and the maid Cui'er was kneeling a foot away from Zhao's mother and daughter.

The atmosphere in the room was oppressive, no one spoke, only the slight sobs of Zhao and Xue Miao.

Old Man Chen looked around the whole room, and when he saw that everyone had arrived, he sighed invisibly.

“…… I summoned you so late because I have something to tell you. Old Man Chen took a puff of his cigarette and broke the silence.

"What happened tonight, you can't reveal half a word, if others ask, they will say that there is a thief at home." Old Man Chen's tone became stern in vain, "Whoever lets me reveal half a word out, my crutches don't recognize people." ”

Saying that, he looked at the crutches, the crutches were brought by Chen Xiucai from the south, and they were inlaid with gold and silver.

All of them don't speak.

"Did you hear that?" Old Man Chen asked sharply.

Everyone said yes.

“…… In the past few days, the second daughter-in-law, don't go out, and serve your mother at home. Old Man Chen just singled out Zhang's and ordered a few words.

Zhang's face showed an angry expression, and he was glared at by Mrs. Chen, and even claimed to be frightened.

"The second daughter-in-law." Old Man Chen looked at the Zhao family who was shaking on the ground.

"In two days, you take Xue Miao back to Xuzhou Mansion, ask Xue Yao to find someone, no matter what kind of family it is, and don't want any bride price, marry her, it is a scourge to stay in the province." Old Man Chen's tone was unfazed.

Zhao wanted to go back to Xuzhou Mansion early in the morning, but he didn't expect to go back in this way in the end.

When Chen Xuemiao heard this, she suddenly broke away from Zhao's embrace and stood up, roaring in a hoarse voice: "Except for Brother San Lang, I won't marry anyone!" ”

Brother Sanlang, just now he accused you of seducing him, and you are still obsessed. Chen Xuejiao rolled her eyes in her heart.

"I'll make you cheap, I'll make you cheap." Chen Zichang suddenly got up from his chair and walked towards Xue Miao while scolding.

With a "snap", Chen Xuemiao slapped her face.

"His father, his father," Zhao's cloak stood in front of Xue Miao.

A smile appeared on the corner of Li's, Cai's, and Zhang's mouths.

"You are a big one, a small pair of little sluts, you learned to seduce men at such a young age, exactly the same as your mother seduced me back then." Chen Zichang kicked towards Xue Miao, and was kicked by Zhao's first gear and kicked on Zhao's heart.

Zhao was exposed by Chen Zichang in public, his face was purple with shame, and he took a kick from Fang Cai, surrounded him in one breath, and fainted on the ground. (To be continued......)
