Mrs. Chen was stunned, she cried pitifully in the past, coupled with the family offensive, not to mention Chen Xiucai, even in the entire Chen family's backyard, she was invincible.

What I never expected was that Chen Xiucai would leave with his sleeves brushed away.

Old Mrs. Chen's face became more and more gray.

The corners of Chen Xuejiao's mouth hooked up a sneer, and she looked at everyone in the room with cold eyes. Chen Zifu and Cai knew that Chen Xiucai was right about this, but they also showed a shocked expression, and took 10,000 steps back to say, Mrs. Chen was just tried in court to prove her innocence, and it did not have much impact on her children, daughters and grandchildren, the difficulty is that Mrs. Chen herself is the mastermind in this incident, although it was instigated by He Xiangu, but if you don't have that heart, no one can instigate it, I'm afraid that after the court, you will be convicted of framing her grandson, and where can you get out.

Zhang's expression was not about herself, and yesterday the old lady Chen took a bad breath of anger at her, saying that if she passed on her son to Wen Yan, there would be no such thing. Originally, in order to comfort Zhang, Mrs. Chen rarely let go, saying that she saw Layueli this time, and asked Zhang to take her three sons to Xuzhou Mansion to reunite with Chen Zigui. At this time, she hoped that Mrs. Chen would go to the church, and she could also take the opportunity to go to Xuzhou Mansion while there was a mess in the upper room.

In the room, the most shocked person was Old Man Chen. After a conversation in the morning, Old Man Chen already knew that the final outcome could not be changed, but he still wanted to make one last effort.

He almost had a begging attitude, but the eldest son, whom he had always held in his hands, finally disappointed him.

Chen Xuejiao didn't care what everyone in the room thought. Now that this matter is a foregone conclusion, there is no need to discuss it.

Li, Chen Xuejiao and Chen Qi'an glanced at each other, and the three of them stood up. Chen Qiping was sitting next to Old Man Chen, so he jumped out of bed and ran all the way behind Chen Xuejiao.

"The eldest daughter-in-law." When Chen Xuejiao and the others walked to the door, Old Man Chen suddenly spoke, Chen Xuejiao and the others turned around and saw Old Man Chen's brows tightly locked, and his lips trembled. After a long time, he raised his hand weakly, "You guys go back first...... Sue sù boss. We're still a family, when your mother comes to the church...... Let's see if you can take care of it......"

"We can't afford to lose this person......" Old Man Chen's voice was inaudible.

Mrs. Chen sat down on the ground with a bang.

Chen Xuejiao, Li Shi, Chen Qi'an, and Chen Qiping walked out of the upper room without looking back.

The sun had risen high, the snow was beginning to melt, and there was a chill in the air. Take a deep breath. The heart is full of cold.

There was a heart-rending cry from the upper house: "Wang Ba calf...... I have no conscience, I have fed all the food to the dog, and he can't wait for me to be in prison to be happy...... He's read all the books in the dog's belly, if I were his own mother, he can do this, Wang Ba calf, black-hearted ......"

If you were his own mother, you would be able to poison and curse your grandson.

……

Don't talk about Maoshan Village. It is the entire Baitu Town, and there has not been a single case for many years. The local people have always been simple, even if there is a case, it is just a chicken and a dog, stealing chickens and touching dogs, this one stole a chicken or that one is missing a duck, the parties are fighting each other and scolding the street, and then there is a dispute between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, or a scolding between brothers fighting for houses and fields, this is not a case, there is no need to report to the official, directly by the village and the patriarch, and it is clear in a few words, the punishment that should be punished, the punishment that should be punished, the punishment that should be punished, the punishment that should be played on the board, and the compensation that should not be compensated is not.

When this case was reported, it was poisoned and killed, but there were no dead people.

Xuzhou Fuyi took over the case, originally he wanted to use Chen Xiucai to catch up with Governor Xu, Chen Xiucai left, and immediately began to interrogate He Xiangu, that He Xiangu is just a village goddess, her mouth is sharp and daring, and when she really arrived at the Yamen, she was so frightened that her legs were weak, and she couldn't speak clearly, but she didn't forget to blame all the faults on Mrs. Chen.

There is a lot of bad water in her stomach, where is this thing, what the god usually heals and jumps to give people to eat is just a rune paper water, although it can't cure people's diseases, where can you eat the dead, the rune water is mixed with pot ash or women's essence and blood, and there are some stomachaches when you drink it, and there are some diarrhea that Yan zhòng, and there are not many people who have lost their lives.

Only at this time did He Xiangu regret it, regretting carving a wooden figure for Mrs. Chen, and instigating her to cast a curse.

He Xiangu didn't think of instigating Mrs. Chen to curse, but when she saw Mrs. Chen open the box and take out five taels of silver at once, her eyes were straight and her heart was crooked, plus she had always wanted to be close to Li's set, she walked the streets and alleys, how did she not know that the Chen family's big house had made a fortune, if she could climb up to Li's family, she would casually reveal a little silver from her hand, which would be enough for her own chewing, how could she be interrupted by Chen Xuejiao every time she talked with Li's family, and she had a sense of anger in her heart.

After a trial, He Xiangu was immediately put into the women's prison, and He Xiangu's hands and feet were weak in fright, but she didn't forget to cry out for injustice.

Fu Yi touched his beard, before Chen Xiucai brought He Xiangu to report the case, and did not say who this woman instigated to curse, he also thought that the peasant family had a lot of affairs, so he set a curse for the sake of small profits, and after a while, Chen Xiucai's stepmother was suddenly involved.

"That poisonous woman, who doesn't know in our entire Baitu Town, is the most jealous, withholding her stepson's rations, abusing her stepson's wife, she originally wanted to poison her eldest grandson, but I stopped her, I said it was better to carve a small wooden man. The county lord also knows that the wooden people are all playing, where can they curse the dead. If that's the case, then the two countries don't need guns to go to war, and they can just stick to the wood. ”

Fu Yi frowned, still thinking about whether this case should be private, although the poisonous woman in the countryside is in the name of her stepmother, but in the end, it is Chen Xiucai's mother, if it passes the court, Chen Xiucai will lose face, and in the future, he will ask him to connect with Governor Xu, I am afraid he will refuse.

Fu Yi patted the startling wood and warned He Xiangu not to climb indiscriminately.

The master beside him glanced at He Xiangu, and everyone retreated and put her in prison. Awaiting retrial.

Then he frowned.

"What does the master have to say?" Fu Yi straightened the black gauze hat on his head, and he was about to retreat, so he quickly stopped.

"Don't dare. Master, according to Xiao's opinion, this Chen Xiucai sent He Xiangu to the Yamen, he must know the trick here, he can sue his stepmother, so he has to sue He Xiangu first. The master touched his beard, "Let's not say whether this stepmother is guilty or not." Let's talk about it after the hall first. ”

Na Fu Yi looked at it for a moment, and then figured out all the tricks inside.

"Don't hesitate, hurry up and go to Maoshan Village, Baitu Town, to bring that Chen Pozi up." Fu Yi instructed the officials.

Maoshan Village is such a big village. Suddenly, two officials came, not only Maoshan Village, but also the surrounding villages were alarmed, and saw that the official messenger went to Chen's house. Everyone thought that something happened to Chen Zichang in Xuzhou Mansion. As soon as they heard that the insider said that they were here to get Mrs. Chen, everyone understood the twists and turns in it, and they talked about it in front of the officials: "She is so vicious, which village and town does not have a stepmother, but she thinks about murdering the big house all day long." ”

Mrs. Chen didn't want to eat tea or drink in the past two days, she cried and cried, begged and begged, but the big house never let go. Her temper came up. began to sit at the door again as before, scolding the big house and the family for having no conscience.

When the official messenger entered the door, Mrs. Chen was stalking her neck and shouting at the door of the big room: "...... Aren't you just going to see an official? I'm innocent. Not to mention that I arrived in Xuzhou Mansion, even when I arrived in Beijing, the official office didn't dare to touch me. ”

In addition to this sentence, the vicious curses in front of Mrs. Chen did not pull down the ears of the officials, seeing that she scolded the big house family not in a good way, only a little girl stood at the door and quarreled with her, she only felt that her heart was too poisonous, and the official arched her hand towards Mrs. Chen: "Since the old lady is innocent, come with us." ”

Where has Mrs. Chen seen this battle, she can't lift it in one breath, and she will faint to death on the spot.

Chen Xiucai also came out at this time, changed into the clothes of an official, and invited the official into the north wing. Li, Xueru, and Jing Hao saw the official errand and avoided them one by one in the inner room. There were only Chen Xuejiao, Chen Qi'an and Chen Qiping in the outhouse, Chen Xuejiao ordered a stone to boil a pot of boiling water, and personally soaked it for the official.

The official messenger received such an errand, all the way from Xuzhou Mansion, the weather was so cold, the shoes and socks were wet with snow water, and he was depressed and angry, and drank the hot tea and cakes offered by Chen Xuejiao, and his heart was much more comfortable.

Chen Xiucai said some more words with the official, drank a few cups of tea, hired two cars from the town, and everyone went on the road.

Mrs. Chen's face was discouraged, and people from all over the country came to watch, pointing fingers, and she wanted to die. Old man Chen personally accompanied his wife to the car, and in this case, Chen Qi'an was also the sufferer, so he also got into the car, and Chen Xiucai and the official got into the car in front.

Chen Xuejiao also wanted to follow, she didn't want to go to Xuzhou Mansion for this case, she wanted to go to Xuzhou Mansion to shop, and under the New Year's Festival, it was time to prepare some New Year's goods and new clothes.

But was stopped by Li: "So many people know that there is a case in our family, if you go with it, people will think that you are involved and want to go to the court, and you are a little girl's family after the court, how can you say kiss." ”

After thinking about it for a while, seeing that Chen Xuejiao had been depressed at home for too long all winter, she said with a smile: "You took the silver and went to the town for a walk, I heard your aunt Han say that the shop in the town has new southern materials, why don't you go and have a look." ”

Chen Xuejiao smiled and said, "It's not too late to go another day." ”

……

It wasn't until the evening of the next day that Chen Xiucai and others came back from Xuzhou Mansion.

Chen Xuejiao stood at the door, copied her bib, and stretched her neck to look.

Chen Xiucai got out of the carriage first, followed by Chen Qi'an and got out of the carriage, and then Old Man Chen, Mrs. Chen got out of the carriage last, her face was white and bloodless, trembling and holding Old Man Chen's shoulders, as soon as she landed, the soles of her feet staggered, and she almost fell. Chen Xiucai, who was beside him, hurriedly went to help, but was gently pushed away by Mrs. Chen.

"Mother!" Wen Yan ran up crying.

Wen Yan knew that Mrs. Chen had gone to the official office, and despite the in-laws' resistance, she rushed to Chen's house early in the morning. first went to the big room to cry, but Chen Xuejiao resisted the door and grabbed a few words.

Old Mrs. Chen looked dumbfounded, her eyes were scattered, and she didn't have the heart to Li Wenchang at all.

Chen Xuejiao shouted through the window: "Dad and brother are back!" Lifting his skirt, he walked quickly through the snow and ran towards the door: "Dad, brother, I'm back!"

Li walked out of the house with Xueru, Qi Ping, and Jinghao, carrying two thick jackets in their hands, one draped over her husband and one on her son.

Old Lady Chen's lips moved slightly, and she walked towards the upper room without saying a word.

Chen Zifu, Cai, and Zhang hurriedly came to the door, and Mrs. Chen didn't look at them, she lowered her head and walked straight, and suddenly stopped at the door of the north wing. At this time, Chen Xuejiao's family had already walked into the courtyard, Mrs. Chen turned her head, her gloomy gaze swept over the faces of Chen Xuejiao and others, and suddenly flashed, there was viciousness, fear, and confusion in her eyes, and then it darkened again, twisted her body and strode to the upper room.

Chen Xuejiao's family immediately went to the upper room.

Everyone sat around and talked about Mrs. Chen's passage to the hall.

After Chen Qi'an's description, Chen Xuejiao originally understood a rough idea.

First of all, He Xiangu was tried, and He Xiangu put all the faults on Mrs. Chen, and told Mrs. Chen how she hated Dafang and how she harmed Chen Qi'an.

Mrs. Chen was weak first, and after listening to He Xiangu's testimony, she was about to rush over and say that she was torn apart, but she was dragged by the female servants beside her. Old Mrs. Chen defended in a trembling voice, pushed all the faults on He Xiangu's head, and cried out of her difficulties as a stepmother with a handful of snot and tears, and before she could finish speaking, a few rotten vegetable leaves had been thrown into the door.

In the end, Fu Yi was sentenced, and He Xiangu was convicted of bewitchment and beaten with thirty boards. Mrs. Chen was guilty of the crime, but her stepson was unwilling to pursue the matter and was released on the spot.

Before Mrs. Chen was released, she witnessed He Xiangu being beaten by the officials for 30 years, first shouting loudly, and then only inhaling but not exhaling, from the thighs to the waist, blood was dripping.

Mrs. Chen fainted on the spot.

"I'm afraid that this time, the old lady will stop for a while, at least she won't be thinking about harming us." Chen Xuejiao said with a smile.

But no, after this catastrophe, Mrs. Chen's whole person lost her spirit. However, Chen Xuejiao believes that her combat effectiveness will recover in a few days, but she is afraid that her combat effectiveness in the future will not dare to fire at the Dafang family casually.

Originally, the main crime was with Mrs. Chen, but Dafang never thought of letting Mrs. Chen be caned or convicted, after all, she was Chen Xiucai's nominal mother, if she was really convicted, public opinion would be reversed, and Dafang's justification would become unreasonable.

Therefore, Chen Xiucai secretly made a point, only let her pass the hall, and saw with her own eyes the skin and flesh behind He Xiangu's staff, which was enough for her to be afraid of the big house.

And this is exactly the purpose of Chen Xuejiao's family. (To be continued......)
