Form shì forced. No matter how reluctant and unwilling Niu was in his heart, he could only watch Zhao Wei and Zhao Xiu send the written letter of severance to him. When she lifted the pen, she only felt that the pen in her hand weighed a thousand pounds.

Mother Lu said coldly beside her: "Don't you have the strength to write?" If it doesn't matter, write it slowly, if the writing is bad, we have paper and pencils, and Brother Yuan will write another copy, presumably nothing. ”

Niu almost gritted his silver teeth, and angrily signed his name on the letter of dismemberment and left his fingerprints. After doing this, she only felt collapsed and collapsed limply in her chair.

Zhao Xiang pursed his lips tightly, simply signed quickly, pressed his finger prints, and handed the letter of severance back to Lu's mother. Lu's mother took it back to Zhao Wei, and then Zhao Wei signed, Zhao Ying and Zhao Qixuan, as clan representatives, and Imperial Doctor Jiang as witnesses, both signed.

Zhao Xiang looked at their movements, and felt unspeakably aggrieved in her heart, without the backing of the Jiannan Hou Mansion, if the matter of breaking off her family spreads again, how can she still climb a good family business? It seems that he can really only take refuge in the Jiang family. Anyway, the Jiang family is stronger than Jiannanhou Mansion, at least they are flesh and blood relatives with her, unlike Xiao Erfang, the whole family has enmity with her, but they only treat her useless brother Zhao Ze alone.

But......

Zhao Xiang secretly looked at Imperial Doctor Jiang's direction, and always felt that it was not very safe. That doctor is just a little person, forgive him and don't dare to talk nonsense outside, but Imperial Doctor Jiang is not from Jiannanhou Mansion, in case he talks nonsense outside, won't she sign this letter of severance today?

Zhao Xiang asked cautiously: "After the bookmark of breaking off relatives, will you really keep this matter a secret?" She glanced at Imperial Physician Jiang again: "No one will spread the word?" ”

Imperial Doctor Jiang was stunned. He stroked his goatee and said nothing. He was originally a person who was trusted by the king of Guangping, and even Weifu would take him with him on a private visit. It was only later that King Guangping abdicated from the East Palace, and he was recommended to the present door. When he was in distress in Jiangnan today, because he had to serve his mother at home, he took a long vacation early, and he did not accompany him, so he was naturally safe and sound. Now that he has returned to the Tai Hospital, he is also one of the most highly used Tai doctors. Now it's also because his cousin was a royal medical officer. However, before the death of the first emperor, he was recruited into the Tai Hospital, and he misunderstood the illness of the princess Zhong of Guangping, so he was specially ordered to go to the Guangping palace every three days to ask for peace for the prince. If you say that the most respected person in the hospital. He must be in the top three. The Jiannan Hou brothers and sisters were in trouble when they were young, and they were all treated by him, so they also had a good relationship with each other. That's why he's been invited today. But he definitely didn't need to obey the orders of the Jiannan Hou Mansion.

In fact. The murder of a granddaughter like Zhao Xiang is really appalling. According to his temper, this kind of unfilial granddaughter should be directly sent to the government, how can he spare her? It's just that Jiannanhou decided like this, and he is not an outsider to say much. But if he wants to make any promise, saying that he will never tell others, it is absolutely impossible.

Zhao Wei smiled slightly and did not answer Zhao Xiang's question. Zhao Xiu snorted: "What are you panicking about? What to do. Imperial Physician Jiang naturally knew it in his heart. Obviously, some people are accustomed to crooked ways and think that everyone in the world is a villain. ”

Zhao Xiang was choked. The shape shì is stronger than a human, and she can only swallow this breath. However, Zhao Xiu's words should be a promise not to leak the matter, right? Thinking that they would invite this imperial doctor to come, they must be sure that the other party will not talk nonsense. She was secretly at ease.

Only Imperial Physician Jiang glanced at Zhao Xiu and continued to remain silent. Before he came, Jiannanhou only said that he was invited to treat a patient who might have been poisoned, and did not explain anything else, let alone ask him to keep it secret. Now, the eldest girl of the Zhao family didn't say anything else, only that he knew it in his heart. Since he didn't say it explicitly, does that mean that in fact, the Jiannanhou brothers and sisters don't mind him telling others about the matter? That's right, in fact, from the beginning to the end, Jiannanhou never promised anything like that, but just asked the Niu family to explain what happened today and sign the letter of severance. When the relationship between the two families is broken, even if Zhao Xiang is sent to justice, he will have nothing to do with the Hou Mansion.

Imperial Physician Jiang was satisfied, and stroked his goatee again.

After signing the bookmark, Zhao Xiu glanced at the paperwork in his brother's hand, and suddenly said, "Just a few of us, I'm afraid it's not enough." I'm afraid that someone will still go outside and shout, saying that our Hou Mansion is forcing her to sign it. Then he invited a witness from his neighborhood. How far does the long stay be? ”

Zhao Xiang was so frightened that his face turned white: "You can't invite the chief!" Invite him, and the government will know! Could it be that this is a warning to her for asking one more word? She really didn't dare anymore!

Zhao Xiu caught a glimpse of her frightened look, ignored it, and only said to Zhao Wei: "Either ask the senior minister, or invite the elderly and respected people nearby, please come and testify." If someone says that our Hou Mansion bullies them, there are also people who defend us. ”

Zhao Wei nodded, ordered someone to invite, and said to the Niu family with a smile: "I also want to ask the virtuous ancestor to make it clear in front of the visitor, it is not the Jiannan Hou Mansion that is forced by force, but the virtuous ancestor and grandson voluntarily break off their relatives." ”

Niu wanted to vomit blood, but the Hou Mansion of Jiannan made it clear that she had no fear, if she did not agree, they would directly sue Zhao Xiang to the official mansion, and from then on she could only rely on the leftovers of the Hou Mansion's almsgiving. If she agrees, at least she can keep Zhao Xiang's cash cow, and she still has a little hope in the future. What else could she do but promise to do it? Now that people are swordsmen, she is fish and meat, so she can only swallow her anger.

She can finally understand what kind of mood the other party was when her husband and wife drove Zhang's mother and son out of the Hou Mansion back then. She only hated that she didn't do enough back then, if she was desperate enough, all the ancestors and grandchildren of the Zhang family would die, how could there be today's disaster? Even today's saints have long been in danger of dying, and what awaits them in the Zhao family's small long house will be countless glory and wealth!

Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world. She could only swallow the fishy sweetness in her throat.

The servants of the Hou Mansion quickly invited the lieutenant over, and the oldest old man in the neighborhood came with him. He had difficulty moving, so he brought his newborn grandson with him. Zhao Xiu and Zhao Xiang are daughters, and they have already taken the maid's mother-in-law to avoid the side room, except for Zhao Wei and the people on the clan side, as well as Imperial Doctor Jiang and the doctor, there are only Niu and the mother-in-law who helped her sit firmly on the chair.

Zhao Wei stepped forward and politely explained the reason to the two invited guests. In the wings. Zhao Xiu watched the movement outside through the crack in the door, and said to Zhao Xiang casually: "Today is really cheap for you." Your grandmother really loved you, and you did such a thing. She is also willing to intercede for you. ”

Zhao Xiang bit his lower lip and said stiffly: "Little aunt misunderstood, I'm ...... I really didn't get poisoned. She glanced at Pei'er cruelly: "It's all this talking nonsense!" "Look how she cleans up this girl when she turns around!

Pei'er was a little weak-footed, fell to her knees with a plop, and looked at Zhao Xiu with a pleading face.

Zhao Xiu said to Zhao Xiang: "Forget it, I will give you thirty taels of silver, even if it is a gift for your ancestors and grandchildren." Anyway, the two families broke off in the future. Our family will not pay for you anymore. If you have this money, you will take it. ”

Zhao Xiang looked at her nervously: "You...... What do you want this girl to do? "Could it be that you want to leave a witness, so that you can use it as a handle to threaten her from time to time?

Zhao Xiu guessed her thoughts. Sneered: "What do you have that deserves my threat?" Keeping her is just to find an excuse to give you money after breaking off your family. Besides, God knows if you will go around saying bad things about our family again in the future and putting gold on your face? I've got to keep a piece of evidence. Let you know the rat trap. You can rest assured. Our family doesn't have time to get along with you, as long as you are honest, don't provoke us, we don't care if your grandparents are dead or alive! ”

Zhao Xiang looked at her suspiciously, feeling apprehensive in his heart, not knowing whether to believe her words or not. Zhao Xiu didn't pay attention to it, and asked Pei'er directly: "You just said that she has an uncle coming to her?" ”

Pelle, who just learned that she had escaped the catastrophe. There was a look of joy and surprise on his face. can become the girl of the Hou Mansion, it is much stronger than following Zhao Xiang's ancestors. listened to Zhao Xiu's questioning. She hurriedly replied respectfully: "Yes, the seventh uncle of the Jiang family is a county magistrate in Liangxiang County, southwest of the capital, and sent someone to see the girl." The girl asked the mother to convey it to the seventh uncle and the seventh uncle, begging them to take her to live. After a pause, he glanced at Zhao Xiang carefully, "The mother asked, the old lady is still there, and she is sick, how can she leave her and pick up the girl alone?" The girl said that the old lady was not long in time......"

Zhao Xiang stared at Pei'er's gaze, and he couldn't wait to bite her to death. Pell shrank her head in fear and bowed her head in silence.

Zhao Xiu said to Zhao Xiang: "Since you have the heart to take refuge in your uncle's family, and Liangxiang County is not very far, I will ask my brother to send someone to send you and your grandmother to reunite with your uncle." The future has nothing to do with us. ”

Zhao Xiang's eyes widened, and his face was full of surprise: "Is this true?!" ”

"Naturally, take it seriously." Zhao Xiu smiled slightly, "I think the Jiang family will be willing to shelter you." "They have even been the daughter of a murderer for nearly ten years, and they must be willing to support their granddaughter, right? As for whether feeding a white-eyed wolf will bring any trouble to the Jiang family, it has nothing to do with the Jiannan Hou Mansion.

Zhao Xiang covered his chest, only to feel that happiness came too suddenly. As long as she can keep this happiness, she is willing to pay any price!

In the courtyard, the chief had heard about the deeds of the ancestors and grandchildren of the Niu family for a long time, and hated them deeply, and hated to drive them out of his jurisdiction, so as not to lose his face. Helplessly, this small courtyard was rented by the Hou Mansion of Jiannan, although he hated the ancestors of the Niu family, he did not dare to offend the Hou Mansion. Now that he heard that the ancestors of the Niu family were going to break off their relatives with the Hou Mansion, he was naturally anxious, thinking that if this family was broken, he would be able to bring other residents to bombard people tomorrow, and from then on, Mianhua Hutong would be a clean and innocent place, wouldn't it be decent?

Another witness, who was older and soft-hearted, felt sympathy for Niu when he saw Niu's sick and weak appearance, and ordered his grandson to go and ask: "Your grandparents and grandchildren are all women and children, and you are old and sick, and your granddaughter is still young, and her marriage is undecided, and she is even more shy. Why should you cut ties with wealthy relatives? But someone is persecuted? ”

Niu Shi clutched her chest and wanted to say yes, but the bloody phlegm was stuck in her throat, and she needed to breathe before she could speak, so Zhao Xiang in the wing room took the lead: "No, it was my grandmother who recently heard the rumors outside, and she felt deeply ashamed, and she was unwilling to accept the kindness of the Nanhou Mansion again, so she took the initiative to break off her family." No one forced us, we volunteered! ”

As soon as Zhao Xiang's words came out, Niu choked, coughing earth-shattering and heartbreaking.

Imperial Doctor Jiang didn't move, but the doctor stepped forward to check her pulse: "Probably choked." ”

Zhao Xiang hurriedly ran out to stroke his grandmother's back: "Grandmother is okay, right?" Don't worry, I see what you mean. I will explain it to the lieutenant and the neighbors, and I will never let them misunderstand the good intentions of the Hou Mansion. ”

Niu coughed even more, beating his heart desperately, tears came out, and he was helpless to speak.

The elder and the old man both understood, but they felt embarrassed, and the latter also asked his grandson to apologize to Zhao Wei: "It's the little old man who wants to go wrong." Zhao Wei showed a polite smile on his face, and kindly hugged the old man's grandson: "It's just a small misunderstanding, why should it be like this?" "I immediately got a good impression of the grandparents.

The lieutenant also said to Niu: "I only said that you don't know what shame is, but I didn't expect you to know something good." Now that you have understood, and you have taken the initiative to break off your family, and you don't want to involve others, I will allow you to live in Mianhua Jiutiao for a little longer. Just don't do anything disrespectful! ”

Niu was so angry that he was about to roll his eyes, and he fell into his granddaughter's arms and gasped, unable to say anything.

The two witnesses quickly signed the letter of renunciation, and then left with a thank you gift from the Hou Mansion – four feet for each family. Zhao Wei gave one of the letters of severance to Zhao Xiang: "Take it away, don't lose it." But it's okay to lose it. In triplicate, I will send one copy to the government for filing, and one for my own keeping. Even if you don't admit it, no one will believe you. ”

Zhao Xiang hurriedly knelt on the ground and said earnestly: "Uncle, don't worry, my niece will definitely not do such a thing." Even grandmothers and nieces will take a good look at her and not ask her to trouble her uncle. ”

As soon as Zhao Wei heard it, he knew that his sister must have told her something in the wing, so Zhao Xiang would be so honest, smiled, and ignored it.

Today's farce is over. Zhao Wei politely thanked everyone who came and ordered his family to send them away.

Imperial Doctor Jiang went out, and thought about it carefully, no one had mentioned it to him, and he wanted to keep today's affairs secret, so he got into his carriage and instructed the coachman: "Go to the Guangping Palace." ”

When Zhao Qixuan went out, he saw Zhao Ze standing outside the door, stunned, already in tears. He sighed and whispered to Zhao Ze: "The two of them smell the same, and they are just one family. Now that you are seeking kindness, what else do you have to be sad about? Your little aunt said that she would send someone to send them to the Jiang family. One of your uncles seems to have sent someone to see your sister yesterday, and I think he was willing to raise her. ”

Zhao Ze nodded silently and choked up: "I will kowtow to my uncle and aunt to thank me." With the Jiang family taking care of his sister, he is relieved.

Zhao Qixuan's father and son took Zhao Ze and left. Zhao Ze's injuries have been healed, and since then, he has died to his biological relatives, and even his sister doesn't need to ask more. Erfang and the rest of the clan were so kind to him. In the second half of his life, he should live to repay this kindness.

Zhao Wei and Zhao Xiu finished their work, looked at each other and smiled, and were very satisfied with this result. Zhao Xiu did not forget to order someone to leave thirty taels of silver, and said that he would send someone to drive Zhao Xiang's ancestors and grandchildren to Liangxiang tomorrow, and then took Pei'er and left together.

The door to the courtyard was closed again. Only Zhao Xiang and Niu's grandchildren were left in the courtyard. Niu looked at his granddaughter hatefully, panting and bloodshot in his eyes. Zhao Xiang ran to the place where the silver was placed, wrapped the silver with a handkerchief and hid it in his room, before he came out and looked at Niu with a frown, regretting that he did not ask Zhao Xiu to leave one or two more mothers-in-law to help. Now that she is called a weak woman, how can she move the Niu family back to the house?

The grandparents and grandchildren were speechless at each other, and the cold wind in the courtyard was sluggish. (To be continued......)
