Chapter 228, taking the opportunity to force marriage

Mingjing walked over with a heavy heart, and knelt in front of the old lady with a plop: "Jiaoxiang's death, although it was not done by Mingjing, but Mingjing lived up to his mother's kindness, just by virtue of this, he should also be subject to family law, and ask his mother to punish him, Mingjing dare not have any complaints!" ”

The old lady remembered that Mingche had been secretly angry with herself since she came home, and even Mingjing, who had always been obedient, followed suit, and accepted her reward for the girl in the room, but secretly only spoiled the bean yellow that he had been with since he was a child, and she had been snubbing Jiaoxiang in every way, forcing her to commit suicide, what is this disobedience? If she continues like this, what prestige does she have in this family? We must use today's events to let everyone know who is the head of the Xie family!

She glared at Mingjing fiercely: "Do you know what the sin of unfilial piety means to you? Although Jiao Xiang is a girl, I also gave it to you, don't you like her anymore, don't you even give me face? I see that in this house, there is no distinction between the old and the young! I'm going to make good rules today! Come on, take the family law! ”

The girl on the side looked at each other, the housekeeper didn't dare to make a mistake, on the one hand, he asked someone to take the family law, and on the other hand, he quietly asked someone to inform Aunt Tai and Mingche, no one could stop the old lady's anger today, I hope that Aunt Tai and Mingche can think of some way.

Soon, two strong house slaves came carrying the board, and the old lady remembered that she was being disrespectful to herself, looked at Mingjing, who was kneeling on the ground but straightened, and gritted her teeth and said, "Give me a hard beating of eighty boards!" Don't blame me for being ruthless, just a human life is gone, what a lot of evil, you just suffer some flesh and skin, you should atone for your sins! ”

The housekeeper was secretly anxious but didn't dare to reveal it, quietly looked around, but still didn't see the shadow of the aunt and Mingqing, afraid that the old lady would suspect and dare not delay any longer, so he had to personally lead someone forward to hold Mingjing on the left and right, press him in the open space in front of the old lady, and prepare for execution.

At this time, the aunt stumbled over, and she cried as she ran: "Old lady, no, the third master was soaked in cold water when he was a child, and his body was weak, he will not be able to bear it!" ”

Saying that, he knelt down in front of the old lady with a handful of snot and tears and begged bitterly: "I know that he is too wrong this time, so a yellow flower girl will be gone if he says no, it is really a sin, not to mention the old lady, I also hate him for not being angry!" However, he is young and ignorant, so I beg the old lady to spare him this time for the sake of his filial piety! The old lady has loved him very much since she was a child, and this time she can't stop hurting him when she is angry! ”

The old lady glared at her fiercely and reprimanded: "Although the girl in the room is a slave, but she is also raised by her father's mother, a living life is gone, our Xie family has always been benevolent heirloom, this animal has harmed her life, although it is not so that the master gives the slave his life, but it is always appropriate to take a beating, right?" Can't you kill people and still be free? ”

Aunt Tai was so frightened that she saw that Mingjing was about to be pressed to the ground and hit the board, she raised her head again and begged unwillingly: "No matter how heavy Mingjing's sin is, since the person is dead, it is useless to kill Mingjing, beg the old lady to punish him in other ways!" In order to atone for his sins, I am willing to eat fasting and recite the Buddha sincerely every day! It's really not good, the old slave is willing to accept the family law for him! ”

The old lady glared at her contemptuously, sneered and said, "Although you are a slave, you are also his biological mother, if you accept the family law for him, won't you force him to be unfilial?" If he bears the name of unfilial piety, and see how he will establish the world in the future? After speaking, he motioned to the two sturdy mothers-in-law to pull her away, and ordered the housekeeper: "Use the family law!" ”

Seeing that the board was about to go down, Douhuang, who had just arrived, shouted: "Old lady, slow down!" Minions have something to say! The slave suspects that Jiao Xiang did not commit suicide by hanging from the beam, but was killed by someone! ”

The old lady was stunned for a moment, forced her to look at her and asked, "What are you talking about?" If there is even the slightest lie, you will be killed together! ”

Douhuang looked at the ruthlessness in her eyes, was shocked, nodded and knelt down respectfully and said, "The slave thinks that Jiao Xiang is not a pessimistic and misanthropic, and it is impossible for her to commit suicide by hanging herself!" Don't hide it from the old lady, she also quarreled with the slave yesterday, saying that let the slave not be complacent too early, it is the third master who doesn't know her good will be temporarily infatuated with the slave, and said that when the third master gets tired of me for a long time, he will see her beauty and gentleness, and he will leave the slave behind and like her, and said that if the slave walks and sees, she will definitely let me fall out of favor, so the slave thinks that she doesn't seem to be going to commit suicide, maybe she will be killed, and please let the old lady know it! ”

The old lady squinted her eyes and looked at her for a moment, and said coldly: "Little girl, speak responsibly!" And don't be untrustworthy! The Xie family is a house of etiquette, and there are people coming and going in broad daylight, how could someone kill her? I know that your master forced her to commit suicide because she spoiled you and snubbed Jiao Xiang, and you can't escape responsibility for Jiao Xiang's death! Although you are a protector of the Lord, you can't talk nonsense! ”

Douhuang was stunned for a moment, and said firmly: "The slave doesn't dare to say anything, Jiaoxiang really doesn't seem to have committed suicide, she was really confident when she quarreled with the slave the day before yesterday, how could she suddenly commit suicide when she was determined to win?" ”

Mingjing, who was firmly grasped by the house slave, finally heard her words clearly, and couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, it doesn't matter if he is beaten or not, if Jiao Xiang doesn't commit suicide by hanging the beam, his guilt can be lighter, although the sin is not in her, but a young woman died because of him, it is impossible not to feel guilty.

The old lady instantly changed her face and shouted angrily: "Come on, pull this nonsense girl down and lock her up, don't let her out without my order!" Butler, use the family method quickly! ”

The aunt collapsed to the ground all of a sudden, and the housekeeper saw that there was no hope for help, so he didn't dare to disobey the old lady's order again, so he had to hold Mingjing down and not let him move, and began to fight.

At this moment, Ming Che rushed over, he strode over, and at once he pushed the two house slaves with the board to the ground, and then saluted the old lady and said, "Mother! Since some people say that there is another reason for the girl's death, it should be investigated clearly before it can be convincing, and forcibly suppressing it can only cause gossip that is unfavorable to the Xie family and mother, if the rumors are all over the place, won't the reputation of the Xie family be ruined? Therefore, the son is willing to ask his mother not to rush to torture Mingjing, and to investigate the matter first, so as not to let the wicked slip through the net, if she is really forced to commit suicide, it will not be too late to use family law against Mingjing at that time. ”

Although the old lady was angry with him for refuting herself in public and doubting her ability to handle things, her words were reasonable, but she couldn't choose, let alone forcibly suppress them in front of a group of minions, thinking that Mingche was secretly resisting her, so she had to swallow a bad breath and said: "It's up to you, find out first." However, such a thing can happen in the third room, which has a lot to do with not being the housewife, no matter what the outcome of this matter is, wait until the day of Queen Taimu's sacrifice is over, immediately let Mingjing and Miss Cheng marry and then choose an auspicious day to complete the marriage! ”

Mingjing immediately objected loudly: "No, mother, my son would rather receive the family law than get married so early!" ”
