Chapter 495, Complex Relationships

The two went all the way back to the house, Changsheng held back the curiosity in his heart, and it wasn't until he washed and changed his clothes and went to bed that he asked what Mingjing and Mingche talked about today. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Mingjing leaned comfortably on the head of the bed, rubbing Changsheng's hand: "I told the eldest brother about our speculation about the real relationship between Xie Chengzhong and Lin Xinhui, and the eldest brother was indeed taken aback, saying that he would investigate it well, because it involved the cause of death of the eldest sister-in-law."

He also basically believed our speculation, because only in this way could Qing Xie Chengzhong's actions be explained.

Xie Chengzhong has been in the Xie family for 20 years, and the eldest brother can no longer remember his origin, he is cautious and steady, and can write and calculate, so he has won the trust of his father, and has become his father's cronies step by step.

Later, the eldest brother planned to follow King Qin to join the army, so his father gave Xie Chengzhong and the deed of sale to him, and asked him to swear to be loyal to the eldest brother from now on, and he must not betray the Lord, otherwise there will be no place to bury him.

At that time, he was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and Xie Chengzhong was about thirty-five or sixteen years old, it was when he was in the prime of life, shrewd and capable, he grew up in brocade clothes and jade food, and suddenly left home to join the army at a young age, he was not used to it, and he also suffered a lot, thanks to Xie Chengzhong's company and care, he spent the most difficult time, and he really relied on and trusted him.

Later, he and the Ming and Qing dynasties married one after another, the Ming and Qing dynasties used dirty means to marry Lin Xinhui, who was originally promised to him, he married his sister-in-law, but he was blessed by misfortune and fell in love with his sister-in-law, so he didn't take Ming and Lin Xinhui to heart, the two had only met once when they were very young, and he couldn't remember what she looked like, let alone any affection.

When he returned to Jinyang after a full vacation, Xie Chengzhong fell ill, worried that he couldn't stand the long-distance travel, and his condition worsened, so he wanted to stay in the house for a while to recuperate.

He was sympathetic to Xie Chengzhong, and he didn't worry about the newlywed sister-in-law, and felt that he just left him at home to take care of his sister-in-law and Aunt Mo, and he could also relax in Jinyang, so he picked a few other people to bring back to Jinyang.

Xie Chengzhong stopped at home for more than half a year, but took the initiative to come to Jinyang, saying that the eldest and young grandmothers had adapted to it at home, and the old uncle and old lady were very satisfied with this eldest daughter-in-law, and Aunt Mo took care of her from time to time, and the few dowries she brought were also loyal and capable, and there was nothing to worry about. However, he was very worried that his eldest brother was alone in Jinyang, so he came over again.

The eldest brother was used to him, and he also felt that it was not of much use to his sister-in-law to stay as a steward of the outer courtyard, and he was relieved that the sister-in-law was comfortable in the Xie family, so he returned to the eldest brother.

Later, the eldest brother became a general step by step and was stationed in Jinyang for many years, Xie Chengzhong naturally became the chief steward of the General's Mansion, and took care of the General's Mansion more than well, so that he could do his business with peace of mind, and he never left the eldest brother until he was imprisoned.

He never doubted Xie Chengzhong's loyalty, firstly, he was an old servant of the Xie family, and he was a person carefully selected by his father, and he was very suitable for people and things, so he had no reason not to trust him.

Fortunately, he has a clear distinction between public and private affairs, although Xie Chengzhong is taking care of private affairs, but Xie Chengzhong has never been allowed to contact Xie Chengzhong in official affairs and military affairs, so Xie Chengzhong does not have many secrets.

It wasn't until Bai Meiheng's death that he became suspicious of Xie Chengzhong and began to investigate secretly.

Bai Mei was beaten by her eldest brother in a rage that night, it looked miserable, but in fact, it was all skin injuries, she was young and healthy, and she would never die because of that injury, there were three people guarding her, two were temporary hired mothers-in-law, the two of them had nothing to do with the General's Mansion and Bai Mei, and it was impossible to do anything.

The only one who can do something is Xie Chengzhong. He is so careful and thoughtful, obviously the eldest brother must keep Bai Mei's life, and he can't let her have an accident, and he has something very important to ask her.

If it was before, he must not worry about others about such an important matter, he would definitely stay awake all night staring at Bai Mei, and he would not make the slightest mistake, but that day he said that he was asleep, and he didn't know how Bai Mei died.

That time, the eldest brother was really suspicious, and he had already sent someone to stare at Xie Chengzhong and a few people around him, Xu was very cautious, Xu is Baimei was really an accident that night, and he didn't find anything for a while.

Before it was found out, the Meimu Xuanwumen incident happened, the eldest brother was imprisoned, and Xie Chengzhong was returned to the deed of sale at that time, he was already free, and he was not implicated, and he had also saved a lot of private wealth with the eldest brother for many years.

At the most critical time, he didn't do anything for his eldest brother, nor did he ask about Shu'er's life or death, so he hid with his private wealth until he reappeared for Lin Xinhui.

Now that I think about it, he must have returned to Beijing and traveled around at that time, and he must have spent a lot of money. However, he is not running for his eldest brother and Shu'er, but for Ming and Qing and Lin Xinhui, but it is a pity that he is a house slave who has been away from the capital for many years, even if he has some private wealth, he does not have the ability to save people from the prison, and it is estimated that he can only secretly pay attention to the Xie family.

Later, the Xie family got out of prison and lived well in Zhuangzi, so he wouldn't show up until Lin Xinhui and Ming and Qing Dynasty turned against each other over the matter of entering the house, Lin Xinhui was desperate, and he had to show up in order to help Lin Xinhui return to the Xie family, right?

It's just that I don't know in what capacity he appeared in front of Lin Xinhui and Ming Qing? The Ming and Qing dynasties can do anything, but can Lin Xinhui accept his identity?

If our guess is true, she suddenly changed from a dignified official to the most shameful adulterous child, lower than the status of the outer room, she has always thought she is extremely noble, how can she stand this? ”

Changsheng is also very puzzled, in this era when her background is above all else, Lin Xinhui's proudest thing is her identity as the daughter of the official family, she harmed the Ming and Qing dynasties and suffered so much, the old lady still refuses to give up this daughter-in-law, firstly, for the sake of her grandson, and secondly, it is not because of her noble background.

At that time, the Xie family had already fallen, if Lin Xinhui was really divorced, although the Ming and Qing dynasties were famous families, they could only marry a lowly woman, which the old lady could never tolerate.

If she is really the identity of a traitorous son, Xie Chengzhong will come to the door, she is afraid that she will want to kill Xie Chengzhong to get rid of this shame, how can she recognize him? . ”

Changsheng thought that Ming Che did not form a grudge with Lin Xinhui, but married a sister who was in love, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, but it is a pity that the cause of her sister's death has not been investigated, let alone Che, she is unwilling.

After thinking about it, he said: "At that time, the Xie family had completely declined, and it was even inferior to ordinary families, and the so-called century-old family was just a glorious past."

Especially Lin Xinhui and Ming Qing turned their faces and left home, helpless and long-lasting, and reluctant to have a few children, it is estimated that if it weren't for Xie Chengzhong who has been paying attention to her and helping her, I'm afraid they would be desperate, what else do you care about identity or not? ”

Mingjing said again and again: "She is a woman who can't do anything when she leaves the back house, I'm afraid that she can't even comb her hair well if she is not served, and it is estimated that she will regret it after a few days of running out, and the thing she may hope for the most is that Ming Qing can forgive her and let her return to the Xie family, otherwise she will not make a desperate fuss on the day when the eldest brother and Anyang got married."

If Xie Chengzhong promised to have a way to get Ming Qing to forgive her and let her return to the Xie family, she was afraid that she would not care about anything, and then give her money and property, so that she would not lack money to spend in the future, what else could she not agree?

And as long as the two of them don't tell the truth about their identities, who can know? It's a big deal to say that the Lin family is old, I don't think the Ming and Qing dynasties may know the truth. ”

Changsheng smiled and shook his head: "I guess Xie Chengzhong and Lin Xinhui will definitely hide their identities and not tell Ming Qing, only the two of them know this matter the most, at most it is the old Lin family, or they have received the Lin family's great favor or something."

But Ming Qing is cunning, we can all doubt things, can he not doubt it? It's just that he was still in despair at that time, and he needed Xie Chengzhong's share of money to help, so he pretended not to know.

Lin Xinhui's identity is publicized, and it is not only Lin Xinhui who is humiliating, but also him, he can still divorce his wife and marry again, but those children will not be able to raise their heads for the rest of their lives, if the two of them have not quarreled to the extent of dying, this matter will never be publicized.

When he regains his wealth and no longer needs Xie Chengzhong's property, how can he let a slave point fingers at him? That's why Mo'er's letter said that the two quarreled at Xie Chengzhong's residence.

I think he may have used the identity issue to force Lin Xinhui to agree to accept Ziyu as a concubine, and he also used the same means to force Lin Xinhui to agree to the child's recognition of his ancestors and return to his ancestors. The ancestral house looked peaceful and peaceful, but in fact, it was already full of contradictions.

Now that the old lady is pressing, it's okay to look at it, and when the old lady can't press it, who knows when it will break out?

It's a pity that we have both glory and loss, we have confirmed Lin Xinhui's true identity, and we can only hide it, and if it is passed out, it will be a shame for the entire Xie family, and even Jiuquanxia's father will be ridiculed. ”

Mingjing sighed: "Actually, the eldest brother doesn't want to hold on to this matter, no matter what Lin Xinhui's identity is, she is always the daughter-in-law of the Xie family who is marrying Mingmei, and there are several innocent children."

But she and Ming Qing, as well as Xie Chengzhong, are related to the cause of her sister-in-law's death, and who instructed Mama Lu to treat Shu'er so much, the eldest brother is really unwilling to find out, so he has confirmed this matter.

He planned to return to Wugong County in a few days, go to his father's grave to offer incense, and wanted to secretly catch Xie Chengzhong, who was the most critical person, without alarming Ming Qing and Lin Xinhui. ”

Changsheng smiled lightly: "Xie Chengzhong is a treacherous and forbearant person, and his vigilance is extremely high, the eldest brother may not be able to find out anything, he is alone, and he runs away at the slightest disturbance, where can I find it then?" Even if he did, I guess he would rather die than tell the truth.

And it is impossible to detain and torture Ming Qing and Lin Xinhui, let alone really punish them, I think it is the best way to let them make trouble by themselves.

The Ming and Qing dynasties are not very bad at Lin Xinhui now, and they are willing to retreat and endure at a critical time, that is because he has not yet re-developed, and he has to endure one or two, and when he doesn't need to endure anymore, with the temperament of the couple, I don't know what to do?
