Chapter 208
The man of Wen Po is a countryman, and the biggest one he has seen is the official in the county government, how have he ever seen a third-grade official? was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, and when Lord Lin asked, he only said a word.
Seeing that this person couldn't ask why, Lord Lin believed it a little, but how could someone say that Pearl was not a child born in April, but a child born in July? Lord Lin took the paper again, looked at it repeatedly, and saw that the paper was yellow, and it was obviously old. In this way, people can't look for paper from elsewhere. I wanted to accept it but couldn't believe it all, so I wandered around and decided to see the real chapter in front of the Rong family today. After all, if it is true, Master Rong can also be regarded as a queen. As for Rong Qi's side, he can't go against the will of Master Rong before his death, he will be a peacemaker, divide the family business into three parts, Rong Qi's child and Rong Yuzhi will each have a share, and the three of them will help each other, which is also a good thing.
Seeing Rong Qi coming forward at this moment, Lord Lin walked out of the sedan chair and said: "Xian Qixiu is so polite, I have never forgotten the kindness of Master Rong to me!" Master Lin, who Rong Qi listened to, seemed to have something else to say, and couldn't help but glance at Uncle Zhang. Uncle Zhang has already said: "Lord Lin has a claim on this matter!" ”
Why does it always sound a little strange to have these three words? Before Rong Qi could speak, Lord Lin had already said: "Today's matter, it must be done fairly, I am a transfer envoy, so I simply set up a public court in front of this door today, and tell everything about it!" ”
Since Lord Lin said this, Rong Qi also nodded, and ordered someone to bring all the tables and chairs, and invited Lord Lin to take a seat. There were already a lot of onlookers, and when they heard that Lord Lin was going to judge the case on the street, they squeezed even more into the outer three floors and the inner three floors.
Mother of pearl and son had already arrived accompanied by Qiuhong and others, and seeing such a formation, Pearl couldn't help but feel a little worried. Qiu Hong urged her: "It's not real, it's not real, it's really not fake, what are you afraid of?" ”
Afraid of what? Whose child is his, how can Pearl not know? Originally, he just wanted to use the old love of the Rong family for a few years to beg the Zhou family to let him serve in the Rong family, but who knew that he was promised such a wealth by the Zhou family. But can such wealth be held in your hands? Thinking of Zhou's maid's words last night, Pearl wanted to turn around and run away, no longer entangled with them.
But it was too late, the crowd had already moved out of the way, and Qiu Hong walked up to Lord Lin with her mother-in-pearl and son.
When Pearl saw Lord Lin there, her legs and stomach trembled in fright, and she knelt down blankly and kowtowed to Lord Lin. Lord Lin glanced at the pearl, but it was just an ordinary woman, and then looked at her son's face, trying to find the shadow of Master Rong from the child's face, but he couldn't find it, presumably the child was born like a mother. Master Lin made a conclusion in his heart and said: "Chen, the matter of the heir is very important, although this official is good friends with the Rong family, he will not show favoritism. Listen to what I'll ask you later! ”
Pearl couldn't say anything scared, only replied yes.
"What year, month, and time was Ling Lang born?" When Pearl heard Lord Lin's question, she subconsciously wanted to say July, but Meng Ke remembered what she had discussed with Zhou, and hurriedly replied: "I remember that when I started, the seedlings in the field had just been planted, and at that time my mother-in-law also said that how could I give birth to a child in eight months. For this, he beat me a lot! ”
As he spoke, Pearl shed tears and reached out to hug his son beside him. April, this is very consistent with what was written on the paper. Lord Lin nodded, and then said, "Which day?" ”
"Seventeen, just after noon!" The lies have been told enough in the past few days, and the pearl has gradually become accustomed to it, and she will come as soon as she opens her mouth. April 17, it seems that the paper is written correctly. Lord Lin nodded and called Rong Qi over: "I have already asked very clearly, Pearl left the Rong family on the second day of August, and she got married on August 19. Now that I gave birth on April 17, this child doesn't look like he was born prematurely! ”
Zhou and the others listened in the door, and when they heard Lord Lin say this, Zhou glanced at Yan Ran proudly, he didn't expect Lord Lin to be like this, right? This evidence has been done seamlessly, how can they think of any reason? Thinking about it, the smug smile on Zhou's lips grew bigger and bigger.
Rong Yuzhi's palms were already sweating, and he reached out to pull Yanran's sleeve: "Third sister-in-law, let's go out and confess my relatives by dripping blood!" "Don't be nervous!" Yanran glanced at Zhou, and then said softly to Rong Yuzhi.
"But, but ......" Rong Yuzhi was about to cry, Yanran patted her again, Zhou's chin couldn't help but raise arrogantly, that is ironclad evidence, no matter how much you oppose it, it will not work.
It was very quiet outside the door, and Lord Lin had already said to Rong Qi: "In order to be rigorous, this official specially asked someone to bring the stable man who delivered the baby that day, he is here, but there is a confrontance!" ”
One of Pearl's hearts has fallen into her belly, and if the second grandmother really has a plan, she even thought of this idea. Pearl couldn't help but smile proudly, so much silver was about to fall into his hands.
"My lord, the villain also has a witness here, and it is also here, if the adult wants to summon her, the villain dares to invite her to come and confront the adult's witness!" Rong Qi's words did not make Lord Lin angry, but Lord Lin said: "This is a big deal, and it is normal to be careful." ”
While speaking, the man had already been pushed forward, and when he saw the mother-of-pearl and son kneeling there, the man felt more and more at ease, and shouted: "Ah Ye, fifth sister-in-law, if you know that you are from such a rich and noble family, we should treat you better!" ”
Pearl became more and more sure that this man had been bought, and said to the man: "If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't get by, I wouldn't have gone this way." It's really ......," said Pearl, bowing her head and hugging her son tighter.
The man was still about to speak, when he heard a surprised voice in his ear: "Daddy, why are you here?" Also, the fifth aunt is also there, this is my brother, look at the long size is not small! ”
This sound made Pearl almost not frightened, and looked at the woman who came out, and her eyes widened even more: "You, why are you here?" ”
The woman was the daughter of the woman who delivered the pearl that day, and she was married in a neighboring village, and someone came to her yesterday evening, saying that she was asked to help identify people, and the woman could not help but enter Yangzhou City to wander around, and she couldn't help but agree, and brought her daughter with her. This morning into Yangzhou City, after walking around the city for a while, I was invited to the door of Rong's house, and took it in, this woman was very strange, how her father and pearl were all here, and when she saw the son of pearl, she thought about it and said it casually!
When the man who was stable saw his daughter suddenly appear, the three souls who had been frightened walked away, and stopped his daughter: "Why don't you stay at your mother-in-law's house, what are you doing here?" As soon as his daughter was drunk by her father, her brows furrowed: "This Yangzhou City, Daddy, you came, can't I come?" ”
Rong Qi had already said to Lord Lin: "My lord, the witness of the villain is this, I think the adult already knows in his heart, these two are father and daughter!" Lord Lin nodded, but still frowned and asked, "Why is this?" ”
Rong Qi was still respectful: "My lord, please forgive the villain for being rude!" As he spoke, Rong Qi asked the little girl the woman had brought, "Uncle asks you, how old are you this year?" ”
The little girl suddenly saw so many people, and she was still a little scared, hugging her mother's thigh and not daring to speak, her mother had already pulled her daughter's hand: "I haven't seen the world." Uncle don't blame, her birthday in March, it's almost the New Year, and she is nine years old! ”
"On my birthday in March, I'm almost nine years old. That was born in the same year as the son of this fifth sister-in-law? Rong Qi's tone was very gentle, and the man who was stable was already anxious: "It's a year-old, my granddaughter, one month older than this nephew!" ”
"Daddy, why are you confused? Could this be a mistake? Your eldest granddaughter is four months older than your brother. I remember that on the day when my brother set up the full moon wine, I brought your granddaughter back for dinner. Your granddaughter will sit on her own that day. The mother also said that this child will sit in only five months. In the future, he will be capable! "The woman thinks that her father is old and confused, and remembers the wrong day, and laughs and distinguishes.
But he didn't know that what he was telling was the truth that was desperately covered up, and as soon as the woman's words fell, Pearl's face turned pale. The woman's father was even more angry, and for twenty taels of silver, he said such a harmless sentence, but his daughter broke it with a word. angrily stepped forward and kicked her daughter: "How could I be mistaken, it's only one month older!" ”
His granddaughter saw that her grandfather went to beat her mother for no reason, and hurriedly hugged her mother's leg tighter: "Mother is not mistaken, I remember, Grandma gave me a red egg every March at that time, and my uncle wanted to eat it, and Grandma said that he would have to wait four months to eat red eggs!" The child's crisp voice swirled in the crowd, four months younger, that is, born in July, married in August, and born in July, this child, no matter how it is counted, is not Master Rong's. Lord Lin's face has been turned white, and he blatantly fakes to deceive himself, how can he swallow this breath?
Zhou's face also changed color, and he looked at Yan Ran in front of him: "Okay, okay, where did you find the person from, and how much silver did you promise to let her lie to lie to us!" ”
"It's the second sister-in-law who is looking for someone to fake, not me, right?" Yanran's words were affirmed by Rong Yuzhi: "This is what you love to do, second sister-in-law!" If it's really my father's son, let alone give me part of my dowry, even if it's all to him, it's okay. But this is obviously not Daddy's child, and you still want to let them come and steal our family property. Second sister-in-law, your heart is darker than anything else! ”
"Don't say that my heart is black, you ask this gentle and virtuous third sister-in-law beside you, doesn't she want the Rong family's money?" Seeing that the matter was irreparable, Zhou pointed at Yanran and scolded.
