Chapter 71: Cutting through the mess with a quick knife

Man Yun curled up on the bed, closed his eyes and listened to the faint low sobs around him gradually disappearing, his heart couldn't bear it, but he didn't know how to "wake up".

Suddenly, a deliberately low voice rang in her ears, "Zhou Manyun! If you pretend again, I'll really prick you with a needle! ”

Man Yun secretly shook his head, slowly opened his ignorant eyes, and when he saw that there was no one else in the room except for the master, he smiled shyly.

"I know it's poison, and Weishenme still wants to eat it in public?" , Xu Ne, who had officially notified everyone to restore the name of the layman, sat at the head of Man Yun's bed, quietly watching his disciple and waiting for an explanation.

He didn't participate in the night banquet of the Zhou family, but when he came to see Man Yun, he also knew that she had taken Xiangling by mistake.

It is understandable that Man Yun pretended to be poisoned, after all, in addition to dispeling Xu Yu's distracting thoughts, he had mentioned to him that Man Yun's physique was special, and other people, even the Du family, only regarded Xu Ne as an apprentice, because Man Yun was precocious and qualified.

"To make my grandmother's fault." , Man Yun whispered a few words from his lips, and then, in a hurry, he hurriedly grabbed Master's hand and said, "Master! Please, don't tell me about the incense on my body, so that outsiders think I'm poisoned. ”

"What does it mean for you to be poisoned?"

"Master!" , Man Yunjiao called out, put on the appearance of deputy Sarai, and said: "Anyway, others don't know that I have a special physique, nor do they know that you have a poisonous art, so why do you need to solve the strange poison to arouse suspicion." ”

"Stupid! How old are you? I don't know what kind of mess ...... I'm thinking about all day long", Xu Ne glared at Man Yun fiercely and stood up angrily. Looking at Man Yun's expression. He understood that this Nizi was struggling with the ridiculous idea of not marrying when she grew up.

"Master......". Looking at Xu Ne's figure about to leave, Man Yun shouted in panic.

But this shout. But he called back the Du family who Xu Ne had just branched out, and followed Zhu's mother and others behind.

As soon as Man Yun saw his mother's appearance, he automatically silenced, hugged the quilt, and his big wet eyes glared at Xu Ne.

Xu Ne didn't even look at Man Yun, so he stretched out his hand and signaled for Du Shi to talk outside.

"Dao Chief, can the incense zero in Sister Yun'er be solved?" , the young Du Shi was dressed in plain clothes, and his face was full of anxious anxiety. stared at Xu Ne's eyes with a bit of expectation.

Xu Ne's face flushed slightly unconsciously, and he replied with difficulty: "This poison is ...... It's really hard to understand, and I can only prescribe a prescription for her to slowly detoxify and recuperate...... Treat her ...... When she is twenty-seven years old, the sky is full of water, and if there is nothing unusual, it will be fine. ”

Don't talk about death, it should be worthy of the dead girl who always loves whimsical ideas. When she is older, she understands everything and wants to get married, and the knot in her mind is untied. The poison will be solved naturally.

Xu Ne let out a long sigh and arched his hand at Du Shi with a sad face.

What would Master say? Man Yunzhi, who was sitting on the bed, had long ears, and he didn't hear a single star, and his eyes couldn't help but darken.

She gently stroked her chest. whispered to the hidden silver in his heart: "The poison of Xiangling cannot be cured, so she can do her mistake and let Grandpa lock her up for the rest of her life!" Silver. Do you know? I think it's too cheap to punish her like this......"

A tear hung in the corner of Man Yun's eyes. She said sadly, "In my previous life, Master also treated me. said that I can't have children because of the coexistence of several poisons in my body, among which there is incense zero. Silver! In my previous life, she should have given me medicine once, and I couldn't help it, I couldn't forgive her...... Even if I decide not to marry in this life, and I don't want children, then it has to be my own choice, and no one can deprive me of my birthright at will, right? ”

The little head was buried in the quilt for a while, Man Yun wiped away his tears, leaned straight against the head of the bed, and stubbornly pursed his mouth in a straight line.

The little figure stiffened at the head of the bed jumped into the eyes of Du Shi who entered the door, she couldn't help but mourn in her heart, and ran forward and hugged her daughter tightly.

"Sister Yun, don't be afraid...... Unafraid! Your master told my mother, this poison doesn't matter, let's take care of it slowly, and when you grow up, you'll be fine......"

After all, Master helped to lie. Man Yun stretched out his arm guiltily and hugged his mother, his little face rubbed lovingly on Du's body, and his eyes were clear.

In addition to the identity background of the family, people in the world pay attention to the belly of birth and raising. In his previous life, he married into the Gao family for half a year and never had a heartbeat, Gao Wei took a concubine Xue Suxuan, and the surname Xue relied on not only the true love she yelled about, but also the piece of meat in her stomach. And when it came to the end, no one in the Zhou family was willing to stand up for themselves except for the second uncle, and they thought it was because they knew that Zhou Manyun had some flaws.

The yin and yang gossip that I heard in the Gao family can be regarded as finding a source. Then in this life, it is better to simply beat yourself up and save yourself from worry.

After calculating the time when the Gao family was about to return to Jiangnan, a faint smile appeared on Man Yun's face......

The final result of a night banquet was the news that Mrs. Zhou Xian's condition had worsened in Xinan's Xiaozhou Mansion the next day, and it was dispersed to the various clan houses of the Zhou family in Huocheng.

The Xiuyutang where Mrs. Zhou lived closed the door, and her considerate mother-in-law and maids would accompany her. Because of the experience of the Gao family letting Mingxia's family go, even the family members of the servants who were under house arrest with Mrs. Zhou knew it in their hearts, and they were silent one by one, and they only looked forward to a year and a half quickly, and then they would find a way out.

Zhou Xian will live in the courtyard of his ancestral house, according to the name of the former residence of the Banshan Annex, and still inscribe the three big characters of "Cultivating Heart Hall".

In the courtyard where the new plaque has not yet been hung, the children and grandchildren who have gathered in the main hall, Zhou Xian sat on the chair and looked at everyone with a solemn expression. On the table beside him lay several trays covered with brocade cloth, and some of them were so tightly covered that I don't know what they were. The only red sandalwood gold box that appeared in front of everyone's eyes was found from Mrs. Zhou's room last night, and it was stuffed with more than a dozen kinds of medicines.

The eldest son, Zhou Song and his wife, and their two sisters-in-law, Zhou Ke and Zhou Ti, were all kneeling in front of Zhou Xian. Just now, they just invited themselves to go up the mountain to guard the grave of Mrs. Zhou.

Just looking at the small box, they didn't dare to intercede for Mrs. Zhou anymore.

The facts of Manyun's poisoning are conclusive, except for Xu Ne. The Zhou family also invited other doctors, but they couldn't see what the future would be. If you look at the current situation. Mrs. Zhou did harm her granddaughter's life.

There are some things that can be done but not said. Yesterday, Mrs. Zhou not only poisoned Man Yun, but also shook off her thoughts and actions as if she was crazy, if it spread, not to mention anything else, with such a grandmother, no one will dare to marry the daughter of the Zhou family in the future, and of course, the girl of the Xie family will be even more unbearable. Zhou Xie will never repeat the matter of kissing and marrying in the future.

For the sake of future generations, some decisions should be made as they should be decided.

Zhou Xian's eyes darkened. He said in a deep voice: "Chengdong, it is natural for you to go up the mountain to guard your grandmother's grave." If it weren't for you, my father and son being trapped in prison that day, Mrs. Tai would not have killed herself after receiving the news. I am a son of man and am not filial, and you are a grandson and unfilial. ”

"Xie doesn't have to follow Chengdong to the mountain, let him meditate in the mountain, read more books, and think more about the truth. Your mother-in-law is sick, so you stay with her and wait for the decoction. Ke'er is thirteen years old, and Ti'er is ten years old. They are all big children, so they are all placed in the cultivation heart hall, and I bring them with me. ”

Zhou Xian's hand on the table trembled, and he still lifted the brocade lid on a tray. He skimmed over a knotted cloth bag. picked up a few pieces of paper at the bottom of the plate, and motioned for Zhou Ke to come up and read them one by one.

After listening to the eldest son's recitation for a while, Xie Shi kowtowed his head on the ground. Sobbing back, "Father! Don't read it anymore, the daughter-in-law is good at selling the property in Beijing. And send some of the treasures of the public high school to Beijing, which is the truth. But at that time, the daughter-in-law also wanted to go to Beijing to ask for a relationship......"

"Thursday Ping reported back to you that all the items on the gift list have been delivered to Beijing. You know what? In addition to the silver tickets and real estate deeds sent to the Xie Mansion, the others were lost on the road as early as possible. Moreover, when he arrived in Beijing, I was already on the way back to my hometown, although Chengdong was in prison, he was worry-free, what use did you say about the property sent to Xie Mansion? ”

"Father! Those belongings, the daughter-in-law will go to her mother's house and ask my father to return Huocheng ......", Xie sobbed, his face flushed. was accused like this in front of all her brothers and concubines, especially her son, and she was so ashamed that she almost wanted to die.

"And the deaths of Brother Wen and Sister Hua...... That's it, the dead are gone, and I don't want to mention it anymore. Zhou Xian shook his head, but still put up with Zhou Manhua's matter. The so-called evidence contained in the unopened cloth bag chilled him.

The pile of evidence used to expose the face of the long house was provided by Zhou Song of the third room.

When he was young, the blessing of a good wife and a beautiful concubine became a pile of heavy debts for children when he was old.

Zhou Xian looked at the third son Zhou Yang who was standing aside, smiled bitterly, called the eldest grandson Zhou Ke, and said, "Ke'er, you can tell your grandfather again what you secretly told your grandfather that day, and repeat it here." ”

"Grandpa!" , Zhou Ke's white face immediately took on two clusters of red, and he hesitated for a while before he said, "I told Grandpa about my great-grandmother's deathbed. I said that I saw the third uncle come out of my great-grandmother's room with a red lacquer box, and went back to the room, and only came back after the third aunt led us to see my great-grandmother. ”

"Jingting, you don't seem to have ever mentioned this to your father?"

The two couples in the third room knelt in front of Zhou Xian in unison. Before Zhou Yang could open his mouth to defend himself, Lin's crying voice rang out, "Daddy, grandmother gave a box at that time, which contained some of the Zhou family's properties in Quanzhou in the south, and the boundary by the sea was not worth a few dollars, her old man was just distressed that the third master lost his mother when he was young, and he was afraid that his wife would crowd out the third room, so he told us, if he couldn't get through in Huocheng, he would move his family to Quanzhou." ”

Zhou Yang let his wife answer, but he only kowtowed and cried quietly.

"The elder gave it, and he didn't dare to resign. What's more, you have served your grandmother in Huocheng for many years, and it is also appropriate for her old man to favor you. Zhou Xian breathed a sigh of relief, then opened another tray and dropped a few contracts.

The paper floated straight in front of Zhou Yang, and he hurriedly caught it.

"Jingting, tell me, what are these?"

"Back to my father's ......", Zhou Yang saw the black and white words in his hand, gritted his teeth, and said: "This is the family property that was sold for Brother Kai'er to enter the spectrum before. In order to make profits, the son deliberately made a yin-yang contract with these buyers. ”

"You have been in Huocheng for many years, you are familiar with people, and it is very convenient to ask someone to deliver the letter. So one coaxed his brothers to be bold enough to stir up trouble, and the other bought a good ...... in front of his father Jingting, you think you have a good position. But you forget, this is Huo Cheng, the Huo City of the Zhou family, but Huo Cheng, who will be well known to the clansmen whenever there is some trouble, they allow you to do this, but also for the sake of Mrs. Tai, but as long as you check for your father, how many people do you think will hide it for you? ”

Zhou Xian sighed desolately, and then said: "Mrs. Tai has an arrangement, and you also have a mind, you might as well take the fleet to the south and explore the way to Quanzhou." If it is suitable, it is good to settle down there......", no more than the fourth son Zhou Tan of the Bai family, the Huang family and the Xie family had a deep knot when they were alive, Zhou Xian did not expect the two sons of the eldest to treat Zhou Yang sincerely after his death.

"Daddy!" , Zhou Yang jumped forward, hugged Zhou Xian's feet, and sobbed: "It doesn't matter where you let your son go." Please also help me find Qi Ge'er first, and I will take him with the Lin family and go south immediately......"

"Brother Qi?" , Zhou Xian was shocked. When he returned to Huocheng, what he heard was that Qi Ge'er, the son of the third room, died before Mrs. Tai died. The Zhou family had a big funeral, and Qi Ge'er's small coffin was lined up in Zuihou.

On that day, my grandmother saw that her father and eldest brother were in prison, and she was afraid that the Zhou family would be overthrown. Let Uncle Gu leave Huocheng with Qi Ge'er...... When you return to your hometown, Daddy, I will secretly look for Uncle Gu's whereabouts, but I can't ......"

It turned out that Qi Ge'er did not die, but was taken away from Huocheng by Zhou Gu, a distant elder in the clan! So, in the previous life, the third uncle and his wife had a big quarrel with Dafang, because they found Qi Ge'er, and then went to Quanzhou according to the arrangement of their great-grandmother?

Man Yun, who had been listening quietly from the sidelines, was even more confused and incomprehensible about the events of his previous life.

But regardless of the others, it is better for my grandfather to simply openly tear apart the contradictions in the various houses. At least, from now on, the younger brother will be less subject to the secret calculations of his parents.

Man Yun peeked at next week's more old and haggard face, and felt pity in his heart.

At this time in his previous life, Grandpa was already sick, Zhenri was lying on the bed and couldn't move, sometimes he heard him screaming and scolding like crazy, shouting his grandmother's name resentfully, and saying "Xie Wan, why don't you die!" Listening to it makes people worry about their lungs. At that time, the elders always coaxed and said that it was because my grandfather was so sick that he had a bad temper.

But in this life, it was the grandmother's turn to be imprisoned in a courtyard, cursing her husband. Putting aside right and wrong, the young man's hair is knotted, and when he reaches the white head, it is really sad. And like my father and mother, it is very rare, but I don't have a fake life.

The world's closest relatives are husband and wife!

Zhou Manyun sighed secretly, feeling even more confused about the future.

At this moment, she heard Grandpa coldly ask the second uncle Zhou Bai, and said, "Zhou Jingxuan, tell me, have you done anything deceitful?" ”

Zhou Bai, who was named, also immediately knelt on the ground, clearly and painfully stating his crimes, and his words were fluent, but the repetition was just a trivial matter that he had confessed in Zeting before, provoking his brothers and reporting the news.

The second uncle was the same in his previous life, so he wouldn't leave a bunch of handles for people like the eldest uncle and the third uncle.

Man Yun lowered his head and moved his toes slightly.

Suddenly, Gao, who had been standing dumbly when Zhou Bai was lying on the ground to plead guilty, slammed his knees on the ground, and said clearly: "Daddy! Daughter-in-law Gao wants to live separately from Zhou Jingxuan! (To be continued......)
