Wang Yunqing has been arrested for more than 10 days, and there has been no news of him so far. For this reason, Shuzhen quit her job and ran for her father's affairs every day. The reply given to Shuzhen by some departments is nothing more than that she will never wronged a good person, nor will she let go of a bad person or anything like that, she can't find out any news, as the family of the so-called traitor, she has suffered a lot. On this day, Mrs. Wang didn't let Shuzhen go out again after breakfast, and the two of them sat listlessly together while drinking tea and discussing the matter of rescuing Wang Yunqing.

While the two were talking, a maid came in from outside the house and told Mrs. Wang that someone outside was asking to see her, and Mrs. Wang asked, "Who came to visit the door early in the morning?" ”

The servant replied, "The person who came is the former butler Lao Zhao." ”

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she was furious: "This dead old Zhao! What is he doing here? She said to the servant: "Go out and tell Lao Zhao, let him get away for me, I don't want to see him!" ”

The maid answered and retreated, but after a while, he walked in again and said, "Madam, Lao Zhao is not leaving, he said that there is something important to discuss, and I have to see you today." ”

Mrs. Wang said categorically: "No! Tell a few people to blow him away! ”

The maid turned around and walked out, and Shuzhen hurriedly stopped her. Shuzhen said to her mother: "Mom, Lao Zhao came just in time today, and I just wanted to ask him about my father's arrest!" Just let him in and see what he says. ”

Mrs. Wang felt that what Shuzhen said was reasonable, so she waved her hand to the maid and said, "Okay, then you can call Lao Zhao to come in and talk." ”

After a while, the maid led Lao Zhao into the house. Lao Zhao is wearing a brand-new blue tunic today, his beard is shaved and shiny, and his hair is shiny and shiny, and his expression is also very good. When he entered the house, he bowed his head to Mrs. Wang and Shuzhen and said, "Madame and Miss are okay lately?" ”

Mrs. Wang responded coldly: "What's good?" Our family is in trouble now. ”

Lao Zhao showed a surprised expression and asked, "Oh? Madame has been in trouble lately? ”

Shuzhen, who was sitting on the side, spoke: "Lao Zhao, you are pretending to be confused!" Don't you know what you're doing? ”

Lao Zhao asked rhetorically: "Miss, why can't I understand what you said?" ”

"You're pretending to be confused! You sued my lord for the black state and let the government arrest him in prison, this time you have relieved your hatred for my Wang family, right? Isn't it? Mrs. Wang took over and said.

Lao Zhao bowed his head and said, "Madam, you are wrong. The lord and his wife are as kind to me as a mountain, and my old Zhao only has gratitude and no hatred in his heart. Now that the government says it wants to purge the remnants of the counter-revolutionaries in society, I don't know why they found me and asked me about the situation of the old man. I told the government the truth about the master's situation, and I didn't mean to frame the master. But I didn't expect them to arrest the master! When I think about it, I also regret that I have a lot of mouth, I can't live with the master! Lao Zhao pretended to be very sad.

Mrs. Wang looked at Lao Zhao's pretentious face and got angry, thinking in her heart why haven't I seen through him for more than ten years? She said to Lao Zhao disdainfully: "You old fox, don't act like this!" I didn't let you be blinded by a three-year-old child. Why are you here today? If you have something to say, just say it. ”

When Lao Zhao heard Mrs. Wang say this, the sad look on his face disappeared immediately, and he said to Mrs. Wang diligently: "Mrs., eldest lady, I am here to report the good news to your family!" ”

Lao Zhao's words made Mrs. Wang's mother and daughter confused. Shuzhen asked: "Our Wang family is in trouble, why should we be happy?" ”

Lao Zhao said to Mrs. Wang with a smile on his face: "Congratulations, Mrs. Wang! You're going to be a grandma. ”

"What? I'm going to be a grandmother, what are you kidding? Madame Wang was puzzled.

Lao Zhao said seriously: "Madam, you really want to be a grandmother." My family Gui Fang is happy, the child in her womb is the blood of your Wang family. ”

When Lao Zhao said this, it was like a thunderbolt above Mrs. Wang's head. Mrs. Wang let out an "ah" in surprise, she suddenly felt the blood gushing upwards and her eyes were dazzled, and the old Zhao in front of her turned into a vague shadow, she thought she had heard it wrong. hurriedly asked Lao Zhao to say it again.

Lao Zhao said loudly again: "Madam, my Guifang is happy, the child in her womb is Hongxing's seed, and she has been pregnant for more than two months." ”

After listening to Lao Zhao's words. Mrs. Wang slumped into her chair and muttered vigorously: "Impossible, impossible!" ”

"Phew! You are talking nonsense! What does your daughter's big belly have to do with our family, do you want to slander people? Sookjin was furious. She stood up and pointed out of the house and said, "Get out of here right now!" Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude to you!"

"Miss, Gui Fang is really pregnant, my Lao Zhao doesn't talk nonsense!"

"Even if Gui Fang is really pregnant. You can't plant a blame on my family Hongxing! ”

Lao Zhao said without hurry: "Miss, don't worry, our Lao Zhao is not the kind of villain you said!" Besides, it's not up to you to decide whether this matter is true or not. He turned around and clapped his hands twice outside, saying, "If you're listening outside, please come in." ”

As soon as Lao Zhao's voice fell, Wang Hongxing walked in from the outside slowly with his head down, he didn't go to work today, and was waiting for Lao Zhao to come and propose marriage at home.

Lao Zhao pulled Wang Hongxing to Mrs. Wang and said, "Madam, let him tell you about this matter." ”

Mrs. Wang looked at her son eagerly and asked, "Hongxing, what's going on?" Hurry up and make it clear to your mother! ”

"Mom, what Lao Zhao said is true, Gui Fang and I have a child." Wang Hongxing said timidly.

Mrs. Wang still asked Wang Hongxing with some disbelief: "Son, this is not a nonsense that you and Lao Zhao co-authored, right?" You want to get money again, don't you? ”

When Mrs. Wang asked this, Wang Hongxing felt that he was very wronged, and he said unhappily: "Who wants to get money!" Gui Fang is really pregnant! ”

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang slapped her thigh angrily, pointed at Wang Hongxing and scolded: "Bastard! You uncompetitive child, I expected that something would happen to you, a womanizer, sooner or later. Get! You let the Zhao family trap it this time, I'll see how you untie it. ”

"Mom, I really like Gui Fang, and she is willing to marry me. If you want to say that I was trapped by them, I did it voluntarily. Mom, you will fulfill me and Gui Fang! Wang Hongxing begged his mother.

"Silly son, tell your mother the truth, is it that Gui Fang was pregnant with a wild man's child and was dumped again, and then she lied to you?"

When Lao Zhao heard Mrs. Wang say this, his daughter immediately shouted angrily: "Madam." What a hurtful thing you say! If you want to say that there is a wild man in my Guifang, this wild man is your son! ”

Wang Hongxing was also not satisfied with his mother's statement, he pouted and said: "Mom, Guifang is a good girl, she will be your daughter-in-law in the future, is it okay for you to leave some virtue on your lips!" ”

"I don't want this daughter-in-law! Don't you know what kind of humanity their Zhao family is? Your father and I persuaded you not to provoke Gui Fang, just because we were afraid that you would be deceived. Now you have finally fallen into the big pit dug for you by the father and daughter of the Zhao family! Alas! How can I say you stupid son! Mrs. Wang had a distressed expression on her face.

Lao Zhao next to him asked unhappily: "Madam, how are you talking?" What's wrong with the humanity of our Zhao family? It was Hongxing who chased my family Gui Fang all day long, and our Zhao family didn't force him to do anything! To tell you the truth, I didn't want to marry my daughter to your exploiting class family! ”

Shuzhen took Lao Zhao's words and said: "Lao Zhao, let me ask you, since our Wang family is an exploiting class, then you don't want to marry our family!" We're two people! ”

The sharp-toothed old Zhao asked Shuzhen rhetorically: "Now the party and the government advocate the freedom of marriage and love. Do you think we can break this policy? Lao Zhao stopped Shuzhen and Mrs. Wang. Lao Zhao said to Wang Hongxing, who was standing with his head hanging on the side: "Child, it's useless for us to quarrel, it's up to you to take the big idea of marrying Guifang or not!" But you have to remember: the child in our Guifang's belly must be born, and this child can't be without a father in the future! ”

Wang Hongxing looked at Lao Zhao and plucked up the courage to say to Mrs. Wang and Shuzhen: "Mom, sister, no matter how you object, anyway, I am in charge of my marriage, and I must marry Gui Fang home." I swore to Gui Fang about this matter, none of you can stop me! ”

Lao Zhao gave Wang Hongxing a thumbs up with a happy face and said, "That's right, Hongxing." You're just like a gentleman today! ”

Mrs. Wang was angry, she slapped the table and asked her son, "Your father is not at home, so you took the opportunity to blackmail me, right?" I advise you to die of this heart! If you want to go all the way to the dark, don't blame me for not recognizing you as a son! ”

Wang Hongxing muttered unhappily: "Mom." Why are you so ruthless? Gui Fang is a good woman, and she will definitely be a good daughter-in-law who is reasonable and filial to her elders when she enters our house in the future. ”

"I just can't say no! Can't you do it again? Mrs. Wang turned her face away and ignored Wang Hongxing.

Shuzhen saw that her younger brother didn't look like he was going to eat oil and salt, so she said mysteriously: "Silly brother, I have learned Bazi and can read faces, let's not talk about this Gui Fang's human nature." She has a melon seed face and a pointed nose, a woman with this kind of face is small-hearted and mean-spirited, not a prosperous husband. If you want to marry her, she can only ruin you, let alone bring you good luck. If you don't listen to your sister, you will suffer a big loss in the future! ”

"Sister. You used to praise Gui Fang for being beautiful, why did you talk about superstition today? I don't believe that. "Wang Hongxing this time is Wang Ba's heart is iron-hearted, if it is not Gui Fang, he will not marry, and he will not listen to a word of his family.

At this time, Mrs. Wang, who was angry and annoyed, wanted to persuade her son again in private, she said to Lao Zhao: "You go, it is our own business who Hongxing marries and who does not marry, I don't want you to mix blindly!" ”

Lao Zhao stiffened his neck and said, "Madam, why are you bombarding me away?" My girl's belly was enlarged by your son, why is it your family's own business, doesn't it have anything to do with my family? Mrs., you have to hear clearly: your Wang family is a well-known family of poetry, books and etiquette, and Mrs. You are a great and kind person who is known to everyone in the neighborhood and praises everyone with a thumbs up. Now that your son-in-law has made other people's daughter's belly bigger and doesn't admit it, and he wants to kick her, aren't you afraid that this matter will ruin the good reputation that your family has accumulated for many years? ”

Mrs. Wang's face became hot all of a sudden, and she hurriedly said, "Lao Zhao, stop me!" Why are you talking so ugly? ”

"Madam, you think I speak ugly, you should discipline your son well, don't let him do things that are immoral!" Lao Zhao choked Mrs. Wang speechless, she felt that she was really at a loss, and she didn't know how to respond for a while.

Lao Zhao said reluctantly: "Do you think that Hongxing married Gui Fang, your Wang family suffered a big loss, but who did we Gui Fang complain to for their grievances?" She is still a big girl with yellow flowers, your family doesn't want her to be a daughter-in-law, so who will she marry with an unknown wild seed in the future? Isn't her life ruined by your Wang family! After Lao Zhao finished speaking, he squeezed out a few sad tears.

Shuzhen, who was still snorting angrily just now, softened her heart when she heard Lao Zhao say this, but she comforted Lao Zhao. She let Lao Zhao, who had been standing and talking, sit down on a chair, and Shuzhen said, "Lao Zhao, don't worry, let's talk slowly if we have something to say, I am a woman who has been ruined by a man." How can you see the happiness of such a beautiful girl as Gui Fang being ruined in her life! ”

Shuzhen personally served Lao Zhao a cup of tea to persuade him to dissipate his anger, and then she walked up to her mother and whispered a few words, and Mrs. Wang nodded again and again.

Shuzhen came to Lao Zhao's side and said with a smile on her face: "Lao Zhao, I have an idea to end this matter, Gui Fang is just over two months pregnant, the fetus has not grown up yet, I want to find a good doctor to remove the child in her womb, do you say?" ”

"What's this bad idea? Let my girl suffer, you don't touch the bag, how can this be! Lao Zhao was anxious when he heard it.

Gui Fang hurriedly interrupted Lao Zhao's words and said, "Don't worry, listen to me." In order to preserve Gui Fang's reputation. This thing was done quietly and not to be known to outsiders. After the incident, our Wang family gave Gui Fang a compensation fee, and I will help Gui Fang find a good family in the future, and I will give her some dowry when she gets married. I feel worthy of Gui Fang in doing this, and neither of us will owe anyone anything in the future. ”

Before Lao Zhao could speak, Wang Hongxing stopped doing it first, and he yelled at Shuzhen: "Sister, what kind of good idea do you have?" I want my child, I want my Guifang! I don't want you to get involved in my own business! ”

Shuzhen was so angry that she pointed at Wang Hongxing and scolded: "I'm really kind to be a donkey's liver and lungs!" You foolish brother, you don't even know that others have sold you, and you still help others count the money! ”

"I just don't let you take care of it! Gui Fang, I'm married! ”

Mrs. Wang slapped the table and scolded Wang Hongxing sharply: "You bastard. What kind of ecstasy soup did that Gui Fang pour you to make you stunted? Your father is both civil and military, and your brother is smart and strong, why did the Wang family make you a fool and a wreck? You have lost the face of our royal family. I tell you plainly today, if you want to marry Gui Fang, you can do it, and we can't stop you, but you have to cut off relations with this family from now on. You can't step into the house again! ”

Wang Hongxing saw that his mother was angry and wanted to drive him out, so he lowered his head in fear but still kept muttering.

Lao Zhao sat steadily, and he tasted fragrant tea quite tastefully. When he saw that the Wang family was no longer quarrelling, he put down the teacup and said to the mother and daughter of the Wang family: "Actually, I have always hated you rich people with fine clothes and fine food in my heart, because I feel that you think that if you have money, you can do whatever you want, and if you have money, you can be arrogant. As soon as Shuzhen said this just now, I looked down on you even more! My girl's belly was enlarged by your Hongxing, you think you can settle it with money, you think that your daughter is the kiln sister in the kiln, and after you are done, give some money and lift your pants and leave. Let me tell you, our Gui Fang is a woman from a good family, and she can't let your rich son waste it in vain! If you don't give me a satisfactory explanation, I will go to the government and sue Hongxing for hooliganism for playing with women! Even if he is charged with rape, it is not impossible! ”

Lao Zhao's threat not only scared Mrs. Wang and Shuzhen, but also really scared Wang Hongxing. He hurriedly said to Lao Zhao: "Lao Zhao, you should be kind, Gui Fang and I are what you want, I am not a hooligan." You don't want to do things badly, okay? ”

Lao Zhao saw the nervous appearance of the mother and daughter of the Wang family, so he further said in a threatening tone: "The old son of the Wang family was arrested as a traitor, and now the son is about to be charged with a hooligan, I think your Wang family's qi is about to be exhausted!" ”

At this time, Mrs. Wang hurriedly changed her tough attitude and said soft words to Lao Zhao: "Lao Zhao, don't mess around!" You have been in our Wang family for more than ten years, and my lord and I have always treated you well, although it has been a little unhappy recently, but there is still an old relationship! I think we can discuss this matter calmly, and there is no need to be so stiff. Our Hongxing is an ignorant child, please let him go for my sake! ”

Shuzhen was also busy compensating Lao Zhao: "Lao Zhao, my family is responsible for this matter, I will compensate you and Gui Fang first!" It's all because we usually don't discipline Hongxing strictly that he caused this humiliating thing. After all, marriage is a big deal, can you please give us a few days for our family to discuss this matter? ”

Lao Zhao became arrogant at this time, and he said in a tough tone: "Okay, for the sake of our many years of communication, I will let you take a step forward today, whether Hongxing marries Gui Fang as a daughter-in-law, you have to think about it." I'll give you three days to think about it, but I'm going to say ugly things in my head, if your reply doesn't satisfy me and Gui Fang after three days, I'll go to the government and sue you!" At that time, don't blame me for Lao Zhao's lack of friendship! I would also like to remind you: to oppose children's marital autonomy is to oppose the government! "Lao Zhao's big hat can bluff Mrs. Wang and her mother.

The two women of the Wang family together couldn't fight the treacherous and cunning Lao Zhao, and Lao Zhao pointed at the nose of the once high master and reprimanded him fiercely. He remembered the appearance of the Wang family's mother and daughter begging him in a low voice, and felt that the anger that had been nested in his heart for many years was finally vented, and he was very proud.

When Lao Zhao left Wang's house, it was already three poles in the sun, and he felt a little hungry, so he found a tavern and went in, asked for two taels of wine, ordered a few snacks, and drank deliciously. (To be continued......)
