Lord Yu's wife, Liu, was lying on the bed weakly, her eyes were red, and no one would pay attention to them.

Master Yu stood beside the bed, holding a medicine bowl in his hand, "Your body is important, drink the medicine first." He had been persuading for half an hour, but his wife ignored anyone's persuasion. He knew in his heart that for the sake of the big house, Madame was competing with him! He also regretted that he only thought about the word "filial piety", and that he obeyed his father's will in the matter of the big house but broke his wife's heart. Because of his father's order, his father's behavior and his mother's behavior of neutralizing the mud, he forgave the people of the big house again and again, which led to the current situation.

Liu is sad. What about the medicine? What about getting better? If you don't kick out the big house for a day, you won't have a day to stop. is her father's mother, and she has also eliminated the idea of support. No matter how good and intimate the people in their second room are, they can't warm their parents' hearts. Daddy only has the interests of the big house in her eyes, and her father and mother only want to make the big house better, but they don't care about the life or death of their second room.

Last time, Yu Yundang Street did such a shameful thing, treating the woman's boudoir as nothing, and losing the face of the Yu family. Not to mention that it is not too much to take Yu Yun to soak in the pig cage, beat him half to death, and then throw him to the nunnery to be a sister-in-law. After all, Yu Yun is the niece of the master, and she is not a ruthless person, where would she mention such a thing as dipping the pig cage or throwing it away as a sister-in-law! She only hoped that the big house would take Yu Yun back to the countryside with this incident, and just take the third and fourth rooms back.

However, everyone in the big house is extremely thick-skinned, and they just don't leave by playing scoundrels, pretending to be sick and other reasons. Father and mother partially guarded the big house, and made her half angry. The old man didn't want to disobey his father and mother, so he let the big house stay. The result? There was a murder case. The old man is a county assistant anyway, and the lady of the Qian family is not innocent, and the death of the man of the Qian family is easy to solve. But Yu Yun dared to calculate Gu Qingshu and dare to provoke the Marquis of Zhongwu's Mansion. How to solve this problem after poking such a big basket?

What is the Zhongwu Marquis Mansion to mess with? Gu Qingshu has a character of revenge, who in the town doesn't know, who doesn't know? She was scared when she thought about it, and she hated to strangle Yu Yun, the scourge. She was sad in her heart, and tears came at once. If this matter is not handled well, the old man will lose his official position as soon as he embarks on his official career, and there will be no more future.

Seeing that Mrs. Yu was crying suddenly, Lord Yu hurriedly looked for a handkerchief to wipe her tears.

The thin old lady Yu also stood in front of the bed. When she saw her second daughter-in-law suddenly crying, she felt irritated and reprimanded, "What are you crying for? The sky hadn't fallen yet, so I quickly drank the medicine. ”

Hearing this, Yu Liu's heart was secretly hateful, and he closed his eyes and didn't look at anyone, and he couldn't see it. She secretly swore that from now on, she would never treat her father and mother with all her heart and lungs, and would only do superficial work. If she could, she would definitely find an opportunity to kick her father and mother away. Since my father and mother attach so much importance to the big house, let them and the past of the big house.

Regarding Liu's reaction, Old Madam Yu was naturally dissatisfied. "What's the temper? Don't you look at what kind of body you are? If there is a good child in the womb, are you worthy of the ancestors of the family? ”

Lord Yu frowned, "Mother! "His wife is so dignified, she was stunned that she was sick from the big house's gambling and gambling. If my mother is not comforted, forget it, and every sentence is prickly. What's the matter?

Old Madam Yu was angry in her heart, "Okay, good, all of you are good, do you want to be angry with me?" ”

"That's enough." Lord Yu finally couldn't help it and shouted. The house is not safe every day, and it is noisy and noisy, and no matter how good-tempered people are, they can't stand it.

Yu Liu, who was lying on the bed, still cried with his eyes closed.

Old Madam Yu was stunned by the sudden shouting of her second son. For many years, the second son had never spoken to himself in such a tone.

Lord Yu blushed with a face, "The eldest brother and sister-in-law don't do any work, and they exploit our second room all day long, why don't you see your father and mother reprimanding them?" Yun'er made a big mistake three times and twice, why didn't she see her father beating and scolding Yun'er? Mrs. is filial to her father and mother, and takes care of her father and mother meticulously. The big room, the third room, and the fourth room didn't even say hello to come over, and more than a dozen people ate and lived and spent money in our second room, and the wife never had a word of complaint. The big house is lazy and scoundrel, and the father and mother are biased and protected. Mrs. thinks about her father and mother everywhere, but her father and mother have never praised Mrs. People's hearts are full of flesh, didn't my mother think that Mrs. would be cold one day? ”

Old Madam Yu shook her hands, "You, you ......"

Lord Yu was exhausted, "Yun'er provoked the Marquis of Zhongwu's Mansion. The official hat on the son's head is about to be unprotected, does the mother know? ”

Old Madam Yu's face changed greatly, and she said with a discouraged face, "What...... How can it be? You have always had a good relationship with the Chungmu Marquis Mansion. Last time, Miss Gu didn't hold Yun'er responsible...... You, you go and beg Miss Gu, just beg for it. "She's confused about other things, but there's only one thing she's not confused. That is, if the second son loses his position, her good life will come to an end.

Things have come to this point, and my father and mother are clearly the ones who still want to protect the big house. Lord Yu suddenly felt cold, and he also understood Madame's sadness better. For the first time, he put the word "filial piety" behind him and ignored his mother. He handed the medicine bowl in his hand to the low mother-in-law with her head hanging on the side, and then bent down to help Yu Liu sit up, "Madam, for the sake of our unborn child, drink the medicine!" With that, he sat down on the bed and let Liu lean against his chest.

He stretched out a hand and took the medicine bowl handed by his mother-in-law. "My husband will take Yun'er to the Hou Mansion tomorrow and kowtow to Miss Gu to admit her mistakes. No matter how Miss Gu punished Yun'er, her husband would never say a word. After surviving this catastrophe, the husband let the big, three, and four-room people return to their hometowns. From then on, the affairs of the family were all up to the lady. Come, drink the medicine. He said these words not only to the Liu family, but also to his relatives and mothers on the side.

Liu opened his eyes, tears falling down his eyes. However, instead of refusing to use the medicine, he put it on the hands of adults and drank the medicine that was already not much temperature in one go. That's what she wants today. The old man showed his attitude, she knew that she would not get along with her body anymore.

Old Madam Yu stared at Lord Yu, and suddenly felt that her second son was unfamiliarly tight.

At this time, the people who went to the Hou Mansion came back and brought Qing Shu's words.

Lord Yu was stunned for a moment, and then sighed. Let him look at the disposal, it sounds simple, but it is difficult to do. If you don't grasp the degree of this disposal well, and you can't satisfy Miss Gu, it will be a big trouble.

On the third day, the fourth day of the murder, Lord Yu opened a court trial.

Above the lobby, Mrs. Qian confessed. said that her man's death had nothing to do with the dishes of the flavor snack shop. On that day, her man came back from buying food from the flavor snack shop, and accidentally dropped a piece of meat and bones on the ground while eating. A few days ago, there were rats in the house, and some arsenic was sprinkled in an inconspicuous place in the kitchen. The husband and wife had forgotten about it, so her man picked up the meat and bones that had rolled into the corner of the stove and ate them. (Picking up things from the ground and eating them is a common thing in the homes of ordinary people, not to mention the meat and bones that are dropped.) Therefore, this statement is accepted by everyone and is not doubted. ）

After that, the toxicity attacked, and her man fell to the ground, convulsing and struggling. She was so frightened that her hands and feet were cold and she fainted. By the time she woke up, her man was out of breath. She was so frightened that she didn't think about the arsenic of the poisonous rats at the time, and mistakenly thought that the dishes from the snack shop had killed her man. That's why she's going to sue the flavor snack shop. Later, the suspect was found on the floor of her kitchen, which was confirmed to be arsenic. Only then did she recall the sprinkling of poison rats.

Lord Yu announced in front of the hall that Gu Yuanhe was innocent, and the flavor snack shop was innocent. Although Mrs. Qian's actions were false accusations, she was overly sad about the man's death and misjudged, which is understandable. On the spot, she beat the money lady with ten big boards, fined two taels of silver, and then released her.

When Mrs. Qian went back, she quit the rented small yard on the same day and fled from Kangxi Town with her two children. She was not only afraid that the Hou Mansion would retaliate, but also that Yu Yun would kill people. Although the murder case covered up the past with lies, what the truth is, the Hou Mansion is clear, and Yu Yun and Lord Yu are also clear. When things come to this point, it is estimated that the one who wants her to die the most must be Yu Yun.

The case has been closed. The townspeople sighed, and talked about the oolong murder of Qian Niangzi's family for a few days, and then they gave up.

On this day, Lord Yu came to the Hou Mansion with Yu Yun, who had lost a lot of weight, and asked to meet Gu Qingshu. In order to let Yu Yun learn a lesson, this time he didn't even give his father and mother face, and cleaned up Yu Yun Yitong. If you don't clean it up, you can't do it, if you don't clean it up, Gu Qingshu can't explain it.

Cai Tieniu opened the door and made it clear that only Lord Yu could enter the mansion.

Lord Yu didn't dare to object, so he left Yu Yun and his entourage outside the Hou Mansion and entered alone. Two quarters of an hour later, Lord Yu was sent out by the ancient butler. Lord Yu asked the ancient housekeeper to stay with a restrained expression, and then hurriedly left with the people who stayed outside.

Seeing Lord Yu's sedan chair go away, the ancient housekeeper turned around and entered the mansion and ordered Cai Tieniu to close the door.

The west wing of the front yard. Qing Shu lightly buttoned the tabletop, looking thoughtfully at a certain point in the room without speaking.

Next to her, Xiao Juan opened the small cloth bag left by the adult, reached in and counted the contents of the bag, and immediately put away the opening of the cloth bag. She leaned over and whispered to Qing Shu, "Miss, it's ten silver ingots, and it should be two or one ingots." ”

Qing Shu listened, but was speechless. That's ten taels of silver. When Lord Yu apologized just now, he mentioned that he wanted to compensate for the loss of the shop. She didn't say she accepted it at the time, nor did she say no. Lord Yu left the cloth bag and took his leave. As far as she knew, Lord Yu was indeed a relatively incorruptible official. He took all his money to raise a dozen or twenty idlers, and I don't know where the ten taels of silver came from?

At dawn the next day, the door of the mansion was wide open, and a carriage with a canopy and a flatbed carriage pulling things stopped in front of it. The women and children who came out of the house got into the covered carriage. The men put a few wooden boxes and some bulging baggage on the flatbed cart and sat down.

Lord Yu stood at the door, and said to Boss Yu, who had a bad face, "Big brother, when you get home, clean up the house, and add whatever you lack." Wait for a qiē to be ready, give me a letter. I personally sent my father and mother back. "He was determined to get the big, three, and four-room rooms back. This naturally annoyed my father, so my father and mother also went back to their hometown. He was ruthless, didn't keep it, and agreed. But there is one point, let the three rooms go back first, and then he will personally send his father and mother back.

Boss Yu snorted and turned his head away.

Lord Yu twisted his eyebrows, turned his direction, and said to the fourth brother, "Fourth brother, I'm afraid the eldest brother can't afford it." In the future, you will be in charge of the affairs of your hometown, and your father and mother will leave it to you. "Since the eldest brother is so ignorant, then he will leave the matter of taking care of his father and mother to the fourth child. The fourth child is shrewd and never willing to suffer, but he knows that it is a good thing to rely on, and he is a hundred times stronger than the eldest brother. And the third always listens to the fourth. These two are standing in the same line, and they can control the eldest brother.

Lord Yu's words obviously mean that it will be Yu Lao Si who will have the final say in his hometown in the future.

Yu Laosi's eyes lit up, ignoring the eldest brother on the side who showed a cannibalistic appearance, and immediately jumped off the flatbed truck and stood in front of Lord Yu, "Cheng, Cheng, second brother, don't worry, I will take care of my father and mother in a timely manner." ”

Lord Yu bowed his head, took out three taels of silver from his sleeve, and put it into Yu Laosi's hand, "Take it, go back and make a good meal at home, and prepare enough firewood and grass for a winter." ”

Seeing the silver, Boss Yu's eyes immediately turned red.

Yu Laosi clutched the silver in his hand, "Second brother, don't worry." ”

Lord Yu waved his hand and motioned to the coachman to catch the car. The coachman shouted, and the two carriages went away one after the other. Until they left the town, a small servant who had followed him from afar turned around and went back to the Hou Mansion to report to the ancient housekeeper.

When the ancient housekeeper learned that Yu Yun was sent away, he said that he knew.

At noon, Fu Huan was wandering on the street, and walked squarely with Yu Ya, who was carrying a basket on her arm.

Yu Ya recognized Fu Huan as the maid beside Qing Shu, so she said hello stiffly.

Fu Huan raised his eyebrows, glanced at Yu Ya a few times, and asked, "Where are you going?" "The Yu family's big house is gone, but Yu Ya of the big house is staying, which is a bit interesting.

Yu Ya hurriedly replied, "I want to buy a live fish, but I don't know where to sell it for a while, and I'm looking around!" ”

Fu Huan said with a smile, "I know where to sell." It's hard to find that place, and it's useless to point it out to you, so why don't I take you there! ”

Yu Ya hesitated a little, but thinking that the second aunt had lost a lot of weight over the years, and she had to make up for her body, she said, "Then it's troublesome girl." "The second aunt has a bad appetite, she can't eat meat dishes, and she only drinks a few sips of stewed chicken soup. Yesterday, the second aunt said that she missed the fresh fish soup she drank when she was a child. She took it upon herself and came out today to find live fish. Helplessly, I only found the dead fish sold, and I didn't see a single live fish.

The two walked all the way, Fu Huan asked Yu Ya some questions from time to time, and Yu Ya answered them one by one in a restrained manner. In the end, under the guidance of Fu Huan, Yu Yazhen bought two live fish.

Back at Yu's house, Yu Ya slaughtered and cleaned up a fish, and handed over the other to the third brother Yu Zhicheng to raise. After the fresh fish soup was boiled, Yu Ya personally brought it to Liu's to drink, and told Liu's how to buy fish.

When Liu heard this, his face was a little more joyful. "You mean, the maid next to Miss Gu is talking and laughing with you, and there is no anger at all?"

Yu Ya nodded, "Yes." If Miss Gu refuses to forgive us at home, the maid next to Miss Gu will definitely show Ya'er a look today. ”

Liu Shi breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good." ”

When Fu Huan returned to the Zhongwu Marquis Mansion, he told Qing Shu about what he had met Yu Ya.

After hearing this, Qing Shu passed the word and sent four live fish to Yufu tomorrow. Although Yu Yun offended her, Lord Yu understood what to do. One yard to one yard, she will not have a bad relationship with Lord Yu. Four live fish are not worth a few dollars, they just convey an attitude of their own.

The days passed quickly, and at the end of the year, Mr. Lu's school began to take a vacation. Mr. Lu is ready to leave home for the Chinese New Year. And Qingshu is preparing to go to Jinyang City to do some New Year's goods, and by the way, check the accounts of the two shops.

Mr. Lu did not stay in Jinyang City, and after entering Jinyang City, he parted ways with Qingshu and continued to hurry.

Qingshu sent Chen Qiaojiang back to Chen's mansion, and left Qingyang, Qinghao and Luo Xiaorong, who had begged to follow, in Chen's mansion and went to the street to do errands by himself.

Qingshu arrived first auspicious village. She did not identify herself as the owner, but walked into the shop as a customer. The female guy inside welcomes the guests warmly, and wherever her eyes see, the female guy will go out of her way to introduce them.

There was a young girl in ordinary dress in the shop looking at silk flowers. The lady who entertained the girl was also very welcoming, and did not neglect the guests at all.

Qing Shu nodded secretly. Seeing that the shopkeeper was not in front of her, she did not identify herself, and continued to look around the shop as a customer.

Just then, the sliding door of the shop opened. First came four well-dressed maids, then two richly dressed women, followed by a mother-in-law and two maids.

The woman walking in front of her was good-looking, in her early thirties, with the style of a noble lady.

The lady who followed the lady in a staggered step was also a woman in her early thirties. This woman is thin, with slender eyes and soft eyes, and she is very beautiful. She wore a jeweled emerald on her head, and she wore a bright red dress of fine satin, bowed her head slightly, and whispered something with a weak face.

Fu Huan and Xiao Juan recognized the woman in bright red clothes and quickly glanced at each other. Then, while the other party hadn't noticed them, the two quickly turned their faces away to prevent anyone from seeing their appearance.

Fu Huan pricked up his ears and paid attention to the woman in bright red clothes out of the corner of his eye.

Xiao Juan tugged at Qing Shu's sleeve and whispered in Qing Shu's ear, "It's Aunt Jane, the one in red clothes." ”

Qing Shu was surprised, but she quickly lowered her eyebrows, not letting people see the look of surprise flashing in her eyes. It's actually Aunt Jane! I never expected to meet Aunt Jane here and now. When she raised her eyes, her eyes were not shocked, there was no discoloration, and she looked like she was listening carefully to the female guy's introduction to the cloth in front of her.

Fu Huan approached and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to recruit people?" "She's asking for advice on whether to arrest someone.
