Chapter 56: Ten Turns and Nine Emptiness (2)

Chu Wenhong's daughter has grown to be four or five years old, but she still can't recognize people, and her husband's family is in a hurry. I invited a doctor to come and see it, saying that the child was affected when she was pregnant, which caused her mind to not grow well, but I am afraid that it will be like this in the future.

Under the pressure of her man, Chu Wenhong told the truth.

When she was pregnant, she secretly went to the gambling house and was already a frequent visitor to the gambling house in Peng Chau County. So as soon as the people in the gambling house saw her, they invited her into a private room and gambled alone in a room with a few familiar gamblers.

One of the people who gambled with him liked to smoke a lot, and when she went that day, she was just in time for the man to swallow the clouds. Chu Wenhong was also used to such an environment and didn't care much about it. But when I went home at night, I found that my stomach ached faintly, and I called the doctor to take a look, but I didn't see anything, I just thought that my stomach was bad and I didn't pay attention to it.

Who knew that the big smoke had harmed his own daughter, and he had become a fool whose mind would never grow up.

Her man was furious, and after beating her up, he wanted to leave her out. She cried and begged, took a kitchen knife and chopped off one of her little fingers and swore that she would never gamble again, and her husband's family gave up.

There is an old saying that the country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change.

After a few years of stopping, she relapsed into her old illness, not only went to gamble again, but also lost her husband's house. The husband's family finally couldn't bear it anymore, sold her dowry and converted it into a large sum of silver, and after redeeming his house, he swept her out of the house with a letter of resignation.

Chu Wenhong, who was suspended, not only did not repent, but became more and more intensified and went in and out of the gambling house without scruples. If the husband's family does not let her take the child, he must return her dowry to her, otherwise she will not leave.

The husband's family was also troubled by her, and finally put his heart sideways, gritted his teeth, and gave her the child, married a house, gave birth to two sons and a daughter, and broke her last thoughts.

Chu Wenhong, who led the two children, wanted to take refuge in her mother's family, but was rejected by Chu Wenxuan's powerful house-filling Cao Xiulian: "The daughter who marries out, spills the water." The Chu family doesn't raise idlers! ”

I had no choice but to take the child, rent a small yard, and rely on the old mother to secretly help her with her own private money.

Now that Cao Xiulian is wanted, the old mother has gone, and I heard that Chu Qingruo was given marriage to the general family of Dayan. This aunt and grandmother knew that Chu Wenxuan's ears were soft and easy to handle, so she led the two children back.

Mother Yan said this, sighing helplessly, this Chu Mansion, I'm afraid it won't be peaceful again.

When the funeral procession returned to Chu Mansion, it was already dark. Fu Lingyun was worried that Chu Qingruo's body would not be able to hold on, so he asked Han Ling'er and Zhou's mother to drag her to rest for a while. He greeted those who came to pay their respects at the door.

At this time, the porter sang, "A guest has arrived!" The eleventh prince came to the house to mourn! ”

The Chu family hurriedly greeted the whole family. After he sat down, Lu Yiqing asked Fu Lingyun quietly: "A few days ago, I saw a woman from Liufu who looked like Cao sitting in the same carriage, do you know about this?" ”

Fu Lingyun was surprised: "Which Liufu daughter?" ”

"It's the daughter of Liu Kuang, the uncle of the dynasty, Liu Yuqin."

"I haven't heard of it."

Lu Yiqing was stunned for a while. This, this bastard can be so rightfully assholed! That Liu Yuqin was the one with the highest voice when you were most busy recruiting cats and dogs.

It is said that at that time, you mingled with people every day, delivered them in the morning and evening, and you would meet them by chance when you went shopping, and you also gave people a bunch of jewelry.

You're all like that, you, you don't even say you have heard of it today? According to you, wouldn't everyone who has heard of it have made you a bastard a guest in the curtain?

I've seen a bastard, I've never seen such a bastard. Sure enough, I still don't worry about Qingruo marrying him!

While the two were talking, they heard the porter sing, "There's a guest!" The mighty general Cheng Yujiao and the deputy general Xiong Ping came to the house to mourn! ”

Cheng Yujiao met with the emperor some time ago. The emperor learned that this Cheng Yujiao was not only a tiger girl, but also a brave female general who did not let her eyebrows go. In addition to praising again and again, he ordered Cheng Yujiao to inherit the name of the mighty general, with the loyalty of the whole martial general.

At the same time, he also named Xiong Ping as the deputy general, commended his courageous loyalty, and rewarded a mansion in the south of the city as a powerful general's mansion for Cheng Yujiao to settle down.

Cheng Yujiao is also a heroine among women, when she knelt down to thank her, she asked the emperor that if he needed someone to protect his family and defend the country in the court, please don't worry about her because she is a daughter, and send her to charge into battle in the blue blood and yellow sand, Cheng Yujiao has no words!

The emperor was overjoyed to have another fierce general, and asked her if Cheng Aiqing had any other requirements? Cheng Yujiao shook her head, she didn't expect it. The emperor is a joy again, this is good, and it is also sincere. Good! Good!

Lu Yiqing was sitting in the flower hall, and he saw Cheng Yujiao, who was full of praise from his father, and General Cheng walked slowly.

I saw that she was wearing an alizarin cyan embroidered makeup dress, which was simply tied with light white silk under her chest and tied a floating flower knot, and two long ribbons fell down, dancing in the autumn wind.

A simple bun was combed on her head, and she was held with a snow-white unpatterned hosta. There are two shallow pear vortices hanging on a plain little face.

Lu Yiqing has seen her men's dress, as handsome and upright as green bamboo, and today when she suddenly saw her dressed as such a delicate and moving woman, she was a little distracted for a while, and couldn't help but think of that night again......

Cheng Yujiao slowly walked into the flower hall and sat down for a while, then stood up and asked to visit Chu Qingruo in the inner courtyard.

Although I didn't have much contact with her in the mountains. However, she resolutely gave up the opportunity to leave that day and went to the cottage with her friends, but she was deeply impressed. I've always wanted to make friends with her, but I don't have a chance. When I came today, I wanted to visit her.

Fu Lingyun called the maid to lead the way in front, and Jiao Cheng and the two walked silently behind. Cheng Yujiao couldn't help but open her mouth to break the silence: "Yujiao thanked His Highness for his great kindness. ”

“………”

Lu Yiqing was absent-minded, he couldn't imagine that in a short period of time, Fu Lingyun's stuffy gourd shot so quickly, although he was mentally prepared that it was impossible for him to get together with her, but when the news of the marriage came, he still couldn't help but get drunk for a few days, and when he woke up, he realized that such a big change had happened in her family.

"Your Highness? Your Highness! There were a few shouts in my ears.

Lu Yiqing came back to his senses.

"Huh? Oh? Miss Cheng, what's the matter? A little weak-hearted to avoid her eyes, Lu Yiqing replied emptily.

Cheng Yujiao was stunned for a moment, a little lost in her heart, squeezed out a smile and shook her head, "It's okay." ”

A group of people were led by the maid to Jiexiang Garden, and Han Ling'er came over, "The big boss!" ”

Cheng Yujiao walked over: "Miss Han Ling'er." ”

Han Ling'er: "Your Highness, the big boss has a heart." ”

Zhou's mother beckoned Lu Yiqing and Cheng Yujiao into the flower hall to see the tea, and then went to the room to invite Chu Qingruo out.

After a greeting of condolences, Chu Qingruo and the two of them had tea and talked slowly in the flower hall.

In a blink of an eye, it was also a little late at night, and if Chu Qing still had to keep a watch, the two of them got up and said goodbye. Chu Qingruo sent them to the gate of Chu Mansion, made an appointment with Cheng Yujiao for another day, and set to visit the General's Mansion.

After sending the two away, Chu Qingruo returned to the mourning hall and knelt in front of the brazier, burning paper money.

Then I heard the singer sing, "There is a guest!" Salute! ”

Chu Wenxuan and Chu Wenhong, who were beside them, grabbed the paper money and burned it in the brazier, and returned the salute, and the entire mourning hall was filled with a sad atmosphere.

At this time, Lian Feng suddenly came in and whispered in Chu Qingruo's ear: "Girl, the people from the Criminal Department are here and waiting outside, girl, look, are you going to invite them in?" ”

Chu Qingruo's expression suddenly turned sharp, he stood up and walked out with Lian Feng briskly. Chu Wenxuan glanced up at her, lowered his head and silently burned the paper money.

The person from the criminal department is Director Zhou, in his thirties, with a dark complexion but positive facial features, and a righteous face.

After saluting and mourning, he said: "The case has been tried, and it is confirmed that it is the mastermind of the Cao family, and Dali Temple has also issued a wanted document to all counties and townships, and I believe that the criminal will be arrested soon." ”

Chu Qingruo thanked him with tears, and Director Zhou shook his hand: "Miss Chu doesn't have to be polite, this is a matter within the division, but it is just a matter of Lingtang, because it has been a long time, as for whether to pursue it, it depends on the girl's meaning." ”

Chu Qingruo asked what was going on, and Director Zhou looked at her with some sympathy and said, "Originally, this was not a difficult case, but it was a little old, and all the clues related to the case at that time were gone." If Cao denied it, she would not be able to be convicted in court again. Fortunately, the charge of poisoning my mother-in-law has been implemented, and it cannot be given lightly, so ......"

Chu Qingruo knew in his heart that it was impossible to punish the two crimes of the Cao family together, so he could only do something else. The moment was blessed: "Thank you Director Zhou for coming late at night to tell you, since we have reported to the official, we have obeyed the Dali Temple to send down the Cao family, and the Chu family has no objection." ”

Director Zhou breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this: "Okay, girl, wait for the news of the prisoner's arrest with peace of mind, then I will leave first." ”

"Master Zhou walks slowly."

"Okay, okay, stay and stay."

In the blink of an eye, the three-day mourning had passed, and the Chu Mansion began to clean up the utensils and supplies used in the tofu soup mat. The eldest aunt was in the yard, directing a group of people to be busy, as if she was a housewife.

Chu Wenxuan didn't say anything, letting his aunt and grandmother dominate the house, while he hid in Cuizhu Garden and buried himself in writing and painting, ignoring what was going on outside the window.

Chu Qingruo also hid in her yard and closed her door, she really couldn't see her aunt every time she saw her, smiling like a boiled dog's head, making her feel like a piece of fat and dripping fat.
