Chapter Twenty-Seven: Deliberately Splashing Dirty Water
After seeing such a big joke, the surrounding guests were talking about each other for a while.
The aunt who had slapped Mrs. Shen's face just now was also full of disgust and said, "Phew! I thought that longevity peach was very delicious, but I didn't expect it to be made by such a femme fatale, and I was disgusted to death! ”
When the shopkeeper heard that his granddaughter was arranged like this, his eyes darkened with anger, and a stone seemed to be pressed on his chest, and he couldn't say a word.
At this time, Shen Ruitian suddenly stepped forward and said with an attitude of calming down for Luo Qinghe: "Don't think about it, it may be that the guest is wrong." Today, Miss Luo and Shopkeeper Wang are here to celebrate their birthday, and Shopkeeper Wang once saved his father's life, so people would not do such a humiliating thing! ”
Although Shen Ruitian spoke for Luo Qinghe on the surface, the sentence "shameful thing" blatantly defined this matter.
Looking at Shen Ruitian's hypocritical state, Luo Qinghe knew in his heart what was going on.
Sure enough, after listening to Shen Ruitian's words, the man with triangular eyes became even more energetic and said, "Their family is so shameless!" Don't be fooled by her, this person's surname is Luo, and he lives with her mother in her grandfather's house! No one has ever seen her father, and I don't know where the wild man is! ”
The man said, pointing at Luo Qinghe's spit and continuing: "At the end of last year, the two of them were burned by fire, and I don't know why the king's own son was forced away, leaving only the mother and daughter!" Later, Boss Wang saw that they were pitiful, and wanted to marry Luo Qinghe's mother as his wife, but he didn't think that Boss Wang's kindness was treated as a donkey's liver and lungs, and he was paralyzed in bed by this woman. ”
"Ah yes, I don't know what kind of flattery this woman has, and several men rushed to pay the money for her!" The triangular-eyed man spoke in a voice like a woman with a long tongue.
"It's... This... You're a bloody squirt! Shopkeeper Wang finally breathed a sigh of relief and said with difficulty.
Yes, the daughter-in-law of the Wang family ran away with her son and grandson, not forced to leave, but deliberately absconded after arson... Although this is a family ugly, it is not his statement.
Also, Luo Qinghe's father is not a wild man, and Boss Wang is not a kind helper at all, but this coveted Yueniang's beauty, and he had a bad heart and wanted to tarnish it.
This person is reversing black and white to smear the Wang family, and there are so many mistakes that the shopkeeper Wang doesn't know where to start explaining for a while.
Just as the shopkeeper Wang was trying his best to sort out his thoughts, Shen Ruitian came out again to 'uphold justice': "Please don't make trouble in the good days of my Shen Mansion, if you want to say it, please talk about it another day!"
This is Shen Ruitian's seemingly unencirclement, but he is secretly smashing Luo Qinghe's crime again.
If today's events really end here as Shen Ruitian said, then Luo Qinghe's reputation will be ruined! The more the shopkeeper Wang thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he was so angry that he trembled all over and had to rush forward to explain to Luo Qinghe.
But at this time, Luo Qinghe's calm voice came from the side: "Uncle Shen, since this matter has already started, I won't bother you to interfere!" Please give the little woman half a pillar of incense time to explain clearly. ”
Seeing that Luo Qinghe was going to come out to speak for herself, Mrs. Shen secretly said that it was not good, and hurriedly pushed Miss Shen so that she could find a way to stop Luo Luo Qinghe.
But Luo Qinghe seemed to know what Mrs. Shen was thinking, and a pair of peach blossom eyes stared coldly at Mrs. Shen's eyes, and her eyes were like ice blades cutting at Mrs. Shen's flesh and bones.
Mrs. Shen was a little frightened in an instant, and she didn't dare to make a sound, so she could only retreat cowardly.
Then, Luo Qinghe snorted coldly, walked straight to the man with triangular eyes, and asked clearly: "Since you said that you saw me in the court of Lord Jiang, then you saw the end from the beginning?" Your words are full of malice, and they are clearly slanderous, and I don't know where the little girl offended you? Or is it ...... Whose command are you? That's why you came here to frame me? ”
Luo Qinghe said, looking at Shen Ruitian with cold eyes.
Although this Shen Ruitian has been out there for so many years and has seen a lot of the world, under Luo Qinghe's eyes, he suddenly felt a little afraid in his heart.
"Not really!" The triangular-eyed man immediately denied it: "What I said is true! ”
"Really?" Hearing his words, Luo Qinghe sneered and said, "I'll tell you what 'really' is!" Dare to ask your Excellency, who is your surname, where you live, and why do you go to the county government gate in Luoquan Town to see the excitement? ”
The triangular-eyed man's expression instantly became a little flustered, and he said with a stiff neck: "This... What's your business! I'm talking about your! ”
"How is it none of my business?" Luo Qinghe was not in a hurry, and said loudly: "Dare to ask all the guests here, if the ladies of the house are so defiled and innocent, how should you deal with it?" ”
When Shen Li heard this, he hurriedly echoed: "Naturally, he picked out his eyes that couldn't see right from wrong, and then sent it to the government!" ”
"Since Young Master Shen said so, then I also have something to say." Shen Li's answer made Luo Qinghe very satisfied, she looked straight at Shen Ruitian with these words, and said in a deep voice:
"The little woman's surname is Luo, and her name is Qinghe, and my father is not a wild man, but Luo Qingwen, the young master of the Guangling Luo family. He was exiled to Luoquan back then, and he fell in love with my mother, and worshiped heaven and earth in a dignified manner! Only later disappeared in the war, and his fate is unknown. ”
Luo Qinghe said, straightened his back and looked at the man with triangular eyes, "You just haven't seen my father, but you can't arrange right and wrong like this!" According to you, I haven't met your father either, so he's a wild man? ”
The triangular-eyed man didn't know how to refute for a moment, and he didn't say a reason for a long time.
When the surrounding guests heard Luo Qinghe's words, they also felt organized, and couldn't help nodding in agreement.
Ignoring the triangular eyes, Luo Qinghe continued: "My mother didn't want to accept it, so she never said that she was widowed, but gritted her teeth and waited for my father for many years, but she didn't think that Boss Wang coveted my mother's beauty, and came to ask for marriage, and took the opportunity to block my mother in the alley and humiliate me, trying to cook raw rice into rice, and forcing my mother to serve him...... Guys, what kind of kindness is this? ”
"Naturally, it doesn't count!" Seeing that Luo Qinghe began to argue, Shen Li immediately helped her.
As soon as these words came out, Fang Cai was still talking about Yueniang's water-based poplar flower, and the guests who didn't know what to do changed their words, and said: "Yes, when there was a war a few years ago, how many families were separated, and it was already difficult at that time, but his mother was alone and led the child to grit her teeth and wait, it was really not easy!" ”
Seeing that the surrounding guests were showing signs of Luo Qinghe, Shen Ruitian had a bad heart, so he wanted to step forward and find an excuse to interrupt Luo Qinghe's words.
But Luo Qinghe didn't give him a chance at all, and took another step forward and said: "There was a sudden disaster in the family before, and the family struggled to survive in order not to live on the streets. My mother went to work in the kitchen of someone else's house, and ran back and forth in the wind and snow every day. Later, during the Chinese New Year, the host's family was on holiday, and my mother led me to make a lot of pastries in order to make a living...... I still remember that the wind was biting cold in those days, and my mother's face was frozen white, but she held my hand and kept breathing, trying to warm me up. ”
Recalling the hardships of those days, Luo Qinghe couldn't help but reddened his eyes, his tone was choked, and the shopkeeper Wang on the side was even more heartbroken, only hating himself for being useless and suffering his daughter and granddaughter.
Shen Li never knew that Luo Qinghe had this experience, and he frowned when he heard this, and he was very distressed.
But Luo Qinghe took a deep breath and continued: "At that time, my mother and I finally finished selling pastries and were about to go home, but we were suddenly blocked in the alley by Boss Wang's gangsters, wanting to take me and my mother home to insult us. I was so frightened that I threw a stone at the villain, but I didn't want to frighten his horse, and the horse threw him down and broke himself. ”
Thanks to Lord Jiang's fairness and integrity, I was only sentenced to pay some medical expenses, but my family was so poor that I couldn't afford to pay for the silver, so I could only accept my fate and receive thirty lashes according to the laws of this dynasty. But fortunately, Shen Gongzi arrived in time after hearing the news, and borrowed 800 taels of silver from my family with the proof of Master Jiang and my grandfather, so that I was exempted from punishment. ”
Luo Qinghe clearly finished talking about the cause and effect, and then raised his head and asked, "Dare to ask everyone, what is my fault in this matter from beginning to end?" Could it be that my mother and I could only let that villain defile it at that time? ”
This question made everyone bow their heads and say in their hearts: A woman's innocence is much more important than her life! Luo Qinghe's move is not barbarism, but the chastity of defending his honor to the death and the filial piety of protecting his mother! That Boss Wang is completely to blame!
Just when everyone around was silently denouncing Luo Qinghe, Mrs. Shen suddenly said, "Why didn't I hear Li'er say that you borrowed eight hundred taels of silver from him?" ”
"Is this the time to say silver?" When Shen Li heard his mother ask this, he was a little ashamed, and he was worried about the silver in front of the matter related to the girl's name, didn't this show that they Shen Mansion had a small belly and chicken intestines?
"Mrs. Hui, I have signed and signed this IOU and handed it over to Old Lady Shen!" Luo Qinghe said loudly, but the eyes that looked at Mrs. Shen were full of disdain.
Seeing that his granddaughter explained everything clearly, he also calmed down, and hurriedly said: "Yes, just now we went to Mrs. Shen's courtyard to explain this matter clearly and write an IOU, and our grandfather and grandson also signed and pressed their handprints. Although my family is poor, we have promised Mrs. Shen that as long as we live, we will definitely try our best to earn money and return it every month, even if our generation goes to Huangquan, the descendants of the Wang family will pay off this debt for us, and never disappoint the kindness of the Shen family! ”
Seeing that the shopkeeper Wang was so bright and upright, Mrs. Shen, who had just made a scheming statement, suddenly turned red, and she couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.
After the shopkeeper Wang explained the matter of the silver tael, he angrily pointed at the triangular-eyed man and said: "My Wang family has been honest and innocent all their lives, and even if they are hungry, they have never had the heart to harm others!" But this person deliberately insulted and sprayed people with blood, if he did not report to the official and punish the crime today, there would be no royal law in the world! ”
"That's right! As I said earlier, he was sent to the government to gouge out his eyes! Shen Li was full of indignation and sneered on the side.
The triangular-eyed man who was still vicious and mean just now was finally scared when he heard this, and his legs were weak and he knelt on the ground and struggled: "Master Shen, save me......"
Seeing that this person suddenly asked Shen Ruitian for help, his eyes widened when he saw the lively people, and he said in surprise: "Could it be that this person deliberately framed Luo Qinghe, was he instructed by Master Shen?" ”
