The footsteps outside the coffin stopped, and Zheng Xian'er was so nervous that she couldn't even breathe.

The expected severe pain was delayed.

Zheng Xian'er was puzzled, but she heard an unfamiliar voice saying outside: "This matter is not appropriate, please think twice about it!" ”

Through the coffin, the voice sounded a little distant, as if it was from another world.

Separated from life and death, another world.

Zheng Xian'er's heart was relieved, her body leaned weakly against the coffin wall, and her clenched fist hand was also released.

Outside the coffin, the thin old face of the old man Lou was gloomy, as black as the old dry firewood in the firewood room in the backyard: "Que'er, you shouldn't take care of this matter!" ”

Lou Que glanced at the hand on the edge of the coffin, slowly turned around, and walked in front of the old man Lou: "Father, please listen to me - it is easy to kill an unchaste woman, but it is difficult to protect the door of Lou's house." The execution of the third sister-in-law at this time outweighs the loss! ”

Old Man Lou bent three fingers and twisted his beard, but there was no response.

Lou Que straightened his waist and continued unhurriedly: "It will take some time for the completion of the chastity archway, if the third sister-in-law dies at this time, and no one will receive the order to be rewarded, how should the father explain to the imperial court, how to explain to the neighbors?" My father made a lot of enemies in the DPRK and China in the past, and if someone takes advantage of the topic to play and put the hat of 'bullying the king' on our heads, the Lou family's hard work and forbearance in the past 20 years will only be in vain! ”

Old Man Lou pondered for a long time, and his expression gradually turned solemn.

Lou Que saw him hesitating, and added: "What's more, the second elder entered the door to marry the deceased third brother in order to pass on a son in the name of the third sister-in-law to stay behind for the third brother." Now although the third sister-in-law has made a big mistake, the matter has come to this ......"

When Mrs. Lou heard this, she hurriedly interjected: "Que'er's words also make sense. Yin and yang marriage is not a good match, if the Zheng family dies, where can we find a girl who matches the eight characters and is willing to marry? - Poor our Hong'er died young, and there was not even a person behind him to continue the incense......"

"What do you mean?" Old Man Lou was obviously a little shaken.

Lou Que smiled slightly, and Cheng Zhu was in his chest: "The third sister-in-law is a virgin woman in the imperial court to build a chastity archway, how could she do something insulting to the lintel?" Today's incident must be a villain's personal frame, and he wants to use the matter of the third sister-in-law to assassinate my house! For the sake of the third brother's face and the future of the Lou family, the second elder should find out the truth as soon as possible and make decisions for the third sister-in-law! ”

"Aren't the five brothers crazy? The evidence of Zheng's adultery with people is conclusive, how can you tell nonsense with your eyes open! The eldest sister-in-law, Hu Shi, was listening, and she was so angry that she stomped her feet.

Lou Que glanced at her and said lightly: "Sister-in-law, you must know that the tree is falling and scattering, and people like ours are both prosperous and loss-making." ”

Old Man Lou shook his head and said, "Que Er's words also have some truth. ”

The archway of chastity, which has not yet been built, symbolizes the glory of the royal reward. The Lou family, who has been aggrieved for 20 years in the small Sangyu County, may have to rely on the archway to make a comeback in the future.

Killing the owner of the archway at this time is obviously a stupid move to cut yourself off!

Old Man Lou was unwilling to let Zheng Xian'er go like this, but he didn't dare to gamble on the future of the Lou family.

Therefore, after thinking about it for a long time with a black face, the old man finally stood up on crutches: "This is the matter of the inner house, Madame decides!" ”

Mrs. Lou agreed, and was about to start speaking, when Lou Que walked over and grabbed her arm: "Mother, it's late at night." ”

When Zheng Xian'er heard this in the coffin, she only had time to curl the corners of her mouth, and then she felt that her eyes were dark, and she didn't know anything about what was going on.

After days of fear and torture, it was not easy for her to survive until now.

I woke up in my room, and I was groggy and had a high fever for seven or eight days. The girls and mothers-in-law of Luotongju only hated to drag her out and bury her immediately, and no one would take care of her attentively.

Later, when I was barely able to get up, I heard that Mrs. Lou had issued a strict order, ordering her to kneel in the ancestral hall for two hours every day, and not to walk around in the house.

Zheng Xian'er accepted the verdict obediently.

She wakes up early every day to come to the ancestral hall, sprinkle water to sweep the floor, and prune flowers and trees...... What should have been done by the minions, she took it one by one.

After doing these errands, kneel for two more hours, and it will be almost sunset.

Day after day, over and over again, it is really necessary to have more peace and more peace.

One afternoon, the shadow of the sun was faint.

Zheng Xian'er was embroidering flowers in the ancestral hall, and suddenly the light and shadow in front of her dimmed, which frightened her and shivered excitedly, and hurriedly hid the bandage in her hand behind her.

Tilt your head up and meet a pair of eyes that seem to be smiling but not smiling.

Zheng Xian'er's face immediately faded with blood.

Not because of how vicious the face of the person in front of him was, but because—
