Chapter 41: The Ruthless Mrs. Cui

A contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of her lips, and she secretly laughed at the stupidity of the Zhong family: "In fact, father and mother are just paralyzing the Zhong family. ”

Half a month before the wedding, Zhong Eunniang went to the temple to pray for blessings, but unfortunately encountered robbers on the way, so she lost her virginity.

Those robbers not only publicized the red mole on Zhong Eunniang's shoulder, but also painted it into a picture book and spread it all over Xuancheng. The Zhong family instantly became a laughing stock, and Zhong Eunniang became an outcast. The Zhong family saw that one daughter was not successful, so in order to stop the loss, they married Zhong Juanniang, the sister of another daughter, Zhong Juanniang, into the Cui Mansion.

Zhong Huanniang had already secretly promised my father, so she was naturally unwilling to be replaced by Zhong Juanniang. However, the wood is already in the boat.

However, as if a God-given opportunity, the government caught the group of robbers, and under the punishment, those robbers confided that Zhong Eunniang was really a virgin, and they robbed people because they heard that the Cui family was going to marry Zhong Eunniang and enter the door, just to seek wealth, but they didn't expect that the Zhong family would treat Zhong Eunniang as an outcast, and the robbers did not dare to offend the Cui family, so they spread rumors that Zhong Eunniang had lost her virginity in anger.

The government summoned Zhong Eunniang to the court, Zhong Eunniang was unwilling to marry her sister, and insisted that what the robber said was true, and she did not lose her virginity. The government found a few experienced old women to examine Zhong Eunniang's body, and finally proved Zhong Eunniang's innocence.

Because this incident was too big, the Zhong family's deeds of coveting glory and framing their relatives and nephews spread far and wide, and my mother's boudoir friends and those famous sons who admired my mother's name even complained about my mother's grievances at various banquets held in Xuancheng. The Zhong family became notorious for this. Naturally, my father refused to marry the daughter of the Zhong family, and he knelt down in front of my grandfather and begged him to renew the old covenant.

Although my grandfather knew that Zhong Eunniang's accident was because my mother secretly did something and hated my mother for being too vicious, but because of my mother's reputation for being a martyr, my grandfather could only agree to my father.

After the Cui family made a new decision, my mother sent the portrait of her sister-in-law to the warlords in other provinces. The warlord was tyrannical and loved to abuse young daughters the most, and the concubine secretly concealed the matter, but in the end it was retribution to his daughter, so he cried and cried all day long, but he didn't dare to tell the truth to my grandfather.

Zhong Eunniang was also expelled from the house by the angry Zhong family.

After my mother married into the Cui family, she said in public at a banquet: She can't bear the anxiety of my dead step-grandmother, since the Zhong family does not miss the love of flesh and blood, she will take Zhong Eunniang into the Cui Mansion to take care of her deceased mother-in-law, and the Cui Mansion is not short of this pair of chopsticks.

The Zhong family was ashamed and hateful, so they came to their senses and did not dare to come to the door again to humiliate themselves.

My mother said that the grievances between the elders should not be implicated in the juniors. During the New Year's holidays, the juniors of the Zhong family will be brought into the house to play. In order to cling to the Cui family, the Zhong family can only be humiliated and humiliated in front of my mother.

Zhong Eunniang lived in Cui's mansion even more simply, like an invisible person. ”

"Mother-in-law is a good means!" Although her tone was mediocre when she stated the grievances between the Cui and Zhong families, with Chen Xi's city government, she could naturally guess how many swords and swords were hidden in this disgraceful past.

His mother-in-law, who was only a weak woman of 28 years old at the time, was able to turn the tide under the extremely unfavorable situation for herself.

What's even more striking is that Mrs. Cui's disregard for Zhong Eunniang's past suspicions seems to be lenient and generous, but it makes Zhong Eunniang even more despicable and shameless, even if Zhong Eunniang is alive, she is afraid that she will not be shameless in front of people for the rest of her life.

His mother-in-law played this hand, after hitting the left side of the Zhong family's face and slapping the right cheek, the Zhong family still has to be grateful to his mother-in-law, otherwise it will be ungrateful.

Indeed, there is a mother, and there must be a daughter. Chen Xi's understanding of Chang'e has deepened in his heart.

Since the Cui and Zhong families have such deep grievances, how could this Zhong Wei be so close to his wife. Chen Xi was suspicious, and suddenly became jealous: "What about Zhong Wei?" I think you two have a good relationship. Chen Xi's words finally turned to Zhong Wei.

There was a moment of silence.

Bai Yang and his cousin used to be the most deed, and the two often went in and out together. It was also because of her cousin's relationship that she let go of the estrangement between the two families in the early years and got along with Zhong Wei as a relative. Later, I experienced many things, and I saw people's hearts over time. The three of them will never go back to the way they were. The Si people are gone, leaving only sorrow.

"What? Is there a story that can't be told? Taking in the melancholy look of Auntie, Chen Xi smiled and played with the green silk that Auntie draped over her shoulders: "You know a lot about the affairs between your father-in-law and mother-in-law, and you can tell me and the plate, how did you get to yourself, but you are so secret."

It's not that she can't hear the dissatisfaction in Chen Xi's words, but she doesn't want to explain, once she talks about Zhong Wei, it will inevitably involve the most secret wound in her heart.

Auntie avoided the important and trivialized: "My cousin and I have both studied with the fourth uncle and ancestor of the clan. My fourth uncle called himself Beiyunke, and he had been studying in Jiangnan in his early years, and the fourth uncle was the best at painting figures, flowers and birds, and it was difficult to find a painting among the literati. It's just that now, the collision of Chinese and Western cultures has gradually become inconspicuous, and only the Cui family and in-laws have instructed their children in painting skills. The picture of frost birds under the moon, the picture of Meiya Wangxian, the picture of the lady on the spring outing, and the picture of the partridge of Peony Mountain in my dowry were all given by the four uncles. ”

Although Chen Xi was dissatisfied, he couldn't bear to destroy the relationship between the two that was gradually breaking the ice, so he could only follow Chang'e and said: "Since ancient times, famous teachers have produced high apprentices, so Madame's painting skills must be extraordinary." Why don't you make me a picture of it and let me hang it in the office? ”

Chen Xi was not interested in the fourth uncle who was highly respected in Chang'e's words, but wanted to see his wife's paintings even more. He believes that with his talent, he will never let himself down.

Chen Xi no longer asked Zhong Wei about it, which made Chang'e secretly relieved, and her smile revealed a little briskness: "What's so difficult about this!" Wait for me to give you a picture of the rising sun, this one is more appropriate to hang in your office. ”

The singing geese, the beginning of the rising sun.

Chen Xi touched her head with a smile, and said in a doting tone: "Okay, I'm waiting for Madame's masterpiece." After Chen Xi finished speaking, he turned off the nightlight on the bedside: "It's too late, go to sleep." He kissed her finger with great affection.

Although he didn't close his eyes almost all night, Chen Xi woke up on time at six in the morning. After breakfast, he drove to the barracks.

Tang Ping was sent out by him to do errands, and what has been following Chen Xi for the past two days is Cao Liren, a newly promoted officer he has promoted, and Cao Liren, who is very good at investigation and torture.

Chen Xi arrived at the office, called Cao Liren in, and threw a photo on the table: "Liren, check this person for me."

"Young marshal, business or private?" Cao Liren picked up the photo with both hands, glanced at the person on it, and then put it in his personal pocket.

Chen Xi was very satisfied with his caution, and his tone was a little softer: "It's a private matter." Don't make people panic, and don't use those drastic measures. He commanded with the pen in his hand, but his deep voice could not hide the murderous aura.

Cao Liren probably guessed Chen Xi's thoughts, and responded respectfully, "Yes!" "Exit the office lightly.

When the person left, Chen Xi picked up the phone on the table: "Is Mr. Zhang here?" I'm Chen Xi......"

When she woke up naturally, the bedside was empty, only Feiqiong was standing by the bed, and when she saw that she was awake, she hurriedly handed over a glass of warm water. She moistened her throat, and her voice lazily called for people to serve and freshen up.

After Chang'e washed, Feiqiong helped her to the small dining room connected to the bedroom on the second floor, which was temporarily arranged by Chen Xi according to her habits after Chang'e came to the capital.

"Master, I heard Qingke say that you met the cousin of the Zhong family in the Jiang Mansion last night......"

Xi'e covered her mouth sleepily with a handkerchief, and her picturesque eyebrows disappeared from the affection deliberately disguised in front of Chen Xi last night, but with a cold indifference: "Zhong Wei has been in France for many years, and he suddenly returned to China, so he had to guard against it." ”

"Master, you are suspicious ......"

"yes." Auntie understood Feiqiong's unfinished words: "If you don't crush the Zhong family, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart!" Mother...... Still too merciful! ”

After finishing her meal, she instructed Feiqiong to write a letter.

After Xiao'e finished speaking, Feiqiong also stopped writing. She pressed the ink-drenched letter paper with a green jade carved frost chrysanthemum paperweight, wiped her hands, took the jade hammer in Ruibai's hand, and thumped her leg with moderate strength.

"Don't move the nails buried in the Zhong family. Zhong Wei suddenly returned to China, and I always had a feeling that he had another purpose. So, Feiqiong, you ask Jenny to come forward and find a secluded place, and I will meet with him and try it before I do it. ”

"Master, if Zhong Wei really has another purpose, you meet him alone, in case you are startled, your situation is ......" Fei Qiong did not agree with the idea of her young lady risking her life.

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger. With the reputation of a well-known scholar and a progressive youth, and wanting to shine in the domestic economic field, Feiqiong, don't you think this style is very familiar? ”

"The master is suspicious ......"

"That's right." Xi'e affirmed Feiqiong's speculation, "The timing of his return to China is too sensitive. I don't care about Chen Xi's fate, but the Feng army must not let foreign forces get involved, and the land of China can't withstand more wars. ”

Jenny Jane chose to meet at a western restaurant under her name.

Auntie abandoned the fashionable dresses and cheongsams in the wardrobe, but chose a primrose-colored moire beaded pipa placket top, the red wisp of gold and a hundred butterflies wore a flower cloud satin skirt, the smooth silk silk was rolled into a fallen horse bun, the hairpin was swayed with a multi-treasure streamer, next to the sideburns was a gorgeous fresh peony "Linghua Zhanlu", the phoenix hairpin in front of the forehead was dotted with emerald and carved gold, and the brilliance of various colored gems could not take away the shining starlight emitted by a pair of bright eyes.

She chose a pair of golden silk lantern earrings, and the fairy put them on for her, smeared rose balm on her white wrists, and handed over the pearl handbag with both hands.

Auntie took it and asked Shayu: "Is the car ready?" ”

Broken Yuqiao smiled on her face: "Master, you are already waiting at the door." ”
