When He Huan left the Yongji pawnshop, it was almost time to apply. Although Lin Zhutou was strict when he spoke to her, he still promised her that he would wait for her to go home and ask for details, and then explain the facts to him. With these words, she was almost certain that the yamen would not pursue the He family.

Faced with this, He Huan's first reaction was that Shen Jinglun interceded for the He family, but she quickly denied this speculation, and was more inclined to believe that Xie San might have said good things for the He family before leaving.

He Huan didn't have the worries of the yamen, so he simply ordered Uncle Zhang to take her around Jizhou City twice, arrange the next day's affairs properly, and then go back to He's house.

Cao Shi heard the voice of her returning, went to the second gate to greet her, and said that she and Aunt Zhang had prepared dinner and were waiting for them to go home.

He Huan was secretly surprised when he saw Cao's flattering smile, and said bluntly: "Aunt Cao, do you have something to ask for?" ”

"Actually, it's not like there's something to ask for." Cao lowered his eyes and whispered: "I have figured it out in the past few days, I will not fight for anything in the future, everyone can live a good life with one heart." ”

He Huan was even more strange in his heart, and while looking at her, he said, "Aunt Cao, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”

"It doesn't matter...... In short, if you have anything to do in the future, tell me...... Just like the last time I was at your third uncle's house, there were some things that you couldn't say or do, so you told me to do them......"

"I see." He Huan smiled and nodded: "It's just right, tomorrow's matter is indispensable to ask Aunt Cao to contribute." Of course, the benefits are also indispensable to you. She only thought that Aunt Cao remembered the money she earned at He Baihai's house last time, so she dispelled the doubts in her heart.

When He Huan returned to the West Cross Courtyard, he greeted He Jing and changed his clothes. Hands cleaned. Go straight to the West Chamber and knock on the door. She knocked dozens of times in a row. Tao opened the door angrily and said angrily: "What do you want! She held the door frame with her right hand, blocking the door and preventing He Huan from entering the house.

He Huan entered the room sideways from Dow's left hand side, ignoring the stunned in Dow's eyes, and picked a comfortable chair to sit down. It's not that she's pretending or trying to provoke Dow, it's that she's really tired. She didn't want to wronged herself.

Cao Shi saw that she was refreshed, and she was wearing a crumpled middle coat, unkempt, and even more resentful in her heart, and said with a calm face: "Please go out, we have nothing to say?" ”

"Auntie, you don't want to know why your uncle was taken to court?"

Tao was stunned for a moment, and said with a cold face: "What is there to say about this, I am unwell." I wanted to rest. ”

"Auntie, I don't believe you never thought about it. If the eldest uncle had not been taken to court by the officials, if his condition had not deteriorated, what would be your situation now? ”

"What the hell are you trying to say!" Dow's voice was mixed with crying. All these years, she has been wondering if her husband would have lived such a bleak life. Although her husband is not in good health, he is a living person, even if he lingers on the sickbed all day long, he is also a person who can talk to her. She slammed the door slammed on, sat down on a chair by the door, and quietly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

He Huan sighed lightly and whispered, "Auntie, you really don't want to delve into it, why did the uncle be charged with smuggling?" ”

Tao also wanted to clear her husband's smuggling charges, but she still stiffened her neck and said, "It was Lin Zhutou who wronged your uncle for the sake of making a deal......

"Lin Zhutou is just a catcher, if he didn't have the card ticket of the previous county magistrate Hu, how could he come to arrest people?"

"Lord Hu is not a good person, otherwise how could the imperial court send someone to investigate? It must have been him who swallowed the silver and quietly hid and was happy. Dow snorted, and the look of resentment on his face became heavier.

He Huan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard her say this. She vaguely heard that the former county magistrate Hu had disappeared on the way back to Beijing after the handover of the Lu county magistrate. At that time, she was struggling with whether to exchange her life for the peace of the Lin family, and she didn't pay much attention to this matter. Now that I think about it, Hu Xianling's disappearance is also quite strange.

Seeing that He Huan didn't speak, Tao snorted: "In short, it was the people from the Yamen who killed your eldest uncle......

"Auntie, have you ever thought that maybe someone is really smuggling, and the uncle is just a scapegoat......

"In short, it was the people of the Yamen who killed your uncle."

"Smack!" He Huan slapped his palm on the table, stood up suddenly, and said angrily: "Do you think that you are worthy of your eldest uncle because you miss your uncle and hate Lin Zhutou?" You're just covering your ears and stealing the bell, deceiving yourself! I don't believe it, you never thought about why the only uncle was taken to court! Why did the eldest uncle's condition suddenly take a turn for the worse and he vomited blood and died! ”

"You, you talk nonsense, I won't believe your words!" Dow's face turned pale. He Huan's words seemed to open the pustule in her heart, forcing her to face something she didn't want to face.

"Am I talking nonsense? Even Aunt Cao is not angry that Grandma gave the money-making shop to the third uncle's family, and the eldest aunt really didn't think about anything? ”

"You, your eldest uncle said that filial piety comes first......"

"Good a hundred lines of filial piety first! Because of the word 'filial piety', do you let your husband die in vain? You don't deserve to be a wife! ”

"You know what to say! You don't know anything, don't talk here! Dow's face turned from white to blue.

He Huan suddenly thought that He Jing had told her earlier that Aunt Zhang had mentioned to Uncle Zhang "a matter of great benefits". What could be more profitable than smuggling?

He Huan looked at Tao's face and suddenly laughed. "So the eldest uncle knows the way, and you also know the way, you just hide it from me!" She shook her head and smiled bitterly, "The eldest uncle told you before he died, and filial piety comes first, so you can't hate your aunt and grandmother, you can only hate Lin Zhutou." You're afraid that without this hatred, you won't be able to live. Therefore, I just said a few words to Lin Zhutou and praised him for handling the case impartially, and you hated me......"

"I don't know the way, I don't know anything." Dow was annoyed. She got up and opened the door, pointed out the door and said, "You give me a trip, I don't want to see you!" ”

He Huan didn't move, just looked at Tao coldly. Dow yelled a few times, lost his momentum, and fell against the door. "Whimper" began to cry.

"What's going on? Why are you crying again? Cao and Aunt Zhang rushed over when they heard the sound.

He Huan did not explain. I just looked down the gate towards the main house. She believed that Wei must have heard the commotion. She instructed Aunt Zhang: "You go and ask your aunt and grandmother." What do you want to eat for dinner, so I will serve in the house. ”

Cao bent down to help Tao up, but Tao was like a puddle of mud, she couldn't pull her up at all, she could only ask He Huan with her eyes, what happened.

He Huan looked at Tao and sighed silently. She could imagine Dow's mood at the moment. She had been covering her wounds for three years, and she was bloodily ripped open overnight. How could she not be in pain. But she couldn't understand Dow, let alone agree.

In the real He Huan's memory, Tao and He Baichu had a deep relationship, how could she know that Lu Dao was Wei who indirectly killed her husband, just because her husband said "Filial piety comes first" before he died, so she pretended not to know anything. What kind of "noble sentiment" is this, He Huan thinks that he can't do it in ten lifetimes.

He Huan sighed again, sat back in his chair, looked at Cao's family, and asked himself: Does she know about the smuggling of Lu Dao?

Cao was inexplicably looked at by her. My gut asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Aunt Cao, three years ago. Do you really disapprove of your aunt and grandmother taking the family's money to make a profitable business? ”

"What a lucrative deal?" Cao's eyes were only blank, and then his eyes lit up, and he said loudly: "There is such a good thing, why do I disapprove of it?" I will definitely raise my hands and feet in favor! ”

"If your father is alive, are you willing to exchange your father's life for it?"

"Of course not, I'm not stupid!" Cao's instinct retorted.

When Dow probably heard this, he suddenly cried even more sadly.

"Alright, alright, sister-in-law, don't cry." Cao Shi half pulled and half hugged, and finally got Tao to the chair.

He Huan walked to the door, looked towards the main house, closed the door, looked back at Tao and Cao, and said, "You already know that the black turban man once hid in the house in Stone Lane......"

Cao interjected indifferently: "The yamen hasn't found us so far, it should be nothing, and besides, the black scarves are dead, even if something happens, Uncle Shen will settle it......"

"Aunt Cao's words are wrong, even if Uncle Shen has this ability, why does he want to help us all the time?"

Seeing that He Huan was righteous, Cao closed his mouth in disdain.

He Huan bowed his head and said to Tao: "Auntie, I am not embarrassed by you today, let alone make a special trip to block you. If it weren't for Brother Jing, I wouldn't want to mention what happened three years ago. ”

Hearing He Huan mention He Jing, Cao's ears immediately pricked up, and Tao's cry gradually weakened.

He Huan was really tired, so he found a chair and sat down, and said, "The house in Stone Lane belongs to my grandfather, and I didn't know anything about it beforehand. I'm sure Aunt Cao doesn't know either, auntie, what about you? ”

Tao was still sobbing, and said ominously: "Don't be alarmist here, Jing'er is only ten years old, and no matter how many people in the yamen don't distinguish between right and wrong, they won't find a ten-year-old child." ”

He Huan asked rhetorically: "If our whole family is convicted, will Brother Jing still have a chance to take the imperial examination?" ”

When Cao Shi heard this, he immediately became anxious, and asked what was going on. She wanted to say that Shen Jinglun should not sit idly by, but seeing He Huan's serious face, she still swallowed the words that had already reached her mouth.

He Huan rubbed his forehead lightly and asked in a low voice: "Auntie, the house in Stone Lane, did you know about it beforehand?" Seeing that Tao didn't answer, she threatened: "To tell you the truth, I went out in a hurry in the afternoon, just to go to Yongji Pawnshop." Lin Zhutou is checking in the Yongji pawnshop, and Lord Lu has convicted the black scarf man of being a thief. Auntie, you are 'full of poetry and books', you should know what the crime of harboring thieves is, right? ”

Tao wiped his tears vigorously and replied bitterly: "I don't know the house in Stone Lane, I only know that the old lady gave part of her private property to Sanfang, as if to block Sanfang's mouth." ”

He Huan continued to ask: "What about the broker Feng?" Does the eldest uncle know the broker Feng? ”

"I don't know." Cao's face turned white and denied it categorically.

He Huan looked at her strangely, and even Tao couldn't help but look up at her. Cao Shi smiled awkwardly, hurriedly concealed his emotions, and explained dryly: "Uncle is a gentleman in Duanfang, how can he know someone like Broker Feng?" ”

"As far as I know, Bai Chu really doesn't know anyone surnamed Feng."

He Huan saw that Tao didn't seem to be lying, and muttered: "If that's the case, that is, grandma knows the broker?" ”

"Bang Bang!"

There was a sudden knock on the door, followed by Wei's loud shouting and Aunt Zhang's low persuasion.

He Huan got up and opened the door, and Wei slammed his head and called at her cheek. He Huan turned around to avoid her movements, and Aunt Zhang grabbed her wrist.

Wei shook off Aunt Zhang heavily, strode into the house, raised his head and shouted: "I know that I am old, useless, you don't have to hide here to discuss how to kill me, I will die in front of you now, and I will die a hundred times when I die!" With that, she was about to slam into the pillar beside her.

Dow was startled and forgot to react for a moment. Cao Shi reacted, but she saw that He Huan was just standing by the door and did not move, so she decided to do the same. Aunt Zhang stumbled, hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Wei, but was pushed away by Wei again.

Seeing that no one stopped her from committing suicide, Wei sat on the ground and cried loudly: "I worked hard to give birth to Da Lang Erlang, and I have never done anything bad, but not only the white-haired people sent the black-haired people, but I was actually angry to death by my daughter-in-law and granddaughter, what kind of sin am I doing!" ”

He Huan listened to her scream, only to feel that his temples were pounding suddenly, and his head hurt terribly. She turned her head to look at the sky, and wanted to ask God, why did she turn into He Huan and clean up the mess of the He family? She pressed her temples hard, but saw that Wei was like a shrew in the market, making more and more trouble, and even tore her hair apart.

He Huan didn't have the strength to stop Wei, grabbed the teapot on the side, and slammed it on the ground.

With a dull "bang", the room instantly fell into a deathly silence. After a while, Wei came back to his senses and was about to continue crying, He Huan said word by word: "Auntie, you touched your conscience and said that it was not you who killed your own son. Do you dare to swear by the lights that your uncle's death has nothing to do with you? ”

Originally, Tao could still pretend not to know the way, suppress the suspicion in his heart, and hate Lin Zhutou wholeheartedly, but He Huanqing said this sentence clearly, how could she still pretend? She looked at Wei Shi with a pale face, held the back of the chair tightly with both hands, and muttered distractedly: "Before his death, the master asked me to swear that I must be filial to you and take Da Jing'er with my heart." No matter what happens, you can't be blamed. No matter how poor and miserable the family is, let Jing'er study hard......"

In Dow's weak voice, everyone suddenly heard a sound outside the second door. After a while, Bai Shao replied under the corridor: "Miss, the daylily girl from Uncle Shen's family is here." (To be continued......)
