Chapter Seventy-Three

After dinner, the old lady was angry in the house. She went back to her parents' house today to ask her granddaughter for an explanation. As soon as they arrived there, Azhu's mother-in-law, Xue, came out, and she greeted them very affectionately into the house, and then asked them to sit down, and then said affectionately: "Look at this Zhu girl, it's such an idea, and you still trouble your grandmother to go." ”

Without waiting for others to answer, she said to Li again: "Cousin-in-law, you are too, Ah Zhu can really be angry here." It's not important for the little couple to make a fuss.

Then he turned to Ah Zhu: Ah Zhu, it's not that I said you, this is at home from the father, married from the husband, if you have any grievances, you can tell me, but you can't go back to your parents' house at every turn. ”

As soon as Li heard this, he was obviously beaten. This is secretly blaming Ah Zhu for not bringing his own affairs to his mother's house, and instigating his mother's family to make trouble.

Li said: "Brother and sister, this can't be considered a trivial matter, not long after this pearl got married, this sister-in-law and daughter have not yet, and this concubine is about to be born." I can't say this anywhere. ”

Xue's face changed, and he sneered and said: "Second sister-in-law, this Azhu has been married for half a year, and this belly has not moved, and besides, this child is not called Azhu's mother when she is born." If Azhu is willing, he can hold the child by his side and raise it. ”

Ah Zhu stomped his foot angrily: "Grandmother, I don't want to raise that slut's child." ”

Lao Wu is not a young lady who came out of everyone, put down the tea in his hand and said: Nephew and daughter-in-law, Azhu has been married for a short time. You are so anxious, Azhu is not unable to give birth, why do you have to let Azhu give birth to her sister-in-law before her concubine can be born. I think I'll get rid of the baby in my aunt's womb. ”

Xue scolded in his heart, you old pious woman, you can do such a ruthless thing, and use the methods you used in your husband's family to me. But she still has to laugh on the face, who will let herself be at a loss.

So she said twice: I went back to the temple to burn incense, and the abbot of the temple said to me, "I should not kill this year." Otherwise, you will offend the mother who sent the child. If you offend the mother who sent the child, it will be terrible. "After saying this, I don't believe it, and when I say this, you can still let me beat this child.

knew that the Xue family was talking nonsense, but the old Wu family and the Li family really couldn't talk about letting her kill the child. People in the past were superstitious, and you can't go to the temple and ask the abbot if he has never said such a thing. The three of the old Wu family were so angry that they felt like they had swallowed Coptis chinensis, and they were bitter in their mouths and bitter in their hearts.

I couldn't talk anymore, the old Wu family got angry, got up and told the Li family to pull Ah Zhu away, and the Xue family didn't keep them, and the corners of her mouth twitched coldly after they left.

Ah Zhu has been crying since she went back. Li Shi also smashed things angrily. The subordinates were so frightened that they spoke and acted carefully, and there were dark clouds in the second house.

After interrogating Su Cheng, several people were silent, and after a while, Ling Yuanhang asked, "Father, what do you say we should do, do you want to expose this matter?"

King Ling looked at his son with complicated eyes for a while, and then sighed: "Yuanhang, this matter is not so simple to deal with, think about it, if we expose this matter, it will be a shame for our entire county king's mansion, with such a brotherly wall and family discord, not only will it be impeached by the imperial history, but it will also become the handle of the entire capital." We are not ordinary people now, we have made great achievements, how many pairs of eyes are looking at us, there are those who respect us, and there are those who hope that we will be unlucky. How can we take the initiative to give the handle to someone else's hands. Also, Yuanhang, Ah Yu and Ah Fan are very good children, I don't want to ruin them. But Hang'er, I can't let my son be plotted for nothing and not fight back, we have to find a safe way. ”

Ling Yuanhang also knew his father's difficulties, one was his son and the other was his brother. From my own point of view, the person who harmed me is my own second uncle, who is related by blood, and I also feel that it is very tricky to deal with, and all aspects must be taken into account. He thought for a moment and said, "Father, let's split up with the second uncle and divide him, doesn't he covet the title of the king of the county?

King Ling Jun said: "I have to divide him, but it is too suitable for him to divide it." Although he is your second uncle, he already has a vicious intention to eradicate the big house, and he is now a poisonous snake living in our county king's mansion. I suspect that he also participated in the last military ration incident. He just wants to cut off our father and son in the northwest, so that his goal will be achieved, as long as you and my father and son die, the title of the king of the county will naturally fall to him. ”

Yaru had been listening to the father and son when they were studying, and she couldn't help but say: "Before delivering the grain, our people saw him entering and leaving the Drunken Immortal Building, and Second Master Wei of Huaiyuan Houfu also often went in and out of the Drunken Immortal Building. They should have discussed this matter of transporting grain. So at that time, when I summarized the news to my father, my father thought that there might be a loss of food and grass. It's also thanks to Daddy for making such a foolproof plan, otherwise we would really have followed their way. ”

Ling Yuanhang took it and said, "It seems that the second uncle has completely boarded the ship of King An. I just don't know, does this grain and grass accident have anything to do with King An?"

King Lingjun said: "There is another key figure, that is, the Warat man named Shang Jin mentioned by Aru, he also appeared in the capital during that period, and I am afraid it will not be an accident." ”

The more they talked, the heavier it became, and finally King Ling Jun said: "When your grandfather was alive, he once instructed that our county palace was not allowed to participate in the competition for the prince, and we were only loyal to the successor chosen by the emperor, but your second uncle took this step. This will affect our entire Ling family, and if we don't get it right, it's a matter of the Nine Clans. Now it's not far from the New Year, and Ayu will get married before the Spring Festival, after the New Year. After the Chinese New Year, we will deal with this matter. Before dealing with this matter, I also told Zheng Tongsheng, let's not make a noise first. ”

Ling Yuanhang and Yaru both nodded in agreement. Then several people walked towards the capital together.

And the dispute between wives and concubines in the second room is also getting more and more intense. The second room now has a wife and five concubines. The two old aunts, Ling Yuanhui is no longer going, he is nostalgic for Aunt He and Aunt Fang every day, these two aunts, one was sent by King An and the other was sent by Wei Zhongping, they are both very coquettish women.

After having these two aunts, Ling Yuanhui didn't go to the Li family's house. The roots of Li's hated teeth itched, and in order to hold her husband, she could only raise her big girl's grass as a room. In this way, Ling Yuanhui occasionally came to Li's room, but when he went to Li's courtyard, he would sit at Li's for a while and then go to Qingcao to sleep. It's useless for Li to be angry again, she has to keep her husband away from those two foxes before settling accounts with Qingcao, she still needs Qingcao now.

In the evening, Ling Yuanhui had just sat down at Li's place, and Li was about to talk to him about Azhu. Aunt Fang's girl went back and forth: "Aunt Fang fainted, please go and see." ”

Ling Yuanhui listened, got up and left. After a while, Ling Yuanhui's little servant went back and forth: "Aunt Fang is pregnant, and the second master is resting over there today." Li angrily scolded the "slut".

The news from the second room quickly reached Yaru, and at this time, Ling Yuanhang and Yaru had just returned from eating at their father's side. Yaru smiled and said to him: "The second uncle is making trouble in this room, and Aunt Fang's child doesn't know if she can live there." I hope this aunt is smart, don't take the child to pet again, and give birth to this child without stopping. ”

Ling Yuanhang also smiled: "Second Uncle wants to enjoy the blessings of Qi people, but how can this blessing of Qi people be so enjoyable?"

Yaru praised him: "It's better to be a husband, and I know that the dispute between wives and concubines is the root cause of the chaos, so our big house is quiet." ”

Yaru's words were very skillful, he not only used praise to please her husband, but also hinted to Ling Yuanhang, "Wife and concubine are the root of the troubled family, in the future, husband, you must not have any thoughts of taking concubines." If you take a concubine, if I am pregnant, I will not even be able to raise the baby. The child will be miscarried when he can't say it. ”

Of course, Ling Yuanhang could hear her voice. However, Ling Yuanhang loves Yaru's cleverness and cunning. Yaru knows how to advance and retreat very well, and her careful tricks never hurt. On the contrary, it makes people feel that many of her words have hidden truths, just like those words just now.

King Lingjun's father and son both understood such a truth very early from what happened to the old king of the county: the dispute between wives and concubines is the root cause of the chaos. If the old county king did not have Qiao Yun at that time, only the old lady herself, there would not have been an old lady who beat Qiao Yun's child, causing Qiao Yun to die early, making the old county king feel that the old lady was ruthless. There will be no husband and wife of the old county king. My grandfather would not have been stationed on the frontier forever, or even died prematurely. Maybe there won't be a series of things that followed.

Ling Yuanhang touched Yaru's head and was about to say something, Yaru suddenly covered her mouth and made a look of wanting to vomit, Ling Yuanhang immediately became nervous: "What's wrong, Ru'er, is it uncomfortable?"

Yaru only felt uncomfortable churning in her stomach at this time, and her face gradually turned pale, and she wanted to vomit but couldn't. Ling Yuanhang was so frightened that he hurriedly went out and called Ah Yuan to ask Doctor Yu. Now Ling Yuanhang and Yaru are used to going to Doctor Yu whenever they feel unwell.

Soon Doctor Yu came, he also looked at Yaru's face, and then sat down to give Yaru a pulse. For a moment, a smile appeared in his expression.

Ling Yuanhang had been paying attention to his expression, and when he saw the change in his expression, he suddenly had a little guess in his heart, so his heart suddenly lifted, and his eyes were full of longing.

After Doctor Yu let go of his other hand, the smile on his face could no longer be hidden, he got up and smiled at Ling Yuanhang and said, "Congratulations to the prince, the princess is this Ximai, it's just that the days are too shallow, it's only been more than a month, but I'm sure this is Ximai." ”

Both husband and wife looked at each other happily. This month's happy pulse, if you want an ordinary doctor to come to the pulse, you may not really be able to see it, and it is very easy to treat these symptoms as a bad appetite, but Dr. Yu is one of the best apricot forest masters in the capital, and he said that if it is, then it must be.
