Chapter 13 The Dawn of the Edge
When Qin Li heard this, he was overjoyed. However, he didn't show it on his face, and asked pretending to be puzzled:
"Mother, hearing you say that, Wan's should be a good lisuo. The things that her second brother caused were not clear in a few words. Let's take advantage of the fact that Wan is still in the mansion at this time and go and talk to her about the dissolution of the marriage contract. ”
Guo's face was embarrassed, "Li'er, let's ask someone to solve this matter in private, it's more appropriate." ”
As soon as he heard this, Qin Li suddenly felt very uncomfortable in his heart.
Yes, her father is the master in the academy, and her marriage to Fu Yu is a family affair between the Qin and Fu families. If they want to break the marriage contract, it is better to discuss each other in private, and it is better not to shout about it to the whole city.
lest they be laughed at.
In this dynasty, the emperor reused the civil servants, and the status of the literati was generally relatively high.
The land of Jiayu has produced talented people since ancient times, and Jiayu City is a treasure land of champions. The former Jiayu Academy, which is now Yuexi Academy, can be said to be the largest imperial examination venue in the world.
Her grandfather, who was admitted from Jiayu in his early years, was still the champion hand-picked by the founding king.
Her father was also a champion in his early years, and later returned to his hometown and donated money to build Yuexi Academy. On weekdays, he is kind and charitable, and has helped many poor students.
Among the students who had received help from her father, there were also some who were officials in the imperial city.
As soon as a few people heard that the master's family was going to hold a happy event, they also wrote that the trust family members came to her house and sent congratulatory gifts early.
Now, she has encountered these bad things, and the marriage contract is about to be dissolved. Her mother didn't want to go to the government office to solve the problem, because she didn't want to lose face.
But Wan's ability to "wake up" depends on her continuous efforts behind the scenes.
If she wants to write down the evil things that Wan's second brother, Wan Hongji did behind his back, in a letter for the third son to see. Can the third prince know what Wan Hongji, the wicked man, has done behind his back?
Qin Li stretched out his hand to hold Guo's hand and said softly:
"Mother, if my grandfather is still alive, then let's go and ask someone to talk about it, and it will be easy to solve it. But the problem is that my grandfather is gone. ”
Speaking of this, Qin Li vaguely remembered one thing, before the elders decided for her and Fu Yu, they seemed to have hired a matchmaker according to the local rules.
She couldn't remember who the matchmaker was.
Taking advantage of Guo's presence, he asked:
“……”
Guo shook his head, "Whoever you invite, it's better to invite the patriarch of the Fu clan to come." Even if Fu Yu's father is a magistrate, he can't help but listen to the words of their patriarch. ”
Qin Li didn't say it clearly, objected, but kindly reminded him:
"That person's words, of course Fu Zhixian wants to listen. Otherwise, Fu Zhixian would not have come to our house several times for that person in these years to borrow silver taels from his father. so that they can build a more spacious house for that man, and marry off their daughter-in-law......"
Now, that person lives in a spacious house, and his concubine is married off beautifully and deciously as they wish.
The people of the Kefu clan, including the patriarch, after receiving the help of her father, did they come to the door to thank them?
Not really!
When Guo Shi heard this, he didn't hesitate any longer and said:
"Okay, Li'er, listen to you for my mother. Let's go to the government and ask them to make decisions for us. ”
Half an hour later.
Qin Li and her mother rode in the same carriage and came to the door of the mansion.
After getting out of the carriage, Qin Li, supported by her mother, walked into the gate of the mansion.
On the way to the hall, Guo Shi instructed Qin Li:
"When you enter the hall after a while and see Wan's, no matter what Wan's says, try not to reason with Wan's. There are some things that should not be mentioned by you, a woman who has not yet left the cabinet, but should be told to them by us as elders. ”
Qin Li listened patiently, even if she didn't remember, Guo Shi had said this to her several times, but she still didn't show the slightest impatience.
The two mothers and daughters came to the door of the hall of the palace and went to the hall under the leadership of a woman in red.
The hall was extremely quiet, except for the question of an old man, I could only hear the sound of those officials standing in the hall shouting "might~martial~".
Qin Li saw that the officials were standing in two teams, and they were still standing very neatly.
wanted to see where Wan was standing, but the two officials crossed her with killing sticks, blocking her and her mother in place.
The female soldier who led them in gave Qin Li and Guo Shi a look to remind them to wait in the room next to her.
Qin Li and Guo had no choice but to comply.
When the mother and daughter entered the room next to the hall, the female soldier made a cup of green tea for each of them, and told them:
"Mrs. Qin, Miss Qin, you sit here for a while and taste tea. When Lord Shi and the third prince come, I will take you to the hall again. ”
Qin Li and Guo Shi thanked each other repeatedly.
Sitting in the hall, Qin Li soon heard the woman's cry, which was very sad.
"Woo woo...... my lord, my brother is wronged. The woman knows that he is an honest man. Because he was honest, diligent and diligent, he was introduced to the prefect and came to work as an errand boy. He didn't set up a banquet in Huayue Tower in the name of picking up the wind and washing the dust for Lord Shi of the Imperial City......"
It was Wan's voice.
As soon as Qin Li heard Wan's words, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
If she didn't have evidence, how could she casually write to the third prince and tell her about Wan's second brother, Wan Hongji, doing some evil things behind his back?
Since she dared to write those things out and let the third prince know, she was not afraid that the Wan family would not admit it.
Qin Li soon heard the old man's voice, which was extremely serious:
"Fu Wanshi, when you say this, you blame the official for wronging a good person, shouldn't someone kidnap Wan Hongji, a thief?"
"My lord, that's not what the women meant."
Wan Shi hastened to defend himself.
"Bang." The sound of a startled wooden slap on the desk was heard.
Qin Li heard the adult's words again:
"This is the government office, and no one is allowed to spill here. Fu Wanshi, the official has the shopkeeper of Huayue Mansion to testify, proving that your second brother Fu Hongji booked a banquet in Huayue Mansion five days ago in the name that the prefect was going to receive the Shi adults of the imperial city in the restaurant. ”
"Come on, take this food list and this account book to Fu Wan's and take a look. Let her see clearly: how honest she is as an honest person. actually ate more than 100 taels of silver in one meal, how could he be a small official, how could he squander money like this? ”
Hearing this, Qin Li and Guo Shi exchanged glances with each other. In the face of the facts, looking at Wan's vicious woman, how can she deny it?
When they settle the matter of Wan Hongji, they will soon be able to help her and Fu Yu break off the marriage contract.
