Chapter 63: It's Not Your Son Who Died
Tang Heng pulled his sister away and said sadly: "Yun'er, calm down, Ziqian unfortunately lost his footing and died, and I, who was an uncle, are also very sad, but no matter how sad people are, they can't be resurrected after death, you should take Ziqian back to the ground as soon as possible, instead of continuing to be crazy and bite indiscriminately." ”
"No, I won't go back," Tang Yun roared, "It's not your son who died, how can you understand that pain, if you can't find the murderer, I will never go back." ”
This is a heart-wrenching statement.
Tang Heng has always favored this younger sister, and the officialdom has also taken care of her family everywhere, and she has nothing to say about the two nephews, and she is about to catch up with the treatment of her own son.
Take today's incident as an example, after Tang Heng learned about it, he immediately summoned everyone and interrogated them strictly, even ignoring Tang Yun's wanton beating and venting, just to make her feel better, but now she actually said that it was not your son who died!
Tang Heng's sad face crossed a trace of disappointment, but it was only for a moment, and he began to continue to persuade his sister again.
Maybe my sister is just too sad to say anything.
Tang Yun violently pushed away his brother who was holding him, took the rattan whip and began to pump it indiscriminately, and kept roaring in his mouth, "You hurt my son, you deserve to die, you deserve to die, you all deserve to die." ”
The maids and servants in the first few rows had received many whips and whips, but still none of them dared to beg for mercy.
The most pitiful thing is that the two little guys who followed Wen Ziqian yesterday were dying, some of them were out of breath, and even Tang Yanyu was whipped twice, Tang Yun thought that it must be Tang Yanyu who failed to seduce his younger son, but was punished, so he was unwilling to seduce his eldest son again, just to retaliate.
"That's enough," Tang Heng snatched the rattan whip she waved indiscriminately, and said angrily: "Even if you beat all these servants to death, Ziqian won't survive." ”
Tang Heng's roar was like thunder on the ground, and the servants and servants below the shock shrank for a moment, and Tang Yun's dilated pupils slowly gained focus.
She sat down on the ground dejectedly, like a fierce beast stripped of its sharp teeth, desperate and sad, her eyes were full of tears, and murmured: "Impossible, impossible, brother, my son Qian talked to me well yesterday, why did I disappear overnight, brother, how calm do you let me calm down, how calm !! ”
Aunt Yun, who was still high above yesterday, suddenly seemed to be much older, like an ordinary old woman who lost her beloved son, she was crawling on the ground and beating her feet and crying, her shoulders shrugged, and the maid next to her stepped forward and took a clean handkerchief to wipe away the dirt mixed with snot and tears on her face.
Wen Zijie was shocked in his heart, but he still had a sad look on his face, and he kept kneeling beside his stiff brother and wept silently.
In fact, the two brothers have always had a good relationship without interests, but once it is time to inherit the family business in the future, it is inevitable that there will be discord, and the father and mother both prefer the eldest brother, which faintly makes him have a trace of jealousy and dissatisfaction, but now the elder brother has died inexplicably, and for him, the joy is greater than the sadness, and after that, the Wen family has only one son in him, and no one will fight with him anymore.
Tang Yanning also behaved very gloomily on the side, but her heart was indifferent, her beloved son died, and she longed for all the servants to be buried with her, so the lives of those people she disregarded were not other people's beloved sons and daughters.
Tang Heng motioned for Wen to step forward to appease his sister, and interrogated the kneeling servants again, saying that if there was anyone who knew about it, once it was found out that all the canes were killed, the servants were panicked, and they shook their heads, still saying that they didn't know.
Tang Heng's interrogation was fruitless, he shook his head and gave up, it seems that it is very likely that his nephew climbed the rockery by himself when he was drunk, and he didn't die.
In fact, when Tang Yanning didn't come just now, Tang Heng had already interrogated him, only Wen Ziqian's personal servant said truthfully, yesterday the son suddenly said that his jade pendant was missing, and let him and the third lady's maidservant go to the front yard to look for it. I went to the backyard to look for it, and the little guy saw that the light in the child's house was not on after finding the jade pendant, thinking that the son was tired and rested first, so he put the jade pendant on himself, thinking that he would take it to the son in the morning, who knew that the son was not in bed in the morning, and then he faintly felt that something was wrong, and then the news of the death of the son came from the front yard.
Tang Heng tried it again, just to see if there were any clues.
He waved his hand and absconded all his subordinates, and gave each of the servants who had been wounded by the whip an extra two taels, and the two beaten and dying servants each received a subsidy of ten taels to recuperate from their wounds.
The servants left in a hurry as if they had been amnestied, each performing their duties, and they didn't want to dangle in front of Tang Yun for a moment.
Tang Yanyu covered the whiplash wounds on his arms and left full of grievances.
Tang Yanning's eyes instead focused on Dong Xue.
Dongxue was knocked out by himself yesterday and did not witness the battle of the gazebo, so he was not sold.
It's just that her cheeks are swollen, the corners of her mouth are bruised, and she walks a little staggeringly, when she returned to Meiyuan after waking up yesterday, she was severely punished by Tang Yanyu.
She felt a little guilty, although Dongxue served by Tang Yanyu's side, her nature didn't seem to be bad.
A group of people in the front yard dispersed, Tang Heng instructed the servant to use a good coffin for his nephew to bury, and personally sent his sister back to the house, although the nephew died suddenly by accident, but after all, he died in his own house, he felt guilty, and ordered someone to prepare a lot of generous gifts as compensation.
When Wende saw the coffin, he almost fainted, holding the coffin and Tang Yun wept bitterly, feeling resentful in his heart, and he didn't dare to show it too much on his face, after all, he would have to rely on this brother to promote his own family in the future, so he could only grit his teeth and give up.
After Tang Yanning returned to Qiuyuan, the maids had already re-prepared breakfast, and she thought while eating, it was also Wen Ziqian's own sin.
He was bent on defiling himself and not letting everyone find out, so he deliberately avoided all the servants and quietly followed her, which led to no one in the mansion knowing that he fell behind the rockery.
The hexagonal red lanterns that were still hanging high in the wind yesterday have all been replaced with white lanterns today, and the originally joyful atmosphere in the house has suddenly become lifeless, and everywhere is white.
Tang Heng attaches great importance to this sister, so he also set up a mourning hall for his nephew in the house to mourn for three days.
Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and the servants in the house were busy removing the white lanterns that had been replaced before and replacing them with red lanterns as before, and the whispered complaints of the little servants could be faintly heard.
Tang Heng's mood has also been affected since his sister lost her beloved son, and his face has become more and more bad in recent days, and the people are trembling, for fear of making mistakes in the house.
In fact, Tang Heng was not a cruel master, otherwise he would not have stopped Tang Yun when he wantonly whipped those servants.
He has been immersed in officialdom for many years, and he has long adapted to the darkness of officialdom, and he can surprisingly be able to maintain a trace of pity for inferior servants, which is also very surprising to Tang Yanning.
After Gu Huaisheng left the Prime Minister's Mansion that day, he went to the Moon Restaurant and asked Jin Niang to help him do something.
Mochizuki Restaurant is the largest restaurant in the capital, a place for dignitaries to spend time and eat, the price of an ordinary vegetarian dish, is the income of ordinary people for half a year, it can be described as a typical gold cave, and Jin Niang is the proprietress of this gold cave.
Jin Niang's maiden name is Su Jin, she is nineteen years old, and familiar people call her Jin Niang.
Brother Gu, who hadn't seen him for many days, suddenly came to visit, Jin Niang was very happy, personally greeted him, took him to Yunlan Pavilion, which had been reserved for him, and ordered the guys to serve the latest refreshments, and the two began to sit down and greet for a while.
Hearing that Brother Gu needed her help, Jin Niang was a little surprised.
Over the years, Brother Gu has rarely bothered to do things by herself, and it is rare that she needs help with something, she is very happy, and asked with a smile: "Brother Gu, what do you need me to do, just say, Jin Niang will definitely do it for you." ”
Gu Huaisheng chuckled, "This matter, it is estimated that only you can handle it." ”
When Jin Niang heard this, her eyes were shining with light and admiration, "What's the matter, Brother Gu." ”
"I want you to help me buy a dowry, what is the general process for this young lady in Beijing to get married?"
Jin Niang's original flower-like smile stiffened slightly when she heard the dowry but quickly disappeared, and she continued to smile: "Is Brother Gu going to get married?" ”
After many years of socializing, she has already learned to hide her emotions, and even her admiration for Brother Gu is not leaked.
Taking a sip of the latest Yuhua tea, his always cold eyes brought a hint of a smile, and said, "Yes, it's August 24, it's in a hurry." ”
Jin Niang pretended to be angry: "Why are you in such a hurry? I haven't heard you mention it before, Brother Gu is too out-of-the-box. ”
Gu Huaisheng put down the teacup and said apologetically, "If I didn't mean to hide it from you, I didn't expect it to be so soon." ”
"What do you mean by that?"
"You know that I originally had a marriage contract with the eldest lady of the Tang family, but the two families have no intention of doing so over the years, so I asked the eldest brother to help me withdraw, who knows that the eldest brother is self-defeating, not only did not retreat, but became a propose, since I have already agreed, I don't want to refuse too much, so let's decide, the right to complete the friendship of the two patriarchs!"
Is it Tang Yanqing?
Tang Yanqing Jinniang has seen it, although she is gentle and generous on the surface, but she is jealous and narrow-minded in her bones, and her eyes are above the top, how could she suddenly agree to this marriage contract that has never been eye-catching?
She actually knew about Brother Gu's marriage contract, but because of Tang Yanqing's character, she knew that Brother Gu would be disdainful, so why did the two parties suddenly agree?
Jin Niang pondered and said: "Brother Gu, it's not that Jin Niang doesn't bless you, then the eldest lady of the Tang family also has a slight intersection, her eyes are above the top, she is narrow-minded, this kind of temperament is not a good match." ”
Gu Huaisheng smiled faintly, "It's not her, it's the third lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion who is married to me." ”
Miss Three?
The legendary and in-depth straw bale three misses?
Jin Niang was even more puzzled, and Gu Huaisheng explained in detail with a smile.
