Chapter 753: Empathy
Xie Yinghui was dumbfounded when she heard this: "This, this, this...... How so? These words are all slander, right?! ”
Xie Mulin thought for a moment: "Could it be that the woman's family has climbed into some high-ranking family and doesn't want to continue the marriage contract, but she is afraid of being blamed, so she deliberately poured dirty water on Huang Yan so that she can get out with a high-sounding reason?" "This kind of plot is very common!
Xie Yinghui was stunned, then showed an indignant expression, and looked at Song and Xie Meijun: "Is that really the case?!" ”
Song looked at Xie Mulin with some surprise, and Xie Meijun smiled beside her: "Sister Zhen'er, really guess!" How did you come up with the idea? ”
Of course, Xie Mulin couldn't say that he saw it, so he could only say haha: "Grandmother, aunt and brother all praise Huang Juren's character and behavior, if he really did something wrong, you can't praise him like this." If he's right, it's someone else who is wrong. Thinking of the half-said family affairs of his family, it is natural to have such speculations. ”
Xie Meijun said: "Isn't that exactly the case?!" In fact, the family affair was just an exchange of Geng posts, and it has not yet been decided, Huang Ziheng wants to keep filial piety, and it is not a big deal to dissolve the marriage contract in the name of filial piety. But the family said it too beautifully before, and it was not good to regret it temporarily, which caused criticism. In order not to hurt their own reputation, they can only hurt Huang Ziheng's reputation. This is also because he saw that his family was holding a funeral, but there were not many relatives and friends to help him, and he was weak to bully his orphans and widows! ”
Although Huang's father also made a lot of friends during his lifetime, and his relationship with his colleagues was very good, and Huang Yan also knew a few like-minded classmates in Guozijian, but because the former father-in-law had said beautiful things in front of people and behaved like a loyal and righteous gentleman, most people were confused by him, thinking that since he was a righteous gentleman, the accusation against Huang Yan must not be a fabricated lie, not a misunderstanding, or Huang Yan did make a mistake. In addition, the family found some so-called witnesses to accuse Huang Yan of doing some indecent things outside, and Huang Yan had gone out of the city to the temple to do things for his father's funeral several times, except for his own family, few could prove his whereabouts, and he was a little speechless for a while. Even if he woke up afterwards and realized that the family was deliberately cheating on him, the people present at the time would have already left a bad impression on him.
Most of Huang's father's friends misunderstood Huang Yan, and the few who believed in him couldn't be trusted. His teachers and classmates in Guozijian believed him, but his decision not to deal with the woman's parents made some of them angry, thinking that he was too cowardly and unscrupulous, and after the quarrel, they stopped interacting with him. Huang Yan also had to be busy with helping the soul return to his hometown, not only taking care of his sick mother, but also dealing with the houses and properties in the capital, and sending his servants, so he really didn't have the spare energy to defend himself. Before he left the capital, he only had time to ask those local ruffians who believed in his deceased father's old friends and brought to justice those ruffians who had framed him for false testimony, and then he drifted away.
Xie Meijun sighed: "After Huang Ziheng came out of filial piety, he was under the command of the political envoy of Beiping, and almost all of his past affairs were inquired clearly, and even a few deflated people who had committed perjury back then were re-found and asked who was behind them, so your father had heard about it a long time ago, and he once asked Huang Ziheng in person, why didn't he bother with that family at that time?" Huang Ziheng said that he had intended to withdraw from the marriage, the woman was one year older than him, and she was already in her prime, if she waited for him to get married again after filial piety, she would be an old girl. If the woman insists on the marriage contract, of course he will not break the contract, but there is no need to delay others. His mother was a little reluctant, afraid that he would not find such a good daughter-in-law after keeping filial piety in his hometown, but in the end he was convinced. Originally, he planned to wait for the funeral to be completed and when he was ready to leave Beijing, he would send Geng Tie back, which also saved the family from bothering to persuade him to dispel his mind, but he didn't expect it...... He thinks too well of people! ”
Huang Yan had no intention of continuing the marriage contract, and since the other party wanted to retreat, he naturally had no reason to insist. As for the other party's framing, he just felt that no matter what the other party had, the funeral of his deceased father was indeed handled smoothly thanks to the help of the other party. He is still grateful for this kindness. Although the two families are now grudging again, the grievances are offset by each other, and no one owes anyone, so there is no need to continue to entangle. His father's friends all believe in him, and Guozijian's teachers and classmates also understand his character, and those who misunderstand him are not very close, and if they misunderstand, they will misunderstand, anyway, time will always prove everything. Not to mention that before he left Beijing, he had already sent the perjury to prison. Most of my father's colleagues are officials of Dali Temple, and when they see this situation, they can also think of what the truth is.
Xie Yinghui listened silently and didn't say anything for a long time. She couldn't help but think of herself, when something happened to the Xie family, why weren't she and her brother betrayed by her mother and relatives and friends from other families? Her cousin Cao Wenheng, who made a marriage contract with her for the sake of profit, also had treachery. It's just that she is much luckier than Huang Yan, she still has her father and brothers and sisters to rely on, and Pingnanbo Mansion will kill herself if she does a lot of injustice, and she will end up well. In comparison, how isolated Huang Yan was at the beginning! But he persevered and overcame all the tribulations......
When Xie Yinghui was silently thinking about Huang Yan, Xie Mulin, who was not very satisfied with eating melons, asked the point again: "What happened to the family that poured sewage on Huang Juren?" Did the girl in his family climb into some big family? ”
Xie Meijun said: "It's really a big family! is a little son from the Hou Mansion, saying that he met by chance, and the other party took a fancy to his girl and intended to marry! That family is still a relative of the emperor, and the old feudal lord of the family is still the eldest princess! ”
Xie Yinghui hurriedly asked, "Which one is it?" ”
Xie Meijun replied: "It seems to be the eldest princess of Lechang's family." ”
"It turned out to be his house!" Xie Yinghui pursed her lips and said to Xie Mulin, "The one who competed for the position of the crown princess with the crown princess Xue and the Lan family back then was the granddaughter of the eldest princess of Lechang. However, the grandchildren of the eldest princess of Lechang are not a good thing, just a beautiful face, and her reputation in private has always been not very good. People in the circle of the clan and royal relatives all know that his family rules are not good, and most of his children and grandchildren are greedy and lustful. The family who framed Huang Ziheng must have come to Beijing from other places to be an official, and he had no foundation, right? If it is a serious official eunuch, you can hear some rumors. Anyone who really loves his daughter will never marry her into that family! ”
Xie Meijun said in surprise: "It turns out that Sister Hui knows? You're right. When Ziheng was filial, the girl had been married for two years, had no heirs, and was squeezed out by the concubine's room, and her life was not good, and there was a good concubine who wanted to take her and almost talk to someone else about it, and slandered her in front of men. Her mother's family was worried that her status in her in-law's family was unstable, so she didn't know what to do, and asked others to take Huang Ziheng's place in Guozijian, so that he couldn't re-enter the prison to study! His mentor and classmates wrote to him about this. Soon after that, he served as a staff member for the political envoy of Beiping. ”
Huang Yan made a quick decision and found a reliable backer for himself. With the political envoy of Beiping to support him, even if the family can get rid of his national prison quota, there is no way to hinder his future. A few years have passed, and he has successfully returned to the capital as a new imperial examination, reconnected with his former teachers and classmates, and is about to participate in next year's Spring Festival, and his future is bright. The people who once stood in his way no longer affect him.
