Chapter 50: Father's Confession
Du Penghui didn't expect his daughter to ask some shocking questions for her age as soon as she spoke.
But look at her again, her head is tied with a ribbon, many strange little braids, wearing a set of pink clothes, she obviously looks slender and thin, but in her dark and bright eyes, it is unusually bright.
Maybe my daughter is already precocious, right? Du Penghui thought so.
He coughed a few times, and then said, "If I didn't have love, I wouldn't have married her in the first place." β
Wanyi pursed her lips, her eyes obviously full of disbelief.
Du Penghui's heart was shocked, and he suddenly became impatient: "You little child, why are you asking this?" β
"Then father, do you continue to treat Wanyi as a daughter now?"
Du Penghui was completely angry: "If not, you wouldn't be sitting here!" β
Wanyi looked at him calmly: "Then if Wanyi is hurt, will my father stand up for Wanyi?" β
Du Penghui suddenly realized: "Oh, do you think that this time, Fu'er was punished lightly?" β
"Wanyi, Fu'er?" Wanyi muttered and repeated, and a bit of ridicule crept up the corners of her mouth: "Father, Du Fu, as a concubine, let the dog try to bite the concubine to death on the Zhuangzi, and then secretly changed the concubine's injury medicine." After coming back, he provoked his daughter-in-law several times, and instructed someone to push her into the water.
The father said that his father regarded Wanyi as his daughter, so why is the murderer who killed his daughter, Du Fu, who is still a concubine, still there? β
"Isn't she half dead? What more do you want? Du Penghui became excited, got up and knocked a bowl of tea to the ground.
Wanyi let go, and then pursed her lips, with a calm face:
"It's nothing, Wanyi just thinks that Wanyi, the concubine, is doing a wretched and frightened.
So I came to beg my father to give Wanyi a letter of severance from the father-daughter relationship, so that Wanyi could get out of the fire pit of Bofu. β
"Impossible!" Du Penghui was so angry that he walked back and forth a few times, and then stopped in front of Wanyi, and said condescendingly: "My Bofu girl, how can there be a reason to live on the street?" β
"But what is the difference between you and forcing Wanyi to die? It's better to let Wanyi have a way to live, and it won't be in vain for Wanyi to give birth to your name! β
"Say no more! I'll give you an explanation about Douff! After Du Penghui finished speaking, he immediately called someone: "Come on, send the second girl back to the yard." β
The little guy outside the door, hearing the sound of quarrel inside, was already trembling, and hurriedly ran in when he heard the words. Seeing Du Penghui, who was red-faced, his expression became more and more cautious.
Seeing this, Wanyi was too lazy to deal with Du Penghui anymore, turned around and left.
When he went out, the little guy asked, "Second girl, what were you arguing with your uncle just now?" β
Wanyi glanced at him, and then spat him angrily: "What's your business!" β
Ah Luo and Liu Wu on the side, seeing the girl's angry look, hurriedly came over and asked, "Girl, are you okay?" β
Wanyi waved her hand impatiently and walked forward quickly.
Out of the courtyard of Du Penghui's study, Wanyi told Ah Luo and Liu Wu: "Let's come to the study, don't tell anyone, do you know?" β
But when Wanyi returned to Qiuhua Courtyard, two mothers-in-law came to invite Wanyi.
One of them is a person from the old lady's faction, and the other is a person from the Yuan family.
Wanyi sat on the chair and said with a tired look: "When my grandmother and mother asked me to go, they must have asked me what I was doing at my father's place?"
Trouble the two grandmothers to go back and tell me, Wanyi just went to see her father, and there was nothing to do, so that grandmother and mother could rest assured! β
The two mothers-in-law are both human spirits, and they all laughed when they heard this: "This question is not a thing, it is really the old lady (lady) who misses the girl, so she asked the girl to go over and talk." β
"In that case, then trouble the two grandmothers to confess their sins for Wanyi, Wanyi's body is not yet thorough, and she has walked for another day, and now she is very tired, so she will not go!"
The two mothers-in-law had no choice but to look at each other with contempt, and then left in a huff.
As soon as the two mothers-in-law left, the Feng family sent someone to say that the three girls liked the pastries that Wanyi sent yesterday, and asked where Wanyi bought them?
"I heard from my mother-in-law that she bought it in the hands of a merchant at the east end of Tuma Street." Wanyi was patient and talked nonsense.
The woman didn't realize it and left happily.
In the evening, Du Penghui asked someone to send a purple wooden box to Wanyi, and by the way, he said that the maids and women in Du Fu's yard had all been replaced.
Wanyi turned to open the box and found that it was a stack of silver tickets.
She hurriedly closed the box, turned around and asked the little guy, "Where is Xia He?" β
The little girl replied: "The four big girls around the big girl were all killed with a cane. β
"The old lady didn't stop it?"
"Nope." The little guy only replied with two words.
"Are you going to get busy?"
"Yes!"
The little girl silently looked at Wanyi, who was holding the purple wooden box, and silently retreated.
When Ah Luo and Liu Fu came in, Wanyi had already put away the box.
"Girl, what did the uncle send someone to do?" Arlo asked curiously.
Wanyi said: "I was wronged, of course my father sent someone to comfort me. β
Speaking of this, she suddenly changed her words: "Father said that the four big girls around Du Fu were all killed, how are you going to see Xia He?" β
Such a loyal maid, although it is Du Fu who is loyal. But if the rod is killed, Wanyi still feels a little pity.
Seeing the girl's look of pity, Ah Luo said a little unhappily:
"Girl, have you forgotten how Xia He hurt you? Now that she's dead, the girl should be happy! β
"Alasββ!" Wanyi sighed, and then said, "It's really hard to be a maid!" β
Even if she is loyal to be a maid, she is more involuntary than her, an embarrassing girl.
Liu Wu persuaded: "Girl! Xia He is a tiger fighter, but she is innocent of death, why do you lament her today? β
Don't you think she hurt you enough?
Wanyi turned around and stared at them fixedly: "But she is doing something for her master!" β
Liu Fu and Ah Luo were very sure at this time: their girl's brain, after being flooded, was really flooded!
Seeing that the two maids were looking at herself with strange eyes, Wanyi had no choice but to change the topic.
After sending away the two maids, Wanyi took out the purple wooden box, took out the silver tickets and counted them one by one.
She counted back and forth several times, and finally determined: The silver ticket sent by Du Penghui was a full five hundred taels.
Five hundred taels to buy Duf's life? Wanyi's eyes were cold: This Du Penghui is really generous here!
