Chapter 59: Scapegoat (1)

This made Rong Chuan realize that Rong Changning wanted to use this to force Xu Yunqiao to death.

And Bai Chuxi is waiting in the mansion, he can't say if he wants to deal with it, and there is no way to ban Rong Changning's feet, if he is too selfish, Rong Changning is angry, but he turns around and follows Bai Chuxi out of the mansion and into the palace to catch up with the queen, and the wind spreads into the ears of the saint, and things are not simple.

At this time, there was a sobbing voice from the group of maids kneeling on the ground outside: "Master Hou...... Hou Ye, save me. ”

"Who?"

A maid looked up in response: "Master Hou save me, those confessions ...... The slave had to say so, otherwise, the slave and maid's deed would be sent to the kiln outside the city. The slave maid did not want to, let alone be sent to the North Cypriot military camp. ”

In the end, I can't bear the scare, and none of these timid and afraid people want to be the first bird, and when they see the first one, they come out of the second and third, and the voices of shouting grievances come one after another, and the limelight turns and goes straight to Aunt Xu, which is out of control.

Aunt Lin quietly glanced at Rong Changning, and the stone that had been hanging in the hearts of the two of them was half of the ground.

Even with everything that happened in the morning, Rong Chuan, who was sitting on it, suddenly woke up, raised his eyes to look at Xu Yunqiao without saying a word, Xu Yunqiao immediately knelt on the ground and said in fear: "Master Hou! The concubines don't know, these concubines really don't know! It's this girl talking nonsense! It was she who slandered the concubine! ”

"There is a dead person, and it has been a disturbance since the morning." Rong Chuan took out the corner of his clothes that Xu Yunqiao was holding in his hand and looked at the account book on the table: "Do you still need Steward Yang to find the account in the house to have a good pair?" ”

"I ......" Aunt Xu can't do anything under the noses of these people, her watery eyes are rolling in her eyes, just when she glanced at Aunt Yao behind her, Aunt Xu's eyes finally saw hope, she wiped the tears on her face, stood up and said: "Concubine, go and get the account book to prove her innocence!" ”

At this time, Aunt Xu wanted to go out, and she must be trying to find a way to excuse herself, Rong Changning understood the truth of eliminating evil, and didn't want to give her a chance, but her father said: "Okay, you go and get it." ”

When Aunt Xu heard this, she took Aunt Yao towards the gate of the courtyard, walking in a hurry, not giving Rong Changning a chance to speak.

I don't know if it's too stuffy, Aunt Xu couldn't stop panting when she walked on the road, and ran back to Lujia Courtyard half-walking and half-running, and as soon as she entered the bedroom, she closed the door and grabbed Aunt Yao's collar, so frightened that Aunt Yao immediately knelt on the ground: "Aunt ......"

Xu Yunqiao's eyes turned red: "You go." ”

"What?"

"The matter has come to this point, and the Foothill Courtyard can't escape the involvement. Fortunately, those people only said that Footakain didn't mention me, and you go and take everything down. ”

"Auntie! This must cost the life of the slave maid! Aunt Yao was so frightened that she hurriedly kowtowed: "Auntie, the slave maid has followed you since childhood, if the matter is revealed, the slave maid will really only die!" ”

Aunt Xu was angry but slapped it down: "If you don't die, do you want me to die?!" If you die, I can still treat your family well, and they can all live a rich life. Your brother, I will give your brother a Zhuangzi, 100 acres of fertile land, and buy a house for your nephew to marry. When your son grows up, I will find a way to bring him to the imperial city, and if the marquis is promoted and recommended, are you still worried about living a rich life?! If you don't die, then you want me to die, what about after I die? Who did all those things with their own hands, do you think you can hide from them?! ”

Such words shocked Aunt Yao, it turned out that she had followed her master since she was a child, and she had been looking at this from the beginning. So many years of master-servant relationship is really worthless in her eyes.

But think about it, the general trend in the Wanqing Courtyard has been decided, Rong Changning is like a good person, and there is the support of Mrs. Yingguo, the general of Dingbei University, and there is really no good result in continuing to climb the Lujia Courtyard.

I can't pick it up anymore, and Aunt Yao can't think of a good way except to accept her fate. So he let go of the hand that had been holding the corner of Xu Yunqiao's skirt, raised his hands above his head and bowed at Aunt Xu's feet: "Auntie, I have been with you since I was ten years old, and now that the situation is compelling, the slave will do the last thing for you, Auntie." Just look at my aunt, don't forget what I said today, otherwise the slave will ...... Even if you are a ghost, you have to find a result. ”

Xu Yunqiao also knelt opposite Aunt Yao: "Okay, I promise you, I will keep my word." You can go with confidence, everything has me. As long as I am saved, your children and my children will be saved. Your mother-in-law's mother's family, all the wealth and wealth are waiting behind. ”

Saying that, Aunt Xu ran to the cabinet and took out a few account books from the previous year and stuffed them into Aunt Yao's hand: "You stun me, and then run out, you don't need me to teach you the rest of the matter, right?!" ”

Aunt Yao nodded with a heavy expression, and looked out the window, waiting for a few dead contract slaves, who were also at the end of their lives.

She took off the bracelet on her hand and handed it to Xu Yunqiao: "Auntie, you must give this to my son, along with the money in my room." ”

"Okay." Aunt Xu took Aunt Yao's bracelet with red eyes, and the tears Cen Cen held Aunt Yao's hand tightly as if she was reluctant: "Such a great grace, I will never forget it in this life!" ”

Aunt Yao nodded, touched the candlestick next to her hand, gritted her teeth and smashed it towards Xu Yunqiao's forehead.

There was an exclamation in the courtyard, Aunt Yao ran towards the back door with the account book, and after a few rounds of dealing with those house slaves, she was finally pressed to the ground, and Aunt Xu was smashed on her head, and the blood on her forehead covered half of her face, and she lay in front of the door and watched Aunt Yao being arrested.

Her heart finally settled down, and she closed her eyes peacefully.

The people in the Wanqing Courtyard were still waiting, and Rong Ling and the maid kneeling on the ground thought that after this incident, Aunt Xu was completely finished. Battle

Rong Chuan's expression couldn't see anything, he looked at Rong Changning across the case, and finally only said: "You must make the whole family ugly?" ”

"What did my father say about this? My daughter didn't want to do that either. ”

"You asked Bai Chuxi to wait in the front hall, are you afraid that others will not know about the matter in our backyard?"

"I just have a marriage contract with General Bai, and he still doesn't want to protect my face, and my father wants to open an ancestral hall to beat me because of a concubine." Rong Changning asked rhetorically without being humble or arrogant: "My father still wants me to risk my life to save the face of the Hou Mansion, is it good to say?" ”

"You ......"

"Does my father think that there is no longer as peaceful life in this family as when my mother was there?"

“……”

Today's words have come to this, and my daughter simply confessed. In the past, it was the mother who had a lot of forbearance to give the father peace. No matter how much Xu Yunqiao troubles his father and is partial, his mother never cares too much about it. He never went to the Holy One to complain to his father. My mother was sincere to my father, but my father didn't know how to cherish it. always take her generosity for granted, as her weakness. But my mother is also human. Saying that, Rong Changning picked up the tea cup in front of him: "When my mother was there, she also said that there were thousands of mistakes, and she was wrong here." If the father has failed him, he will have to bear the price, and it will be fair. ”

"Changning." Rong Ling whispered to remind Rong Changning not to continue. But Rong Changning refused to shut up: "There is no distinction between grandchildren in any family, and all children are equal." I also told my father that there is a difference between concubines and concubines, and there is a difference between wives and concubines. If you want to ask our grandmother to swallow your anger, you can't do it. ”

"Okay...... All right! Rong Chuan was so angry that he slapped the table: "Now even you dare to shout with me!" Rebel, unfilial son! Just what you just said, you should be thrown into the ancestral hall to think about it! ”

"A father's spoiling concubine and killing his wife can't correct his own body, and his daughter has to do everything smoothly, which is foolishness and filial piety! If the father must talk to his daughter, then let's go and say it in front of the saint! Let's see if the saint knows how depressed his mother was during her lifetime, and will he give his father a good life! It's a big deal, our Hou Mansion is all burning! ”

"You ......" Rong Chuan pointed at Rong Changning, choked in his heart, and couldn't speak, Rong Changning only looked at the man in front of him coldly, if it wasn't for his father, he didn't know how much to hate him.

But he has raised himself for more than ten years, and he also grew up lying on his back.

At this moment, Rong Changning's eyes finally moistened, maybe he shouldn't have said this, but he just couldn't forget what his mother said on her deathbed, let alone her father's heavy hand to Ah Ruo.

She hated and was sad. It's not that she can't cry, it's just that her mother doesn't let her cry and buries everything in her heart.

Steward Yang hurriedly helped Rong Chuan to calm down, and swallowed a sip of tea before gradually relieving himself.

The house slave who happened to go with Aunt Xu to get the account book walked into the door, said a few words in front of Steward Yang and went out again.

Steward Yang said: "Master Hou, Aunt Yao beside Aunt Xu knocked Aunt Xu unconscious with a candlestick, and wanted to run away with the account book, but was caught by the little girl. ”

Rong Changning bit the corner of his mouth, and a trace of blood echoed in his mouth, in the end, Xu Yunqiao had a loophole.

Rong Chuan waved his hand and called for someone to be brought in, and saw Aunt Yao being dragged into the yard with her hands and feet tied, her expression was panicked, her eyes were ownerless, the corners of her mouth trembled, and she didn't dare to say anything.

Rong Chuan leaned forward slightly and asked, "What are you doing robbing the account book?" ”

"Nothing."

"What are you not doing?" Rong Chuan breathed a sigh of relief and leaned on the mat to take a look, as if he had exhausted his patience with the complexity of the backyard, and only said to Steward Yang: "Please do the family law, and beat until she says it." ”

"Yes."

The staff was taken from the main courtyard, and several people held down Aunt Yao and beat her hands one by one. Except for one scream after another, no other movement was heard in the courtyard.

If a person faints, he wakes up with a basin of cold water and continues to fight.

In the end, the person finally couldn't stand it, and Aunt Yao stretched out her hand to beg for mercy.

Steward Yang waved his hand to stop the executioner: "Master Hou is merciful, if you are willing to tell the truth, I may be able to spare your life." ”

"I ......" Aunt Yao's flesh and blood were blurred, Rong Ling didn't dare to look at it, but Rong Changning stared at her tightly to see what she could say.

"Second Miss...... The things in the yard of the eldest lady and the little boy were deducted by me. Originally, these things were distributed with silver...... My aunt will leave it to me. Seeing that I was getting rich, I changed my account and sent my things out for sale. ”
