Chapter 40 She Xinlian
When Wei Wei came back, it was already past the hour, looking at the suspenders that Yuan Xuan had slipped down to half of his arm, and the chest that was about to come out, his lower abdomen was hot.
I was about to lean over to do something, when I suddenly saw her frowning and pouting and muttering. Then he rolled over, closed his eyes and went back to sleep.
Looking at her quiet side face, Wei Wei smiled bitterly and lowered his head to kiss her red lips.
In the next few days, Yuan Xuan hardly saw Wei Wei's figure, he was very busy, his busy feet did not leave the ground, he was already gone when she woke up in the morning, and he would not come back until he fell asleep.
On the day of his birthday, she was busy all afternoon and prepared a birthday cake for him, wanting to surprise him. But she waited until midnight, drowsy, and he didn't come back.
On the second day, she asked Qiao'er to inquire in the front yard, and she learned that he was temporarily out of the city and would not come back until two days.
On April 13, she slept until midnight and woke up thirsty to find herself in his arms, and she knew that he had returned.
Yuan Xuan knew that Zheng Haiyang was not here these days, so big and small things were piled up on him. She understands his hard work very well, rarely bothering him, and only occasionally asks Qiao'er to bring him some afternoon desserts.
She is doing well, she can eat and sleep, and she has gained weight in just a few days.
In the blink of an eye, on April 22, Wei Wei no longer looked preoccupied, but excited.
As soon as he saw Yuan Xuan, he couldn't help it, laughed and went to pick her up, and spun around several times in a row.
Yuan Xuan hugged her neck and couldn't cry or laugh, and when he stopped, he felt dizzy and couldn't help but bend over and retch.
Wei Wei's expression changed, and he asked worriedly, "What's wrong?" ”
Yuan Xuan pressed his chest and glanced at him, and said a little speechlessly: "What do you say? Faint! ”
Then he tidied up his messy clothes, and asked him with a strange face: "By the way, what's wrong with you?" What is so happy? ”
The smile on Wei Wei's face expanded again, and he said with his hands behind his back a little proudly: "I told Haiyang what he did, he did it very well, and the Holy Lord has already questioned Lonely Tuo." ”
Haiyang said in the letter that if it weren't for the King of Jin and the Empress interceding for Lonely Tuo together, he would definitely die this time! However, it is a good result to be able to dismiss him as a civilian.
Recalling that Lonely Tuo had been inferior to him, Wei Wei's eyes flashed, and he was quite regretful! After all, he still hopes to kill him in one fell swoop!
Yuan Xuan was stunned when he heard this, Lonely Tuo? Didn't Haihua say that he was the queen's own brother? With such a noble identity, can it be calculated by Wei Wei so easily?
"Is he dead?" Yuan Xuan asked with a frown after coming back to his senses.
Wei Wei shook his head slightly, snorted and said, "He didn't die, because the King of Jin and the Empress interceded for him, and the Holy Lord forgave him for his capital crimes." However, Tsui Hark and his sister have been executed, and there will be no more troubles.
There is also Lonely Tuo, who is inevitably guilty of his life, and the Holy Lord has dismissed him as a commoner, and his wife Yang, the Holy Lord has also made her a nun through the family. ”
Thinking of the content of Haiyang's letter, Wei Wei sneered and continued: "Not only that, but a minister once complained that his relatives in his family were killed by a cat ghost worshipped, and the saint thought he was lying at that time, so he angrily repelled him home.
Now Haiyang has already seen this person, and this time it is also because of his cooperation with him that he can solve Lonely Tuo so quickly.
That person is an important official in the court, a person who used to be the king of Jin, and now, he is already my pawn......"
As he spoke, Wei Wei took out an edict from his arms and handed it to Yuan Xuan to signal her to look.
After Yuan Xuan took it, he took a closer look and saw that the above content was: Kill the family of the person who is accused of worshipping cat ghosts, and in the future, anyone who worships cat ghosts, raises poisonous insects, and engages in witchcraft will exile the whole family to the border areas. ”
"The content on this has been posted, and Hou Baihu has already taken people to check door to door, just in time, to find out the rats hiding in the dark." Wei Wei sneered again.
After Wei Wei left, Yuan Xuan suddenly felt that such a day was quite boring, she really just wanted to live a peaceful and stable life, and she didn't like these intrigues, fights and kills.
She sighed, thinking that she hadn't spoken to her mother-in-law for a few days, so she went to her mother-in-law's yard.
Two days later, as soon as Yuan Xuan woke up that day, he heard Qiao'er shouting outside, "Madam, are you up?" The servant has something urgent to tell you. ”
Yuan Xuan shook his neck to wake up, and said to Qiao'er while getting dressed: "I'm already up, come in." ”
After Qiao'er went in, she saw that Yuan Xuan hadn't combed her hair yet, so she waited for her to finish her hair and told her what happened in the yamen.
"Madam, She Xinlian, the third lady of the She family, went to the yamen early this morning to beat the drum and voice her grievances, saying that Gao Yang Gao Xiu, who came out of the cold gate of West Street, was killed by her father She Congyun......"
The She family is one of the new wealthy businessmen in the county, She Congyun's original wife has died, and his stepfamily is the wife and sister of Hou Baihu.
"What does this have to do with me? Could it be that the adults are out of town again? Let me go find someone to adjudicate the case? Yuan Xuan frowned.
"No, you listen to the servant continue. She Xinlian and Gao Xiucai were in love, but her father didn't agree with her marrying Gao Xiucai at all, and cut off her thoughts for you, so he made a plan and beat Gao Xiucai to death.
The main point is that she said that her father did this because her stepmother said Madame, you can't have children. So her father and her stepmother persecuted her to come to our house as a concubine.
She didn't agree, and her father tied her up, and even drugged her, and if she hadn't been clever, she would have lost herself to adults a few days ago. ”
Yuan Xuan was rinsing his mouth with water in his mouth, and he choked on the words and coughed violently.
Seeing this, Qiao'er went to pat her on the back, and when she stopped coughing, she hung her head and waited for her command.
Yuan Xuan frowned, thought for a moment and then got up and said, "Let's go, let's go and have a look, I'm going to see how shameless She Congyun and his wife are." ”
Qiao'er knew that Yuan Xuan hadn't eaten yet, so she wrapped some snacks in a handkerchief and followed her to the yamen.
Yuan Xuan did not enter through the back door, but spared a circle and went to the outside of the yamen.
At this time, the water outside the yamen was surrounded by people, and Yuan Xuan looked for a while before finding a suitable position and squeezing in.
There were also many people in the yamen at this time, and the one sitting under the mirror was naturally Wei Wei in official uniform.
There was a man and two women kneeling in the hall, and the woman in pink clothes looked sixteen or seventeen years old, kneeling a little in front of her, her waist straight.
Another woman in red was in her early twenties, kneeling casually, not far behind her, hiding her face and weeping.
Next to her, there was a man dressed in brown and black.
The man looked at his early thirties, and from time to time glanced at the back of the woman in pink, revealing a sad and angry expression.
