Chapter 128: The Chen Family
The woman in yellow looked at her in disbelief, and after a while, she suddenly burst out laughing, laughing so hard that she couldn't straighten her waist, and tears flowed out of her laughter: "Miss is really Zhuge among women, it's just that my brother and sister-in-law are so miserable that I didn't meet you four years ago!" ”
She staggered back two steps, retreated to the window, leaned on the window lattice, stopped laughing, and said sadly: "If someone could see through that old trick and administer justice for my sister-in-law, my brother would not misunderstand her, my sister-in-law would not end up with hatred, and my brother would not be disheartened and cold to the Chen family's way, lose the carving competition, and lose his life, then, how could our Murong family fall to this step?" ”
"Miss Murong, what do you mean ......," Zhen Bei said in surprise.
At this moment, from the other party's expression and words, she had already sensed that the inside story of the incident four years ago was probably more complicated than she expected!
"Now, there is no need to hide it. It's just that many of today's wealthy people are concerned, and the little lady loves Miss and will follow me back to the wing. As she spoke, the woman in yellow turned around and walked towards her room.
Chen?
Zhen Bei remembered hearing from Nangong Ke that the current imperial carving envoy is responsible for the royal carving, which is the young owner of the Chen family-Chen Youyi, presumably the Chen family mentioned by the other party must be this family!
I don't know what the relationship between this Murong family and the Chen family is?
Zhen Bei's mind flashed through these many thoughts, and she followed Miss Murong into the wing room without hesitation.
The two sides sat down on both sides of the table, and Miss Murong spoke: "Miss's previous guess is not wrong, I am the only daughter of the Murong family, known as Murong Yun. Our Murong family was originally a family friend of the Chen family, but later because of this conflict of interest in carving, we gradually became enemies!
"Since the death of that great immortal, the position of the royal eagle, which has been changed every ten years, has become a common goal of the two families, and this matter has also become a contest between the descendants of the Murong family and the Chen family! The previous generation of imperial eagles was held by my grandfather, but when it came to my father's generation, it was the turn of the Chen family to serve again!
"Just four years ago, the term of office of the Chen family was already the last year, as long as the elder brother won the championship of the competition again, the imperial eagle would follow the previous tacit rules, and it would be the turn of our Murong family again!
"Who would have thought that the father and son of the Chen family would do whatever it takes to compete. The rules of the carving competition are to announce the content of the competition one month before the competition, which is the scope of carving, so that the participants can use the remaining time to think about the models that need to be carved in preparation for the competition!
Therefore, the month before the game is also known as the golden month! If, during this time, you can have creative inspiration and carve new and unique works, you will have more chances of winning!
I never thought that the Chen family actually bought off my family's servant and asked him to secretly manipulate my brother's meals on the first day of the release of the competition questions, making my brother tired and dizzy, and it was difficult to concentrate! Originally, we all thought that my brother was suffering from a cold, but who knew that after taking countless doses of decoction, he still did not get better.
Seeing that the time for the competition is coming soon, although my father and mother are distressed, they can only watch my brother grit his teeth and go to the competition! Sister Gu was worried about her brother, so she followed him here.
never thought that she would not be alone, because of her beautiful appearance, she was targeted by gangsters! The gangster took advantage of the unpreparedness to sneak into the guest room where she lived and stole her personal belongings for changing clothes, and Sister Gu took care of her brother wholeheartedly, although she later noticed that there were a few pieces of clothes missing in the baggage, but because the doors and windows were not damaged, and the money and belongings she was carrying were not lost, she thought that it must have fallen when she left home, so she didn't pay much attention to it!
Unexpectedly, a few days later, those underwear were hung in a place where everyone could see, and a line of words was left on the side, which read: Gu, the unmarried wife of the Murong family, has a heart and is shameless, and now she is acting for the heavens and making her despicable behavior public!
When my sister Gu saw those wrinkled underwear, she fainted with shame, anxiety and anger, and after waking up, she didn't eat or drink and was in a trance.
My brother grew up with her since she was a child, so he naturally understood her innocence, but at that time, the big game was imminent, and he was not cured of his illness, so he didn't have much energy to comfort and accompany her.
On the day of the competition, not long after my brother entered the arena, someone from the government arrived! Sister Gu, she has committed suicide in the inn! ”
Miss Murong wiped her teary eyes with her sleeve, and Fang continued: "When my brother heard the news, he vomited a mouthful of blood and fainted to the ground, and the carved work fell to the ground and fell into several petals!" Sister Gu's death was designated as suicide by the government, and her body was soon returned to Murong Mansion.
Because his brother has been in a trance, his father and mother personally organized Gu's funeral. Just as the coffin was in the ground, my brother suddenly jumped up and swung his knife to kill himself, following Sister Gu! ”
Zhenbei involuntarily let out an "ah", and her expression changed slightly.
This world is dominated by men, it is the most normal thing for a man to have three wives and four concubines in his family, only the infatuated daughter committed suicide in martyrdom, if a man does not marry a woman for life, it is already a strange news in the world, don't say that he will die for a woman.
Miss Murong seemed to have anticipated her reaction, smiled sadly, and sneered: "Everyone in the world says that Sister Gu is a fox fairy illusion, who has lost her brother's mind, but she doesn't know that she is superficial and naïve, and her brother has never taken these worldly eyes in his eyes, and he has never despised any woman!"
The reason why he went with Sister Gu was because his love was too deep, and he was ashamed of her in his heart!
But no matter what the reason is, my father and mother were hit by this series of accidents, and they died one after another. There are only two children in Murong Mansion, including his brother Murong Heng and the little girl, but in half a year, I am the only one left in the huge mansion! Originally, this matter, I only regarded it as providence, except for Gu Ying's self-pity every day, I stood in front of the graves of my relatives, recalling their voices and smiles as if they were yesterday, until I accidentally found the bag of medicine residue discarded in the corner of the garden!
Unlike my father and brother, I was not very fond of carving since I was a child, but I was more interested in making incense and researching medicine. My father and mother are all enlightened people, but instead of blaming me, they specially invited a master to teach me pharmacology!
So, when I opened the packet of dregs on a whim, I realized that something was wrong! There are several medicinal herbs in it that collide with each other, and they can't be tormented at the same time, although they won't kill people, but they will put people in chaos! It dawned on me that my brother had not been sick before, but had been poisoned! Following this clue, I found out the person who was bribed, found out the reason for the whole thing, and knew that this was done by the Chen family!
In the process of investigation, I inadvertently made a new discovery, and learned that the thief who stole Sister Gu's underwear and was in cahoots with the Chen family was a running hall in the inn where my brother and they stayed! It's just that this person has already turned into the owner of the inn by taking advantage of the benefits he got from the Chen family! ”
"Are you saying that in addition to the subordinates of Murong Mansion, the Chen family also deliberately let this shopkeeper Liu ruin Miss Feng's innocence and make Murong Gongzi lose the game?" Zhen Beixiu frowned slightly.
If this is really the case, using an innocent and weak woman, the most important thing, as a tool for personal gain, then the people of the Chen family have really lost their conscience!
It's just that since the masterminds behind everything in the Murong family are all from the Chen family, why didn't Murong Wan directly seek revenge from the Chen family, because he was afraid of the Chen family's power?
Zhen Bei thought of this, and shook her head slightly, although the Chen family is a royal carving, but this is just a name, maybe this is extremely glorious in the eyes of the people in the town, but in fact, in the final analysis, it is just a craftsman under the status, and there is no power at all. In the imperial city where the homes of the powerful are like clouds, it is barely a home of food and clothing, Murong Wan only needs a piece of paper to denounce, and even if the Chen family does not fall, he has to peel off the skin!
Because of the special nature of the Murong family, there is a chance that the position of the imperial eagle will be changed to someone else because of this! But—
Zhen Bei thought of this, and couldn't help but look at Murong Yun suspiciously: "Miss Murong, the next plan is to go to the Imperial City?" ”
"Chen Youyi will come here soon, why should I make this extra trip?" Murong Yun sneered.
"Miss Murong, should you think about it again?" Zhen Bei's face changed slightly.
"Miss thinks I'm going to kill him for my brother and sister-in-law?" Murong Yun smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry!" He didn't know what the Chen family did back then, so I wouldn't do anything to him! In fact, although the Chen family is the source of my Murong family's misfortune, the only thing I hate the most is this shopkeeper Liu.
Because, the master of the Chen family only bribed the subordinates in the mansion back then, and they intended to make their brother lose the game, but they didn't kill the killer!
And later, Sister Gu will come to this town with her brother, which is something they didn't expect. Shopkeeper Liu has an extraordinary penchant for women's things, and he would use his identity as a shop guy to sneak into Sister Gu's room to steal things, which has nothing to do with the Chen family!
It's just that he accidentally discovered the secret of the Chen family, who had been secretly spying on my brother, and the Chen family gave him a sum of money in order to seal his mouth.
And this shopkeeper Liu is a villain who sees money, after he got the silver taels, he was not satisfied, in order to please the Chen family, and get more money, he actually hung the stolen things outside, and left those words that ruined Sister Gu's innocence!
I never planned to seek revenge on the Chen family again, I just wanted to wait for the matter of the shopkeeper Liu to be over, and I would rely on the strength of the carving to impress the Chen family and bow down! ”
When Zhen Bei heard this, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, hugged her fists and said: "Miss Murong is really a heroine among women, with clear grievances and grievances, and open-mindedness, which is admirable!" ”
Murong Wan glanced at her with complicated eyes, and said, "Speaking of heroes among women, how can a little woman compare to you, Miss?" Brave and strategic, thoughtful, I am afraid that among the men in the world, there are few people who can be compared with Miss! If Brother Gu and Sister were still in this world, they would definitely want to get acquainted with a strange woman like Miss, because—"
She turned her head to look out the window, her voice stopped abruptly, and at the end of the street, two rows of people dressed in white filial piety clothes appeared, led by the son-in-law of Liu's shopkeeper.
Zhen Bei also saw the returning funeral procession: "Miss Murong, since the past has passed away like the wind, what do you plan to do next?" ”
