When Chun Gui came out of the room where Jian Qing was temporarily recuperated from his injuries, he still gently pulled his left hand that stood with his back to the door curtain, and the man was a little chilled today.
"Done talking?"
After Lan Ting got a response, he didn't ask Jian Qing for his confession, and he also held Chun Gui with his backhand, as if he was greedy for the warmth of the woman's palm, so as to alleviate this seemingly extremely cold winter, even the cold that was flowing in his blood. He wasn't afraid of the approaching Wind Blade and Frost Sword, he was just sad that the people who wielded these Wind Blades and Frost Swords were all his blood relatives, and he couldn't do it with them, but he couldn't escape this battle for power.
"It's almost time, Huihui will come with me." Lan Ting tightened his left hand and did not move.
"I'll accompany you." Chungui smiled slowly: "It's like accompanying me to deal with the Gumen clan at that time." โ
She has also experienced persecution from her relatives, so she understands Lan Ting's mood at this moment, she knows that Lan Ting is already winning, there is no suspense about the outcome of this war, Lan Ting only needs her company, when he is sad, as long as he looks over, he can see her smiling face.
Lan Ting finally paced forward, and after more than ten steps, he saw the second sister turn around the corner.
"I'm here to visit Jian Qing......" Zhao Lanxin forced herself to look into her brother's eyes.
This time, Lan Ting looked away, and he thought helplessly: How fast, the news of Jian Qing's soberness spread to Jian Yuan, so the second sister immediately rushed to stop Jian Qing from speaking.
Chungui took a step forward: "Jian Qing has just woken up, but she has not yet passed the crisis, she has been severely injured in the back of her skull, and she needs to recuperate and should not speak or act, the second sister should not be disturbed, what is there to wait for Jian Qing to really get better, it is not too late to say, the second sister will go back to the hugging hall first, and I will go to talk to the second sister in detail after a while." โ
Zhao Lan subconsciously wanted to refute, but she wasn't sure if Jian Qing had already confessed after waking up, so she just looked at Lan Ting: "Brother? โ
"If you still regard me as a brother, you can no longer disobey your sister-in-law's admonitions." Lan Ting only left this sentence and walked forward.
Leaving Zhao Lanxin behind, she was stunned.
"Jian Qing's confession is insignificant at all, and the second sister doesn't need to rush to see her." Chungui said softly: "Uncle also knows that your words and deeds today are instigated by others, and I don't think that the second sister is the culprit, let you go back to the Hug Youguan first, it is for your sake that you don't want you to fall into it, the second sister and be considerate of the uncle's intentions, don't make a mistake again and again, I said that I will go to the Hug Youcha to talk to you in detail after a while, and I will not break my word, and the second sister will not be impatient." โ
She can only remind this here.
Before the husband and wife arrived at the Hesitant Garden, they saw the angry second master coming towards them on the way, and when they saw the return of spring, they raised their arms, and Lan Ting stopped the second master with an arrow: "What does the uncle want?" โ
"The Gu family caused Meng Niang's miscarriage, so poisonous ......"
"Uncle, don't spew blood."
"It's already conclusive evidence of the crime, and Da Lang still wants to excuse the poisonous woman's sophistry?"
"What does Uncle want?" Lan Ting is still asking this question.
The second master finally lowered his arm, clenched his fists and gritted his teeth: "I have already informed all the elders of the clan that they will gather in Xuan Zhutang to try today's matter, and they will no longer tolerate the Gu family's poisonous woman scourge the inner house, even if you are bent on covering it up, you must obey the clan elder's determination to deal with it justly today." โ
"Okay, then let's go to Xuan Zhutang to theorize."
Lan Ting calmly and fearlessly met the angry eyes of the second master, but suddenly remembered
An old thing, when he was still young, it was on the Chinese New Year's Eve of a certain year, he did not dare to light firecrackers with his own hands and had to watch the servants set off the cannons, it was the second uncle who taught him to light the fuse, patted him on the shoulder and laughed: "Brother Ting is a man, you must have the courage of a man." โ
The second uncle was also an elder he sincerely admired, but gradually thinned the blood kinship, and now it has finally evolved into a hostile two sides on the utilitarian battlefield. It is desire that wins, and it is family that loses.
Lan Ting paused slightly before entering the Xuan Zhai Hall, looking up at the plaque hanging high on the lintel, which was written by his great-grandfather's father, since the beginning of the capital Zhaomen has its own hall number, the three words of Xuan Zhai Tang have since become the glory of the Beijing Zhaomen, and since then it has become the responsibility on the shoulders of the heads of the past generations, this is what his grandfather once taught him, but he could not deeply understand the meaning of the word "responsibility" at that time.
There are already many children of the Lan character generation standing outside the hall, they can't enter the Xuan Zhai Hall to discuss clan affairs, they look at the Lan Ting with admiration, none of them can understand how heavy the word responsibility is, of course, they are also wondering why the good and decent Hehuan banquet suddenly called the clan meeting, and they all want to go inside to find out, including Zhao Lange, but he has more doubts than others - after the banquet, it seems that he has never seen his brother again, where the brother has gone, and no one has been seen until this time.
Since the public trial of Xuan Zhutang was opened, Lan Ting, as the head of the family, was on the throne, and Chun Gui was also "lucky" to sit next to several grandmothers and old ladies on the fifth "chair" on the side of the female dependents, and the position was higher than that of Mrs. Peng.
Mrs. Peng sat on the sixth "chair", which was very convenient to look at the spring return nearby.
But it was Zhao Zhoucheng who took the lead.
"Elders, today, Zhoucheng invited all the relatives to gather in Xuanzhutang, it is really because there is an evil thing in the family that makes Zhoucheng unbearable!" As soon as he finished saying this opening sentence, Zhao Zhoucheng suddenly realized that the situation and the plan had deteriorated, he didn't expect that Aunt Meng's accident would happen today, but this not only would not affect the next plan, but even made him more determined, Zhao Zhoucheng continued to read the words from the script: "Why don't you see the fourth brother alone?" โ
Mrs. Peng continued: "I didn't see the third brother-in-law either." โ
The husband and wife sang and sang together, first making the second old lady wake up: Could it be that the second nephew's nonsense earlier was not to seek good tea from the old lady, but to let me pay attention to the whereabouts of Xicheng? Four nephews and three nephews...... Oh, I'm afraid there will be even more terrifying scandals in the Xuan Zhai Hall today!
The second old lady immediately tensed up and looked at Lan Ting......
Very good, as soon as I saw Brother Ting's expression, I knew that I had already prepared, and the second eldest of the long house and his daughter-in-law were afraid that they would have to lift a stone and drop their feet.
When the second old lady was thinking about this, Zhao Zhoucheng had already instructed him to quickly find the two who were absent.
But naturally he would not wait for the fourth master and the third lady to come over before attacking, Zhao Zhoucheng turned his face and glared at Chun Gui angrily: "Zhou Cheng was talking to the second uncle earlier, and suddenly heard that Meng Niang in the concubine room actually had abdominal pain and red, and after the diagnosis and treatment of Gao Taiyi, it was confirmed that Meng Niang had a miscarriage because of taking safflower, and this harmful poison was found to have fallen into the refreshments that Gu gave to Meng Niang. โ
Chungui didn't seem to hear Zhao Zhoucheng's accusations, and he didn't plan to defend himself.
"Does the second uncle have a certificate?"
"Of course, it's not empty words." Zhao Zhoucheng snorted coldly: "The Gu family sent a box of silk cakes, Imperial Doctor Gao has already experienced that it is mixed with safflower, and the witty words of the maid beside Meng Niang have also confessed after I have asked them." โ
immediately shouted to bring the certificate to court.
The witty words prostrate on the ground, did not dare to raise their heads, at the beginning the sound was like a mosquito fly, and was reprimanded by the second old man before he was slightly louder: "It was the silk crisp sent by the maid Qingping next to the grandmother yesterday, Qingping handed it to the slave, saying that the grandmother thought that Aunt Meng could not stand the meat recently, and then she needed to rest and be afraid that it would be inconvenient to attend the banquet, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and the grandmother must not make another pastry, so she made a box of silk crisps yesterday, this season is to put it for three days and will not change the taste, so it is convenient for Aunt Meng to eat at any time, But today, Aunt Meng's appetite is really not good, and she is too lazy to eat pastries......"
"At this point, you still want to use this rhetoric to deal with it!" The second master roared again.
The witty words almost grabbed the ground with her head, and she confessed while crying: "Aunt Meng had a poor appetite at first, and the slave maid really wanted to ask the eldest grandmother to teach her cooking skills, so that she could cook tea soup and serve her aunt by herself, but the eldest grandmother said that there was no need to be so troublesome, and it was more convenient for the slave and maid to give the ready-made refreshments made by the eldest grandmother to Aunt Meng. In this way, even if the second lady is not abandoned by the master, she can no longer be in charge of the feed.
Although Aunt Meng did not eat the silk cake today, she had already been poisoned, and she happened to have a seizure today, but she did not expect that the evidence of the crime was still there, and she was investigated by the Gao Tai Doctor, and the slave and maid were exposed, so she had to confess the truth in order to be light. โ
Zhao Zhoucheng pointed at Chungui: "Gu, what else do you have to say?!" โ
Mrs. Peng's chair was next to the Spring Return, and it was very convenient to denounce it nearby: "I can't imagine that Gu's you actually murdered Aunt Meng's fetus in her womb for the sake of the dispute between the middle and the feed, intending to slander me so ruthlessly!" โ
Although the old lady's seat was far away, it did not hinder the condemnation at all: "The Gu family first bullied Sister Xin'er, tried to persecute Sister Xin'er, and was even exposed to the evil deeds of mutilating the bloodline of my Zhao family's heirs. Lan Ting, your second uncle has verified the evidence of the Gu family's crimes, and the ironclad evidence does not allow her to quibble, today in front of many clan elders and the children of the clan, you must severely punish the Gu family! โ
"It's just the so-called testimony of a servant and maid beside Aunt Meng, and a box of pansi cakes that can't be determined to be from the Eagle Garden, how can it be ironclad?" Lan Ting didn't look at the slave maid under the prostrate: "Since the witty words confessed that she was instructed by Qingping, then Qingping should be allowed to confront her on the spot." โ
"Then we have to ask the Gu family to hand over the maid Qingping." Mrs. Peng sneered.
Only then did Chun Gui respond: "Qingping went to the Gongshun Hou Mansion this morning to visit Mrs. Wei, and she should not have returned to the house at this time." โ
"How could there be such a coincidence, it was obvious that you expected Aunt Meng to have a seizure in the near future, so you let Qingping escape first!" Mrs. Peng sneered again.
"How can you escape? The second aunt only needs to wait for a while, and the nephew and daughter-in-law will naturally send someone to call back Qingping to confront the witty words. โ
"Then I'll just wait for Qingping to come back." As soon as Mrs. Peng raised her eyebrows, she had tricked Qingping out of the house, and had already arranged for someone to kill Qingping, and the had already died without proof, where would she come back to confront her.
This public case has not yet been resolved, who knew that a mother-in-law actually escorted a maidservant into it, followed by Zhao Jiu, a housekeeper with a dignified face.
"Uncle Ninth is exempt, what happened here?" Lan Ting spoke slowly.
Chungui recognized that the maidservant girl who was escorted in was the Ying Xian in the courtyard of the third lady.
