Chapter 552: Heavy Sticks Beat the Grass
After coming out of Liu's house, Mo Wen went around the village according to the plan, blatantly inquired about the murder of the Fei family, King Zhou and Chungui went to Fei's house again, but today they didn't see Fei Hou, under the gourd rack Peng is making a pair of embroidered shoes with a peach background, her daughter Li Niang is holding her chin and watching, there is a plate of fresh fruit on the table, and the little boy with two horns sits on the small pestle and eats a peeled Sydney pear, this child clearly inherits Fei Hou and Peng's appearance advantages, and looks extremely pleasing.
When Peng saw the distinguished guest and came to the door again, he did not show the slightest surprise, but his face was full of surprise, but he still sent his daughter to take his son to play elsewhere first, and he replied happily: "Seeing that the little girl is going to the county seat, my father and I are thinking about making some food for her in the past two days to make up for her. He asked enthusiastically: "Did Xiao Langjun go to my family?" The samurai's business was not done? ”
"Don't mention it." King Zhou looked frustrated: "Originally, it was going well, but my friend refused to hide it because he admired Ling Lang's chivalry, and he actually told the truth, Ling Lang and he ...... I really have a great prejudice against my aunt, and I heard that we originally inquired about his residence from my aunt, and I immediately repented, not only did I refuse to help, but I also scolded him. ”
"Alas!" Peng couldn't help but stumble, and his face was full of chagrin, but it was not easy to say that the guest's friend had made a stupid statement, and it was as if she had made a mistake and was extremely unhappy.
"Originally, I also thought that I needed to solve the misunderstanding between my aunt and Ling Lang, so that I could turn around and live up to my aunt's enthusiasm, so I inquired...... Only then did I know that Ling Lang was actually suspecting that there was something else wrong with Miss Fei's death? ”
Peng Shi was even more uncomfortable, sighing: "I am not the biological mother of Cong'er and Hui'er, life was difficult a few years ago, and I did treat their two older children too harshly and forced them to work......"
"Miss Fei should be a year older than Ling Yuan, right?" King Zhou is here to startle the snake today, so you might as well question Peng's defense.
"Xiao Langjun will definitely despise me for being biased, but people's hearts are originally biased, Li'er is my biological child, I am willing to suffer and be tired for her, Cong'er and Hui'er, I really can't treat them as my own flesh and blood." actually admitted her stepmother's heart, and did not defend Fei Cong's suspicions about her.
However, it was clear from the return of the spring, and Peng's sideburns had begun to ooze sweat.
"I also heard that the reason why Uncle Fei is sick is also related to his aunt?"
"That's wronging me." Peng Shi hurriedly said: "The child's father, I really never wanted to be satisfied with poverty, but the sister of the Liu family firmly believed that diligence and thrift could prosper the family, and forced the child and his father to dispel the idea of going out to make a living. That's why the child's father wants to find another way out, I am different from the sister of the Liu family, I have always obeyed the man's idea in this kind of matter, I have been in the family in the horizontal and vertical family, and the fields are not deserted, if the child's father can really break into the doorway, the future life will be more prosperous
, doesn't this person live a lifetime, doesn't he just want to eat better, dress better, be less busy, and have more fun? Relying on frugality alone, not to mention that I can't make a fortune, it's a disadvantage to myself, but no one expected that the child's father would be in danger, and I could only admit that I didn't enjoy my life. ”
This response was obviously unexpected by King Zhou, and he didn't know which direction he was going to "beat the grass" for a while, but Chun Gui had no intention of revealing his identity in front of Peng's, so it was inconvenient to interject, and he held back a few dry coughs for a long time.
Only then did Peng come to his senses: "Look at me, just talking to the two of you, and I didn't think of making a pot of tea." ”
King Zhou did not stop Peng from boiling water to make tea this time, and he also knew that the return of spring was to temporarily support Peng so as to remind him how to test it next.
Sure enough, as soon as Peng went to the kitchen to Zhang Luo, Chun Hui came over.
In order to prevent Peng from hearing her voice, Chun Gui could only whisper.
It's not too close, and the two are even a fist away, but King Zhou seems to have been suddenly pointed, and his whole body is soft and he seems to be unable to sit still, only to feel that his ears are suddenly hot, but obviously the woman's breath did not actually burn his ears and temples, but the sound of the voice was like a breeze with a blue breath that seeped into his ears, and the sweetness all the way stirred up the turbulent waves when it fell on his heart, and he was stunned for a long time before he said in a trance: "What the third brother said, I didn't hear clearly." ”
Spring Return: ......
"I really didn't hear you!" King Zhou has a red-eared equator.
Chun Gui almost didn't grit his teeth, and was a little hideous: "Ask her if she and Fei Hou have secretly crossed Chen Cang a long time ago." ”
So when Peng brought the tea, she was questioned again, and she barely smashed the teapot and cup directly on the table.
"Xiao Langjun, where did you hear this gossip? At that time, although I was already widowed, and I did have a good impression of the child's father, but the sister of the Liu family did not dare to do such a thing that violated the etiquette law when she was alive, and the child's father was also controlled by the sister of the Liu family to obey his words, and never dared to talk to the woman next to him, let alone do that...... Don't dare to talk nonsense. ”
King Zhou: "I even heard that Fei Liu also did something wrong because of her resentment of Uncle Fei's empathy, and it is said that the fetus she conceived after Miss Fei was actually not Uncle Fei's flesh and blood. ”
"What the hell is this guy chewing on the root of his tongue?" Peng took a sip on the ground: "Don't even let go of the dead, it's really not a good death, Xiao Langjun don't believe this, although the sister of the Liu family has a strong temperament, but she is a person who loves herself, she can attach great importance to reputation when she is alive, a family of four has to take out a loan because of her bad age, and in the second year, the sister of the Liu family has to pay off the money owed to others with interest, she has lived this breath in her life, although because of her temperament, it is the child and his father, but even the child and his father can't believe this kind of nonsense, Xiao Langjun didn't dare to follow that person and chew the root of his tongue. ”
"My aunt is upset for Fei Liu's family." King Zhou smiled coldly: "But according to my investigation, it seems that Miss Fei's death is that her whole body is blue and bleeding, and my aunt should know that this is a symptom of rat poison in her body, right?" ”
Peng's sideburns were almost soaked with cold sweat, and he immediately denied it: "This is even more ridiculous, Hui'er died of an acute abdomen, Dr. Hu's diagnosis can be sealed by Dr. Hu on the documentary evidence handed over to the yamen, where can the child who died of an acute abdomen be bruised and bleeding all over his body?" Who said that?
How dare the little woman confront him! This is a real slander! ”
"Dr. Hu has misdiagnosed an acute abdomen before, maybe this time it is a misdiagnosis?"
Peng was completely stunned and hesitated: "Doctor Hu actually misdiagnosed? Is he really a quack? ”
"Is it a quack, can my aunt be unclear in her heart?"
Peng was finally enraged and pulled down his face: "Xiao Langjun listened to those gossip and insisted that it was the little woman who poisoned her stepdaughter, where did she have the heart to resolve the conflict?" I am a woman's family, a peasant woman in the countryside, although I can't afford to provoke a rich family like Xiao Langjun, but I don't have the reason to be slandered in vain! Xiao Langjun please, the Fei family can't entertain a distinguished guest like Xiao Langjun, but if Xiao Langjun insists on slandering the little woman, the little woman will also go to the official office to seek justice. ”
The order to evict the guests has been issued, and King Zhou and Chungui naturally have no choice but to leave.
"How? Can it be seen that Peng's feet are exposed? On the way back, King Zhou couldn't wait to discuss with Chungui.
"Let's wait until we come back from the county seat to exchange harvests together." Chungui frowned slightly.
Of course, she also has to wait for Fei Hui, who is now staring at the Fei family, to gain something.
Let's say Fei Hui, since the king of Zhou, Chungui came to the door, she has actually been standing in her own yard, after listening to it for a long time, but I feel that my mind is still a fog, only to find that after Chungui left, Peng's panic in the yard, if it weren't for the two sisters and brothers of Liniang who were hungry, Peng's almost didn't forget to pour lunch, and after all, he had no leisure to prepare meals carefully as usual, only a pot of noodles to fill the hunger of his children, she had no appetite at all, and almost didn't smash the pot when washing the dishes.
Not long after, a woman in the village who was usually good friends with the Peng family came over and pulled her to mutter, Fei Hui pricked up her ears and listened carefully-
"Today, there is a little Taoist priest in the village, and when I meet people, I ask about the death of your eldest girl, and what do you say He looked at your house in mid-air with resentment, and it was the ghost of Hui Yatou...... I can trust you, I know that you won't do such hurtful things, in the end, you treated the two of them like that, not to let Boss Fei calm down that breath, but they are Boss Fei's flesh and blood after all, and you can't be ruthless! I'm just here to give you a wake-up call, maybe Fei Cong is still not dead, so he made this famous name again, and I want to say, you'd better not let Liniang go to Lou's house again, lest those red-eyed people follow Fei Cong to orchestrate you poisoned your stepdaughter for Liniang, people's words are terrible, you have to think about it. ”
"There are so many sisters-in-law, you believe that I am not such a femme fatale. It's just that the deposit given by the Lou family, I spent some, where else can I fill this hole at this time? In addition, I changed my mind after a lifetime of gossip, I am afraid that I will be even more serious about being a thief, and Li'er will be instructed by others if she stays in the village in the future, and I am afraid that even the marriage will be affected...... If I really did it, I won't say it, it's my deserved retribution, but I didn't do it, how can I affect Li'er? Not to mention the situation of the child's father now, he can't be tired, he has to rely on medicine to support his body, and he can't be lazy in eating and drinking, I tried my best to maintain it, so I had to let Lier go to Lou's Silk Village to work hard for a few years, and when I pulled An Le up, he could support his family and serve as the pillar of the family, so he could breathe a sigh of relief. ”
Fei Hui relied on these words, and she was even more unsure whether Peng's heart was empty, until her biological father finally came home at the end of the day.
