Chapter Forty-Nine: After the Affair Is Revealed
At this time, Chen Wanying had been thrown into the yard, the mother-in-law in the yard found her, saw that she was unconscious, and hurriedly helped people in, Zhao Qingru got the news and hurried over, and when she heard that Chen Wanying was thrown into the yard, she already understood what was going on, and she hated it in her heart.
Needless to say, it must have been sent back by Li Junze, but fortunately, the matter did not make a big fuss, and finally did not damage Chen Wanying's reputation, but what they planned was also in vain.
Especially Chen Wanying caught a cold, she was unconscious, and she started to get hot, it was so late, Zhao Qingru didn't dare to call the doctor, and she was worried that someone would find out the clues, so she would survive the night.
The big house is also brightly lit.
Zhao Siyin sat on the side expressionlessly, and the eldest lady said hatefully: "I usually look quite honest, and I don't think about it, but I didn't expect that one by one they were all unconscious, and they stole your limelight!" After a pause, she continued: "Yin'er, don't worry, Chen Wanying is just an orphan girl no matter what, and she has to rely on the Zhao family, and her mother will never let her get in your way!" ”
Zhao Siyin was indifferent: "Mother, now our obstacle is not only my cousin, but also our third sister." ”
"Siyan's performance this time really surprised my mother, but no matter how smart she is, her background is not as good as yours, your second aunt's maiden family is a family of military generals, and your second uncle is also willing to fall, even if she is also a girl of the Zhao family, but the famous family will not look down on her because of this!" The eldest lady said calmly: "Yin'er, you are different, although your mother's family is in decline, but you are a scholarly family, a scholar, although your father is not angry, but you have an older brother and younger brother, they are all your help!" ”
What's the big banner, the background of the scholar is really too important, isn't it because of the bad background of the Liu family that he has not been treated well in the Zhao family for so many years?
Zhao Siyin also recognized her mother's words, and after listening to it, her heart was finally a little relieved, she nodded, but said sullenly: "But I see that the prince and Gu Gongzi are both impressed by her." ”
The eldest lady said indifferently: "This marriage, it is the good of the two surnames, even if Gu Chenfeng and the prince really fall in love with Siyan, the elders in their family will not agree, even if they really carry people into the door, they are just a concubine, what are you worried about?" ”
Zhao Siyin thought about it and felt that it made sense, so she nodded.
The eldest lady said again: "Your brother will be out next year, if he can win the promotion, your net worth will be a little higher, and you will be able to have better relatives at that time." ”
Zhao Siyin's face was slightly red: "But mother, didn't Wen Xi also say that he would also take the children's exam next year?" She is Zhao Siyan's younger brother. ”
The eldest lady snorted disdainfully, "Even if he passes the exam, he is just a child, he is young, and he has not had such a big impact, besides, Wenkang will end up with him next year, and he will not be in the limelight at that time." ”
When Zhao Wenkang heard this, he hurriedly said: "Mother, don't worry, I will definitely pass the exam, when the time comes, there will be me, the youngest child in Dengzhou, who cares about him?" After a pause, he looked at Zhao Siyin again: "Sister, don't worry, I will definitely let you marry beautifully!" This time he didn't get Zhao Wenxi, that's his luck, see if he has such good luck next time! ”
In the end, there was a bit of viciousness on the immature little face.
The eldest lady didn't care, looked at her son with a look of relief, hugged her son, and praised again and again: "My Kang'er is really good, I know that I have to support my sister and mother at such a young age!" ”
Zhao Wenkang smiled proudly.
Zhao Siyin looked at her mother and younger brother, and a relaxed smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, yes, in Daqi, birth determines everything, and no one can take away everything that belongs to her.
Thinking of that noble and handsome young man, Zhao Siyin couldn't help but blush.
The next morning, the snow still didn't stop.
Zhao Tingshan came back from breakfast, snorting, and looking unenergetic.
When Zhao Siyan saw him, he asked about yesterday: "Dad, where did you go yesterday?" ”
"I was called by your eldest uncle to talk for half a night, and only let me come back after the child." Zhao Tingshan said listlessly: "The words are all about the prince of the world, and he also said that the prince values me so much, is he interested in marrying the Zhao family, it seems that Dafang is not dead set on the matter of the prince." ”
Zhao Tingshan didn't finish speaking, in fact, Zhao Tingxu came to him, more to hint at him, if the prince really wants to marry the Zhao family, the most suitable person is Zhao Siyin, after all, Zhao Siyin's mother is also a scholarly family, and she is the daughter of the long house, let him take the lead in considering the interests of the family.
Zhao Tingshan understands that in fact, at yesterday's birthday banquet, the painting that Zhao Siyan made up made Zhao Tingxu feel a sense of crisis, worried that Zhao Siyan would steal Zhao Siyin's limelight, which was beating him.
Although he is rough, he is not stupid, he can still see this scheming, he didn't tell Zhao Siyan, he just didn't want to make his daughter and wife sad.
As for his own hints to Zhao Tingxu, he actually scoffed, not to mention that his daughter didn't look down on the prince...... Even the prince of the world could not choose the girl of their Zhao family, and yesterday Li Junze appeared to attend the birthday banquet, giving them an illusion.
But then again, why did the prince come to the birthday banquet? Zhao Tingshan didn't think of a clue, and then he naturally let go of this matter and didn't think about it.
Zhao Siyan frowned faintly, Li Junze's drunkenness was caused by Zhao Qingru's mother and daughter, how could Zhao Tingxu be involved again?
But fortunately, Zhao Tingshan is fine, she is just a child, and she is too lazy to worry about it so much.
While the family was eating, Bao inquired about the little maid Green Lotus and came to share the latest news.
"Miss, the slave maid heard that the third aunt and grandmother asked the eldest lady to ask for a doctor early in the morning, saying that Miss Cousin suffered from a cold yesterday and had a fever."
Zhao Siyan nodded, no one knew better than her why Chen Wanying had a fever, it seemed that she had suffered the consequences of yesterday's toss.
"You girl, it's rare for Miss Cousin to be sick, and you also came to report to your master!" Mama Li reprimanded.
Green Lotus felt that she was underestimated, she hadn't finished her words yet, how could Mama Li easily draw conclusions, when did she share the news that was not exciting, little girl?
"The slave hasn't finished yet!" Green Lotus pouted and said: "Actually, this is not the point, the point is that there are rumors in the house, saying that Miss Biao is not because she was blown by the wind, someone saw that she was not dressed very solemnly in the yard last night." ”
For a woman, not too dignified is not a good word.
Zhao Siyan frowned, "Where did this news come from?" ”
"Miss Table's yard," Green Lotus said confidently: "I heard my mother-in-law say, there was no movement outside at that time, and in a blink of an eye, I saw Miss Cousin appear in the yard, and Miss Cousin was still unconscious at that time, no one knocked on the door, you said, how did Miss Cousin come back?" Someone must have sent it back! ”
Zhao Siyan couldn't help but rub the corners of her forehead, sighed in her heart, and asked Jiang Yi if she could send Chen Wanying back without alarming anyone, he did it, but how was this result different from what he expected?
"What is the house saying now?" Zhao Siyan asked hopelessly.
"The people in the house are now saying, who else can have such skills to send people back, except for the people around the prince? Coupled with Miss Biao's outfit at that time, it was said that Miss Biao was to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix to seduce the prince, but she was sent back by the prince! Green Lotus said with a gloating expression.
Zhao Siyan also admired the imagination of these people in the house, and she really guessed that it was not far from ten, even she didn't expect that the matter would be publicized, she sighed lightly.
Liu's kindness was kind, and he didn't want to get involved in such a thing, "Mama Li, you tell everyone in the yard that no one is allowed to discuss this matter, others say I don't care, but we listen to the rain garden, there is no one who chews the root of the tongue behind his back and ruins the woman's reputation!" ”
Mama Li answered, turned around and went out to tell the little maid in the yard.
Liu actually has no other ideas, she is also a person with a daughter, she knows how important the name is to a woman, she doesn't approve of Chen Wanying's approach, but she doesn't want to step on her more.
Zhao Tingshan said: "Mrs. did the right thing, Wanying is also our Zhao family after all, she has no reputation, are you very glorious?" The sister-in-law is also right, and she actually let these mothers-in-law and maids talk so nonsense. As he spoke, he shook his head disapprovingly.
But he is a man, and he can't take care of the affairs of the inner house, so he let go of it after saying a word, and his daughter can't do such a stupid thing.
Mama Li was worried: "Old lady, if something like this happens to Miss Cousin, will it affect our Miss......"
After all, in the eyes of outsiders, Chen Wanying is also half of the Zhao family, and her reputation is ruined, which will affect the entire Zhao family's girls, which is why Zhao Siyan wanted to help Chen Wanying deal with the aftermath yesterday.
It's just that I didn't expect Jiang Yi to be so quick to do things, and it still made people discover the clues.
Liu Shi was also anxious, and Zhao Tingshan looked at Zhao Siyan.
Zhao Siyan thought for a while, and then said with a smile: "Daddy, don't worry, we don't need to worry about this matter, someone will be eager to run out to deal with the aftermath, we just have to watch." ”
Liu Shi was still not at ease in his heart: "Yan'er, this is not a trivial matter, no, I have to go to my mother, I can't let her ruin your life alone!" ”
At the beginning, Zhao Siyan was assigned to Zhuangzi by Mrs. Zhao just because she had a dislike with Zhao Wenkang, this time Chen Wanying had such a big thing, she also had to find Mrs. Zhao for an explanation, after all, Chen Wanying affected the reputation of the Zhao family!
Zhao Siyan stopped her, "Mother, what do you want to say when you go to find your grandmother at this time?" Let her personally distribute her granddaughter? Grandmother has been protecting her aunt and cousin all these years, and you remind her that your cousin has a bad reputation at this time, and you have to deal with her, even if grandmother really disposes of them because of face, grandmother can't guarantee that she won't be angry with you afterwards. ”
"Mother is not afraid!" Liu said firmly.
A pair of children is her bottom line, and she will never let anyone hurt her children.
Zhao Siyan's heart warmed slightly, stepped forward to hold Liu's hand, and said softly: "Mother, I said it, don't be afraid, we don't need to worry about this matter, someone will come forward." ”
General Liu was skeptical: "Really? ”
Zhao Siyan nodded with a smile and said softly, "Don't you still believe me?" ”
Liu's daughter was entangled and couldn't do it, thinking that his daughter had always been smart, and he was really sure that he was sure of it, so he pressed the uneasiness in his heart.
After eating, Zhao Wenxi's children secretly came to Zhao Siyan's side, and he was also very concerned about the rumors in the house.
"The person who sent my cousin back is my master, right?" Zhao Wenxi's eyes were shining, and he said, "Does he know how to fly off the wall?" Didn't you say that the mother-in-law didn't hear a sound, and then she saw her cousin being put in the yard? He must have worked lightly, coming and going without a trace! My master is amazing! ”
In the end, he already looked adoring, and Zhao Siyan looked helpless.
At this time, Li Junze and Gu Chenfeng also heard the rumors outside, and the two of them frowned in unison, and the same thought came to their hearts, this rumor was not spread by him, she should not misunderstand him.
Last night, they also swore to Zhao Siyan that this matter would not be spread, but they didn't expect it to be spread all over the world the next day, which made both of them feel a little embarrassed.
This matter was spread by the Zhao family, and Zhao Siyan didn't expect that Chen Wanying couldn't even control the people in her yard, which was also something that could not be helped.
The eldest lady naturally heard about it, and was furious when she heard it: "I still think she is really a bodhisattva, she doesn't fight or rob, she looks like she guards her deceased husband on weekdays, eats fasting and recites Buddha, but I didn't expect to even do such a bad thing!" She was open-minded, but she didn't expect that the prince of the world didn't fancy her at all! He was also thrown back into his yard, which is a big joke! ”
Zhao Siyin also looks down on Chen Wanying's demeanor, she is simply embarrassed and cheap, this kind of thing is seduced, it is only a woman who can't get on the stage to do, she is a beautiful girl, she is so disregardful of face.
"Mother, you can't let the rumors spread like this!" Zhao Siyin said anxiously.
The eldest lady sneered: "Since she dares to do such a thing, can she still be afraid of being embarrassed?" Do I still have to help her with the aftermath? ”
"Mother, now my cousin lives in our house, and she is also half of the Zhao family, she has a bad reputation, and it will also affect me!" Zhao Siyin hurriedly said: "Fortunately, now it's just the subordinates in the house who are passing it on, my mother will deal with a few subordinates, kill a hundred people, and make an example of them, so that they don't dare to pass it on again, if it is spread outside, it will be too late then!" ”
The eldest lady was reminded by her, and she was also shocked into a cold sweat, she nodded again and again: "You're right, this matter can't be passed on anymore," after a pause, she said hatefully: "She did such a shameless thing, and she actually asked me to help her deal with the aftermath!" It's really infuriating and hateful! ”
No matter how unwilling the eldest lady is, she still has to deal with this matter, and she can't let Chen Wanying implicate Zhao Siyin.
Zhao Siyin thought for a while and comforted her: "Mother, you are not busy in vain, even if you don't do it, grandmother will know it, she will definitely protect her aunt and cousin, and she will also ask you to deal with it, you might as well take the initiative to do this, and your grandmother will also think of you at that time." After a pause, she said with a somewhat unnatural expression: "Grandmother was already dissatisfied with you because of the matter of your grandfather's family before, and this time it is good to eliminate her suspicion of you." ”
When it comes to her mother's family, the eldest lady's expression is also a little bad, after all, when such a thing happens, her face is also gloomy, and after listening to her daughter's words, the eldest lady's expression is a little comforted.
"You're right, it's still a smart sound." The eldest lady said with emotion and patted her hand.
The eldest lady is proud, even if she is not angry because of her mother's family, but looking at her three children, she is proud, she can no longer count on Zhao Tingxu, but her children will bring her glory that others do not have.
Her children will be better than anyone else, better than anyone else, and for this, she will do everything willingly.
At this time, Chen Wanying was lying on the bed, and after drinking the medicine, she finally woke up in a daze.
Chen Wanying was confused for a moment, and then remembered what happened yesterday, her eyes widened, and she looked at Zhao Qingru beside her: "Mother, did Gu Gongzi send me back?" ”
Chen Wanying is really sick, she is already delicate, she has just recovered from a serious illness, and she still has a feeling of weakness on her body, her cheeks are slightly red, but she is really a little pitiful.
Zhao Qingru was stunned for a moment: "Gu Chenfeng? Could it be that Gu Chenfeng sent you back? ”
"Isn't it Gu Gongzi? Who's that? Chen Wanying asked rhetorically.
Both mother and daughter asked each other.
Zhao Qingru covered her with a quilt, and muttered: "You too, you have done it to this point, but it didn't work out, even if you attracted others at that time, as long as people can see that you are with the prince, this matter is a certainty." ”
Chen Wanying also looked aggrieved: "Do you think your daughter doesn't know?" But the prince is not in the room at all! I was also locked in my room and couldn't get out of my room. ”
Chen Wanying said, and told the story of yesterday.
Zhao Qingru is not stupid, after listening to it, he understands that the small actions made by their mother and daughter were discovered, otherwise why is it so good that Li Junze is not in the room?
"Well, it's a chess game." Zhao Qingru said with a sigh.
Chen Wanying's face showed an angry look, "Mother, my daughter is unwilling!" We've all gotten to this point, and nothing worked out! ”
"What if you are not reconciled? If the prince is really drugged, the two of you can really sleep in the same bed, this matter is a certainty, no matter how noble his identity is, he has to accept you, and now there is no evidence, what else can you do? Zhao Qingru calmly asked, "Plans are in people, success is in heaven, this is fate!" ”
Chen Wanying bit her lower lip, still full of unwillingness.
While the mother and daughter were talking, Zhao Qingru's personal grandmother walked in and quietly reported the rumors in the house to Zhao Qingru.
After Zhao Qingru heard this, his face was shocked and angry.
"What a dog minion who eats inside and out! Let people tie her up, hit a hundred boards, throw her out if she can't die, and freeze her to death! Zhao Qingru said sharply.
This is knowing that the mother-in-law is spreading nonsense, which has ruined Chen Wanying's reputation.
Mama hurriedly said: "Grandma, it's not important to deal with her now, but now the whole house is rumoring that the young lady can't seduce the prince...... If this matter is a big problem, the reputation of the young lady will be ruined! ”
"What? What rumors? Chen Wanying trembled her lips and asked, "Mama Zhu, what kind of rumors are there in the house?" ”
Zhao Qingru was a little hesitant, her daughter was still sick after all, she was worried that she wouldn't be able to stand the blow, but Chen Wanying insisted on asking.
Mama Zhu had no choice but to say: "That dead mother-in-law actually spread the word everywhere and ruined the reputation of the young lady." ”
After Chen Wanying heard this, if she was struck by lightning, how important reputation is to women, if this spreads, let alone Li Junze, even ordinary men will not want her anymore.
"Mother!" Chen Wanying cried and threw herself into Zhao Qingru's arms: "You want to save your daughter!" ”
Zhao Qingru is also distressed, although she hates her daughter for doing things badly, but she only has one daughter, and the future honor and disgrace are tied to her alone.
"Ying'er, don't worry, my mother won't let you have anything to do, don't be afraid, Ying'er don't be afraid!" Zhao Qingru patted her shoulder comfortingly.
Chen Wanying cried a lot, and finally got tired, lying on the bed wilting and not wanting to move.
Zhao Qingru stood up, and Chen Wanying immediately grabbed her hand: "Mother, where are you going?" Don't go, I'm afraid! ”
"I'm going to beg your grandmother, who else can save you now but her?" Zhao Qingru patted her hand: "You can recuperate in the room, don't worry about things outside, my mother won't let these rumors hurt you." ”
Chen Wanying withdrew her hand, holding the quilt tightly, with tears on her face, this was not a weak appearance she deliberately made, but really fragile, but unfortunately no one appreciated it.
Zhao Qingru sighed, took Mama Zhu's hand and walked out, and went directly to Helan Garden.
Mrs. Zhao just learned about these rumors in the house, and everyone knows that Mrs. Zhao has always favored this daughter, and no one dares to touch her moldy head.
But Mrs. Zhao still knew, and as soon as she knew, Zhao Qingru came.
When Mrs. Zhao saw her daughter, she was angry and annoyed, and she wanted to lose her temper, but when she saw a room full of people, she didn't want her daughter to lose face, so she still sent people out, and only after everyone retreated, she dropped her face on her daughter.
"How the hell did you discipline Ying'er? How could she be allowed to do such a thing? Do you know that if this matter is not done well, the entire Zhao family will be affected by you! Old Lady Zhao reprimanded coldly.
I have to say that the old lady Zhao knew as soon as she heard the rumors that this was not a rumor at all, her daughter and granddaughter could do such a thing, so she didn't ask Zhao Qingru if the matter was true or false, but scolded them for being careless and almost burdening the Zhao family.
Zhao Qingru smiled bitterly and knelt down softly, with a weak posture, Chen Wanying is used to showing people with a delicate appearance, there is a reason.
