Chapter 125: Confronting the Inspectorate (3)
Ding Ruzhen saw Chen Lin and the Li family's father and daughter behaving like this, and pondered for a moment, could it be that today there was a lot of thunder and rain, and a vicious battle actually made a mother-in-law take off her armor even by pushing and beating? He glanced at his colleagues who were not angry, and then looked at Lian Baitang, who was silent, but Xu Qiu'an's eyes were full of disdain.
He then said politely to Li Chongyuan: "I don't blame Lord Li for this matter. "Such a thing as a child bride has always been seen only in remote mountain villages, and it is rare for scholars to have such a thing. Li Chongyuan and his daughter are really a little wronged in this regard.
The cold light in Bai Tang's oblique phoenix eyes suddenly appeared: "Mrs. Chen, I only ask you one word!" ”
Liu Shi cried so much that the old powder on his face melted, and he described it as tragic and miserable: "Lian, Lian Gongzi just ask!" ”
"Now that the marriage is over, Wan Niang's deed of sale, can you return it to her?"
Chen Lin secretly hated: This Lian Baitang can always disrupt the situation at a critical moment!
Liu was stunned and squeaked: "This-the deed of sale has been a long time, and I can't find it for a while!" ”
The imperial history officials present, which is not an old fritter in the officialdom, immediately understood what Bai Tang meant.
"That's right!" Qiu An preemptively said, "Since the marriage contract is no longer counted, your son has married another woman." Wan Niang has helped your family make cattle and horses for so many years, and you haven't returned the deed of sale to others? Are you thinking of using this deed of sale to control Wanniang at a critical moment? ”
"No, no, no!" Liu was told the central matter by Qiu An, and hurriedly shouted, "I really can't find it!" For so many years, I have loved Wanniang as a daughter, how can I remember the deed of sale? ”
Ding Ruzhen was extremely disgusted with this woman: "Can't find it? Do you want the official to send someone to search for it? ”
Liu closed his eyes and said, "Don't be angry, adult, it's because I'm too old to remember the place!" She hurriedly said to Yun Luan, "My daughter-in-law went to my room to look for it." It's either in the cabinet under the bed, or in the mother's makeup box, this is the key! ”
Yun Luan respectfully took the key to get the deed of sale, not to mention it.
Ding Ruzhen sighed secretly: Lao Li is blind, it's a pity that he has such a good daughter!
"There is one more matter, this official wants to ask Chen Juren and Master Li." Ding Ruzhen's face was flat, contrary to the previous pleasant face, "On the first day of the new year, someone reported to the government office, saying that he ran into a robber on the outskirts of the city and robbed a woman!" ”
Everyone is discolored: it actually made people break it?!
"Listening to the informant's description, the woman who was robbed is very similar to Wan Niang. Chen Juren, Lian Gongzi said that Wanniang went to your house on Chinese New Year's Eve, and your whole family also entered the Xiangqixia Temple on the first day of the new year, and Wanniang only returned to your home the day before the Lantern Festival after she went, these days, where did Wanniang go? ”
Liu Shi shouted first: "My lord, it must not be Wanniang who hijacked away!" Otherwise, how could Wan Niang stand here intact, right? ”
Li Chongyuan felt a chill from the soles of his feet and rushed straight to his heart! Something is not right!
Chen Lin lost all his blood, and his body was like a frozen fish on the lake, and he was about to suffocate when he saw it.
"Wan Niang," Ding Ruzhen said to her gently, "Did you encounter robbers on the first day of junior high school?" ”
Wan Niang was just about to reply, Bai Tang hurriedly shouted: "Lord Ding! It's about women's festivals, adults should be cautious! ”
Ding Ruzhen shook his head: "Lian Gongzi has thought about it, if you let go of the robbers and their masterminds today, it will be difficult to guarantee that he will do it to you again one day!" Wan Niang, you can't be affected by Songzhu Zhai because of you, right? ”
Xu San was pinched by Bai Tang's arm and exclaimed in pain: "It hurts, why are you pinching me?" ”
Everyone stared at them inexplicably: At this time, they still have the heart to flirt?
"Ahh Xu San understood, coughed and said fiercely, "Which person who doesn't have long eyes dares to fight the idea of Songzhu Zhai?" I skinned him! ”
Ding Ruzhen was speechless, no wonder His Majesty secretly joked that this master could suppress demons and subdue demons!
Bai Tang looked at Wan Niang deeply and shook his head gently.
Wan Niang pursed her lower lip, looked at Chen Lin for a moment, smiled suddenly, took the pen and ink specially prepared for her, and wrote a few lines and handed them to Lord Ding.
After Ding Ruzhen saw it, he sighed softly: "It turned out that someone asked you to guide you in weaving skills, so I left for a few days." He had a slight sneer on his face! There is Wanniang's sentence, which is enough!
Chen Lin and Li Chongyuan didn't know whether to breathe a sigh of relief or a sigh of relief, Wan Niang was cunning!
"And you pointed them out?" Ding Ruzhen asked with a smile.
Wan Niang shook her head, her expression indifferent and arrogant.
Ding Ruzhen bowed slightly. Although Wan Niang is a woman, her style is no less than that of a man.
At this time, Yun Luan came back with Wan Niang's deed of sale. didn't look at Liu and Chen Lin, and directly handed over the deed of sale to Wan Niang, and gave her a deep look.
Wan Niang returned the courtesy. Looking at this deed of sale that obviously did not belong to her, but had trapped her for three years, she did not hesitate to tear a few pieces and throw them in the Boshan furnace. The yellowed pieces of paper turned charred and blackened in Mars.
Chen Lin closed his eyes. He knew that since then, Wan Niang has been reborn! She can really live in this world openly as Wan Niang. No shackles or threats!
It's just, is she willing?
In a trance, Chen Lin remembered the most difficult days in his life. He was forced to leave his former home and live in a rented house in the city. But after the family's money was lost to Wanniang's parents, there was not much left, and the rice and grain distributed by the court were only enough to fill the stomach. He has to pay rent every month, and he has to socialize, and Liu is used to being comfortable, and he can't do anything, let alone make money to support his family. Relying on the little money he copied books, when will he be able to raise enough money to participate in the Autumn Festival?
Liu inevitably started the idea of marrying a daughter-in-law again. If there is a family with financial resources that takes a fancy to their son and sets a parent, this matter will be easy to do! It's a pity that no one dares to marry their daughter into the Chen family, where her mother-in-law is lazy and lazy, and she is poor and white!
The person who really had this thought turned around and went to Liu's hometown to investigate, and immediately broke off his thoughts!
This kind of mother-in-law, no matter how powerful the son-in-law is, it's useless!
Just when they were at a loss, a young girl moved in next door.
The girl's face was wounded, and her throat was so bad that she couldn't speak. I was alone again, without a mother-in-law and maid to accompany me. Maybe there was a young widow who would not allow her in-laws to come out and live alone? It is also possible that the concubine who failed to compete for favor in the inner house and was kicked out?
In the past, how did Liu look down on her?
But she soon discovers that this girl can weave! And the woven cloth sells for a good price! Usually a woman weaves a piece of cloth and sells it for a constant amount of money. She can sell a plain silk for two taels of silver!
Good daughter-in-law who can make money! She thought about it, so she came to ask what she meant, he was also a hero who was stumped by a penny at that time, and he was at the end of his rope. But when I heard his mother say this, I still couldn't cry or laugh: You dare to marry a girl of unknown origin?
Liu sneered: "What's wrong with the unknown origin?" As long as she can earn money to support her family, even if she is a widow, I will admit it! "It's a big deal, when she gets in the way, she kills like she did with Wanniang! Of course, this time she has experience, and she will never let people get the handle again!
"You have to think clearly! If you can't raise any more money, I'll see what you do! ”
Chen Lin hesitated for a moment.
