Chapter VIII

"This matter has to be talked about as a drama about Wei Xuangong building a stage and accepting his daughter-in-law." Xu Chu sighed lowly, and said in a calm voice, "There is a saying in ancient times that this custom has been strictly forbidden since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but in fact, it has not been broken among the people. In the theater, there are also jokes about the repertoire of the daughter-in-law, and the most brilliant one is Wei Xuangong's stage construction. ”

"I think Young Master Qian left the table angrily at that time, not because of the matter of taking a concubine, but because that scene touched the embarrassment that you didn't want to face in your heart."

At this time, the people in the hall were unconsciously dumbfounded, and even the Zhang family and his wife were a little at a loss, if it was really their daughter's adultery, let alone being killed, even if they were still alive, they would be sunk in the pond. Not to mention his life, I'm afraid that my reputation will be trampled to the ground.

Young Master Qian looked at Xu Chu, and only felt that the voice that he had felt kind at the beginning was extremely harsh at this time, but it made him have a strange look on his face. He lowered his eyes and silently listened to the story told by Xu Chu, only feeling ironic and funny.

"Your change is since the young lady's miscarriage, according to the next person, you were still in love before the young lady's miscarriage. After the young lady became pregnant, you would personally bring all the tonics, and even put down the business in hand. Xu Chu frowned, sighed slightly in his heart, and said softly, "Then I found out that Ying'er had taken Linglingxiang, but the guy who took the medicine for Ying'er disappeared after that day, and then I asked carefully along the guy in the medical hall, but found that someone said that Young Master Qian had gone to get fetal medicine for the young lady that day." Then, I checked the luggage left by the guy and found that there were still a dozen pennies left behind. How could a poor man give up the copper plate? Either the matter was urgent and he didn't have time to get it, or he got more reward, and the reward was against his will, so that he didn't dare to wait for a moment and left in a hurry. If I guessed correctly, Young Master Qian should have followed Ying'er to take Lingling incense that day. Lingling incense has the effect of contraception and abortion, and it is self-evident where Young Master Qian uses this flavor for medicine......

"The people involved in this matter, except for the next people, are only Master Qian, his stepwife, Young Master Qian and Ying'er. In addition to the subordinates who don't know the truth, the only ones who can directly prove that the young lady died just after noon are the stepwife and Ying'er, Ying'er proves that the young lady had orders before noon, and the step-lady proves that the young lady was still resting at noon. But if Ying'er was lying, what if it was Ying'er who was talking to her stepwife across the screen? ”

Because he consciously discovered the scandal of the young lady, the little friendship that Young Master Qian had for the young lady was exhausted, and it was replaced by endless disgust and hatred. But you also know that the Qian family is still in charge of the Qian family, and the step-wife is still young, and she may give birth to a younger brother for you at any time to replace you as the heir. And the Zhang family is your dependence, as long as you don't tear your face for a day, you will be the son-in-law of the Zhang family for a day, and the young lady is an only daughter, so no matter what, the Zhang family's property will also have your share. Xu Chu's eyes stared at Young Master Qian for a moment, "It's really ...... to work so hard Presumptuous manhood. ”

If Young Master Qian was still holding on strongly, then at this time, his face turned completely pale, and sweat oozed from his forehead. He pursed his lips tightly and stared at Xu Chu with shame and unwillingness, but when he saw Xu Chu's face as usual and did not dodge, he lowered his head and unloaded his strength in frustration, and laughed miserably: "Retribution, it should be retribution." ”

"Kier...... You, you, you, you're so confused. For a moment, Mr. Qian seemed to be many years old, and he sat down on the seat to hide his face and weep.

It was originally a manifestation of deep affection for licking calves, but it was particularly ironic when it fell in the ears of Young Master Qian, who had just given up resisting, he suddenly jumped up and glared at Master Qian and said, "Am I confused? If you hadn't defiled your daughter-in-law by disobeying human ethics, how could I have come this far! I don't know that you've been in a bad relationship with that slut and have done all the disgusting things in my marriage room! ”

Xu is venting, and Young Master Qian doesn't care about any ugliness, so he just vents with all his heart. When he saw Master Qian's more and more trembling appearance, he laughed, "If you want me to raise my brother as a son, you have to see if I'm happy or not." Don't you want to know how the daughter of the Zhang family bled more than once, don't you want to know how she had a miscarriage, the doctor said that it was caused by blood loss, but in fact, I coaxed her to drink the abortion pill......"

"I have always known that Aunt Xun has the habit of eating and drinking, plus her old eyes are dizzy, and she can't look at the door, so I changed my clothes and pretended to be a subordinate to enter the house that day. I was full of anxiety, but I didn't want God to help me, but the woman was actually drunk and didn't see me at all. This Qian Mansion has long been deserted because of the slut's miscarriage, so it is so simple to avoid people's eyes and ears. Young Master Qian shouted hoarsely, "I wanted to live with her." ”

But the slut didn't know how to repent, and he did it again. I gave you a chance to change your ways, and you still don't know how to collect it, so don't blame me for being ruthless. Young Master Qian said angrily, how could there be half an elegant and handsome appearance, especially the hatred in his eyes, as if he killed Mrs. Qian and still couldn't relieve his hatred, "She didn't admit it when she died, it's really pitiful, and she begged me to spare her......"

Xu Chu glanced at Master Qian and Mrs. Qian Jiaji, and when he saw the sadness on his faces, he couldn't help sighing: "Although it is said that it is self-inflicted, it is only the pity that the young lady is infatuated with you." ”

"You are talking nonsense, that slut is afraid that he wants me to die early, how can he be infatuated with me." Young Master Qian's face was hideous, like a fierce beast that couldn't swallow the person who was babbling nonsense in front of him.

However, Xu Chu was unmoved, still staring at him, frowning for a moment before slowly speaking word by word: "It is not Mrs. Qian who has an affair with Master Qian, I think it should be Ying'er." Ying'er was in the mansion as a stand-in for Mrs. Qian, but she had a head and end with Master Qian by chance, and Mrs. Qian borrowed Ying'er's identity...... Going out to find a doctor......"

As soon as these words came out, not only did Young Master Qian forget his madness just now, but even Master Qian couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Mrs. Qian Shao has been judged by the doctor to be difficult to get pregnant since the last miscarriage, she doesn't know the internal cause, but she feels ashamed of you because of the miscarriage, so she wants to secretly seek a doctor in order to have another heir." Xu Chu's voice was extremely calm, and he hesitated for a moment, but he still continued, "There have been rumors in the house and outside that the step-lady had an old relationship with you, and the step-lady has not shied away from it, and has come to the door many times, but as far as I know, the young lady still respects the step-lady very much, and I think it is also to let you understand her a little more." It is really sad that a woman can do this for her husband. ”

"She knows that she is in good health, but she wants to continue to have an heir for you. It wasn't until she heard from the doctor that it was difficult to get pregnant because she had eaten something too cold and hurt herself. Maybe we can roughly guess that she already had doubts about the miscarriage at that time, but she didn't dare to let people investigate, let alone let people know, so she tried her best to borrow Ying'er's identity to go out for medical treatment. As for Linglingxiang, it was not what Ying'er bought for the young lady at all, but the contraception she used after her affair with Master Qian," Xu Chu's gaze crossed Young Master Qian's sluggish face, and said without hesitation, "I speculate that the young lady and Ying'er have exchanged identities more than once, firstly, because there are beads worn by the young lady under the bed, and secondly, when she went to the Yunhai rouge shop to buy gouache, the young lady even bought osmanthus head oil." You must know that the young lady does not like to lower the specifications of the hair oil, the things she uses must be precious, and no matter how much she values the maid, it is impossible to deign to be the maid's comprador head oil. Later, I checked the records of the young lady's shopping on weekdays, and then checked Ying'er's records, and sure enough, I found that Ying'er, an unmarried woman in Yunying, had repeatedly looked for a doctor to treat Gong Han and other diseases, and the silver spent was as much as a few dozen taels twice......"

"Young Master Qian, if you are brave, dare to come forward and confront you when you find out about that unfortunate thing, or be patient and careful with your wife, how can you not find the mistakes and clues in it? Couples who share the same bed can come to a point like you, which is really pitiful and pathetic. ”

In the midst of a series of blows, Young Master Qian suddenly stepped forward and shouted, "Impossible, impossible...... I saw that she had medicated my soup......"

"You only saw her drugged, but you didn't know if she was drugged, wolf and tiger medicine or poison. She wants to have an heir, and you don't want to sleep with her, how can she not want to? Xu Chu shook his head, looked at the dumbfounded and speechless Young Master Qian, and continued, "I speculate that after the young lady eagerly brought you the soup, you didn't drink it, but fed the soup to the wild cat in the backyard, but the wild cat ran away immediately, and that night you heard the wild cat's tearing call, so you concluded that the young lady's medicinal powder was for your life." But you don't know that the sound of a wild cat is already terrifying when it is in heat......"

As he spoke, Xu Chu set his eyes on Ying'er who was kneeling and sobbing, and Ying'er was crying in a low voice at this time, which was a little more miserable and sad than the previous embarrassment and begging for mercy.

"Probably Ying'er found something, or someone provoked something, so she teamed up with Ah Sheng to replace the pillowcase. If in normal times, they only need to burn the pillowcase, but Ah Sheng saw that the pillowcase was beautifully made, and thought about selling it for some copper coins, so he actually stole the evidence out of the house to hide. ”

After speaking, Xu Chu looked at Xiao Qinglang, who was playing with the tea cup in the upper seat. Xiao Qinglang didn't make a sound, raised his head and motioned for Wei Guang to bring people up, and then continued to watch from the wall.

After a few breaths, Wei Guang dragged Ah Sheng, who was gagged with a white cloth, into the house, and then threw the pillowcase with silver silk outlined and embroidered mandarin ducks on the ground.

"Back to the prince, the stolen goods were obtained, and his subordinates also interrogated Ah Sheng according to what Miss Xu said, and he has already confessed, it was Ying'er who took the pillowcase that day and said that he had damaged it, and let him take it out of the house to deal with it." Wei Guang clenched his fists in return, and swept towards Ying'er with a cold gaze, only to see Ying'er trembling.

"Ying'er, don't you say it yet? At that time, the young lady, that is, your young lady, was afraid that she had not yet lost her breath, why did you be ruthless again? Xu Chu asked in a deep tone.

At this time, Ying'er's face was already pale, Xu was frightened by Ah Sheng's tragic situation, and seemed to know that he was at the end of his rope, so he cried directly: "I don't know, I didn't mean to...... Not me...... It's ......"

Although Ying'er's upside-down pleas for mercy stopped abruptly, it did not prevent Xu Chu from seeing her eyes on her step-wife, who had been motionless and silent.

"Who is it?" Xu Chu squinted, in fact, she had already guessed in her heart that if this matter was not provoked by someone, I am afraid that it would not have developed to the point where it was now miserable and humane.

It's like Young Master Qian can "catch" the rape in bed every time, but every time he is appeased by someone in time to appease his anger and anger. And Ying'er has been serving Mrs. Qian conscientiously for more than ten years, even if she knows her life experience, she has never done anything like Yu Yue, how to get the Qian family has no sense of proportion, not only is she not involved with Master Qian, but she even acts in her young lady's room regardless of taboos.

"I don't know...... I don't know...... "Ying'er cried miserably," it was the step-lady who said that the master wanted to take the slave and maid, but the young lady wanted to give the slave and maid to Ah Sheng, if so, I am afraid that Ah Sheng will be resentful for the rest of his life, not only will he not treat the slave and the maid well, but also abuse the slave and the maid. And the lord will no longer pity the slave and maid, and will even abandon it like a mustard. The step-lady also said that she had to cover up the young lady's affairs, otherwise the slave and maid would not only be dragged to the guilt, but might be killed directly...... At that time, the young lady was dying, but she heard the conversation between the slave and the stepwife, and the slave didn't want to be punished by the young lady, so she ......"

Xu Chu glanced up at his stepwife, and saw that she was sitting on the side as if no one was there, which was really a good intention, and she was still faint and unflustered when she was recognized. Compared with Master Qian and the young master of the Qian family, how can they be one or two outstanding?

For a while, there was silence in the room, and even Xiao Qinglang stopped playing with the teacup and looked at a few people. Especially after Ying'er identified Mrs. Ji, it was even more stunned.

Master Qian looked sideways at his stepwife, and asked a little blankly, "...... madam?"

"Oh, when did I teach you to lose your conscience like that? Who does the lord want to accept, and how can I, a woman, control it? The young master should naturally pay for his life if he kills someone, so why do you need to take the blame? The steplady met everyone's eyes and sneered, "You girl can't be a demon!" ”

Seeing the step-wife's calm face, it made people more and more confused. Especially Ying'er, she was even more confused, thinking about it, it seemed that her step-wife really hadn't taught her what to do.

Up to now, in fact, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the matter is indispensable to the stepwife, but no one can come up with evidence. After all, the step-lady only said a few words through the screen at most, and she didn't even admit that it was Ying'er and not the young lady who visited her a few times.

A farce came to an end, and both Young Master Qian and Ying'er Asheng were imprisoned for intentional homicide. The next thing, Xu Chu no longer cared, she took the reward from the Zhang family, and went to the county government with the toolbox on her back, after all, the temporarily borrowed tools will have to be returned sooner or later. As for the true thoughts of Mrs. Qian Jiaji, or the forces involved, she didn't have the heart to delve into it......
