Chapter Forty-Eight: The Concubine Offends His Wife

After listening to Shen's words, Mrs. Xia got up with confidence and said, "Don't be afraid, daughter-in-law, your father and mother will bear it for you." You just have to get justice for your big sister. ”

Shen naturally knew the measure, she carefully put Chu Qianyi into the arms of the nurse Mother Jiang, and asked Mother Jiang to take Chu Qianyi and follow Mrs. Xia and Master Pei out. The lady of the Marquis of Ningyuan Mansion hurriedly took the second lady, followed them, and also went out.

Chu Hua was relieved to see that the elders were no longer in Huifang Pavilion, and asked the mother-in-law who was waiting next to him, "Why haven't the aunts, young masters, and young ladies come over yet?" ”

After waiting for a cup of tea, the mother-in-law who went out to call someone just now brought Aunt Fang and Tong Xue over.

Aunt Fang's face was snow-white, and even her lips were bloodless, and she looked very weak.

Tong Xue had a big belly, supported her little maid, and walked over step by step.

"I've seen the eldest uncle, the eldest aunt, the second uncle, and the third uncle. - What's wrong with Hou Ye's face? "Tong Xue saw the opportunity quickly. She is the son of the Pei family, and she still has a little hearing of the Pei family's grandmother Shen, so she came over to give her a gift. Busy greeting Hou Ye again, the pure white eight Hunan skirts outside the action room flew up, revealing the apricot blossom-colored skirt underneath, red and white, extremely enchanting.

Shen Shi looked at Tong Xue's belly, then looked at the dress under Tong Xue, nodded, and said to Chu Hua: "Brother-in-law, it seems that you have to send Shun Tianfu today." If you don't send it, our Pei family will have no face, and we won't dare to call our relatives with the Marquis of Ningyuan Mansion in the future. ”

Tong Xue was taking the handkerchief and carefully wiping it on Chu Huajin's face, and when she heard this, she was shocked and touched the wound on Chu Huajin's face.

Chu Huajin was angry and had nowhere to go, looked down and caught a glimpse of Tong Xue's appearance, and saw that under the plain skirt outside her, there was a brightly colored bottom skirt, she couldn't help but be annoyed and angry, kicked over, and shouted angrily: "Shameless prostitute, I have been treating you all day long, so I don't take me in my eyes, and I don't look for a good time to die!" ”

Tong Xue is petite, she just arrived at Chu Huajin's chest, and at this time, she is padding her feet and wiping Chu Huajin's face. Chu Huajin flew up with a leg and kicked her right in the stomach.

Kiryuki screamed and fell to the ground and rolled over.

Shen Shi was taken aback, hurriedly put away a sneering look, and said to the mother-in-law next to him: "Quickly find someone to show Tongxue a look, this month, I was kicked by your Hou Ye, if there is an accident, won't your Hou Ye be uncomfortable for the rest of your life?" ”

Aunt Qi saw clearly on the side, and hurriedly helped Tong Xue up, and said to her mother beside her, "You go to the doctor and wait in the Chunjia Courtyard." After speaking, he blessed the eldest uncle and grandmother of the Pei family, and said: "The concubine was offended a lot just now, and I hope the two of you will forgive your sins." Wait for the concubine to settle Aunt Tongxue, and then come over in person to compensate Mrs. and the two. ”

Shen Shi saw that blood slowly seeped out from under Tong Xue's skirt, and he didn't stop her, and said to Aunt Qi: "She has her fault, you have your fault." You go and settle her first, and then come back and receive the punishment. ”

Aunt Qi was in a dark mood, but Tong Xue was more important, so she bent her knees and answered "yes", and hurriedly helped Tong Xue out.

Aunt Fang watched coldly from the side for a long time, and when Aunt Qi and the others walked away, they came up to incense Pei Shufan's spiritual seat, kowtowed, and saw the Pei family's eldest uncle and grandmother.

Shen Shi looked Aunt Fang's dress up and down with cold eyes, but it was plain from head to toe, and the Qi Rong on her face didn't look like she was pretending, she nodded secretly in her heart, and said, "It's hard for you, go to the side and rest." ”

Aunt Fang responded, walked to the corner where the three sisters of the Pei family were sitting, found an armchair and sat down, and did not speak.

"What about the two young masters and young lady?" Chu Hua waited for a long time, but he didn't see Aunt Lan and Aunt Gui coming, so he couldn't help asking.

The mother-in-law who went to call people just now came up with a timid face and bowed back and replied: "Back to the words of the Hou Ye." Aunt Lan said that she was sick and couldn't get out of bed, so she wouldn't be able to come today. The eldest young master coughed a little again, and Aunt Lan ordered someone to just send him medicine to eat, so he sweated and fell asleep. Aunt Gui said that the second young master also had a cough and fever, and she was inviting a doctor to take a look. Let the slave and maid kowtow to Mrs. Gui on behalf of Aunt Gui. As she spoke, the woman knelt down in front of Pei Shufan's spirit and wanted to kowtow to incense.

Pei Shuli, the third young master of the Pei family, couldn't listen to it anymore, and said angrily: "You get up for me!" - What kind of thing are you, you can kowtow for your aunts, and you can also kowtow for them...... Not! The word "go to bed" in the middle was not spoken, and the second young master Pei Shuyi hurriedly covered his mouth. Pei Shuyi knew that when the third brother was angry, he couldn't spit out any good words in his mouth.

"What are you covering my mouth for?! - They have done it, and no one is allowed to say it! Pei Shuli broke the second brother's hand and pointed angrily at the mother-in-law.

Pei Shuyi persuaded slowly: "The three younger sisters are here, and you will talk nonsense until the sisters go out." ”

The Shen family also felt that the three unmarried girls of the Pei family didn't look good here, so they walked over and whispered to the second lady Pei Shulan: "You take your two younger sisters and go to the front yard to find your mother and Qianqian." ”

Pei Shulan nodded, and hurriedly took the third sister Pei Shufang and the fourth sister Pei Shufen out without squinting.

When Pei Shufen walked past Chu Huajin, her footsteps paused, and she didn't dare to look up, so she had to go out with her two sisters.

When the three sisters of the Pei family left, the Shen family spoke: "Brother-in-law, the matter has come to this, it seems that only the officials of the Shuntian Mansion can invite the concubines of your mansion." - With such a big concubine room, it is no wonder that our aunt and grandmother died at the age of thirty when they were angry. ”

Chu Huajin didn't expect that Aunt Lan and Aunt Gui would have such courage and didn't even listen to their own words. Originally, it was three points of anger and seven points of guilt, but now it has become seven points of anger and three points of guilt, and he hurriedly said to the Shen family: "Uncle and grandmother, don't worry, if you don't give the Pei family an explanation today, I, Chu Hua, will go to the queen mother to receive the punishment myself!" ”

Pei Shuren, the eldest young master of the Pei family, saw Chu Hua carrying the queen mother out, his brows twitched slightly, and he still stood beside his wife Shen with his hands behind his back, watching coldly.

"You, you, and you, go to Aunt Lan and Aunt Gui's yard and lock them up with ropes for me! - There are also two rebels, their mother-in-law passed away, and they dare not come to the incense, which is really the opposite! Chu Hua pointed to the several mothers-in-law of Huifang Pavilion and assigned them one by one.

Seeing that Hou Ye didn't seem to be joking, those mothers-in-law hurriedly responded, took the rope and went to Aunt Lan and Aunt Gui's yard.

This time, in just a quarter of an hour's effort, several mothers-in-law had already tied Aunt Lan and Aunt Gui with ropes and entered the courtyard of Huifang Pavilion.

Chu Huajin walked out of the mourning hall of Huifang Pavilion with a gust of wind, looked at Aunt Lan and Aunt Gui who were tied up by five flowers at the bottom of the steps, and said coldly: "Kneel in the courtyard for me!" ”

The courtyard of Huifang Pavilion is paved with large bluestone slabs. It's cool in the summer, but it's cold in the winter.

Since Aunt Lan had her father and relatives kicked out of the Hou Mansion and sent to Zhuangzi in the south of the Yangtze River, she was so angry that she collapsed on the bed, and she couldn't eat or sleep well for several days. Now he was indiscriminately locked up by several mothers-in-law, and he didn't even have time to change his clothes, but he was still wearing a plum-red jacket inside, and a black fox skin fever coat was haphazardly covered outside.

Aunt Gui changed into plain clothes, but now that she has been tied up, she is a little frightened and her eyes are dumbfounded.

Hearing that Hou Ye said to let them kneel in the courtyard, Aunt Gui was the first to kneel.

Aunt Lan glanced at Hui Fangge hatefully, cursed a few words in her heart, and knelt down.

"Get the whip!" Chu Huajin shouted to the little guy beside him.

Aunt Lan and Aunt Gui looked up in amazement, watching Master Hou take a three-foot-long leather whip from the little maid's hand and slowly walk down the steps of Huifang Pavilion.

"Master Hou! Master Hou! Spare your life—— what mistake did the concubine make? Master Hou wants to punish us like this?! Aunt Lan and Aunt Gui begged for mercy in unison.

Chu Huajin sneered: "Are you willing to be punished here, or are you willing to be tied up in the Shuntian Mansion and punished according to the great crime of 'concubine and wife?!'" As soon as they heard about the "concubine's wife", Aunt Lan and Aunt Gui shivered in unison.

"Master Hou, Madame has passed away...... Aunt Lan timidly reminded Master Hou. The lady is gone, where is the wife? What kind of wives are they guilty of?!

Chu Huajin listened to Aunt Lan's words, and his face twitched twice. - A maid is a maid, and she will never be on the stage, it's really strange why she promoted her and let her give birth to her eldest son?!

There was a mother-in-law on the side who had received the benefits of Aunt Lan's mother, Mrs. Xu, and when she saw that Aunt Lan didn't know what was wrong, she hurriedly said something to wake her up: "Madame's spiritual position is just like Madame is alive." Aunt Lan should hurry up and admit her mistake to Hou Ye. - If she really becomes a 'concubine and wife', Aunt Lan will go to the yamen to take off her pants and collar board. ”

Aunt Lan's face turned pale, she looked up at Chu Huajin who was slowly approaching, with tears in her eyes, and Chu Chu called out pitifully: "Master Hou, it's all the concubine's fault!" The concubine is blinded by lard, and the concubine will go and kowtow to the lady's tablet now! So saying, he got up from the ground.

Chu Hua closed his eyes and swung out the whip in his hand.

Aunt Lan bore the brunt of the blow, and was whipped in the middle of her chest. There seemed to be a barb on the tip of the whip, and when it turned up from Aunt Lan's chest, Aunt Lan subconsciously turned her head and gave way, and the whip tip slashed into Aunt Lan's jaw, and blood immediately became dripping.

Aunt Lan screamed and quickly covered her head with her hands.

Aunt Gui saw Aunt Lan bleeding all over her face, and she screamed in fright and fainted.

Chu Huajin walked over, kicked Aunt Gui with his foot, and whipped her back several times.
