Chapter 113: The Storm Rises (3)
"Sister, thank you, if it weren't for you, I, me and the children would probably ---"
Qian was wearing a half-worn plain cotton skirt, with only a silver hairpin on her head, she held Wang Qifang's hand tightly with both hands, and choked up to thank her.
"Sister, what are you talking about. My sister took care of me a lot at the beginning, but now that my sister is in trouble, how can I sit idly by? Besides, I didn't do my sister much favor, "It's just a little money, in fact, even if she doesn't come out, the Qian family won't care." Although the Qian family is a married daughter, after all, she is the daughter of the Qian family, how can the elders of the parents watch their daughters suffer.
Besides, even if you don't look at the flesh and blood affection, for the sake of the family's face, the Qian family can't sit back and watch the Qian family women as slaves and maids, or even fall to a place like Kangle Fang.
No, Wang Qifang ransomed the Qian family and her two daughters with the front foot, and the Qian family sent someone to pick them up, and the people of the Qian family accompanied the Qian family to collect the bones of the Yang father and son, and then prepared to return to Qingzhou with the Qian mother and daughter.
"No, my sister's kindness, my sister has it in my heart."
Of course, Qian understood the meaning of Wang Qifang's words, but she was still very emotional in her heart.
That's right, she asked someone to write a letter to her mother's family in advance, but what her grandfather and parents were, and where would the Qian family be unclear.
The Qian family will indeed save themselves for the sake of face, but this rescue also takes time, if it is a step late, she and her daughter will be sent to a place like Kangle Fang, even if nothing happens, as long as her feet are stained with the soil there, her and her daughter's reputation will be ruined.
She doesn't care about herself, it's a big deal to die.
But as for the daughters, their eldest is only eleven years old, and if her reputation is ruined because of the dirty intentions of some people in the Qian family, she will not have the face to see her husband when she dies.
The Yang family is a great crime of rebellion, she can't save her son, she can only watch them being sent to Lingnan, as a mother, she is desperate enough, and now she can't even compensate for her daughter.
Fortunately, Wang Qiniang made a timely move, so that she and her daughters could be picked up by her mother's family for nothing.
In addition, there is another reason that the Qian family can't say, the Qian family is a merchant. Wang Qiniang is the mother of the new president of the Confucian Chamber of Commerce, she has a boudoir like Wang Qiniang, and she and her daughter are the people who were personally handed over to the Qian family by Wang Qiniang, so that when they return to the Qian family, the people of the mother's family can also look up to her.
Of course, she couldn't say these words clearly, she could only remember Wang Qiniang's kindness in her heart, and repay her when she had the opportunity in the future.
"By the way, there is something that my sister has wanted to tell you for a long time, but she has never had the opportunity."
Seeing that his daughters had been carried into the carriage by the Qian family, the Qian family thought that he might not be able to see Wang Qiniang for several years, and it might be too late if he didn't say something, so he whispered into Wang Qiniang's ear and said, "Be careful and quiet." ”
Wang Qifang's eyes widened suddenly, and she looked at the Qian family in surprise, but her mind was tumbling like a stormy wave, how did the Qian family know about the existence of Jing'an?
You know, Jing'an followed Rou'er into the Li family, not to mention outsiders, even Mama Chen, who helped the housekeeper, didn't care, how did the Qian family know?! And let her be careful? Be careful of what?
Seeing Wang Qifang's frightened appearance, Qian squirmed, a touch of perseverance flashed in his eyes, and said, "That's right, it's Jing'an, you must be careful of her." Also, sister, I don't know what happened between you and Li Mengzhu, but as a wife, as a mother, you have to hold the backyard firmly in your own hands...... The backyard is restless, and woe to Xiao Wall! ”
There is only so much she can say, and if she goes deeper, she and her children will not be able to save their lives.
Holding Wang Qiniang's hand tightly, Qian said, "Precious." , then turned around and got into the carriage, and followed the Qian family out of the capital.
Wang Qifang watched the carriage slowly leave, but she thought about Qian's words repeatedly in her heart.
"Grandma Da Shao, I think what Grandma Yang said is right, you are so good, even if those people have forgotten their identities, they are all bewitching, and they have made the backyard smoky, and they don't have to take the two little ladies with you."
Zizhu stood half a step behind Wang Qifang, and Qian didn't listen to all of his words, but faintly heard something "backyard," wife. , she thought it was Grandma Yang who heard about a few cousins
Sister's business, worry about the eldest and youngest grandmothers. When the two got into their carriage, she couldn't help muttering.
Wang Qifang was stunned, she just wanted to stay out of the matter, didn't want to pay attention to those women, let them stage different repertoire every day, and had the right to watch the play, but she forgot about the Yuan Niang and the young lady.
Oh, damn it, she's really damned, she let her daughters see such an unbearable scene all day long, by the way, last time Yuan Niang seemed to have deliberately mentioned it, saying that Rou'er ran to her every day to say some strange things, and she was worried about the things in her yard all day long......
Wang Qifang's face was full of guilt, she, she was such a failure, her daughter came to complain to her, but she didn't take it to heart at all.
"Grandma Eldest and Young Grandma, I know that you think that Lu Qiuniang and Cui Yunniang are both cousins of the eldest young master, you can't show it too obviously, but you can't condone their misdeeds. Sometimes, you have to take out the money of being the housewife, so that those evil guests with bad intentions know: if you want to be a guest of the Li family, you have to respect yourself: if you want to be the aunt and grandmother of the Li family, it depends on whether you agree or not........." Zi Zhu saw that Wang Qifang seemed to listen to his words, and he was secretly happy in his heart, and hurriedly relayed the words that Grandma Sun taught Yuan Niang to Wang Qifang word for word.
"Hmm~~" Wang Qifang responded with a long sigh and nodded: "It's time to clean up, Pingkangfang is my home, not everyone can come to the opera garden." ”
"Oh, my eldest and youngest grandmother, you can figure it out, you don't know, these days, the slaves and maids are suffocated, and they can't stand the breeze anymore. If there are elders in the house, it doesn't matter, obviously there are only you peers, and those cousins are dragging their families and running over, which is inevitably a little inappropriate. ”
The world values the bloodline clan, and it is nothing to have a down-and-out relative to vote, but how can there be a reason to eat and use others to calculate others? Also, it's not that she is stingy, there are people who defect to uncles and aunts in this world, how can there be people who defect to their cousins and sisters-in-law? It doesn't matter if you know the rules and know your duty, you should buy peace of mind with huā money, but they are all white-eyed wolves who sell dog meat with sheep's heads, and she looks angry.
"Hehe, listen to your belly full of resentment? Why, those distinguished guests are angry with you? ”
Zizhu is indeed her own person, but there are still some things that she can't tell her, Wang Qifang deliberately changed the topic and reached out and pinched Zizhu's bulging cheeks, and said with a smile.
"Grandma, people aren't worried about you, but you still make fun of the slave maid, it's really good to be kind." Zizhu's face turned red when Wang Qifang said it, and he pouted and complained dissatisfiedly.
"Okay, okay, it's all mine, wronged our purple girl, can't I compensate you?"
Zizhu's loyalty and intimacy made Wang Qifang's heart very hot, and her depressed and depressed mood gradually improved.
After a short while, the carriage drove into Pingkangfang.
After getting out of the carriage, Wang Qifang had just walked into the hanging door of the second courtyard, and Li Gui came up with an anxious face: "Grandma, something happened." ”
"What's going on?"
Wang Qifang paused and turned her head to look at Li Gui.
"That's right, in the afternoon, a few officials came to our mansion and said that they were the arresters of Yunchu County, Dingzhou Prefecture, and they came to track down the whereabouts of a few criminals."
Li Gui half-lowered his head and said in a deep voice.
"Guilty fù? How can there be a crime in our house? What the hell is going on, you tell me carefully. ”
Wang Qifang saw that there were still a few mothers-in-law and maids behind her, so she nodded at Zizhu and asked her to send everyone down.
Zi Shu silently responded, and then led everyone to retreat.
Wang Qifang led Li Gui to the hall, "Tell me, what's going on." ”
Li Gui bowed his head and stood at the foot of the hall, straightened out his thoughts, and said: "That's the case, there is a Tietang Nunnery in Yunchu County, this nunnery is no different from an ordinary nunnery on the surface, but it is actually a place dedicated to the detention of negligent people and maids, which is slightly better than the women's prison cells in the government. Last month, a fire broke out in Tietang Nunnery, but fortunately, the presiding officer handled it properly and evacuated with the prisoners in the nunnery in time, causing no casualties. But afterwards, when the number of people was counted, it was found that two people were missing. Because the people who were imprisoned in the nunnery were basically fù people who had made a big mistake, Yunchu County also had a record, and after verification, it was found that the two missing people were one"
Li Gui paused and glanced up at Wang Qifang in embarrassment.
Wang Qifang suddenly understood, sighed silently, rubbed her eyes and guessed: "But Rou'er and Jing'an? ”
Li Gui nodded with difficulty and said, "The little one was worried that they were mistaken, so he asked why the two of them were locked up in the nunnery." The official said that Rou'er was trying to poison her mother and half-sister, but fortunately the two were rescued, so she didn't send Rou'er to the official: As for Jing'an, he didn't ask why, and the official said that they didn't know either. ”
That's a problem. Wang Qifang couldn't help but think of Qian's appearance of stopping at his words, and had already put a big question mark and exclamation mark on Jing'an's name in her heart, "And then?" You continue.
"Yes" Li Gui retracted his gaze and continued: "The little one feels that this matter is related to relatives and is not easy to deal with without authorization, so he temporarily sent the official errand, thinking that he would make a decision when you and the eldest young master come back." ”
"Oh? What about the eldest young master? Isn't he out of entertainment today? ”
Wang Qifang remembered that when he went out today, Li Jingtian smiled and said that the group of friends had finally let him go, and he could rest and rest.
"Back to Grandma Dayan, not long after you went out, the eldest young master hurriedly went out, saying that there was something important to do, and the affairs of the family would be handled by you."
Li Gui's narrative was a little faintly worried, because the eldest young master's face was not very good-looking, as if something big had happened.
Wang Qifang didn't speak, she looked at a certain place in a daze, and suddenly, she raised her head and said, "Are those officials real?" Can there be problems with road guides, waist cards, etc.? In addition, since they came to get people, do they have official documents from the county government? ”@。
