Chapter 123: Admit it yourself
From the beginning of the Wang family's trouble, Shui Qingqing didn't say a word.
Because, she has nowhere to argue and nothing to say.
And Queen Chen, who watched all this coldly, knew that she couldn't refute it, so she deliberately asked her in public if she was the daughter-in-law of the Wang family.
Hearing Queen Chen's words, the eyes of the audience fell on Shui Qingqing.
Before Empress Chen spoke, everyone present was wondering why the county lord of Guanqing didn't say anything to refute whatever the Gui clan said.
It stands to reason that if the Gui family's words are to slander her, as a dignified county lord, she will not be afraid if she has the Hou Ye to support her.
Therefore, seeing this situation, everyone couldn't help but believe Gui's words more and more. Looking at Shui Qingqing's eyes, he couldn't help but have a strange and even disgusted look.
Because as Princess Le Yi said, if Shui Qingqing had been married before and had a husband's family, and then married Mei Zijin, it would be more than one daughter to marry, and it would be a cheating marriage, which really made her tongue smack!
Thinking that this county lord had married each other before and ruined his relationship with the prince, everyone's eyes on her were even more complicated and contemptuous.
In the ridicule of everyone, Shui Qingqing was lying on the ground cold, her hair was pulled by Princess Leyi, but she didn't feel it at all, because she was so desperate and panicked that she was numb.
Mei Zijin, who came back to her senses, was about to step forward to help her up without thinking about it, but was pulled by the old lady.
The old lady was so angry that her whole body trembled, and she desperately grabbed Mei Zijin and said angrily: "Are you deaf? She's a married woman, what else do you want to do? β
Mei Zijin's eyes turned red, and she gritted her teeth and said coldly: "Does Mother believe these people's slanderous words so much? Ben Hou believes in Guan Qing. Except for her words, Ben Hou didn't believe anything else he said. β
After that, Mei Zijin shook off the old lady's hand, rushed forward, helped Shui Qingqing up, hugged her into her arms distressedly, and said in a trembling voice: "Don't be afraid, no matter what they say, I won't believe it." I only believe what you say, you won't lie to me......"
was hugged into Mei Zijin's arms again, and then listened to his comforting words, Shui Qingqing's heart ached sharply, and the tears she couldn't hold back finally broke the embankment-
In fact, no matter how Emperor Chen and the Gui clan teamed up to expose and slander her, she didn't care.
What she cares about is that she lied to Mei Zijin, she doesn't know if he will forgive herself?
Also, after learning about her unbearable past, knowing that she used to be such an unsightly person, will he feel deceived and disgusted like everyone else?!
The despair and panic in her heart, and even more speechlessly faced Mei Zijin's deep inferiority complex and guilt, making Shui Qingqing feel like someone was choking her throat and couldn't say a word......
Until she heard his comforting words, her heart shook violently, her chest was torn apart layer by layer, and she choked up with her difficult lips: "Master Hou, I'm sorry...... I lied to you......"
As soon as Shui Qingqing said this, the audience fell silent, and everyone looked at her dumbfounded.
Even if everyone had already begun to fall to the Gui side before, they believed her words. But now that she heard Shui Qingqing admit that she was the daughter-in-law of the Wang family, everyone was still shocked.
Empress Chen smiled without a trace on her face.
Bai Lingwei laughed even more, Princess Le Yi gasped, and the next moment she was already angry and laughed: "It's really ridiculous, people who obviously have a husband dare to remarry, and the entire Dajin can't find a second person, it's really incredible."
And the most shocked and devastated were Mei Zijin and Mrs. Hou.
Since Shui Qingqing said this, Mei Zijin seemed to have been stabbed with a sword in the chest, and she was in pain.
Before, no matter how much the woman said, no matter how much they slandered, Mei Zijin knew very well in her heart that they might be telling the truth, but they still didn't believe it.
Because from beginning to end, he believed only Shui Qingqing in his heart.
Or maybe he doesn't want to admit this fact, because once she admits the relationship between Shui Qingqing and the Wang family, she can't marry him again, but wants to go back to that foolish husband, how can he endure it, how can he bear it? !
Moreover, as long as she doesn't admit it, he believes in her and will desperately protect her......
But now, she personally admitted the relationship with the Wang family, but it made him fall into deep despair and helplessness, his sharp eyes turned into dead silence in an instant, and he looked at her in disbelief, his face became pale, and he said, "You...... What did you say? β
Seeing Mei Zijin's devastated appearance, Shui Qingqing was embarrassed, and her heart was even more painful, and her eyes were blurred with tears.
She wanted to explain it to him, but she didn't know how to explain it, because ...... Everything is a fact.
She had already lied to him once, and she didn't want to lie to him again.
What's more, she knew that if she denied the words of the Wang family, the Gui family would definitely tell her about planting seeds and giving birth to children.
She is already so unbearable, she doesn't want to be in front of the whole capital, let alone in front of Mei Zijin, let him know that she has had sex with other men, and she doesn't want everyone to know that Yun'er has an unidentified father.
She is already miserable, she doesn't want Yun'er to live in the white eyes of others anymore, and she doesn't want others to chase him and scold him for being a wild seed!
At this moment, if it weren't for Yun'er, for her poor child, Shui Qingqing would have been desperate to die headlong, she really didn't want to live......
With a grim face, Shui Qingqing let go of Mei Zijin's hand, knelt down in front of him, and said with a white face and trembling voice: "In the Western Desert before, I did have a relationship with Wang Dingbao...... I lied to Hou Ye, I am sorry for Hou Ye, I beg Hou Ye to forgive me......"
The moment she let go of her hand, Mei Zijin's hand was empty, and her heart was even more painful and empty!
The deep eyes looked at Shui Qingqing with a miserable face in despair and sadness, and Mei Zijin's cold face was already pale. Trembling lips and laughing miserably, "No, your ex-husband is dead...... That's what you told me...... Do you have any problems? Don't be afraid, with me, I will definitely protect you, and you don't say things against your will...... Please, I beg you not to recognize him as your husband!! β
In the end, Mei Zijin pointed to Wang Dingbao, who was kneeling on the ground with a runny nose, and was already so painful that he roared!
How could he be willing to accept that he regarded as a precious woman, a woman who cared for and gave his life to love, should marry such an idiot and live with such an idiot - even if she could not marry him in the end and stay with him, he would not be able to see her live such a miserable life!
The next moment, Mei Zijin suddenly went crazy, suddenly stepped forward, stretched out his ape arm, and instantly clamped Wang Dingbao's neck, and said fiercely with red eyes: "Benhou killed you, you will no longer be her husband!"
Mei Zijin suddenly made a move on Wang Dingbao, which made everyone stunned again, but Rao is Shui Qingqing didn't expect it.
Although Wang Dingbao's body is strong and tall, he is soft and has no strength, so he can't move at all after being restrained by Mei Zijin, and after crying twice, he was pinched by his throat and couldn't make a sound.
Gui and Wang Biao, who were kneeling beside him, saw that their son was pinched, but they were in a hurry, and hurriedly stepped forward to rescue him. Lord Jingzhao Yin Liu also led people to step forward and pull away Mei Zijin, but they were all frightened by Mei Zijin's fierce murderous aura, and no one dared to approach him.
In this way, even Li You, who had been sitting leisurely and drinking tea, stood up and stepped forward.
Li You's eyes looked at Mei Zijin's hand pinching Wang Dingbao's neck, and sneered coldly: "Master Hou, is this going to kill people in front of the whole Beijing?!"
Mei Zijin's strength in his hands was undiminished, his eyes were cold and fierce, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Does the prince think that this will spread me and Guan Qing?" It's vile and ridiculous! β
Li You sneered disapplauded: "Master Hou is used to slandering good people. This palace just doesn't want Hou Ye to be charged with being a bully wife, and he doesn't want Hou Ye to do such a stupid thing in front of everyone - does Hou Ye think that if he kills Wang Dingbao, he can be with the county lord again? Hou Ye is ridiculous! β
Looking at Li You's arrogant appearance, Mei Zijin hated in her heart, and was about to speak, Shui Qingqing, who came back to her senses, was also helped up by Xiaoxi and stepped forward with a white face, looked at Wang Dingbao's red face, and said urgently: "Master Hou, please let him go quickly, Dingbao doesn't understand anything, and he doesn't know anything...... He's just a poor man, let Hou Ye let him go! β
Old Madam Hou also stepped forward and said sharply to Mei Zijin: "Let go, are you trying to force your mother to death?"
After that, in front of everyone, Mrs. Hou couldn't help but raise her hand and slap Mei Zijin hard.
'Smack! β
The heavy slap shook the hearts of the audience, and even made Mei Zijin, who was so sad and angry that he was almost crazy, suddenly shook his whole body.
The clamped hands were weak to put down, he loosened the force in his hands and let go of Wang Dingbao.
Mrs. Hou's slap seemed to wake up Mei Zijin, he didn't care about the hot pain on his face, let alone the humiliation of being beaten in public, he looked at Shui Qingqing who was guarding in front of Wang Dingbao with grief, thinking that she was going to be taken away from him again, but she had to live with such a person for the rest of her life, and her heart seemed to be split in half by life, and her heart was torn apart, and even her lips were pale and bloody.
The next moment, his throat was filled with fishy sweetness, and he spurted blood with a 'poof' sound, and fainted with grief......
Mei Zijin's sudden vomiting of blood and fainting made everyone panic.
The moment Mei Zijin fell to the ground, Shui Qingqing was beside him, and without thinking about it, she wanted to step forward and hug him, but she was pushed aside by the hand that was stretched out next to her, but it was Princess Leyi who stopped her.
"Slut, you have hurt Brother Zijin so badly, you don't want to touch him again!"
Shui Qingqing's mind was already roaring, her eyes couldn't see other people and things, and there was only a noise left in her ears, but when she saw the blood gushing out of Mei Zijin's mouth, her heart was also painful, and it hurt vigorously, which made her breathless.
Since she was a child, the old lady has never slapped her son, and it is too heartbreaking to slap Mei Zijin in front of so many people today.
Now seeing him vomiting blood and falling into a coma, Mrs. Hou also shed tears, and the muddy tears rolled down all the way, burning her heart.
She asked Sanshi to carry Mei Zijin down, and her eyes flashed coldly across Shui Qingqing's face who was sluggish on the side, and then wiped away her tears and turned to face a room of guests, and said in a sad voice: "Relatives and friends, I'm sorry for letting you see such a big joke." Today's family business, no longer count! So the wedding banquet can't be done, please go back - the gift money you gave to the Hou Mansion, and then the old body will send someone to return it one by one, and you have to work! β
As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar again, and the faces of Queen Chen, Bai Lingwei and others finally showed a satisfied smile.
And Shui Qingqing, when she heard the old lady's words, her eyes suddenly darkened, and there was fishy sweetness in her throat, but she swallowed it desperately.
She was grief-stricken and desperate, but she was also relieved, and she knelt there with dead eyes in her eyes, allowing one guest after another to pass by her, casting a look of contempt and disgust at her......
A good wedding has become a big scandal, how can the face-loving Mrs. Hou endure it, announced the marriage in public, and dismissed the guests.
Everyone who came back from the surprise saw that Mrs. Hou personally ordered the expulsion, although everyone was curious about the final progress and result of the matter, they still withdrew and left according to their words.
And with the departure of so many guests, everything that happened in the happy hall also spread all over the capital like wings, and in an instant, everyone knew that the famous county lord of Guanqing had become a relative before, and the husband was still a stupid and dumb fool.
In this way, the old things about Shui Qingqing before were turned out by everyone again, whether it was the original Chongxi lady, or the repetition of the marriage contract with the prince later, and then to the fact that he was about to marry the marquis, but at the last moment, the husband came to the door and was withdrawn...... Pile by pile, all of them made everyone excited and ashamed, and bluntly said that this Guanqing county lord, I am afraid that the woman with the most corrupt reputation in the Great Jin Dynasty is even worse than the prostitute in Qinglou......
Such a big thing will naturally be transmitted to Bai Mansion and Bai Haoqing's ears.
Although Bai Haoqing has always disliked Shui Qingqing, he was still stunned when he heard the news.
At that time, the Yang family and Bai Lingxuan of the Ning family were eating together in the dining room with Bai Haoqing, and Uncle Hu ran in from outside with a white face, and said in a panic: "The master is not good, the eldest lady has an accident in the Hou Mansion."
Hearing this, the Yang family, who had been worried about the progress of things in the Hou Mansion, was relieved, and the wolf dish that had been swallowed for a long time in his hand was finally eaten leisurely.
And the others were shocked when they heard the news, including Bai Haoqing!
Bai Haoqing put down the dishes and chopsticks and said coldly: "If you get married, what will happen?"
After such a big incident, Hu Bo dared to hide it anymore, and said in a trembling voice: "I heard...... I heard that the eldest lady had promised a family and become a relative in Ximo, and now the husband and her in-laws have come to the capital, and today they went to the door of Jing Zhaoyin to beat the drum and voice their grievances, suing Hou Yeba for marrying a wife, and went directly to the Hou Mansion Xitang......"
As soon as Hu Bo said this, everyone was shocked and everyone changed their faces, and even Bai Haoqing, who had always been calm and ruthless, changed his face when he heard this.
Only Yang's unobtrusive hooked lips smiled!
Ning and the others were completely shocked. Bai Haoqing came back to his senses the fastest, and the first thing that came to mind was the son that Shui Qingqing brought back, and his heart was cold, and he was even more angry.
When Bai Lingwei was abandoned by the Hou Mansion and sent to the prison cell because of the murder and snatching of the child, in order to save the life of his daughter, the Yang family reluctantly confessed to Bai Haoqing that Bai Lingwei killed and snatched the child, and it was from then on that Bai Haoqing knew that the daughter of the Bai family he had just recognized had already had a child.
Bai Haoqing, who was shocked and angry, also asked the Yang family about it, and asked who Yun'er's biological father was?
And the Yang family only learned from Sister Jin that Shui Qingqing's belly child was a wild seed, and he didn't know who his father was.
Therefore, Bai Haoqing at that time only thought that Shui Qingqing was misbehaving when she was living among the people, and she had children before marriage, but she never thought that she would become a relative and have a husband.
Now that he heard the news, Bai Haoqing only felt a bang in his head, and his brain was so angry that his brain was congested.
Putting the dishes and chopsticks on the table, Bai Haoqing gritted his teeth and said coldly: "Did she admit it?"
Hu Bo looked stunned, and said cautiously: "The eldest lady admitted it on the spot, and ......"
Thinking of the rumors outside and the husband Shui Qingqing married before, Hu Bo felt that his face was gloomy, even if he was just a small steward of the White Mansion, and he hesitated to say the following words.
Hearing that Shui Qingqing admitted it on the spot, Bai Haoqing's face instantly turned dark, and he gritted his teeth and said, "And what?" What's going on, my face has been lost by this evil girl, what else dare you not say?! β
Yang Shi also said anxiously on the side: "Careless, what else do you have to hide now?" Let's say it together, so as not to worry the master. β
Hu Bo had no choice but stiffen his hair and tremble and said: "The master doesn't know, the person who the eldest lady married before was an idiot and dumb fool...... Now it has been spread all over the capital, saying that the daughter of the Bai family married a fool, and now she is cheating on marriage, wanting to marry one daughter and two times, and achieve good things with Hou Ye...... Mrs. Hou picked up the guests who went to the banquet on the spot and announced that the marriage was no longer done! β
As soon as Hu Guan said this, the table gasped, and the entire table was stunned.
"Sure enough, it's the scourge of my Bai family!" Bai Haoqing scolded angrily, and was so angry that he flipped the table on the spot!
Yang's eyebrows and eyes were almost happy, but he pretended to be frightened by the sound of Bai Haoqing lifting the table, covered his face with a silk, and motioned for the Ning family to retreat quickly.
As soon as everyone left, Yang stepped forward to help Bai Haoqing, who was so angry that his chest hurt, to sit down, while asking the maid to clean up the wreckage in the house, personally brought tea to his mouth and fed him to drink, helped him caress his heart, and said heartbrokenly: "Don't worry, master, be careful of your body......
Bai Hao said angrily: "I really never expected that she would become a relative without telling us...... also admitted on the spot, so, let our Bai family's face be put there. The prime minister didn't expect her to shine on the lintel, but she didn't expect that she was specifically smearing the family, making the Bai family the laughing stock of the world, and offending the Hou Mansion for this - she really shouldn't have recognized her as a return! β
Listening to Bai Haoqing's words, Yang's heart blossomed, but there was a heartache on his face and persuaded Bai Haoqing: "Fortunately, she and the prince divorced at the beginning, otherwise wouldn't it be the royal family and the crown prince who would have offended-but now that the matter has come out and she admitted it on the spot, what should I do about it?"
Yang said as he cautiously looked at Bai Haoqing's expression, and said cautiously: "Since the Hou Mansion doesn't want her anymore, does the master want to pick her up?" Do you want...... Go to the Hou Mansion to see the situation?! β
Yang's words instantly aroused the anger in Bai Haoqing's heart again.
Moreover, as shrewd as Bai Haoqing, when he heard that the Wang family could directly break into the Hou Mansion Xitang, he immediately understood in his heart that behind the Wang family, there must be someone supporting and cheering.
Thinking of this, Bai Haoqing's bone-cold eyes looked coldly at the Yang family beside him, and said coldly word by word: "The matter of the Wang family, did you already know about itβperhaps, everything that happened in the Hou Mansion Xitang today is your masterpiece!?"
Being looked at by Bai Haoqing's terrible gaze, the Yang family shuddered with excitement all over his body, and hurriedly said: "What did the master say, how could the concubine know about the existence of the Wang family?" And the concubine has been staying in the mansion today and working hard to handle the eldest lady's marriage, and she has never left the Bai Mansion for half a step, let alone going to the Hou Mansion Xitang, the concubine has the ability to do this?! Master, don't wronged your concubine indiscriminately......"
Listening to Yang's words, Bai Haoqing's expression darkened, and his brows tightened-
Yes, relying on the Yang family alone, I am afraid that the Wang family does not have such a great ability to break into the Hou Mansion Xitang.
Could it be that everything is a conspiracy between the crown prince and Empress Chen?
Thinking of this, Bai Haoqing's whole body was cold, and he understood that his guess was right.
Because looking at the entire capital, there are only three people who can suppress Mei Zijin, that is, Emperor Jin Ming, Empress Chen and Prince Li You. As far as he knows, Empress Chen and Prince Li You both went to the Hou Mansion for a banquet today.
Since he guessed that it was the idea of the crown prince and Empress Chen, he didn't want to offend, and he couldn't afford to offend.
Moreover, Shui Qingqing admitted her relationship with the Wang family on the spot, and was withdrawn by the Hou Mansion in front of everyone, this daughter is completely ruined.
In Bai Haoqing's eyes, such a daughter who has no hope and smeared the family, Mo said that he would pick her up again, even if he was a beggar passing by the door of the house, he would have to drive her away with a stick.
Moreover, since the Hou Mansion was able to withdraw from the family in public and did not want her, it was enough to see the anger of the Hou Mansion on this matter.
Therefore, in order not to burn himself with anger, Bai Haoqing only has one thing in his mind now, that is, to break off the relationship with Shui Qingqing and protect himself!
The idea was set, Bai Haoqing didn't want to delay for a while, and immediately got up and walked towards the academy.
Yang Shi watched his expression change uncertainly, and was about to worry that he would suspect him, and when he was afraid and worried, he saw Bai Haoqing suddenly get up and go outside, and couldn't help but feel nervous, and chased after him and said, "Where is the master going!?"
Bai Hao said coldly without replying: "This prime minister wants to write a severance book - to cut off the father-daughter relationship with that evil girl, remove her roster from the genealogy of Baifu, and withdraw her 'Bai' surname, from this moment on, she will have nothing to do with our Baifu!"
Bai Haoqing's ruthlessness Yang had personally understood, so when he heard that he had severed the father-daughter relationship with Shui Qingqing, Yang was not surprised at all, and happily stepped forward to help him polish his ink in person.
In this way, Shui Qingqing, who was retired by the Hou Mansion on the spot, was about to send someone to Bai Mansion to call Bai Haoqing to determine the matter of rejecting the family, but what she received was Bai Haoqing's letter of severance to drive Shui Qingqing out of the Bai family......
