In Ji Chengru's heart, his Ji family has been noble for generations, and he can be called the benchmark for scholars in the world, but he was maliciously speculated by his wife. How could she do that?

Ji Chengru was indignant.

Although my mother didn't like what she said, she acted a little too much. But after all, it was the wife who was at fault first, she didn't want to reflect on her mistakes and find a way to repent, but she slandered her husband's family so maliciously.

Could it be that in Ye Xinyi's eyes, he and the Ji family are the kind of people who tend to be inflammatory?

Thinking of the words "Tend to Flame", Ji Chengru couldn't help frowning.

Although he was reluctant to admit it in every way, his parents, especially his mother, really couldn't stand his attitude towards his wife.

Therefore, he knew that Ye Xinyi was inappropriate in many things, and she was not as virtuous and virtuous as she and many people advertised. He has been trying his best to protect Ye Xinyi, trying to make up for his family.

But this time, the wife is really excessive.

Ji Chengru returned to his yard, and most of the people in the courtyard held their breath, bowed their heads to do things, and did not dare to make a loud noise. To Ji Chengru's surprise, there were several newcomers added to the courtyard of the couple.

These people Ji Chengru knows, and they are the powerful daughter-in-law and mother-in-law in the hands of his mother.

His face was a little unpleasant, and his mother didn't tell him about it. These people were supporting their subordinates in the courtyard, and when they saw him enter the door, they hurriedly saluted and said hello.

That is to say, this yard has actually been taken care of by his mother, and his wife has really been confined by her mother. How could a mother do this!

This is just a thought, and when it crossed Ji Chengru's mind, it died down. It was his mother's decision, and he had no position to openly confront it. Now, all he and his wife can do is to be patient for the time being, and follow their mother's wishes.

Fortunately, the people who were waiting in the room were still Ye Xinyi's original big girls.

He waved his hand away from Qing'er's servant and walked into the room.

It was cold in the room, and although it was noon and the sun was shining high in the early winter weather, the sun was shining coldly on that sunny day, and the weather was getting colder.

Ye Xinyi sat alone on the kang, looking through the half-open window, staring out of the window blankly, not knowing what she was looking at. The residual makeup and tears on her face are still there, but there is no sadness anymore, and her face is blank and bleak.

Ji Chengru was originally a little angry, but when he saw such a wife, he felt that his wife was very pitiful. He stepped forward, sat down on the edge of the kang, and called softly, "Lady." ”

Ye Xinyi's dull gaze moved, and then she retracted it still sluggishly, fixed on Ji Chengru's face. After a while, he calmly asked, "It's already noon, but Brother Sheng hasn't come back yet." Mother really didn't let Brother Sheng see the concubine again, right? ”

Ji Chengru didn't expect Ye Xinyi to be so calm, but listening to her question, he felt both sad and inexplicably dangerous

He paused, and said half-comfortingly: "Mother is angry now, and it is inevitable to do extreme things. All you have to do is follow your mother's instructions and settle down to copy the Buddhist scriptures. When my mother is angry, I will persuade her, she sees that you do have the sincerity to repent, and she will not insist on separating your mother and son. ”

"When did you say that?" Ye Xinyi continued to ask. The tone was still calm, and the content of the question was very simple, but Ji Chengru couldn't answer.

yes, when was that? A month or two months is definitely impossible, even a year or two may not be possible. Fathers and mothers advocate perseverance, they want to see their wives' determination to change, and in the eyes of parents, one year or two does not explain anything.

The corners of Ye Xinyi's mouth curled unconsciously, "Three years and five years? Or ten or eight years? Then in these long years, there will be many people whispering in Brother Sheng'er's ear, saying how his mother is disobedient and unfilial, how vicious and immoral, and how she is from a low background and cannot be on the stage. Even if I can see Brother Sheng again after many years, how can he be close to me? ”

While talking, Ye Xinyi looked at Ji Chengru very seriously, "If this is the case, my life will be ruined, and there will be nothing." Without the support of his father, he lost the love of his aunt, his mother's family would not protect him, and his husband's family disliked it. Now, I don't even have a son. ”

Ji Chengru listened to Ye Xinyi's words, and his heart was bleak.

At that time, he married a well-known boudoir woman in the capital, although his wife was a concubine, she acted generously and decently, graceful and talented, and had the strong support of her mother's family. No matter how you look at it, the wife is by no means inferior to the concubines of any wealthy family.

In those years, the couple did live in harmony and happiness, but now ......

"Don't be discouraged, lady, you still have me, I will teach Brother Sheng well, and I won't let him be separated from you."

Ji Chengru's words were so pale and powerless in Ye Xinyi's ears. Her father and aunt have been in love for more than 20 years, and in those more than 20 years, her father will not even look at other women, but in the end?

After that, things took a turn for the worse, and after Ye Xinyi realized that she had lost everything, the only dowry she could hold in her hands, she didn't plan to take it out at all.

Her idea is reasonable, and there is nothing wrong with it. Even if she took out the money and put down the matter of Dongze Construction Bank, the Zhou family would never change her attitude towards her.

And it is not her fault that the construction workers can't get their wages and that things are getting bigger. She is now confined in the back house, and she is not allowed to take a step out of the house, she is powerless.

Even if Dongze Construction Bank begged for wages, it was the Ji family and the Ye family who were looking for it, and they couldn't find Ye Xinyi, who was in the back house.

In the days that followed, the rumors showed no sign of abating, but intensified. While condemning the fourth grandmother of the Ji family, the virtue of the Ji family was also questioned by many people.

The next day, just after the hour, the workers of Dongze Construction Bank really blocked the door of Ji's house. Some are clamoring that they can't live, and some people are crying and kowtowing at the door of Ji's house, begging Master Ji, who reads the sage book, to give their poor people a way to live.

Ji Xiaoyuan's father and son rushed back when they heard the news, and after a brief discussion with Mrs. Zhou, they did not pay the wages in advance, in order to calm things down.

If that's the case, under the mouth of the crowd, wouldn't it be true that the Ji family treats their daughter-in-law harshly and calculates their daughter-in-law's dowry?

This matter was handed over to the Beijing Yamen through normal channels.

You Chenghui received another hot lawsuit. The benchmark Ji family of scholars, and the first-class honorable Anguo Mansion of the imperial court, are all things he can't afford to offend.

Fortunately, he was able to summon the two stewards who contacted Dongze Construction Bank, and the matter was not complicated, and the trial was quickly clear.

Dongze Construction Bank is in the name of the fourth grandmother of the Ji family, and half of the silver purchased by Dongze Construction Bank on the same day was from Ji Si's grandmother, and the other part was Ji Si's grandmother's mouth can be a lotus, fooling her father Ye Hongyang, and turning the seller into a way to make up for her daughter.

Ji Si's grandmother used Dongze Construction Bank to calculate her sister-in-law, but not only did things go wrong, but the business of the construction bank deteriorated, and it could no longer support it in the first half of this year.

So, Grandma Ji Si simply ignored it and threw the pot directly to her father Ye Hongyang. And Ye Hongyang had no money, and even the utensils in the pawn room were discovered by An Guogong and punished, so this situation appeared. Women are expensive
