Chapter 5: The Enemy (Part II)

Jiang Yunxian looked this woman up and down, her eldest brother has not been able to marry a daughter-in-law because of epilepsy, and people can't do heavy work, but because of his surname Jiang, he is more treated than Jiang Yunxian, who was originally from the Jiang family. It turned out that they had this idea: the rent increase was fake, but it was actually a plot for her!

Jiang Yunxian is deeply influenced by poetry and books, she seems to be weak, but she is very strong in her bones, she can endure the ridicule of her clan on weekdays, but she doesn't want to suffer such an insult today, she screamed loudly: "Get out, you all get out of here!" ”

After speaking, tears rolled in his eyes unconsciously. The group of people in front of him are also their own mother's family, they have just died of their husbands, and they don't say comfort, they let themselves remarry when they open their mouths, and every sentence is like a needle in their hearts.

"You, you...... Even if I die here today, I won't let you succeed! As she spoke, she was about to hit the coffin, but the woman's eyes were quick and she grabbed her arm, but her forehead touched the coffin with a dull sound. The woman was so frightened that she hastened to give the patriarch a look.

The Great Zhou Dynasty attached great importance to the imperial examination, and treated scholars especially well, and the students on the list were the objects of the imperial court's attention. As far as Jiang Yunxian's father's status as a jinshi, whether it is Jiang Yunxian or Xia Meizhen, as long as they say it, it is an honor, which is more noble than the average white body.

If Jiang Yunxian was forced by them to touch the coffin and die, not to mention that they were civilians in vain, even the patriarch would not be able to escape the responsibility.

However, her actions angered the patriarch, who listened to his vicious threats:

"Okay, you can touch it, when you die, I'll send this girl to you for a funeral!"

The family of three is all dead, who will call the shots for you.

On the side, the girl trembled because of his words, and a sentence came back and forth in her head: He wants to kill me, he wants to kill me, he wants to kill me...... She had read some novels in her previous life, and she said that the head of a clan had the right to decide the punishment and life and death of the clan, and the clan not only could not resist, but also had to use their lives to enforce it, and even the law could not be used by the patriarch...... She used to think that these were compiled by the author of the novel, but she didn't expect it to be true, and she couldn't accept it at once, and she fainted in fright.

Seeing her faint, Jiang Yunxian howled, rushed over and hugged Xia Meizhen in her arms, Sister Zhen and Sister Zhen screamed.

Something like this happened suddenly, and the patriarch had to cough twice in embarrassment: "I'm just joking, look at what scares her." ”

He said cruel words, but once he encountered the real thing, he was the first to retreat, and then found an excuse and left, and the clansmen who came with him also left one after another.

Kangning Fang Li Mansion is the mansion of the rumored Li Yuanwailang who was poisoned by Xia Zhiyuan. At this time, there was a lot of vegetarianism inside and out, and even the flowers and plants were covered with white cloths, covering the gorgeous scenery.

Li Chengshan was listening to the housekeeper's reply in the study room of the outer courtyard, and when he heard the end, his face turned iron-blue, and he even slapped his palm on the desk.

Make a "pop" sound.

Steward Li, who was standing opposite, bowed his head and bent over, heard the sound, quickly raised his eyes and glanced at it, and found that the master was not angry with himself, so he shrank even more.

But Li Chengshan didn't make the next move, time seemed to have precipitated, and the housekeeper who was pressed couldn't breathe.

Just when the housekeeper couldn't stand it, Li Chengshan said: "You go down, where will a few aunts send someone to keep an eye on."

The housekeeper hurriedly responded, and when he walked to the door, he was stopped again.

"Young master, you know what to do, right?" He said.

"Yes." Bao Ye is the only heir of the Li family, and he is the person on the tip of the master's heart, so he naturally wants someone to be buried when something happens.

The housekeeper went out, and Li Chengshan raised his hand and swept everything off the desk, and fell to the ground with a bang.

He turned his head to stare at a portrait hanging on the wall, and said fiercely: "My father will not let you die in vain!" Even if you die, your father will find someone to back you up! ”

The person on the scroll is Li Chengshan's only son-in-law, who was born a romantic and suave person, and there is a mixed name outside, Bao Ye.

Bao Ye's lean body and bones are one day and one earth with his father. Holding an open paper fan in his hand, this is different from his father.

The plaque on the dome was tied with white silk, and at this time it rattled in the wind blowing in from the window.

A steward outside the door crept in.

"Master, the dog is back." He tried to only look at a pair of black cloth shoes on his feet.

After a while, a voice came from above his head: "Call him in." ”

The man came in, a half-grown boy, swarthy and thin, cowered and standing respectfully by the door, motionless. It's like you've been taught.

Li Chengshan sat behind the desk, took a sip of the tea re-brewed by the maid.

"Is there any movement from the family?"

"The little one has been guarding outside the courtyard of his house for two days, except for an errand officer in the yamen, no one else has come to the door, and I have never seen them go out," the boy said again, "Master, just now the little one met the second aunt's grandmother's Cui'er girl on the second gate, and I heard her say that the second aunt's long-haired dog was lost, I am afraid that the young master beat and ate, and she made people silent." ”

Although the master has always liked to make a small report to him, but now it is different from the past, and the steward glared at him fiercely on the side to remind him - don't say what you shouldn't say, be careful of your dog's life!

Although it is said that women don't raise dogs and men don't raise cats, but the second aunt and grandmother in the inner courtyard are dogs raised for the master, and the young master has always looked down on the second aunt and grandmother's frivolous appearance is well known in the house, if the young master eats this dog, the master must not say anything, but this is on the young master's life, then it is difficult to say.

"This must be an illusion made by someone, it's just a dog of the second aunt and grandmother, it happened that the young master ate it, and this kind of thing happened - this person is really vicious, dividing the relationship between the master and the aunt, and making us lose the young master!" The steward said very angrily, his face was flushed, and he didn't know whether it was hot or excited for his words.

"I know, you all go down." Li Chengshan is rare and not angry, it seems that the death of his son not only makes him ten years older, but also loses his anger.

But somehow, since this day, there has been a rumor in Xuanzhou Mansion.

said yes, Li Baoye was not poisoned by the chef at all, but by his own aunt, because the dog in the dog meat pot came out of the inner courtyard of the Li family.

Besides, in addition to Li Chengshan's original wife, the second aunt and grandmother also gave birth to a son, although it is a concubine, but if the mother is expensive with her son, it is not impossible for the second aunt and grandmother to do such a thing. But the housekeeper didn't dare to say this.
