Prime Minister's Office.

Xue Chang's face turned pale: "You used my banner to let your clan uncle instruct Fang Nongyan to sue Ruan Chunjun?!" ”

"Daughter...... My daughter didn't say that! Xue Fangmi has been deeply loved by her father since she was a child, but she also knows that Xue Chang is used to her and is used to her, and it is impossible for her to be left and right in the real big thing, so when he saw that his expression was wrong, he immediately softened his tone and argued weakly, "When my daughter was visiting her aunt, she just mentioned a few words that hated that person!" ”

She tried to be well-behaved and pitiful, "I think so...... My aunt misunderstood my uncle? ”

"You dare to quibble!" Xue Chang has a very high prestige in the court, and the queen mother wants to give him decency, but he is very kind at home, especially for his daughters and granddaughters, he is particularly indulgent - from the fact that Mrs. Xue caused him so much trouble, he couldn't bear to say anything serious, it can be seen that this power is very good relative to his family.

But in the end, her daughter is different from her sister - not to mention the difference in seniority, Mrs. Xue is not a person who does not know proportion, and it is just a miscalculation of Yang Yi's decision to mess things up this time; But Xue Fangmi, this daughter has already caused trouble one after another in Ruan Qingyan's matter!

"What did Ruan Chunjun do to make you so entangled and troublesome with him?!" Xue Chang looked at his daughter's petal-like little face and was reluctant to teach her a lesson, but he also made her kneel, and then said bitterly, "Don't think I don't know your little thoughts-isn't it just that you don't want to marry him and don't want Qing'er to marry him?!" I don't care about you about this, and I persuade your eldest brother to forgive you, it's good for you, you still have to get along with him! You really think he's my protégé, and I'll just rub it and pinch it round?! ”

Xue Fangmi heard this and knew that she couldn't help but tell the truth, and pouted: "I'm just angry that Jiang Yashuang refuses to marry!" ”

"What's the matter with this Guan Chunjun?!" Xue Chang was stunned - as the prime minister, he had to manage all kinds of opportunities and guard against political enemies, and of course his attention to the affairs of the backyard was far less than Xue Fangmi, the eldest lady who had nothing to do all day long. At this moment, I couldn't help but wonder, "Do you think that Jiang Yashuang refused to marry you because she couldn't get used to seeing you humiliate Chunjun in public?" Aren't you asking for it?! ”

"Jiang Yashuang has a personal affair with Ruan Chunjun's cousin Ning Yi County Lord, and in order to make Ruan Chunjun angry, Ning Yi County Lord deliberately instigated Jiang Yashuang to openly refuse to marry so as to lose my face - otherwise, it is against you, father, how can Jiang Yashuang not leave dignity for our family like this?" Xue Fangmi said aggrievedly, "My daughter is embarrassed to come out of the door now......"

"I'm embarrassed to go out, but I can go to your uncle's house to mess with right and wrong?!" Xue Chang sneered, "Don't think that if I hurt you, you will fool me as a fool!" The news of Jiang Yashuang's refusal to marry was deliberately spread by the Gu family after spying, and people didn't mean to lose face for our family! And are you a dead man when you are the Duke of Qin! Could it be that a woman who hasn't passed the door yet will point fingers at this kind of major matter involving the decency of the Xue Jiang family?! ”

Xue Fangmi was speechless and pursed her lips: "My daughter knows her mistake!" ”

Xue Chang stared at her for a moment, and sighed gloomily: "It's because I used to indulge you too much!" If this continues, sooner or later it will hurt you! ”

Originally, although his face was ugly, his attitude was not intense, Xue Fangmi thought that this time was the same as before, and he could mix it up if he was coquettish, but he felt that something was wrong when he listened to it, and hurriedly said: "Father......"

But Xue Chang didn't bother to listen to her continue to explain, but ordered someone to call his eldest daughter-in-law, Xue Sun: "How are you doing lately?" ”

Xue Sunshi was inexplicable and said cautiously: "If you go back to your father, everything is fine with your daughter-in-law." ”

"In that case, don't work hard for your mother-in-law anymore." Xue Chang said lightly, "In addition, your mother went early, the so-called eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, and you must pay more attention to the teachings of Mi'er in the future!" ”

The unexpected joy came too suddenly, Xue Sun couldn't believe it, and tried to suppress the urge to laugh at the sky, she looked at Xue Fangmi, who was full of anger, and said cautiously: "My sister has always been smart and ......polite."

As soon as Xue Chang heard it, he knew that she was afraid that Xue Fangmi would be pampered and unwilling to be disciplined by her, so he immediately said, "What kind of etiquette does she know?" Even if she is the same age, she is about the same age as Qing'er! You taught Qing'er very well, and in the future, you will teach her better than Qing'er - when you are disobedient, you should be like Qing'er, and since you are the eldest sister-in-law like a mother, it is natural for a mother to beat and scold her daughter! Even if she is not sensible now, she will always know how to appreciate you in the future. ”

Xue Sun's family has been in the door for so many years, and he doesn't know that although Xue Chang is often in harmony with his family, he has always been good at talking. Since he said this, as long as he didn't go too far in the future, even if he openly taught Xue Fangmi, he wouldn't ask questions. He didn't ask, and took over the power of the Nan clan, what is the eldest son and daughter-in-law of the Xue Sun clan afraid of?!

"Daughter-in-law, thank your father for his trust." Xue Sun's worries were no longer worrying, and he assured with high spirits, "My daughter-in-law must teach my sister well!" ”

The heavens have eyes! Cheap. You can be regarded as falling into the hands of the old lady, see that I can't kill you femme fatale who pit your niece's marriage three times and twice!

quickly disposed of the troublesome daughter, Xue Chang calmed down, and called his favorite grandson Xue Rongying to discuss countermeasures: "How do you appease Chunjun now?" ”

"Fang Nongyan can't stay." Xue Rongying did not hesitate, "The confrontation between master and apprentice is a taboo in the eunuch field!" Especially the little aunt humiliated Ruan Chunjun in public before, in the eyes of outsiders, our family is already sorry for him, which instructs Fang Nongyan to accuse Ruan Chunjun of the matter must not be admitted! Speaking of this, he sighed, "Uncle Clan is really confused!" actually directly sent his own family to spread the word - if he doesn't kill Fang Nongyan now, once people know that it was the clan uncle who sent someone to instigate him, how could he not think of his grandfather? ”

He didn't say the last sentence: Xue Chang has now been involved by the Ding family, and it is easy to catch up with the opportunity of the death of the old general Ruan - if it is known that Fang Nongyan tells Ruan Qingyan that he has something to do with the Xue family, Xue Chang will definitely be in worse trouble here!

"Extinguish the mouth or not, this is not something that our family can calculate." Xue Chang shook his head, "Don't forget that your little aunt did this without us, if it weren't for Ruan Chunjun sending someone to explain today, we wouldn't know about it until now!" ”

This can't all be blamed on the men of the Xue family for not being angry, it is really because they are busy dealing with the offensive of the Queen Mother's Party these days, and it is inevitable that they will neglect their family members - I didn't expect Xue Fangmi to be willful and stupid to such an extent, and he didn't even pay attention to the well-known rules of master and apprentice, I really thought that with Xue Chang's father, he could be rampant and domineering, and he didn't even let go of hand-picking Hanlin!

So Xue Chang will have to deal with the aftermath for this daughter: "You go, go to Ruan's house, and ask Chunjun and Fang Nongyan in private...... This person, what is he going to do? By the way, make amends for me - in fact, the matter was caused by your little aunt, and your father should have gone over, but at the moment, I am afraid that it will attract people's attention, and it is better for you to go safely. ”

Xue Rongying arrived at the General's Mansion according to his words, and explained that everything was made by Xue Fangmi: "My grandfather attaches great importance to editing, and often uses editing to motivate our brothers, how can he instruct others to harm editing?" ”

Since Ruan Qingyan told Xue Chang the matter clearly, of course, he didn't want to fall out with the Xue family, so he immediately expressed forgiveness and understanding-so after the two of them reconciled on behalf of the two families, they discussed Fang Nongyan's disposition - for such a little person, in Xue Rongying's eyes, he was like an ant, Ruan Qingyan could do whatever he wanted!

He had already prepared Ruan Qingyan as Fang Nongyan's brother-in-law, and if it was not convenient to deal with this brother-in-law in person, he would be ready to do it himself.

As a result, Ruan Qingyan burst into tears when he heard this, and said: "This matter is not clear in a few words, and the lower officials also heard from the people around the sister that there are no elders in the Ruan family now, and the cousin is young, I am afraid it scares her." If you can, Xia Guan wants to ask Mrs. Sun for help......"

"What does he want me to help with?" Xue Sun, who had just taken over the power in the backyard and received the responsibility of teaching Xue Fangmi, was in a good mood, and was very surprised to hear his son come back and say this, "What can I do to help him as a woman?" This will be General Ruan's only going, he won't ask me to help say goodbye, right? ”

Xue Rongying couldn't cry or laugh: "Mother, where do you want to go?" Ruan Chunjun wants to ask you to ask a few ladies to check on Miss Ruan's ......" He was awkward for a while before he said with a strange face, "Body!" ”

Xue Sun was taken aback: "Why is this a request?" Could it be that Fang Nongyan still dared to beat his wife?! ”

"The child doesn't know, maybe that's the case?" After all, it is inconvenient for men to ask more about this kind of topic, Xue Rongying guessed, "The child listens to Ruan Chunjun's meaning, and he doesn't know much about it - they all heard the people around Miss Ruan reveal some speculation." This time, I also wanted to take the opportunity to ask my mother to make a decision. ”

"That's right, no matter how much he cares about his sisters, after all, he is also a person who is about to marry a wife, so he can't check it out in person......" Xue Sunshi rubbed his eyebrows, still feeling a little puzzled, "Even if Old General Ruan was involved in Fang Nongyan, but when Old General Ruan didn't have an accident, he took great care of him...... The so-called one-day husband and wife are 100 days, how can Miss Ruan be his wife, and she has also given birth to children and housework for him, is Fang Nongyan so mad? ”

…… The next day, several noble ladies who were inclined to the Xue family gathered in the backyard of the General's Mansion, gossiping and talking badly, Ruan Ciyi couldn't resist everyone after all, and shed tears to relieve the decrepit and filial piety on his body.

The white linen filial piety clothes faded off, and some of the noblewomen already let out an exclamation of disbelief: "Ah! ”

"How so?!"

Xue Sun's family had already been mentally prepared because of his son's penetrating tone, Rao was like this, and after seeing the dense scars on Ruan Ciyi's complete back, which were obviously new and old wounds, he couldn't help but clench his veil!

"Poor boy! You...... You've been abused by that brute for so many years?! Before Xue Sun's could speak, one of the noblewomen couldn't hold it back, so she stood up, stepped forward to put on a robe for Ruan Ciyi, and carefully hugged her and cried, "When your father and mother were there, how noble were you?!" It's only been more than ten years, and it's ...... It's like this! ”

Hearing this, Xue Sun glanced at the noble lady, and suddenly said: "Yes, I remember that Sister Feng, you talked to Miss Ruan's mother about Mrs. very well back then, and you once pointed to marriage, but later you gave birth to a daughter in your first child......

Mrs. Feng wiped away her tears and choked up, "What else is it best to say?" Before my sister passed away, she entrusted me to take care of the child. As a result, I was released with my husband the following year, and I only came back last month - I heard that this child also returned to Beijing, and I was very happy, but I was busy with some trivial things at home, and I didn't have time to meet this child! I ran over today and saw such a scene-how do I explain to my sister in the future?! Where do I still have the face to say that I am good with my sister? ”

immediately begged everyone, "You all know that I was as good as a sister when I talked to my sister, and now her only daughter has suffered such a big insult, that is, the lawsuit is brought to the queen mother and the queen, and I will also seek justice for her!" Please give me a testimony! ”

The noble ladies here today were originally biased towards the Ruan family according to the Xue Sun family's intentions, and now they have seen with their own eyes how terrible the injuries on Ruan Ci's back are—they are also women, and they are also worried that they will be angry and abused by their husbands after the fall of their mother's family, so they don't need Xue Sun's provocation to hint at it, and they all grit their teeth one by one, and they can't wait to kill this beast with a face and a beast's heart as soon as possible!

…… There are so many noble ladies to corroborate and spread, and the injuries on Ruan Ciyi's back are solid evidence, and even the blind doctor can't deny that those injuries have accumulated for at least five or six years!

In this case, Fang Nongyan's case against Ruan Qingyan did not wait for Ruan Qingyan to finish guarding the seven-day spirit, and he was directly linked to Fang Zijun's slander of his mother-in-law, shackled to prison, and accused him of the crime of spoiling his concubine and killing his wife!

And Ruan Qingyan wrote a blood letter overnight at the same time, asking for a break with the Fang family!
