Chapter 257: Divorce and Abandonment of Daughters (Part II)
Chapter 257: Divorce and Abandonment of Daughters (Medium)
The mother-in-law who was sent to the Tao family finally brought the news back, Yaohua sat on the chair and listened to the mother-in-law explain the situation, and when she heard her heart gradually beating uncontrollably, Yaohua forced the panic and asked in a low voice, "How is the mother's situation now?" ”
The woman said dejectedly: "The eldest lady was already sick, and she fainted when she heard such words. ”
Jade said hurriedly, "What can I do about this?" ”
Yaohua wanted to get tea, but as soon as her hand reached over, her fingertips shrank and retracted.
The mother-in-law said: "Mother Chen said to go and talk back to my uncle and my uncle first, and let my uncle come forward to talk about it, the eldest lady has also been famous for running the house outside these years, and the old lady's illness is already serious, how can she believe what she said before she died, if so, wouldn't everyone in the house be guilty." ”
Although what Chen's mother said was reasonable, her grandmother invited the elders of the clan to corroborate it, and it was not something that could be decided by others, the key was to look at the attitude of several elders.
For the first time, Yaohua felt panicked.
The mother-in-law said: "The slave heard the family say, otherwise look for the eighth aunt and grandmother, and the eighth aunt and grandmother may be able to speak for the eldest lady in the clan." Although the eighth aunt and grandmother are married daughters, they always have a fate, and the elders in the clan may take care of the face of the Xue family, after all, this is a family ugly, and the reputation of the Xue family will also be affected when it really makes trouble. The mother-in-law said with a flash of her eyes, and persuaded her: "Grandma can also ask people to find the eighth aunt and grandmother, and let the eighth aunt and grandmother stand out for you." ”
Tao Ronghua is just recorded in the name of the eldest wife, and no one can say whether he will stand out for the eldest wife. Yaohua grabbed the veil, she was sure that Tao Ronghua would never help her. From the moment Tao Ronghua entered the mansion, she felt Tao Ronghua's hostility and alienation towards her, and she carefully protected herself while guarding against Tao Ronghua, but she didn't expect that one day she would not be able to escape Tao Ronghua's design.
Just because she is a concubine, Tao Ronghua is a concubine.
Yaohua's eyes turned red when she thought about it, "The eldest sister didn't interfere in the affairs of the eighth sister, let alone me." It has always been more than the icing on the cake, and less charcoal in the snow. ”
Everyone understood the meaning of these words, after all, grandma and eighth aunt were not born and raised by the same mother.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became solemn.
Yaohua didn't say anything for a while, but only instructed the mother-in-law, "Go back and inquire, and come back to tell you if there is any new news." ”
The mother-in-law bowed and said, "Grandma, don't worry." ”
The mother-in-law left, Xiangzhu changed a cup of hot tea for Yaohua and stepped forward to comfort, "Otherwise, let people go to the prince to come over, let the prince think of a way, grandma is because of this family affair is so embarrassed by the mother's family, grandma has no fault at all, if it is not three days after getting married to go back to her parents' house, the old lady is seriously ill Grandma has no reason not to go back, no one will come back to the house today, and even more said that he is not allowed to come to the door, so he can't say it." ”
"Grandma's family business is the words of the matchmaker at the behest of the parents, and grandma can't be the master herself, even if the clan blames it, she can't blame grandma."
Jade puffed out her cheeks beside her, "What I said is that as long as you make the prince tougher, those dirty things won't be splashed on grandma." The people of the tribe said this, obviously instigated by others. ”
Just said a few words, Yaohua's sideburns were already wet, Xiangzhu took a pillow and asked Yaohua to lean on, Yaohua closed his eyes.
The old lady disappeared the day after she got married, and before the old lady came out of the funeral, the people in the family made a fuss, not only making the family uneasy, but also burning the fire on her.
Before getting married, my grandmother had already found the second old lady and the third old lady, and she also thought that the people in the clan would not give up after her grandmother's death, but the current competition for interests should be the position of the patriarch, and her matter of the married daughter would be covered up after all.
Who would have thought that it would be brought up by the people of the clan.
Now who can help her say a word in the clan? My father can even take a leave of absence from my mother, so how can I keep her. Will he not hesitate to abandon her at the critical moment.
Shizi claimed to be seriously ill to the outside world, how could he stand up and speak for her at this time. She had just gotten married, and her position in the family was precarious, and more people were standing on the sidelines to watch her jokes, and who could really think about her.
In the past, her grandmother, mother, and eldest sister could help her, but now that her grandmother and eldest sister are gone, her mother is also unable to protect herself...... Thinking like this, the hairs on his body stood on end, and he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
What the hell should I do?
Yaohua was thinking about it, Xiangzhu opened the curtain and said, "The prince is here." ”
Yaohua stood up to get up, and when she saw the pair of black and white soap boots at the door, she suddenly changed her mind, reached out and made the bun slightly soft, and waited until Ren Yanfeng entered the house, Yaohua gritted her teeth and got up, and before Ren Yanfeng could speak, she couldn't support it and fell down.
Yaohua was just about to stretch out his hand to support him again, but his hand had already been held first, "Don't get up if you're not feeling well." ”
Hearing such warm and concerned words, Yaohua couldn't help but shed tears, "The son of the world is here, how can I still lie down." ”
Ren Yanfeng frowned, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm also afraid that you won't feel comfortable coming to see you." ”
Yaohua's tears fell again, crying until she was in the sore spot, her breath was unstoppable, her throat was itchy, she covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and coughed non-stop.
Ren Yanfeng was even more distressed when she saw the delicate and powerless appearance of the beauty, "It's all my fault, I didn't come up with such a method, and I wouldn't let you not even see your grandmother for the last time." ”
Yaohua sobbed non-stop, and her speech began to be intermittent, "The imperial doctor said that this year is fine, otherwise I would not be able to get married, my grandmother really hurt me in vain, and I don't wonder that the people in the clan will say this about me." ”
Ren Yanfeng hurriedly said: "I've heard about your family's affairs, it has nothing to do with you, it's just an excuse, and besides, my father-in-law should be able to fight for you, the marriage between the two of us is above board, we must say wrong, that's also my fault, how can it have anything to do with you." ”
Yaohua still cried non-stop, and her pretty face with a big palm brought rain, which was pitiful.
Ren Yanfeng said: "It's inconvenient for me to go out now, but I can let someone go and talk to my father-in-law, and let my father-in-law think of talking for you, so why should I cover up your matter." As he spoke, he took Yaohua in his arms.
Yaohua's crying voice gradually became smaller.
Her father married her to Chang Ningbo's mansion because he wanted to settle Gu Ying's case by relying on Chang Ningbo's relationship. As long as her father still has a glimmer of hope in this matter, he will not abandon her.
……
Rong Hua went to the old lady's house to talk about the old lady's funeral, "I want to seal the materials today." ”
The old lady nodded, "Then go back early, it's always bad to not see the last side late, don't let the family wait," said Rong Hua worriedly, "Did you use the prescription prescribed by the imperial doctor?" ”
Rong Hua said respectfully: "If you use it, you can rest assured." ”
The old lady nodded, "If you want to stay at home, send someone back to say it, so that someone can send the futon over." Mingrui should let him go when he comes back at night, it's always uncomfortable for you to be alone over there. ”
The old lady had heard something. I'm afraid that the people of the clan will be embarrassed by her.
Rong Hua raised her head, and the old lady's eyes were full of pity. "I know it's not easy for you, it's all for this family, and you can only make up for the debts over there."
The old lady was talking about Tao Zheng'an being implicated in Gu Ying's case, Xue Chongyi's attitude was aggressive that day, and she had already made her position clear.
In front of people, people always have to see that she is worried about her mother's family. Rong Hua seemed to be told by the old lady, bowed her head and chin, "Grandmother always does her filial piety in front of her," she paused, "There is still something to tell the old lady." ”
The old lady smiled slightly, "Say, what do you need my help with?" ”
Rong Hua then spoke, "There are a few girls and companions around my grandmother, I think that my grandmother is gone, how can I properly settle them, I am still short of manpower in the Zhuangzi, can I just let them come, and I don't need to go into the house to do things, as long as I stay in the Zhuangzi......"
The old lady said, "What a big deal I should be. You can set these yourself, and you don't have to go to Zhuangzi, if you can use them, let them go into the house to do things, and if they are beyond the customization, they will be arranged. ”
According to the custom, there has been a shortage of manpower in her yard, and the old lady and others agreed to arrange it like this, which is also the person who trusted her to agree to her arranging her mother's family in the house.
After speaking, Rong Hua came out of the old lady's room.
As soon as Mrs. Niu came to tell her that the carriage and horses had been arranged, Feng Lichang's family came in and said, "Young lady, the second wife of the Tao family is here." ”
Rong Hua nodded, "Quickly invite the second aunt in." ”
Feng Lichang's family went to invite the Wang family, and Mrs. Niu instructed the maids to load the things they took to the Tao family into the carriage.
Wang entered the house, and Rong Hua and Wang sat down in the side room.
Jinxiu brought the tea up, and the Wang family didn't take a sip before he spoke: "The clan asked me to help the uncle handle the old lady's funeral." ”
In other words, the eldest lady was completely left aside.
Rong Hua said: "What does the clan say about mother? ”
Wang frowned and said, "It's just that I bit my sister-in-law's unfilial piety, and it's hard to let go for a while, and Yaohua's marriage ......"
It must be the second old lady and the third old lady who really incited the clansmen to blame Tao Zheng'an, the eldest lady and Yaohua, partly because of the old lady's last words, and partly because Tao Zheng'an occupied the position of the patriarch of the clan.
In fact, as long as Tao Zhengan takes all the sins on himself, the matter of taking the initiative to give up the position of the sect leader will slowly subside.
Tao Zheng'an gave up his wife and daughter and did not give up his rights, such an act will not exchange for the understanding of the clan, but will only let everyone see his face clearly.
Tao Zheng'an, the head of this family, can't do it.
Wang said embarrassedly: "When I came out, the uncle instructed me to let the eighth aunt and grandmother have a preparation, and the elders in the clan may ask the eighth aunt *** meaning." ”
Rong Hua said in surprise: "I am already a married daughter......
Wang said: "The second old lady said that the old lady's funeral should be done according to the old lady's instructions, and let the eighth aunt and grandmother come back to help, so that the old lady can leave with peace of mind." After a pause, "Now many decisions involve the old lady's funeral, and the elders of the clan mean to listen to the eighth aunt and grandmother." ”
